RESIDENCE BURNED.
The Dwelling Occupied by
Chaa. Robbins and Family
was Destroyed by
I'll Fire Today. >""

About 11:30 this forenoon the one
story frame building on Seventh
street between Broadway and
Second avenue south was discovered
OH fire and owing to the delay in
turning in the alarm, and the great
distance at which the building was
situated from the water supply the
fire department was unable to save
the building or it's contents. The
nearest hydrant was SO far away
that it required the hose of both
carts to reach it and although the
building was doomed before they
reached it, remarkably quick time
was made by the boys in getting a
stream of water. on the fire. -:
The building was the property of
William and Frank Wetherel, heirs
of the late Mrs. Mary Wetherel, and
was occupied by Chas. Robbins and
family. The origin of the fire is un-
certain, but is supposed to have
been started by one of the children
who was playing with the stove,
and as the interior walls were only
covered with paper, it is thought
the fire was started by the child
throwing Goals from the stove on
the paper. The youngster crawled
under the bed after the fire was dis
covered, and Mrs. Robbins had a
narrow escape rescuing it from it's
place of refuge.
The building and contents are a
total loss, with no insurance.

Deafness. Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot 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
|inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case OF deafness. (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
