Curious Freak,
cents a dozen .

One of the most wonderful freaks of
nature the world has ever known is now
attracting attention in st. Paul, and
Spokane Falls figures as the central
figure in the phenomenon.
1t is no less than horse that bears
in its left eye a perfect picture of the
waterfall at Spokane Falls, says the
ReUieW of that town. The eve has been
seen and examined by hundreds of per-
sons, and closely compared by them
with photographs and other pictures of
the falls. and no one has yet failed to
pronounce it a correct picture.
In discussing the matter with re-
porter, Mr.. Dillman said:
"Mr Deakin sent the horse down to
the hotel where | stopped, in order that
| might see him The horse is white in
color and of medium size. was some
what skepticPl about the story until l
looked into the animals left eye, when
| beheld perfect reproduction of part
of the falls of the Spokane River as true
to life as the best photographs"
The part of the falls shown is from
the water works across TO the mills.
The island on which the water works
stand is also shown. The picture is
absolutely perfect in every detail The
horse was sold in st. Paul with q num-
Der of other horses, and the wonderful
picture in his eye was not discovered
until after he had passed into the poss-
ession of Mr.. Deakin.
Hundreds of people have viewed the
horse and Mr. Deakin has received an
offer of $1,000 for him, which he
promptly refused. He also received
flattering offer to exhibit the animal in
the principal towns OF Montana. No
such a phenomenon. or whatever it may
be called, was ever heard of before, and
the horse will prove a great advertise
ment to Spokane Falls when placed on
exhibition.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by consutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in

imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

less the inflammation can be be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for

catarrh. which is nothing but an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous rurfaces.

Every man who wants to sell some
new houses next year at fair profit
should build them now. He can build
cheaper now owing to an overstOraRe
OF material and great competition be-
tween material and need.
Everybody during the latter part o Z
last winter thought the Spring would
develop and unprecedented boom In
building.
During the State Legislative session
there was much agitation concerning
building laws, which postponed many
such negotiations as are usually made
between capitalists and builders at
that time OF year. Even after adjourn
ment OF the Legislature there was a
scare on the part OF many In regard to
the lien law.
This was aggravated by some fall
ures on the part OF mechanics. incom-
petent In capital and in business ex-
perlence, who ought not to have en-
barked In proprietary enterprises.
Then there were other causes OF stag
nation, among which In the early part
Of the season, was a general dulln ess

The builders lien law we propose TO
print In these sketches, and we expect
to demonstrate that 1t need not be q
hindrance any longer to practical and
successful builders, with sufficient
means to warrant their embarking In
building enterprises.
We expect to show. too, that the
Builders Exchange is grand institu-

nifty and that it would be profitable to
every contractor Of prominence mot
