There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed cen.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham
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 but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

A Bold BURGLAR.

Considerable excitement was
caused Monday night by the ap-
peaIance of a burglar at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. ], G. Fernandez
on Elizabeth street. 1t was about
ten when he first tried to enter one
of the rears doors. Mr.. Fernandez
detected the intruder and went out
with his pistol, but the rascal made
his escape by the back gate which
he had unlocked from the inside.
He left behind a bundle of clothes
which it was found afterwards that
he had stolen from the adjoining
residence of Mrs. A. V. Kennedy.
The thief returned, however, in
about an hour and this time Mr..
Fernandez fred two shots at him,
but without effect. The police ap-
peared on the scene at this time,
but the thief had disappeared.
TIE same rascal returned some
time later in the night again and
carried away several articles from
the yard.
The residence of Mrs. Terrell in
the same vicinity was also burglar
lied the same night, very probably
by the same man, the back door
being priced open and a quantity
of household articles stolen.

MOnied Men Of the Town win Erect a
Fine Modern Hotel.

Victoria, Tex, April 49, There
is a strong move being made to
organize a company to erect a
modern and up-to-date hotel here.
It is figured that good hotel will

the time is ripe for it.
Several of the monied men of the
city are back of the scheme at
present and it is hoped that few
weeks will see the proposition take
definite shape.

London Women Riding Astride.

Riding astride is said to be grow
ing in favor rapidly with the wo-
men of Londen's smart set. Many
prominent women of the highest
social class have followed the ex-
ample set year or more ago by
the Duchess of Westminster, the
Viscountess CastIeragh, the young
daughter of the Duchess of Suther-
land, and others, and appear daily
wearing the divided skirt instead
of the habit.
One reason for the popularity of
the cavalier style of horseback rid
ing is that one may learn to ride
that way quicker than upon a Sue
sidd saddle. Increased safety is an
other argument in its favor. Lon
don tailors have devised habit
for such riders which almost con-
ceals the fact that side saddle is
not in use.
It is unlucky to come home hungry
and find a black cat in the pantry.

BOUNDARIES LEND SUPPORT.
THE Inland Empire lying thus
between the international boundary
on the north. the Cascade mountains
on the west and the Bitter Root
mountains on the east, has natural
boundaries to lend some support TO
the proposition that Il should be sep
aTate division or state. Much en-
phasis is laid by the advocates Of the
plan upon the alleged fact that there
II little sympathy and continual frIc-
tion between the people OF eastern
and western Washington, and like
wise eastern Oregon. II Is maintain
ed that they are divided by nature
their interests also are divided and
can not DO reConciled. On the other
hand attention Ii called to the re-
markable identity Of interest and
resources In those portions Of the
three states which go 10 make the
Inland Empire. Agriculture, mining
numbering and grazlng--these are
alike the primary resources Of eastern
Washington, northeastern Oregon and
northern Idaho, while the same eli
mate. soil and character of forest
wealth II to be found In all.
ARGUMENT INTERESTING.
ut 10 at least an interesting and
instructive argument; for we are all
apt to DO weak on the geography Of
our own country, II for no other rea.
son than that there is so much Of It.
But whether congress will consent TO
the formation OF such state in case
the inhabitants of its proposed area
should decide to push the matter 10
another question. Selfish reasons
would certainly lead to some opposl-
tlon from eastern states disInclined
to see their Importance In the senate
relatively diminished, and the policy
of state division, If thus revived,
might be carried far. Moreover, the
constitutional requirement that the
Legislatures Of all the states concern
ed must frat agree presents another
obstacle. The formation Of the pro.
posed state would seriously diminish
the Importance of Washington and
Oregon, and for that reason 1t will
be opposed and probably
defeated"
