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 consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucus lining OF the

Ing and when 1t is entirely closed deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation car be

Corporation Department Paying one

Corporation Department "a Paying One.
The corporation department of the
secretary of states Office transacted an
unusually large volume of business
during the year 1899. An examination
of the books discloses the fact that ar
ticles of incorporation of 726 new cor
porations were received for fling,
while rs corporations filed amendments
increasing their capital stock. The
new interpretations were of the follow
ing classes: Mercantile and manufac-
turing, 1872; mining, A; religious asso-
Citations, 43; street and electric rail
ways, IS; telephone, 10; publishing, 10;
banks, s; railroads, Il gas, :; naviga-
ton and transportation, 5; electric
light, s; miscellaneouk 126.J During
the year, 439 mercantile and manufac-
turing corporations filed notices of dis
solution, and 1876 were stricken from
the records on information that the COM
panies had ceased to exist. Annual re-
ports were filed as follows; Merchan-
tile and manufacturing companies,
1851; charitable societies, 81; street
railway companies, 6; transportation
companies, II; publishing companies,
81; miscellaneous, 40. The aggregate
authorized capital stock of the corpor-
ations fling articles during the year is
1892 ,2l9,0 60 That the department is a
paying one is demonstrated by the fact
that it collected fees aggregating SILL
1o0.s1 during the year. OF this total,
S166, 902. rs were franchise fees, 81, TAP. 20
recording and filing fees, and 81, 455. SO

COUNTY UNIFORMITY.
Editor REpoRp;-

Editor REoQRpi-=
] wish to say a few things in
relation to uniformity" of school
books, and especially to notice
some things in the two articles
appearing in last weeks issue OF
the RECORD; one "by request" Of
our county examiner, being a
supposed editorial OF the Clay
County Progress, which doubtless
was suggested and paid adver.
tisement of some book trust that
would like for many more coun.
ties in this state to vote in favor
of uniformity, and one by Prof.
Alcorn, a special friend and tutor
of our county examiner, both of
which appearing in print just be.
fore the school election, and so
soon after the visit TO our county
of the agents for some of the big
book trusts in the interest OF uni.
formity, is calculated to make US
wonder what has so suddenly
struck our county examiner and
Prof. Alcorn.
These articles do not present to
the reader anything but the old
re.hash Of assertions without rea-
son or proof, which have been
dished out to tho public by the
friends of these trusts, from the
beginning of the uniformity agi.
tation. To opr pleasant surprise,
the Progress man acknowledges
That the price Of school books in
lis county (whefe they have
adopted uniformity ia not as low
as they expected, bat very ad.
roitly fails to give US the price on
any of the newly adopted books,
which same acknowledgment l
am sure our Prof, Alcorn will
have to make if Sharp county
should unfortunately vote in favor
of this unjust and undemocratie
law. The price OF books "back
in the state from which ! moved"
has but little to do with the price
the book trusts will furnish their
books ia the counties voting in
favor of uniformity, "a the coun.
+ ties can testify, which so foolishly
adopted uniformity one year ago.
And again it is a false proposition
to claim that this law is Of any
advantage to the poor and would
save any nancy to the people Of
our county in the first six years,
but the contrary is true, Lot vs.
illustrate: We have some "a
school districts in Sharp county,
with an average Of fifty children
to the district, and we could not
reasonably expect to get the new
outfit of school books (which we
would have to do il the children
attended school) for less than So
per child, on an average, this
makes the nice little sum of S11,.
100 for the first year. How many
men would there be in Sharp
county who could not possibly
get the money to buy the re-
CURED act Of books tor their chill.
dren on the first Of July and
thereby be forced to keep their
children at homeS The answer
would be many. But not only
this, but ct the same time will
have to discard and throw away
