Interesting Letter From Idaho.

I'd. Republican:
Dear Sir:-I wrote you about one year
ago, giving some account of this part of
the West Since then we have become
somewhat part Of the natives, and feel
rs though we were old residents.
The ways Of the West are not the ways
of the East. The people Of the country
near the 'setting sun" are a people of
gold and silver, Ia few years ago they
were more for silver than gold, but a
change has come over them to some ex-
tent and the silver craze has abated. }
The West changes as we'll as the East
II seems a queer proposition, yet never
theless true, that almost all the people
one meets in the West are from some one
Of the Eastern States. l am from Penn
sylvania, another is from New York,
some from Iowa, and even a few ac-
knowledge that they are from Missouri,
but not many, for the people of that State
seem TO have the reputation here that

Deafness Cannot BE Curde

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a runbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less 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 condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

Cough Remedy" says Frank w. Perry,
EDITOR of the Enterprise, Shortsville, n.
Y. "This is the honest truth. ] at times
kept from coughing myself to pieces by
taking n teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing SPELL would cnme on

pass off and | would 60 TO sleep perfectly

pains. To say that the remedy acted as
most agreeable surprise is putting il
mildly. ! had no idea that it would or
could knock ut the grip, simply because
had never tried il for such purpose,
but it did. and it seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused it

used the contents of one bottle before Mr..

The Gorgeous Golden Trout Of whitney
Creek In Kansas.

There Is a variety Of trout in Whitney

In any other water said New York man
who has fished In Whitney Creek. That
trout has an abode Of its own in the upper
waters Of the stream. and II Ia never invaded
nv apy OF the other varieties Of trout which
swarm In the waters below. simply because
the abode OF that particular trout can't be
reached by them.
The reason for this is that about six
miles from the head Of the creek there ia
a perpendicular waterfall $50 feet high.
The rock down which the water tumbles II
solid and smooth on it's face from base 10
