Dom Paul Kruger, old the
Boer leader, who died last week in
exile 10 Switzerland, was 70 years
old and one Of the noted men Of his
generation. Stephenus Johannes
Paulus Kruger, the last president
of the Boer republic, was one OF the
empire builders of South Africa and
the lifelong enemy of Cecil Rhodes.
For twenty-five years Kruger
thwarted the ambition of Cecil
Rhodes and delayed the march of
the British empire from Cape Colo
ny north toward the equator. He
lived long enough, says the Chicago
Tribune, to see the death of bis
greatest enemy and to witness, IN
lonely exile, the triumph of tie
greatest foe of his people. In his
life he was one of the worlds rug
ged, heroic figures. In his death
he was still world 6gure. pathetic
in bis loneliness, an exile by his
own choice.

Nothing But tieaIth.

The bulletin issued by the health
department yesterday showed that
for the last four weeks there have
been 1866 deaths in Chicago, a
weekly average OF 1872. There are
in round numbers 400 undertakers
and 5000 physicians. 1t is esti-
mated by experts that for every
death there are twenty cases OF
sickness. The arIthmetical con-
clusion follows that the undertak.
ers have not had a funeral each a
week during the last month, while
the doctors have averaged a little
over two patients each.-Chicagc

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 inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when II
is entirely closed Deafness is the
result. and unless the inflamm alton
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its 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) that cannot be cured

Peace negotiations in the packing
house strike are practically at a
standstill, owing to the inability of
the contending factions to arrive at
a basis of operation. The strikers
demand the restoration of all strik-
ers TO their old places, but the
packers refuse to turn off those
who are filling their places, but are
willing to make concessions asked
for and employ such of the old men
as they need. The Chicago plants
are operating in a small way.

an aspiring friend of every woman
with beauty woe. Her "Woma u

and Sunday issues of The Chicago

source of joyous helpfulness to wo-
mankind. Her instructions on com
plexion ills are interlarded here and
there with snappy little epigrams
as "cheerers. The weapons she
suggests to beauty seekers for the

methods-"factory" frizzes, rouge

She gives instructions on correct

healthy, wholesome woman. No
wonder she is popularity known to
many thousands of women.

Hon. Lewis McQuown, of Bowl
ing Green, has published in the
papers a complete and thoroughly
convincing reply to the recent
article published in Mcclure
Magazine for March on the convic-
tion of Caleb Powers. The article
was a defense of the assassin
written by a man named Adams.
Judge McQuown's reply was sent
to Mcclure, but he refused to allow
the libel on the State and people Of
Kentucky to be corrected, or to
publish the facts in regard to the
assassination OF Gov. Goebel by the
conspirators, of whom Powers and
Taylor were the leaders. The
article as it appears in the Courier
Journal is of great historical value.
No man in Kentucky is more ia.
miliar with the facts than Judge
McQuown, who was in Frankfort
during the "reign of Taylor" and
speaks from his own knowledge of
conditions leading up to the murder.
