WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principle Cause is Durable but Cen
erallv Overlooked

The Principle Cause is Durable but GEN
erallv Overlooked
Many things may cause deafness, and
very often it is difficult to trace a cause
Some people inherit deafness Acute dis
eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
deafness But by far the most common
cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the
head and throat.
A prominent specialist on ear trou-
bles gives as his opinion that nine out OF
ten cases of deafness are traced to throat
trouble; this is probably overstated but
it is certainly true that more than halt
of all cases of poor hearing were caused
by catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose and
throat finds it's way into the Eustachian
tube and by clogging it up very soon af-
fects the hearing and the hardening OF
the secretions makes the loss of hearing
permanent, unless the catarrh which
caused the trouble is cured.
Those who are hard Of hearing may
think this a little far fetched, but any
one at all observant must have noticed
how hard cold IN the head will affect
the hearing and that catarrh if long neg
lected will certainly impair the sense OF
hearing and ultimately cause deafness.
If the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secretions
of catarrh, the hearing will at once great
ly improve and anyone suffering from
deafness and catarrh can satisfy them
selves on this point by using fifty cent
box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new
catarrh cure, which in the past year
has won the approval Of thousands of ca
tarrh sufferers as we'll as physicians
because it is in convenient form to use
contains no cocaine or opiate, and is as
safe and pleasant for children as for their
elders.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a whole
some combination of Blood root, GuaiacoI
Encalyptol and similar antiseptics and
they cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness
by action upon the blood and mucous
membrane of the nose and throat.
AS one physician aptly expresses it:
''You do not have to draw upon the i'm
agination to discover whetherh you are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; improvement and relief are ap-
parent from the first tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recommend them
They cost but fifty cents for full sized
package and any catarrh sufferer who
has wasted time and money on sprays
salves and powders will appreciate to the
full the merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tab

To the Editor:-There have appeared
recently in several papers reflections
upon the war record of Julian S. Carr,
of Durham. l deeply regret this, and
am sorry that there can be found in
all this good old State of ours any per-
son who would belittle the war record OF
as true man as ever fought in defense
of his country. / write to say that / en-
listed at the same time that Mr.. Carr
did, was a member of the same company
and the same regiment in the cavalry SER
vice. Mr.. Carr was in a number of bat
ties, and | had opportunity to see what
kind of mettle he had. He never finched
at the times that tried the souls of men,
nor did l ever know or hear of his shirk
ing a duty He was then the same gener-
Gus, liberal souled man that he is to-
day.
| recall an incident that shows the
magnanimity of the mans heart. On
one occasion, when we were doing skir-
mish duty, our horses became very sick
and unable to take us back. to camp.
/ am many years Mr.. Carrs senior, and
the march was so trying upon my health
as to make me sick. julie Carr, with
other soldiers walked back to camp, and
he, in the goodness of his heart, hired a
horse for me to be taken back to camp,
for which he paid another soldier the sum
Of $500.
Knowing the man as I have these many
years, and regarding him with the high
est esteem, / count myself happy In be-
ing able in these, the latter days of my
life, TO cast my ballot for my old comrade-
in arms, and call upon all the old boys
who wore the gray to fall in line, and
help roll up majority for him on the
9Th day of November.

