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 Inhamed con-
dition Of the mucous, lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect 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 for
ever. Nine cases out of ten are,caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhsmed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

the arithmetic to support the asser-
tion that dollar was worth too
much, measured in products, now
grows frantic because "Two dollars
and fifty cents in 1901 bought thirty
pounds of meat and two bushels of
potatoes. Two dollars and fifty cents
in 1902 buys twelve pounds of meat
and one bushel of potatoes. -
These statistics are of particular
interest to those who feared that
under the malignant gold standard a
dollar would gradually become so
precious because of it's rareness and
historic value that eventually two
dollars and fifty cents would purchase
the seasons products of All agricul-
tural community.
The western farmer, who has sur
vived calamitous visitations such as
drouths, cyclones, prairie fires, grass
hoppers and the Farmers Alliance,
must at last succumb to cheap dol
lar, measured in beef and potatoes.
Just think what large crop Of dol
lars he will have to raise next year
in order to keep his poor, half
starved family acquainted with the
taste of beef and potatoes!

ing 212, 600 acres of
Nebraska sand hills for forestry will
transform barren, useless and un-
slightly waste into wilderness of
slightly and useful vegetation. TO
Nebraskans this is the most important
and least appreciated act of the ex-
ecutive since he assumed the respon-
slbilities of his Office. Most of the
land is absolutely unfit for agricul-
ture and it requires from twenty to
forty acres of it to furnish sufficient
grazing for one animal.
Strange to say, this sandy soil is
peculiarly adapted to the culture of
many valuable trees, notably pines,
and if the work Of planting and
nursing is pursued with intelligence
and forethought, the passing of
decade or two will adorn the hills,
where cactus and soaproot are now
the heaviest vegetation. with ver-
dant forest such as cannot now be
found in the semi arid region.

water, which inordinate craving they
are forbidden to indulge upon the
Sabbath, unless sternly ordered to do
so by regular practicing physician,
who sees in the effervescent fluid the
only hope of saving his patients life.
Right here is where the press
comes to the rescue of the effete and
thirsty resident of Boston, by print
ing prescription calling for one
ounce of milk, two of fruit syrup and
eight of carbonated water, which in
the language of those not initiated
into the mysteries of pharmacy means
soda water or, to put it still more
simply, "pop." This prescription ap-
pears in the columns of the daily
paper, over facsimile of the sigma
ture of some reputable physician,
and the courts have held that it
is a good and valid order on the
druggist, and one that he is bound to
honor furthermore that the thirsty
Bostonian may with impunity clip
out the slip, present it at the soda
counter, return due thanks to the en-
terprising press for having broken
the Sunday drouth, and sip the re-
freshing gaseous liquid in peace.

her husband should he attempt to cuff
her ears, and a United States Senator
has been summarily elected from a
car by common, everyday conductor,
simply and wholly because the astute
legislator for some inexplicable reas-
on refused to show cause why he
should be allowed to ride, America
has at last made good it's proud boast
that here all men (and women) are
equal. That is the way it looks on
paper; but the fact is that the woman
who protected her ears by taking the
life of the father Of her children, or
attempting to do so, is socially ostra-
cized while the conductor who so
gallantly and fearlessly obeyed the
rules of the corporation by which he
is employed, is in fair way to be re-
warded for his fidelity, with dis
charge, according to the Chicago
Chronicle which treats the recent un
pleasantness as follows:
SIN the dispute between Senator
Money and street car conductor in
Washington the conductor was clearly
in the right and the senator was just
as clearly in the wrong, and when the
senator, in resisting election from the
car, drew knife and cut the con-
ductor he made his attitude more in
defensible. The street car employee
could not be expected to violate the
rules of the company even to oblige
United States senator and when the
United States senator resorted to
weapons he merely placed himself in
the category of dangerous brawlers.

ASSESSMENT IN
CONSISTENCIES.

CONSISTENCIES. chiefly from the
fact that all men
are born equally selfish. After the
state board of equalization has as
sessed the corporations, the county
assessors convene and vie with each
other to see which shall get the low
est valuation fixed for his district,
in order to avoid paying any more
state taxes than is necessary.
Then comes the wheel within the
wheel when one township plots
against another, and the country dis
tricts unite in placing all entirely in
equitable proportion of the burden
upon the cities and villages, and in
their fortified position, having ma,
jority at the assessors meeting and
upon the board of supervisors, they
boldly declare this and that farm
property exempt, though the law del
egates to them no such authority.
In York county, (Neb.) where the
'honest farmer assessor shines at
his best, they assessed farm real
estate, the landlords domain, last
year at about one-twelfth it's value;
personal property, the tenants only
possession, one-seventh it's value; city
and village property, at onefourth it's
actual value. All of this in defiance
of the laws of the state, and the laws
of common decency and common hon
esty.
This species of daylight piracy CAN
not be paralleled upon the face of the
civilized globe today, though it is
something akin to the conditions ex-
listing in the old feudal days when a
mighty arm, good sword, stout fol-
lowers and staunch castle were
necessary adjuncts to agriculture;
the sole difference being that the
old time robber risked something in
the enterprise, and expected to be de-
spoiled in return; but the twentieth
century marauder overpowers by
force of numbers, while annually
whining for "equal rights to all spe
cial privileges to none," when the
red fire glows, the torches glimmer
through their own smoke, the band
plays sturdily, and the district barn
yard orator rends the heavens with
his bolts of eloquent invective against
class legislation and unjust discrim-
ination.

