Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of The ear.
There is ely one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamcd condition of the mucous lin
ng of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken OUT and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out. of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surface.

SHERMAN CRITICALLY ILL
Vice Presidential Candidates
Condition Serious,

Cleveland, o., June 24.-Represen-
tative James Schoolcraft Sherman,
Republican candidate for vice presi-
dent, was removed from the home of
former Governor Herrick to Lakeside
hospital, a sufferer from gall stones
He spent a somewhat restless day,
but is reported in an official bulletin
as holding his own. If the patients
condition continues to improve, the
bulletin says, it is not likely that an
operation for the removal of the gall
stones will be necessary.
Owing to the fact that DR.. ]. M. T.
Finney of Baltimore could not come
to the bedside of Mr.. Sherman an ef-
fort was made to reach DR.. William
Mayo of Rochester, Mimi, a noted
specialist and surgeon, who Mr.. Sher-
man hoped would be able to attend in
case an operation was deemed neces-
sary.

Governor of Minnesota.

May Win Republican Nomination for
Governor Of Minnesota.
The returns from the primaries
held throughout the state give J. F
Jacobson of Madison the better OF
the contest for the Republican nomina
ton for governor, although the num-
Der of counties thus far reported is
not large enough to give him a cinch
on the nomination. Where tickets
were put up by two or more candi
dates it is possible to find out the sen
t1ment, but in most of the counties
there were no contests at the pr1ma
ries and there will be no definite infor.
nation until the county conventions
are held Thursday.
So far Jacobson has received 21s
votes, Joel P. Heatwole 40, E. T.
Young 40, while S. T. Snider and NJ.
w. Savage both claim the vote Of
Hennepin county, 113, with none out

Olmsted county was visited by the
worst storm in its history. In twenty
four hours Ill inches Of rain fell.
The Zumbrota river, which has been
in a swollen condition for weeks, be-
came a raging torrent and the loss to
property in Rochester will reach an
enormous amount. Abe river spread
out over the flats of the city at an
alarming rate and hasty preparations
were made by the residents of that
section to evacuate. In twenty min
utes the river rose five feet.
The food came so swiftly that par
ties driving on the Cascade road we're
compelled to abandon their rigs and
seek refuge in nearby trees.
In the southeastern part of the city
the entire section is covered with wa

have been rendered homeless, a great
many losing all they have. There has
been no loss Of human life, but there
were one or two very miraculous es'
capes.
At Austin, Mower county, the Cedar
river, swollen beyond its already alb
normal flood stage, took possession OF
large area, cut the city of almost
entirely from outside communication
swept away bridges, ruined stocks OF
goods in stores and property in many
houses, flooded four entire townships

a rampage, which undoubtedly means
the loss of 100000 or 100000 to the

For fully thirty minutes the Twin
Cities and the surrounding towns
were in the furious grasp of a
shrieking storm, wind, lightning and
torrents of rain, easily the worst storm
of the year, and one Of the worst in
the past few years. No lives were
lost in st. Paul, though one life was
lost in Minneapolis ard one near Hop
k1ns. Considerable property was de-
stroyed, especially at White Bear lake,
where trees were uprooted or broken
off and thrown into the raging lake,
while roofs of lighthouses were ripped
off and sent hurting through the air,
docks torn up and scattered along the
shore and a general havoc created.
Near Hopkins the fury of the wind
resulted in the death of Henry Fort
wenger, a resident of North Mime
apolis, who sought refuge in shanty
and was killed by a falling beam when
the shanty was wrecked by the wind.

resignation, to take effect June 80,
and it was announced at the White

is no longer any dividing line between
the North and the South and that all
good Americans are in thought and

fluenced still more by the fact that
