considerable numbers In the south, In
Florida especially. In St. Augustine and

II has taken just IL years to convert
Persia into a nation of cigaret smokers.
Before that time cigarets were unknown,
all the smoking being by "kalians" or

Turkey ''cigaret tobacco" into Ghilan,

Another life wrecked-another soul destroyed-through the machi- nations of an unscrupulous and gay Loth arlo, who took advantage of the husbands absence, to practice his begui)inG ways and fascinating manners, on q weak, unsophicated and unsuspeeting wife. In short while it will be the same old story, the deceiver will tire of and desert his victim, and she will learn, when too late, of his utter baseness and the depth of degradation to which he has dragged her. The experience and fate of the thousands of vain and frail women who have been lured to their ruin by fattery and fair promises, seems 10 have been lost on many, as they follow hlind- ly in the footsteps of those who have gone before.

c. v. Peery started to Oklahom.

c. V. Peery started to Oklahoma last Saturday morning on visit to his father. He informed the writer that the country east of St. Johns had been visited by more copious rams than for a number of years past, and that from the top of the mesa just east of St. Johns to the Datils, grass was never better. This is certainly encouraging to those engaged in the stock industry of that region. Their losses this win- ter, unless it should prove extraor- dinarily severe, is bound to be light, and on account of good feed the percentage of calves next spring ought to be above the average,

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 by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachion Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con- ditioD, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The thread that binds us to life is most frequently severed ere the meridian of life is reached in the case of persons who neglect obvious means to renew failing strength. Vigor, no less the source of happiness than the condition of long life, can be created and perpet- uated where it does not exist. Thou sands who have experienced or are cog misunderstanding many physicians of eminence-of the effects of Hostetter's s Stomach Bitters, bear testimony to it's wondrous efficacy as creator of strength in feeble constitutions. and debilitated and shattered systems. A steady per formance of the bodily functions, re- newed appetite, flesh and nightly repose attend the use of this thorough and standard renovant. Use no local tonic represented to be akin to or resemble it in effects in its place. Demand the gen. uine, which is an acknowledged remedy for indigestion, malaria, nervousness, constipation, liver and kidney com plaints and rheumatism.

A NEW RAILROAD.

The people of Boise City are max
ing an effort to induce the Burling-
ton road, now seeking a tide-water
outlet, to choose a route that will
take the road through that place.
The choice of that route, in pre-
ference TO the Salmon River route,
would undoubtedly be to the best in
terests of the company, as it would
run through better agricultural,
and be contiguous to a better min
ing region, than the Salmon River
route. 1t would cross Big and Lit
tie Lost River valleys and open the
agricultural country between there
and Blackfoot, run near the min
ing camps of Era, Houston, and
the big copper belt, skirt the north
ern edge of the lava beds, cross the
valley Of Big and Little Wood Riv-
ers and Silver Creek, and be nearer
the Wood River mines than the
Oregon Short Line. 1t would run
the full length of Camas Prairie,
one of the finest farming regions in
Idaho, and this district is destined,
in the near future, to develop one of
the largest mining camps in the
state. It would develop the Gold
Belt, the Big Smoky, Atlanta and
Rocky Bar mining camps, besides
furnishing an outlet for immense
quantities Of lumber that would bt
manufactured in the Smoky and
South Boise country. In fact the
route offers SO many advantages
that if the Boise people only pre-.
sent them in a proper manner, they
are almost sure TO have the road
built through the capital. Boise
would then boom as it never did
before. The Oregon Short Line, in
the selection of route through this
state, chose the most forbidding one
to the eye of an eastern tourist that
could have been selected, almost its
whole course in the state being a
succession of sage brush plains and
lava beds, barren and desolate look
ing as the desert of Sahara. This
has been bad advertisement for
the state. People passing through
on the trains, seeing only this kind
of a country, are very unfayorably
impressed with Idaho as a place to
make home. But if the route out
lined above is adopted by the Bur
| lington, it will pass through some
of the most beautiful portions of the
state.-Logan Review.
