SUTTERVILLE SLOUGH.
Road Overseer Hamilton Wanted it
Repaired,
But Thought the City Should Do it
The Supervisors, However. Say
1t is a County Structure.

At yesterday mornings session of the
Board of Supervisors. Road Oyerseer
Hamilton reported to the board that the
bridge over Sutterville Slough was in a
pad condition and needed repair. He
claimed the city should keep it in repair.
as the city had control of the slough as a
drainage canal
Chairman Greer said he would be GLAD
TO believe that it was the duty of the city
to look after the bridge, but as it is on
county road he thought it the duty of the
Oyerseer to attend to it.
MIR. Hamilton was under the impression
that the bridge needed not only re-
planlling but new supports as the founda-
ton seemed to be weak, and he wanted
an expert sent down there to examine
the bridge.
Supervisor Miller said the county
always had a bridge there. and would
have TO maintain it there whether or not
the city had a canal. 1t was Il county
bridge, anyhow, and the county should
repair it.
Supervisor Jenkins held that it was the
! OVerseer's duty TO have bridges in his
district repaired whenever necessary.
without appealing 10 the Supervisors.
CHAIRMAN Greer said that when he was
Road OVerseer in Mr.. Lincoln's district
he always kept the bridge in question re-
paired. As matter OF fact, the road was
declared county road after the CITY be-
gan to use the slough us part of it's drain
age system. 1t was not a canal. in fact.
but natural slough
In reply to Mr.. Jenkins Mr.. Hamilton
sad ne mad never repaired the bridge
since he became OyerSeer four years ago
Then" said Supervisor jenkins, Mr..
Greer must have done some good work
there While he was Overseer.n
That's what did, replied the Chair
man. and l did the work with my own
hands,"
The Chairman then said that if there
was no objection he would direct Over
seer Hamilton to repair the bridge.
There was no objection and it was so
ordered.
The remainder of the morning session
was devoted to examining bills.
Al the afternoon session, Frank d.
Ryan, one Of the committee having
! charge OF the arrangements for the His
! torical Exhibit, appeared before the Board
ana asked for permission to use any old
archives or relics that might be in the
| possession OF the county, for the exhibit.
Mr. Ryan said he did not know vet
whether or not there was anything that
would be Of interest in the exhibit, but
! % INC GoaIu mig uoL De III session at q
time when something was wanted, he
| put in the request now.
/ Chairman Greer assured Mr.. Ryan
! that the board would only be too glad to
! give its consent for the use OF ANYTHING
that was not county record. The rec
ords were sacred and could not be dis
turbed.
The other members expressed similar
opinions.
MIR. Ryan expressed himself as salts
fed and departed.
Alter auditing number of bills, the
board adjourned until to-day.

surance Company Settles.
The promptness with which the New
York Life Insurance Company meets its
obligations was exemplified the other
day, when Anna w. Rohr, daughter OF
Frank Ruhstaller of this city, received.
through julius Steinhart, agent of the
company, the sum of 50, 600, the amount of
the policy taken out by her late husband
a year and half ago.
The settlement of the entire matter re-
CURED but ten days time after the proofs
had been made to the company. and the
dispatch with which the matter was set
tied and the money forwarded has been
the source Of very favorable comment.

Henry Ward Beecher, his wife says in
the LADIES' Home journal, spoke thickly
when boy on account Of an enlargement
OF the tonsils. But through the efforts of
ore OF his teachers this impediment was
nnaily overcome. The lad was drilled
oaiiy, sometimes practicing an hour on
one word, until his utterance became
clear. But for this discipline he might
never have been qualified TO enter the
ministry.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infalned you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases outof ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an lnflamed con-
dition of the mucous.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking
