IF a Grcsham boom should collide witti n Harrison boom in Indiana , what kind Of a presidential blizzard would swoop over the country ? REMKMHUANCK of the war is coming 'back to us in the sliupo of fractional paper ourroncy in the denominations of twenty-five , fifteen and ton cents. that lown has shown how to getup up a real enthusiastic presidential con vention for her favorite son , lot Ohio , Indiana and Illinois join in the proces sion. MINNESOTA is anxious to bake the wedding cake for the marriage of Uncle Sam to Miss Canada. Hold on Minno , wo don't want to risk a breach of prom ise suit from that dark eyed beauty called Cuba. a Chinese merchant at San Francisco can fail for $70,000 and bor rowed at 2 per cent . month , Denis Kearney ought to temper his hate against the Mongolian. A financier of that calibre is worthy of a position ns bank cashier. SINCE Dave Mercer and the Hon. Mr. Bracken ridge were dined and feted at the Millard by the state league of re publican clubs , wo have hoard nothing about Charley Grcon's and John M. Thurston's candidacy for representing Nebraska at the national convention. PAT FORD has a picture in his mind Of a grand edifice on Jefferson square which shall contain a city hall , library , art hall , museum ana market house. But if Pat Ford had tlio making of that plan , ho could not help reserving the choicest corner of the building for u saloon. IT has come to such a pass , that whenever - over a passenger train is snowed-in on any of the railroads running through Ohio , the natives go through the train to induce the passengers to draw straws for presidential preferences. To what unworthy ends have the proud sons of Ohio fallen 1 THE senate committee on coast do- SbnBQs reported favorably the bill appro priating $120,000,000 , for that purpose. About 821,000,000 is to bo expended an nually until 1001. In view of these facts wouldn't it bo best to postpone active hostilities against Morocco until wo are prepared 'i If our frigate Kntor- prize , now at Tangiol' , should flro ngun , eho'd sink , nnd the United States would bo at the mercy of the sultan. TITEIIK is favorable promise that con gress will give heed to the universal opinion that the salaries of federal judges should bo increased. The hottsu judiciary committee has ordered the bill for this purpose reported to the house , and it is not probable that it will encounter there any serious opposition , Even EO Inveterate a stickler for econ omy as Helm UD ought to bo easily in duced to see the justice of the measure , besides which thcro is the further con sideration in its favor that better com pensation will aid to improve the character - actor of the federal judiciary by induc ing tlm best class of lawyers to seek service in it. There is no reason why the government should pursue n nig gardly policy toward its Judiciary which very much smaller and loss wealthy countries would bo ashamed of , Tin ; Omaha Business Men's club man ifests a great deal of Interest in manu facturing projects , and expresses grout anxiety to aid factories and mills de siring to locate in Omaha. This Is very laudable and wo shall accord to the club all the credit it deserves for en couraging industrial enterprises. It seems to us , however , that successful efforts in this direction can only bo achieved by united and harmonious ac tion. The members of the club must bo aware that the board of trade is about to organize a bureau of manufacturers , which will bo given the necessary moans for systematic work. Tlio board of trndo manufacturing bureau will bo in full operation by the first ol April , nnd if its efforts are seconded ended by Omaha business .men ; it can not full to achieve -all tlmt is desired by the business men's club. tcnth r > f Chief .Instlco "VVnltc. The country will bo Burprtflod and shocked t > y the nnnonncomont of the death of Morrison K. Wntto chief justice ol the supreme court of the United States. Tlio only Intimation publicly given thht the health of the chief justice was Impaired , vtna the Btntomenfc n few days ngo that ho wns not well enough to read the decision which ho hnd prepared in the Bell telephone case , tlmt service hav ing been performed by Justice Blatchford. The country was therefore wholly unprepared for the announce ment of the death of this distinguished jurist. The name of Morrison R. Wnlto will occupy a prominent place in the list of the great jurists whoso learning , ability and patriotism have given the eupromo court a prc-omlnont place among the judicial tribunals of the world , During the fourteen