Simmons.
Raleigh, N. c., Novemt

This great and gallant leader,
Is assailed on every hand
Not by loyal Democrats
In this good old State SO grand;
But by petty politicians,
And by pubs and pops and all
Whose chief characteristic
Is their vast amount of gall.
Simmons the gallant leader
Is our general captain, man,
And in every battle he
Is found, leader of the band.
Three times he's fought the gallant
Fight, and vict'ry he has won
And North Carolina has not
A more true beloved son.
He's net man of millions,
But when it comes to brains,
He tokes his seat on the front
Bench: and there f. NJ. remains;
He makes no flourish of trumpets,
He sings no filthy mud,
He is no fuss or feather
He is for the peoples good.
To Washington we'll send him,
There he will defend our cause,
And on all questions of right
Receive the Nations applause.
Senator Simmons we'll call him
For that will be his title,
And on questions great of Nation
Or State, his counsel will be vital.
No more of Marion Butler,
Drive the traitor to his doom,
And Treasurer Worth's bonding Carr
vii. not be whipped too soon,
The toadies they may fell Fat
And worship at Mammon's feet
But Simmons is the h>ro
That the Senate soon shall greet.
He is not worth millions in money
But tbs character that tells,
He's worth his millions in greatness
And that's the thing that tells.
tbs he the RAIDS and Pops hate
From that we judge our man
And let the hour be soon or late
We'll help him all we can.
He's the poor mans candidate
And the rich as we'll, and on
Lection day, his majority greatll swell
Then you'll hear the boom of cannon,
And the gladstone jubilee
In every humble cottage
From the mountains to the sea.
1t will be shout of joy
And loud the anthem swell
Fer we've whipped the RAIDS and pops
Ard we've done it mighty we'll"
Simmons! Simmons! great and right,
We've won a glorious fight,
Now that you're our Senator
Our women all feel so free.
They'll sing glad hallelujahs,
All from Dare to Cherokee.

A Pleasant School Ending.

The graduating class of the Genoa
public school held their closing exer-
cises on June in Genoa.
The carefully prepared programme
was pleasingly rendered. The address
was given by the Rev. Samuel Uns-
worth of Reno. Mr.. Unsworth is a
pleasing and useful speaker, and his
carefully directed words were well
taken by the many VINO were present.
Mr.. Waits idea of having a member
of our State University to address the
people on such an occasion seems to
be very good one, since it brings the
University into closer touch with the
people outside of Reno.
Surely the success of the common
schools of the State, tends directly to-
ward the enlightenment of the Univer-
sity. Let the custom be taken up by
more of our progressive schools.
The thesis of Miss Smart deserves
special mention, and the writer takes
pleasure in commencing her upon the
choice of her subject, her preparation
and delivery.
In all it was very pleasant and sue
cessful commencement.

New Uniforms.

The Gardnerville Brass Band made
their first appearance in their new Uni
forms at Genoa last Tuesday, onthe oc-
casion of Odd Fellows Day, and pre-
sented very neat appearance. Good
taste was displayed in the selection of
the garments, both as to style and
coloring, being plain and modestly or
nate with the exception of the drum
major. This character is ably assumed
by Billy King and is unsurpassed in
mastodonic gorgeousness. Though or
ganized but short time and composed
largely ofiuveniles, under the leader
ship of Geo. Brown, the band is render
ing good music and is gaining recog-
milton as one of the leading musical
organizations of the State.

Odd Fellows Day at Genoa.

The Odd Fellows of Carson Valley
selected Tuesday, June IL, as the ap-
propriate day upon which to pay their
respects to the dead.
The attendance was large, consider
ing the day selected, showing quite
coneiusively that there is deep and
growing interest among our people
for the occasion, all of which is refresh
ing to note, for busy as we are, we
ought to be willing to devote one day,
in year to the memory of our dead,
and to the contemplation that there is
a hereafter for each of us, as well as
those who have gone before.
The exercises at the church began
with song by the choir. Mr.. D. R.
Hawkins delivered short grafton ap-
propriate to the occasion. Rev. A. De
Witt Welty made few remarks after
which Henry Alderman in few felicit-
Gus words, paid a glowing tribute to
the memory of the late Anton Helm.
Then the procession formed in front of
the church and marched to the ceme-
terry.
The procession was led by the Gard
nerville brass band, next came the Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs, followed by
line of carriages. At the cemetery
prayer was offered and the exercises of
the day were concluded with playing
America" by the band. The assem-
blage was then dismissed that they
might decorate the graves of the de-
parted ones.

ing in a Box Factory.

