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 iniamed con
dition Of the mucuous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you heve a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an infiam-
ed condition Of the U surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Cartarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

SIN YEARS.
Aiyah TiIton Receives His Sentence in
the District Court.

Late yesterday afternoon Judge Mil
buru directed the sheriff to bring Alvah
Tilton into court. as he was ready to pass
sentence upon him in accordance with
what he considered just and proper un-
der the findings Of the jury last week.
When the young man arrived he was
asked il he had any legal reason to give
why judgment should not be pronounced
not be passed upon him.
His attorney Addressed the conrt i in
an earnest plea for clemency, and at the
conclusion OF the remarks, Judge Mil
burn reviewed the ease at some length,
concluding by making an order that the
prisoner be confined in the ~penitentiary
for a term Of six years. Tilton turned
pale, but showed no other signs Of emo
ton, but his father. who sat beside him.
buried his face in his hands. and re.
manned there some minutes. the last
stay to his nerves having given away. 1t
is figured that 4 years and 9 months will
be the actual time Tilton will have to
serve. with the lawful deductions for
good behavior, and thus the young man
may consider himself as having been
extremely fortunate.
Late in the evening Sheriff Hawkins
for Deer Lodge with Triton. and
by this time he has entered upon his
refIdence near that place.
