Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications 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
iniiameu condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to it's normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever, nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh. which
is nothing but an intlamed condition
Of the mucous services
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness aused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by

factory in Improvements-Mor
Streets to Be included.

The street committee of the city
council are now figuring with the rail
road companies over rates for the
bringing OF rock into Walla WALL
streets that the council had decided To
improve. Several good rock uuarries
have been located near the city and if
4 reasonable rate can be secured from
the transportation companies. the
street committee will use the rock
from these quarries III preference to
the bOulderS from the gravel beds Of
Mill creek near the lower end of the
city.
one of the committee said yeSter-
day: Our experience has been that
the rock that is taken from Mill creek
has not proven satisfactory in the past
and we intend to use Il better quality in
the proposed Improvement of the
streets. In taking the rock from Mil
creek. and the cellars that are excavat-
HU Tor the new buildings III the city
Il large quantity of small round stones
ara gathered. which generally pass
through the Crusher without being
broken up. 1t is then spread on tha
street and when the crushed product
is rolled these small stones are left on
the surface of the streets. The com
mittee believes that the large rock is
the best material to use and we will
experiment with it
Since the council has taken up the
matter Of street Improvement. a large
nuTnher of the residents of the city out
side of the district established for i'm
prOvement. have become interested in
the matter and they will ask the coun-
Gil to extend the limits and include
the streets abutting on their property.
In addition to the petitions from the
taxpayers along Birch and PalOuse.
there will be several others presented
to the council in a short time.

that the supposed ash heap was

Refused to Grant Extradition.

Governor Warfeld has refused
to issue warrant on the extradi-
ton papers which we've issued by
the State of Massachusetts for the
arrest of Edward j. Canaan on ac-
count of some discrepancies in the
affidavits of Joseph e. Bradbury,
who obtained the requisition.
Bradbury made contradictory aft
davits and declared that his object
in seeking Cannan's arrest was for
the purpose of obtaining from him
the money which he had paid
Canaan for the right to sell a GER
tain kind of medicine, Bradbury
claiming that he had no authority
to make the sale. 1t was shown
by Canaan, that he had the requirL
ed authority and that it was not
revoked until after the sale was
made. Canaan was charged with
obtaining money under false pre-
tense by the sale of certain rights
he did not possess.
