Suffers From Gout and Suspends All
Audiences.
Rome, Jan. 1S.-Various alarming
rumors were in circulation regarding
the health of Pope Plus They were
to the effect that his holiness had suf-
fered a stroke of apoplexy, that he
had bad fainting spell and that
the disease OF the heart from which he
suffers had suddenly grown worse.
The reports were more alarming in
character than those circulated when
Pope Plus. few days after his cleo
tion, tainted in the Pauline chapel
while celebrating his first pontifcial
mass. All were greatly exaggerated,
however, as the pope is only again suf-
fering from the gout. The attack be-
came so acute that by the advice OF his
physician his holiness postponed the
audiences.

Used to the public last night a con-
tinuous roar of laughter from the
raise of the curtain on 1.-TWO Old
Cronies,' until the gand finale, and
they did it. The man who didn't
laugh at The Lyric last night, was
wooden man, a hopeless cynic, or
an insane Englishman. The largest
crowd of the season was out and
they laughed until their sides shook,
and then laughed until the very floor
of the theatre shook, so universal
was the enjoyment of the ever-in-
creasing fun.
John b. Wills was the funniest fun
maker Although he was on the stage
time after time and when the audi
ence would think that he had made
enjoyment enough for one night he
would come on again with something
just as rich as before. He kept them
all laughing from start to finish and
was whole show by himself
The rest of the company were not
far behind in the way of grinding out
the fun and entertainment. Kate
Helston in the song Where the
Sweet Potatoes Grow" was also one of
the hits of the evening. A novel and

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 inhamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inhafn
ed you have rurnbling sound or i1nper-
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 inhamed condj-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol-
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrt

proved Freight Service.

Business men of the city are
confident that the St. Louis
Brownsville & Mexico railroad will
shortly improve the service on the
Hidalgo branch. AS stated in THE
HERALD the other afternoon, a
committee met President Miller
and asked him to use his efforts on
their behalf.
1t is not unlikely that in the near
future daily passenger train will
be run as formerly between
Brownsville and Sanfordyce. This
train, it is said by persons in a
position to know, will leave
Brownsville about ESQ every
morning and return to this city
about $50 p. m. 1t is expected
that the new service will begin on
or about March L.
As already mentioned in THE
HERALD, a change in the freight
service will likely be made about
Feb. is. by which freight will
leave here at night. instead of in
the morning. This will greatly
facilitate truck shipments from this
valley. Under present conditions,
truck is loaded during the day and
has to stand in the yards all the
following night, starting north the
next morning.

CROPS ARE
SUFFERING

Considerable trouble is being ex-
perienced by farmers of the Uncom-
pahgre valley in getting enough wat
er this year for their crops.
Arrangements are being made to
take water from the Cimarron ditch
and transfer it to the other bitches
having priorities on the Uncompah-
gre river that crops may be saved.
Regarding this the Press of Mont
rose says:
1.-The shortage of water in the In
compahgre river is creating a great
demand for Cimarron water, which
is carried to the Uncompahgre
through Cedar creek and may then
be transferred to Spring creek mesa
or any place in the valley. Crops
are suffering at the present time and
few of the ranchmen there are who
are not hunting for water.
"The demand is so great that we
understand the reclamation officers
are furnishing some water to the
farmers which is coming out of the
south canal, leading from the west
portal of the Gunnison tunnel"

BIG DAMAGE
FROM HAIL

Many points in the northern part
of the state have been visited recent
ly by heavy hail storms. 1t is
claimed that Johnstown was visited
Saturday by the first hail storm in
25 years, which did a great deal of
damage to a stnip of growing crops
90 miles wide. Houses were shat
tered in several instances and win
dows broken from places of business.
At Fort Collins fruit was cut from
the trees and the hail covered the
ground inches in thickness, while,
after the storm turned to rain, the
high line ditch burst from the rush
ing waters. Practically the same
conditions Prevailed lin Ault, Love
land, Kersey, Windsor and other
points in that section.
