way to cure deaf ness, and that Is by consti

Inflamed condition of the mucus lining of th*
Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear

the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Us normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed foreve-,
nine cases out of ten are caused l>y catarrh,

There have been various stories
written about the stealing of the Bal
timore and Ohio Kail Road engines
at Martinsburg, \V. Va„ during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp, who Is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an of
ficial of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some Inquiries of old em
ployes who w'ere at Martinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on Juno 19, 1801, 200
men of GeiTI Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over 41 engines and nearly 400
ears and then set lire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however,
were seriously damaged, ami these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived In Martinsburg on August 18,
1861, and remained there until the fol
lowing March, engaged In removing
engines, machinery, etc. lie took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike, either to Staunton, Win
chester or Straaburg, (and there are
some historians who disagree on this
point) 32 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines nnd cars
and all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used in the
Southern arsenals. The country nround
Martinsburg is extremely hilly and the
work of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. It has been cur
rently reported in late yearB that one
! of the loeomotlveR was the Wlnans
! camel-hack No. 99 which at that time
was numbered "7, but Col. Sharp did
not care for this class of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en
gines. There was only one eight wheel
ldcomotive taken and that was No. 34.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Bsltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master of Trans
portation.
The widow of former Governor At
kinson, of Georgia, has created some
thing of a sensation in business and
social circles by going into the field as
a general state agent for fire and life
insutance companies. She says her
purpose is to make a living and edu
cate her live children. She is already
doing well and has received letters of
congratulation from numerous society
women.

The marks left by pain are on the young faces of many of our

The Great Catarrh Cure.
JOE WHEELER'S CHARGE AT SAN JUAN HILL.
Major (Jcneral Joseph Wheeler, com
manding the cavalry forces In front
of Santiago and the author of "The
Santiago Campaign,” In speaking of
the great catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na,
says: "I Join with Senators Sullivan.
Roach and McEnery in their good
opinion of Pe-ru-na, It Is recom
mended to me by those who have used
It as an excellent tonic and particu
larly effective as a cure for catarrh."
United States Senator McEnery.
Hon. S. I). McEnery, United States
Senator from Louisiana, says the fol
lowing In regard to Pe-ru-na:
"Pe-ru-na U an excellent Ionic. I
have used It sufficiently to say that I
believe It to be all that yeu claim for
it.—S, D. McEnery, New Orleans,
Louisiana.”
United States Senator Sullivan.
“I desire to say thut I have been tak
ing Pe-ru-na for some time for ca
tarrh, and have found It an excellent
medicine, giving me more relief than
anything 1 have ever taken.—W. V.
Sullivan, Oxford, Miss."
United States Senator Roach.
"Persuaded by a friend 1 have used
Pe-ru-na as a tonic, and am glad to
testify that it has greatly helped me
In strength, vigor and appetite. 1 have
been advised by friends that It is re
markably efficacious as a cure for the
almost universal complaint of catarrh.

The Tennessee conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church aouth, has
Just adjourned. Laymen of Nashville,
composed of the leading hankers, cap
italists and merchants of the city, sent
a strong petition to the conference,
urging that the good of the church
demanded that the war upon these'
book agents and book committee
should cease. The conference avoided
further agitation of the publishing

A Prosperous Maimlarlurine City.
Brockton's prosperity Is ho closely al
lied to the prospeilty of the shoe Indus
try that it will, no doubt, prove a matter
of Interest to a large number of people to
learn the actual average raining rapacity
ol each Individual employed In the mak
ing of the world-famed Brockton shoe.
For Illustration: Al the factory of the
W. L. Douglas Shoe company the puy
roll for the week ending Sept. 30, exclud
ing superintendent, foremen, salesmen,
and all clerical help, shows the average
earnings of the employes, large and
small, to he $16.54 per week. This was not
an extraordinary week. It was the cus
tomary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however,
does not always tell the story of nros
perlty. The number of weeks employed
each year Is the determining factor In the
wage earners' prosperity. The Douglas
factory has been closed bill one week
tills year, and that for the usual summer
slock taking, and II will be closed but
three days the latter part of December.
This would make but nine days out of
the year that Hie factory Is cloned, which
Is sinely as steady work as the most In
dustrious shoemaker could desire.
It Is believed that the average pny and
the number of days worked Is larger at
the factory of the VV. L. Douglas Shoe
company than tit any manufacturing In
stilullon In Massachusetts
Owing to Increased business, another
addition Is to be made to the Douglas
factory. It will be ltx) feet long, tie feet
wide, and five stories high. It will bo
ready for occupancy early tn December.
This addition Increases (lie capacity 36
per cent. The W. b. Douglaa Hhoo com
pany has l he largest factory In the
world, producing uu advertised line $3.60
and $:t.i«l shoes.
Mr. Douglas says that the prospect for
successful business for Brockton manu
facturers was never so good as now. and
that collections are better than for years.
