Deafness Cannot BeYCured

by LEGAL applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
tacian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a Iumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be ia
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
arc caused by Ca'arrh, which is smoothing
but an intiamed condition of the mu-
cons surfaces.

TOPEKA TO HELP.
Self Governing Negro Colony to Re
Started in Colorado.

Denver, Col, April 21.-Another self
governing negro colony is TO be added
to the third set now in existence in this
country. A tract of 10000 acres is to
be bought in Colorado and applications
to be among the 100 to start the colony
are already being received by the men
who have it in charge
They are Rev. Allen Alleusworth,
chaplain of the Twenty-ffth United
States infantry, who will retire on the
age limit as colonel next month and
who will be president of the colony;
Rev. J. E. Ford, pastor Of Zion Bap-
list church. vice president; John Ad-
ans, editor Of the Western Appeal
secretary while the treasurer has yet
not been selected
Although the organfza ton viii prob
ably not be in operation before a year,
President Booker T. w ashington is ak
pected to arrive in Denver about MAY
30, to assist in the formation of the
Colorado Negroes Business league,
which is a national organization start
ed by him several years ago and from
which the colony will be an outcome.
The working of the colony will be
vastly interesting. The land along the
Moffat road was for some time strong
~ advocated but it was discovered that
it would be too cold for race used to
the balrny weather of the south and
10000 acres of land outside of La Junta
will doubtless be selected.
Only 100 persons Will be allowed to
start out, and from time to time as the
colony progresses more will be added.
Tt is the intention to have at first only
those who can pay 5000 or $500 for the
land, which viii be divided into farms
of 80 acres each.
Ten students from the industrial and
educational institute at Topeka. Kan,
will be among the 100 and will super
intend the laying cut of the land, the
filling Of the soil and putting out the
crops.
