Should Be Developed.

The mere fact that the Improvement
of the Missouri Is necessity Ia the
satisfactory Improvement Of the Mis-.
sissippi, i, need hardly be said, is but
should be developed 70 it's fun com
lnercal capacity The chief arguments
for it's improvement are to be adduced
from the great and growing needs Of
the population of the northwest it,
self. These phases of the subject are
too extensive to be more than touched
lIuon here But attention may be called
10 the fact that the basin of the
Missouri embraces practically the
whole of five great states and nearly
or quite half Of four others. These
nine states produced in 1906, 355, S57, 900
bushels Of oats, 3o,,353.0oo bushels of
wheat, and 1llG.95I,ooD bushels of
corn. on nearly 81 pc. cent Of the oats,
AZ per cent of the wheat and over 3S
prr cont of the corn raised in the
United States in that year. They con-
tIibuted sl.146.G59,oo0 worth of man
iifacturcd products to the country in
1905. Then population in 1901 VAS es-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they canno'
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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
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 infaned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

THE HERALD has made several
requests and attempts to secure the
list of the petit jurors for this term
of the district court, which con-
venes here on next Monday, Feb
ruary 3rd., but has been repeated
ly refused by the district clerk to
allow THE HERALD to have them.
Upon a request this afternoon by a
HERALD reporter to the district
clerk for list of the jurors, he
gave as his reason for the refusal
that he and other court officials had
agreed that they would not make
public the names of the jurors
drawn for the coming term.

Chicks and Chickens.

The cocks and hens of the barn
yard are unique among feathered
animals in the fact that they have
no specific name. We call them
chickens, but as a matter Of fact a
chicken is a young barnyard fowl,
and the term should not be applied
to an old fowl. We have become so
used to calling them chickens, how
ever, that there IS little chance Of
making a change 1t seems strange
that the naturalists did not give
them a suitable name at the outset.

the liveliest town in the northwest
and looks proportionately as fast as
Chicago Besides having made a
success as theatrical manager.
