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 inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
runlbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflamma alton can
be taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an inf1amed condition of the mucous.

TODRY SLAVES By STEAM
Eagle Mill Company Awards Contract
For Drying Room.

All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the erection of a new drying
room at the Eagle mill and on Saturday
the contracts were given out. Fl. Schape-
kahn of this city, gets the job of put
ting up the building and the American
Blower company of Detroit, Mich,
will furnish all the machinery necessary.
Work was begun by Mr.. Schapekahm
Monday and the structure is to be
ready for use this fall.
His portion of the contract comprises
the erection of a frame building Il
feet high and 33xl2 feet in size. It will
be put up in the ell between the two
wings of the cooper shop and in it will
be installed a large radiator and fan.
The latter will be propelled by an
electric motor, the current coming from
the big dynamo in the engine room,
and the function of the fan will be to
force steam into all parts Of the build
ing.
The drying room will greatly M
prove the coopering facilities at the
Eagle mill. At the present time the mill
has no means of drying barrel slaves
as rapidly as they are needed but must
allow them to season naturally. Under
the new plan the slaves will be placed
in the room and hot steam will dry
them to the degree desired within a few
hours.

BOND MINNESOTA CENTRAL
Officers Hold Meeting and Accept
Proposition.
Bond For North and South Road
is $2,OOO,OOO.
Promoters Say Line Will be Built
Next Year.

Officers and directors of the Mime
sofa Central Railway company met
last Wednesday at the West hotel in
Minneapolis and accepted an offer to
bond ITO miles of the proposed north
and south road between Mankato and
st. Cloud for $2,000,000. This action,
the officers say, will insure the road
being built next year.
The official route passes through
Nicollet, New Sweden, Gaylord, New
Auburn, Brownton, Greenleaf, Hutch
inson, probably Watkins, and thence
to St. Cloud. A branch will be built
from New Sweden to New Ulm, a dis
tance of eighteen miles, and there will
be connections with the Milwaukee
and Great Northern at different points.
Those present at the meeting We'd
nesday were: David H. Beecher, presi-
dent of the board and of the Union
National Bank of Grand Forks, N.
D.; GeorgesR. Van Reed, vice presi-
dent, Reading, Pa; G. H. Mackenzie,
investment broker of Gaylord, Mimi;
William Lambert, president of the
Bankers Syndicate Company of Read
ing, Pa, Col. j. T. Small of Lewis
ton, Me-; John r. Bucks of Werners-
vile, Pa, and Thos. K. Dalzell of
Reading, Pa. The only members alb
sent were Hector B. Cady of Minneap-
oils and Edward L. Perkins of Phila-
delphia.
Although the proposition has now
assumed a more tangible form, there
are still many people who are skepti-
cal. A north road from Mankato to
Duluth has been agitated for the last
seven or eight years but as yet the
work of the promoters has been with
out result. However: the Pennsylvan-
ia men.appear to be going about the
thing in a systematic manner. They
have capitalized the road in New Jer-
sey for $500, 900 and it is surmised
that the Rock Island is behind the
project, it probably being the inten-
ton of the latter to build from Albert
Lea to Mankato. ~ FL
In an interview VIM. S. Lambert is
quoted as saying: "Here we find many
thousands of square miles of the rich
est farming country in the world pene-
trated only by a few east and west
lines. The trend of railway business
is north and south. Since the gulf
line was built not a carload of grain
grown west of the Missouri river has
been shipped eastward. We expect
our line to work in a large measure
the same change in the transportation
business in central Minnesota and the
road will pay we'll from the start.
THE plan that will probably be
adopted is this: We propose to bond
our ITO miles of road for 500, 900 per
mile and we have about completed ar
rangements with a New York trust
company to market our bonds, thus
supplying us with ample funds to build
and equip the line. But if this plan
fails we have enough capital among
ourselves and our friends to go ahead.
ssThe unsettled condition of Wall
street and the recent bursting of num-
erous over-capitalized industrial air
bubbles only helps our project when
we go upon the market in quest of
money. Eastern capitalists are only
too glad to give attention when a

an Awful Nightmare.

