Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining Of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be Destroy
ed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Care of Straw Mating.

Never use soap in washing mat
ting, because the alkali in it will
eventually become yellow and de-
stroy the fiber, says the Brooklyn
Times. The most effective mode OF
washing a mating is to use luke
warm water, adding salt in the pro-
portion of a handful to a bucket of
water. The floor should be dried
thoroughly.

A HARD STRUGGLE.
Many a Sistersville Citizen Finds
the Struggle Hard.

With a back constantly aching,
With distressing urinary disor-
ders,
Daily existence is but a strug-
gle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure
you.
Mrs. j. Brown, wife of j.
Borwn, night Waterman in the
enamel works, living at 1902
Third street, Moundsville, w. Va,
says: Kindly allow me to bear
testimony to the general excel
lence of Doan's Kidney Pills.
They performed wonders for me.
Procuring a box and taking it as
directed the treatment stopped an
attack of dull aching in the small
of my back, only a successor of
many similar predecessors. Some
times the attacks were very Sc
we're, especially after the contrac-
ton Of a cold or if was required
to bring any extra exertion on the
muscles of my back. I used sew
eral remedies and wore plasters
before l tried Doan's Kidney Pills
but they turned out to be only
makeshifts. I noticed the direct
effect of Doan's Kidney Pills
upon my kidneys after a dose or
two and when I had completed the
box my back was stronger and
better than it had been for some
time. and was absolutely free from
pain.

it's being the best, as it will cure

Representative Campbell of Kansas
has posted President Roosevelt on the
fact that the Standard Oil company is
preparing to resist the attempt of the
government to uncover what is repre-
hensible in the trusts action in at.
tempting to squeeze out competition
in the Sunnower state. For the pres
ident to he forwarned is for him to
be forearmed and when the clash

Give Your Stomach a Rest.

Your food must be properly digest
ed and assimilated to be of any value
to you. If your stomach is weak or
diseased take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It digests what you eat and gives the
stomach rest, enabling 1t to recu-
perate, take on new life and grow
strong again. Kodol cures sour stom.
ach, gas bloating, heart palpitation
and all digestive disorders. L. A. So
per, OF Little Rock. KY, writes US:
I'VE feel that Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
deserves all the commendation that
can be given 1t, as 1t saved the life
Of our little girl when she was three
years old. She is now six and we
have kept 1t for her constantly, but of
course she only takes 1t now when
anything disagrees with her." Sold

Kansas is now In the oil business
and the worst the people OF the coun-
try can hope for II is that it will de
velop an industry that will make that
of John ID. Rockefeller. Esq, an in,
fant In comparison. The people of
Nebraska would little rather buy H.
Illuminating fluid of Kansas than of
any corporation on earth and in return
would like to sell Kansas some of the
things that 1t has to peddle in compc.
tition with the trusts. Perhaps the
most serious problem now confront
ing the Kansas industry is to convince
the railroads that are largely con
trolled by Rockefeller and his CO.
workers, that they must give the Kan.
sas oils the same rights and rates and
privileges that are accorded the Stan
dard people. In the meanwhile Kan
sas will be compelled to meet the price
that the Standard people may name
in that state unless the national gov
ernment is capable of compelling the
Standard company TO sell there as
elsewhere. 1t may be expected that
Rockefeller will not easily give mp
the great snap that he has b zen en-
joying all these years and will give
the Kansas proposition the fight Of
his life. A state should be able to
win against corporation, but that
remains to be proven, particularly
when the national government has
been more or less subject to the same

