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 inflam-
ed condition of the mucous lining of the Eust-
achian Tube, When this tube gets in1amed
ing. 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 destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inffamed 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

give out the. impression that there are
only 81 teachers in attendance at the
summer school here, and says that
when held at that place there were
100, and thinks that number could
have been reached had the school been

it has been greatly surpassed here.
The enrolment has passed the 225

quite a severe cut to one foot from "a
barbed wire, last week.
The Lake Crystal Coronet band is
working on an arrangement to .hold.a
grand band picnic and harvest carni-
val, to occur some time in August
They expect to have about a dozen
bands here for the occasion.
We understand that Mrs. Fred Rask
while alighting from, or getting into
a conveyance when attending service
at the Swedish church in Lincoln two
weeks ago last Sunday, fell and sus-
tanned severe injuries.
The chinch bugs are doing damage
to grain lying only in timber country.
If proper precautions were taken to
destroy the chinch bug every fall as
there should be, farmers would have
no trouble. In the fall the leaves and
rubbish should be raked into windrows
and burned just before snow falls !;
straw stacks, manure piles or any such
place where the bugs can crawl into
and winter should be burned; in this
way the bugs can be destroyed It
may not be accomplished the first
year, but keep at it, and in a few sea-
sons the beasts will be destroyed.

ed away at his home in Butternut
Valley last Friday morning. He has

other son and three daughters.

dence at p. m. last Sunday, conduct

Through information given toOfficer
Kelly by lad named Craver, the police
were today enabled to recover most of
the goods that were stolen month
ago from the grocery..store of Kilstrom
& Lindfeldt, at 2OS North Front street.
The plumber was found hidden in the
sand under the platform back of the
J. I. Case building, which is next
south of the store. 1t was covered with
rocks
Four boys were implicated in the
robbery. They placed pebbles on the
window sill, so that the window
could not be closed down tightly in
the evening. Then they returned and
committed the robbery in the night.
Arrests will probably follow at once.
The goods recovered consist of
tobacco, cigars, matches, and a can of
peaches. The boys had used a few
packages. The Craver boy was not
connected with the robbery but OBJ
tanned his information from talk
among the boys.

their broadness, their big trees, their
repose, a suggestion of the culture of

street suggests Midway. The town
has put away its culture and thrown
itself into merry-making. 1t is lit

MR.. LUNN VERY ILL.

John Lunn, father of Lunn Bros. of
the city restaurant and bakery, is very
ill in the rooms on the second floor of
the Gazette building The illness COM
menced about two weeks ago, although
Mr.. Lunn has never entirely recovered
from the effects of a stroke of par
alysis received nearly year ago.
The present illness is in measure
due TO brain trouble. The patient has
been growing worse ever since the at
tack came on, and the hot weather has
made the suffering all the more in
tense. On Sunday and Monday he was
sinking SO rapidly that it was thought
he could not live much longer, and
Rev. VIM. Mitchell of the Episcopal
church called and administered the
sacrament.
Yesterday morning it was reported
that Mr.. Luun had passed a fairly
comfortable night, and was feeling
some better. Ice applications have
been frequent, and with temporary
change in the weather Monday eve
ming, these have probably caused the
rallying on part of the patient Red,

MARKET FOR FUTURES
MUCH OF THE RECENT ADVANCE
 WIPED OUT.
Report That a West Indian Storm Was Breaking the Drought 'fl Texas Was a Dominat-
 ing Factor.

NEW YORK. July 10.-Much of the ad- vance recently scored in cotton futures was wiped out today. The market opened on the local exchange easy with July { points higher and other months ,lnt points lower. These figures were the best Of the day. while at the bottom the net loss was 11dH points with July leading the down ward movement. The dominating inilu- ence was a report that another West ln- dian storm had struck Galveston and was breaking up the drought which has held Texas so long in a grip that was very injurious to half-grown cotton. This storm caught the local trade and the Southern and foreign interests pretty well loaded with new crop options. A scramble to dump this staple overboard resulted in pronounced break in prices throughout the list. Smaller longs lost faith in their standing and also hastily unloaded. The early English market was about as expected, when the rain reports reaching a level 5@5 1apoints under last nights closing at the lowest.
 In the early afternoon bulls directed at tention to the fact that the weather fore cast did not point to general rains Tn Texas tomorrow. but indicated continued drought over the rest of the central and western belt. Moreover a storm was said to be approaching the South Atlantic Coast. where dry weather is now much needed to save the crop from grass and lice. But the room was skeptical and re- fused to take the bull side. preferrlng 10 await tomorrow's cables and weather map. While there were some reactionary movzments, the general course or the market was disappointing all through the last hour. Closed easy at a net decline of 10019 points.
