Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to euro deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an innamcd con-
dition of the mucous Inning of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed deafness is tho result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
cut and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine case out of ten arc caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an In :
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (causod by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Ohio MEN
Want PLUM
Candidates for Place on
Cuban Commission.
CONGRESSMAN WEAVER
Stands Show of Winninq-.
More Cabinet Changes--
General Dick Recov-
erjno,

Washington, Feb. 25.---Five Ohio men
thus far are candidates for a place on
| the Cuban claims commission, which Is
to adJudicate claims of Americans who
sustained losses in Cuba during the last
insurrection which eliminated in the
Spanish war. These men are Congress-
man Walter Weaver, of Springfield; ex-
Attorney General d. K. Watson, of CO.
lumbus; ex-Lieutenant Governor Robt.
p. Kennedy, of Bellefontaine; Perry
Wood, chairman of the Republican com
mittee OF Athens county, and former
Judge e. r. Austin, of Toledo, says the
Cleveland Leader correspondent.
Viewed from wholly impartial
standpoint, it looks now as though Mr..
Weaver has the best chance of winning,
providing any one of the quintet named
is appointed. The Springfield congress-
man is endorsed by nearly every Re-
publican member of the Ohio delega-
tion, and by members of the committees
on war claims and elections. He has
talked with the president and is satls-
he'd that his application will be given
due consideration.
Mr.. Weaver retires from congress a
week from tomorrow, having failed to
receive denomination last year. His
friends say that in measure his de-
feat in the convention was due to the
part he took in the senatorial contest
in Columbus two years ago. 1t
will be recalled that the congressman
headed large delegation that visited
Governor Bushnell and insisted that he
support Mr.. Hanna, the party nominee,
for United States senator, for which
action Bushnell has never forgiven
him. In the congressional campaign of
1899 the then governor tried to defeat
him for reelection, but failed. Last
year, however, he had the satisfaction
OF seeing him lose another nomination.
Perry Wood is endorsed by Congress-
man, Charles H. Grosvenor. ID. X.
Watson is now member of commits
sion which is recodifying federal stat
ates. Ex-Judge Austin's hearing is
impaired, and for that reason stands
no chance of appointment
The salary of member of the new
claim commission will be 5000 year,
and the tenure of Office is affixed at two
years. although the president will have
authority TO reappoint the commlssion-

from Stan correspondent.
Columbus, Feb. 25.-Hon. John L.
Zimmerman, of Springfield, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor, says that of the other candidates
in the field-Kilbourne Patrick, Has
kell and Welty, the Canton man will
be his strongest opponent. Mr.. Zim-
norman is an attorney and has lots of
the long green. He was candidate for
congress once, against Hon. Walter l..
Weaver, and came within 300 votes of
winning. The district usually gives a
Republican majority of from 1000 10
5000.
Governor Nash will make 35 appoint
mcnts In the next three months, the
most important of which will be two
members of the board of pardons, state
railroad commissioner, state inspector
pf workshops and factories and super
tntendent of printing. The other ap-
pointments will be for the state institu-
lions. The appointment of a railroad
commissioner will come first. The term
of the present incumbent, Hon. r. s.
,kaylor, expires March ID, and IL he
is retained Stark county will have
three heads of departments in tho state
house. General Gyger and Labor Com
missioner Ratchford are citizens of
Stark county. George D. Copeland of
Marion, will retire in April as member
of the board of managers of the Mas
iilon hospital, If he is not re~appoint-
ed.
Tomorrow delegations from Salem

FIRST EPOCH IN CITYS CHURCH HISTORY
Impressive Ceremonies Attending the Dedication

Revival Service In the Evening---Edifice

The first epoch in the church history
Of the city of Sebring opened auspic-
iously Sunday with the dedication of
the First Methodist Episcopal church.
The event was an important one in the
community and persons from many of
the surrounding towns and cities were
present at the services.
The ceremonies attending the didica-
tion began at $50 Sunday morning with
"love feast" and ended in the even
ing by spirited revival service. The
different sessions during the day were
very well attended and the capacity Of
the new edifice was taxed to its utmost
to accommodate all who sought admis-
sion.
The dedication proper took place in
the afternoon, the service beginning
shortly after o'clock. Previous to the

lord Admitted He Was Rob-
Der When Evidence Was
Unea rthed.

