reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
flammed condition of the mucuos lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumb-
ling sound Of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

A FAMOUS INDIAN.
EPISODES IN THE CAREER OF
CHIEF JONAS WOLF.
The Father of the Chickasaws How
He Cured a Lazy White Mans Love
Won His Sons Tooth on N EIec-
ton Bet.
(Omaha Lottery

Jonas Wolf, chief of the Chickasaws,
who died short time since, was re-
garded by President Lincoln. who
knew him we'll, as the ablest Indian OF
his day. For many years he was a
delegate from his tribe to Washington,
and there frequently visited Lincoln
He was not vain, but had amazing
confidence in himself, and,on one occa-
sion, af er visiting the union army and
witnessing a serious reverse, offered
his services as a general to the presi-
dent, saying: Jonas Wolf is better
general, Mr.. President, than any man
you have got over there with your
army" Notwithstanding his re-
gard for him, Lincoln could
not refrain from INDUCING in
hearty laugh at the Indians
frankness. The Chickasaws had great
faith in him. He was governor of the
tribe for years, and so great was his
popularity that he was called father
of his people" When he died the en-
tire nation went into mourning HIS
career was full Of interesting episodes,
which well illustrate his character.
While Wolf encouraged the inter
marriage of his people with industri-
Gus white men, he entertained a pro-
nounced contempt for tte lazy adven-
turers who sought to mix and mingie
their blood with his people merely for
the purpose of leading vagrant lives
Upon one occasion a white man, who
thought he had discovered an easy way
to maintain existence and at the same
time step into an influential position
through a matrimonial alliance. asked
Jonas for a permit to settle in the ter
ritory, avowing his intention to honor
a certain Indian maiden with anaoffer
Of marriage. The shrewd old Chicka-
saw invited him to dinner, promising
to consider his request later on. The
chiefs large family assembled about
an old dry goods box under the shade
of tree and their white guests atten-
ton was directed to the skeleton head
of an OK, which one of the girls kicked
toward him, giving him to understand
that he was expected to utilize it for a
seat while engaged in appeasing his
appetite. Stranger" said the chief,
with that stolid Indifference perfectly
natural with an Indian, hold your tin
plate over this way and let me cut you
a slice of this dog"
Dog exclaimed the amazed candi-
date for Chickasaw citizenship. Yes,
very good dog, heap fat; he SO ole,
long time sick; las night him heap
die NELLY dead. Jes morn squaw cook
him. Injun heap like dog. White man

The young Indian knew that further
protest would be of no avail, and he
sat down and opened his mouth. Chief
Jonas fastened the forceps upon a
good, sound molar, and jerked it out
OF his sons jaw. Shaking the tooth
IN the boys face, he said:
Now learn to be a little more eau
'ious about making bets. Always
think OF this tooth before you bet
or contract debt"

boomers of towns, land sharks and
cattle syndicates all learned in the
course of time that Jonas Wolf though
full-blood Indian, was equal to the
task of guarding and protecting the
tights and privileges of his people. He
could neither be deceived, caioled. nor
bribed into doing anything inimicaI 70
the best interests of the Chtckasaw ma
ton.
Other tribes were plundered OF their
lands and bankrupted by boomers,
but when those who sought to defraud
the Indians and make them paupers
and nomads presented their schemes
to the Chickasaws they encountered
insurmountable opposition in the per-
son of a fullblood chief whose patriot
ism, integrity and diplomatic skill saw
cd his people and their lands He
saw further ahead than others who
were better educated, and TO his good
judgment the Chickasaws are indebted
for their prosperity and intellectual
advancement Some day monument
Will be erected to perpetuate his mem

as the greatest red man that ever lived

New Form or Suicide.

When man gets tired of existence
on this mundane sphere and wishes to
shorten his allotted span, he usually
resorts to some old and thoroughly
tested means. such as the rope, gun or
poison, Ii remained for one Stuart St
Clair who is said to have been a resi-
dent of Willamsport, Pa, to introduce
a new form of self-destruction. After
sending letter to his wife informing
her that he intended to commit sui
eide, he shut himself up in refrig-
orator car at Denver, Col, and was in
due time frozen to death. People who
have been revived from the lethargy
which Just precedes death by freezing
have stated that they suffered little or
no pain and the new process of sui
eide introduced by Mr.. st. Clair NAV
become popular.

Tenny.on and His Pipes.

During the past season much has
been written about Ii Hung Chang's
method of smoking. The popularity
in this habit of one nearer and dearer
to us Tennyson is decidedly unique.
A writer says of the great poet; The
common clay pipe was his choice His
den was at the top Of the house When
he sat down to work in the morning a
huge tobaccojar, big enough for an
ancestral urn, was at his feet, together
with box full of white clap pipes.
Filling one of these, he smoked until 1t
was empty, broke it IN twain and
threw the fragments into another box
prepared for their reception. Then he
pulled out fresh pipe. filled 1t,
smoked it and destroyed it as before.
He would not smoke pipe the second
time"
