ious purpose runs through the entire
work and ninny of thesceuesdillneated
events In the earthly pilgrimage of

pictured many of the customs of Rome
and Judca in the time of Jesus that
were real und life-like. The audience
gave close attention during the entire
entertainment aud all felt that they
bad enjoyed a rare treat. Many who
have never read the book will now
want to know somethiug more about
the soul stiriug events which were
secu ou the cauvos lust Tuesday
eveuiug, aud there will probably be
a new demand iu this vicinity for Gen.
Lew .Wallace's wondeiful romance.

There is only one way. to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deaf lies is caused by au inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Kustachian Tube. When tbi tube get
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
impeifect hearing, and when it i en
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the lnrlamation can be Uken oat
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
I bv catarrh, which is notlung but an m
i flamed condition ot the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Uollar

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall
