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
infiamed 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 deafness
is the result, and unless the inf am
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

properly, and met her "improp perly"
there in February, 1893.
"Where did you go them" asked
Mr.. Wilson.
"I can't tell the place. l simply

the driver to take us to some safe
place. He took us close to the ele-
waited road, up towards Fifty second

Here Mr.. Wilson suggested that as 1t
wasnear the hour for adjournment and
he desired to take up an entirely diff

hardly worth while to proceed further

COMMITS SUICIDE.

House Yesterday Afternoon.
All Austin was Mortified late last
afternoon when it became known that
Mr.. Jim Sheeks had died at his own
hands. The particulars of this horri-
BILE matter, as cleaned by STATES
MAN reporter last night, was us fol-
lows:
Mr.. Sheeks left his home yesterday
morning as usual for the city. Not re-
turning for dinner his relatives sent
down town to find him. He could not
be located, however, and they We're
annoyed at his continued absence, but
thought not of the horrible discovery
that was in store for them. About
$50 last afternoon n negro boy en-
ployed at Mr.. Sheeks' home went down
to the stable iu the back yard to feed
the horses. AS he entered the stable
he saw the body of Mr.. Sheeks sitting
boldly upright in the carriage in the
buggy house. Speaking to him and
receiving no answer the boy approached
and made the horrible discovery
that Mr.. Sheeks was dead. A bullet
hole in one temple and correspond
ing one on the opposite side of the
head told only too well the fact that
Mr.. Sheeks was dead, and a pistol
lying in the bottom of the carriage
also conveyed the certain Intelligence
that the death was one of suicide.
AS to what caused the rash act on
the part of Mr.. Sheeks cannot be
trutnfully said. Ever since his faith
er's death, about month ago, he mas
been unusually melancholy. This
fact, in connection with the i'll health
he has been in for over a year, are the
only known causes for his rash act.
AS a practising attorney at the Austin
bar he commanded the respect and
esteem of all the citizens OF Austin,
and the sad intelligence of his death
will be the source OF universal sorrow.
Justice Barbour viewed the remains
last afternoon and will take testimony
in the case this morning.

PRESIDENT DOLE'S REPLY.

The most pregnant passage IN President
Dole's reply to Minister Willis request
that the Provisional Government hand
over the affairs of the islands TO the late
Queen is the following:
We do not recogniz. the right of the Presi-
dent OF the United STATES TO interfere in our do
mestc affairs.
Grover Cleveland is the first American
President to expose himself to such re-
buff. As Mr. Dole says, our policy has
been non-interterence with tie domestic
affairs of other nations. We have been
content to mind our own business. The
policy has worked well. and the first nota-
pie departure from it is disastrous.
President Dole examines the record of
the last year to see upon what grounds the
American President bases his claim of a
right to interfere. He does not find it in
any possible action of the Boston marines
If the American forces illegally assisted
the revOIutionists (Which is not admitied)
in eSta blishing the Provisional Govern
ment the Provisional Government is not
resD0n sible for their wrongdoing The
fact did not give the President of the
United States a right TO overthrow the
Provisional Government. The only way
Of redress a. the disposal of the American
Government was to discipline its own Off
GERS. If there was any controversy over
the matter it was between the Queen and
the American Government. not between
the latter and the Provisional Govern
ment.
President Dole does not claim to be at
the head of great power. but of SOW
ereign power. He cannot oppose force to
the United States. but can deny the right
of the United States to overwhelm the
Government he represents with force.
This letter takes the edge off the Ha-
waian question. President Cleveland will
accept the law as laid down. In due time
the Islands will form a close political
union with the United States. but prob
ably not while Nr. Cleveland is at the
head of The latter Government
The morning call., 1894-01-14
KEEP THE PLEDGE.

The CALL has prepared a pledge for
boys not to sm oke cigarettes until reach
ing the age of q. which boys in school and
out will be invited to sign The future of
good many boys depend upon their action
IN this matter. No boy should sign the
pledge with mental reservation about
keeping 1t. If he has doubts about his
ability to keep it he may sign. The fact
OF his being on record will give him
strength. But the boy who signs with the
intention of breaking the pledge will
thereby take downward step. He will
appear to the public not only as boy who
smokes cigarettes, but as boy who breaks
his pledges. Let US suppose man wishing
TO employ boy in a capacity requiring
stability of character should look over
the record TO see what boys have signed
and what have refused to sign; also to see
what boys have kept and what broken
their pledge? Does any boy who has either
refused to sign or who has signed and
broken his pledge think he would stand
much chance of that place?
1t is often the lot of boy to determine
while quite young whether he will be one
of the employed or one of the unemployed.
Most men who find themselves at middle
age without money or employment can
trace their way back to some turning point
from which they took the wrong track.

THREADBARE AND RAGGED.

Jerry Simpsons speech in favor of free
trade is both thresdbare and ragged The
argument that the farmer is not benefited
by the creation of home market for his
products has ceased TO influence even the
farmers. That is a ragged argument
which is based upon the fact that ragged
coat is in existence. Farmers are much
like other toilers. Some of them make
money. some make bare living and some
are always on the ragged edge. Congress
man Simpson found one of the latter and
bought his coat to be displayed in the
House as evidence that the protective
policy has not made everybody rich. Mr..
Simpson seemed to think the fact that
farmer had hauled corn twenty-five miles
to sell it in our boasted home market was
proof that the home market did the farmer
no good. Mr.. Simpson probably does not
remember the time when the best farmer
could do with his corn was to sell it for
fuel. Now the best frightful example
Mr.. Simpson could find could sell his corn
for cash.

INDEMNITY LANDS.

A number of cases are now pending in.
volving the rights of settlers upon what is
known as indemnity lands granted to the
Southern Pacific Company by Congress.
The facts of the cases, as stated by the
settlers in a communication to the Interior
Department, are these:
An act of Congress dated July %, 1866.
granted the Southern Pacific Company the
right to a certain amount of land within
limits including a. much larger area than
the lands granted the company.
The Southern Pacific Company is ad-
mitted to have placed its map of definite
location on the Sd of January, 1867.
No attempt was made TO select the lands
in question until the 2Sth of March, 1891, a
little more than twenty-foGr years after
the map of definite location was placed.
1t also seems to be established that the
work OF selection was to proceed under the
direction OF the Secretary of the Interior.
There is. we believe, no dispute as to the
facts above stated. The settlers contend
that during the period of twenty-four
years before the Southern Pacific Company
had made its locations the lands were open
to the public. 1t Is eontended. also. that
as the work OF selection was to be made
