Greenville, Towa, (Special). —A little blue-eyed heroine of eight summers, Clara Schlosser, daughter of Fred Schlosser, | a saloonkeeper, received homage from | scores of thankful travelers and the Chi: | cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul crew of | passenger train No. 4, for her presence of mind and bravery averted a wreck. The track makes a sharp turn near ! the Schlosser home and the little girl | "knows when the train is due. A large | dray horse in crossing the track became | fastened in the culvert and the child | knew she could not summon help be- | fore the train arrived. In an instant | she had her little red jacket in her hands | and standing in the center of the track waved it frantically at the approaching | engine. | Within a few yards of her Engineer | Myers brought his locomotive to a dead | stop, and the passengers and trainmen came from the train only to find their tiny guardian angel gone. Engineer Myers informed the police of the inci- | dent and they searched all day before | she was located. “I was afraid Mr. Conductor would | scold me,” she said, when asked why | she ran away. { | PRAYER CHECKS BURGLARS. | ett Little Cleveland Girl Touches the Hearts cf | Robbers in Her Father's House. | itia | States Senator Depew was the orator. | Mayor Hayes, the Maryland commis- | son, aged 16, were SUMMARY OF THE LATEST NEWS.

R. G. Dun & Co's Weekly Review of Trade says: —When consumptive de- mand equals or exceeds supply and prices are firmly held at an exceptionally high level it is generally considered that there is little to be desired in the business sit- uation. These factors are now in evi- dence to an unusual extent, yet many industries are halting. The disturbing element is the lack of cars to | handle the phenomenal shipments that | are urgently needed. A general advance in the price of pig iron indicates that record-breaking activity at furnaces fails to produce ac- cumulation of supplies. Steel mills are seeking material urgently, and Besse- mer pig for prompt delivery at Pittsburg is not available below $16.50. The feat- ure among the minor metals was the sharp advance in tin to much the high- est point of the year because of delayed arrivals. In marked contrast to the rise in tin was a sharp decline in silver to the low- est price since early in 1808. Shoe shops at the East are fully employed, while Western producers were never before so actively engaged. Jobbing trade is greatly accelerated by the fall in tem- perature, and makers are importuned for early shipments.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured 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 constitu- | tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- | flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound orimperfecthear- i ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is i the result, and nhless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its norma) condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever. Nine cages out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing bnt an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. : We will give One Hundred Dollars for any cage of Deafness (cansed by catarrh), that can- not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Care.
