Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local aspirations, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the .ar There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitRional remedies Deafness is caused py an lnflsmed con- ditiop of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and thi. tube restored to it's normal conditic2, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is noth ing but an infismed condition of thu
 mucuous surfaces.

Arizona Indians
 Must Now Pay Fares

Another blow was struck at the poor old Indian by the Southern Pa ciic when it ordered the freight train men to keep the Indians of the tops Of the freight cars between Iuma and Los Angeles. This privilege of riding for nothing has been enjoyed by the Yuma long hairs since the road was built across the Colorado desert. The chiefs of the Yuma tribe claim it was given in return for the use Of the reservation lands along the Colorado river by railroads and they are calling the Southern Pacific what they them selves have ben 90 often called |, Indian givers.
 It has been a yearly event in. the lives of the Yuma Indians to go 10 Tucson or Les Angeles with all Of the fuss and feathers that could be obtair- ed in the little river town, and stand around on the streets for the beRef, of the natives.
 Thi. trip was always made on the observation part of manifest freight car and now that the road has refused to longer carry them asp. H. freight the only chance the bucks will have ts visit the old Pueblo will be to buy some firewater from a pale face brother and get to go ss a witness n thu United States court.
