Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
u rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can he taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dillon, hearing will lie destroyed for
ever: nine cases out OF ten are caused

A very quiet but pretty wedding
ceremony was solennized this morning
at 1880 at the residence of Mrs. Nulty

became the bride of Mr.. Charles Henry
Bonney. The bride wore a very be-
coming gown of white silk. Those
present were the brides mother, Mrs.
Nulty, Mr.. and Mrs. John Garrecht
and Mr.. Herbert Brown. The GER
emony was performed by Rev. Geo. H.
Greenfield who used the ring ceremony
of the Roman Catholic Church. The
bride was born in Eureka but has lived
most of her life in Elko where she is
well known. The groom is an ex-
perienced restaurant man and has been
for several months in charge of the Elk
Cafe. Mr.. and Mrs. Bonney left on
No this afternoon for Sacramento
where they will make their future
home. The INDEPENDENT wishes them
much joy and happiness in their
welded life. :

Hebbled Horse Falls on Roof .

Last Monday forenoon a large bay
horse that was grazing on the hillside
back of the residence of w. H. Russell
on Paul street tumbled down the 12-
foot bank on to the back of Mr.. Rus
sells house. The animal being hobbled
was unable to regain its foothold, but
began kicking at furious rate. The
Russell residence is at present unoccu-
pied, and Mrs. Charles Hjul, who lives
close by, hearing the noise, thought
some one was breaking into the house.
She Immediately summoned her hus
band from town who discovered the
cause of the disturbance. He secured
the services of several men and they
hauled the horse from the roof. The
animal escaped uninjured. but the roof