The methods used by Sherlock
Holmes, the great fictional detective,
have so impressed the authorities of
Massillon, O., that they have provided
the police with books telling of the
greatest achievements of Holmes. The
officers are under instructions to apply
the Holmes principles in all cases pos
sible.
Accordingly, when 1t was reported
that a trunk had been broken open and
$S5 stolen at John Stevenson's board
ing-house the other day, officer Seaman
proceeded to investigate along Holmes'
line.
He found that the brass hasps Sc
curing the trunk lid had been severed
with a sharp instrument. None was
in the vicinity. The landlord was ask
ed if he had an ak. He produced one
from coalhouse, where he said he al
ways kept It,
There were small particles of brass
on the blade and it just fitted the cut
In the trunk. The officers argued that
If robber had committed the crime
he would not have lugged away an az.
Therefore they decided it must have
been the landlord. When they arrest
ed him he was so amazed at their line
OF reasoning that he admitted his guilt

A BUSY WEEK IN THE HOUSE,
The Time Will Be Occupied With Con.
ference Reports.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The last week
or this congress in the house will be
mainly occupied with conference re.
ports on the appropriation bills and
the other numerous measures now be-
ing fought over by the managers of
the two houses. The last OF the gen.
eral appropriation bills went to the
senate on Thursday, and tho house has
Its decks pretty well cleared for the
final contests with the senate. Some
OF these struggles probably will be ex-
ceedingly fierce, but when it comes
down to actual work the house. al.
though large and unwieldly body or
dinarily, can dispose of business under
It's rules with much greater cclerity
than the senate.
The last six days of tho session are
suspension days, and it is always pos
sible to bring the house to a vote on
any appropriation under a motion to
suspend tho rules, which provide for
only twenty minutes debate upon q
side. The time has practically gone
by for the passage of new bills, al
though an attempt doubtless will be
made to secure action on the bills to
promote tho efficiency of the revenue
cutter service and to create a stand
ardlzing bureau. Beyond these and
few small bills OF local Importance no
effort will be made to put through any
new bills. The leaders know that it
would be a waste of time to send any
urther general legislation to the senate
at this stage of the session, and their
efforts will be directed to clearing up
matters in dispute between tho two
houses.
II probably will be necessary TO hold
night sessions during the latter part
of the week, and both houses will sit
next Sunday to continue the legislative
day OF Saturday, which expires at
noon March A,

Ohio River Frozen.

East Liverpool, Feb. 25.-The Ohio
river is gorged at this place. and is
closed from point below Wellsville
to near Industry, ten miles north of this
city. This is the first time the river has
been frozen over at this place for three
years. and every precaution has been
taken to save the crafts moored about
the several wharves in case of break
up In the Ice, which is likely to occur
at any time as soon as the weather
moderates. The last time the river was
frozen over here the Ice was SO thick
that teams could cross on It.

