Prairie County Court House Burns

One night last week at Des Arc
the Prairie county court house was
burned to the ground. All the
county records, excepting the tax
books, were saved, the latter not
having been deposited In the safety
vault with the other records. The
court house was a handsome struc-
ture, having been built In 1904 at a
cost of $4,000, and the fact that
not a cent of insurance was carried
on the property makes the loss Sc
we're one for the county. The origin
of the fire Is unknown.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an innamed condition Of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube Is inAamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing, and when II Is en-
tirely 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 inAamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.
One Kind of a Celebration As Tried In
Connecticut City.

A description of a number of safe
and sane Fourth of July celebrations
that actually took place last year, APP
pear in the June Woman's Home Com
panion. These descriptions are full OF
valuable suggestions for fathers and
mothers who would like to have their
children enjoy themselves on the Fourth
this wear without running the risk of
losing legs arms and eyes. The fol-
lowing paragraphs show what they have
been doing on one of the streets OF
Hartford, Conn, for ten years:
"The residents of Deerfeld avenue,
Hartford, Connecticut, have for about
ten years celebrated the Fourth OF July
in safe and sane way There are
some seventy-fiye families ON the block,
which is about a quarter of mile IN
length. A committee is chosen and each
family is asked for small donation.
About one hundred and fifty dollars ~
raised, which pays for everything
"The first event on the program, at
$3.50 O'Clock. is the children's parade,
headed by the newest baby, pushed by
his proud father; next come the other
babies in deliberately decorated carriages,
followed by the little girls, each push
ing her dolls carriage; next, the small
boys in Indian or soldier suits, and,
last the older children. All carry Jap
anese parasols and silk flags furnished
BY the committee.
AT 1880 o'clock Is a baseball game
in the park played by teams picked
from the east and west sides OF the
street. Each team is cheered by its own
followers with tin pans and horns.
"After luncheon comes ball game
between the Youngsters and the street
and team of small boys from the
next street. and after this the sports for
the children, including twenty Ave yard
dashes for all ages, a rope-skipping con-
test for the girls, shoe race for the
boys and peanut race, with prizes for
the two best in each contest.
'TThen the fathers and mothers have
prize contests of throwing the baseball,
running a potato race, tossing the beam
bag, etc,
In the evening are the great illumina-
ton and abandonment. Hundreds OF
Japanese lanterns are hung on cords, pre-
viously prepared, up and down the
street, from tree to tree and to the
porches, and each house is decorated
with many beautiful lanterns A band
of twenty-five pieces renders fine pro-
gram"
