DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eutachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case nf Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars. free.

TURK CLEARLY oUTcLAssED.
In Contest at Cananea-SulIiVan and
 Benson Fight to a Draw.

The Terrible Turk" got another hard fall taken out of him at Cananea Sunday night The bout was with Davie, and clearly showed that the Turk has no business with Yarn ey. Davie played his man out in the fl st bout, gathering all the points the Turk had at command, and sacrificing the round. In the second and third bouts Davio utilized what he had learned in the first bout, and the way he put it to the Turk was a plenty. Tn the Suliivan-BensOn mill both men went at it for blood, and despite the warnings of the referee, D. w. Sem pie, made some heavy strikes. Four rounds were the agreement on this event Neither man had declared adj vantage at the end of the contest, and draw was announced. A later con test is to be scheduled.

Secretary Bateman. of the Mitchell ! Development Co.,, returned to the city yesterday from his visit at the prop erty. The latter was for a double purpose, settlement with the ground owners and decision as to the manrer of future development both being in- yolved.
 At the Copper Queen hotel last night, Mir. Bateman said that the trip had been fraught with more than gra,i- flying success. He had found the ground owners not only agreeable to but desirous of taking stock in the company in payment for their claims. and had found that assessment work done on the ground had been produc. tive of more than satisfactory results. A part of this assessment done in drift had exposed an ore body that added very materially to the assets of the company, both in the minds of the ground owners. the visiting officials and in the esteem of competent min ing men who had taken a look at the new discoveries.
 It is the present intention C. MT. Bateman to return to Michigan on Thursday morning. He will take back with him report to the eastern stock holders of a situation at the property that he is convinced must prove high ly satisfactory to them. Things are in very much better shape at the prop erty, Mir. Bateman said last night. than he had expected to find them.
 The big card that Mr. Bateman will have to take home with him, of course. is the announcement that the property owners desire stock in lieu of cash, with the understanding, of course. that development is to be crowded on the ground. Development. they s3y. is all they desire. They are sati sdad that it will bring results. Men were at work yesterday at the main shaft to unwater the latter. When this work is completed. it is the opinion of Mir Bateman that matters will be in such shape that there will be no question l about the future.

TO MEET DOUGLAS AGAIN.
Bisbee Fans Think That They Stand
 for a Winning Next Sunday.

Now that Fl Paso has been twice downed by Douglas, the meeting ar ranged between Bisbee and Douglas for next Sunday at the Don Luis park will be of more than usual interest. Douglas at Fl Paso played with the advantage of Bisbee's crack pitcher. Without him, can she throw up an ar ticle of ball equal to the Bisbee pro- duct. Previous experiences tend to the conclusion that the Shelter City crowd can come in for the money, but Bisbee fans say no. Sundays game will tell the story. It is the present expectation that the Sunday following will see a game at Douglas between Bisbee and Douglas.

IN SWEDEN.
Only Country In Which the Spnrkstot-
ting IL In Common Use.

The Swedes have made a fine art OF
shedding. Their fastest sled is called
the sparkstotting and is All exceed
insly light sled hat the inhabitants
Of Norrland, a province situated at the
north Of Sweden, employ during the
winter as n means of locomotion.
The use Of it now extends through
out Sweden, where races upon this
original vehicle constitute one of the
most highly appreciated sports OF Win
ter. Among other people OF the north,
Iii Russia, Scotland and Germany, this
sport is entirely unknown, a fact that
is somewhat extraordinary. considering
that the sparkstotting can be employ
ed in all countries in which the rigors
of winter permit of the use Of ordi-
nary sleds.
The sparkstotting is constructed eE-
trely of Norway spruce. 1t is straight,
Of elongated form and weighs no more
than thirty pounds. 1t consists of two
runners, curved upward in front. and
six and onc-half feet in length. TO
each OF the me is fixed an upright
that serves both as n point of support
and n tiller. The entire affair is cen
nectcd by two or three CroSSpicrcS. one
Of which supports Il light seat placed
twelve inches above the surface.
The Norrlanu sled differs pcrccptt-
bly, from the N~cslerbotten type, i'll
which the unncrS which are much
shorter, are not shod with iron, but
are we'll creased or i~mpregnated with
boiling tar. The lightest n best type
for racing is the one manufactured at
Umca, Norway. In order to push the
s~parkstotting the racer, bearing with
both hands upon the eXtremitlcs Of
the upriGhts, places his left foot upon
the runner to the left, and then with
the right foot strikes h ground at
regular intervals so as to propel the
sled forward.
II the snow Is very hard and the
racer is not provided with spiked shoes
it is necessary for him to fix steel calks
to the soles. In recent times a hori-
zontal bar, breast high, has been placed
between the uprights. This modifca-
ton renders the steering easier and
besides permits of governing with a
single hand. Upon n level route the
sparkstottinS reaches a pretty good
speed without great effort.
An experienced racer, when the
snow is in good condition, can easily
attain tile speed of Il horse on Il trot.
In ascents it is necessary to push the
sparkstotting or to drag it, but this
does not cause much fatigue, owing
to it's lightness and the feeble surface
in contact with the snow. With this
sled it is possible to run very fast.

To be such a successful wife, to re-

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Ever since my child was born I nave suf-

UNCLE SANS BABY PRISONER.

How Il Chinese Child Has Become q
Ward of th- Nation.
The Youngest prisoner in the United
States is Iute IIo ii, aged ). She has
zee q prisoner Of Uncle Sam for more
than -four ye&rs. The crime for which
she is paying the penalty is the .cri&le
of being o girl baby, which in China
is q crime indeed. She was born in an
interior village i'll lima and her
mother was very glad to take $40 Of
fered by n woman who went there
from San FraAcisco to buy slave girls
for the San Francisco Chinatown.
The buyer knew her bargain, for
what were the risks of the child's
death to the possible $4,000, $1,000 or
$4,000 she would bring in a dozen
years or so? She was young enough.
too, to have her feet bound and be
palmed off as of a better class than
that from which most slave girls
come.
She was happy, this slave dealer,
when she sighted IA Francisco on her
return journey. and she shutfled easily
along the pier when she left the boat.
The inspectors all knew her. for she
had been back and forth many times.
1t was because they knew her that
they questioned her about the little
bundle in her arms. She told them
the baby was her own. for it is a lie
that comes first to a Chinaman's lips.
This was her undoing. In the court
she added lie to lie, but in the end
tho Judge know that the baby had not
llceE BORN to her. She had no right to
bring it in without papers and b had
not thought of this.
The infant could not be Deposited,
because no amount Of questioning
could make the woman reveal the
home Of the child. Besides, the judge
did not see that the child would be
better off with a mother who would
sell her for $40 than with q woman
who would pay that for her. On the
other hand. she could not be entered,
and babies under a year are too little
to go to Jail. At length the judge de-
cided to turn his little prisoner over
to a mission that makes a business of
rcscuing Chinese slave women, with
tho agreement of 40 cents a day for
her board. In the four years she has
