services as legal adviser and as an

and are highly valued by the people

Although not large man, phys

judgment is sound, and he is not

of him that few young men have

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 consti.
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamcd condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed,
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

HIRSiiG|iHFI HARRIS s.. FUNERAL Uni

Hirsch Harris, one of the
pioneers of Nevada and one of its
most prominent. and best citizens.
for over forty years, died in Cali
fornia last week. His remains
were taken to Carson City for
burial and on Tuesday afternoon
they were tenderly laid away.
The Carson News of Wednesday
has the following account of the
funeral:
The body of the late Hirsch
Harris arrived in this city yester-
day morning on the express and
was taken to the Kitzmeyer Under
taking Parlors from which place
the funeral took place in the after
noon. "A barge number of the old
friends of the deceased were present
to pay their last sad respect to
their old friend. :. =
General Woolburn, who had been
a close personal friend for nearly
half a century spoke a few fitting
words of farewell, the pail bearers
lifted the black casket tho the
hearse and the last march was
taken.
In his address General Woodburn
told of the friendship that had
existed between the deceased and
himself and of the true manhood
that he had always found in the
man who was sleeping before him.
Every word was one tinged with
feeling and more than once the
voice of the speaker broke as he
spoke of the one gone forever.
They travelled together through the
days when Harris was state
senat or; when he was meter and
refiner of the Mint and through the
years since when he filled many
important Offices in the capitol
building. Harris was a Jew, one
who lived up to the tenants of his
creed and proud to be of the perse-
cuted race. He went his way in
his belief, living as he saw fit, firm
in the principles that he had
espoused, strong in his friendships
and just in his enmities, honorable
and respected by all.
Following are the mans of those
who acted as pail bearers: VIM.

HOW THE POLE "woBBLEs."

Just to perplex Cook and Peary in
their efforts to prove they reached the
north pole, the scientists now soberly
declare that the pole does not stand
still. Instead, It moves frequently,
swaying back and forth enough to per-
plex astronomers for more than CEN
tury.
The movement is very slight-never
more than sixty feet-but even that
little bit throws the exact mathemat-
les Of the heavens into error, and. of
course, north pole discoverer cannot
attempt to say that he planted the
flag exactly at the pole, when he can
not for the life of him tell whether the
pole Is where he stood or sixty feet
away.
After years of observation of the
mysterious movements from astronom-
ical stations in all parts of the earth,

In suits for divorce, as In other un.
pleasant cases, judges have the right
by law to hear testimony in private in
the interest of public morality. We
do not know how far this wholesome
law differs In different states. 1t must
the judge and this may include power
everywhere to suppress the decree as
we'll as the evidence and to seal the
whole record file so that 1t never can
be examined by the public. That
practice has prevailed in New York
City for long time, though 1t was
not brought to general public notice
until census officials sent by President
Roosevelt to obtain statistics OF d.
vorce found themselves confronted in
New York with scaled records in
locked safes. These cases are invaI-
ably those Of rich and prominent fam
lilies, or persons possessing an equal
influence with the courts. This Is
shameful abuse for protection Of pr1vi-
legged classes Of a law strained from
the original purpose of protecting pub
lie morals. 1t is one thing to prevent
demoralizing recital in open court and
another to cover up evil whose exam
Pile would be wholesome to society.
The cause OF public morals Is not
aided but injured by allowing persons
of wealth and station concealment OF
vices which are rwthlessly exposed
when practiced by humber persons
There can be no reason for this dis
elimination but some form Of bribe,
whether paid in larger fees for secret
hearings, as direct honorarum to
court officers or a tribute to the polit-
ical organization by which they are
controlled. Why should the Astor fam
lily be broken up in secret while the
frailties of John Smith and his wife
are exposed to the public and spread
upon the record unless 1t is because
they pay for the privilege? These Sc
cret records are kept with peculiar
care and, like the secret archives of
