Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion OF the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed condition Of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is in6amed you have q rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing. and when II is entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi.
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing

SATURDAY.

Des Moines, July 13.-Nearly three
hundred former residents of Van Bur-

Saturday afternoon and enjoyed pic
mic supper. A permanent organization
of all the natives Of old Van Buren

more enthusiastic gathering of the ex-
citizens of an Iowa county was never
held in Des Moines.
Several of the picnickers Saturday
signified their intention of attending
the annual Van Buren county home-
coming which will be held in Keo-
sauqua August II and 12. This big
celebration promises to be the great
est reunion ever held in Van Buren.
At least fifty Des Moines people will
attend, and if twenty-five more de-

extremely enthusiastic, and the large
gathering Of Saturday larger than The
organizers had grounds for anticipat-
ing, is an indication of their loyalty
to their home section.
Ed Harlan, who will probably BIZ

cal department. was made president of

and Captain Twombly. another well
known citizen, was made vice presi-
dent. Miss Carrie Clark was elected

the campaign plans for Bells state,

The Democrats could not carry that
state, Bell urged If the policies of
President Roosevelt are attacked.
Mr. Bryan, who maintains the pres

an issue in the Pacific coast states.
Lively Consultation.
Bryan held lengthy consultation
with the labor leaders. Gompers con-
graduated him on his nomination and
be counted heavily for him at the
November elections. In the course of
the conversation the platform was
discussed but more particularly the
one relating to the regulation of in
functions in labor disputes. The Wis
its of the labor leaders was espec-
Tally pleasing to Bryan who took oc-
casion to express his qualification at
their promised support. While this
conference was being held, Kern, his
Indiana colleague, Mark A. Walsh, OF
Clinton, Iowa, and NJ V. Cannon of
Iowa talked over the political situa-
ton in another room. The Iowans

Cleveland. July 13. = Indications
are multiplying in all branches Of
trade that a return to normal business
conditions is rapidly approaching.
Railroad managers, especially, report
a decided improvement and the sharp
demand for cars for transportation of
all classes Of freight with the possible
exception of steel and iron. A promi-
nent railway official said today, while
this branch of business continued far
below the normal it no doubt largely
resulted from the fact that the rail-
way companies themselves were not
buying material
This state of affairs, however" he
added, could not possibly continue
much longer, the railroads would
shortly be compelled to go into the
market and when they did so the de.
mand would be sudden as we'll as

Grand Chief Engineer Stone Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
said today that his reports showed a
decided business improvement on the
railroads throughout the country. The
repair shop forces had been put on
full time on practically all railroads
both east and west and many engi
neers who were idle are now return
ing to work. Stone declared the busi.
ness outlook is exceedingly promis
ing.
Reports indicate that numerous In
dustrial plants which had been closed
down are resuming operations, while
others working with short forces are
putting on additional help.
