There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an Inflamed con-
dition of the mu "us lining of the Eus-

Imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

With a better understanding of the

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forma of
sickness arc not duo to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, .syvupof Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the?only
remedy with millionsof families, alalia
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value (food health. Its beneficial
effects a re due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
• i _ ans on which it acts. It is therefore
<t 11 important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not, needed, if
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the

Sbdalia Mo., April 17.—For the
first time since the war. Missouri has
o Democratic candidate for President
of the United States. This conven-
tion, without a dissenting vote, in-
dorsed Richard P. 111and for that high
position. The indorsing of Hlantl for
President caused him to retire from
the nomination as one of the lour del-
egates-at-large. Vest, Cockreil and
Stone were nominated by acclamation
and the other member was voted for.
George W. Allen of St. Louis was
named.
Chairman Matlitt called the conven-
tion to order at J'J:2o, and introduced
Mr. Hatch as temporary chairman.
When he mentioned the name of Dick
bland for {''resident the convention
went wild and it was several minutes
before quiet was restored* Quite n
ripple of excitement was caused when
it was discovered that I. 11. Lion-
berger of St Louis, a gold man. had
got on the committee on resolutions.
This brought on quite a warm
wrangle between Nick Hell of St
Louis and Chairman C. C. Maffitt, dur-
ing which Hell threw a glass of water
square in the face of Matlitt. Friends
interfered and the incident ended
there. Convention adjourned tilt 7
o'clock.
It was nearly 8 o'clock before the
Committee on Credentials, represented
by Dr. Shields of Hannibal, read the
report, seating the Hrown-Stone-.lu-
lian delegation from Jackson county.
The convention gave the delegates
from St. Louis a slap by unseating
John S. Cullom and John Callahan of
St *Louis, when the solid St. Louis
delegation opposed such action.
The Committee on Utiles reported,
naming M. E. Hen Won of Newton
county as permanent chairman, anil
Sam Cook ot Mexico as secretary.
Mr. Henton, in assuming the chair,
made a strong free silver speech,
which in no way cast credit upon
President Cleveland.
The long looked for resolutious
were then read. The resolutions, after
treatingaof State matters anil uphold-
ing the State administration, take up
the money question as follows:
"Resolved. That we Remand the
free and unlimited coinage yf silver
uud gold into primary or redemption
^ioney at the ratio of Hi to 1, without
•waiting for the pet ion or approval of
any other government.
"Ifesolved, That the delegates
elected by this convention to represent
the Democracy of ^Missouri in the mi
tional Democratic convention, to biJ
held in Chicago, are hereby instructed
to cast th%ir votes and use their in-
fluence iu that convention in favor of
the adoption of the M'fitimcnts herein
above expressed and such delegates
iire hereby further instructed ta vote
as a unit on all questions coming be-
fore sueh national convention; also to-
cast their votes and use their influence
to secure the nomination of candidates
for president and vice president who
arc personally in accord with the mon-
etary system herein aifcvncated. We
approve the action of our Senators,.
Hon. F. M. Cockreil nnd* Hon. (Jeorge
0. Vest, on the financial question, and
recommend the re-elect iou of Hon. C.
(i. Vest to the United States Senate.''
Amid cheers and hat waving. Gov-
ernor Stone stepped forward and read
this, which was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That tlie Democracy of
Missouri takes pride in presenting to
the National convention at Chicago
the name of Richard Parks Hland. a
name known throughout the world,
for the nomination to the*high office
of president of the United States, and
the delegates from, this State to said
convention are instructed to use every
honorable means to promote his nomi-
nation." •
The voting on the fourth delegate-
<it-large did not start till nearly 10
o'clock. Mont. Cochran of St. Joseph;
George W. Allen of St. Louis, and J>Y
11. Hatch of Marion, were named. It
look two ballots to decide the matter.
After the first, Hatch retired, the vote
on the deciding ballot being: Allen.
-'97; Cochran, 2118.
These alternate delegates were
then chosen: Joseph Rickey, of St.
Louis: Robert Fox, of St. Louis; Judge
I). W. Shakelford, of Cooper; W. S.
Logan, of St Louis. •
The fight on C. C. Matlitt, chairman
of the state central committee, was
the most severe blow to the St Louis
delegation. Maffitt was named by his
district as delegate to Chicago, but
because he did not declare himself f#r
"10 to 1,'" but stated that he believed
in the unit rule and would vote as the
convention instructed, but he would
not agree to bolt the national conven-
tion in case it did net go as he wished,
Govertior Stone spoke against him. '
and Gregory was seated. This was
the end of the business, and the con-
vention adjourned sine die.

Gmaiia, Neb., April 18.—The ques-
tion of the legality of what are
known as "gold coiu contracts,"
was raised for the first time in
this count}* yesterday. It came no in
an action to collect payment of a
$>',000 mortgage note, on which a de-
fault in interest had occurred. At-
torney for tliedefensc raised the point
in the District court as to the effect of
inserting iu a note or contract the
words ".to pay in gold coin," or the
words, "to pay in gold coin or its
equivalent," and argued that in either
form the note would be illegal, being
in violation of the legal tender law
and contrary to public policy. It was
further argued by the defense that if
not voiding and invalidating the note
entirely, the section requiring pay-
ment in gold was void.
During the argument the court said
it would not enforce that part of the
note contracting to pay iu gold; thit
if it came to a question of holding that
the note was payable in gold or the
contract was illegal or void, the court

Few women have had a more mls-
' arable existence and lived to tell the
tale than Mrs. Anna L. Smith of 311
Pulaski Avenue. Brooklyn. With all
the comforts that money affords, with
' all the happiness that many loving '
I friends can Klve. the Joy of Mrs.
Smith's life was blasted for years by
the terrible ravages of sickness. The
story Is most Interesting as told to a
reporter:
• I was an Invalid for years, suffering
first with one complaint and then with
another. The thing which caused me
the most discomfort and made me of-
fensive to my family was the worst
case of Indigestion imaginable. 1 had

occasionally his prescriptions relieved
me temporarily. But the pains and
misery would all soon return again.
I became desperate, anil started In to
try remedies of which I read. Among
them were the Pink Pills. I took the
pills and followed out lite dlrec-

CHAIRMAN
St. Louis, Mo., April 18.—Charles C.
Matlitt has resigned as chairman f
the Democratic State committee, the
office which he held for eight years,
but will still remain a member of the
committee, lie denies that he resigned
as a result of the action of the Sedalia
convention in refusing to permit his
name to stand on the list of delegates
to the national convention because he
declared himself not a free silver man.
Maffitt has about decided to go be-
fore the national convention at Chi-
cago and contest the action of the
Sedalia convention in refusing to ratify
his nomination as a district delegate.
