\ A visit to Colorado awaksns "A un-
sual interest in the study Of geology.
Here one sees great many, what seems
to us freaks OF nature. One becomes to
wonder what this Old earth Of ours IL
really made Of and what is the cause Of
some Of these Freaks. Heretofore the

after look at Pueblo we seem TO see .

had to do with the formation Of the
earth. Slice of piece Of layer cake
and you get an idea Of the formation Of
the cake. Some Of these bluffs around
Pueblo lock as though como huge knife
had sliced the outer edge of, revealing
as it we're. huge layer cake, its various
layers ofstratta being easily distinguish

stones. These stones are what took our
eye and gives us some comprehension Of
what the scientists talk about when they
tell us that a great deal Of the present
surface Of the earth has slid down from
the mountains in the form OF glaciers.
The stones which we would call cobble
stones are Of ali shapes and sizes yet are
perfectly smooth with no rough edges,
just as though each stons had been
rounded and polished by hand. Ifysu

in Colorado that they attract no atten-

visit to the west. We are now going to

Deafness Cannot 30 Cured

Deafness Cannot BIO 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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caueed by an infamsd con-
dition Of the mucous lining OF the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it il entire
ly closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inf1amstion can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditiop, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Cat
arrh. which is nothing but an inflsmed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.

The Carthage Democrat in q
note of warning to the Democratic
party on the eve of that party's,
primaries aud county convention,
gives some pertinent truths which
not only the Democratic party,
but the Republican party as well,
would dc we'll to heed.
Here are q few extracts from
Brother Roach's pen.
Honesty oompels the candid
to admit that Jasper is doubt
full county.
"The election Of Douglas as gov
ernor Of Massachusetts, Patterson
in Ohio, johnson in Minnesota,
the Roosevelt presidential electors
in Missouri, and of Warner as the
successor of Senator Cockerel,
speaks in thunder tones of the
power of independent voters that
citizen who may be depociat or
republican, but who is capable
and anslyze issues and vote for the
man that he regards will as an Of
fetal best carry out his ideas of
what civil government should be-.
"This county has always been
famous for having within its bor-
ders large independent vote that
has generally been neither demo-
cratic nor republican. They are
not the kind that can be bought
and sold. They ere governed by
convictions, and are as law abiding
and respectable as the best.
ITO their number may be added
that class of Independent party
men that always "vote for the
man" and take his name off the
other ticket and write it on theirs.
These independent democrats and
independent, republicans are an
uncertain quantity. They are the
kind that elected Cleveland Cover.
nor of New York, and made Brad
ley, a republican, governor of old
Kentucky.
"This voter is an uncertain
quantity in Jasper county. he is
ordinarily a party man, but party
man of most pronounced convic-
ton. He votes for what he thinks
is right, and he votes as fearlessly
as the early Christian martyrs
faced persecution and death.
whether the democratic or re-
publican party wins in this cam
gaign depends mainly on the men
nominated and what the people
with convictions think Of the diff
ferent nominees"
