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 the inf'amed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is n0amed you ha We a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when IL is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an infamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness Caused by Catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Backing.

The great English harness backing
is made as follows: Three ounces of
turpentine and 2 ounces Of white wax
are dissolved together over a slow fire,
Then add l ounce Of ivory black and ]
dram Of indigo, well pulverized and
mixed together. When the wax and
the turpentine are dissolved, add the
ivory black and indigo, and stir till
cold. Apply very thin. Wash after
ward, and you will have a beautiful
polish. This backing keeps the leather
soft. 1t is excellent for buggy tops
and harness. Old harness, when hard,
will be benefited by washing it in warm
water, and, when nearly dry, greasing
it with neatsfoot oil.

The farms of Kansas produced S19,-

Gently sold by John Touchette of Cen

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress to establish postal savings banks

Expert peach growers of Michigan
say that the hard freeze Of last year
will prove a benefit, as 1t really cleared
out and rid the State of hundreds Of
worthless orchards. New ones will be
planted to take their place.
The Honey Crop.
The value of S25,0 600, 900 placed on

Ey,er,men,tnr with Lambs.

The Iowa Experiment Station re-
Gently marketed some lambs that had
been fed to determine the value Of diff
ferent rations. Lot II was fed man
gels, lot two sugar beets, lot three corn
silage and lot four grain and alfalfa.
There vas no material difference in
the condition of the lambs in lots one
and . ut the finish. While the lot
given corn silage was in better shape
than the one given sugar beets. it was
not as good as lots one and four, 1t is
the claim of English shepherds that
%succuleLt feeds are necessary in secur-
ing n good finish on lambs, but the
above experiment indicated that while
the lambs fed such feeds made better
gains than others, there was not
enough difference to warrant the buy
ing Of such feeds.

blade and a movable blade being placed
In advance of the opening. By this
novel arrangement of the fixed blade
n the disposition of the movable
blade and it's arm, the movement Of
the one blade past the other, besides
effectively severing the stems, tends to
impel the severed fruit into the open

either hand, and as the stems of the
fruit are cut it slides down the incline

charged through the hinged lid at the

Generating Table for Horses.

A new operating table for horses is
described with illustration in Popular
Mechanics. 1t is a great steel frame
which revolves like a wheel on an
axle. The horse to be operated upon is
led to the frame and securely fastened
by straps and padded bars. When all
is ready, and the anesthetic admins
tered, the frame is swung into the po-
sition most convenient for the opera
ton. The table is used at a veteri-
nary hospital in New York.

ARE STAND PATTERS.
Manufacturers of Chemicals Appear at
Tariff Hearing.

Washington, Nov. 10.-A number
of manufacturers of chemicals appear
ed today at the first meeting of the
house committee on ways and means
to consider proposed changes in the
tariff law, which are to be made at a
special session of congress to be called
after March 4 next. John F. Queeny
of st. Louis. DR.. Springer of Cincin-
natl and George N. Brown of Philadel-
phia were among those heard. They
represented a number of commercial
establishments and advocated the re-
tention of the present tariff on chem
icals and chemical products, but con-
tended that if this policy could not be
pursued certain raw materials enter
ing into the production of these arti-
Giles and which are not produced in
this country should be placed on the
free list.
Chairman Payne of the committee
announced that morning and after
noon sessions would be held and said
that if necessary the committee would
also sit evenings in order to complete
the hearings within the time allotted.

ing Mr. Fisher in ballooning, accom-

Dayton, Ohio, the intention being to
make the 100 mile flight, descend, load
the bag on to the deck of the automo-
bile especially prepared to receive it,
then drive the car into the city of Day
ton.
Every detail of the ascension was
successfully carried out. After hover
ing over Indianapolis for a few mo-
mentS, westerly wind caught the bal
loon and drove it rapidly toward the
east. Not caring to risk descent in
the dark, a landing was made just be-
fore dusk, the great gas bag, under
the mastery hand of Captain Bum
baugh, settling slowly to the earth, and
when over a corn field the achor
was thrown over catching in a fence.
The auto came to the ground so gently
that the passengers did not rise from
their seats until after all four wheels
were on the ground.
1t took but a few minutes to debate
the bag, roll it up and start the car

PRISONERS MAY VOTE.
That Is If They Have Not Been Con-
victed of a Felony.

County Attorney Caldwell of Fort
Scott asked the attorney general for
an opinion today as to whether the
votes of prisoners in the city and
county jails were legal, and if the
officers who took them from the jail
to the voting precincts could not be
prosecuted. Attorney General jack
son replied that a prisoner, unless he
is under sentence for felony, has
legal right to vote If he can get to
the polls, but that a sheriff or jailer
who took the prisoners out to vote
could be prosecuted for malfeasance
in office.
The penalty is a fine not to exceed
$1,000, a Jail sentence not to exceed
one year, and custer from Office with
an additional penalty that the official,
if convicted, can never hold another
office of trust under the laws of Kan
sas. 1t is inferred by CaldwelPs let
ter that some officers at Fort Scott
voted the prisoners in both the county
and city jailS.

VOTE NEXT SATURDAY.
Cubans Preparing to Again Manage
Their Own Affairs

Havana, Nov. 10.-Cubans will vote
next Saturday for president, vice pres
ldent, senators and representatives in
congress, in whose hands the govern
ment of the island republic will be
committed on the 2Sth of next jan
usry
The United States troops will be
Withdrawn on that date, three days
earlier than the time originally set,
IN order that their departure may
marx the anniversary of the birth of
Jose Marti, the Cuban patriot.
There Is little reason to doubt that
the elections will be conducted with
all regard to law and order, such as
marked the provincial elections last
August. Both of the political leaders
nave given absolute assurances that
they will accept the result loyalty.
There is practically no difference in
the platforms of the two parties in
the field, both having as their chief
plankS preservation of the republic
equal rights for all citizens encour-
agement of agriculture and commerce
and maintenance of friendly relations
with the United States. The struggle
is. frankly, for possession of the gov
eminent and control of public patron
age.
The Conservatives candidate for
president is Gen. Mario Menocal, and
their candidate for vice president is
DR.. Rafael Montoro.
Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez and AL
fredo Zayas are the nominees of the
Liberal party.
Both Gomez and Menocal are veter-
ans of the revolution and each has a
large following because of distinguish
ed service on the field. DR.. Montoro is
the foremost orator in Cuba and was
nominated in the expectation of his be-
ing able to control the large Spanish
vote, but he is unpopular with many
