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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tub gets in
famed you have rumbling soand or imper.
feet hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Soldl,rs Several lines.
SOLDIERS ARE FRANTIC With ANGER
More Trouble Is Imminent and the
Situation Is Grave in the Extreme,

Croton Landing n Y, April l6--The
first bloodshed as the outcome OF the
strike at the Cornell Dam was the lifeblood
OF Sergeant Robert Douglass OF the
Eleventh Separate company of Mount YER
non. who was shot by an unknown as
sassin while he was relieving guard at
ten minutes to O'Clock tonight.
The Widest excitement prevailed
throughout tho company as soon as the
news Of the assassination spread to the
different tents aud the soldiers are fran
tic over the crime.
The point where the sergeant fell Is
situated on top OF Hill near Little italy,
where armed strikers were seen this
morning brandishing rifles and shotguns.
Douglass was talking to Sergeant Nc
Dougan and other members OF tho COM
pany when he suddenly clapped hts hand
to his stomach and said: Lord, boys.
I'm shot and fell TO the ground, 1t
was pitch dark at the time, but Nc
Dougall and the others fired volley into
clump OF bushes nearby without hating
anyone. No one saw the Hash or heard
the sound OF the shot which killed
Douglass, and IT was most mysterious
affair
Meanwhile the men picked up the FALLEN
sergeant and carried him down the hill
on a stretcher, but as soon as they reach

News Of a Monster Battle Is Expected
in London at Any Moment.
DEFINITE NEWS is HARD TO OBTAIN.
One Report Is that Wepener Has Fallen at
Last, but II Is UncOnirmed.
THE BOtPs BLOW UP BRITISH GOLFERS
Lack of Horses Is One of the Great
est Drawbacks Lord Roberts Has.
Beers Watching Davis.

London, April II, 1850 a. m.--Lord Rob-
erts has spread his net far and wide to
catch the venturous commandos that have
been making mischief In the southeastern
part of the Free State.
The net has not yet been drawn In, but
at the headquarters OF Lord Roberts the
impression exists that the power of the
Beers is decreasing.
A Daley News correspondent has them
fleeing to the southeast; Standard Gorge
spondent reports them fleeing northward;
a Daily Telegraph correspondent says
that some are going north andy others
south. while a Morning Post report finds
1t is not known what the Beers are doing.
Evidently the feeling at Bloemfontein
is that the disposition of Lord Roberts
is such as to enable him to concentrate a
large force rapidly at any point. The
Beers, being aware OF this, are presumed
to be thinking now chiefly of retreat. The
investment OF Wepener, according to spe-
cial dispatches from Bloemfontein, has alb
solutely been abandoned. According to a
peiHdHy ulSpdtCn Tue bOers are unable TO
retreat northward because the British
strongly hold all roads.
Divers reports come from Natal, one
asserting that the Beers have retired be-
yond the Biggardsberg range and another
saying that some OF them are close to
Ladysmith.
London awaits confidently for almost
immediate announcement OF news favor
able to the British. Distrust exists, how
ever, as to any rapid, continuous advance
toward Pretoria chiefly on account Of the
lack OF horses, many OF which die In the
case of long voyages.
Letters from the Cape say that three
days journey by rail is made In open
trucks that the arrangements for feeding
and watering are inadequate and that the
unfortunate animals break down rapidly in
consequence of this hardship.
Despite the energy of British BUYERS
abroad the war office foresees much diff
hculty in supplying the enormous number
of horses required.
