Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an intiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
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 nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

ed Old Home Week, and in Massachu-
sets where the observance was taken
up only afew years ago, a growing in
terest is manifested and each season
adds to the towns and cities which wei
come their home people from all sec
tions of the country. In Maine, un-
fortunately, Old Home Week has been
allowed to die out, although locally it
was Il great success aud brought about
many pleasant reunions. This is
probably because of the trouble and ex-
pcnSe involved in preparing and carry
ing ont an elaborate program, which is
not at all necessary. The receptions
given by the Improvements Society were
not the least enjoyable of the events of
the Old Home Week obseIvances and
the High school reunion was another
feature which will bear repetition
Fireworks and a parade are not essen
tial features of Old Home Week, and
we hope an effort may be made this
year to observe it, socially at least.
In sketch of the Fraternity Club of
Portland the Daily Argus gives a por-
trait of Hon. George F. Talbot, accom-
panied by brief biography, in which
we note one omission. After resigning
his position as solicitor of the United
States Treasury Mr.. Talbot became the
editor of The National Union of Wash
ington, D. c., daily started by Hon.
John Lynch, who represented the first
Maine district in the 41st and And Con-
crosses. The writer was the Congress
sional reporter for the paper. The Ma
tional Union met with remarkable sue
cess for new paper and in very short
time its receipts nearly met the ex-
penses. The mistake was then made
of cutting down expenses to make both
ends meet, and the paper died, as did
the horse that was trained to live with
out eating. Mr.. Talbot is native of
East Machias, town which has pro-
duced many distinguished men.

and entered the room to shake the boy.
He found the body rigid in death.
Young Burden had been in good
health up to and until the time he
went to bed Friday night as far as any
one in the camp knew. He did not
complain and did a hard days work
without mentioning any feeling of
sickness he may have had. He went
to bed early, and none saw him until
he was found dead.

ARTESIAN WELLS
NEAR CALDWELL

Gem State Rural: Two miles north
west of Caldwell, on the farm of Fred
Sundma, are four flowing artesian
wells. The average depth of these is
around 100 feet. They differ in dis
charge, but all have a steady flow
and the water is soft and of good quail
ity. Mr.. sandman struck this strata
of water a year ago, when he was
boring well, and the strongest well
fills a 4-inch pipe. His first flow was
at a depth Of about so feet and was
tapped after passing through a 12-foot
strata of blue clay following quick
sand. The second flow was struck at
depth of nearly 100 feet and was
found in the same formation. Mr..
sandman thinks that not only could a
stronger flow be secured at a greater
depth by using a longer pipe, but that
warm water would likely be found.
He has not taken the temperature
Of the present wells with accuracy, but
the water would be considered cold,
he says, any day in the year. He res
ervoirs the water and uses it for irri-
cation as we'll as for domestic purpos-
es and says the supply has been a
great help to his meadow and gar
den this season.

hundred people knew that about 5
o'clock Thursday morning this city
experienced a distinct tremor, says the
Baker City Herald
And most of that hundred thought
they dreamed, that some one had ex-

door in their home has slammed sud-
denly and awakened them
official confirmation of the culver
comes from Weather Observer John
Grover. Mr.. Grover has had a score
of reports of the quake, and from
many different places in this vicinity,
although Thursday he secuted the idea
of quake, this morning he confirmed
the suspicion that there must have
What ever it was, however, the
quake was purely local. Not word
regarding it has been heard from out
side sources. No other Oregon town
seems to have experienced it.
In Baker it was felt all over town,
particularly in the northwest part.
Heavy sleepers did not notice it.
Where it was felt it left odd i'm
pressions. One man awoke suddenly
feeling a jar and hearing a noise, and
rushed upstairs to see how badly his
little boy was hurt. He thought the
lad had tumbled out of bed. One of
the victims" at the breakfast table
recited his experience and was prompt
ly told by his wife that one of the
doors in the house had blown shut
That's what she thought it was and
he believed the lady. In the north
west part of town Thursday morning
several people were asking where
there had been an explosion about 5
o'clock
The CULVER was felt at the Virtue
mine. One lady who experienced the
shock said that she believed some wa
gon heavily freighted was passing the

IUMPY JAW"
FROM HIS HORSE

KIONA, Sept. Al. NJ Perry, for
merly resident of Kiona, but for some
ness at Kennewick, recently under
went an operation at the Kennewick
hospital for supposed cancer of the
face
The disease was peculiar, however,
and was finally diagnosed as a case
Of lumpy jaw, a disease peculiar to
horses. The assistant state veterinar-
ian, DR.. A. J. Damman, of Ellensburg,
was consulted and acquiesced in the
diagnosis.
It was then ascertained that last sum-
mer, while living at Kiona, Mr. Perry
was working a horse which was suffer-
ing from lumpy jaw, though no one
supposed the disease was communica-
BILE to human beings. DR.. Damman
came to Kiona and found the diseased
horse He took samples of the exuda-
lions from the sores on the horses
jaw and will have them analysed to de-
termine the correctness of the diagno-
sis. The disease, in Mr.. Perry's caes
is practically the same as cancer. Much
interest is taken in the case by ply
sicians.
