Death OF j. L. Martin.

Having passed the three score years
and ten allotted as the limit Of hu.
man life, Mr.. j. L. Martin AN old reef
dent OF Elko county; closed his eyes
on earthly scenes at his home on
South Fork yesterday. Mr.. Martin
left his eastern home many years ago
and settled IN Idaho where he accu.
mulated a good deal Of property in
the teaming business. Misfortune
overlook him and he lost everything
besides beng heavily involved in
debt after his property was gone.
About 1870 he came to Elko and re-
sided in the county up to the time OF
his death. He married here, and a
widow and two sons, Lawrence and
Xerxes, survive him. Mr.. Martin
oHened considerable property III Ell.
ko and ranch on South Fork. Be.
sides thus he had paid up insurance
policyin the Mutual Life amounting
to about $1,000. The property in Ell
ko county he bequeathed to the sur
viving widow, and the insurance pol
icy he willed to a former wife and
her children now residing in the State
of Maine. -- o..
The remains we're brought In this
afternoon: and the funeral will take
place from the Presbyterian church
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
INDEPENDENT extends it's sympathies
to the bereayed wife and children.
May they be comforted by Him who
doeth all things we'll.

MORTGAGE DEBT.
Increase OF Oes, 200, 900 in Nebraska
-.. in the Last Nine ;Yonrs.;

1890
The Republican papers have told
us that the mortgages are nearly all
paid and Nebraska is nearly out of
debt. They have he'd 80 persisteutly
that many people have been deceived.
The reports Of the bureau Of labor
recently published explodes this fairy
tale and brings us face to face with
condition instead Of theory. By
that report, the truth of which no.
body will deny, the mortgages on
real estate alone in the State amount
to the enormous total OF 1854, 0OO, 900,
while in 1890 they we're only $780,
100000, showing an increase Of s22..
100000 in nine years. All the pay.
ments, all the foreclosures, all the
evictions, all the wretchedness and
financial suffering Of the last nine
years have served only to increase
our mortgage Indebtedness. During
that time we have had $4,000 fore
closures in the the State, amounting
in the aggregate to $4,000, 600, and
still our mortgages on real estate
alone are almost equal to the entire
assessed valuation Of the State. ADD
to this mighty Indebtedness the chat
tel mortgages and the unsecured
debts Of the people, then add the pub
lie debt of the State, the counties, the
townships, the municipalities, the
school districts and the corporations,
and you can form some faint idea of
the financial condition of this great
and prosperous commonwealth.
A fair examination Of other States
will show about the same state of az
fairs, yet the States and the Nation
are spending money as they never
spent it before. This money must
all be psid some day, and how it can
be paid urder present conditions is
problem great enough to startIe the
wise men OF the country. The day OF
reckoning is surely coming and woe
be to our financial managers when
that day comes. When the civil war
broke out, the country was compare
tlvely free from debts, while today. all
the property in eight, il sold under
the hammer, would hardly pay it's
indie btedness. Omaha World. Herald.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of tho ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation 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

HOME FROM CUBA.
lille Campbell Who Was Four
teen Months With Hoods
Immunes.

Hile Campbell is at home again
after serving fourteen months with
Hoods immunes on garrison duty
in Cuba. Hile is one Of the Bryan
boys who enlisted for the war with
Spain, and was mustered out at
Camp Meade in Pennsylvania n
few days ago. He enlisted at Gal
weston and embarked from New
Orleans for Santiago. His was the
first volenteer regiment TO land at
that point after the surrender and
the last 10 leave the Island, being
on garrison duty at as many as
fifteen or twenty places in the pro-
vince of Santiago Cuba during the
time. Hile was a corporal, but
was in the detached service under
General Leonard Wood most of the
time, and engaged in furnishing
the Cubans with supplies. His
regiment sailed from Jibara on the
north coast Of Cuba for the United
States.
About twenty days ago, before
leaving Jibara, Hile was wounded
in a skirmish with guerrilas. He
went out with party to explore a
cave near that point and was fired
on unexpectly from a block house
| by the guerrilas who were driven
from their position by the party O
Americans. Hile received a flesh
wound in the right side from ,
/ Mauser bullet. He has experience
ed but slight inconvenience with
the wound which is still under
treatment.
Hile's regiment was styled tn,
boy regiment owing TO the youth
fulness Of the men and officers
Col. Duncan Hood himself beinl
called the "boy colonel" Col
Hood and his officers will probably
raise a regiment for service in th,
Philippines, in which event Hill
thinks be will probably enlist il
the service of Uncle Sam again.
The immune regiment did high
y effective service in cleaning u
and Strengthening out the Sontiag
province which has been the mos
orderly and well managed sine
the surrender. Among other wor
done by the men Of the regimen
was the raising Of a Spanish gur
boat from the Mayari river. Tn
