A Pop orator, says the Galena Re
publican was about to begin his speech
when the sound of drum was heard
approaching. Whats that?" asked
the orator, and when informed that it
was the Salvation Army he made a
break for the back of the stage and
was about to jump off when the chair
man said: Hold on. What's the
matter with you?" Il don't want to
speak to those fellows" said the ora

Why" said the chairman, ''the Sal

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf.

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inf1aned ysu have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed con-

Thirty-six years ago last August
there assembled in Chicago the repre-
sentatives of the Democratic party,
and they declared then as now that
the government was carrying on a
vindictive, horrible. imperialIstic and
totally hopeless war and that the per-
tidity of the president was wholly at
fault, and he, spattered with the
blood of his countrymen defied hu-
manity and disgraced the name and
smirched the fame of America. The
notorious Vallandigham, whom Lin
coin had ordered out of the country
on account of his reasonable utter
ances, was the master spirit of the
convention. There is no difference
between the Democratic party of to-
day and the Democratic party of thir-
ty-six years ago: still this upstart who
heads their national ticket is going
over the country today repeating the
sayings of the martyr president. The
Democratic party from its organiza-
tion has been a menace to the well
fare of the country and will be so long
as it is controlled by such reckless agI-
tatOrs as William ]. Bryan and others
of his ilk.

hearted brother in the south seas. 1
would try for treason such men as At
kinson and others of his stripe, and if
the hangman's knot did not end his
raving at least the dungeon should re-
echo his anarchist bapble from wall

A preiudiced Democratic Judge and

A prejudiced Democratic judge and
jury have convicted another innocent
man who they claimed had hand in
the murder OF William Goebel. How
ard, who was given the benefit of a
mock trial, was "found" guilty last
week and given the death sentence
just as was exspected before the trial
begun. Gov. Taylor was requested to
return to Kentucky for trial, which
he refused to do, knowing full well
that he would not be given a fair
hearing. Secretary of State Powers
was the first man tried for Goebel:s
murder and was convicted. Then came
Howard's trial and he suffered the
same fate and it would be folly for
Gov. Taylor to return as he would
stand convicted the moment he touch
ed Kentucky soil.
