Great Bargains in Underwear a
the L. M. Co. Feb, 18th to 10th.

Carl l.. Stebbins, of Springfield,
Mass. arrived in the city, says the P.-I.
on his way to the Klondike. 1t is now
year or more since he was in Seattle,
and he says that he was not prepared
for so great change for the better.
"Seattle is on the tongue constantly
in the East" he said yesterday after
noon, land if talk is any criterion by
which to go, then the rush to Alaska
is yet in its infancy" Stebbins was
thunderstruck TO learn that what he
considered bedrock prices in the East
did not get down to the prices in Seat
tie. He purchased a rifle in New York
city at price considerably below the
regular retail figure. On arriving in
Seattle he went around to the stores
and found that in one instance he
could have purchased the same kind of
rifle for less money than he paid in
New York. In other places the price
was as low as in New York. Stebbins
lived at Lake Cushman for several
years.

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
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inham-
ed you have a rumbling 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 cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infaned condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness fcaused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
