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
constitutional remedies, Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of
OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tabe is inffam med you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hear, and when IT is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and uu.
less the inf1am nation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of tep are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an iufamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dol

That they can be educated is

The Forward Movement.

Mrs. Stewart found herself in
Louisville, full of enthusiasm for
the continuance of her work, but
with no money behind her to
equip her schools. She appear

ascertained the true situation, and
after consideration authorized her
to go ahead with her organization,
and they would in turn put into
operation a movement during the
fall which would spread abroad a
knowledge of the true conditions,
and they thereby hoped to secure
the funds to equip the schools un.

LUMBER EXPORTS SHORT
Shipments From the United States De.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-Lumber exports for
the fiscal year 1894 decreased s12,-
525,137, according to annual statistics
of the Lumber Trade Journal. The
total exports amounted to $1O3, 179, $40.
What is considered an important ex-
ception to the general decrease is the
increase in exports of Pacific coast
woods. The most notable decrease
was that of shipments to Canada,
which fell of approximately rs per
cent.
Among the Gulf and South Atlantic
norts only three showed increases, Sa-
vannah, Port Arthur and Galveston.
Mobile still leads in the amount ex-
ported, being helped great deal in
this respect because Gulfport officially
ia included in the Mobile business.
New Orleans was second and Scran-
ton, Miss. third. Pensacola was
fourth.
