DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
titutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iEflamed condition Of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamud
you have q 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
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing t

SENATOR NIxON'S FUNERAL

The Gazette says that fully g.
Geo people stood with bowed heads
on the lawn at the residence of the
late Senator Nixon Tuesday after
noon when simple religious
service was held over his remains.
At 2 O'Clock the casket containing
the remains was carried from the
house and placed upon a platform
and about it we're banked the floral
tributes, which for beauty and
number were never equalled in

STRANGE COUNTRY IS OMAN

One of the least known countries
of the Arabian peninsula is the
sultanate of Oman, which occupies
the southeastern extremity. The
country is largely mountainous.
The area has not been exactly de-
termined, as the western; or desert,
border has never been fixed. The
population. which ranges from
250, 900 to 100000 is distributed
mostly along the seacoast and a
few interior valleys that can be
irrigated. There are no rivers, and
the annual rainfall is not more
than five inches. Wells are the
only source of water. The Tropic
of Cancer crosses the sultanate and
while winters are pleasant the sum
mers are long and extremely hot.
Arabic is the language generally
spoken, though in the ports many
persons speak Persian, BaIuchi and
Hindustani, and every native
merchant can conduct his business
correspondence in either French
Or English. The sultan or any OF
his wallis, or governors, decides q
case which may be brought before
them without reference to any
other case or to any law, except
local customs and such precepts OF
the Koran as may be deemed ap,
plicable. Commercial law is un,
known. Wages, formerly ex,
tremely low, have been increasing
steadily, a condition said to be due
not to any demand for labor, but t.
a deficiency in the supply caused
by the dying out Of the seedee, oil
negro, population since the i'm
portation of slave cargoes ceased

The music-lovers of this city and
the surrounding territory are on
the tip-toe of expectation for to-
morrow afternoon, at the Bradley
Opera House, commencing at $50
p. m. will be, heard Harold, the
great Polish violinist whose unpro-
ceedented triumphs have brought
him fame and "bravos' from coast
to coast. Not since the days Of
the initial tout of the noted
virtuoso's counterpart, Paderewski,
has a concert artist been given
such tremendous ovations as those
that have been showered upon
Harold.
While the brilliant Polish
violinist has been recognized as
one of Europe's greatest artists
for the past five years his name
was, until a few months ago,
scearcely heard of in America. To-
day the name Haroldi has become
a household word. From the
Atlantic to the Pacific he has left
an impression which will remain
with those who have heard him as
long AS memory lives. America
has received the noted artist with
open arms. Wherever he has
drawn his bow he has become the
idol of those who have come within
the sound of his music.
The sale of tickets for the
concert has been large. Every
seat should be occupied for those
who remain away will have missed
the concert treat of many seasons.
The program cannot fail to please
for its one of unusual catholicity
In the advance criticism {
printed here, little has been said
of Rudolph Polak. Haroldi's incom.
parable accompanied. He is worthy
associate of the. noted violinist
In this young Bohemian piantiste,
composer Harold possesses an &C.
companist of superior artistic
faculties. To hear him is an op.
portunity which students of the
piano cannot afford to miss.

South Dakota has, I believe, the
best crop In the history of that state"
said Louis Betz, treasurer of the St
Paul State Savings bank, who re-
Z turned to st. Paul, Mimi, after a long
inspection tour in South Dakota. Mr..
Betz' Inspection in Grant, Roberts,
Day and Marshall counties was an ex-
haustive one.
The crop Is enormous" continued
Mr.. Betx, and | believe the govern
ment is conservative in It's estimates.
The harvesting is much further along
than anticipated. Nearly everything
but corn is cut and stacked. A little
dry weather to bring the corn out
better ID what is needed. Corn is
going to be q bigger item in South
Dakota than ever before.
From ali that could hear and
- the heavy and continued rains
have done little harm beyond diseol-
oring some barley which can still be
used.
Unless one goes out over the coun-
try and into the fields and the homes
one cannot even guess at the almost
unlimited prosperity the Northwest is
facing. II seems now that little can
happen y spoil the greAt prospects.
The good effects OF the present
Northwest crop will be felt for sew

TIE excellent crop Of small grain
will make the fall and winter months
the most prosperous ever enjoyed by
the people of South Dakota, and bust
ness of all kinds is certain to be brisk
during the fall and winter.
Corn remains in fine condition and
has been greatly benefited by recent
rains which have swept over most
portions of the state. What now is
needed to mature the corn crop is hot
aud dry weather for several weeks.
there now being ample moisture in
the ground to mature the corn even
if there is not another drop of rain.
IL corn escapes Jack Frost there
lis every possibility it will-the corn
crop this season will be the greatest
ever raised in South Dakota. The
acreage this year is the greatest in
the history of the state, and there is
every promise that the yield will be
larger than for some years.
The familiar sound in South Dako-
ia these days is the hum Of the thous-
ands of threshing machines which are
actively at work pounding out the
grain which during the fall and win
ter months will bring into the state
golden stream of dollars which
will go to swell the millions which
the farmers of South Dakota have on
deposit in the banks. So vast is the
amount Of small grain raised in the
state this year that it premises to be
we'll into the winter before all the
grain has been threashed.
Never before have so many thresh-
ing outfits been sold in South Dakota
for corresponding period as during
the past sixty days. During the past
week or two it has been common
sight in many of the smaller towns to
daily see one or two threshing out
fits unloaded from the cars and taken
to the farming community to COM
mence the work of threshing. At the
present time it is safe to say more
threshing outfits are in operation
throughout the state than at any time
since the state was settled by the
whites.
The threshing machines are telling
interesting stories of the small grain
crop raised in the state this year.
