Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and hat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the muscouS lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the muScuous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

NEWSPAPER MAN GOT EVEN.

No great statesman with good hard
horse sense ever went out his way TO
Offend a newspaper man.
Some years ago there was a very hot
campaign in Georgia for a big office.
In a distant city lived a candidate
who was confident OF election. He was
proud and naughty, and thought only
of himself.
A young newspaper man was de-
tailed by the managing editor to ac-
company the statesman and report his
speeches.
Now comes the funny part Of the
story. The statesman ignored his COM
~panion-left him to take care OF him
self-introduced him to nobody-treated
him without any consideration.
Once when they We're riding In a
buggy through the country they
stopped at a spring. The statesman
lcooled a bottle Of wine in the spring
and drank it ali, without Offering thu
Journalist a drop.
Then he helped himself to a cigar
from his valise, and resumed his seat
in the buggy.
Drive on" he said.
The newspaper man hated and de-
spised the cold blooded politician. but
he had his work to do.
He reported the speeches and cam
ipaign incidents, but in a quiet way he
knitted the statesman. The big man
read the reports n was conscious
that something was lacking. but he
could not tell exactly h
The newspaper man simply stuck to
facts n damned the candidate with
faint praise. He left out the element
lof enthusiasm. He was dull. md DELHI
erately so.
The candidate was defeated and he
never knew how much the newspaper
man had to do with it.
OF course. he did not dream that his
lown conduct had injured him. No mean
imam e makes the discovery that he
is mean.-Atlanta Constitution.

The principal talk today has been
about the policy TO be pursued in the
selection OF a vice presidential candi-
date.
BY those already present, there Is
manifested quite a noticeable friend
snip Tor Hon. Charles a Towne. the
silver republican leader OF Minnesota,
but there are some who contend that
the honor should go To a ~popuIist.
Senator Butler is among those who
are believed To favor Mr.. Towne. In
an interview. he said:
w are going TO be liberal with the
iother parties who are cooperating
with us on general lines. In 1896 We
took Bryan after he had been nomi-
mated Dy the democrats and We stood
Loyalty for him To the end OF the cam

going to be he first party To put him
IN he field, and so far as | have been
able TO discover. there is very general
disposition towards goirs even fur
Their. If need be. in selecting a candi-
date for the vice presidency who will
be acceptable To the silver republicans.
Those whom l have seen are perfectly
united upon the proposition that all
must be done that Is possible to do to
secure absolute harmony among the
lpopulists, democrats and silver repub-
licans in the support OF Mr.. Bryan and
believe the party will be found

At the recent meeting of the Virginia
Bar Association Mr.. ]. w. Chapman, Of
the Tazewell bar, was elected one OF the
vice.presidents of the Association. The
Financial Review, published in New
York, in speaking of the honor conferred
upon Mr.. Chapman, made the following
we'll merited comments thereon:
"Among the noteworthy features Of
the recent meeting of the Virginia Bar AS
sociation was the election of ]. w. Chap.
man, of Tazewell, as vice president, not
so much because Of the responsibility Of
that Office, but because Of the recognition
of his standing in the calling. Mr.. Chap
man is of the law firm of Chapman & Gil
Iespie, and has been practitioner al the
bar for the past twenty years or more,
during which time some of the leading
business houses of his section of the State
have called upon him to protect their in:
terests. He has been a close student OF
bis calling, but the knowledge acquired
in actual practice has been Of even more
value to him, as he has been exceptional
ly observing. Mr.. Chapman has, in op-
position to the leading lawyers of the
State, show an entire ability to cope With
difficult complications.
