KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
New. from the state Prison.

Since the first of the year the
Kansas penitentiary is more than pay
ing expenses. For January the profits
were $1,000; February, $4,000; and
they will be about $4,000 for March.
There are $50 convicts in the Kansas
penitentiary. Of the total number
only 125 are worked by private con-
tractors. Three hundred are in a coal
mine operated by the state and 200
are used in making binding Irvine.
Others are making brick. All the coal
for the universities, colleges, asy-
lums, and the entire state institu-
tons of Kansas are supplied with fuel
from the penitentiary mines. Brick is
also manufactured for new and to
replace the state buildings, but
neither coal nor brick from the peni-
tertiary is sold to outsiders. Irvine
is sold direct to farmers at two cents
below trust prices.

Deafne.. 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 that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumblng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Kansas Flour Mills.

There are about 300 -four mills in
Kansas with an aggregate capacity OF
10000 barrels a day, or 1O,5OO,00O a
year. They made enough flour last
year to supply 100000 people with
bread. There are few states that
have a greater milling industry. OF
the A 900, 900 bushels of wheat raised
in the state last year, the Kansas mills
will have ground 2S,0OO,OOO bushels
Counting 100000 bushels for seed, il
will be seen that Kansas does not
yield much surplus wheat to be
shipped out in its unmanufactureG
state.

it is regarded as foregone conclu-
