startled the world by its marvellous

it has doomed their business, as the

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 that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused BY an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
" men this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound Of 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 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 mucous
surfaces.

GRAND SUCCESS

on the latter day work could be shown

| which the National Guard is capable.
| 1t ~ true that those who saw last sun

! prOyement made by the regiment.
| There We're more than the usual num-
Der of visitors at the camp. yesterday,
/ and most Of them witnessed the guard
mount ana dress parade. The guard
mount passed off very well until it
came to passing in review, when there
were some rather bad irregularities and
the men We're ordered to pass in review
! a second time. when everything went
well. The BuGIc Corps has shown very
great Improvement. Under the direc-
tion Of Drum Major Johnny McCarty
the corps has been putting in some
! hard work and now shows up to good
advantage. Mr.. McCarty has given the

almost perfectly straight. At the com
mand order Arms," every gun seemed
to strike the ground at the same time

miration Of all. The good work at
dress parade is one result Of the faith

entered camp.
Something little out Of the ordinary
was offered. last night; Capt. ]. F.
| Hill of Waterville, had been racking

| boys ana the result was Camp Powers
presented a pleasing scene, at $50
| o'clock.
japanese lanterns were strung from
| tent to tent at rcgimental headquar-
| ters; the "a Regiment Band was sta
toned there and red fire added to the
| brilliant scene. A glorious concert was
given by the band and was enjoyed by
| a large gathering Of soldier boys and
visitors. Capt. Hill doesn't like to see
! time drag on the hands of the boys
when they are off duty; he wants them
| TO have a good time and hence last

similar to offer. Thursday evening
Many compliments were heard for the

After the concert, the camp began to
grow quiet and the soldiers scattered to
their quarters. The quietness and good

The savings bank taxation is a much
discussed question at the present time
at the different departments. This is
caused. perhaps, as much by the show
ing of interest as made by the last
bank examiners report as anything
else. 1t is a noticeable part that the
interest paid depositors is steadily de-
creasing. There are a few banks il,
the State that are paying 4 per cent.
hut they are very few. The average
interest as shown by the reports. is
SO per cent, and il is believed THAI
with a continuation Of the present
laws, and interest must soon drop II 8
per cent, or to such a point that the
people will no longer think Of making
deposits in savings banks. but will frd
some other place Of investment less
safe than that of the savings banks.
1t is noticed that the last report Of
Bank Examiner Timberlake that the
amount Of time deposits are With the
trust companies, has been reduced a
great deal during the past two
months. This, it is believed is due to
The people wanting their money for
some ether purpose. As Il rule the peD-
pie who deposit with trust companies
do so only with the idea Of letting the
money remain there until they shall
want it for some other investment. 50
