Mrs. Cook was a pleasing and pretty "Paloma," sus- taining the role gracefully and easily Her rendition of the American trans lation of the song La Paloma,' was received with every evidence of favor by the appreciative audience. Mrs Cook takes the role formerly played by Miss Marlyn with much credit. MT Vernon was highly acceptable in the part of the Ranger. which was adapted as theto his particular style. MT. Fur ner as the Outlaw was another well cast character and his rendition of If I Had a Thousand Eyes" was the feature of the act The play was well set and carefully mounted and gave much satisfaction as did the new mov- ing pictures which were well select ed

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 inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken condition. hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Hon. I. n. Bunting,
Editor The Sentinel.

Hon l. N Bunting,
| Editor The Sentinel.
| Dear Sir:-For more than a month
past The Sentinel, in nearly every is
sue, strongly opposed the proposition
of authorizing charter convention
| for the ensuing city election and has
| attacked the motives of several of
| it's advocates. more especially my
self. While in the discussion of this
question | feel that my motives like
'The flowers that bloom in the spring
Have nothing to do with the case, -
yet such charges becloud the issues.
! do not believe that the people are
interested in these personalities, but
that they are greatly interested in
the problem of adopting or rejecting
the charter
. Your paper has not given, and. in
the nature of the case, cannot give
as much space and editorial efforts to
arguments in favor of the charter as
your paper does not present the ques-
tion from an impartial standpoint
/ think you will agree with me
that this question is one of vast i'm
portance to Grand Junction, and that
it ought to be fully and fairly pre-
sented. Knowing your great ability
as an orator, and considering your
statement to me that you had thor
oughly informed yourself on the
question. also because you give me
the credit of being the father of the
charter scheme. | propose that you
and | discuss the merits of the prop
osition in joint debate at the Audi
torium, or in some other suitable
hall under mutually satisfactory ar
rangements.
l have been impelled to make this
proposition so as to relieve us both
of all charges of improper motives, or
of using false or unfair arguments,
which charges can be made unless we
are willing to engage in a fair and
open argument. BY such discus
sion also we may perhaps aid the
voters in arriving at the merits of
the proposition. Because of our OPP
posite positions on this question and
our long residence in the city. we
ought 70 be willing to render such
aid in an open and impartial forum
where the weakness of our argu-
ments, If any, may be exposed.
II you will join me in a courteous
and fair discussion. Mr.. ]. II. Rankin
will make all necessary arrangements
on my behalf for the debate,
Respectfully.

Dear Sir:--Answering your COM
munication of today, proposing a
joint debate in the Auditorium on
the merits of the charter-commission
plan of government between your
self and myself. beg leave to decline
the proposition.
You state in your communication
to me that your proposal arises,
among other things. ito relieve us
both of all charges of improper mo-
tives or of using false or improper
charges. which charges can be made
unless we are willing to engage in a
fair and open argument
| do not in the slightest degree
feel that it is necessary for me to be
relieved from any charges of i'm
proper motives" In the entire dis
cussion my motives for engaging
therein have been open and above
board, whatever yours may have
been
Nor do feel at all that an unwill-
ingness to engage in the argument
you propose will condemn me before
the public.
We will confess that the para
graph. as quoted above. has been
most deftly constructed to make it
appear that. in case | should refuse
to debate, it would he reflection up
on the strength of the position
maintain against the charter and per-
haps be construed into fear of meet
ing you in debate.
However. ! can see no force nor
any great advantage to he gained in
a public discussion of this question
by ourselves. You have had free ac-
cess to the columns of another paper
in expressing your views, and have
