SOME days ago the Carson APP

which they have treated the press
of the State. At no session of
any legislature dominated by the
Silver (?) Party has there been a
failure to propose some legislation
which would to some extent Grip
pie the newspaper business
throughout the State, and any
legislation proposed for the bene-
fit of the press was summarily
squashed unless it was simply for

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
aemedies. Deafne is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed 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 nor
NAL condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrhl that cannot be cured by

the papers continue to caress the
hand of the party which is cut
ting their Threats. The reason for
this action of Mr.. Newland's legis-
latures is that by impoverishing
the press by taking legitimate
work away from it he can secure
the support of portion of it at
reduced rates, and make some of
the papers subservient to his
wishes if they try to continue
publication. From appearances
the Eureka Sentinel is getting on
to the manipulator's manner of
buncoing the press, as it registers
a vigors kick in its last issue in re-
gard to the unjust discrimination
in favor of daily papers in the
publication of annual statements
by corporations.

sentence of Cochi Segmiller,
Indian, from death to life im-

was sentenced to be hanged on

is inconsistent. Some months ago
it committed the sentence of one
Burial, who committed cold

universal that Burial should have
been hanged, while public opinion
was Just as universal that Seq

the GOVERNMENT MAY BUILD ROADS.

There is a bill introduced in
Congress by the Hon. Walter P.
Brownlow, of Tennessee, and the
Hon. Jacob H. Gallinger, member
of the Senate from New Hamp-
shire, appropriating $24,ooo,ooo
on the part of the National Gov
eminent as National aid in build
ing wagon roads. This money is
to be apportioned among the
States according to their population
except that no State shall receive
less than $25o,ooo.
Each State receiving National
aid from the Government must
add like amount to the sum re-
ceived. This will, therefore, cause
the spending of $48,ooo,ooo for
roads and will build from 5000 to
1000 miles of splendid road and
will place in each State from 100
to 900 miles of fine hard road,
which will not be affected by
frost or spring rains and on which
the farmer can haul the year
round. 1t will be great advant-
age to those living near it, but it
will be far greater advantage to
the whole country because it will
be a wonderful object lesson and
will prove to everyone that a
good, hard road which can be
used the year round, no matter
what the rains are, is good and
desirable thing; it will make
everyone who sees this road and
who uses it want more roads Just
like it, and will cause more roads
lust like it to be built.
While under the Brownlow Bill
the building of 5000 to 1000 miles
of splendid road is a great thing,
yet it seems to many that the
great advantage of this bill is the
wonderful object lesson which 100
to 500 miles of fine road will pro-
duce when built in every State of
the Union.
The National Government gives
the rivers and harbors some $780,
100000 year.
1t gives the cities great public
buildings, post offices, court
houses, etc.
1t gives manufacturers protec-
ton by the tariff.
1t gives its veterans and their
families $I4o,ooo,ooo year in
pensions as it should.
1t has loaned its credit to pri
vate individuals to build railways
and given them grants of millions
of acres of land.
1t has, however, done but little
for the farmer and for agriculture
The farmer is the backbone of
the country; it is he who feeds
the entire population, and he is
no longer satisfied with poor roads.
At last it seems as if the Ma
tional Government was going to
do something for the farmer.
Every farmer in the State
should petition our Senators and
Congressman to do all in their
power to see that the Brownlow

BISHOP EGEDE'S SEA SERPENT.
Seen June 18th, i794.

1t Is remarkable fact that through
all time common sense has arrayed itself
upon the side of ignorance, prejudice
and narrowness. 1t was common sense
that retarded the development of the
steam engine and the steamship. 1t
combatted Columbus. sneered at the At
lantic cable and jeers at aerial naviga-
ton.
AS Professor Proctor, the famous Eng
lish scientist, says: 1.-THE greatest diff
culties in obtaining evidence in regard
TO the sea serpent is the ridicule with
which its publication is greeted. Natu-
ralists have been far less incredulOus
than the general public. We confess
we do not see how we can set aside
such a chain of probabilities
First mention of the sea serpent dates
back to the time of Pliny and Aristotle.
But it is not until the sixteenth CEN
fury that the first personal observations
are recorded.
Between then and to-day more than
two hundred different appearances are
mentioned. This list only includes those
observations that were witnessed by
several people.
CLAUS Magnus. Archbishop of Upsala
mentions that in 1855 he saw a large
serpent swimming near the island of
Moos, on the Norwegian coast. 1t was
some seventy-five feet in length, with
a small head and two flappers, or fins,
on its neck. The monster swan leisure
ly on the surface for a time: then dived
and was lost to view.