The banc Of too much candy affiicts
the Capitol school.
Three classes of people suffer from
1.-THE children. the teachers. the par
ents. And there seems to be no remedy.
II appears that nothing Is possible to
be done unless somebody can suggest
a way to rid the youngsters Of an in
nate yearning for sweets.
Surely the grocer across the street
is not the person to suggest treatment.
He is happy man. He has sufficient
reason.
Has the grocer ever whispered of his
intention To install candy kitchen at
the rear OF his store? 1t really might
not be a had plan. Certainly there is
little fear o: his trade leaving him.
There is not a school In town where
the little folks have more easy, pleas
ant access to the candy counter. Un-
like any other school in town the Cap
itol was built right across the street
from a groceryman who was wise
enough to see his opportunity and reap
a rich reward therefrom. He enlarged
and extended his candy counter and,
in fact, quite specialized in that line.
There are no alarming evidences that
ne is disappointed in the venture. Per-
haps he would be pleased to see an
other school rise up nearby and bless
him.
Morning, noon and night he opens
his doors to trooping boys and girls
who shortly depart with cracking pa
per sacks in their doubled fists. 1t is
not long ere they are munching. The
grocer has enriched his cash register
to the number of some nickels and
dimes; the school teacher, like as not.
has been doomed to intense exaspera-
ton; the children have taken another
step in the ruination of their tender
stomachs. and the parents have worse
than useless cast away some small
coins.
When a child stays at home from
the Capitol school 1t is pretty certain

to be because of sweetmeats eaten In
than common be sure It Is because of
sticky fingers. And be sure always
that II is to the enrichment Of the
jovial grocer who keeps his counters
supplied with the newest and most at
tractive novelties i'm sweetmeats.
Perhaps worse than all is the fact
that some of the young folks are learn
ing the arts Of the INSCRIPTIONS in
their mad desire for bits of money.
They have been known to reach into
the purses Of their mothers without
compunction. Sometimes they bring
forth their hands laden with a coin,
the value and significance of which,
they have only the vaguest apprehen-
sion. And then they are rushed by
mates who love something good"
Certain II is that the punishment is
made to fit the crime but the very
existence of the crime is evidence of
the lengths to which the passion excit-
ed by the grocer leads his little trades
men. 1t is o and alas that the chill
dren love candy, and o and alas that
they must go to a school so near a
candy market.
Can a body think of something to
do? Statistics might be compiled
showing that candy at the Capitol
school is doing more damage to stom-
achs and purses and dispositions and
attention to study than liquor is doing
to the drinking element. If matters
do not improve the teachers are likely
soon to begin taking nearve medicine,
one dose to each stick of candy, in
order to Withstand the inroads of pet
ulant children on their patience, good
will and steadfast regard for disci-
pline.
1t is very annoying to hear the rattle
Of paper bags during school hours. 1t
is racking to catch a pupil every now
and then chanking candy. 1t is very
irritating to have to keep a constant
eye for pupils who incline to the con-
cealment Of candy in their desks. 1t
Is bitterly agitating to find books and
papers and desks daubed by untidy
small folks who had not the instant

clean smeared fingers. But what can

usual? They had been made aware
that the grocer was paying a steep
rent out Of his profits on candy alone
and laying aside some besides. 1t
takes a good number Of candy sales
to pay out of margins about $40 a
month rent for two store rooms. Sep
arate the whole sum into nickels and
dimes and then consider that there are
no more than twenty-five days in a
school month. Where are you at?
And what would you do?

TALLY. In fact 1t was quite a mess Of
charred ruins. A mystery enveloped
the blaze. May II not be that instead
of mice and matches" some somnam-
bulistic teacher. thinking Of the candy
evil. But of course no teacher
would do a thing like that. And still
you can't tell.
No one doubts that teachers are hu-
man. When they see an evil difficult
to cure by ordinary means why
shouldn't they resort to something un-