years In which ho occupied the position of chief justice his course commanded the fullest respect and con fidence of the country. Ho was recog nized as a jurist whoso sense of duty was regulated by the most elevated standnrdand his career attested his con stant devotion to high principle. Noono of his great predecessors could have hnd a higher conception than ho of the lofty character ot the supreme judic iary , and of the necessity of keeping it apart and free from all Influences , partisan or other , which might In the least degree sway It in behalf of any political interest or any section of the country , diminish the value of its authority , or impair its honor and dignity. Thus in all circumstances Chief Justice Wnito was uncom promisingly loyal to his great oulco.Vhon ho declined to servo as ono of the electoral com mission of 1870 , ho signally manifested his conviction that such a political ser vice would not bo consistent with his po sition , and throughout his term this high sense of obligation and resposibll- Ity to the judicial trust was always ap parent. Ho had no ambition beyond that of filling honorably and wisely the first judicial office in the world , and this ho did so completely as to have had the unquestioning confidence of all his countrymen and to have won a most distinguished place in the history of the nation's supreme tribunal. The legal learning and judicial wis dom of Chief Justice \Yalto , not less than his other distinguished qualities , surpassed the expectations of the coun try at the time of his appointment. Ho had sliown marked ability aa a member of the Geneva tribunal , which settled the Alabama award , but ho had no ex tended reputation ns a lawyer. After the rejection of the learned and emi nent Caleb Gushing by the senate , the selection of Morrison R. Walto to the exclusion of n largo number of available men of national repute seemed to many to bo a serions mistake of President Grant. It proved to bo ono of the wisest and worthiest acts of his administrations. It gave the country an able , patriotic , conscien tious chief justicoj who appreciated at ' its full value tho' character and dignity of the onlco and its great and grave responsibilities a man of sound and safe wisdom , as free as it is possible for man to bo from political or personal prejudices , regarding tbo court of which ho was a part as the conservator of national justice , and having at all times and in all circumstances the courage of his convictions. His honor able record reflects honor upon the nation. Chief Justice Walto was in his seventy-second year , and except Justices Miller and Field , both of whom wore born in 181G , wns the oldest member of the supreme bench. Of his predeces sors three attained to n greater ngo John Jay , who resigned alter a service of six years and died at the ago of eighty-four ; John Marshall , who died at the ngo of eighty , having boon chief justice thirty-four years , and Roger B. Taney , who died ut eighty-seven , after a service as chief justice of twentv-oight years. The question of a successor to Chief Justice \Vaito will bo ono of profound interest to the country. The president would perhaps bo justified by precedent in ap pointing a successor from the territorial division embraced 'in the circuit of the late chief justice , which in cludes Maryland , Virginia , Wo3t Vir ginia , North Carolina and South Carolina lina , and it is not improbable that ho will do this if a man can bo found in any of those states who would not encounter the opposition of the senate on grounds similar to those that wore urged against Lamar. Political expediency , however , may have some inlluunco in determining the selection , and it la impossible to say where this would load the president. lUystory Involving tlio Supreme Court. A week before the supreme court of the United Statea gave its judgment in favor of the Boll tolpphono monopoly the telephone stock market at Boston began to bo affected by some mysterious inlluonco. Boll slock , withoutappnront cause , jumped steadily upwards , The stocks of rival companies dropped as steadily downward. The investing pub lic , unsuspicious as to the cause of thin singular financial phenomenon , could not account /or the mysterious transac tions. Two days before the decision , which rivets the chains of the telephone mo nopoly for twenty years to come upon the people , had boon delivered the press announced the secret. On Saturday it wa3known , that on the following Mon day the Boll claims would bo sustained , The reason for the heavy trans action in telephone stock then became apparent. Through under ground and secret channels tlio decision of the highest tribunal of the United States had been made known to u favored few , and the stock jobbers who wore let in on thu ground Hour reaped the bonellt. It would bo' Interesting to know the source through which the secret was t disclosed. Two justices' the supreme court took no part , in discussing thu merits of the .Bell case , Justl.cu Gray , formerly of Boston , was disqualified as having been heavily interested , it ia isnld , In telephone slock before his ap pointment to the bench. Justice Lnnmr through his thrco years' experience as secretary of the interior , during which llmo ho hnd to pass upon some of the questions involved , was nlsodisquallfiefli Savon only out of the nine justices sat in judgment on the appeal against the great telephone octopus. Ot thcso thrco of the ablest dissented from the judgment of the majority , mid the vote of a single justice decided the question. While the decision will b < 5 a source of disappointment to the people of the country , who have watohoa with inter est the progress of the tedious litiga tion , the question ot a longer or shorter term during which the Boll patents may hold is really of less Importance than the question whether the supreme bench of the United States is being used by stock gamblers and financial trick sters to benefit private interests. Who received advance copies of the decision of the supreme court ? and how Was the information surreptitiously given out ? Thcso nro questions which the public have a right to have nn- sworcd. AFrun a second thoupht , Mayor Hewitt , of Now York , BOOS his folly in defending trusts , and his latest utter ance on the subject scores them un mercifully. In a recent interview with the president of ono of the loading east ern colleges , Mr. Hewitt said ! , It is ono of the fundamental principles of our Inws that'a man shall huvo the control ot the results of his own exertions , but this principle Is In danger from the Ignorant rich and thd Ignorant poor. What was the power of n Nero or a Tiberius or tho-klngs of Africa , who slaughtered many human bolngs , compared to the power of a few men who can paralyze the Industries of the United States ! When has It over before been that a dozen men could meet In secret session to decide whether they should withhold the food and fuel from those who were ready and will ing to work for the support of themselves and their fiunillesl If this is to be , then God save the republic. I want the colleges to teach men tlmt they shall govern themselves , and not bo governed by a few men sitting in secret and usurping the government. IT is currently reported that a largo quantity of sewer brick that was re jected by the sewer inspectors at Lin coln , has been hauled to Omaha and is now being used' in the Jones street sower. If this is true , the sewer inspector specter who has charge of that work must bo negligent , incompetent or dis honest. The board of public works and city engineer should look into the matter , and if any considerable portion of the sewer has been built with in ferior brick , the contractor should bo ordered to rebuild it. Other Liantls Than Ours. The long-looked-for local government bill was introduced in the house of com mons on the 19th , and has since been the leading topic of discussion in the house and else where. While'it receives vigorous support -it also encounters strong opposition. As foreshadowed it is democratic in character , and as-yct it IB impossible to say whether this , is to constitute a tory or liberal victory. The liberals have been , very confident ihat the tory party would split * in arty at tempt to give the counties real p'opular government and oust the landed , gentry from their last political stronghold. It was supposed that they would not bo able to produce a bill on which they would agree , and for which the liberals would vote. It has still to bo seen whether the ministry can keep its forces together during ttio passage of the bill , If it can , it will undoubtedly "dish the radicals , " much as Lord Derby and Disraeli "dished the whigs" in 1807 by passing Gladstone's extension of the franchise. That the counties will got as good a government as they have now , from representative assemblies , in the matter ot purity and economy , many will doubt until they see it. A strong opposition to the bill will come from the teetotalers , who declare that the arrangement giving the control of the liquor licenses to the new county councils , while