A Phoenix, Ariz., dispatch to the

storage reservoir system, with
capacity for supplying water to
loO,OoO acres, nearly all of which
Is now desert land, is to be built
by New York capitalists on the
Neade river, Gfty miles north of
Phoenix, and at a cost of S., 2,OOO,-

base, |, ,25O feet at its crest, and $50
feet high is to be constructed. Two
subsidiary reservoirs will be built
fifty miles southwest of the main
dam. 1t is believed that there will
be sufficient surplus water to cult
vate nearly $4,000 acres below the
third reservoir. A large part of the
canal system has already been built,
and at the dam site tunnel 900
feet long and II feet in diameter,

Deafness Cannot be Cut.eH

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies, Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets innamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless theinllammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever nine eases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
fiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Grand Jury Report.
NEW IBERIA, Oct. {. 100

New IBERIA, Oct. I, 1901
TO the Honorable r. Don Foster,
Judge Of the 10Th judicial Dis
rict, sitting in and for the Parish
Of Iberia, State of Louisiana:
The Grand Jury, through its
foreman, begs to submit the follow
ing as their partial report for the
term of this Grand Jury, beginning
September 18th, 1901:
The Grand Jury has diligently
investigated all matters brought be-
fore them and found true bills in
cases justified by evidence, which
are now returned to yonr Honor
able Court.
The Grand Jury notes with graft
fication, the Improvement of the
Court House by the Police Jury.
The modern Jail contracted for by
the Police Jury is deemed very ex-
pedient, since the present building
is unfit from a sanitary view as
we'll as unsafe for the custody of
prisoners.
The food fed to the prisoners
therein is good.
The Grand Jury inspecting all of
the schools throughout the city and
met a corps of competent teachers.
The Grand Jury calls the attention
of the honorable School Board to
the sanitary condition of the vari-
Gus schools which should be i'm
proved. The dilapidated fences
and sidewalks enclosing the schools
demand attention. The attention
of the honorable School Board is
also called to the fact that there
are eighty-fve pupils under the SUI
pervision of only one teacher. This
is thought an injustice to both pu-
pills and instructor. This body is
Informed that the colored school,
which is not opened, will soon be.
There has been no evidence
brought to the notice of the Grand i.
Jury in regard to the violation of l
the Sunday law. The Grand Jury t
has been informed that information q
was filed at preceding term of '
Court against persons for viola S
ions Of the Sunday law and that I
,hese cases are still pending. In s
consequence, this body deems it
to take further action t
Until these cases are disposed of. G
The Grand Jury congratulates the n
citizens of this Parish, as its un-
Ibiding law citizens are compara- Il
lively few. a
The Parish executive officer de- /
erves to be commended for the r.
aithfnl discharge of his duty; for l
n one instance his timely and fear q
ess action was instrumental in pre- b
enting1 mob violence. Lynching q
to be much deplored, as it is an c'
xpression of open disregard for o.
aw and justice. Let the strong al
rm of the law protect all classes in tt
he pursuit Of peace, prosperity Ia
nd happiness; let it condemn ali
lasses who violate majestic law IL
nd justice. Il
The Grand Jury regrets that it w
as been unable to learn the actual m
of the Parish, the p'
being empty, the Parish III
reditors are being paid in time IL
ouchers. This Parish is one of 81
le few in the State which is not on III
cash basis. 1t is thought that o1
le Police Jury would find suffi-
ent source of revenue to place the .,
nj
New Iberia enterprise. (New Iberia, La.) 1885-1902, 1901-10-19

Parish on cash basis were the,
to increase the assessment by equal
ization, as well as diminishing some
OF its sources Of expenses.
The Grand Jury finds the public
roads throughout the Parish in
good condition, with the exception
of the following: The road from
Bayou Teche to Point Clair in the
4th Ward. Also the eighty-arpent
road in the I'd Ward and that road
which leads to the Lydia Planta
ton, as well as the HubertvilIe
road in the Sth Ward. The Grand
Jury calls attention to the so-called
ferry crossing on Bayou Teche in
the 4th Ward which is dangerous
and unfit for the use of carts or
wagons to cross; some remedy
should be devised to give the tax
payers of that locality at least a
safe way of crossing Bayou Teche.
No evidence having been adduced,
the Jury has taken no action re-
garding the sale of liquor to mi
nors.
The Grand Jury desires to call
the earnest attention of the Sheriff
aud his deputies to the pollution Of
Bayou Teche by the refuse of large
refneries draining into the same.
The result of this promiscuous
drainage of refinery refuse into
Bayou Teche can be no other than
detrimental to the health of the
community. The attention of the
officers of the towns of New Iberia
and Jeanerette are also requested
to see to the enforcement of the
law of cruelty to animals.
The Grand Jury has inspected
The City Market of this city and has
found the meat department in a |
very unsanitary condition. The
market side drains are clogged with
purified matter which should be
1ushed with. water two or three
lines week. The market tables
should be renovated, as they are
anfit to distribute the daily supply |
If meat.
The Grand Jury attaches hereto

