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 caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam'
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing bat an inhaned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrhl

Want to Buy Waterworks.


At the last regular session OF the
city council of Temple, Texas, a
report was received from the citi-
zens committee, which has been
conducting negotiations with the
water works company for the past
several months with the view to-
ward purchasing the plant for the
city. The report stated that the
committee had offered the owners
of the plant the sum of $4,000
for its plant and entire assets, but
the latter would not accept less
than $131, 500. It was recon-
mended that another opportunity
be given the water company to
accept the committees offer, and
in the event it was refused then an
election be called for the purpose
of voting on an issue of $50. 900
in bonds with which to build an
entirely new plant to be built and
operated by the city. Acting
upon this report the council adopt
ed a resolution submitting an offer
of Sis, 600 for the entire assets of
the water company, same subject
to acceptance within forty-eight
hours. -Houston Post.
At the last meeting of the Cor
pus Christi city council a motion
was made and carried that COM
nittee of FIVE, including the mayor,
be appointed to confer with the
water works company and ascer-
tain ON what terms and price they
will dispose of the water works
plant to the city.
The water supply question has
become the paramount issue with
many people, as the company viii
not extend the mains to many
parts of the city which are totally
without water and would be at the
mercy of a FIRE should confagra
fion start. The intention is Il
purchase the plant, if possible
after submitting the matter to thu
people, by borrowing the money
and giving a lien on the plant.

TO STAMP OUT TRACH0MA-

The Mexican Government has
adonted measures to prevent the
immigration of persons suffering
from trachoma. This is a disease
of the eve that is incu1able, and it
has obtained footing in the sister
republic through the negligence of
the authorities in not taking steps
before this time to prevent the i'm
migration of persons afflicted with
the malady.
The immigration authorities of
the United States have had lot of
trouble with immigrants coming
from Mexico who were victims OF
this disease, and in every case the
.person have been deported. 1t has
appeared strange to the interested
observer that the government Of
Mexico allowed any immigrants Of
that class to cross its border
seeing that they were just as much
interested in the welfare of theil
citizens as the government of oul
own country. However, the deter
animation of the Mexican autho,
rites to refuse admittance 10 any

 The wheat market opened lEm because of decreased movement ID the Northwest and the steadiness ol the mafRet at Live' pol in the face of the severe slump tat .ooA place here yesterday. The market was also strengthened by numerous reports that Russia is still buying famine reliet sup plies in this country and in Europe. Early adviceS from the seaboard suggested thS' these dispatches were confirmed later bv the statement from New York that about thirty boatloads had been taken there for export. In addition to the strength gainsd from this source, the market was bu lish- ly affected by reports from st.

 by shorts and Commission houses while the chief ing was by longs. The market

 Washington. Feb. 20,-The hearings before the House Committee of Ex- penditures of the Marine Hospital Ser vice developed the fact that there is no hospital in the United States to which leprosy patients may be sent without pay, except one in Louisiana which accepts only State patients.
 It was also brought that the pro posed leprosy hospital in Hawaii will afford no refuge to American patients That hospital Is intended only for ex- periments as to the best methods of cure, and only forty patients are to be taken at time and these from the leper colony of the islands.
 On the point of taking patients from the United States. Surgeon General Wyman said that had been suggested but that the suggestion had not met with favorable consideration. because the Hawaiian people would be very much opposed to having their Island made leper resort for the whole United States.
