DEAFN ESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only enc way to cure deafness
aud that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by au inhamed con
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling 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 restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
stroyed forever. nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous sur faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
tor any case of deafness[eause by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

FASTER STEAMSHIPS


John P Hickey, of Washington, has
designed and recently patented hall
that promises to increase the speed of
steamships.
The object of this hull is to obviate
any and all abrupt swells or projec-
tons, particularly on the water line,
whereby the resistance OF the boat is
reduced to minimum. This is ac-
companied by so shaping the hull
that the load water line is virtually
straight or the curvature is so
slight as to cffer no appreciate resis-
tance.
This form is produced by main
tanning sharp bow throughout.
about fifteen or twenty per cent. OF
tie length of the boat, and then grad
ually increasing the outward pitch or
overhang of the boat toward the stern
the pitch line inclining upwardly
from the bow to the stern.
The is no appreciable enlargement
OF the lines at the bow for a distance
of rearly one-fifth the length of the
boat. At this point the swell or over
hang of the body begins, and extends
through out the remainder of the
len 9Th of the boat being greatest at
the centre
The point where the swell or over
hang begins at any portion of the
boat will be found on line starting
at the junction of the keel with the
body at point fifteen to twenty per
cent. in rear of the bow, the line ex-
tending aft and upwardly throughout
the remaining length of the boat.
This line becomes in effect the load
water line of the boat. The depth of
the keel is immaterial, and may be
varied as desired.
Hickey's first model was built in
Alexandria Va, by Charles A. Deane
This was boat 20 Ia feet over all,
with FIVE foot beam 3 I-2 horse
power gasoline engine, and develsped
a speed of ten and one half miles an
hour
Further tests were made by the
United Safes naval at authoritieslthe
Washington Navy Kard on March Q
and the boat was endorsed as the
easiest running model ever tested
there. There is process of constrsc-
ton larger and better model, that is
expected to attain speed in excess
of twenty miles an hour.
Compared with the ocean grew
hounds, boat built on this plan with
length of $50 feet, a beam of rs
feet. drawing rs feet of water, with
engines of $4,000 horse power, would
develop speed OF 20 $40 knots an
hour, CT nearly third greater than
the speed now made by our fastest
ships. Philadelphia North Americas.
A number OF persons in Jefferson
and this county have taken stock in

READ-HOWE.

Married, Wednesday evening, March
90, by Rev. G. S. Cunningham, Mr.,
Wayne B. Howe of this city and Miss
Charlotte Olive Read Of Jamaica, YER
mont. The ceremony was performed at
Mr.. Howe's pleasant residence on Clough
street, only his daughter Miss Marion
and his son Master Wayne, and the Fol-
SONS and Pendergasts witnessing the
ceremony.
Mr.. Howe was one of the early settlers
coming from the Vermont colony settle
ment in South Dakota to help found New
England; and for the past ten years a
resident of this city and interested in all
that tends to its best development, while
attending to considerable stock interests
outside. Mr.. Howe has a wide acquaint-
ance in city and country and his many
friends wish him all happiness and will
make his wife welcome to Dickinson.
Mrs. Howe like her husband is a Ver-
monter and was a schoolmate of Mr..
Howe's in the old Green Mountain state.
She has been prominent in the church
and social life of her home town and will
be greatly missed there. But she will
find the Westerners fully as cordial and
kind as the old friends left behind.
MI. and Mrs. Howe were the recipients
of many costly gifts. a sister OF the groom

The Snow Blockade.

The snow blockade on the Northern
Pacific, caused by the March 24-25 storm,
lasted from Thursday evening until the
following Monday noon, and was the
worst of its kind in many years. Tie
company was very unfortunate in this
blockade, having a series Of accidents
on this and the Dakota divisions, due in
a measure, undoubtedly, to the fact that
heavy power was used behind light snow
plows. For many years the company
has had very little trouble with snow
and they were not properly equipped
for this storm. An attempt was made
to send a Russell pillow down from Glen
dive. Four powerful engines were put
on behind and in the drift at Fryburg
hill something went wrong and the pillow
was turned end for end. The pile-up
was an awful sight. Engineer X. E
Grund of this city sustained a broken
leg and his fireman, Joseph Albo, was
severity shaken up. In the Russell were
Pete Berg, R. E. Brown. Pat Murn and
Ray Lowe. Mr.. Lowe was the only one
in this crowd who was injured. The
other engineers and firemen were mi
raculously spared from injury. The
company sent a special from Dickinson
to Bel6eld with medical assistance for
the injured men, but it took considerable
time to get from there t the scene of
the wreck owing to the snow in the cuts.
The snow pillow which was sent out
from Mandan ahead of the North Coast
Limited Friday morning was stalled a
mile and a half this side of Richardson
where it remained until Monday morn.
ing.
A rotatory pillow sent east from Dickin-
son was disabled east of Gladstone. A
Russell piow, driven by three big engines,
sent out from Mandan, went into a pile
up a short distance this side of Richard
ton, much as did the one west of Bel6eld.
The road was finally cleared and the
trains commenced to arrive from the east
at about oon Monday. Seven passen-
ger trains were then due and as many
more from the west. Some of the trains
from the west, however, were received in
Dickinson Sunday morning.
During the blockade President Eli
otis special was tied-up in jamestown.
The Great Northern was having seri-
Gus trouble at the same time, its snow
plows acting much the same as those on
the N. p.
The company's greatest fear now is
that the snow will 60 with a rush and
cause floods for a few days.