The superintendent of schools of
Nemaha county proposes to organize
boys experiment clubs in all the
schools of the county, or as many of
them as indicate an interest in the
movement. The members of the clubs
will plant grains, vegetables and
grasses, study seed selection and in
other ways acquire through practical
effort the knowledge that will benefit
them in after life as farmers or gar
deners. Not only is it hoped to in
terest the boys in the farm and gar
den through absorbing nature studies,
but to teach them how to secure re-
suits after their interest has been
aroused. This is a practical age and
the idea of teaching the boys and
girls something that is certain to
prove useful to them in after life is
one of is best results. The building
up of the schools into a system of
practical education is, it is believed,
only in it infancy, and it is considered
by advanced educators of high rank
that the schools of the future will be
in wonderful contrast to schools of the
present day. In everyday life the av-
erage pupil is inclined to forget what
he had learned at school, though it is
of undoubted value to those who re-
quire 1t in their business. The object
should be, however, TO so instruct the
pupils that every one of them would

government. The United States, az

GERS traced them to st. Petersburg

taken that other officers and members
of the crew do not break faith with a

ing watched closely to prevent their

There are said to be numerous in
quiries from people of the east re-
garding the desirability of Nebraska
as a place that is longed for by pros
pective immigrants, and doubtless
there will be string of them headed
in this direction as soon as the sea
son fairly opens. The best proof of
the pudding is the eating thereof, and
those who are looking Nebraskaward
with the thought Of building homes
and gathering in a share of wealth
will find it profitable to get in line at
the earliest opportunity. Nebraska
has large undeveloped resources that
will bring wealth and honor to people
who will apply themselves assiduous-
ly to the problem and it is desirous
that as many as possible should come
and assist in the profitable work.

Car Nicholas is not to be permitted
to attend the funeral of his murdered
uncle, Grand Duke Sergius, which is
an indication OF the state of mind into
which the imperial family has been
thrown by the tragedy. It is an indi-
cation, likewise, that there is an in
fuence in Russia more powerful than
the caar or the imperial family. A
power that can prevent the ruler of all
the Russias from attending the funeral
of relative is certainly one that
needs reckoning with. Either the EN-
peror should rule, or should give way
to government that is able to do that
which he cannot.

Illinois is the very latest to join
Kansas in an attempt to force the
Standard Oil monopoly to either meet
competition in a legitimate manner
or go out of business. Each individ-
ual state of the union, as well as the
general government, appears to think
that the time has arrived for taking
the underpinning away from the Stan
dard people and forcing them to stand
on their merits. The prospects now
are that every state with the possible
exception of New Jersey, will soon be
in the fight against the trusts and
when the action does becomethis un-
animous it is believed that the
trusts will have the most strenuous
battle ever on their calendar. While
the forces are lining up to attack the
octopus it is to be expected that it
will get itself in the best possible
fighting trim and as the battle means
life or death to it there will probably
be no expense spared at securing the
best available legal talent and such
other support as will be valuable in
helping to win. While opponents of
the trusts may be worsted in this con-
tlict they may with sufficient determi-
nation, win the next time.

Nebraska farmers are the most pros
porous people on earth, as a class.
They had very fair supply of dollar
wheat from their acres and now the
price of corn has secured a hold on
the elevator and is going up toward
the fifth story, with the magnificent
crop of last season to dispose of at
prices ranging from 80 to 35 cents a
bushel. The crop in the state Is said
to have been 50,000,000 bushels in ex-
cess of last year, which at 80 cents a
bushel, means that the Nebraska farm
er has added $15.O00,O0O to the wealth
of the state in his increased corn
crop alone. With the instruction that
has been given this year in the selec.
tion of seed corn further increase
in revenue is in anticipation and the
farmers of Nebraska with their COM
paratively cheap lands are in prospect
of heading along toward fortunes at a
rate of speed to astonish the eastern
who have beeen ac-
quiring their wealth through the say.

The reports of atrocities committed

The assassination of Grand Duke

augurate reign of terror among the
nobility Of that country and but for

keep from viey in the largest degree
possible. During the past year half
a dozen notable personages of Russia
have been slain as was Grand Duke
Sergius and all the precautions and
arrangements for safety have proven
unavailing. Before and following the
demonstrations of the working men
these murders have taken place and
