To REPLACE MONTAGUE MEN.

The result of the primary election
has brought out several candidates to
displace the partisans of ,iovernor
Montague. Among these is DIR. q. N.
Newbill, formerly OF Baltimore, who
Swanson is expected to appoint as the
quarantine officer at the Norfolk sta
zion. Chairman W. W. Dey, the Mon
tague leader, will be depOsed from the
city Democratic commute, and his
place will be filled by j. Il. Deal.
The above Is clipped from the Balti-
more Sun of last Saturday. Coming
so soon after the election, it shows that
Senator Martin has begun pointing
out some victims. But Mr.. Swanson
will make grave mistake if be allows
himself to be hoodwinked into punish
ing Montague men to crafty Senator
Martin. This is all such conduct could
mean. That man supported Monta-
que was no Offense against Swanson,
and it is strange to hear be is to dis
place any of them for this reason. Mr..
Swanson should play no such politics,
he will need every Democrat no matter
whom he supported, and certainly he
will do no dirty work for Mr.. Martin
AS foretold Coy. Montague met his
AppOmattOX, that is he met AppOmat-
tox Joe and Hal, but be also met
ScOttsyille Tom.

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 inliamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining OF the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con
dltion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Probably the largest number of per-
sons ever assembled in Petersburg will
be in that city the last of October to
attend the reunion of Confederate vet
Grams, on which OCCASION the Battle of
the Crater will be fought over again
by the surviving veterans who partici-
pated in this memorable engagement.
Railroads south of Baltimore will
make very low rates for the occasion,
and from evidences thus far there will
be at least 25. 900 visitors in Petersburg
at that time. The various committed
are working for the success of the re-
union, which will eclipse even the
brilliant success of the reunion held
here few years ago. A 2. Hill Camp
will have charge of the arrangements.
