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.
De ealness is caused b. an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
tiamed you have rum bling sound or inn
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed. deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its norma al condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an iuflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused 10y catarrh)

TESTING MILK.
First Step in Building Up the
Dairy Herd.

Prof. G.. R. Ingalls,, of the School
of Agriculture. has been conducting a
series of profitable school house meet
ing in the interest of dairying. and
has printed for distribution at the
meetings a circular on weighing and
testing milk. Prof. Ingalls, regards
the testing of the milk from each cow
as the first step in the building up of
a dairy herd. He says in his circular:
1t is advisable to weigh the milk
from each cow each milking be-
cause (1) it enables one to know what
each cow is producing, (2) to feed in
diligently, 81 to tell at once if any
thing, as neglect, abuse or discom-
fort of any kind has caused any of
the COWS to drop off in their flow of
milk, and to remedy the trouble be-
fore the shrinkage has become serious.
By the use of a 80 pound milk scale
costing about So. so and the weekly
milk sheet which will be furnished
upon request to the School Of Agricul-
ture the weighing of a pail of milk
and the recording of the result will
take only the fraction Of minute.
But we must know also how much
butter fat there is in each cows milk.
The best way to find this out is by
using the Babcock test. which any
careful boy, twelve or more years old,
can do if he has tester and is shown
how to use it. Or, if the milk is
weighed at home and samples taken.
our creamery man Mr.. Peter Miller,
will do the testing free of charge.
1t is not necessary. however, to
test each cow every day, since very
accurate results can be had by testing
once month, the sample being taken
one evening and the following morn
ing. This test should be made at
about the same time each month and
the middle is suggested as being the
best time. Prof. Hacker of the
Minnesota Experimental Station states
that such test is as correct for prac-
tical purposes as an average from
tests which have been made of each
milking during the month. This plan
makes the work very little and en-
ables one to know accurately what
each cow is doing, providing a correct
record of the amount of milk she
gives is kept. The use of the scales
and the Babcock test means the i'm
provement Of our dairy herds.

OUT OF DATE.
Judge Holds That Indian Liquor
Lid Has No Force.

The Sioux treaty of 1851 by which
intoxicating liquors were forbidden to
be introduced into this section of the
state was last Thursday declared to be
void by Judge A. F. Amidon in the
United States district court at Fergus
Falls in the case of Patrick J. Sulli-
van, of Browns Valley, charged with
introducing 900 pints of whiskey into
Browns Valley contrary to the provi
sions of this treaty. Mr.. Sullivan at
first pleaded guilty and the minimum
sentence was imposed. While attempt
ing to secure his release, J. B. Or
mond. his attorney, was advised by
the United States district attorney to
make motion to vacate the judg
ment in order that ruling on this
treaty might be obtained. The treaty
was abrogated by the United States
in 1868, following the outbreak of
the Sioux in 1862. but there was some
question as to whether the liquor pro-
visions were also abrogated.
The arguments in the case took
more of a historical than legal turn
and the opinion of the judge recites
lot of interesting Minnesota history.
He sums as follows:
''In the present case it is conceded
that the Indian reservation, which was
intended to be protected by article 5
of the treaty, ceased to be an Indian
reservation by the act Of February 16,
1868. and since that time none of the
Indians has dwelt upon that reserva-
tion or claimed title thereto. The
whole basis, therefore, of federal
authority over commerce in intoxIcat-
ing liquors in this territory is want
ing. There are no Indians there with
whom commerce can be carried on Il
therefore the national government has
no power to regulate commerce in the
territory covered by the treaty when
congress annuIled all rights of the In
dians in these lands. 1t, by necessary
implication, abrogated section 5 of the
treaty, whose only object was the
protection of the Indians. Under this
decision the federal officers have no
further power to interfere. with-the Ill
quor traffic in the wide extent of ter
ritory covered by the Sioux treaties. "
The territory affected by the deci-
sion extends as far north as Moorhead
and includes almost the entire south
ern part of the state lying south of
the Mississippi, including part of
Minneapolis. Other treaties covering
the northern part of the state still re-
main in force.
The decision does not, of course,
make it legal to furnish Intoxicating
liquors to an Indian, as this is prohib- |
tied by both state and federal laws.

