UNIONISTS SAY AURORA
NEEDS LABEL CRUSADE

Aurora, ILL.,, Oct. 13-The discovery
was made by the delegates to the State
Federation of Labor yesterday that
Aurora needed organizing. The dele
gates were instructed to transform
themselves into labor missionaries dur
ing the convention and a mass meeting
was planned for the benefit of non
union workers.
Aurora's appalling condition was
discovered by accident There being
no business on hand at the afternoon
session the labor men INDUCED in
'horse play" on the lack of union bar
bers in this city
Until recently said Delegate Davis
of Aurora, every shop but one in the
city had union card Then the bar
bers got into a mixup and lost their
charter. There are few union men
left, but they keep their cards in their
pockets and say nothing about them"
Union Buttons are Scarce.
This brought the labor problem of
the year before the convention. 81 have
seen only two union buttons on the
Streets" said a delegate. The one
trade that seems well organized is that

Deafness Cannot be cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

THE FIRST UNIFORM.

For many week there came no
word from Paul Ladue. At the little
frame cottage near the lake a sad
eyed, submissive, broken man sat long
hours each day in worn old rocking
chair, apathetic, accomplishing, yet
looking wistfully into the faces of the
few who came to see him as though
imploring news Of his now doubly ban
ished boy.
In every way did the squire seek to
aid the needy household and, all unre-
buked now, Elinor went day after day
to see Ladue and the fragile woman,
his wife. who never left her room. In
one brief letter from st. Louis. Paul
