Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear. There
IL only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is eau
sed by an inhamed condition OF the mucus
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tnbe is inhamed you have II rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored TO It's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which IL nothing but
an innamed condition OF the mucous
services.
We Will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Fearless and independent.

The Chicago Record Herald is a
conspicuous example OF the success
with which the public rewards fearless
nonpartisanship In the columns OF the
great metropolitan daily paper. 1t is
an independent newspaper, In which
men and measures are invariably
viewed wholly from the standpoint OF
the public good, and not from that OF
the interests of any particular politi.
cal party. 1t Is the very reverse OF
neutral fearless and outspoken on
all the great questions OF the day,
but presenting Its editorial opinion
upon Independent judgment and en-
tirely regardless OF political afiilta'
lions. Partisanship Is barred "a
strictly from the news columns as
from the editorial page. All polisical
news is given without partisan color
ing, thus enabling the reader TO form
correct conclusions for himself. In
the ordinary partisan newspaper po-
litical news Is usually colored TO such
an extent as to make 1t difficult II not
impossible for the reader TO secure a
sound basis for intelligent Judgment.

PRIMARY SELF. GOVERNMENT.

II Is surprising how lightly some

yised for ascertaining and giving
force and effect to the will OF the
majority. They tell their readers to
vote for the primary election meas
IRE, and add that II 1t should prove
defective or objectionable 1t can be
easily amended or repealed II it is
such au easy matter to have an
objectionable law repealed, let them
wipe tho present vcXatious and inCon-
gruous caucus law Off the statute
books, before asking the voters OF the
state TO enact, through referendum, u
very imperfect aud complex primary
election law. In his speech In Min
eral Point, two years ago, Governor
LaFollette told his hearers that
wherever the primary system was
adopted II was never repealed. And
this adds objection to his PROPOSE
tior. Perhaps II Is very difficult to
secure It's repeal. Tie the voters up,
hand and foot, with all manner OF
restrictive provisions, and what can
we expect In the way OF remedial
legislation, either by way OF amend
ment or repeal. Vote against tho
proposed law. Most certainly vote
against it unless you are satisfied
that II Is nearly perfect measure.
Let IL once be enacted and It's repeal
may be found almost impossible.

The Stomach is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be resored to any sick
man or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot d.
gest enough food to feed the tissues
and revive the tired and run down
limbs and organs of the body. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure dlgests what you eat,
cleanses and strengthens the glands
and membranes OF the stomach and
cures indigestion, dyspepsia, and all
stomach troubles. Sold by Prideaux

SIDEWALKS AND STREETS.

Hon. Calvert Spensley, whose BUSH
ness has during the last several weeks
called him into every town In south
western Wisconsin, informs The Dem
ocrat that Mineral Point Is the only
town that affords the expensive luxury
OF laying board sidewalks. In every
other place city or village as the
case may be-cement for walks Is the
general rule. Mr.. Spensley has re-
Gently observed some excellent work
In road making. Az Richland Center,
where he WAS last week, good and
durable streets are being made. The
natural soil Is first graded, and then
successive layers OF properly crushed
stone laid on, and securely and evenly
compacted by means OF ~ very heavy
roller.
The general rule for the payment of
the expense OF these improvements Is
altogether different from that In
vogue In Mineral Point. The owners
of abutting property pay all the cost
of sidewalks and AT least Il part Of
permanent street making. This is
verified by the Dodgevllle, Lancaster,
Monroe, Platteville, Rchland Center
and other newspapers received at this
Office. The sidewalk ordinances which
they contain levy all the cost upon
the abutting property.
The Democrat hopes that the mayor
and common council OF Mineral Point
will speedily take this matter up, and
after changing the financial policy
as above Indicated, direct the con-
structon Of tirstclass sidewalks and
tirstclass streets. We are tired Of hav-
ing our agitation for better streets and
walks met with the chronic, and to
n large extent, groundless excuse that
''this Ia N hard town In which to keep
streets In repair" The truth Is, that
there has never been Il really first
class, enduring roadway made In the
town. Stones simply crushed and
thrown upon highway make only n
heap or litter of stones, and not
properly macadaml2ed street; and
the covering OF them with dirt, or
even with very fine screenings, to
make them pack" Ia an abomination
which should not be endured. The
roadbed must be properly graded, the
crushed stone laid ON and rolled down
in successive layers until the whole Is
hard and smooth, and practically
waterproof Let this be done, and the
objections to the road.making mater
ial which we have at hand will largely
disappear.
