FOR A TERRITORIAL
 BRIDGE AT TEMPE SITE
Mesa Heartily in Favor of Proposition as Shown by Petition Signers.

With hardly a dissenting opinion a petition has been ost successfully cir culated by J. l.. Waring, asking that a territorial bridge be erected at Tempe Mesa is heartily in favor of the proposition and in fact was pretty strongly in favor of county bridge at Tempe as was evidenced by the last election.
 While there might be a grain of selfish motive in favoring the Tempe site for territorial bridge on account of it meaning a territorial highway through Mesa yet regardless of the highway running through Mesa there are a good many Mesa taxpayers who are firm in their belief that Tempe by rights should have a bridge.

Deafness CdnnO: 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- Clition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by ca- tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circulars free.

MANY PIPES ARE BURSTED.

Few if any of the plumbers of the
city enjoyed any holidays, either Sat
urday or Sunday, owing TO the many
accidents to water pipes, etc, in var
ious parts of the city. There We're
numerous flooded cellars in the city
yesterday and today and the demand
for plumbers has been much greater
than the supply. Owing to the ex-
tremely cold weather and the break
ing OF many water pipes the plumb
ers were kept busy and many a house
holder and business man had his or
her Christmas badly intcrfered with
by flooded basement or first story
room. A great many accidents of this
nature are reported today and in
some cases quite serious losses We're
sustained.

years and the bursting of water pipes
that are not well protected, is not to

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH THE
INDIAN SCHOOL7

1t is probable that this afternoon
or tomorrow morning meeting Of
the board of directors of the Cham
ber of Commerce will be held for the
purpose of taking up the all import
ant proposition of the future of the
Indian school property In this city.
Ii is reported that the Chamber of
Commerce may request congress or
the Indian service to continue the
school until the state can arrange to
occupy 1t with an educational institu-
ton. Above all things it is desired
not to permit the fine buildings to
become vacant for an extended
period.
The Indian school proposition has
been greatly and widely discussed
locally especially since The Sentinel
gave publication last week to Con-
gressman Taylor's letter to Attorney
Wheeler concerning the property
which is to be abandoned next sum-
mer by the government as an Indian
school.
