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 infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entire
" closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are 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 (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Cassatt cut down the w. U. Telegraph
poles and piled the wires in the utmost
confusion along the railroad line. This
was an insult which they have never
forgiven, and they, it is said, may yet
drive him from his position of Presi-
dent Of the greatest railroad in the
world But the insatiate longing of
these gentlemen did not cease there.
They allied with them on the propo-
sition Of absorbing the Steel Trust,

The safe OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad at Buchanan was blown open
Saturday night by thieves. The charge
of dynamite was SO heavy that not only
were the doors blown off, but an entire
side of the depot building was demol-
ished. The thieves escaped with few
dollars found in the safe. Two negroes
home saw them and fired
several shots, but without effect.

Ex-senator NJ. G. Butler of South
Carolina, in a recent letter to the
Louisville Courier Journal, defends
MIR. German s tariff policy, and in
doing so places Mr.. German IN the
most favorable light he has ever occu-
pied with reference to that question.
1t awaits to be seen who will defend
his policy in 1896 after the Chicago
convention. Gen. Butler is tarred
with the same stick, and after he was
appointed to a generalship by Mr.. Nc
Kinley during the Spanish war, 1t is
not very certain that his Democracy
did not altogether ooze out. The best
thing in his letter is his dash at Cleve-
land, when he says: Il have never

suficiensy behind which be fortified

UNDER A TRUCE FLAG
An Interesting Incident of a Civil

A Meeting I'm Front Of vicksburg Be

Mntts--pInyinK q Tragedy
for the Federal Army.

Probably no Official OF the confederate
government. during its brief existence,
rendered more kindly services to federal
prisoners of war confined in southern
prisons, than Col. Watts, the confederate
assistant commander OF exchange.
While the colonel exercised no control
over the management of the prisons by
virtue OF bis Office, his influence was
nevertheless exerted on the humane
side OF all questions OF prison admins
tration in which his voice could be heard.
But his kindly Offices for the unfortunate
prisoners We're not confined 10 efforts
to soften prison regulations, but ex-
tended to acts of courtesy and kindness
to individual prisons.
However. Col. Watts was not the only
southern man to extend courtesies and
show acts of kindness to federal prison.
ers There were instances, doubtless, of
brutal treatment of union soldiers, as
at Andersonville, and possibly else
where, but there were many acts of
kindness shown for which unfortunately
there Is scant record. The recollection
of one such instance is wildly impressed
upon the mind of the writer. At time
when several hundred federal soldiers
were confined at Meridian Miss. a
couple of planters came one day to the
prison and asked permission to speak
to any masons who might be among
them About 20 prisoners came forward
and introduced themselves as members

dinner.

Some brief responses were made. after
which the unique occasion came TO an
end, and the soldiers marched back to
their prison.
But to return to Col. Watts
A flag of truce went out one day from
the federal lines in front Of vlcksburg
to meet flag from the confederate
side. Gen. Sherman and couple OF staff
officers accompanied the federal flag, and
Col. Watts and an artillery officer met
them under the confederate flag. The

greeted him warmly. The public bush
