ernor John Gary Evans had seen fit to
appoint Mr.. Henry. At the end of
two years his friends had solicited him
to become candidate against Mr..
Henry. He told them no, that Mr..
Henry had held the Office but a short
time, and he would wait. In the
meantime he went on the stump in Ian.
caster and asked for the endorsement
of his people for the senate. He told
them on every stump that he aspired
higher to the Office of solicitor. They
elected him and he came to the people
of York with this endorsement of bis
own people. He had no criticisms to
make of Mr.. Henry's conduct of the
office but he thought Mr.. Henry had
held it long enough, and inasmuch ne
had gotten it both times without ex-
pense, it would be no injustice to him
if he should be required to give place
to the speaker as his successor. lap

At the conclusion of Mr.. Hough's
remarks, about two and half hours
had been consumed, and there being no
further speeches, Chairman Brice de-

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.
When this tube gets inflamed you have
a rumbling 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 condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intiamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh.
