A DOUGLAS PgTITIoN.-A letter


 was received at the governors office yesterday from Mayor w. NJ. Adamson of Douglas, concerning the proposed opening of a club in Agua Prieta, just across the line, which it is generally believed is to be used as a gambling resort for the purpose of enticing into Mexico and fleecing visitors to Doug las. who are known to have money and a sporting inclination. The promoter has secured a concession from the Mexican authorities for opening the club, and a large element of the Doug las people desire the revoking of the permit Open gambling is illegal in Sonora though permits are given re- | sponsible parties for conducting games | in the privacy of their own clubs and | it is believed the promoter referred to seeks to take advantage of this privi- | Iege for securing the patronage of Americans through emissaries and | friends oa this side of the line. MT. Adamson requests that the facts be ] laid before President Diaz and Gov ernor Torres that they may take the action the Douglas people desire. Act 1 ing Governor Nichols in accordance with the request, yesterday addressed
 letter to Governor Torres on the subject though of course all that the ! Arizona officials can do in the prem ! ises is to advise the Mexican authori- ] ties of what is going on and what is feared by the Douglas people.

 are two or three little things the Crit tenton Home would like the public to

 Der of girls it is sending to school and caring for as to the necesSaries, but it
 is felt that they are of an age when their musical talents should be culti- vated also. The home is in no posi- tioD to pay for special instruction in music. The management would like therefore, to have some musician of at least acceptable talent. volunteer to donate his or her services for the ben eft of these girls. It is not expected that a thorough musical education
 can thus be secured but it may be pos sible that some one will give these girls at least the beginning of musi-
 cal educatiOns. Another request is for the donation of set of books. or
 any part of it. suitable for the fourth
 grade. for the use of one girl who can not well attend school but who desires
 to pursue her studies at home. Still another thing the home management
 desires to have generally known is the
 fact that as a means of adding to the

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con ditiOn of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and tais tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness Ccaused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

that sen bathing cf every kind went
on without producing any astonish-
