SAYING THE UMArILLA.
The Steamship VIII Be Tosved to a Dry
dock To- Day.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Oct. 13.-
The big pumps aboard the half-sunken
steamer Umatilla worked to perfection
this morning, and as a consequence the
wreckers found it possible to move the
vessel shoreward over $50 feet, thus plae-
ing it in position to be easy of access to
divers and repairers, who will com plete
the work of patching the hull, that the
water may be entirely pumped out. Here
tofore it had been impossible to make
much progress on the vessel owing to the
fact that several of the punctures were in
places that could not be reached by the
workmen. This obstacle has now been
overcome. By tomorrow morning the
vessel will be in condition to be towed to
drydock.

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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachan Tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have runbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by eatarrh. which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