nation of the public:

and Members Of the Grand Jury,

CAT ARREEII| Il

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that person entirely free from

with. tits customary to speak Of Catarrh
q nothing more serious than bad cold,
. simple inflammation of the nose and
throat It is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; If not at first, it
very soon becomes SO.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts Of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat Of the trouble. S.
S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the
poison and eliminates from the system all

: Total ... 800 o51 A.
Of school property the Parish
possesses two large commodious
buildings as high schools, one at
New Iberia and one at .Jpnucrette
while at Loreauvillc Is nice grad
ed school, with four large apart
ments. Other buildings through
out the Parish number twenty-five.
The total valuation being $47. 900.
During the years 1899 and 1900.
the Jeanerette and Loreauville
buildings were erected, also five
country school houses. Two in the
I'd Ward, one in the 9th and two
in the 7th Ward four of these at a
cost Of 800 each, and one at cost
of $500 During the same period
there was invested in school furni-
ture the sum of $2500 approximate
ly, and there is not school build
ing in the country district which |
has not received attention in the
way OF repairs.
After making these improve
ments and operating these schools,
the session ending in May, 1901,
left the School Board with an in
debtedness of $4,000.
1t is not inopportune to say here
that the school development of this
Parish has reached that stage where
1t must remain at q stand-still, un-
less there be an increase in the
school revenues. In this connec-
ton we may venture to express the
hope that the day is not distant
when it will be possible for our
honorable Police Jury to reverse
the present order of distribution of
J. 4
Parish funds: giving the schools
,he five mills that now go to the
funds and two and a half :

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE.
THE DANGER IN THAT COMMON
DISEASE, CATARRH.

Because catarrhal diseases are so
common and because oatarrh is not
rapidly fatal, people too often over
look and neglect it until some incur
able ailment develops as a result of
the neglect.
The inflamed condition Of the mem
brane of the nose and throat makes a
fertile soil.for. the germs of Pneumon-
ia and consumption. in fact catarrhal
pneumonia and catarrhal consumption
are the most common forms OF these
dreaded diseases which annually cause
more than one quarter Of the deaths
in this country.
Remedies for oatarrh are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers but very
few have any sctual merit as cure,
the only good derived being simply q
temporary relief.
There is, however, very effective
remedy recently discovered which is
rapidly becoming famous for its great
value IN relieving and permanently
curing all forms Of catarrhal diseases,
whether located in the head, throat,
lungs or stomaoi.
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed Of a gum derived from the
Eucalyptus tree, and this gum pos
sesses extraordinary healing and anti
septic properties, Il is taken intern
ally in the form Of lozenge or tab
Let, pleasAntto the taste and so harm
less that little children take them with
safety and benefit.
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are
sometimes used but are not so con
venieut nor so palAtable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality is
found in stuart's Catarrh Tablets
which may te,found in uny drug store
and any catarrh suffer- who has
tried douches, inhal' r ami liquid
medicines, will le surprised at tho
rapid improvement after a few days
use Of stuart's Catarrh Tablets which
are composed Of the gum Of the Euoo
lyptus tree, combined with other anti
sepiics which destroy the germs Of
oatarrh in the blood and expel the
catarrhal poison from the System.
Dr. Ramsdell in speaking Of Ca
tarrh aud its cures says; After
many experiments ! have given NJ
the idea Of curing caiarrh by the use
Of iuhalcrs, washes, salves or liquid
medicines. l have always had the
best results from Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; the red gum and other valu-
able antiseptics contained in these
tablets make them, in my opinion,
far superior to any Of the numerou:
catarrh remedies so extensively ad'
vortised The fact that Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets are sold in drug stores,
under protection of trademark,
should not prejudice conscientious
physicians against thom because their
undoubted merit and harmless oharAc-
ter make them a remedy which every
catarrh sufferer may use with perfect
safety and the prospect Of a perman-
ent cure.
For colds, in the head, for coughs,
catarrhal deafness and catarrh Of the
stomach and liver, people who have
tiled them say that stuart's Catarrh
Tablets are n household necessity.
