Deafness Can Not BE Cured

by local applications, as they can not 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 infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets indamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

STATE AFFAIRS
And Capital City News of State
Interest.
Asse Ssme nts.

The recent decision of the supreme
court with regard to taxation has cre-
ated not little agitation in many of the
counties of the state, fact which is
evidenced by the number of letters the
attorney general is receiving asking
for some solution of the difficulty into
which the commissioners and county
and township assessors have been
plunged by the ruling of the court that
railroads can not be compelled to pay
full valuation assessment while private
individuals pay on one-third or one
fourth valuation. The present rate of tax
alton for state taxes is fixed by the legis-
lature. The county commissioners agree
upon the valuation of property as a
basis from which the assessor shall make
his returns In this manner a certain
amount of revenue is secured in the way
of state taxes for state purposes. The
amount now required is over a million
dollars. The adjustment of the real and
personal property tax to the basis of
the railroad assessment would bring the
amount up to over three millions of
dollars, which far exceeds the demand
and at the same time makes a high rate
of taxation for the people If the rail
road assessment were placed on the same
basis as that of other property, from so
to IS per cent of actual value, the re-
turns in the state taxes would be made.
quate. What will be done remains to
be seen and many county officials are
waiting to hear from the attorney gen
eral before going any further in the
matter.

And exc it waggled its weary chin.
