I>(-ulii4'ti« cannot be Cured
by local applications, as lliey cannot
reach ilie diseased part of the ear.
2'liere is only one way to Wire Deafness
and that is by constitutional reme^
dies. Deafness is an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have it rumbling;
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
It is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused liv catarrh, which is
nolliiUK but an inflamed condition ol'
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused hy ca-
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catanh Cure. Send tor circulais,

GitKEU county will realize a hand-
some addtion to her treasury by the
sale of her lands in Texas.
The membeis ot the Texas Legisla
ture will be given an excursion to the
City of Mexico at the close of their
session.
Judge Kilgorb rushed the docket at
Pauls Valley, last week and heaid
quite a number of cases, both civil and
crimual.
Gov. riAItltls has called an extra ses
sion of the Chickasaw L,egislai uie and
is earnestly urging his lube to t*ke
their allotment.
Hei i'i'.licass are gravely recount-
ing all their past efforts in behalf of
republicanism, with a view to ap-
pointment to some fat office. The de-
mauds exceed the dimensions.
The editor of the El Reno Demo-
crat seems to think that his Yukon
con temporary lias gone catacorneiedly
wrong or t hat he is the propagandist of
« new plan of self agrandizement.
SOME of the lobbyists at the legisla-
ture feel that their public personal
rights .vere carried off in vest pockets
by the membeis, and as a result of
this a few of the former are at present
greatly embarrassed by out-standing-
board-bills which the assembly utterly
refused to consider.
Wiien the case of Me Kiunei (color-
ed). charged with killing Johnson, was
called at Pauls Valley, last week,
Dist. Atty., A. C. Cruce ask on 1 of
the jurors if he could give a negro
as fair a trial as a white
man. The juror replied that
ti -ould not coucientiously do so, anil
si ood aside.
Legislative Assembly Adjourn
ed.
The assembly adjourned last Friday
night at twelve o'clock afler having
been in active session for sixty da>s.
The last days witnessed a grand
rush in both houses. We believe the
late session lias not been surpassed for
energetic workers in all the history
of Oklahoma. The people seem to
have exeicised the best of judgment
in selecting their representatives, and
on the other hand those who were
chosen to those responsible positions
as the law makes of our territoiy did
not fail to seize every opportunity to
belter their constituency. While the
entire work of that August body is
hiirlily commendable yet they could
not possibly hope to entirely escape
partisan criticism, nor would those
honorable members stop t<> quahhle
about any unjust censure after having
honorably acquitted themselves by
such praiseworthy service. This Free
Silver representative body was a
grand success and will undoubtedly
be a brilliant guiding-star to our v .it-
ers in future elections.
By an unparalleled rush in both
houses the the calender was wholly
cleared up. During the session live
hunditd and four bills were Intro
duced. Two hundred and eight of
these were propogated in the council,
and two hundred and niuetv-six in
the house. One hundred and fourteen
bills made their way through both
houses and ninety-eight of them met
the signature of the Governor, while
four fell victims of the veto and the
remaining ones died neglectedly with
adjournment.
The tinning of the Kay county
court house, last week was quite a
disastrous affair, but many valuable
docni unts and records were saved
from the conflagration. NewKirK
will soon iiave a better and more sub
Btanlial building erected and the loss
of t he old court house will hardly
be fell in thai comity.
JT7DGINGfrom lus inaugural address
President McKinlev is very much im-
pressed witli the financial situation,
lie will piobiibly appoint Mark Han
tia as chairman of the financial iuves
tigatingcommittee. Mr. Hanna would
be sorely disappointed if he dnl not
occupy all these important positions,
and the President should remember
that he is very much indebted to that
heroic gentleman. Public affairs are
getting so they don't who handles
them.
We are glad to note the fact that a
neyv organization, The Woman's
Christian Union, has been formed
among the ladles of all the churches
in the city. This leaeue was perfected
last Monday and all regular meetings
will be held on the same day in the
afternoon thereof of each week. The
ohjecS of the association is to enhance
am? ;neserve the chastity of the city
by tiding their co operation and in-
fluewe in exspelling and keeping out
women of unchaste characters from
the bounds of the city. This is a
movement for which those who taKe
pai t deserve great credit and one
which should receive the hearty sup-
port of all the christian people in
Norman.
A little investigation will show you
that the Topic has been the means of
saving every man who desires to prove
up,the price of his publication notice.
Just remember this and bring your
notices to the Tom' ollice.
Wl telaw Reid's Discovery.
Hon. Wbitelaw Beid, of the iNew
Yoik Tribune, spends every winter
with his family at Phoenix, Ariz.,
win ie lie finds the climate unexpect-
edly agreeable. In a letter to the
Philadelphia Times he says: "East-
ern folks will have to form new ideas
of Arizonia. I am keeping house
here with great comfort. My resi-
dence has hot and cold water, electric
I light, and telephone, and the climate
| is really better than that of Cairo.'
I Mr. Keid's health has greatly improv-
' ed since his visit to the South. Any-
one who wishes to become fully in-
formed regaraing health resorts in

University vs. Normal School.
I John T. Ilefley and Norman T. Pool
went to Oklahoma City last Satuiday.
They there met John Adams and Mr.
Fan ill, delegates from Edmond, and
pes tooted arrangements for the debate
bt ««en the University and Normal
school. The subject for debate is: He
solved, That "Feudalism resulted in
m< re evil to the world than good."
Ahirmative, University; negative.
Normal. This Linguistic contest will
be held at Edmond May 19th or 20th,
at the close ot l he Territorial Insti-
tute. and will redound to the honor
and glory of the winning side.
The Eastern Question.
The Cretan struggle is dailv becom-
ing greater in momentum. Greece has
lately made some bold steps toward
defending the Island, is preparing for
a general warfare with Turkey, and to
that end has advanced a large military
force to the Macedonian border. The
Macedonians are eager to espouse the1
cause of the Greeks, and will if pos-
sible prove a formidab'e enemy to the
Moslems On the other hand the Sol
tan is obstinate and is preparing to
meet these obstacles which are thrust
against his regime with an indnmni-
table courage characteristic of his
I race. He has military hosts at Ins
| command wUh w hich he could easily
(overwhelm the entire Greek proyinces
\and if the European powers do not in-
terfere it is seriously believed that
such will be his course. But the pow-
ers are sharply divided in their seem-
ing opinions of the situation and most
of them are in a state of deep letliar
gy. not readily concurring with either
side. However, it is supposed that
| the gravity of Prussia is sufficient to
| tip the balance of power in her own
favor, and since there is a firm relation
' existing between that government and
Greece we tnay easily suppose that
Greece will suffer no serious invasions
from the Turkish quarters The Cre-
tans, being mostly Christians belong-
ing to the Greek blanch ot the Catho
] He church are wild in their enthusiasm
and may in their eagerness commit
reeds acainst their opposing minority
that would not meet our approbation,
and in that event should be restrained,
but they are struggling for the liberty
which we have prized so dearly and
their cause is a just one, therefore all
Christian nations should lend them
their sympathy aud aid so far as it is
possible to do so. Greece is at least to
be admired for takinft the lead, to ex-
tricate Christianity from Turkish
domination.
Found Hanging
Around the Boston Store many peo-
ple w ho were eager to take advantage
of the many bargains that may be
found at that place. They have the
best.and most complete stock of goods
ever brought to Norman, and their
prices are low. So reader, when jou
want the best goods for the least
money, go to the Boston Store.