the licenses nro a part of their revenue , gives them an interest in maintaining the liquor trallic. On the other hand the publicans nro rather aggrieved at the power given to decrease licenses oven , although compensation is given , und will meet on Friday to consider their attitude. The licensing question is so thorough that the government frankly dcclnro they only make the suggestion and leave tlio house to decide - cido it. Tlio exclusion of Ireland und Scotland from the scheme is n violation of the government pledges , but cvon as it stands , many liberals consider the bill far too good to bo allowed to pass. Owing to the largo food supplies abroad nnd the consequent agricultural depres sion in England , the inlluonco of the landlords in the counties is almost gone , ana the present bill would complete their downfall. It is doubtful , there fore , whether all the tory squires , loyal as they nro to their party , will bo able to support it. It is important , in considering the probable fate of the measure , to remember Salisbury's declaration at Oxford that nothing short of a vote of censure would induce him to resign. The impression in some quart ers is that ho intends to ride for a fall. If the bill is honestly intended to pass , nobody will support its general princi ple moi-o enthusiastically than Glad stone. Other questions which nro com manding a share of English attention nro the conversion bill of Goschon and llio renewed attack on the constitution ality of the house of lords. The conver sion bill is making progress , nnd it &coms not unlikely that Its author may win financial fame from It nnd do Ills country a service , As to the movement against the house of lords , it will probably end as others of a similar character have in the past. England muUmako u good deal more progress toward democracy before that bulwark of nobility can bo wiped out. . * * The situation in continental Europe presents no now features of dibturbanco. The latest sentiments uttered by Em peror Frederick iii his messages to the rpichstag' and the Prussian land tag nrVin line with the. peaceful and reassuring expressions that preceded iv "Waking in the pathsof our gjorl- otm fnthon" ho says , "wo slinll know no 6thornim tostrivo for than tlio hoppl ness nnd welfare of the fatherland. " Until something occurs to weaken the tinloii of the three great powers of Europe Germany , Austria nnd Italy there Is no great likelihood that tlio pcnco of Europe will bo troubled , Franco has not forgotten the loss of Lor raine , but prevailing public sentiment docs not throatdh | \ war of retaliation with doubtful wlmnccs of succoss. If Franco moves against Germany , It xvlll not bo while Germany Is united ns never before nnd supported by Italy. Russia Is uneasy , but the hazard of the inevita ble conlllct will mnko the czar hesitate long before crossing the Bulgarian frontier. The Balkan provinces nro worth conspiring forliut not worth fight ing for. Nevertheless It must bo recog nized that the pcnco of Europe lanot se curely founded. The shaking of the union of the the three central powers will bo the opening wedge of attack. \Vhllo the present emperor contt'ols ' the policy of Germany , it may bo Impossible to weaken this union , but his falling health makes It doubtful whether the policy of Germany will bo directed for many months imdor his prudent oversight. In the event of his death , the young prince who will succeed him is of untried temper. Whether ho will consent to bo guided by the sagacious counsels which have established the empire cannot bo pre dicted with certainty. Restless ambi tion may dissolve the ties which have been knit together with such skill and pains. A kaleidoscopic change of the political complexion of Europe may fol low , and In the final adjustment of the pieces the relative standing of the great powers may bo strangely shifted. * The Boulangor episode is the most in teresting incident which Franco has re cently furnished to the attention of the world , and while the courage of the ministry in dealing summarily with this popular soldier for his violation of army regulations is commended , there is a good deal of spec ulation as to what may bo the result if Boulangor shall attempt to make polit ical capital out of what his friends re gard as persecution nnd a concession to Germany. The ofTonso for which Gen eral Boulangor has been removed from his command were plainly violations of military discipline. Ho visited Paris three times in disguise without the con sent of his superiors , and defends him self upon the