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 inf1amed condition of the mu-
c0us lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have 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 forever
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by Catarrh)

The Augusta correspondent of The
Boston Sunday Herald has some inter
esting comments on the political situa-
ton in Maine. He regards Mr.. Manley
as out Of the running himself, and says
that two of the other candidates are
only in the field "to help Mr.. Manley,
if possible, and if not, to assist in de-
feating Mr.. Cobb" This correspondent
dissents from the view that if Mr.. Cobb
cannot be nominated on the first ballot
he will not win; and says:
1t is we'll known that some of the
support of Mr.. Manley, when it is found
that he cannot be nominated, will be
transferred to Mr.. Cobb. 1t has been
given out lately that York and Cumber-
land counties are solid in support of
Col. Prescott. This is not true York
county may be solidly behind the gen
tleman from Biddeford, but there are
Cobb men in Cumberland county, who
will see that he has delegates from
some of their towns. The better opin-
ion of we'll informed politicians at the
present time is that Mr.. Cobb will
eventually win. He is cultured, fear
less, honest man, with no blemishes
upon either his public or his private
record, and the longer he has been be-
fore his party as candidate the strong
er he has become,

behind it is that fat is the

Railroad rumors come thick and fast
nowadays. A Maine Central civil en-
gIneer was in Belfast for day or two
last week, and this was assumed to
mean that something was to be done
on the projected shore line to Rockland.
We are inclined to think, however, that
his mission had to do with the terminal
facilities here.
Until recently many OF our citizens
have been in frequent receipt of circu-
lars from distilling firms offering to
send whiskey in jugs or bottles on very
liberal terms. These seem now to have
stopped coming, and in their stead we
have circulars offering bonds, ETC., for
investment. AS our people do not
take up the whiskey offers it may have
been inferred that they would have
money to invest.

Hear the sledges with the bells,
Silver bells,
What a world of merrment their melody
loretels
low they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night.
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With cry staline delight;
Keeping time, time. time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the naturalization that so musically
wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells,
From the juggling and tinklng of the bells.

FIRST ONE
Fiendish Murder Committed
 at Fairbanks

A Dawson dispatch Of November 5, says:
 "Through the finding of the remains of Jacob Jackson in the ashes of his burned cabin near Fairbanks the first murder in the Panama camp and one of the most feudish that has ever been perpetrated in the Alaskan country has been unearthed. News of the crime has just been received here.
 "From the adyices received it would appear as if the partner of Jackson, whose name has not been ascertained, committed the act. He has diSap- peared. Jackson sUpposed 10 have had large amount of money an the motive was evidently that of robbery.
 "While the body was almost ere mated, the bones of the head show that a murder was committed. Itis evident that the murderer struck Jackson with an ax, as the skull is cut entirely through to the brain. From the posi- tion ln which the bones of the unfortu, nate man were found it would appear as if the murderer threw the dead body of the man in one corner of the cabin and then deliberately piled inHamabIe materials over it and set them atire. The cabin was burned to the ground. '

RumOi ell That Dr,ThOmpsOn
 Has Enough

Well supported rumOrs are in circu- lation that Dr. Alfred Thompson, the conservative candidate for parliament from the Yukon, will retire from the rIce and that his place on the pariia- mentarY ticket will be taken by the in- domitable Joe Clarke. It is said that iS the emergency which caused the tel. sgram to be sent out from the interior calling Clarke back to the Yukon.
 Many ofthOse who are we'll scquaint- ed with the conditions in the Yukon believe the rumors to be we'll founded. It is pointed out that Dr. Thompson could ill afford tO be a member of par lament, because to attend the sessions at Ottawa he would be compelled to sacrifice a practice that is worth not less than SlO.OOO or sl5,OOO a year for 8 $500 salary. This is what caused him to hesitate long before accepting the nomination. Now that .he liberals have won the fedora election by more than two tO one, lt Is said 8 seat m the house has lost it's charms for Dr. ThOm- psOu. He is not willing to give up the opportunity to become wealthy for the doubtful pressure of making fight against a government so popular with the people as is that of Laurier.
 To is said that those things which would make Dr. Thompson retire from the race for parliament do not apply to Joe Clark. He has no sl5,OO0 a year practice to sacrifice and he would like aoIhiDs better than leading a fight against majority DO matter how for midabie that majority might be and no matter whether the majority were in the hogss of commons or the Yukon electorate.
