1T will be observed that opinions
vary as to the amount the city would

cause of the low valuations on prop

street would pass. Some Of the coun-

at $1,000. But none of us knows. There
was just one way to find out, and the
politicians in the council have deprived
us of that one way. Everything pos

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Ly local application 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
infamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous ser
vices.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot sbe cured by

STuFFING .ANACONDAS.
Baby Snakes Are Fed With Mice and
Sparrows.

New York, n. Y, May 23.-
Stuffing young anacondas as if they
were Strassburg geese and massag-
ing nineteen-foot python. which
kept them in the air half the time,
two keepers in the Geological Park
in the Bronx had a very busy time
of it. The little reptiles fought
valiantly against their compulsory
dieting, and i'll assisting nature for
the benefit of the big constructor,
Snyder and Fowler, the keepers,
took their lives in their hands. The
python squirmed and twisted,
bending its body with a strength
that raised the $50 pounds five feet
from the ground and dashed about
with its tail trying to strangle the
keepers. One twist around their
necks would have killed the men.
Hundreds looked on while the
keepers fought their perilous bat
tie.
Not mouthful had passed the
jaws of the twenty-nine little ana
condas from the day they were
Matched, month ago. Their
mother, who is seventeen feet in
length, had not eaten for six
months, but that is nothing I'M
usual or alarming in all adult ana
conda.
The snake expert and curator of
the Geological Park decided that
the baby snakes must learn to eat,
directed the keepers, Snyder and
Fowler, to kill tempting mess of
sparrows and mice for the young
reptiles. When the keepers picked
up the first of the youngsters they
found hands full. The snake baby
fought against young sparrow as
if it were poison and only by main
force was its jaws pushed apart and
the bird pushed down with the aid
of blunt stick. Each snake was
given two sparrows and a mouse
and took is first and unwilling les
son in digestion.
In handling the python the keep
ers were in real peril, The snake
is the pride of the reptile house, of
which it has been an inmate for six
months. In that time it has shed
its skin twice, against all traditions
Of its race. In captivity snakes co
not free themselves of their cover
ing with ease, and it is necessary to
assist them.

4 GOOD FRIEND.

One man who deserves the hearty
recognition of Brownsville for his
efforts TO secure the construction of
the railroad to this place-though
he modestly enough refrains from
making any claim to such recogni-
tion-is Major John B. Armstrong
of the Chicago ranch of upper
Cameron county. While the work
of completing the bonus required
for the Lott railroad would doubt
less have been successfully accom-
plished in time by our own citizens,
still it is a fact that. owing to the
sudden opposition of some of our
leading men who were undoubtedly
misled by the representations of
the Southern Pacific agent, the is
sue of the great Lott project was
for the moment apparently hanging
in the balance, Major Armstrong,
threw himself into the breach, and.
in conjunction with those of our
citizens who stood Loyalty by Col
onel Lott, worked might and main
for the purpose of completing the
bonus. Though not owning dol
lars worth of property in Browns
vile or within seventy miles of
here, the major subscribed literally
to the cash bonus required of this
place, and even doubled the amount
of his original subscription in order
to encourage others to do likewise.
At his own expense. he devoted
considerable time to this work, and
there is no doubt that it was largely
due to his efforts that some of our
large property owners were induced
to subscribe their share towards
the bonus, despite the efforts of
the Southern Pacific agents to the
1t is known to be fact,
that, he'd the compliance of our
people with Colonel Lofts PROPOSE
ton been delayed three weeks
longer, the result might have been
fatal to the consummation of the
project, because of the
stringency occurring in the money
market at that time, which would
have made it extremely difficult if
not impossible for the builders of
the road to finance the enterprise.
Hence it may be surr that the Her |
,ulean effort of Major Armstrong
and those of the local committee
who worked with him, through |
whom the bonus was completed at
he time, may be considered as the
actual saviors of the railr ,ad /
project. So, when Major John B.
Armstrong comes visiting Browns I,
vile, he should be accorded a well
come of more than usual cordiality |
md receive the distinguished con-
;ideration due to one who has
played so important a part IN as
surfing the future of this town and |
,ection.

Judge Johnson Of Denver was not ex-

THE courts of this state have de-
generated. The judiciary is permit
ting itself to be subjected to political
Influences. Instead Of endeavoring to
correct evils, it is Indifferent and thus
the judges become practically parties

raignment. 1t places the courts of
justice in very bad light, if true,
and the statement has not as yet been
