Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf.
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the in
fiammation 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
CataTh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous SER
vices.

CAUGHT JOHN BROWN.
Major IsraeI Greene Of Mitchell, S.
D., Describes the Fight at Harpers
Ferry.

Mitchell. S. D., Oct. 2O.-It is al
most A years ago that John Brown
was captured at Harpers Ferry, the
date being Oct. 2S, 1859. The man
who effected his capture is now a
resident of Mitchell, having moved
to this vicinity over twenty years
ago. His name is Israel Greene and
he is still a good specimen of we'll
preserved manhood The incidents
of the capture of John Brown are
fresh in his memory and he is always
ready to relate the story.
Major Greene was an officer of the
marines and was stationed at Wash
ington. After the raid was made on
the arsenal, Oct. 10, 1859, he was or
dered to Harpers Ferry to report to
Col. Robert E. Lee, afterwards the
great Confederate general. When
stirred up a great commotion. Troops
were summoned up from the country.
In the meantime Browns men. after
capturing several prominent citizens
to hold as hostages, barricaded them
selves in the old fire engine house.
Among those who were captured as
hostages was a Colonel Washington
a descendant of the family of the ia
Their of his country.
The troops surrounded the engine
house and demanded Browns sur
render, but was greeted with jeers
from the defiant followers of the old
warrior. and threats were made Of in
jury to the hostages if any violence
was offered. Major Greene, then a

new STEAMER
ON COLUMBIA
Reaches a Point Higher Up the River
Than Has Been the Rule.

Wenatchee.-Above Brewster. Okla
hogan county, it has not hitherto been
possible to deliver goods except by
the primitive ox-team method. There
is a vast and fertile country there,
but until Thursday it was inaccessi-
BILE. The change has been made be-
cause the first boat that ever naviga-
ted the upper Okanogan river has
successfully made the trip, and the
information, arriving here today, is
to the effect that the whole country
there is jubilant. The return trip of
the boat was an ovation from the head
of navigation to Brewster, to which
lumbia river from this point so with
out trouble.
The name of this boat is the En-
terprise, and she was built at Wenat-
chez by H. S. DePuy and Will Lake,
of Seattle. She was financed and Is
owned by Captains Frank Reed and
George Ostenburg OF Alma, Washing
ton. She was finished here about
two weeks ago, and, watched by a ma
jority OF the townspeople, was launch
ed here day or so later.
She was built for use On the Okla
hogan river between Riverside and
Brewster. For ten months of the year
that river is navigable for boats Of
very light draught only, and the En-
terprise was built with this end in
view. She draws approximately 612
inches of water with her full equip
ment of machinery, enabling her to
run the OkanOgan river all the year
round. She is sc feet long, with II
foot beam and 31a depth of hold. The
boat is equipped for freight and pas
senger service.
This news will be received with
joy by the business men of Seattle
and Spokane, who have to do with
the upper Okanogan country. The
building of this boat means the open
ing Of a great area of trade and the
development Of a vast section already
naturally wealthy and awaiting only
the means of transportation. Hereto
fore the boats Of the Columbia Okla
hogan company have navigated that
river during the high-water stages of
the early summer for six weeks or two
months, but the balance of the year
all freight for points above Brewster
has to be hauled by wagon The con-
sequence was that very little freight
was shipped, not because it was not
wanted, but because the method was
so slow and expensive that merchants
and others preferred to wait for the
opening Of the river in summer, and
then buy in large lots.
The complaint has always been that
all buying and shipping had to be
done in six weeks, and the result
was that the volume of trade, not
only with Wenatchee, but with tho
wholesale houses Of the rest of the
state and Of the east, was reduced to
the lowest possible amount Messrs
Reed and Ostenburg also own the
Touring mills at Alma, on the OkanO-
gan river, and for this reason, in the
first place, built the boat, that they
might have access to the grain ware
houses on the Columbia river and the
lower Okanogan all the year round.
AS completed, the Enterprise will
make landings at all points between
Riverside and Brewster. and so soon
as the Instructions in the river a.
Riverside are removed, the Okanogan
will be navigated to the British Co
lumbia line.

by 7 feet 6 inches, making the re-
markable distance of PIP feet in

BAD FOR YOUNG WOMEN.
Prominent Physician Crticises D.
Jordan's Statement as to
immortality.

Syracuse, n. Y, Oct 20-Dr. Ely
Van DeWarker, a prominent physician
and member Of the Syracuse board of
school commissioners, has written a
book in which he flays the cOeduca-
tional system Of American universi-
ties.
Van DeWarker has spent consider
able time collecting statistics upon
which to base his contentious.
In dealing with the moral phase OF
the question he criticises President
Jordan of Stanford university for
saying immoral relations do not oc-
cur often enough to be of conse-
quence. He says, one such case, if
Chargeabe to the system, is enough
to condemn it.
DR.. DeWarker says further that re-
cent action in the case of the SYRIA
cuse university in insisting upon sep
arate boarding houses and placing
other restrictions is an admosslon that
the system is faulty
He declares that the argument that
men are elevated by women is not
borne out by facts. Man always proves
himself the stronger and women i'm
itates even the rougher sports of
men.
The educational side of the matter
is as great a failure, says the school
commissioner.
Old educational lines along which
colleges were founded were intended
for men, and they do not apply to
both sexes. In graduate schools, he
says, women do not have an equal
chance

Washington. Oct. 20.-The text O
the first encyclical of Pope Plus X
has reached Washington. 1t is dated
Rome, October T. The document will
be read by Catholics and non-Catho
lies alike with intense interest, az
the leading Catholics here say it re
veals the personality of the new pope
even as written composition sci
dom pictures the mind of its author
1t breathes in every line an intense
religious zeal and indicates that the
new pontiff is reactionary from the
scientific policies of Leo XIII.
The pope devOtes several para
graphs to eXhOrtatiOns, and Their
comes to practical remedies, intimat
ing that priests must be apostles first
and scholars afterwards. He exhorts
bishops to regard their seminaries fol
the training of their priests as the
delight of their hearts, and to be
careful in the selection of candidates. >
He then specifies generally his
theories, and in this he reacts
strongly from policies Of Pope Leo
Nil The encychcal indicates in the
opinion of leading Catholics, that the
bishops created by Pope Plus X will
be known more for their evangelical
work than for their learning or
science
EncyclIcal Is Long.
The encyCliCal is more than 6000
words long in translation.
After detailing his sense of grief
and reluctance in taking the papacy,
Pope Plus y. pays an eloquent trib-
ute to his predecessor and then pro-
claims his own policy. He says:
Since, however. it has been pleas
sng to the Divine will to raise our
toWliness to such sublimity Of power,
we take courage in Him who strength
ems us. and setting ourseIf to the
work, relying on the power of God.
we proclaim that we have no other
program in the supreme pontificate

Christ, so that Christ may be all in

Some will certainly be found who
measuring divine things by human
standards, viii seek to discover Sc
Cret aims of ours. distorting them to

sign.
Naught But Gods Minister.
TO eliminate all vain delusiOn for
such. we say 10 them that we do not
wish to be. and with Divine assistance
never shall be aught before human
society but the minister of God Of
whose authority we are the deposi-
tory. Hence, should anyone ask Of
us a symbol as the expression Of our
will, we will give this and no other. to

The desire for peace is harbored
in every breast, and there is no one
who does not ardently invoke it. But
to want peace without God is an alb
SurdIty, seeing that when God is alb
sent, thence, too. justice fees. and
when justice is away it is vain to cher
lsh hope of peace. for peace is the
work of justice.