dedicatory sermon brief praise SER
vice was held in which the congrega-
tion took part. This lasted the great
er part of an hour and about o'clock,
Rev. G. B. Smith, presiding elder of the
Canton district, opened his sermon, in
which he consecrated the new house
to the service Of the Lord. The dis
course of Mr.. Smith was scholarly and
forceful. He took occasion to compli-
ment the congregation upon it's zeal in
organizing, and it's effectual efforts in
thus early securing a beautiful edfice
in which to worship God. He express
cd the hope that the establishment of
this church would be as the planting
of splendid tree which would flourish
and bear an abundance of fruit.
A postlude from the choir, made up
of local singers, concluded the exer-
cises of the afternoon.
EVENING SERVICE.
a song service led by the talented
pastor of the new church, Rev. Ralph
T. Coursey, preluded the revival SER
vice, which concluded the program of
the day. Evangelist Fl. G.. Scudday,
of Cincinnati was to have been present
To take charge of this portion of the
service, but for some reason failed to
appear. Rev. Coursey, assisted by Rev.
Alfred Smith, of Dover, Delaware, took
the matter in charge with the result
that much religious enthusiasm was
manifested.
II was rather unfortunate that scv-
eral persons whose names appeared
on the program did not arrive in the
city. As a consequence, radical
changes in the arrangement of the SER
vices were made necessary. Rev. AL
fred Smith, of Dover, was to have deliv-
cred the dedicatory sermon, but Rev.
G. b. Smith, who was to occupy the pull
pit at the morning service did not reach
Sebring in time. and the former was
Obliged to take his place. Rev. G.. b.
Smith arrived on noon train and took
charge of the afternoon session. Ar
rangments had been made with Rev.
and Mrs. M. j. Harris, the famous
evangelistic singers of Chicago, to furn-
ish the music during the day, but in this
respect tho congregation was disap-
pointed. 1t then devolved upon the To-
cal singers to contribute all of the mus
ical numbers. which they did in a very
creditable manner.
SEBRING'S FIRST CHURCH.
The first church in Sebring is
handsome brick structure with
stone trimmings and an imposing,
though not lofty, tower. The church
and neat parsonage on the adjoining

Albert Jordon, today engaged au at

tune left by Hermit James Jordon, of
Kansas City, who died suddenly this
week, and was thought to be without

OTHER DENOMINATIONS.

Although this is the pioneer church Of
Sebring other denominations are active
ly at work planning for edlfices equally
as beautiful. February 22nd at Sebring
occurred meeting of the Mahoning
Presbytery at which a petition from
local Presbyterians for a church build
ing was favorably considered and it
is probable that building operations
will be begun in short time.
When the fact is taken into considera-
tion that the city of Sebring is, itself
not year old the activity of it's citi-
zens in providing places of worship
is truly remarkable and is certainly in
dicative of the early existence of a
high order of Christian sentiment and
progress.

be adJudicated.
A rumor which persistently makes
the rounds in Washington is that Col
onel John Hay will not retain the state
portfolio long after the 4th of March
and every time 1t makes its appearance
1t Is connected with story concerning
the condition of the secretary's health.
IL Is no secret that Mr.. Hay Is not in
the best of health, nor has he been for
six months. However, 1t is impossible
to corroborate the resignation story.
Two members of the cabinet who were
asked about it today professed ignor-
ance of any intention on the part of the
secretary to retire, although they ad-
mitted that he might have such an
idea in mind.
Another cabinet change rumor tonight
is that Il. A. Hitchcock, of st. Louis,
will retire as secretary of the interior
at the beginning of the new administra-
ton, and that Ex-Governor William r.
Merriam, of Minnesota, now director of
the census, will succeed him. Messrs.
Hitchcock and Merriam were at the
white house this evening.
President Mckinley informed two
senators that called on him today that
he would not call an extra session If
congress would meet the Cuban issue
in proper manner by the 4th of March,
and tonight more hope than ever is
expressed that the necessity will not
arise.
The members of the subcommittee
of the Cuban relations committee of the
senate did not observe the Sabbath to-
day, but continued to work on the
problem of formulating provision
which would answer all requirements.
Within a day or two they think they
will succeed in drawing up satisfac-
tory document setting forth the future
relations between the new republic and
the United States, which will be attach
ed as rider to the army appropriation

bill now pending in the senate. There
is some speculation as to the opposition
OF Senator James X. Jones, one of the
Democratic leaders, on the question, but
1t Is believed that he will not be willing
to force an extra session by assuming
an attitude of opposition to the propo-
sition that the United States should ex-
ercise restraining influence over the
island.