be seen at the Turner Theatre next
Sunday evening with a story that
winds from the hills of Arkansas to
the docks Of New York City. It is full
of interest, mingled with excitement
and adventure. It brings within it's
scope characters of many nationalities
and gives most picturesque descrip-
tion of the Chicago & Alton railroad,
which, beginning at the White City,
winds it's way down through a pretty
country into the sun-kissed hills Of
Tennessee. The cast is an evenly-bal-
anced one and the scenic investiture
of special note. Among the striking
features are a freight train of four
teen cars and an express train cross
ing the stage at full speed. A steam
boat race on the Mississippi, with
sparks a-fying, smoke pouring out of
the tunnels and the passengers thrown
into the widest excitement, is also
shown. A beautiful view of Niagara
Falls by moonlight, with the rushing
waters roaring over the precipice and
the old suspension bridge looming out
of the mist, is another novel effect and
one worthy of praise for its artistic
and truthful conception. Tickets for
this attraction are now being sold at
popular prices at Alwin's drug store.
Absolutely and utterly the worst
ever, about describes the company
which played ''The Irish Pawnbrok-
ers'' at the opera house Sunday even
ing. James L. McCabe, one of the
comedians, is fair variety house
actor, but the balance of the troupe
are little better than a rank bunch of
transformers. True, a quartet which
they carried sang we'll and one young
lady gave good acrobatic speciality,
but these were literally the only re-
deeming features. The remainder of
the entertainment was inexpressably
poor and it is safe to say that a New
Ulm audience has never before been
insulted by such a cheap and worth
less exhibition of vulgarity. In par
ticular there is a speciality given by a
pair of aged DANES who have the
famous Cherry Sisters headed for the
woods. One of these old girls, tall,
spare of figure, as beautiful and grace
full as a baby giraffe and with a voice
like a circular saw, pranced through
her spasm and seemed to take a fend-
ish delight in it's very coarseness.
They were the worst offenders but
there were others who approached the
same category and it is a relief to
know that the program was cut in
places. Unfortunately a good-sized
audience greeted the troupe and their
disgust will probably affect the at
tendance at future productions. In
connection with fasco word of ex-
PLANTATION is due Manager Henle. The
company carried over twenty people
and should have been above the aver
age, and when they had the audacity
to insist upon high prices Mr.. Henle
naturally felt that he had booked a
good attraction and advertised it as
such.

The entertainment given by Gus

house Thursday evening was pro-
duction by real artists. It is seldom
that more talent is carried by a min
strel troupe and it was undoubtedly
the finest thing of it's kind that has
ever visited New Ulm. The singing
was far above the average, the eostum-
ing most elaborate and the specialties
of a very high order. On account of
the restricted stage room it was i'm
possible to produce the setting entitled
"a Dream of Mars" and necessarily,
it was omitted from the program. In
spite of this, however, there were no
lack of features and the company gave
the greatest satisfaction. It was de-
serving of better attendance, which
it will surely receive if a return date
is played here. ( r...-.
A realistic melodrama in four acts
by James M. Martin, the we'll known
dramatist, is s.Circumstantial Evil
dence," which will be seen for the first
time in this city at the New Ulm opera
house tomorrow night. The drama is
a story of strong heart interest and is
told in masterful way by the author.
It comes to us highly endorsed by both
public and press and without doubt
will be one of the strongest attractions
of its kind to visit this city during the
season.
A New York paper in commenting
on Chas. B. Hanford's production of
''The Tanning of the Shrew' says:
s'The audience went into raptures; it
demanded curtain call after curtain
call; it applauded support as well as
principals; and lastly, it remained
seated until the last curtain fall and
gave the actors a genuine ovation"
Mr.. Hanford's coming to New Ulm
will be the artistic treat of the season.
William Owen, who has appeared
here on two different occasions, is this
year producing a new play entitled
"When Louis XII Was King The
piece is a dramatization of SCOTS
great work, "Quentin Durward," and
is said to be meeting with much favor
throughout the eastern and middle
states. It may be seen here in March.

CURRENT COMMENT.

