Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con

famed you have rumbling sound or inn
perfect 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 condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever

Oskaloosa Dead.

Mrs. Matthew Nc Carthy sends from
Ell Paso, Texas, to her friend Mrs.
VIM. Rose, of this city, the following
account of the death of man who
was at ono time we'll known in this
city:
&C. B. Talmadge, aged 80 years,
died yesterday, Feb. 20, shortly aft
ernoon after long illness at the Santa
Rosa hospital. The deceased was
native of Iowa, and had been a rail-
way trainman. Shortly before his
death he wrote on slip of paper in
lead pencil the following: Frank
Winkler, Ell Paso, want to be buried
by the side of my mother at Knox
vile, ILL.,, X. of p. No. s. There was
no signature to the note. The de-
ceased was probably member of the
Knights of Pythias belonging to
branch s. The remains were pre-
pared for burial at Shelley's under
taking establishment, where they are
being held for instruction as to their
disposition"
The deceased was well known in
Oskaloosa where he was employed as
brakeman on the Iowa Central rail-
way until about two years ago when
he resigned and went south in the
hopes of obtaining better health. He
was an exemplary and upright young
man and his death will be greatly re.
gretted by his many railroad friends
in this city.

A REVIEW OF TRADE.
Conditions as They Appear to Lead
ing Commercial Agencies.

New York, March 3.-Bradstreets saws:
stormy weather has retarded the de-
velopment of spring trade at many mar
kets, interrupting telegraph and railway
communication and naturally checking
the movement of merchandise In prices
aggressive strength is still the feature of
the cotton and cotton goods market.
while metals remain steady Food prod
ucts, however, have weakened and some
raw materials, like wool and hides, are
quotably lower. Railway returns con-
tinue to reflect large gains over a year
ago. though, as pointed out last week,
comparisons from now on will be with
better conditions in transportation mat
tiers year ago and phenomenal gains
are less likely of attainment. That un-
DERIVING business conditions are in high
degree healthful will be gathered from
the fact that business failures for Feb
ruary are at a minimum as regards the
number for that month, and liabilities
only slightly exceed those of the same
month year ago. having shrunk to
phenomenally low percentage"

view of trade. say: Besides the SSl

pany, after liens for several millions had
been placed upon the property. Unless
separated from such events. commercial
failures could not be compared with
I benefit. The manufacturing failures for
&,2576SS were larger than in February of
1896 or 1885, but more than half the
amount was in two classes. four large
lumber and one clothing failure making
Sc per cent, of the whole. The trading
failures were larger than in February of
last year only. but 20 per cent. of these
defaults were made in five failures. In
most branches the comparison with pre-
vious wears is encouraging, and analysis
brings out in strong light the remark
ably low average of liabilities in the
smaller failures, which constitute the
great majority. indicating sound business
conditions"
