 TIE elaborate provision for public schools is striking characteristic of state and territorial legislation in the far west. North Dakota estimates the ultimate amount of her school fund at somewhere between $30,000,000 and S40, ,000,000. Oregou's school fund is now $2,500,0O0. Idaho's school lands are worth nearly $7,000, ,000. Kansas holds nearly $7,000,0O in bonds for the benefit of her public schools. Mis- souri holds between $I,000,000 and 5, ,OOO, 900 for her schools. Oklahoma will one day have large school fund, and half dozen other western states and territories have many millions in- vested for the benefit of such funds. N. Y. Sun.

 REPRESENTATIVE TUCKER, of Vir- gina, whose resolution for constitu- tional amendment providing for the election of U.

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 infamed condition of the mucous Inn ing of the Eustachian Tube. When thls tube gets infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam- nation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed con- dition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars. free.
