Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications rs 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
condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a 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 condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an infla,ned condition OF
the mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Few persons outside the
Knights Of Pythias know Of
the birth of this order. Per-
haps many knights do not
know much about the earliest
history, except that the foun-
der was Justus Henry Rath-
bone, and that in 1864 the
ritual Of the order was first
read.
As the birthplace Of Pythi-
anism, a little frame school
house in Eagle Harbor, Mich,
is the mecca for all Pythians
that visit the famous copper
country. Pythianism has in
copperdom an historical sig
nifcance that it can have in
no other part of the country,
for the reason that in the
school house, now weather
beaten, racked by storm, and
prey to relic hunters, Rath-
bone taught the youngsters
their three RS in the early
sixties. For years the school
house was cared for. for the
sake of its association, but to-
day it is in despair.
Justus Henry Rathbone was
greatly impressed with the
fidelity and friendship Of Da-
mon and Pythias. He decided
to write the ritual of a secret
order to be named the Knights
of Pythias.
A lover of mankind, inspir-
ed to noble deeds by the story

ed on his ritual in spare nom
ents at Eagle Harbor. Only
one other person knew what
he was doing. This was his
roommate, who, by the way,
rather discouraged than en-
couraged the work. Rathbone
worked zealously, and wher
he had flushed his task he
had framed a ritual which is
said to be most beautiful.
Once founded, the order
has grown rapidly, and to-day
while one of the youngest o.
such orders, it is one of the
largest and most flourishing
The ritual was read Feb. IS,
1894, in Houghton, Mich. Ir
1868 the Supreme Lodge wa:
organized; in 1894 it was in
corporated. To-day through

There was no enthusiamsm over the

Bryan before the convention, as we'll
as at that memorable gathering, sunk
deep into the minds Of the rank and

plank, also, ranked in the breasts of
democrats who do not like bossism

SEEKING FOR PREoEDENTs.

The papers of the country are edi-
torially ransacking the records to find
a precedent for the tremendous sue
cess achieved by President Roosevelt
in the recent election. The upturn-
ing has resulted in some remarkable
showings.
Thus in 1920 James Monroe (of
Monroe doctrine fame) was elected
by the practically unanimous vote of

the electoral college, getting Isl OF
the votes of the electors, to l TOT
John Quincy Adams. AS matter OF
fact there was no opposition to James
Monroe for President and Daniel u.
Tompkins for President, but the
one vote was cast against so that
Monroe should not share with Wash
ington the honor of unanimous
election.
The vote was cast for Adams by
William Plumemr, an elector from
Pennsylvania, "who did not consider
that he was merely to perfunctorily
record the choice of his party, there
fore he exercised what he considered
his power and duty as an elector by
voting for Adams. He disapproved
f.Monroe's administration, and also
desired to draw attention to his
friend Adams, who was elected Presi-
dent at the next election.
Twenty years later, in 1910, Will
liam Henry Harrison ran for the Sec
ond time against Martin VanBuren,
who had beaten him four years be-
fore; the result of the election OF
1910 was that Harrison received 234
electoral votes to VanBuren's 60, or
almost four to one.
The campaign that eliminated the
whig party from American political
action was that of 1852, when Frank
lin Pierce received 254 of the 296
votes in the electoral college, Ieav-
ing Winfield Scott but AZ.
George B. Mcclellan was worse
beaten by Abraham Lincoln in 1864
than Greedy was by Grant eight years
later. Thus, in 1864 Lincoln had
212 votes of the electors, while Nc
Clellan had but 81. But in that
election there was no south solid, OIL
otherwise, the war of the rebellion be-
ing on.
In 1872, Ulysses S. Grant received
2S6 of the total 366 votes, leaving
but 80 to Horace Greeley; but Gree
