Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, asthey cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have

Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can he taken out and

Passed Bogus Check

John G. Talbot, the young man who
spent some time in El1o posing as the
editor of the Telegram, passed bogus
checks in Reno and skipped out to new
pastures.
Talbot accompanied the Elko track
team to Reno as their coach and while
there with the team drew checks on the
Henderson Bank when he had no funds
there to meet them. The checks were
cashed by the proprietor of the Reno
Hotel, where the team stopped. His
connection with the Elko boys doubtless
assisted him in cashing the checks.
Before the checks were returned to
Reno, marked mo funds" Talbot had
left. He has been tracked to San Fran
cisco and is supposed to be on his way
to Fairbanks, Alaska. Steps have been
taken in Reno to bring him back.
In addition to the fifty or sixty dollars,
he obtained on bogus checks in Reno,
Talbot is said to have borrowed con-
siderable money from new made friends
in Elko. How much this amounts to,
we do not know.
The high school boys very much re-
greet that Talbott's connection with them
assisted him in passing the checks.
While they were not responsible for
him in any way, the hotel keeper doubt
less considered his connection with
them guarantee that the checks were
all right. ..
Talbott's father is said to be an Of
ficer in the U. S. army.

satin ribbon as there are children

HIGH CLASS CAUCASIAN THIEVES

"At last the sugar trust has been
caught at it's tricks. A federal court
has found it guilty of cheating the
government out Of customs duties by
the use of false weights. That great
business association could stoop to
such petty thieving is astonishing. 1t
is a sad commentary on the business
ethics practiced by few of the great
corporations in this country-for the
sugar trust is not alone in it's iniqui-
ty."
In other words some hundreds of
the best Caucasian citizens of the
United States are thieves who live by
stealing so contemplate as to make
the invasion of a hen roost by hun

paratively commendable performance.
Now THE APPEAL may venture to
suggest to the Washington Post from
which the above is taken that if the
members of the sugar trust were dealt
with exactly as Afro-Americans are
when CHARGED with crime that jour
nal would have much less occasion for
establishment.
Try grandfather clauses, disfran-
chisement and lynching upon them a
time or two and perhaps these nabobs
will stop their petty thieTing."

AN EASTER GRAB PARTY

One of the forms of Easter enter
tainment for the little folks this year
should be an, Easter grab party. 1t
is played in this way: First of all, it
is necessary that the giver of the
party shall either make or buy what
is known at the toy stores as the
Easter grab shoe. This is a shoe Of
mammoth proportions, made Of papier-
mache, and bronzed and gilded over
to look bright and pretty. On the
toe of the shoe, to suggest Easter,
should perch several small chickens,
Around the top of the shoe a bag or
umbrella-shaped covering is made of
bright-colored crinkly crepon paper
finished with full ruff of the paper
for ornamentation, and tied with wide
satin ribbon. In the middle Of this
ruff there is an opening.

THE WRESTLING, WHITING
WHITE.

Uncle Remus' Magazine says:
while the Negro is fitting himself
for suffrage, there, safely sheltered by
the Grandaddy Clause, is sitting the
illiterate white voter whistling and
whiting, and forgetting that even
grandfathers, though dead, soon be-
come great grandfathers, while the
grandson becomes impossible as an
ancestor.
This indicates the exact fact that
the real problem for the South to re-
solve is to get rid of the illiterate
white voter, and furnish him with
some more dignified employment than
whistling and whiting.
Helpers Impending Crisis" a max
nificent effort to contribute to the up
lift of that class, was as unintelligible
to nearly all its members as would
have been a work On the Calculus of
Variations and accomplished nothing
except to excite the wrath of the slave
holding oligarchy.

An Easter of We O,den Times.

The observance of Easter is con-
nected with the history of Christian
ity itself, writes Rev. Thomas Hughes
in Home and Country. And while
there has never been any difference
OF opinion among Christians as to the
general observance of the festival, in
the early church the Asiatics kept the
feast of the day of the Jewish Pass
over, while the Western Christians OBJ
served it on the first Sunday after the
Passover.
Hence arose a great dispute in the
second century, and Victor, the bishop
of Rome, communicated those
churches which did not keep it on the
Sunday. The controversy was brought
before the council Of Nice, in the year
A. D. 325, and it was decreed that
Easter day should be kept on the Sun
day following the Jewish feast of the
Passover, which Passover is kept on
the fourteeneth day OF the Jewish
month Nissan. At the same time. to
prevent all uncertainty, it was made a
rule of the church that the full moon
next to the vernal or spring equinox,
should be taken for the full moon in
the month Nissan, and the 21st of
March be accounted the vernal eoui-
nox. Consequently, Easter day is al
ways the Sunday following the full
moon which falls on, or is next after.
the 21st of March. ~s-,.
The day is still known as Pascha
in the eastern church, as we'll as in
the various churches in Europe, the
English title of Easter being probably
derived from the old Saxon word "Os.
ter" spring. Some scholars have sug.
gested that it had it's origin in the
word Eastre the name given to the
Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn. For
the church took the pagan philosophy
and made it the buckler of faith
against the heather. She took the
pagan Sunday and made it the Chris.
tian Sunday. And she took the paean
Eastre and made it the Christian Eas-
ter.
