a story about the senate.
Z heard this story in Washing

have every reason to believe it is

A senator hurried into the

and said to a page;
Young man, did you find $40
bill on my desk last evening? I
wrote letter, intending to inclose
the bill, but somehow I failed to
do so, and left it behind on the
blotter.'
YES, senator, said the page,
taking out his wallet. I did find
that bill, and here it is. And its
a lucky thing for you, sir, that
none of the other senators happen

sKEPTICAL ABOUT TELEGRAPH
Morse's Great Invention fingered for
Years Before Capitalists Would
Undertake It.

The Morse telegraph invention
fingered for years in the hands of
its starving inventor because cap
italists were indifferent or incapa-
bic of approaching its merits.
It was several years before Con-
gress voted an appropriation to
allow its inventor to make a prac-
teal test of it, and burlesque bills
were offered, to provide means for
communicating with the Man in
the Moon, and for talking
machine between New York and
New Orleans, to aid experiments
in mesmerism, and bring about
the millennium.
He's a very good but shiftless
painter, if he would only stick to
his lob, :" some one said of Morse.
The idea of telling by a little
streak of lightning what a body is
saying at the other end ola wire!'
His instrument, it was said,
was all very well as mantel or
nament, or for a mistress to call
her maid. but the wires couldn't
cross rivers, oceans, and deserts.
Even after the line was up be-
tween Washington and Baltimore,
and Silas Wright sent adespatch to
the Democratic convention at Balti-
more, declining its nomination of
him to the vice presidency, it was
not accepted as true until COM
mittee went to Washington and
returned with the confirmation of
the report.
There was similar, though less,
objection offered to the overland
telegraph. Senator Benton declar-
ed that it would be impossible to
operate it, because the Digger In
dams would cut the wires, to
make hooks for digging up the
roots and beetles on which they
lived.

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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition CT the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inAam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, 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 condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

result of the very strenuous efforts
which some of our local capitalists
are putting forth. 1t is to be hop
cd at least that it may be located

miles of this place-which event
would doubtless surprise some of
our citizens who have been rather
pessimistically inclined to believe
that Lonsboro had the longest pole

Iy get the persimmon. In any

Brownsville will have displayed
several hundred dollars worth of
enterprise, which is something

owing to lack of space, he welded
his pencil at the end of syndicate

Cameron Zanora, janitor at DR..
Wilcox Bldg, 1907 ,Iturbide ST.,

troubled with backache and other
symptoms of kidney ailment for
several years. Whenever I caught
cold or did little extra work the
symptoms appeared at their worst.
The pain in my back would get so
bad sometimes that I could not
stoop over to save my life and the
secretions from the kidneys were
scanty and painful. One box of
Doan's Kidney Pills cured this
difficulty and it is now some time
since my back has given me any
annoyance. I can certainly re-
commend this remedy to any per-
son similarly afflicted"
