Some people are never content with anything. They will not ttnd exactly wliat they want even in heaven. If they know some one is there ahead of them.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased jvortion of the ear. There is only one way to cure, deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the .Kustachlan Tube. When.tills tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and tills tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of' tho mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

JAPAN WITHDRAWS OBJECTIONS

Willing that Hawaiian Annexation He Carried Ont as Planned. Japan has been removed as an element in the opposition to the mtiilication of the annexation treaty between the Hawaiian Islands and the United States. This result has been attained by the conclusion of an agreement between this Government and that of Japan, as represented by Minister Toru-lloshi, which, by practically settling the status of the Japanese in Hawaii, removes the only substantial difference that Ims existed between the two Governments. The correspondence between Minister Hoshi and the State Department has been directed to a satisfactory settlement of the status of the resident Japanese in Hawaii, and tins last point has been adjusted, so for as the executive branch is capable of acting independently, the agreement being reduced to the shape of a written memorandum. It is understood to l>e a recognition of the rights of the Japanese in Hawaii to claim equal rights with the Japanese in the United States after the taking effect of the treaty with Japan proclaimed in 1895,

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS DECISIONS

Action of the f upremc Tribunal in the New York Case. The supreme tribunal of the Knights of Pythias at Indianapolis decided the New York ense, being an appeal by Grand Chanceller Kauski of New York from the decision of the grand tribunal ns to whether the funds of a subordinate lodge can be used for other than funeral and weekly benefits. The decision Is thnt the grand tribunnl did have jurisdiction over the differences presented in the case and the decision of the grand tribunnl is therefore reversed, with an order that the caw* be dismissed from the docket below. In the absence of a now ense this practlcully disposes of the point at issue. The grand tribunal pf New York held 1 that the lodge had no authority to adopt a scctiou in Its by-laws for the trust funds of a lodge for other than the purposes indicated.