EyIt is stated that the democrats and
populists of Nebraska will again fuse.
They have such a close resemblance to
each hother-particularly in that state
that it would probably be impossible
to sort them out, anyway.-Philadel-
phia Press.
ETThe only matter of consequence
in the action of the Iowa democratic
convention is the ignoring and virtual
reputation of free silver Two years
ago it reaffirmed the Kansas City plat
form in whole and in every part. Its
present action shows a feeble sort of
attempt at reformation. The demand
that "the integrity Of the money of the
nation be guarded with jealous care"
might be construed as demanding a new
burglar-proof safe in the treasury de-
partment.-Indianapo Journal.
CvThe same dispatches that bring the
news that Mr.. Bryan bitterly denounces
the action Of the Iowa democrats also
brings the news that the outcome in
Iowa has greatly stimulated the Cleve-
land movement in the cast In spite Of

THE POST OFFICE AFFAIR.
Thorough Investigation VIII lie Made
Under Direction of the
President.

There have been no great steals in the
postofiice department, but it would ap-
pear that a large number of prominent
officials have assisted in grating ON to
the pay roll persons who had no bust
ness there, and one late official has been
indicted for receiving a substantial sum
as bribe for awarding contracts. Two
assistant attorney generals for the post
Office department are found by Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow to have
been connected with Irregularities, and
of these both have been removed and
one has been arrested. All have been
for long time connected with the de-
partment, and all but the assistant at
torneys general were apparently civil
service appointees who had been pro-
NOTED en- what was.deemed merit" All
those under fire have powerful friends
and every possible influence has been
eXerted to save them from punishment,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
The American people are fortunate in
knowing that they have a president
whom nothing can deter from probing
this scandal to the bottom, no matter
who is hit He does not, of course, carry
on the investigation. That is the duty
of the postmaster general, but the power
of the president is behind everything
which is of sufficient importance to
claim his attention. The postmaster
general, in turn, does not deal directly
with the investigating officials, or with
those who are accused. His proper place
is that of an official to review, and to
direct action on the facts as they come
before him. His action has been so
prompt and so stern as to satisfy the
most eXacting critic, and he has placed
all the facts before the public as fast
as they have been properly authenticat-
ed. The real work of the investigation
has been in charge of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, and the
result shows that he is sparing nobody.
Whether we have yet seen the end is
uncertain. Attention having been drawn
to scandals in the civil service, all de-
partments are doubtless now being qui-
etly examined 1t Is certain that the en-
tire administration is thoroughly
aroused None of these derelict officials
are recent appointees. Some of them date
back to Cleveland's administration or
before. All must have borne good repu-
tations and gone wrong under the temp
taticns of eXtravagant Washington life.
The greater part of the Irregularities
are in petty things. The most common
oifense was in getting some one irregu-
larly on the pay rolls at the behest of
some influential person. The public has
the right to know the names of the con-
gressmen or other high officials to whose
demand these officials yielded. They
may be beyond the reach of the law, and
probably are, but the public would like
TO know their names just the same.

Gar ~ President Roosevelt Regrets
Delay Conference Hold { Sycamore
Hill.
Oyster Bay, y. Y, July g.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Hay
concluded their conference at a late
hour Tuesday night. The secretary
left Sycamore Hill yesterday morning
and took the train for New York, in
tending to proceed thence to Wash
mgton.
1t is understood that the exact
method Of procedure relative to the
B'nai Birth petition to the Russian
government has not been determined.
The petition itself has not been COM
pleted and it can be said that the.
president deeply regrets the delay in
the placing of the document in his
hands. Next week, probably on
Tuesday, the president expects to
have a conference at Sycamore Hill
with three of the Jewish citizens who
have promoted the idea of forward
ing a petition to the Russian govern
ment.
On that day Simon Wolf of Massa-
chusetts, and Oscar SttauSS and Leon
n. Levy, of New York, will take,
luncheon with the president. 1t is
expected that the petition, which has
been revised carefully by its authors,
will be handed to the president at.
that time. In any event, the subject.
in all its phases will be considered
thoroughly.
1t is expected that the Jewish citf
zens who have been insistent in their.
advocacy of the sending of the petit
tion desire that matters relating to.
it should be considered entirely apart
from the Manchurian question. This,
it is pointed out by state department.
officials, is scarcely possible, as the,
two matters are inseparably connect
ed in the manifold ramitications of
the United States diplomatic rela-
tions with Russia.
Whether the petition, when COM
pleted, will be sent Immediately to
the Russian government, or whether
the Russian foreign officials will be
asked first whether it viii receive
such a presentation, has not been de-
termined definitely. The result would
be the same, in effect, whether the
one method were adopted or the
other, as, naturally, Russia would be.

The object of the opium bill is to-
create an opium monopoly in the,
