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
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t 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
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an lnflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

CARD FROM DR..

A few days since your paper stated
that all the candidates for represen

Anti-Saloon League card.

and have not signed that card. | pre-
sumo that your reference was to me
though | am not sure, for / also pre-
sumo that if you are intending to fight
me you will do it in the open and call
me by name.
You are an officer in the State
League and the County League has
you for one of it's leaders. Your
League dominated the County Demo
cratic Executive Committee at it last
meeting.
The Burns resolution adopted by
that committee, at least implies that
the Democratic platform is the Demo
cratic attitude toward temperance;
and is not in keeping with your ideas
as to Best Efforts" to extend the
Adams law to the entire State.
l believe that the Democratic plat
form dies a guide for my best
effort for temperance, and do not
belle that an extension of the
Adams law to the entire State, uncon-
ditioned on any further expression
from any locality, is in keeping with
the ideas of the temperance people,
at large or within the Democratic
ranks.

tional Committeeman from Tennes-
see.
Time and again throughout his
speech Mr.. Bryan was interrupted
with cheers. The audience Numbered
approval when he made an earnest
and eloquent plea for the support of
the State Democratic ticket, declaring
that no friend of his would vote the
Republican ticket because the Demo
cratic State Convention had not in
dorsed his candidacy for the Presi-
dency. Since Mr. Bryon's frank and
emphatic declaration in behalf of Pat
terson and the ticket, those friends ~
of the great NebrasKan will have to
offer some other excuse for a failure
to support the ticket than the fact
that the convention did not indorse
Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. 5ryan's Appearance.
'In appearance Mr.. Bryan, since his
first visit to Nashville in 1896, the ten
years intervening being considered,
has aged. His head is much bader
now than it was then. He is heavier
man. But his eloquent voice has lost
none of its peculiar charm, his elo-
quence is just as persuasive now as
it was then. The charm of his per-
sonality is just as great as it was
away back in the days of free silver
men and gold bugs. No matter what
one may think or say of Mr.. Bryan as
a logician, none will deny that he i'm
presses all with his absolute SINGER
ity.
'In general the speech ofMr. Bryan
did not differ materially from his
speeches delivered at other points
since his return to America. The fea-
lures of the address from local
standpoint was the unqualified in
dorsement which he gave to the DEM
ocratic nominees. Mr.. Bryan spoke
about one and a half hours, devoting |
probably half his time to a discussion !

the tariff speech of Secretary Shaw at :
this place, declaring that although |
the Secretary had lived in an atmos-
phere of reform for several years that
not one germ of reform had ever pen
etrated his brain.
"Mr. Bryan explained somewhat in
detail his position on the railroad
question, the substance of his remarks
being in effect what he has recently
stated at other Southern points on
this subject. He gave Mr.. Roosevelt
credit for much that had been accom-
plished, but declared that all the good
that had been done had come as re-
suit of the Republicans following the
Democratic platform. He declared
that while Republicans principles and
ideas had not taken with the people,
although that party had been con-
tinuously in power for ten years, that
Democratic ideas were more popular
now than ever before.

EASTERN DECIDES
NOT TO DROP OUT
Football Players Will Remain in School
League Even With Weakened
Team.

At a meeting Of the football players
at the Eastern High School yesterday
afternoon ii was definitely decided that
the Eastern football team would not
drop from the High School League.
Nr. Wallace. faculty athletic advisor
of the school; Or. Small, principal of
Eastern. and "BU Foley physical in
structor in the high schools. were pres
cut and made short speeches
In the course of Mr.. Walace's talk
he stated that Mr. Kelly, faculty ath-
letic advisor of Central, had told him
that if Eastern would remain in the
league Central would put second team,
or a considerably weakened team
against Eastern in the championship
match between the two elGvens Cap
tain Farmer hastened 70 state that
Eastern asked no leniency from the
other teams by remaining in the league
and that unless the other schools put
their fun teams against Eastern, he
would rather see the team drop OUt OF
the running
All were in favor Of remaining I'm the
league except one member of the senior
class, whose attitude was the same as
that taken by Mr.. Field. He based his
objections on the grounds that the
present rules in regard to high school
they would tend TO break up athletics
In a small school like Eastern.
In addition 10 the loss Of Captain
Farmer. several of the most promising
allowed 10 play. number of them
are ruled out because they are taking
the business course.
An election will be held next Tuesday
for a new captain. II is more than
likely that Martin, candidate for half
back, VIII be chosen.
