Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is In1amed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when It is entirely closed, deafness Is
the result. and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
iny will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out OF ten they arc caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

moment later, looking through the sit
ting room window, saw Columbia
leaning upon the gate idly conversing
with Mephisto
Good old Aunt Anne welcomed me
with that kindness which is SO de-
lightfully out of keeping with the Sc
verify of her aspect, and then I went
to find Uncle Stephen. who was in the
back yard, smiling at the closed doors
of big barn long unused except as a
place of storage for old furniture and
queer odds and ends.

me. "Do your"

bacco smoke in his barn, and he said
that he would be obliged If would go
and help him solve the mystery. He
is a pale, ethereal, timid man who
takes good care of his nerves.
We went into the barn by way of the

house, and there, to my surprise.
really smelled pipe smoke. 1t seemed
TO be drifting down from what had
once been the haymow. A ladder led
up to this region, and I was about to
ascend when wooden shutter in the
rear of the barn was suddenly opened
and a broad shaft of light struck
through the gloom above me.
l reached the top of the ladder Just
in time to see the face of a man who
was dropping out of the window. 1t
vanished instantly, but my glimpse of
1t sufficed for recognition. 1t was the
face of Asa Colby.
But how could the witless rascal be
there when had just seen him in front
of the house? 1t was puzzle indeed.
l crossed to the window as fast as I
could. amid the rubbish. and beheld
Asa running as If for his life across the
field. My surprise was very greatly in
creased by this spectacle. for Asa was
clothed in light sack suit of elegant
design. the trousers neatly creased and
he carried a good straw hat in his
hand. Even at sixty yards distance
the elegance of his raiment was unmis-
taxable.
Upon the floor near the window was
a slender cane with a silver head
examined 1t in the light and found the
letters sc. s." in monogram on the
metal
My discoveries were too portentous
to be disclosed to so nervous man as
Uncle Stephen. l threw the cane as
far as possible out of the window, clos
ed the shutter and descended to the
lower floor.

Iowa has had n history du ling the past
half decade that amounts almost to a
revolution. II Is estimated that Gb.000,-
600 pounds of butter are made, ana
consumed In the state annually, and
that the total production is 140.000,000
pounds. having an aggregate value OF
$2S,000,00 Twenty-six counties ship

One county, Woodbury., produced butter
to the value of $6.14S.916 In 1904 The
Iowa product has acquired splendid
reputation by It's excellence. Because
the state Is peculiarly adaptet- by cli-

In Iowa corn is King as nowhere
else. 1t Is the throne of that monarch;
his footstools are all about I'm adJoin-
ing states, for Iowa Is the heart OF the
corn belt, it's very hub. lowas pre-
eminence as a corn growing state Is
shown by the statistics OF the depart

credit Missouri with but 15L522.6d%
bushels, Nebraska with 260.942.Sab, ana
Kansas 134.600, 500. Iowa had 9,0b2,d6D
acres In corn last year, of which about
100000 acres were harvested. The
average yield for the state was about
80 bushels per acre, and the total yield
.323, S5S,330 bushels. which was 9S,S42.-
900 more than In 1893 making 1t the
largest crop since 1900. During the
past Is years but two yields IN excess
OF this were registered. viz: 345,000,000
bushels in 1900, and 33b.000,000 in 1901.
The 1904 output was 62.000,000 bushels

pared for this spectacle, because had
encountered several other remarkable
creatures on my way up from the
wharf, and, besides, I had seen this
same apparition twice before in that
town.
Three years ago Bentonville decided
TO revive the old advertisement OF "An
q .tiques and Horribles'' as a part Of its
Fourth Of July celebration. and a dra.-
matte performance was held for the
purpose OF raising a fund to buy
costumes. The proceeds. which We're
unexpectedly large, were invested with
q theatrical costumer in Boston, and
the general opinion was that he gave
good value for the money. Among the
garments which he sent was a Me-
phistophelian habit that had been de-
signed for some very tall and slender
man. 1t would not fit any of the Ben
tonville masqueraders who might
otherwise have been willing to wear it
and was eventually bestowed upon a
half witted youth named Asa Colby,
who was so delighted that he wanted
to wear it all the time.
In addition to the coarse black tights
and the cloak with scarlet lining,
there were a black wig with horns and
an appropriate mask considerably
battered now, OIL the occasion of it's
third appearance Still the costume
was serviceable, as We're most of the
others, and therefore it would have
been waste of good property to dis
continue the antique and horrible fea-
ture of the annual celebration
My old friend NIephisto was seated on

inches above the ground and could not

Mephisto was doubled up as If he had

matter? Sick?"
He did not answer my question oral
1y, and I was not surprised, for Asa
was a very exceptional fool, being OF

wagged his head in the way of mega
