s1.5oo APPROPRIATED.
Special City Meeting Votes Sum for
 Extension of Water Main.

In the town hall Friday afternoon q special city meeting was held for the purpose of. passing upon the question of appropriating the sum of $1,5e0 above the regular appropriation for the water department The reason fer the action Is the fact that a number Of people residing near the city line on West Main street had petitioned for the extension of the water main there
 The attendance at the meeting was small, there being but fourteen In all, including two newspapermen and most of the other dezen were city and town officials
 Mayer D. P. Dunn called the meet ing te order at 2.10 o'clock and Clty Clerk A. c. Scripture read the warn ing. Corporation Counsel W, A. King then introduced a resolution appropri- ating the sum of s1,500 for the water department. There was a little dis cUssien upon the resolution. Mayor Dunn said he believed that it was a goed thing from a financial standpoint as the water department was the only thing in the city on paying basis.
 Some present doubted whether mon- ey could be collected from the resi- dents of Mansfield In the event that they should be furnished water. Cor poration Counsel King stated that he would look into the matter carefully and sumbit report to the board or aldermen. A few thought that the main should be extended only to pr. J. L. Sullivans property. The resolu- ton when put to a vote, however, was adopted, although but few voted with no one voting in opposition.

Denfncss cnnnot Re 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 an inAamed con ditiOn of the mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube. WheE this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is en- tlrely closed deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an in1amed condition of the mu- cous surfaces
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (eaused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
