not disposed to quarrel over a little

Montgomery Ward& Co.
We call the reader’s attention to the ad¬
vertisement of Montgomery Ward & Co., of
Chicago, which appears in our display col¬
umns. Montgomery Ward & Co., are the or¬
iginators of the mail order system of doing
business, and have the largest business of its
character in the world. They employ 1,000
clerks, own the buildings they occupy, .<**),000 carry
a stock of goods representing over $1 in
money, and receive from 6,000 to 16,OW letters
and orders every day. and They everything sell everything sola
one can wear or use, is
on the guarantee that it will be found as rep¬
resented, or the purchaser can exchange for
other goods, or have his money refunded, as
he prefers.
Knowing the high character of the firm, we
have no hesitancy in saying that what they
promise to do, they will do, and that they are
thoroughly reliable in every way.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
bv local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is constitu¬ only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in¬
flamed condition of the mucous lining of tho
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in¬
flamed you have a rumbling sound entirely or imper¬ closed
fect S hearing, and when it is
Deafness i~ the result, and unless the inflam¬
mation can be taken out and this tube re¬
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Niue cases out of ten are
oaused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in¬
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can¬
not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
New Jersey spent $5,387,557.42 for
educational purposes last year—about in

Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ken

That army chaplaincies continue to

In the United States the yield of
cotton is worth about 400 millions
dollars, hay 430, dairy products 250,
poultry and eggs 560, and we export
more or less of everything but the
latter. We eat all our eggs and chick¬
ens at home, and then call for more
from abroad.
The Galveston News notes ns a sin¬
gular fact in view of its State’s im¬
mense herds of cattle, that Texas im¬
ports from other States much of the
butter it uses. Some of its citizens
are now laboring to procure tlie estab¬
lishment of creameries and cheese
factories there.
A sinister prediction comes from
Vienna. Professor Falb announces
that on November 13, 1899, a comet

of the meteorologist are not yet suffi¬

whether the violence of the shock will
reduce the planet to dust, or whether
it will be enveloped in an atmosphere
of poisonous gas, which will kill all
living beings.

Hans Wiseman, a famous Nebraska
pioneer, discounts the ordinary dime
novel hero, for he is said to have killed
in the course of his life 50 0 or more
Indians. He now lives near Harring
ton, Xeb., and is about 80 years old,
but he is still hale and hearty. About
thirty-five years ago, when Wiseman
was serving in the army, the Indians
murdered his five children, and for
years no red man dared come within

j tte ^ an Francisco Chronicle:
MftSfiacJlU setts people who wish to Hee
birds protected are much exercised
over the failure of the authorities to
*o*foree the recent law making itan of-
fense to use certain kinds of
for millinery purposes. If the Police
Commissioners do their duty, then mj
woman will dare to go out with feath
ers of any kind in her hat, unless it be
the plumage of ducks or geese; not
will any dealer consent to sell birds 01
feathers. The enforcement of the
measure will probably result in some
lmmoroHS incidents in court, for the
experts are divided in regard to the
legality of the statute.
In the opinion of the Boston Trav¬
eler there is coming a day when the
canned fruit industry will cease to be
an enormous moneymaking enter¬
prise, and the few who are now be¬
ginning to see the future of a business
dealing with dried fruits w ill be multi¬
millionaires. And the best of it will
be that the profit of it will not be
wholly with the dealers. Dried fruit
sells at about half the price that
canned fruit commands, and it will go
five times farther. When such a
reason will not appeal to a house
keeper the fact that it is superior to
canned goods on account of the mod
ern prooesse s will make some im
pression. In California they have
learned to prepare prunes so well that
large quantities are shipped to France,
the home of the prune, while Califor¬
nia raisins have practically driven for¬ and
eign raisins out of the market,
thousands of pounds of apricots and
pears go to Europe.
A remarkable feature of Queen Vic¬
toria’s reign is the great number of
wars, “little and big,” that have
marked its progress. Scarcely a
twelve-month has passed without
finding a war in some part of the
world. Here is an interesting list of
the principal campaigns: Afghan
war, 1838-40; first Chine, 1 *? war, 1841;
Sikh war, 1845-G; Kaffir war, 1856;
second war with China, second Afghan
war, 1849, second Sikh war, 1848-49;
Burmese war, 1850; second Kaffir war,
1851-52; second Burmese war, 1852-53;
Crimea, 1854; third war with China,
1856-58; Indian mutiny, 1857; Maori
war, 1860-61; more wars with China,
1860 and 1862; second Maori war,
1863-66; Ashantee war, 1864; war in
Bootan, 1864; Abyssinian war, 1867-
68 ; war with Bazotees, 1868; third
Maori war, 1868-69; war with Loo
sliasis, 1871; Zulu war, ’878-79; third
Afghan war, 1878-80; war in Basuto¬
land, 1879-81; Transvaal war, 1879-81;
Egyptian war, 1882; Zanzibar, 1890;
Matabele wars, 1894 and 1896; Chitral
campaign, 1896; third Ashantee cam¬
paign, 1896;second Soudan campaign,
