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 constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an inhamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eastacian Tube. When this tube is inhamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's 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.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

SIOUX FALLS. s. D., July 14-(special.)
The local union printers, who went out on
a strike last fall, and who have since been
aggressively carrying on a night for closed
printing establishments in Sioux Falls, have
added a bicycle corps TO the forces. In a
period OF a few days the strikers induced
nine nonunion printers to cease work in
two local printing establishments which re-
fuse to accede to the demands OF the strik-
ers. In self protection the proprietors Of
the two establishments supplied the re-
mainder OF their force with bicycles so
they could escape the pickets who during
working hours patrol the streets in front
Of the institutions. But this step Is proving
OF no avail. as the union pickets have now
provided themselves with bicycles, thus
adding another chapter to the printers
strike. which is one Of the most aggressive
Of its kind In the country.

CONVICT HIDES, IN BAG OF RAGS
Novel Method I'm Attempt 40 Escape
from Penitentiary Almost
Proves Fatal.

SIOUX FALLS, Z S. D., July 4.-(special
Telegram. Fired Barton, a bank robber
who is serving a term of fourteen years
and six months in the Sioux Falls peniten-
tiary, late this afternoon made a daring
attempt to escape and as a result had a
remarkable experience which nearly cost
him his life. He concealed himself In one
OF a number of bales of old rags which
were being shipped from the penitentiary
and was conveyed to the Illinois Central
freight depot. Had it not been for the
fact that each bale was weighed when a
load arrived he might have succeeded in
making his escape. However, when the
bale In which he was concealed was
weighed 1t was noticed that the bale
weighed over 100 pounds more than the
other bales and an investigation was made
and Barton found hidden in the bale, With
out being released from his uncomfortable
position he was taken back to the peniten-
tiary. When the rags were withdrawn
from about him he was found to be nearly
all In, being nearly dead from suffocation
and the severe jolting and tumbling to
which he had been subjected when the
bale was handled by the men in charge
of II.
Barton, with three comrades, Jack
Wilson, Paddy" Carroll and John Burns
was convicted last January In the state
circuit court OF Bonhomme county Of the
robbery OF the bank of Springfield al
Springfield, that county, on the morning OF
October l last. The arrest of Barton and
Burns was due to the vigilance of Chief
OF Police Hirbes of Aberdeen. who traced
them TO Sioux City, where they were placed
under arrest. They refused to return to
South Dakota without the formality of q
! requisiton. This was secured by Sheriff
Garner OF Bonhomme county Immediately
before last Thanksgiving When arrested
the two prisoners had in their possession
about Sl25 in silver coin, which at theli
