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 inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when Ii is entirely closed, 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 infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

EVANS MAY BE PROMOTED
Proposed to Re-EstabIsh Grade of
Vice Admiral.

Washington, March 3.-In order to
show to Admiral Evans the apprecia-
ton of the American government and
In honor of his long and faithful serv-
ice it Is proposed to give to the ad-
miral vice admiral's commission.
The naval argument in support Of
the proposed establishment of the
grade of vice admiral is strongly rein
forced by comparison made at the
navy department between the British
home fleet engaged in the maneuvers
OF last fall, of which report has
just reached here, and the splendid
battleship fleet commanded by Rear
Admiral Evans.
The figures show that the British
fleet, composed of twenty-six battle
ships, fifteen armored cruisers, nine
protected cruisers and fifty-seven tor
peuo craft, was commanded by one
admiral, the vice admiral, seven rear
admirals and one commodore.
The American fleet, when it is fully
assembled in San Francisco harbor.
Will consist of nineteen battleships.
eight armored cruisers, three protect
ed cruisers and large nNnber of sup
ply ships, colliers and repair ships.
nine destroyers and five torpedo boats
commanded by only four rear adj
mirals.

Frank Fl. Culver, an associate Of Mr..
Leman, Little time was required by
the court to deny the motion, Judge
Ball having decided adversely a sim,
liar suit based on practically the same
grounds, which was brought recently
on behalf of Stuyvesant Fish and
other stockholders of the railroad.
The denial of the motion will oper-
ate to place the suit on the regular
trial calendar of the superior court
of Cook county, where it will not be
reached for several months. Attorney
Culver informed the court that all
questions are eliminated in this suit
except the right of a foreign corpora
tion to own and vote stock in an Hill
nois railroad corporation. This is the
point upon which the greatest insist
ence was placed by Mr.. Leman when
he argued the former suit as attorney
for Mr.. Fish. Mr.. Leman brought the
present suit as stockholder of the
Illinois Central, ten shares of the
stock standing in his name.

BY EXPLOSION OF POTASH
Two Minneapolis Boys Killed and Two
Seriously Injured.

Minneapolis, March 3.-Exploding
potash killed two brothers and seri-
ously injured two others in this city.
The accident occurred in the attic of
the G. A. Ekelund home, where a bot
tie of the chemical, left over from
last July 4, was stored.
Clifford, aged four, who was killed
instantly, was riddled with pieces Of
glass Nearly every part of his in
testines and liver was punctured.
Herman, aged eighteen, lost an arm
just below the elbow, his left hand
was mangled so that it had to be am
putated and his stomach was riddled
with glass. He died twelve hours
after the accident in the city hospital
Conrad, aged eight, suffered a broken
wrist. Both he and Richard, aged
eleven. were frightfully cut by glass
The roof of the house was wrecked
and many windows were broken by
the explosion.
The three younger boys had gone
to the attic to play and the older
brother, Herman, remembering that
the explosive was up stairs, rushed to
secure it. He found Clifford with the
bottle in his hands and in taking it
away dropped it to the floor.
