NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKEr.

New Orleans, oct 2l.-Spot cotton was quiet with prices unchanged. MiddIing 11Mc. sales were 24o bales on the spot and I.750 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet and steady two to four points below the close of Saturday. as a result of unfavorabie advices from Liver pool and good weather. Though lack of support and bear pressure. there was a nominal recession in values and several more points were lost and before noon December was twelve points below the closing of Saturday The forecast of showers in the western portion of the belt failed to prove a buiiish factor.
 Spot being dull a result of local tabor conditions. another depressing feature was added to the market and at the close, which was steady. the active months ranged from twelve to fourteen points below the close of Saturday. October high 11.02; low 10 98; hIda.

4 Weldon Firm Secures an Injunction.

A recent dispatch to the News and
Observer says: -.
Judge Pritchard, of the Federal
court, to-day issued a sweeping In
junction restraining the State COM
mission from winding up the affairs
of the State dispensary or paying out
any money belonging to it. The IN
junction ties up about $3.50, 600 which
the commission has on hand for the
payment of claims against the dis
pensary. The injunction was secured
by a wine firm of Weldon, N. g.,
which has small claim against the
State dispensary, who applied for q
writ of mandamus to compel the COM
mission, appointed by Governor An
sci, to wind up the affairs of the dis
pensary, to pay their claim. and II
the mean time the commission Is en-
joined from paying out any money or
other claims"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

ly local applications, us they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There il only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
intiImed you have rumbling sound
OF imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
TREY closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be dcs-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inilamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

That was a most horrible disaster
which recently occurred in Indiana,
when a village of 1000 people was
literally destroyed by the explosion
of a powder factory two miles from
the town. 1t is said that 40, 600 kegs
exploded, injuring practically 500 in
habitants and killing so people of
the town. The conclusion was felt
nearly 200 miles away. Buildings
were destroyed two miles away.
