Fast Time to Colorado.

- A n:w through Sleeping Car line between
St. Lofts and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash-Rock Island Short
Line, May 10th, 1893. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave St. Louis on Wabash train
No. 3, at go a. M, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at II. 30
a. IN. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between ST. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 245 p M, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at 6l5.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only I'M
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Mssouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on ap
plication.

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 condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumblins
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 its normal con-
dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
