mills, and the Washburn-CrosbyC Co., OPP

the purchase Of the entire property, and

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 condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inaamed you have 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 it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of 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

SCORED A POINT.

Col. Fl. A. Leonhauser scored one vic
tory over the opposition in st. Paul when
the board decided that for the present the
testimony taken before the court martial,
when seven members of the 18th Mime
sofa were convicted of rioting, should not
be admitted.
By this ruling the representative of
Gen. Young was in a measure debarred,
and throughout the day he was unable
to collect his scattered facts in such q
way that they would enhance the posi-
ton taken by his chief.
1t had been confidently expected by the
advocates of Gen. Young's side of the
question that the testimony given in the
court martial cases would be admitted
but when a typewriter copy was pre-
sented Lieut.. F. M. Catlin, representing
Col. Leonhauser, made strenuous objec-
tions, which were sustained.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF Fl 8, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

One day lately he killed a large one

snake and Moses ate ii. The other day
he brought a very large snake TO the
city, trying to sell its hide. There were
% rattles on it. The snake was very
poor, and Moses said it would not do to
eat. and he stuffed its hide and sold it
for a good price. Every year Moses
makes a good deal of money selling
snake oil. He says right down the
vertebrae of rattlesnake is a fatty
streak of flesh that makes an oil, when
fried, that win cure any case or rheu-

people he sells this rheumatic snake oil.
He has a long list of certificates from
people he has cured. Some of them are
from intelligent whites, who declare
that the oil has cured them when all
other remedies have failed. He sells a
vial of the oil for one dollar and guar
