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 inhamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have rulnbling 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 condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

U. s. Register et the Land Office
[From the Tncson star. ]


 The Star is pleased to chronicle the appointment of Hon. NJ. R. Moore, of Pinal county, as register of the United States land office at Tucson. MT. Moore is well and farorably known in southern Arizona. lie was member of the Assembly from Pinal county of the 18th Arizona Legislature. He made a record Of which bs has just cause to be proud being admitted by that body as one of it's ablest members. Capt Moore was formerly a aresideat of Kansas, where he made a good reputa- tion and came to Arizona for his health He was wounded in the war and made cripple for life, and his appointment coming to him is just and rightful recognition of an old soldier.
 Capt. Moore as register and Col. Bowman as receiver of the U. s. land office will make good team. Both are old soldiers, well qualified, genteel and accommodating in every way. They will fill the offices with the same degree of credit and ability to the public as have their predecessors. MT. Trippel has shown himself to be ad- mirably adapted to the duties of the office he has filed with credit to him self and the public service. The Star takes pleasure in according Register Trippel credit for the faithful perform ance of duty, while we welcome Capt Moore with cordial greeting to the important official trust.

Cigars and Cigarettes.

Five billion cigars and three billion seven hundred and fifty million ciga- rettes were smoked in this country in the last fiscal year. Assuming that there are 25,0O0, 900 males of smoking age, this means 200 cigars and l50 ciga- rettes for each one of them. Thus while the gross figures suggest that the people of these United States, with out regard to sex or age, smoke cigars and cigarettes necessarily from rising until bedtime, the per capita figures show that there must be many more non-smokers than we think, and that the smokers are as rule not given to excess. It appears further that while the consumption of cigars increased by 50,000,000 over the previous year, the consumption of cigarettes decreased by 400,000,000. It is probable that the bicycle, which has had such amazing effect in decreasing the sale and dis tribution of books, is also chiefly re- sponsible for this tremendous decline in the popularity of cigarettes.

Mary had q little lamb,
 Its fleece was white as snow; It strayed away one Summer day Where lambs should never go. Then Mary sat her quickly down, And tears streamcd from her eyes; She never found the lamb because She did not advertise.

And as the people passed along And did not step Co buy Iohn still sat down aud smoked his pipe And blinked bis other eve.

opinion of an Eminent Jurist,

Ballot reform in New York was necessary, says an eminent jurist, be- cause mere politicians by trade, who had DO interest in government or politics except to enrich and aggrandize themselves, sought perpetual control. There are other excellent reforms be- sides that of the ballot. Conspicuous among them is the reform in dis ordered physieal system by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which eounteraets tendencies to serious disease bred by 6 deficiency ofyital stamina, irregularity of the bowels, stomach, liver or kidneys, and inquietade of the nerves. This sterling medicine, which has for near half q century won popular favor, not only for it's excellent qualities in a re- media. capacity, but aiso for its serviceable properties us medicinal stimulant.
