The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, January 8, 1902. Tie Nicaragua:: Protocol. U'\ioViimfnn .Tan 51?9lnme of the T1 HCUIUgVUUt V?U. V ? features of the protocol between the United States 3Dd Nicaragua referred to in President Zelaya's message to his Congress have been made known in recent press dispatches from Managua. But there are many other important features which have not yet been disclosed, one of these being the complete American jurisdiction. and the establishment or American conrt9, civil and criminal, throughout a zone six miles wide and extending from ocean to oceaD, and including the proposed termiLi, Greytown on the Atlantic and Brito on the Pacific. The entire policing of this large tract is also placed in the hands of the United States so that it has the power to preserve order and af4 ' * " ^ - ' *3* /?tr. 1 rWAAOQQ OV ler (o&o to juuiuiai ^/i.vv/vcw va tending thronghoat this zone. Besides the authority of American courts and of the American police on the six mile zone the chief features of the proctocol are in giving lease in perpetuity of this tract to the United States and at the same time giving an American guarantee that the independence, sovereighty, and integrity of Nicaragua shall not be disturbed by the rights thus con-, ferred upon the United States. No exact information is obtainable as to the price specified in the protocol as to payment to Nicaragua for the grant to this country. It can be stated positively, this price is much less that was expected when negotiations began, and that it is considered by officials as reasonable. It is understood that at the outset the view in Nicaragua .was that $20,000,000 would be the proper figure for the grant to this country, and about $6,000,000 for Costa Rica's grant. But while there is no information as to the final sum in the protocol, it is T ' ?- * 1 1. -e IU? -l I Known 10 D0 iar suort ui tuo buu*o figures. As the cession takes the form of a perpetual lease, it is probable that the protocol includes the feature of an annual rent a3 part payment. A protoeal with Costa Rica, identical in form with that which Nicaragua, except in the price and territory lease, has been in course of negotiation, and it is understood that a satisfactory conclusion will be reached with that government. Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications as they can ?A AUa fVlO out teauu tuc utooaocu yuiuuu ui iud ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remiedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, 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 by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the muccus surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by r Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, fee. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0.

New Year resolutions are noted for their utter worthlesenese, but there is one resolution which does not seem to have been given much of a show heretofore, and The Index would suggest that it be given a fair trial. Tt is this; Don't nrowl. The horde of growlers seems to increase by hundreds and thousands as the days go by. No matter what conditions obtain, your growler finds no good in them. If it is fair weather, it ought to be raining. WheD it's dry, and when it rains, it rains too much. When the price of one farm product goes up, the very ones he hasn't got and has to buy also go skyward in price. It doesn't matter that the advance helps some other fellow. He thinks only of self. This cantankerous philosophy gets worse ' every minute of the growler's life. \ He begins with the weather: this leads to dissatisfaction with the crops. Then he drags the growl into bis family and into all his daily transactions with his fellows. Now, ' - * - ^ ????.!

Nothing so far as what it j brings in to you. Oa the other hand it brings into the lives of those around you a deal of trouble and vexation that ought not to be there. Try life awhile without the growl, j Greet those around you pleasantly; and when things go wrong, bear the * i 11 . _ l:_i. j worry 01 id an who a tngu courage, a courage that is not sustained by growling. If reverses come, meet them bravely and determine to make the best of it. Make the best of it in everything, and success will come. It is bound to come ! A Good Recommendation. "I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is almost invariably to these who have once used them," says Mr. J. H. Webea, a prominent druggist of Cascade, Iowa. What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such aremedj? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with consJipatioD, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief whiah they afford.

