NERVOUS DISEASES Can Be Endured But They Can Also
 Be Cured

You may have long suffered from vari- ous forms of nervous trouble; there are usually many complications whenever the nervous system breaks down. Any slight excitement almost prostrates yeI, your spirits are depressed, you have ire quent nervous headaches, you suffer from sleeplessness or unrestful sleep, you have dizziness or palpitation of the heart, and at all times suffer from that restless fidgety feeling that marks nervous debiii- ty.
 You can endure all these nervous trou- bles for years or escape them now and for good. You can choose one condition or the other. The difference Is largely due to the presence or lack of iron in the system-a kind of iron you may never get unless you get 1t from Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic.
 It promptly cures all forms of nervous debility or exhaustion. It increases the vigor of all your vital organs. It en- riches your blood with just that form of iron needed to build up your nervous sys- tenn and to give you nerve force and muscular energy.
 You should know that Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is not an experiment, not a new remedy, but one which has been constantly overcoming these conditions for forty-five years. You can believe in a remedy with a record like that. Made only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, O. Sold everywhere.

ANoREE AND HIS COMPANIONS.
It Is More Than Four Years Since They
 Disappeared In the Northern Sky.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Tromsoe, Norway, July 11.-There Is no longer any hope of Andree's return. Sci entific men in this country and experi- enced Ice pilots and whalers all agree that he could not have survived three months They place no faith in any of the messages and signs alleged to have come from him. 1t was just four years ago this very day, July Il, 1897, one clear afternoon, when the wind was in the right quarter, that Andree summoned his companions without ceremony, cut the ropes that detained his aerial carriages and scared away into the Arctic sky. Whatever may be thought about the pru- dence and scientific practicability of voyage to the North pole in balloon, there was never so sublime an exhibition of human daring, indifference to danger and death. as that given by the young Swede and his devoted companions, Fraenkel and Strindberg. Having con- vinced himself and them that there is a steady current of air, like the trade winds of the tropics, from the bounda- ries of the Arctic Circle to the pole, they staked their lives on their faith, built a balloon and attempted to make the voy- age
 It must have been a remarkable scene when they departed Andree had waited for favorable weather nearly two weeks after his arrangements were complete, and was becoming very impatient, when, as he came from dinner on the afternoon of the 11th of July, he noticed with grat- iflcation that all the conditions were fa vorable. He hastily called his assistants, who made rapid preparations for depart ure. Within half an hour everything was ready. Andree shook hands with all the bystanders in a most solemn manner. thanked them in few hearty words for their interest and assistance, stepped cooly into his car, called Fraenkel and Strindberg, who were saying goodbye to their friends, and cut the ropes with his own hands. As the last cord was sever ed and the balloon rose heavenward, he leaned over the edge of the car and shouted:
 Greetings at home to Sweden"
 The three aeronauts waved their caps until they disappeared into an unknown world where the north wind comes from.
 The scaffolding built for Andree's ball. loon and the cabins he used for his work shops still stand on the edge of the ford awaiting the disposition of their absent owner-a melancholy reminder which appeals to the sentiment of the Norwegians. who will allow always to stand as a monument to Andree, Fraen- kel and Strindberg.

New Orleans Asks Him to Investigate
 Sewerage Work.

The sewerage and water board of the city of New Orleans has invited City En- gineer Julian Kendrick to visit that city In the capacity of an expert.
 This board was created for the purpose of providing an adequate system of sew, craze Sfor the city of New Orleans. Ad- vice has already" been asked from the leading engineers of the United States, and this Is considered a great compliment to MT Kendrick as well as the city of Birmingham.
 Years ago the New Orleans Sewer Con- pany was granted a franchise to put in a system of sewers, with the privilege, of collecting tolls for the connections. The company constructed several lines of sewers, but became involved in law suits and threw up the franchise. The com mission wants to know now whether any portion of these sewers can be utilized In the. general scheme and has invited MT. Kendrick to come to that city and advise them.

GROWTH OF THE EARS.
1t Is Asserted That 1t Never Stops
 Until Death.

From the Philadelphia Saturday Eve
 ming Post
 The systematic examination of more land and France has resulted in some interesting conclusions For one thing, 1t is ascertained that the ear continues to grow in the latter decades of life, in fact, 1t appears never to stop grow ing until death. If one will take the trouble to look around in any assem- blaze of people as at church, he will discover that the old folks have ears considerably larger than those of the middle-aged. A woman who has small, shell-like ears at 20 years of age will be very apt to possess medium-sized ears at 40 years and large ears at 60
 Why ears should go on growing all ones life, any more than noses, Is a mys- tery There are a good many other points about them that are instructive. their shapes being marked persistent through heredity. An ear will be handed down, so to speak, from father to son for generation after generation with compar- atfyely little modification. Some authori- ties on cyiminology assert that criminals are very apt to possess a peculiar kind of ear, which Is recognized by an expert in such matters.
 There Is probably nobody in the world who has pair of ears perfectly match ed; in most people the two differ per- ceptibly not only in shape. but also in size. Frequently they are not placed pre- cisely alike. on the, head. The age of a person may be Judged with great accura- cy by the ears, which after youth is past assume an increasing harshness of con- tour. A pretty woman whose first youth has departed may not show the fact in other ways, but these tell-tale features will surely tell the story of the flight of time. Then there is the little wrinkle that come just in front of each ear dur ing, the thirties-a fatal and ineradicable sign.ess
 Near the top of each ear, just within the down turned edge and slightly to- ward the back, will be found. if one feels for it, small lump of cartilage. This Is a remnant of what was originally the tip of the ear, when, ever so long ago, that organ in our remote ancestors had point to it. Most Of the apes today have pointed ears. but in human beings the upper edge of the organ has, in the course of ages. been folded over so as to cover the real tip.