plea that some of his fam ily were sick. Whatever may have boon the reasons , his conduct was a grave infraction otarmy rules the world over , and to have overlooked or con doned it would haVe boon fatal to mili tary authority. [ Ut yet remains to bo seen what action , .the military tribunal which has been cj4lod to investigate the case will take , and what effect the Bou langor political .movement may have ; but thus far the ministry has shown that it possesses backbone sufJlciont to deal with this chronic offender and maintain its authority. Thip is somewhat in the nature of a surprise , as the Carnet gov ernment at bosbilhas only boon looked upon as a compromise between the fac tions and not specially strong. It has Bhown special strength and courage , however , in dealing with Boulangor , all the moro so that ho is a favoritp with the war and "glory' ' element of the people. The real danger is yet to come should ho bo able to organize a party strong enough to make him a power in politics. It will bo a dark day for the French republic should it allow the military idea to gain the ascendancy in its political counsels , particularly when that idea is represented by such a reckless schemer as Boulanger , whose highest ambition is to play the role of Napoleon. * * * The Italian campaign in Abyssinia continues to drag along"nottnuoh to the credit or the advantage of the invading forces. The last accounts report a skirmish at Saborgamma , rather more than half the distance from Snati to Gliinda. The Italian advance has al ready boon at Ghinda , so that it obvi ously has been drawn back , and it is not tit all unlikely that General San Mar- zuno would prefer to accept battle at Saati than at any point between Unit and the high plateau above. The army of King John reached Dodofclossi on February 22 and Maaijar a few days later , establishing u , supply station at Doboroa. Early in the present month a largo body of Abyssinians was fchind : o bo massed at Goura , while the king went forward to Asmara , on the crest of the heights , and only a short march from Ghinda. The Italians seem then to have become cautious , with a view to "drawing the enemy on , " ns was ex plained ; but perhaps the reported de fection of Pebor , a powerful ally , who was said to have made oil with his fol lowers , carrying the arms which the ItuliuDh had furnished , may have boon an additional rcabon for prudence. Ono thing apparent is that the practicable campaigning season for the Italians in aggressive opcralitins is fast running away. jjjfj Ordinarily Morwcp isan Insignificant country , which isSjbput as little known to the average European or American as the Fiji Island jjr Timbuctoo , The dilliculty with tiiaj United States in which it Is jus'- no\liinvolvcd | , however , gives it some intent to the newspaper reader of this coufmjy , It is situated in the northcabtoriiymart of Africa , is nearly as largo inrni'oa as Texas , and about as populous qli | New York.

Most of its foreign trade is with England and France , Morocco has im- prlboncd certain persons whounder the treaty between that country and this , claim the protection of the United Slntos , and refuses to give them up. Spain is supposed to bo bracing the sultan up in his obstinacy , on the presumption thnt the lack of nn adequate navy will prevent this cauntry from assorting it- bulf , * * * The action of South Australia In re gard to Chinese bhowe thti opinion in which1 the coolie is hold in'the Austra lian colonies. Since the entry of Chin- ese Into California has boon restricted the dcnlcra in coolies nt Hongkong have been costing about for other fields. They have shipped thousands to Honolulu lulu , and the result is that the native Kanaka has boon forced out of the few email employments that used to suffice to support him. Then they turned their attention to Australia , nnd began ft sys tem of immigration that aroused the colonies to solf-protoctlon. Laws were passed fixing a head lax on cvdry coolie nnd limiting the number to bo brought in every ship ; but It is evident that this does not go far enough , and total exclusion will bo the next atop adopted. What has led to the oxoito- mont in South Australia is the prospect that the diamond fields will bo worked by Chinese labor , and it this should bo done it would not bo long before all mining would pass into the hands of the coolio. With the present distress nmdng the unemployed in Austrnllnnnd Now Zealand , the outlook is not pleas ant , nnd trouble will occur if the effort to import cheap alien labor is persisted in.

