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 infiamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian 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 in
fiammation 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 infiamed condi-
tiOn of the mucous surfaces.

SELECTING EXPLOSIVES.

GAS a result" says a Los Angeles
dispatch. "of its investigation into the
causes of mine disasters with the
hope of reducing the number Of IA
talities in the coal mines of the United
States, the geological survey has just
issued list of permissible explosives
for the use OF miners and operators.
Twelve manufacturers of explosives
sent 20 different explosives to the sta
ton to be tested. Six manufacturers
were successful and six explosives
PASSED the requirements The tests
are under the general direction OF
DR. Joseph A. Holmes, expert in charge
of the technologic branch of the geo
logical survey. The explosives were
given four tests under different con-
ditions under the large steel gallery
According to DR.. Holmes, this gallery
Is 100 feet long and six feet in diam
eter and Is filled with firedamp air
and coal dust or coal dust and air, OF
various mixtures, and the explosive is
discharged into each mixture 10 times.
II it falls TO ignite the fiTedamp or
coal dust in any instance, it is con-
sidered satisfactory and is termed
permissible explosive

HARE FOR ENGLISH JURYMEN.
Hunted in Morning, Served at Evening,
According to Old Custom.

The quaint custom of hunting the
hare in the morning. to be served up
for the jury's dinner at the annual
court baron, has just been revived at
Chard, says the London Standard.
The custom has been discarded for
excited a great deal Of interest. A To-
cal pack of hounds used to hunt the
manor lands In the morning. and the
first hare killed was sent back to the
chief hotel for the dinner of the jury
at the court baron
1t Is said that another feature of
the dinner was an enormous bowl of
punch, the contents of which would
cost as much as eight pounds sterling.
The young Earl Poulett, who Is the
lord of the manor of Chard, brought
over the Seayi gton pack of hounds
this week and the mayor presented his
lordShip with a gold-mounted hunting
crop as souvenir { the occasion.
Later In the day the court baron din
ner was held and the hunted hare was
served up with all the honors.
Judge Beresford held the monthly
sitting Of the county court in the
morning and in honor of the old Gus
tom decided to postpone Judgment
summonses till the next court In order
that there might be no commitment OF
debtors to prison on that auspicous oc-
caSion.

INLAND EMPIRE FREIGHT RATES
CONVENTION.

For years coast cities, under the
water competition" fiction, have held
an unfair, advantage in freight rates,
to the injury and retardation OF in
land cities in their commercial de-
yelopment The Spokane rate case de-
cision, whereby the railroads are in
structed To reduce rates which are
deemed excessive. is the first victory
won by inland cities in this discrim-
nation, but the fruits of that decis-
ion are TO be kept from the cities OF
the Inland empire, If railroad schem~
ing and the concerted action of coast
trade centers can prevent the carry
ing out of the order Of the interstate
commerce commission.
The Standard, realizing how import
ant it is that there shall be organ
lied effort TO resist the Vaccinations
OF the interests favoTing the forcing
of excessive freight rates on the In
terror cities, will commence a cam
palgn in favor of holding confer
nece in Ogden of all those whose in
terests are Identical with the merch-
ants of this city. and we hereby in
vite the wholesalers and jobbers, the
smaller merchants, the city officials
and all public spirited citizens of the
Inland Empire" to meet in ogden the
week beginning Monday, Sept. G, for
the purpose of organizing an associa.
ton. or congress, which shall form
ulate plans for the better advance
ment of the business interests OF all
concerned.
The call should be for the Inland
Empire Freight Rates Convention"
Within the next few days this paper
will call upon the Weber club and
other commercial and social organiza-
tions to aid in giving publicity to this
movement and in making arrange
ments for the reception of the dele
gates.

, tice of ordering criminals to move
on" and Honolulu no doubt had never
thought of scheme so original and
evasive of exact duty until some one
from the mainland" pointed out the
manner of handling the undesirable
element as pracdced by our cities.
THIS ordering of criminal suspects
out OF town, which simply means the
inflictlng OF their presence on some
other town, is wrong and should be
abolished by common consent. III
necessary to do this, there should be
a convention OF city officials from all
over this western country TO consider
some better plan of jisposing OF dan
gerous vagabonds and other timer
ants OF criminal instinct who are
driven from place to place and made
confirmed criminals.
We suggest that convention with
this object in view be called 10 meet
In Ogden and that the call include
the chiefs OF police of all cities and
the law officers of towns and vii
lagos.
Ogden unloajs its criminals on Salt
Lake and Salt Lake sends back a
greater number, and the result Is these
drifting undesirables remain at large
until they commit some atrociouS
crime

railway will cross the White Nile
near the village of Coz Albu Guma.

and the contract for the construction
of the road and rail bridge at this
point has been awarded to the same
firm which built the viaduct over the
Zambesi at Victoria Falls. the Cleve'

1t is a curious coincidence that these
distant but connecting links are being
built by the same firm OF British
contractors and the erection super
vised and carried out by the same
resident engineer"
This road will skirt the great lakes
OF Central Africa, the most scenic
part of the world. and further south

Uganda where Roosevelt is now hunt

calls how not many years ago Living
stone and Stanley gained great fame
by their travels in Africa and that not
until Stanley entered the lake reg

the great lakes with the source OF the
Nile.
