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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
taChian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t 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 in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

FONTANA BARRACKS.
Washington Volunteers Sail Under Sealed Orders to
 AnUel Island

Company F of the Second Battalion of the Washington volunteers, at Fontana Barracks. received orders yesterday Dowell. No one knew the destination, as the instructions were sealed and not tn be opened until after the steamer had left the dock. It was a mystery to everybody, but no one asked any ques- uons, not even the officers. Many thought that this was to be a starter of the Wash ington men toward Manila and they eagerly hoped the Philippines was their destination. The steamer. however, land- ed them at Angel Island for temporary guard duty. This company of eighty-one men is officered by Captain Chester F. Miller, First Lieutenant Charles F. Book CT and Second Lieutenant George B. Dorr. During the time they were at Fontana Barracks there was not a sick or drunk en man in the company. These men come from Eastern Washington, are well up in drill and discipline, and are credit to the volunteer service.
 Lieutenant Colonel Fife is still protest ing against the repeated statements that the Washington volunteers are not likely to go to Manila. He says his command, of which he is very proud, is the equal in every respect of any regiment now here, and it is but an act of justice that the Washingtonians should be permitted to be among the representatives of the Pa cifc Coast in the Manila expeditionary forces.
 The rumor that the Washington men are soon to go into camp at the Presidio is not credited at Fontana Barracks where they have been located since they have been in San Francisco.

come the troopers, who appreciated the ministrations of the ladies to the fullest eXtert. Breakfast consisting of travel ing rations, had been issued at an ex- ceedingly early hour and the men were in condition to make way with every thing placed before them. Dinner and the unloading of the horses and equip age occupied fully two hours, so 1t was nearly o'clock when the men mounted and started out for the reservation.
 The troop was escorted to the slope just south and to the west of the new brick barracks, where saddles were re- moved and the horses turned loose to roam at will over the immense reserva- tion And how they enjoyed them selves. When their brides were slipped they were off like flash up the hill, roll ing and limbering up after their forty eight hours confinement in the cars The men were marched over to one of the barracks. where supper was awaiting them, after which they returned and pitched camp on the slope where they had halted. All the stables at the Pre- sidio are full, so the animals will have to be staked out, but as the artillery bat talions have gone into camp the men will probably be assigned to quarters in one of the barracks to-day.
 Troop G of the Fourth is expected down from Walla Walla in a few days which will make half the regiment. Their headquarters will be at the Pre- sidio. As the new troops are bringing their horses the officers at the post take it to mean that if they are ordered to Manila they will take their mounts with them,

 One of the most interesting cases that will come up before the general court martial to-day will be that of John Camp bell, fifer in the Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment, who has been under arrest ever since the regiment left Mt. Gretna, Pa. for cutting the brooches off negro strik- CT, who belonged to Company c of the Pennsylvania Artillery, which was then camped at Mt. Gretna.
 Campbell enlisted in the Tenth as a fifer, and truly he is said to have blown wonderful reed. but alas, there were times, not infrequent. when he was wont to blow the foam from too many beers It so happened that the captain of Battery c sent the colored striker to Altoona to purchase some whisky for the officers mess, and the negro was so unfortunate as to go into the same barroom where Campbell. who was already drunk, was just tossing off another.
