tanning that organizations complaints OF
discrimination on the part of railroads
that exact higher rates for transporting
cattle and hogs than for carrying live

west, northwest and southwest, includ-
ing Missouri river points and South ST.
Paul, MINI. The exchange made the
Complaint against the Chicago Great
Wes,ern and other railways engaged !.
this traffic. The commissieP holdss that
the discrimination is not justified in any
way, and subjects the live stock interests
to unreasonable prejudice and disadvan-
tage, giving to the traffic in the "prod-
ucts" OF live stock unreasonable prefer
ence. The commission reaifirms its
previous decision in the Chicago Board
of Trade case, and extends the principle
therein announced to the transportation

quest Of Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi,

told living soul why | should like a
caucus held, and do not intend now to

The request for the caucus was made
by Mr.. Wiliipms Immediately after the
adoption of the provision in the army
appropriation bill which is re-
garded as a direct slap at General
Miles. In some quarters there is a
strong belief that Mr.. Williams felt that
the democrats did not rally around him
loyalty when be demanded yea and nay
vote on this matter. The vote stood
2O2 yeas and so nays. OF the democrats
68 voted in the affirmative and 81 in the
negative. In has been suggested that
Mr.. Williams may offer to relinquish
his leadership, but this is not taken
seriously BY his closest friends.
1t is pointed out that the vote yesterday
emphasized, what has been evident for
some time, that there is lack Of cohesive
ness among democrats with regard to
policies.

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 con-
st!tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
in6amed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in6amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored 10 its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
