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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inhamed YOU
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever: nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness. caused by catarrh,

STORM CLOUDS.


Yes, it was rather unfortunate
for those Northern visitors who
reached us with the advent of
the bad weather of the last
week Of January. 1t wont
make them any happier if we as
sure them that it was most eXcep-
tional, being Of longer continuance
than we have had for "many
moons" If they read the papers
they will see that worse remained
behind; that the North has been
country Of snow storms, cold
weather and billiards.. But the
clouds have rolled by and the
glad sunshine will revive all our
dropping spirits, make the grass
grow and that beautiful forerun-
ner of spring, the trailing arbutus,
to burst its buds and watt it's per-
fume over our land.

James W. Tufts
Dies Suddenly.
..*.s$.
He Was Creator ard Owner
Of IOinehdpst.


Sad indeed was the news
that came to us on Monday
morning last, of the sudden
death of Mr.. Tufts, the gen.
ial owner of Pinehurst.
Mr.. Tufts, who was in his
usual health onSunday morn
ing, was taken shortly after
dinner with an attack of indi-
gestion, and while sitting in
his chair suddenly threw up
his hands and Immediately
passed away. The remains
we're sent to Boston, Mr.. Tufts
home, on Monday afternoon,
by special train.
The loss of Mr.. Tufts is a
great blow to this community
for he was one who made
friends with all with whom
he came in contact. It is too
soon to speculate on the flu
ture of beautiful Pinehurst.
Just now our thoughts are
with those of his family and
numerous friends, who will
SO deeply miss and mourn him.

The present campaign of the Democracy
In Pennsylvania presents a spectacle
unique in its effort TO oblitrate the evil
dence of the existence of that party and
the memory of Its misdeeds. They merely
scold and defame public officials, befoul
the reputation Of the state which shell

their own integrity, You have all heard
their cries OF agony evoked by the con-
sciousness that their fellow men We're so

lican state convention. If 1t is true, who
was the delegate? What was the amount
paid and who paid 1t? II will he remem-
bered that the same charge was made by
a distinguished and defeated candidate
for governor before the Democratic state
convention, which met at Altoona in 1888
and nominated Mr.. jerks.
1t Is false that Samuel w. Pennypacker
was my ''seIf-selected" candidate. There
were two men in Pennsylvania who were
absolutely hostile 10 the suggestion of
Judge Pennypackers name: one was
Judge Pennypacker the other was NJ. S.

broad-minded leaders of the opposition
would make a personal campaign upon
the ground that the great-grandfather of

THIs DOES not depend on

u recorded. 1t is clean, effic-
lent and creditable through
out. John scheuer. jr, was born in
South Scranton A years ago. received
an education in the public schools and
III Il business college and al 10 years en-
tered his fathers bakery to learn the
trade of baker. He has been a work.
ingman all his days and is thoroughly
in sympathy with those who earn their
livelihood by daily toll
In lSS, Mr.. Scheuer was elected to
represent the Eleventh ward in the Sc
lect council, and while a member of
that body he faithfully represented his
constituents. He compelled the Cen
trail Railroad Company of New Jersey
to file n bond for damages to property
on the Slocum Flats. caused by the en-
croachment of said company on the
l.ackawanna river and under the terms
of this bond thousands of dollars were
paid to the parties whose properties
We're damaged.
He has been director for years in
several local building and loan asso-
Citations on the South Side, (which have
done so much in building up that Sec
tion of the city. He was president OF
the South Side Board of Trade for three
years. and during his term of office the
Scranton Axle works We're established
in the Twentieth ward. This concern
now employs over three hundred men
and boys.
In 1898 he was elected to represent
the Second Legislative district at Har
risburg and performed his duties i'm n
painstaking and efficient manner. Not
withstanding the excitement over the
election of United States senator
he succeeded in having passed several
measures of benefit, not only to the
people of his district but of the county
at large. He presented and succeeded
in passing the Defective Affidavit
Bill which prevents citizen from
losing his vote through carelessness on
the part of election boards. He had
charge of in the house and succeeded
in passing the Election Contest Bill"
which has saved the county from ex-
pensive election contests since its pass
age by providing that the petitioners
must pay the costs in case they do
not prove their case. Contests have
been an. expensive luxury in Lacka-
wanna county. which has paid out over
100000 as expenses In such contests.
He passed bill providing for the re-
cording of maps of all tracts of land
laid out for sale. This enables the
purchaser of lot TO know exactly
where his lot is, and prevents the clos
ing OF streets or alleys after the plot
has been all sold, At this session he
also introduced and passed a bill for
the protection of driver boys and door
tenders In the mines. In the session of
1901 he passed the bill that released
James Cannon from Jail and which at
tracted so much attention throughout
the state.
