There is only one way to cure deafness

famed condition of tine mucous lining

it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-

CIRCUIT COURT.

Inc regular ApIll Sihl vi thI III
cult court began on Tuesday morning
last with Judge E. B. Faulkner on the
( bench.
TIE grand jury vas sworn, charged
by the Court as to their duty and sent
to the room. The grand jury was com
posed of the following citizens OF
Berkeley county:

The most important case before the
jury was that against Parker Teter for
killing David Quirk. This case was
reached Tuesday afternoon after sew
eral others had been considered. The
matter of the unlicensed sale ofintox-
icants at Gerardstown was taken up,
but the members of the grand jury
decided that there was nothing in it
to warrant an Indictment. The fol-
lowing indictments were returned:
Ellsworth Oliver, felony on six
couuts. Oliver is accused of stealing
meat
Parker Teter, felony, the murder OF
David Quirk.
Arthur McKeever, misdemeanor, for
resisting an officer. Other indictments
will be returned before the jury is ex-
cused.
Three indictments were also return
ed against Arthur McKeefer tor felony
the charge being that he robbed Den
mis- 0 Council of some money and
watch.
J.R. Clifford, editor of the Pioneer
Press, of this city, was indicted on
three counts for misdemeanor, he
having published alleged libelous ar
ticles against Rev. George E. Curry
and Mamie Curry.
The case of J. NJ. Baker, for opera
ting a slot machine, was called. This
was a test case to establish whether,
the slot machines were gambling de-
vices, and as the question has been
settled by the supreme court IN the
affirmative, it was ordered by the
court that the case against Mr. Baker
be dismissed without prejudice to
him.

Night ''s,*1*7s@

a hot-water heater explosion in the

the Missouri pavilion at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition in four hours and
caused the death of one fireman and
the injury of four others, two Of which
were buried under a falling wall.
The fire was spectacular. Thous-

tons of the grounds, attracted by the
flames that spurted from the top Of
the cupolas, making "a far greater
brilliancy than the illumination of all
the buildings. A wind was blowing
from the south and the flames shot
down from the northern side of the
cupola and met a sheet of flames
which enveloped the northern wing.

A PIONEER IN. IRRIGATION:
j. S. Green Installs An Irrigation Pumping
Plant On the Heart River, Five Miles
West of Mandan

u j. s. Green Of Mandan is one of the
pioneer irrigators of the state. Mr..
Green owns some 400 acres of land
along the Heart; river at Sunnyside,
about five miles west Of Mandan, and
has constructed an irrigation plant
upon his own account. About 200
acres of land lies on the east side of
the river, with a gentle slope away
from the stream. The land lies about
fifteen feet above the stage Of water
in the river, and to get the water on
the land it is necessary to pump it to
that height. To obtain sufficient
water for pumping purposes. Mr..
Green hasbuilt a dam across. the river:
The river at the point where the dam
Is built is 127 feet wide, which is the
width of the dam from bank to bank.
The dam is built of brush and rock.
Bundles of brush have: been, cut and
fashioned into brooms, as is done in
cases of ordinary riprapping along
streams where there Is a tendency to
quick erosion. These have been laid
on the bottom Of the stream, length
wise with the current. Upon these
have been placed loads Of gravel to
weight them down, and the top Is
weighted with heavier stones. A
s1uiceway is left to permit the water
to drain through and into the channel
below the dam. :: r.
This dam has been built in the
course Of the past summer at a cost
of about $500. The exact cost cannot
be told, aS the work was done at odd
times by men who are otherwise en-
ployed about the place. The dam
gives an average stage Of water above
of about five feet, where before there
was only a shallow stream a.; few
inches in depth. It makes little II
any perceptible difference with, the
stage of water below. This stage Of
water above the dam affords ample
water to supply the pumping station.
It will also, Mr.. Green is confident,
supply sufficient water for, the irriga-
tom Of the 200 acres of land east OF
the river. s /. y r. I: E#.. ..#E5
This dam is also reinforced with
another dam to the east, which does
not span the river but checks the
water in coulee that drains con-
siderable stretch Of billy land. This
