MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. PA special
from Fergus Falls, Minn., says: In
view of the cases which the Northern
Pacific is bringing against a large
number of the settlers in this vicinity,
C. F. Hanson has written the secretary
of the interior to find out if there was
any possibility Of the government de-
Tending it's patents in the courts. The
reply indicates that a government pat
ent is by no means a warranty deed.
The acting secretary, Thomas Ryan.
writes as follows: "You are advised
that the government has no interest
whatever in these controversies, pat
ents having issued for the lands, and it
would be utterly impossible for the
government to defend the title con-
veyed by it in every instance where
it is attacked. The title conveyed by
the government is not warranted and
the patentee gets no better title than
the government itself may have at the
time it patents the land"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflammed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Euste echian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammatio can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine case out of ten
are caused by catarrh. which is moth
ing but an inflamed 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

A Boer force is threatening Chief
Kama and Chief Lienwa, who are loyal

country lies to the extreme northwest
Of the Transvaal and includes Bechu-
analand. 1t seems a gross mistake for
the Beers to provoke war among the
natives. The probable explanation is
that the Boer force intends to destroy
the railway to Bulowayo, which runs
through Kama's country, and thus pre-
vent any attempt of Colonel Plummer's
column going to the relief Of Mafeking.
Already there is talk of a Rhodesia