Senator Teller was member of the electoral commission which, by a party vote of 8 to 7, stole the Presidency from Samuel J. Tilden, the Democratic nominee, and this same Teller wanted Congressional interference to prevent the disfranchisement of negroes in the South. Today he is still a Republican on all questions, but silver, and yet he is admitted to the Democratic caucus, and votes to refuse^ assignments to Senator McLaurin. Is it any won- j der that a man with the pride of McLaurin refuses to be led by such leaders? Look over the roll of the Democratic Senatorial caucus, and it is dominated by Silver Republicans and Populists, men who never voted the Democratic ticket in their lives until the silver issue was spruDg, and only then, bepause they were personally interested in the silver mining industry. The life-long Democratic Senators, aside from a few from the it- - 0-.-i.i- - 11 : :i_ il_ me ojullj, ai*-' a amun mmuruy iu iue much prated Democratic caucus which Senator McLaurin declines to be shackled by. Roosevelt Commended the Victorious Schley. Philadelphia, Dec. 28.?The following formal message was sent by Roosevelt to Schley immediately after the destruction of the Spanish fleet, through John Doyle of this city: "Say to Commodore Schley that Theodore Roosevelt, until recently assistant secretary of the navy and now colonel in the army, congratulates him heartily as the hero of the battle of Santiago." "Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of paius in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well able to go to school. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," says James Pren UCIgaoL, ^uuaiu jjoj ^ vaujaiv/^ n cct India Islands. The pains in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded off by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. Sold by J. E. Kaufmann. In the old countries the number of women exceed the men, but the United States have 1,800,000 more men than women. Immigration is the accounting cause. i A Disastrous Storm. The associated Press dispatches cf Tuesday, December 81st, told of wide spread disaster by high wate:s in North Caroliop, South Carolina. Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and other States All the railroads in the territories referred to suffered heavily by washouts and otherwise. Trains ou the Southern have been running late, aDd on the Asheville division traffic has been completely blocked. A number of lives have been reported to have been lost, and several dams, includ ing tnose oi rortraan isnoaie, id Anderson county, S. C., and at Tallapoosa, Ala., have been washed away. The property loss throughout the flooded territory easily foots up into tens of millions of dollars. Child Worth Millions. "My child is worth millions to me," says Mrs. Mary Bird of Harrisburg, Pa , "yet I would have lost her by croup had I not purchased a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure." One Minute Cough Cure is a sure cure for coughs, croup and throat and luDg troubles. An absolutely safe cough cure which acts immediately. The youngest child can take it with entire safety. The little ones like the taste and remember how often it helped them. Every family should have a bottle of Ooe Minute Cough Cure handy. At this season especially it may be needed suddenly. J. E.

"Re snra and use that old and well tried remedy, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup for children teething. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic and is the best remedy for diarrhoea. Twenty-five cents a bottle. It is the best of all. Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest I and distress from tortured muscles, aching J : joints and excited nerves. The blood has , been poisoned by the accumulation of : waste matter in the system, and can no : longer supply the pure and health sustain* ing foot! they require. The whole system : feels the effect of this acid poison; and ! not until the blood has been purified and I brought back to a healthy condition will ! the aches and pains cease. Mrs. James Ke1l, of 707 Ninth street, N. E\ Washington, P. C.. writes as follows: "A few j months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheuma I tism in its worst form. The 1 ??.. ?Vi*? r j t>ccame completely pros! trated. The attack was an j unusually severe one. and wr t*5W3 [ ray condition was regard- ft, eel as being very danger- <Q* \ ous. I was attended by \ | one of the most able doc- >N Vi'Sr jC 1 tors in Washington, who is j j also a member of the fac[ ulty of a leading medical . \ I college here. He told me s20*&S&m3xrffl&?* I to continue his prescriptions and I would get well. After hairing i> filled twelve times without receiving the slightest benefit, I declined to continue his treatment ant longer. Having heard of S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almost in despair however, to give the medicine a trial, and after I had taken a few bottles I was able tc J hobble around on crutches, and very soon there* j after had no use for them at all, S. S. S. having ; cured me sound and well. All the distressing j pains have left me, my appetite has returnee, and I am happy to be again restored to perfect health. ^k. the ideal remedy in all fektjff kjytrheumatic troubles. ^5or HksJSr There are no opiates ot minerals in it to disturb the digestion and lead to ruinous habits.

It will be sent free to any one desiring it. Write our physicians fully and freely about your case. We make no charge for medical advice. r THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA. GA. Miss Ellen Stone. The Report of Her Release Remains Unconfirmed. Sofia, Jan. 3?The local reports of the release of Miss Ellen M. Stone and ber companion, Madame Tsilka, remain unconSrmed. News from the frontier says the brigands are bidding in Turkish territory, and are beiDg hustled by the inhabitant who had previously been victimized by ! the bandite. A fight occurred in which the leaders of the brigands are said to have been wounded. Part of the brigand band, wearied at the delay in obtaining a ransom for the for the captives, have deserted, and ' are attempting to re-enter Bulgaria, but the guards are closely watching i the frontier. Il is further said that the whereabouts of the captives is known and that it is hoped the agents of the missionaries will be able to get in contact with the band in a few days. A Profitable Investment. "I was troubled for about seven years with my stomach and in bed half my time,"' says E. Demick, Somerville, Ind. "I spent about $1,000 and never could get anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entirely well." You don't live by what you eat, but by what vou digest and assimilate. If u your stomach doesn't digest your food you are really starving. Kodol Dyspepsia Care dce3 the stomach s work by digesting the food. You don't have to diet. Eat all you want. Kodol Dyspepsia Care cures all stomach troubles. J. E. Kaufmann. 1 Czolgosz's Brain was Normal. Chicago, Jan. 2.?At today's meet' ing of the Anatomical society, a paper by Dr. E. A. Spitzka of New York, was read by the secretary, and in it the doctor declared that the brain of Leon Czolgosz, President McKinley's assassin, was normal.