True Van Sickle, formerly of Genoa,
but now among the leading students in
the Academic Department of the Uni
versity of the Pacific at San Jose, met
with a painful and serious accident
last Monday, the 18th of June.
The University closed for the sum-
mer vacation two weeks ago, and since
that time True has been employed in
the box factory at the Southern Pacific
depot.
Last Monday forenoon belt slipped
from one of the wheels and True STEP
ped up to re-adjust it. Just then part
of the gearing gave way, liberating an
immense driving shaft which flew out
ward with terrific force and struck
True on the right side, throwing him
against wheel and breaking one Of
his ribs. The blow rendered him in.
sensible and it was some time before
he regained consciousness.
A surgeon was called in and thu
broken rib set and bandaged and ther
True was taken to his home, 494 Souti
Sixth street, where he is resting easily
and comfortably as could be expected
Considering the nature of the acci
dent and the wreck of the machinery
it is wonder th:... he was not kills,

a shape resembling the latest idea il

Riverton is station on the Placerville
road, twenty-four miles this side of
that city. 1t is owned by Francis Frey,
formerly of Genoa, and is one of the
prettiest places in the mountains. 1t
is also popular place with the travel
ing public and the house is crowded
with guests. The State of California
will build a stone bridge across the
American river at that point this sum-
mer, and in addition to the regular
business Mr.. Frey will have to provide
food for twenty or thirty bridge build
ers the next three months. He has
everything about the station in excel
lent order, sets a splendid table, and
will in all probability make some
money this summer.
Joe Pete, the Indian murderer, was
at Meyers station, Lake Valley, about
month ago. There were some campers
there whom Mr.. Cello had given per-
mission to stop at the station. The
campers were from California and did
not know the Indian at the time, but
noticed that he was nervous and watch
full. The Indian carried rifle, pistol
and a knife. He went into the bar
room and remained there some time
He wanted to buy whisky and told the
he was from Reno. The
afterward described him, CIV
ing a very good description of Joe
Pete, including the scar on his neck
and the crooked finger on his right
hand. The Indian was undoubtedly
Joe Pete and, as he was in the house,
could have been captured without
much trouble. No one knowns where
Joe Pete is at present. butmany people
believe he is near Monitor, Alpine
Cal, with members of his tribe.

A CLOUDBURST.
Great Damage to Crops and bitches in
Smith Valley.
WELLINGTON, JUNE 10.

Dear Doc:
Here's scoop for you.
The rain did great damage here. A
steady downpour for three hours to-
day flooded the fields with debris and
ruined crops, cut and uncut. Several
hundred acres of hay in the fields
just as left by Mccormick mowers
was drenched by the muddy flood. In
the Wellington canyon the cloudburst
of four years ago was repeated and the
sides of the hills fairly rolled into the
bitches, filling them bank full with
dirt and rocks causing them to break
in many places, ETC., etc.
The road in Wellington canyon was
so damaged as to be impossible for a
time and the stage driver abandoned
his vehicle couple of miles out of
Wellington. Hailstones harder than
bullets and about the same shape de-
nuded the trees of leaves and shelled
the green corn--just in the milk. The
greatest damage was sustained at the
Colony, or Wymore ranch, where four
miles of ditch was badly damaged-so
badly that it can hardly be repaired in
timeto irrigate the second crop of al
falfa.
The Simpson colony ditch is also
badly damaged, and every ditch in the
valley suffered more or less.
BY getting pretty good tea on be-
fore you tackle this and using red ink
you can make this edition memorable.

Struck by Lightning.

That universal scape goat of things
mysterious, electricity, played havoc
with the Methodist Church of this place
last Friday afternoon. Shortly after
noon dark clouds were observed roll
ing up from the west, accompanied by
vivid flashes of lightning and filling the
oppressive atmosphere with an indefin-
able something that struck terror to
the heart of every man, woman and
child except one or two of us who are
afraid Of nothing on earth.
Realizing that some structure in
town had been the object of the ex-
plosion, everybody hurriedly rushed
into the streets and rubber necked''
to find it. Simultaneously with the cry
of fire" attention was directed to the
church, which appeared to be COM
plete wreck. In an Incredible short
time the fire engine and hose cart
were on the ground, but were not
brought into requisition. A small
streak of fame issued from the roof
which was readily quenched with a
bucket Of water, the damage from this
source being very slight. The steepls
from the belfry up was completely OBJ
liberated while the inside of the edifice
presented a scene of ruin and desola-
ton, lamps, chairs and pews were
strewn In every direction. 1t is esti-
mated that It will cost between two
and three hundred dollars to repair it.
