nsntness 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
bv an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when il is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can he 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 infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We viii give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

WEST VIRGINIA STRIKE OFF.
On MitchelPs Advice. Miners Return to
Work on Old Terms

Huntington. w. Va.-The coal strike
In West Virginia. which has been in
progress since June g. is ut an end
At mass meeting of miners from
all the coal fields along the Norfolk
and Western Railroad II was almost
unanimously agreed to end the strike.
provided the operators will take back
all the old miners, and the latter have
signified their intention of doing this.
The miners agreed to return to work.
1t is reported that President John
Mitchell, Of the United Mine Workers.
advised the strikers to return to work.
rs he realizes that winter is near Mt
hand and the miners in this field could
not hold out much longer. rs almost
every one is dependent upon the union

me strikers in the New River and
hanawha fields will soon follow the
action of the strikers on the Norfolk

Spiritualistic leanings of the late
Ferdinand j. Dreer.

been bit foolish an behaved In ban

enough to have himself cr-remated."
