EDITOR CoUR1ER:

EDITOR OOUR1ER:
For the benefit of anxious credit
ors, will say that this winter we are
pleasantly located on our brother-in-
laws farm six miles from the capital
Topeka, and one mile from
Pauline on the Santa Fe. The Mis-
souri, Paci6c-George Gould's road
runs within 40 rods OF one corner
of the farm, so we are in close touch
with the outside world. We haven't
been introduced to Geo. Gould yet.
but we are watching his trains go by
every day, and are very careful to
keep the COWS off the track, and we
think by spring we will be in posi-
ton to strike him for transportation.
We found our family enjoying
good health especially Charles, who
has had no asthma since he came to
Kansas and bids fair to fulfill the
Dr.'s prediction that three wears
change of climate would enable him
to outgrow it.
We made our journey of 1900
miles in comfort and safety. No
casualties to report Notwithstanding
the fact that we run over three states
and several rivers, but strange to say
they all escaped with their lives, per.
sumably from the fact that from St.
Paul south we ran too slow to hur,
anyone.
AS the weather is and probably al
ways will be the frs, topic introduced
in conversation, we probably won't
be criticised in making few re-
marks thereon. The coolest weather
that we have experienced and the
most snow that we have seen was in
Iowa and from all reports they have
been in continuous enjoyment of an
old fashioned winter. The weather
here mas been very enjoyable ur to
date, while nights and mornings have
been cold, vet most of the time the
thermcmeterh been above the freez-
ing point, and through the middle OF
the day one could go very comfort
ably in their shirt sleevs Cat least the
men could). Last night We caught
a gentle zephyr from the North which
sent the mercury tumbling down
ward in a great hurry, and today it
has been lowering around zero.
The roads have been very good so
far for Kansas. At present they are
as hard as stone pavement, but not
SO good as our roads, owing to the
use altogether of narrow tired
wagons. 1t only takes little moist
ure to make them the worst roads in

On the 24th of last month VIM.
Hardy, engineer at the Smith Valley
creamery, met with a peculiar and
somewhat painful accident. While
splitting piece of wood with a
sledge and wedge, portion of the
wedge flew off and struck Mr.. Hardy
on the knee, then bounded upwards
and cut deep cash on his right arm
between the wrist and elbow. Mr..
Hardy had his sleeves rolled up, and
the wound from the sharp piece of
steel caused him to lose much blood
before it was known he was hurt
severely. While the wound was not
serious one, it was quite painful,
and kept Mr.. Hardy from work at
the creamery for few days.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Kustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation 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 Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
