Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition CT the mucous lining of the
Eustachiau Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and the tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness. caused by catsrrh,
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

THE CIRCUS IN TOWN.

John RobinsOn's circus will exhibit
in the northwestern section OF tins city
tonight. A performance was given this
afternoon which was greatly enjoyed by
a large audience. Under the manage
ment of Mr.. John G. Robinson, grand
son OF the original founder, this ancient
and honorable institution has more than
kept pace with the times and with the
prestige of three generations OF success.
Four rings. Two stages and a half mile
hippOdromc track are required to pre-
sent the enormous array OF startling
acts on the programme. Three com
bined menageriesI comprise the most
complete geological exhibit ever carried
by any travelling show. To add to the
variety. complete wild west eXhlbl-
ton will be given by 30 cowboys, 81
cowgirls, 80 real blanket Indians, a
company of Russian Cossacks and
Japanese scouts, Mexican horsemen
and South American VaquerOs. A
company of u. 5. cavalry will present
all kinds OF fancy drills. There IS
tribe of Singalese, and desert Arabs,
and a camp of the nations, including
hundreds of strange people from the
far corners of the earth. There was a
street pageant this morning.
The circds arrived here at an early
hour this morning and soon thereafter
the mammoth tent was erected. About
II O'Clock the grand street parade was
commenced and continued for about
an hour. The display was an lnspr'
ing one and attracted large crowds Oh
the street, all Of whom were most
pleased. There were gorgeous wagons
splendid chargers in their glttering anc
glinting harness; wild animals OF mani
kinds and ages and descriptions, some
of them strange looking to even the
old-timers who have watched circus
parades for years. There were the
camels. the elephants, the tigers an(
lions. the mysterious closed cages tina
were so awfully attractive to the boy:
mind and out of which there came
strange unearthly noises, suggestive o
the dark and impenetrable gloom o
forests where trees grow thick, where
the suns light penetrated but IN thu
smallest ray, and where there WERE
pools OF sluggish water, weighed dow
with palms and fronds and in which
awful creatures moved with stealth.
glide and deathly intent. A feature o
the parade was the congress of ma
tons" consisting OF Indians, Japs
Singalese, cowboys, cowgirls, cavalry
men and CoSsacks.
