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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rum bling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the res ult, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the.mucous surfaces.

o'clock this evening.
The report was debated by Foraker,
Bailey, Patterson, Money, Dubois,
Morgan, Stone, McCumber and others
Dubois announced his intention to
vote against the acceptance of the re-
port, because of the omission OF the
anti-polygamy provision inserted by
the senate, and in doing go he took &C.
casion to review his own political ex-
perience in dealing with the Mormons,
saying that he knew his stand on the
question would result in his enforced
retirement from the senate. The SEN
ate also listened during the day to an

Washington, June 12.-By vote of
81 to the senate today decided to con-
slider the bill extending from % to 36
hours the time that livestock may be
kept in cars without unloading. The
passage of the bill was advocated by
Warren, who said that under it's terms
the time can only be extended on the
written application of the owners of the
stock, and that often unloading is
more harmful to the stock than to ex-
tend for few hours the time of their
confinement.
After lengthy discussion the bill
was passed.
Washington, June 12.-With very
large proportion of the members pres
ent, due to the activity of the Republi-
can and Democratic whips, the house
today passed a rule sending the railroad
rate bill back TO conference as asked
for by the senate, without even an eA-
preston of its wishes as to any of the
amendments. The rule was debated
for 40 minutes. The leaders partici.
pated in the discussion, the Democrats
taking the position that the time was
opportune to concur in the sleeping car
amendment and instruct the ocnfereet
tas to the anti-pass amendment. AL
though the Democrats were aided by
eight Republicans, they could not com
mand votes enough to defeat the rule
which was adopted, 184 to SO.

Washington, June ID. - When the
senate took up the Kittredge sea level
canal bill today, Senator Teller spoke
in support of that plan. He argued
that as this government had practically
prohibited the French government, and
later had declined to allow private cor
porations to embark in the canal enter
prise, the United States can not afford
to hesitate on account of the cost in
money or time The fact that sea
level canal would cost more than a
lock canal should not deter this country
from giving to the world the best pos
sible waterway between the oceans,
which must necessarily be on the tide
level. He expressed the opinion that il
a sea level canal could be built for the
same price as lock canal, all the en-
giners would favor it as the best possi-
BILE canal. Hence he conteDded that in
standing for lock canal Chief Engi-
neer Stevens diseredits himself as an
engineer.
