A Strange Case.

In the latter part of 1873 young
lady died near Cleveland of disease
that had greatly puzzled the attend
ing physicians, the symptoms being
similar to rheumatism of the heart.
The post mortem revealed one of the
most remarkable facts to the medi-
cal profession. A large burdock bun
was found securely imbedded in the
heart, directly against the posterio1
surface of the aorto. 1t was com.
pletely enveloped with cystic tissue,
which had also covered all the large
blood vessels leading to and from
the heart. There is only one way of
accounting for the presence of the
bur. 1t had been breathed into the
air passages when the woman was a
child. The specimen was sent to the
museum of the Bennett Medical col
lege, Chicago. 1t has been inspected
by all the leading physicians of that
vicinity, and all unite in pronouncing
it the most extraordinary case on
record. Cor. st. Louis Republic.

Deafness Can't be Cured.

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 infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infiam.
ed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and the tube restored
to its normal condition, bearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed cOndi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.

THE COLUMBIA SURVEY.

The boad of engineers who start
today to examine the feasibility oI
government work at Three-Mile
rapids and Celtic falls have a most
important question to decide. 1t IL
not difficult 10 draw the conclusion
as to the necessity of the improve
ment, and it is not easy to see how
they can come TO any other agree
ment than that the commerce of the
Inland Empire demands it speedy
constructi' III they should re-
port adversely 1t would be question
ed Immediately as to what their
motives were, as no resident Of Ore
gon or Eastern Washington has been
SO bold a. to ever claim that the
Columbia river should not be open
ed 10 every way possible to the ad-
vantage of commerce.
Not only is the present but the
future to be considered. The
growth of the Inland Empire has
been exceedingly rapid during the
last five years, and the record of the
next five will be more remarkable.
A suitable sum has been appropria-
ted by he government, so that even
the minutest particulars can be
studied and perfectly reasonable
statement of conditions, needs and
cost can be made for the considera-
tion of the next congress. These
men who have been appointed are
supposed to be eminently capable
to reach just conclusion, and the
Northwest will closely watch their
movements and anxiously await
their recommendations. The Col
umbia is great waterway, and it
drains an immense country. The
Mississippi alone equals it in COM
mercial Importance of rivers within
the boundaries of the United States.
While complaints are made by
envious and less important sections
of the land than the country tribu-
tary to the Columbia, an impartial
consideration of absolute needs
would convince any unprejudiced
mind that the appropriations al
ready made were justified, and
that further large expense is entirely
warranted. Telegram, 22d.
