Let This Cup Pass.

Early in the present political cam
paion IL venerable confrere of The
Republican Idea developed an ag-
grayated form of mania, which has
occasioned his friends much alarm.
AS time passed the disease assumed a
more violent type until he now suffers
from almost hopeless case OF Bryan
phobia. The poor mar sees, hears,
thinks, talks and writes Of nothing
but Bryan, Bryan, Bryan. Bryan
haunts him at the midnight hour and
drives balmy sleep from his virtuous
couch. As he strols through the
broad sayannas of his pastoral home
seeking repose for his tired intellect,
the dread spectre Bryan, dogs his
footsteps and banishes the soothing
soIace great minds find in solitude.
When we think that only a few
more short days and then comes the
crisis, we tremble for the result.
When Bryan is returned triumphant in
victory by his the voice OF his
countrymen and the helots OF In
perialism are swept from power, what
will become of the scolding sage then
of The Republican Idea? He will
hang his broken harpsichord on the
willows that line the banks OF the
beautiful Vermilion and in his utter
Indebtedness exclaim "Woe, woe is

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 int1amed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehlan Tube. When this tube gets
inhamed you have a rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely 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 caus-
ed by catarrh, Which is nothing but
an infamed condition of mucous SUR
faces.

Questions, Answered.

Yes August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis Nerv-
GUS Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower TO clean out
the system and stop fermentation Of
andigested food. regulate the action OF
the liver, stimulate the ervou and
organic action Of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.

August Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For Sale by N. G.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE
As the Result of Storm in Cape
Nome District

Seattle, Aug. 31.-The steamship SEN
ator arrived in port, bringing advices up
to August II, the date that she left the
north. She made the trip direct to this
city and she brought nothing but Nome
news. There were $50 returning passen-
gers, many of them who had made the
round trip for pleasure.
The Senator brought about 100000 in
treasure, $500 900 of it consigned to var
ious companies and banking institutions
in this city. The $4,000 was owned by
private individuals.
The recent storms at Nome created a
terrible loss of life. Thirty-eight persons
have so far been recovered on the beach
and buried by the officials.
Captain Richardson, of the SeQuoia,
which is engaged in the fishing trade
down the coast, says that seventeen
between Topkuk and Golovin Bay and
twenty others between Topkuk and Port
Safety. The majority of the drowned
men are supposed to be victims of the
late storm.
r. ]. Nelson found two bodies at
Chinik. On one was found the address
217 Third street, San Francisco, but no
name So far as known not one of the
bodies was identified before burial.
Captain Ramwell, agent of the steamer
Gilmore, says that passengers arriving
from down the coast say that fully
twenty-five dead bodies washed ashore
by the waves, have been buried between
Topkuk and Golovin Bay.
Reports Of drowning have also been
received from up the coast. Men who
have come down from York and Port
Clarence lately state that no doubt
many persons were drowned. How many
or whom will probably never be known.
The schooner Edith arrived at Nome
on August 10 and brought news of a ter
rible tragedy near the Siberian coast.
+. Scott Morrison, Of 713 West Sixty
second street, Chicago, where he leaves
a wife and five children, was foully
murdered by the Siberian natives, and
Captain Gilley, who arrived at Nome
this spring on the Inflated bark Alaska,
a we'll known mariner on the Alaskan
Sledge Island. Both the bodies were
brought back to Nome on the Edith.