A. hall last evening , to listen to the fifth of the scries of public lectures. The speaker was Ilov. T. M. House , of the First M. E. church , and his subject was the "Forces of Our Time. " After briefly defin ing force the speaker made thrco divisions of it : 1 , Elementary forces ; 2 , Forces moil- iflcd by inventions of man ; 8 , The utilities nnd influences on mind and faith of those studies of matter. After referring to the many Inventions of steam , telegraph , elec tricity , etc. , ho said that tbo present genera tion nro only borrowers , every achievement of the present is only a reproduction of that which was once in man's possession , but by aomoliocus pocus disappeared. With refer ence to poetry , painting , sculpture , architec ture , the drama , the whole range of imagina tive literature nnd every matter that relates to invention , to use or beautify the form wo are styled only copyists. Ours is a practical ago. it Is an evidence of in tellect to repognlzo the suutla agent electricity among the forces of tbo universe. But It Is a mark of consummate wisdom to make it the messenger of the human will , the Borvant of humanity. The press has sounded the bugle note of the oppressed and despairing throughout the world by sending forth the word of lifo in moro thnn half the languages of the gloho. It is Pentecost tri umphing over linbel. It champions the tongue and the pen , catching up their words and malting the knowledge they Impart im- parishablo , giving material form to speech which is moro hreath. It enthrones man upon a height from which ho can speak to the whole world in all Its generations. Our chemistry is no underground attempt to find the elixir of lifo and turn all things as if by inagia into gold , but analyzing all material elements , It instructs the farmer , the miner , the artist nnd the fartlsan , the scientist und the professor of medicine with reference tote to the constituent clcinontH and natural properties of the hundred things the beneficent creator has committed to our keeping for purposes of good. There ro many and grand modern things that outweigh tbo past , yet they nro po In wrought Into the warp nnd woof of our social lifo that wo are for the most part unconsci ous of them.Vo live , then , without know ing It. We , of this generation , have been born to them and know no other way. Ono of these formative ideas on which modern society Is built , is that of the human brother hood , but men do not cant about Ideas that have nothing grand in them. Another of the creative Ideas of modern lifo Is that of individual .iborty when the freedom of class , of tribe , of nation , of race , was exchanged for the freedom of the Individual , a great leap over the chasm which separates the an cient from the modern world. Men of all races , nations , classes , and conditions are brother men , each res ponsible for nil nnd all for each. The equal children of ono household whoso father is God is a theory of society which in its ful ness has been the growth of the last two centuries. Liberty to the ancient mind was liberty of the rnco , or nation or tribe. It In volved liboi ty to enslave another raco. Eng land wns the first great empire which recog nized ever so dimly the right of the individual to himself. It was never fully formed ns the corner stone of government till the declara tion of independence in 1770 proclaimed that all men nro created free and have the right to lifo und liberty. Observe the right to lifo was not moro sacred in their theory than the right to liberty. As n practical principle of government to bo put to use In building a re public It was a now idea. Thcso nro hut a few of tno representative Ideas of modern life which show the iminensitv8oqf human progrossjglin the world of mind. Associated with them nro many others. They arc such ns the recogni tion of the freedom of the press and public speech of n popular literature of the eacrcd- ncss of human life und of the criminality of war. Of the dignity of labor , of gentleness and family government , of the disgrace at tached to the drinking usages of society , of the subordination of wealth to diameter und of manners to mind in estimating tlio woith of the man , To thcso should bo added those germs of Ideas such ns Haylitt calls. "Tho tops of thoughts , " now Just visible nbovo the surface ' of society and premonitory of the reforms of the coming ngo , They suggest among other things , the euro approach of a moro oqunblo balance of capital und labor and of fixing limits to the accumulation of private property nnd the regulation of its use by principles of benevolence. Hero is n resplendent galaxy of Ideas Which light up thu firmament of modern civilization. They Indicate iv world In n forward und upward movement. The inarch of the htuiB IH not , moro certain. They uro ideas also which create great men for their development. ' AMUSEMENTS. run AVOU.O CLUII COXCBIIT. The A | > ole ! club Is to bo congratulated upon having contributed last evening , nt Boyd's opera house , ono of the most pleasing musical entertainments of the expiring season , which was listened to by an nudlmica not so lurgo ns the merits of the concert deserved , but which wns wnrmly nnd heartily appreciative. Especially Is the club to bo congratulated und commended for its enterprise In engaging the great contralto , Ftaulcln Marianne Brandt , for this occasion , and the regret is that a much larger representation of Omaha's ad mirers of artistic excellence did not improve the opportunity to hear this dUiingulsiicd singer. The gifted nnd accomplished artist was , however , most cordially received , and it was evident that the highest ex pectations formed of her were fully met. 8ho luul tlireu numbers in the programme , In each of which was displayed a distinctive quality of her wonderfully i ich voice , whoso i osourccs of power and expression seem inexhaustible - exhaustible , Perhaps heir most marked suc cess , .us exhibiting in the fullest measure both tbo quality and capacity of volco < nnd perfection of artistic method , was the aria from "Fidolio , " but her other numUuii * , as well aa the selections with whlcJi aliu tospondeQ to the urgent recalls of the audi ence , were of 'such high excellence as to bilenco criticism , if not comparison. Frauluin Brandt is m the tiucst ttnsb a great artist , Who fully merits the. . dbtlnputahcd plnco ulio occupies among living singers. 1'rnlso is duo Mmo.

