diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of Eustachian
Tubes. When this tube gets infiamed you have
a rumblng sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surface.

Have ounrantlned souaan.

The health officers of this city were
somewhat Hurried Friday when it
was learned that family of children
had arrived from Soudan and were
attending school here-the Soudan
schools having been closed on account
of an epidemic of scarlet fever which
is raging there at present. The
authorities decided that it would not
do TO subject our children to chance
of contagion from exposed quarters
and promptly did what was proper in
forbidding the attendance Of the
children and as near as possible plac-
ing strict quarantine over visitors
from the affected district.
While there may not be, possibly,
much danger in allowing friendly
intercourse between Soudanites and
our people, as the health authorities
at Soudan maintain a strict quaran-
tine over the affected residences. il
is nevertheless good policy to guard
against possible accidents.
An epidemic of scarlet fever in this
city would be a fatality which we
would long remember Considering
the fact that the population of this
city. almost 1900 souls, are encom-
passed in a very small space, an cpl
demic Of scarlet fever would spread
like wildfre.

The Crane Lake Portage.

The bill TO appropriate $4,000 from
the state treasury for the improve
ment of the Craneslake portage road
should pass as the highway needs
that and more to keep ii in condition
to accommodate the large amount of
traffic which will necessarily follow
the increasing operations in the Min
nesota and Canadian gold country.
A road to accommodate heavy wagons
over the portage is what is wanted
and the appropriation of $4,000
would furnish the same.
With the road in good condition
the county Of St. Louis would be
benefited greatly as much Of the
Canadian trade would come this way.
Our sister city, Tower, and Duluth
would be vastly benefited by the
extra business; Tower in a retail way
and Duluth in a wholesale line. A
large amount of machinery will be
sent to the gold country from now
until next fall and by going this way
much expense and delay can be avoid
ed. The d. & 1. r. has worked faith
fully for several years 10 improve the
road and much has been done by
them and the citizens of Tower TO
bring the business and travel by way
of Crane Lake instead of the Rat Por-
tage and other Canadian ways. The
Canadian lines of railways and boats
have also exerted themselves in get
ting trade but when it is considered
that several days more are required
to make the trip via Rat Portage
than via Tower, il is conceded the
latter route viii get the larger share
of the trade. The wholesalers Of Du-
luth have also interested themselves

Misses Sadie Cowling and Lila Polk

B. Goldsworthy did the prompting.
Geo. Cornell and Thos. Carey did the
cake walk very neatly to the edit
cation Of those present. They were
considerably hampered by the actions
of several clowns who actions were
anything but funny. Still, they gave
fair representation of a dance which
has set fashionable and exclusive
circles in cities all agog.
The band realized about $40 which
will be devoted towards the purchase
of needed instruments. The ladies
of the Guild served a delectable lunch
all the evening at the hall.

Those who have been contending
that the heralded improvement and
good 1893 times were not manifest in
Ely, were probably mistaken. In
fact we know they were mistaken.
With three cutting scrapes right
after pay day and the streets lined
with 'sjags" the city this week took
on its pre-panic appearance With
large pay days twice month and the
attendant festivities lasting in some
cases two weeks, the town should be
lively at all times, day and night.
Times must better or why should
every man in town who is not engaged
in other pursuits, think OF opening a
saloon or meat market; why should
every bankruptst Hebrew in the
northwest look with longing eyes
toward Ely?
However, while we are on the sub
ject. let US intern all that Ely has
saloons enough and few TO spare.
We also have merthants enough and
they are all good citizens who came
TO make their home here and
have stood with the town through
thick and thin. They can handle
all the business and more. They
deserve the patronage OF the
people of this town. and get it
from all faiT-minded citizens Give
these migratory birds the cold
shoulder, They are here today and
gone tomorrow, Our meachants are
horest and will give you redress if
purchases are not as represented.
What redress have you with these
bankrupt shoddy goods Jews?
A few weeks ago we remarked few
lines on the boys who frequented the

intoxicants. Our words had some
effect and the saloon practice has
been partly stopped and the boys

On this occasion we take pleasure

language and those who cannot even
laugh in English. However, be this
as it may. we hope good set Of men
will hop onto the band wagon and be
elected TO Ill the various city Offices.

County Attorney Phelps has ten
dered his resignation to the county
commissioners, the same TO take
effect in March. This is a queer pro-
ceeding all must allow In an article
trying TO set himself Alright before
The people who elected him. Phelps
says the salary is too small and that
be was aware of these conditions be-
fore election but that he had prom
ises of raise. Now the question
arises, who made the promises as only
the legislature can change the salary:
The salary is now $500 a year and
there are several good men in the
county willing to hold the position
for this salary. Why did be not re-
fuse the Office when rendered him
before election and give some Of the
other aspirants a chance? In our
opinion, this is a childish act and
one which will not rebound to The
credit Of Mr.. Phelps. The county
commissioners should PROMPTLY &C
cept the resignation. The assertion
is made that Phelps has trick VI
his sleeve which he has not yet
shown. Watch him.
