Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions 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 is inflamed you have
a rumbiing sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

A VICIOUS DOG.
r. E. Brown Bitten on the Arm by
Newfoundland.

While r. E. Brown was walking
past Peter Sanger's livery barn on
Rock street this forenoon on his way
to the gas works, Mr.. Sanger's New
foundland dog sprang upon him with
out warning or provocation and sunk
his fangs into Mr.. Browns left arm.
The brute's teeth passed through the
heavy clothing which Mr.. Brown
wore and tore the skin from his arm
an inch long and half an inch wide1
Mr.. Brown returned, and on his way
up street met DR.. Webster, who pre-
scribed for him, and the injured mem
Der was dressed at J. G. Thro's drug
store, and the wound is not apt to
cause any trouble.
The dog has long been known as
possessed of vicious temperament,
and it has been kept chained part of
the time. Last week he bit a little
girl Mr.. Brown complained to the
poll" and Officer Kelley called upon
Mr.. Sanger and received a promise
from him that the dog would be shot
before night.

FISHERMEN WARNED.
Fish Warden Hawkins Makes Visit to
Eagle Lake.

Game and Fish Warden Fred Haw-
kins took a trip to Eagle Lake and
found large number of people en-
gagged in catching crappies, perch
and pickerel through the ice, among
whom were about sixty from this
city. 1t is lawful for person to fish
through the ice with one line and
hook held in the hand, but any other
way is contrary to the law. The
warden found fish house and sew
eral parties using tip-ups. He made
everybody comply with the law, and
warned them if they were caught
again violating the law he would
prosecute them.
Mr.. Hawkins states that he will
visit the different lakes in this vicin-
ity frequently in order to see that the
law is complied with. 1t is in this
way that good fishing can be main
tanned, and the popularity of the
lakes prolonged.
The fishing at Eagle Lake was
good Yesterday and several fine
strings of large crappies were taken
out. Among the other fishermen was
a former county attorney of Blue
Earth county, who used fine pole
and reel. Whether he was trying to
cast for black bass through the ice
the others could not determine. He
had one pickerel when last seen.

afternoon to make an assessment Of
the benefits and damages arising from

Clark streets. w. L. Comstock was
present to represent S. L. Terry,
Jno. N. Hall was represented by Thos.
and Evan Hughes, and Ivan Parry
represented his mother, Mrs. E. Parry,
Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Parry presented
written objections to the levying
of any assessment against their
property. Mis-. Terry took the ground
that her property was not benefited,
but was damaged. Mrs. Parry took
the same ground, and explained that
she thought this from the fact that
the street has been lowered twelve
feet in front of the property, render
ing access to the lot difficult and dan
gerous, and from the fact that the
present unsightliness of the lot is
caused by it's high elevation. Mr..
Hall objects to being assessed the full
depth of his property, as he says that
only part of it is on the street i'm
proved.
The total amount to be assessed is
$2,O15.13, and the rate will be seventy
cents per front foot.

A DESIRABLE INVENTION.

Q. Odjard, of the firm of Odjard &
Knott, has invented fan, by which
the heat from the dry room is forced
to the three work rooms of the fac
tory. This does away with the nee
essity of stoves, and thus lessons the
danger of fire and makes the insur-
ance rates less. The arrangement is
one that will prove a profitable one
for the company.