" 1 am nineteen years of ago , n brick-moulder by trade , icsldo with my parents corner of Cnmlng and Kllzabvth street * , ntul work at Styers" brick yards. My trouble began about six years ago , as the remit of n cold I could not get rid of. 1 Torn a simple cold In the head It gradually spread until my throat and PIUS were iilso airectcd , Jly head generally ached , an when I uas free from headache I would ba troubled vi 1th palm through my chest and In my hack , and frequently I would bo allllctod with both. I think 1 must have had all the symp toms ot chronic Catarrh. My uo n would stop iMVllrHtononosIdo and then on the other , and at times both sides would hit Slopped Up so tlmt 1 could not hreatho through It. J would hare frequent spells of dizziness , and was troubled with ringing and buzzing bounds In my cars. I had but little appetite ami t.ORT KI.KSH ANI1 BTnr.NOTIt rapidly. ] did not rest well ut night , and always felt thud and languid after arising In the morn- Ing. 1 had no energy or ambition to do any thing , and the least exertion I made seemed to bo n burden tomo. . mid. It was only with the greatest dllllculty that 1 could remember my plans for the day or what I wanted to do next. Ami then , too. I was compelled to hawk and cough luul expectorate until my throat felt r w nud sometimes spro. 1 became worse day by day , and had nearly given up all hope of over being well again. "As I said before , I had ringing and buzzing - ' " zing Bonndx In my cats , but that did not an noy mo nnar ns much us the fact that my hearing was giowlug more faint everyday , and thutduring conversation persons \\otild hove to speak very loud to mo bofoio I could understand w hat they were talking nboutt this , with the other tioiibles I have enumerated , had a tend ency to make mo fool low spirited 11 ud despondent , 'and often felt as though life was not wortlj living for and that I Mould bo better off dead than to co through life In the coiull- i.AnsiiN , tlou I was nud contlnu- nlly growing worse. "This was my condition a few months ago You could scaicely think such was the case to see mo now , Indeed , as I said bufoto , 1 can hardly believe ii myself now. Hearing of the success of Dr. McCoy and lilt associates in treat ing case ! ) such ns mine , 1 determined tojclvo them u trial. After careful mid minute examina tion the doctor told me ho could help me and that my disease was Catarrh In the head and throat , and that my oustachlan tubes wei o affected , du 3 from the Catarrh , and that aa the Catarrh got better , with the treatment ho would give iny oars , my hearing would also Improve , and In hla opinion the tubes would Boon become iiprmnl again and I would hear a well as over. "Jn conclusion. " continued Mr. Larson , "I want to say that they have done all for ino they said they could do. l feel Hko on entire differ ent man. I oat hearty , feel strong and wojl , liaVo no more pains In my head or chest , sleep well , arise refreshed In the morning , my former ambition seems to bo brightening , and I feel more energetic and Hkp walking again. The ringing and buzzing noUo In my head has ceased and lean hoar on ordinary tone of volailnany conversation , and 1 am thoroughly satisfied with the manner In which they so successfully treated my case. I have no hesitancy In recommending them to the public as mou of medical ability and skill. " Mr. Larson Is n young man of more than ordi nary ability , and ns nbovo stated , resides with Illsjiii outs nt the corner of Cumlngand Ullza- beth streets , n here ho can ba found to verify the above statement.
