Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, ard that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
innamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
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 catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

constructed with double turrets. The
New Jersey is the last ship with
double turrets the government in.
tends to build. The double turret has
its disadvantages. according to nav
al experts.
After considerable delay the keel of
the New Jersey was laid in 1901.
Since then the work has gone rapidly
on but II will be another year before
the vessel will go into commission.
Then the total cost to the government
will he about S5.0OOOOO. The New
Jerseys length on loadwater line is
i2j feet, breadth &c feet and full load
draft 2G feet. Her displacement will
be $1,000 tons.
The New Jersey will have a speed
Of at least 10 knots. She will be pro
PEELED at this high speed by twin
screws driven by two four-cylnder
engines OF 10000 indicated horse
| power.
The New jerseys armament will
consist of four twelve-nch guns,
mounted by pairs in balanced turrets,
one turret being located forward of
the superstructure and the other aft.
OF the eight eight.inch guns, four will
! be mounted by pairs in turrets, and
! four i'm two broadside turrets located
amidships. There will also be a
broadside battery on the gundeck OF
! twelve siXinch rapid-fire guns, mount
ed six ON each side.
The secondary battery will consist
of twelve threeinch fifty.calibre rapid
fire guns, twelve semi-automatic, eight
heavy-automatic, two thirty-calibre
machine guns and six thirty-calibre
Colt Automatic guns. She will also
be fitted with submerged torpedo
tubes.
To make her defensive qualities
proportional to her offensive qualities
she is provided with complete water
line belt of armor, eight feet in width
eleven inches thick at the top ant
eight inches at the bottom. The New
Jersey has also a casemate armoreC
belt extending over 245 feet of hel
entire length.
1t is the intention of the govern
ment to make all the vessels of the
New Jersey and Virginia class flag
ships. With this end in view accom-
modations were made for one flag of

II there is one thing more manifest
than another 1t is that the people are
quite content to leave their public af-
fairs in the hands OF the republican
party so long as that party will be
true to her trust and treat the people
justly and with equal consideration
between rich and poor and the great
and humble. If there was one infiu-
ence more powerful than another in
winning the election il was that the
record Of honesty and justice estab-
lished by the republicans since they
have been in power has been salts
factory to the sovereign people. This
confidence has nobly withstood the as.
saults OF a desperate enemy who
would not hesitate to batter down
fact with demagoguism, and confuse
truth with fiction, and the same Sc
rene confidence in the majority party
will undoubtedly be manifest as long
as the party's representatives abide
by their sworn duty and uphold the
common public in matters pertaining

day night and played havoc to their
thorough satisfaction with the stock
Bonesteel has been remarkably free
from thieving throughout it's history,
this unlooked-for attack comes with
great degree of surprise
1t is plain to be seen that there are
yet a few stragglers in town who
should forthwith be eliminated, and
we trust a thorough investigation will
be launched with this purpose in view.
The culprits, whoever they were,
forced the rear window of the tin-shop
and thus placed themselves in posses
sion of more, and perhaps better tools.
Picking up a crow-bar in this room,
they pried the spiked hinges from the
door connecting with the main room
and thus cleared the field. The store
was dark, no light having been left
burning, hence the burglars could
operate without being seen by anyone
passing the front of the building.
Two or more pistols of 3S-calibre
were taken from the case, several
pocket knives were pocketed, the safe
rifed, and the till of the cash register
relieved of So, it's entire amount. A
visit was then made to the ammuni-
tion shelves. Being unable to see the
numbers on the cartridge boxes in
the dark, the thieves were compelled
to fall back upon the sense of touch.
Box after box was torn open disclos-
ing shells of every size, before the
desired ones were found.
1t has been found impossible so far
to place an exact estimate on the val
ne or amount of goods stolen. Some
thing over $50 worth has been found
missing though this sum may be in
creased by later discoveries.-Bone-
