Deafness cannot Es Oared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.

When this tube is In- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destroyed for- ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucuous sur- faces.

The driver escaped unharm- ed. The usual whistle for crossings was not given.

P. B. "StaVanger Pete" Pedersen is exhibiting a photo postal card re- ceived Thursday from a relative in his home town, Stavanger, Norway, of their home church which came into prominence in Grundy and adjacent counties this week through a descrip- tion of it by Rev. T. Aarrestad. Mr. Aarrestad, who now is visiting his na- tive land, describes it in a letter re- ceived here as follows: "At Stavan- ger last 'week I visited a very interest- ing church. The building •was put up in 999 according to the inscription above the door. Consequently it is 915 years old. The church has no windows on the north side. The walls are about 1 1-4 yards thick. A head appears above the door which is be- lieved to represent Olaf Trygveson whom tradition says built the church. A boy who followed me asked me if I wanted to see the corpses below the floor and I said yes. Be secured a lantern and we for some time crawled around among scores and scores of sound sleeping humanity, who have rested here for hundreds of years."

New Hope Presbyterian Church at Coal City was filled, and even stand- ing room was at a premium, Thursday with the sorrowing friends who came to pay their last respects to one of Coal City's best loved and most high- ly respected citizens, James Ross. The service which was held at 1:30 o'clock was conducted by Rev. Abram J. Van Page of the Campbell Park Church of Chicago, a former pastor of New Hope Church. Rev. Van Page spoke very feelingly of the high type of citizen- ship and of the splendid character and the sterling qualities of the deceased. A quartette composed of Margaret L. Miller, Beatrice Frye, R. W. Miller and R. E. Miller sang "'Safe in The Arms of Jesus," "Land of the In- finite" and "My Jesus, As Thou Wilt." The funeral procession was one of the largest which has ever left the city. The floral tributes were numerous and very beautiful-silent testimonies of the great love and esteem in which Mr. Ross was held. The pall bearers were Ave brothers, Thomas Ross, An- drew Ross, Will Ross, Robert Ross and John Ross, and a nephew, Doug- las Ross, of Cincinnati, Iowa. Burial was in Braceville and Gardner ceme- tery.
