peafness Cannot be ured

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by aLinfamed condition of the mu-
cOus lining of the E~ustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, 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 con.
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed f%oreveri
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

CONGRESS OF RELIGIONS.
1t Is Planned to Have Representa-
tives of All Religions at Chi
cnEO in 1904.

Chicago, June SO.-A gathering Of
representative of the many religions
and creeds of the world, which will
rival the congress Of religions of the
Worlds fair, is planned for the
Olympian games in 1904, by Bishop
Fallows, chairman of the committee
on ethical and religious organiza-
tions. The religious feature of the
games will be organized on the
same broad lines as the games
themselves have been planned. Ev-
cry country that is invited to send
its athletic representatives will be
urged to have its religions represent
ed as well. Following the idea that
all games of endurance and skill had
their origin in religious worship in
ancient times, this committee will en-
deavor to show that the connection
has not been lost in later years. 1t
is held that the temperance and self
denial eXacted of candidates for mod
ern sports of all kinds is closely al
lied to the principles of self-control
which are taught as part of every
creed in civilized lands and that ath-
letics and religion work together to-
wards forming a race of perfect hui
man beings.

a Man Dies Two Hours Before

Eau Claire, Wis, June 3O.-Thomas
Frawley, widely known as a lawyer

wished to be brought home from
Medford, where he had been taken
suddenly ill, in the hope that
second special train bringing his wife
to this city from st. Paul might ar
rive here in time for him to see her
before his death. He was perfectly
conscious to the last, giving direc-
tions about his business and personal
matters quietly and coolly, but death
claimed him more than two hours
before the train with his invalid wife

SIX MEN MISSING.
A Steam Barge Sunk in a Terrible
storm on Lake Erie Sunday
Morning.

Sanduslly, o., June 3O.-It is feared
that at least six lives were lost in
the terrible storm which ragged on
Lake Erie Saturday night and Sunday
morning. Word was received here
Sunday night to the effect that the
steam barge George Dunbar went
down in the storm early Sunday
morning, ten miles east of Kelley's
island. The barge carried a crew of
ten men, and six of the crew are still
unaccounted for. The captain, John
Little, of Port Huron, two women
and a sailor arrived at Kelley's ISL
and in yawl some time early Sun
day morning. When they reached
shoal water near Kelley's island the
yawl capsized and the occupants
were thrown into the water. The
heavy seas washed them ashore and
the people who were watching on
shore took them in charge. So far as
is known the four who were saved
are the only survivors of the crew of

In Denver the storm damage is esti-
mated at $4,000. Roads are almost
impossible in eastern Nebraska,
where rain has been falling continu-
ously for four days.
A severe storm also struck south

Large Addition To the Ground Space
For the st. Louis worlds Fair
other Items OF Interest.

st. Louis, June 3O.-The Worlds
fair boundaries have been extended
to include 400 acres additional land
directly west Of Forest park. This
addition gives the Worlds fair
grounds the form of a parallelogram
one mile wide and two miles long,
containing over 1900 acres. The area
is twice that Of any former exposi-
tion. Upon the new ground viii be
an artificial lake to serve the pur-
poses of landscape decoration, water
supply for fire protection, and place
for the life-saving exhibitions by a
trained crew from the United States
sea-coast life-saving service. The
lake will have capacity Of 100000
gallons. The buildings to be placed
upon this additional ground are the
Agriculture building, covering TWEEN
ty acres, Horticulture building, Gov
ering seven acres, live stock pavilions,
covering twenty-five acres, the nu-
merous amusement concessions,
some of the foreign buildings and
special buildings for various pur-
poses.
The cabled announcement from
Japan that the ministerial cabinet
would recommend to parliament the
expenditure of 2,5OO,OOO yen ($122O,-
OOO) for Japan's exhibit at the
Worlds fair insures a magnificent
display of the wonders of japanese
manufacture at foreign exposition.
The system for the protection of
Worlds fair buildings against fire,
with the new reservoir, on high
ground, will have two sources of sup
ply. The fire system is distinct from
the water service for general pur-
poses. Nine pumps with a capacity
OF 1,S00 gallons a minute will main
tain pressure of $50 pounds to the
square inch. Throughout the expo
sition grounds in the vicinity of
buildings the fire service lines will be
tapped by plugs at intervals of $50
feet, so feet from the building line.
There will be stand-pipes in all build
ings, $50 feet apart, from which in
stant service can be secured. Much
of this system is ready for present
use, receiving water from the city
mains. There is a supply of hose for
every fire-plug, besides engines and
reserve hose. The water mains are
IL to 30 inches in diamter. No exposi-
tion has ever had such complete
equipment for fighting fire.

list Of manufactured products will
also be extensive, and the recent dis
covery Of stone along the line Of the
Gulf & Ship Island road promises an
exhibit of rare interest. The horti-
culturists of the State are also much
interested in the exposition and
promise an exhibit of rare interest.
The horticulturists Of the State are
also much interested in the exposi-
ton and promise large and varied
exhibit. The industrial schools of
Mississippi are considering the mat
ter of making a display, and the A.

showing from its textile department,
recently established, and which is
accomplishing magnificent work.
