Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan 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 in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred doll
lars for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

say it is the best cough medicine
I have ever TAKEN" says Geo. l..
Chubb, a merchant of Harlan,
Mich. There is no question about
it's being the best, as it will cure
a cough or cold in less time than
any other treatment. It should
always be kept in the house ready
for instant use, for a cold can be
cured in much less time when
promptly treated. For sale by

In an address before the Salvation

Thursday, H. Rider Haggard, the
noted English author, who is now
in this country studying social and
industrial conditions as the represent
ative of the British government, gave
utterance to the following declara-
ton:
81 see nothing but revolution and
ruin in this country If you do not
curb your gigantic trusts. Prices
have been elevated to the prohibitive
point for all except the very rich,
and this will cause trouble unless a
remedy is quickly and thoroughly
applied. Why, the bacon we eat in
Amity on the table costs more in
Colorado, where it is made, than 1t
does in England"

Don't Kick.

The Craig Courier kicks at delays
in the arrival of the Meeker-C Craig
stage, alleging unnecessary delays at
this end of the line. We beg to in
form the Courier that it Is misin-
formed in the matter. Only once
during the past winter and spring,
Agent Saltmarsh informs us, was
the stage held at this end beyond the
appointed hour of departure, and
that occurred one morning when
some passengers bound for Craig.
first said they would not go that
morning, and then, changing their
mind, appeared as stage was about
to pull out, necessitating change of
stages, etc, and consequent delay of
nearly an hour.
The delays complained of are prob
ably due to the impossible condition
of the roads, which never before were
known to be SO bad In these parts as
during the past few weeks.
Our mail from the south comes in
from two to six hours behind sched-
ule time, but we are not complain
ing. We know that the drivers are
doing the best they can under diff
culties, the like of which have never
heretofore been encountered in stag
ing in Northwestern Colorado. In
stead of finding fault at delay in
receiving mails, our sympathies go
out to the drivers, passengers and
horses.

late is that which has for Its object
the diversion of the waters of the
Duchesne and its tributaries from
the eastern to the western slope of

scheme be successfully carried out 1t
would deprive prospective settlers on
the Uintah reservation of the natural
