Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inlamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be token out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucou surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

North Platte, Neb., July 3.-The I'm
ion Pacific has fled a suit in the cir
cult court o fthe Unite States, North
Platte division, attempting to recover
the outer strip OF 100 feet along the
right-of way OF that road. The defena
ants named in the case are w. M. Gun

Strip In Controversy.
For several years there has been 9
controversy over this strip, the rati
road contending that they are entitled
to the right-of-way 200 feet In width
on each side of the track and the prop
erty owners c%ontending that he right
of-way Is lawfully but 100 feet wide OH
one side of the track.
Two Acts of Congress.
Until recently the adjoining proper
ty owners have been in possession Of
all this land. The Union Pacific Rail
road company contends that 1t Is emil
tied to this strip of land by reason oil
two acts of congress, the former pa Sc
in 1862 and the latter being an amend
atory act passed in 1864.
Broad Right-of-Way.
The first law gave the railroad g
right-of-way 200 feet on each side Of
the track and every odd numbered sec
ton for ten miles on each side of the
track.
Strip Cut in Half.
The second law, which amended the
first, u down the right oI-way to 10C
feet on each side Of the track and dou
bled the number of sections given tc
the railroad as a bounty. For many
years the railroad never claimed this
~outerstrip of 100 feet and their printed
forms of deeds excepted a right-of-wa,
of but 100 feet on each side.
Suit as a Test.
The suit which has been filed here Is
instituted as a test case, and If the
railroad wins it is reported that they
will use the decision as a preceden'
to gain other lands where circum-
stances are similar.

Improving the Ranges

iU'PVoS'Hy tHe ndn8cS.-
Ever since James Wilson became
secretary OF agriculture he has had
a. desire to discover some grass that
would grow in the region of light rain
fall in the west.
: He has declared that the greatest
benefactor Of the American people
would be he who would discover some
process of making two blades Of grass
grow where n grew before and con
verting the sandy ranges Of the west
into fields for lush grass.
In the ~furtherance of this plan he
has just ordered Professor N. F. Han,
sen OF Brookings. s. d., to northern
Europe and Asia in the hope OF being
able to increase the cattle raising cap
acity OF the ranges III Montana, Colo.
RADIO, the Dakotas and this state.
Professor Hansen will study the
plant life of Siberia and Russia where
the climatic conditions are similar to
those in the Rocky Mountain area.
1t Is known that even in the dryest
parts of Siberia grasses grow which
furnish splendid grazing for the Rms.
sian herds.
1t is hoped that Professor Hansen
will be able to find some form of Glow.
er or alfalfa that grows in that country
that will stand transplanting. If the
ranges can be improved so that 100
cattle may be raised on the area 10Y
needed for the maintenance of ten it
will bring a wealth to the cattlemen of
the west that can hardly be estimated.

BRYAN'S CHANCES.

Is Bryan more likely to be elected
than he was when he ran against Mr..
Mckinley the last time? What are his
chances for carrying the nation east
or west? What causes render him
more popular with the people?
In both his former campaigns Mr..
Bryan stood for a single idea-the free
n unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other ma
ton. The idea was fully and freely
canvassed by the voters and repudiat-
ed. The strength of the question was
greater in the west than in the east.
All the mining states were wild over
the subject and a single standard man
could scarcely get a hearing. Populism
was rampant during both the cam
paigns referred TO n Bryan played
with particular ability to the ropulist
gallery. The silver craze faded away
and populism is a dead letter. These
two greatest sources of strength have
been taken from him. Montana.
Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming
have come back to the republican fold
with added strength. The fusion of
democracy and the populists is a thing
of the past, and the socialist vote
draws from the democratic to a greater
extent that it does, from the republican
party. In the west, therefore, Mr..
Bryan may be considered infinitely
weaker than he was in 1896 or 1900.
In the south of course Mr.. Bryan will
carry almost every state. 1t may be
possible that Missouri and Kentucky
will go back to the democratic column,
that is TO be expected. In the east he
he was on either of the former occa
sions n Mr.. Taft Is a bulwark of
strength. The men of New York ap'
pear to be solidly against him and fight
him at every turn. They take no stock
in his declaration for state or national
ownership of railroads and believe that
his cheap talk in favor of antiinjunc
ton is made for the sole purpose oil
appealing to passion and prejudice
Right now they are talking of slaugh
tering him and then rebuilding the
party for the struggle four years hence
They would rather have a man whom
they know to be safe and sane on al
governmental questions than one who
has been freaky and uncertain at every
turn.
Against Mr.. Bryan Mr.. Taft is &
tower of strength. In experience there
is no comparison. One is theory only
the other is theory and practice com
btned. Mr.. Taft has had rare judicia
training and he has had wide execu
tive experience not only at home buf
in the management of our insular pos
sessions. His executive training has
been of the successful kind. He doe.
not know how to fail. If the American
people had searched the entire nation
for a decade. they could not have
: found a man who was better qualified
from the standpoint of experience thar
Mr.. Taft He Is a great big broad-gaug
ed. competent American, who ha.
nothing but the best interests OF the
people at heart and who will take
pride onl; in doing those things tina
Will make his administration famous II
history.
Viewed from any standpoint, Mr.
Bryan's chances are weaker thar they
were in 1900.

He was never ritualist5c- He refused

but his refusal arose less from mis- objec-

in practices against his authority. He
