Since these kilograms left on We'd

Although the war office has not re-

The Beers lately confronting Lord

Some discussion is going on In Lon

One idea Is that he will be sent to St.

treason. The Daily Express says:
Mr.. Krugers London agent has in

place before the war broke out, aud
to this fact may be ascribed the fall
ure OF the Transvaal authorities to
blow up the mines"
The Times says: ANY further re-

futile. The collapse of the Transvaal

THE BRITISH SOLDIER.

1t is said that the British soldier
wears such tight clothing that his
internal organs are often seriously
injured. Then when on the march
his chest is compressed by the
weight of his knapsack, canteen,
greatcoat and heavy cartridge belt.
Usually the stomach is the first
organ to suffer from over-taxing of
any nature. Overwork, abuse,
neglect or improper food is bound
to produce dyspepsia and its attend,
ant evils, For any disorder of the
digestive organs Hostetter's Stom
ach Bitters should be taken. This
famous medicine will cure all all,
ments of the tomach. Try it for
constipation, digestion, fatulency,
dyspepsia, nervousness or insomnia.
1t makes the weak strong, and an
occasional dose will keep the bowels
regular.

A Suggestion.

AS the Miller county democratic
central committee will have a very
good purse of money from assess.
ment of candidates and contribu-
tions handed in, we would ask them
to have a nice silk banner prepared
and offer it to the voting box that
would have the largest number of
democratic ballots cast free from
scratching in proportion to the
votes cast at the boxes competing.
this banner to be held by the box
winning it and that box to be
known as the banner box until some
other box can win it in future elec.
tions. Bright Star has always
been known as the Democratic
Gibralta, but the rail roads pene-
trating the township causing new
people to come in and old ones to
move to other localities and new
election boxes having been estab-
lished, it may be that conditions in
Sulphur township should be more
closely looked after by our cam
paigu managers. Let us work to
make our majority in the county

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 in6amed 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 its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
Stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
