Deafness. Cannot be 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 bv constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by infamed condition OF tho
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t 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 des-
troyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur

Honorable Graduates From the State

The degree of doctor of medicine was
conferred upon fourteen medical students
OF the University of California last night at
Odd Fellows Hall. which was crowded on
the occasion of the commencement exer-

Professor Washington Dodge made an
address on behalf of the faculty. In which he

welcome TO the ranks Of the medical pro-

professor, us an exacting one, and is no
sinecure. IncessaDt labor is required, and
q great responsibility rests upon those who
follow 1t. Many duties are imposed upon
Its yotaries. and constant application is re-
quired. There is much to learn, and en-

circumstances, and you must not expect to

of professional life you will be made aware
of soon enough, and when they do come

not unduly depressed thereby.
There is brighter side to the medical
profession, however. 1t is not calling the
gloomy, but noble profession. There is
much satisfaction in aiding humanity. The
profession was founded thousands of years

rewards are more enduring than in any

HOOSIER RILEY.
A Very Interesting Performance Given
Last Night.

A Very Interesting Performance Given
Last Night.
James Whitcomb Riley made his second
appearance here last night and repeated the
success of the night before.
At o'clock the lower part Of the house
was packed while the galleries were CON-
forsably filed.
Mr.. Riley was in one of his pleasantest
modes and the audience was kept one MIN
ute on the broad grin and the next almost
ready to cry as the poet brought out some
pathetic lines in his simple way.
The first piece entitled "Poetry in Hod-
den Gray" was little bit of romance in
the HOosier State and the whole stOryswas
wonderfully portrayed by Mr.. Riley.
1t dealt with his native place and was a
story from real life. telling of the love
farmer had for little girl, lis adopted
sister, and how. after loving her many years
In silence, he at last is about to propose,
and at the critical moment the girl, looking
upon him only as a brother. tells him Of her
love for Farmer Browns son.
She marries the other fellow and goes
away and is not heard from for many years,
but the Hoosier always bears a softIspot in
his heart for her. and finally finds her
widow and brings her back to his home.
Mr.. Riley. as the happy old bachelor,
told the story IN rhyme, and did it exquis-
itely.
His next piece was from "Real-life
People," and not a sound was heard from
the audience as he told in his quaint man
ner the pathetic story of an old German
who. by hard labor, had made himself
independent but had become deranged aud
lived for fifteen years without saying a
word Tor fear he would be killed
The poet told the tale in broken German
and 1t seemed as II the old man was telling
IL himself, 10 was so natural
This was followed by Tales by Our Lit
tie Folks" Mr.. Riley taking the part of
little boy, causing the audience to roar with
laughter.
His last effort. "Hoosier Eccentric was
an exceedingly humorous one ana gave the
clever poet good chance to portray his
iavorlte character, being nomely tale of
now ne Tried TO woo and win the Widow
Gray and finally won her daughter.
MIR. Riley was in thorough sympathy with
the part and the audience was with him.
The rest Of tie entertainment was very
good, Miss Denny's singing and Mr..
Jamlu's nocturnes on the violin being ex-
cellent.

Thomas l. McClung. this sense l mean IL Is
dangerous. In playing baseball man is
liable to get hit with a bat or ball. While
rowing shell. an oarsman is liable to be
overturned In the water. In the same way,
while playing football player can break
his nose, sprain an ankle, or dislocate
shoulder.
II might therefore call 1t very rough
game. But, believe ME, il is not nearly so
rough or dangerous as it used to be. The
football of our youth was much rougher.
while the players rOmped and Jumped,
fought, kicked and tussled over an uneven
field for the possession of the rubber bag.
Then there was no proper management,
and no well-deined and easily understood
rules, consequently knocks and bruises and
sprains were much more frequent.
Besides, formerly the men were not
properly trained and prepared for the
game; consequently they oVerexerted
themselves at times and injured their
physical systems. Now there is syst tenn
ate training through which all players
must pass before they can engage in con-
test. That inures them to knocks and
blows and bruises and 10 loDg-continued
exertion without being fatigued.
You ask what portion Of the game Is the
most dangerous. Well, l consider the tack
liug the part in which men are most liable
tH get injured. Sometimes the danger is On
the side of the tackler and sometimes on
that Of the man tackled. Il is a case Of the
contact Of force with foTce, and the strength
Of the human body is very great. This
makes the game exciting. but il is rough.

you seldom hear of accidents on The

that they are always very slight. A man is
liable to break his nose. sprain an ankle or
dislOcate shoulder. This is especially so in
tackling. Such accidents / have mentioned
are liable to take place in all athletic
sports.
II have played in the football field for a
long time and engaged in many spirited con-
tests, but have never received any other
hurt than few slight bruises or scratches,
which only gave me temporary incon-
venience. We are strong enough and not

Nobody was hurt seriously by the shaking

was handled by Captain Houdlette.

to see not only the general results of foot