Evasive Answer.

Washington, August 19.-It was an- nounced at the Navy Department that the North Atlantic squadron would sail from Newport about the 18th inst. for Hampton Roads. When specific inquiry was made as to whether this had any connection with the trouble In South America, an evasive answer was given that it had no relative connection what ever to affairs in that territory. It was expected the manuevers of the squadron In New England waters had come to a close and that the southern drill grounds off Hampton Roads afford better facili- ties for the evolutions in contemplation
 These plans appear to have been formed some time ago The effects of the move ment, however, will be to place the ves- sells of this squadron at about a day and half's sailing nearer to the southern difficulties than they would be if they remained on the New England coast, and also a good location for coaling and equipping, if any necessity should arise for dispatching any of these ships.

MINISTER SILVA
 CALLS ON MR, HAY Representative of Colombia Makes Situation Clearer TRAFFIC IS UN0BSTRUCTED First Responsibility Is On Colombia and When She Is Unable to Full
 fill 1t the United States
 Will Act.
TRAFFIC IS UNOBSTRUCTED

Washington, August 1e.-The Colombian minister, pr. Silva, had a conference to- day with Secretary Hay It was the first personal exchange between the Secretary and the representative of Colombia since the present disturbance started. Dr. Silva gave MT. Hay information to the effect that traffic on the isthmus was entirely unobstructed and also assured him of the ability of Colombia to keep traffic open.
 The minister's communication to Secre- tary Hay did not take any formal or writ ten shape, but was an informal discussion of the situation based on the minister's latest advices. He informed the Secre- tary that a cable dispatch from Bogota sent last Thursday stated that traffic across the isthmus was entirely unob- structed as a result of the efforts of the Colombian authorities.
 He also expressed the fullest confidence that Colombia was able to maintain free traffic across the isthmus.
 So far as the United States government is concerned. there has not been any pur- pose to exert any military force in keep ing open isthmian traffic until 1t became perfectly plain that Colombia was unable to do so This view was doubtless made known to pr. Silva, although the nature of the exchange is known in almost the general way.
 The assurances given by Dr. Silva make clear certain features of the situation.
 Situation Made Clear.
 First-There Is no interruption of traffic now, Colombia giving official assurance of this and the United States having no advices from its representatives showing an actual stoppage of traffic within re- cent days.
 Second-Both governments are agreed that the first responsibility for maintain ing free traffic is on Colombia, and that the United States Is not called upon to act until Colombia finds herself unable to fulfill the primary responsibility.
 Third-The United States undoubtedly will judge for Itself when any occasion arises for exerting its authority on the isthmus. A representation from Colombia would be strong evidence that such an occasion had arisen. But 1t is not essen- tial to await a request or notice from Colombia, although such determination would receive the fullest consideration. The exact condition as to whether traffic is open or closed will determine finally whether there Is any occasion for the exercise of force by the United States.
 It was stated at the navy department that the battleship Iowa, now at San Francisco, will probably sail for Panama omorrow morning. The Iowa is undergo ing repairs to her boilers. This work Is being pushed with all possible expediency so that there shall be as slight delay in the trips southward as possible.s

rom the New York Clipper.

From the New York Clipper. 2 One night when one of Byron's big melo-dramas was being produced for the first time the playwright sat out in front among the critics.
 '. The first and second acts had been given. receiving such applause from the audience that the worde success. was ] stamped on the play from the start.
 The orchestra had finished the entr'aci number. and two other selections be- sides. still the signal for the rise of the curtion on the third had not been given. People began to wonder at the long wait and Byron was about to leave his friends and go back to ascertain the cause when the buzzing sound of a saw was heard from the other side of the footlights.
 Whats that?" asked one of the party addressing the author.
 I'm sure don't know-unless they're cutting out the third act." was Byron's quick retoinder.

 At the conclusion of the fruitless con- ference to arrange terms of peace, Botha said:

 MT. Vaughn of Dallas offered an amend ment to include members of municipal councils in the list of officers who shall not receive passes. MT. Vaughn spoke In support of his amendment. He contended that free passes were an evil In public life. He said he had been informed by a railroad attorney that passes were is- sued for influence. He said the man who would not be influenced by receiving the pass was an ingrate MT. Blackwell of fered an amendment to the amendment It provided that members of the Legisla- ture who are employees of railroads may accept passes for themselves but not for others. MT Blackwell addressed the con- vention in support of his amendment.
 MT. Brooks of Mobile, one of the lead CTS in the anti-free pass crusade, made an earnest speech against their use.
 MT. Long of Walker opposed the sec ton reported He said If a man could be bought by a free pass he could be bought by a dollar or drink of whisky. If given the opportunity he would pre- sent substitute.
 MT. Opp of Covington favored the sec ton as being sufficiently stringent.
 Judge Coleman also favored 1t and said no unbiased mind would deny that 1t was a great evil for legislators and Judicial officers to accept free passes.
 On motion of Mir Opp the Blackwell and Vaughn amendments were tabled and the section adopted as reported.

The time has come when the people ought to be protected.
 MT. Long of Butler spoke in favor of the minority report. He gave instances showing that debts due building and loan associations grew larger instead of small CT by continued payments.
