Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the deceased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbilng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken cut and this tube restored to its nor
mai condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an infamed
CONDITION of the mucous surfaces.

any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

"AJAx," THE NEW B. & NJ. ENGINE.


The new B. & NJ. narrow gauge engine
which was received from the company's
car shops at Plattsmouth, Neb., a few
days ago, has been put to work on the
Lead passenger run. The boys have
named her the Ajax because she is a
record breaker. The engine and tender
weigh about twenty-five tons, the weight
of the engine proper being upon six
drivers, thirty inches in diameter. She
was designed by and constructed under
the personal supervision of Master
Mechanic Hawksworth, who brought
into requisition all the approved appli-
ances, and realizing the necessity of
having ample and secure braking equip
ment, gave this feature special attention.
Every part was made of the best material
to be had and the machinery fitted with
great care, so that thus far she has
worked smooth and perfectly satisfac-
tory. She has a large boiler and CYL
inder, which afford superfuous power,
and the fire box being extra large there
is no trouble experienced in keeping up
steam. She Is equipped with an extra
large sand box and double pipes on each
side of the engine, which put sand under
the drivers, fore and aft. She also has
a steam bell ringer, which rings the bell
continuously, an essential feature on the
Lead run. The braking power is perfect.
Besides having the Westinghouse air,
which is very effective, the water brake
a be used at any time and will hold a
heavy train down the steep grade with
ease. There is also a hand brake upon
the engine that may be used to set all
the drivers, and a hand brake upon the
tender, and either n of the brakes
may be used with perfect ease should
the others give way. With such pre-
cautions there is no danger at all of ac-
cidents. The "Ajax'' will be used upon
the Lead run and the "Betsey'' will go
to Plattsmouth to be remodeled.-Dead-
wood Times.
Last Monday night a stock car es-
capped from the sidetrack at Edison, and
collided with No. S about a half mile
east of that place, smashing the head
light, and doing other damage which
necessitated sending to Oxford for an
other engine.
The wind blew a car off the sidetrack
al Culbertson, yesterday afternoon.

Causes Which Promote Growth of Towns

Causes Which M Growth of Towns.
The chief causes which promote the
growth of towns and cities are primarily
their location as entrepots for the prod
ucts Of industry and commerce. They
become great and populous because they
are SO situated as to furnish convenient
markets for the exchange Of products.
Becoming oenters Of labor and trade,
they attract vast numbers who procure
a livelihood by buying or selling for
themselves or others, Or in manufac-
lures requiring materials Of differ
emit kinds brought from different di-
rections and long distances. People are
attracted to cities in the many diyersi-
fed ways by which men are brought to-
gether in single communities for all
their purposes Of business, Of labor, Of
travel, in enterprises Of all kinds, and
in all the methods which a partnership
of human interests involves

At the rain meeting held in the city
hall, yesterday afternoon, the committee
that went down to Beatrice reported IN
favorably. That the rainmakers were
more or less takers. That they thought
is was a good advertising scheme for the
Rock Island railway, and a money max
ing scheme for the alleged rainn1akers.
As the rainmakers wanted money to
the extent of $500 without guaranteeing
any rain, the committee thought it not
advisable to buy such an expensive pig
in a poke.