Representative Dunn, not "Bob,'' but
the candidate for speaker, who has
every reason to believe that his cleo
tiOn is assured, has opened headQuar-
ters at the Merchants hotel and is in
daily consultation with such mem bers
of the house as can find it conveu euient
to come to the city with regard to it's
organization. Nothing definite has
transpired with regard to his inten-
tiOns. The contest for the minor of
fees is in a fair way OF settlement.
It is regarded as certain that Archie
Vernon of Little Falls and Oscar Arne-
son of Herman will be the clerks Of
the house, though which one of them
will be the chief clerk is not definitely
known. 1t seems probable that SINH
lar situation exists with regard to the
position OF eTgeant-at-arms. B. F.
Seiz Of Red Wing and George H. Deans
of Foreston are the candidates.. It is
pretty certain that one of them will
be the sergeant and the other his as
sistant. Ex-Sheriff Eye of Minneapo-
lis will be sergeant-at-arms Of the
senate.
!. !. +
Lieutenant Governor Gordon will
not have altogether happy family to
preside over until things get settled
down and the conflicting claims of
those over whom he will preside are
giving him a good deal of trouble.
Senator Putnam of Blue Earth wants
to be the chairman of the judiciary
committee this year, but Judge Wilson
of Minneapolis, who occurred this Of
flee two years ago, would like to have
it again. There are several aspirants
to the Craftsmanship of the finance
committee, but indications seem to fa-
vor the appointment of Senator Elwell
Of Minneapolis. Senator CIague is
booked for something good and will
probably come into prominence as the
floor leader and the lieutenant govern
Or's confidential adviser.
Among those associated with the or
ganization of the last senate who are
not entirely satisfied that Mr.. Gordon
should have everything to say about
the senate organization are Senator
Sullivan Of Washington and Senator
Dunn of Ramsey. The first sign of
was their protest against
the recognition of John Saugstad of
Clay county as a Republican, because
he had defeated Senator Stephens, the
regular Republican nominee, by the
use of stickers. This was taken to i'm
dicate an inclination on their part to
favor the seating of Senator Stephens,
who has contested Senator Saugstad's
election. In these contests, however,
the senators are inclined to be fair
and there is little doubt that if Sena-
tor Saugstad proves to have been
fairly elected he will be confirmed in
MS seat.
Another contest that will come be-
'ore the senate is that of Senator Far
'ington against Senator Froshaug OF
Big Stone county. Froshaug, who is

Cold storage Chances.

The Clifton meat and cold storage,
which company has been engaged in
the meat business in Clifton for a
number of years, passed into the
hands of the Arizona Copper company
store department yesterday and in
the future the meat suppliedby the
company. Messrs. Cromb, Webster and
Shannon, the principal members of
the old firm, are now out of the meat
business and will devote their time to
other affairs. In assuming charge OF
the meat market the new ownes have
made several changes in the force.
Charley Kreuder, formerly of the
Clifton Hotel restaurant, succeeds
Chas. Davidson as foreman of the
shop. AL. Hachtel, formerly as
ISOLATED with the Palace market, has
accepted position in the market,
while Geo. Gaines is being retained
to look after the clerical work until
further arrangements are made. The
company has not made any announce
ment as to its intention, but it Is
thought that the old force will be
retained as near as possible, and that
the business will be conducted the
same in the future as in the past.

.OthelIa a Difficult Part to Play.

Upon being questioned as to the
most difficult part he eyer played,
Mr.. Sanford Dodge unhesitatingly re-
piled, "O;hello." Continuing further,
be says that he never attempts that
part without dread, nor never finishes
it without a severe physical collapse.
For hours after performance of the
play he does not wish to see anyone
or talk to anyone. The strain of the
different emotions, the great rending
of the lives, the terrible physical
sufferiugs of this Moorish giant aud
powerful acting necessary to portray
his character all combine to make
"Othello" the most difficult part ever
written for an actor to play. Mr..
Sanford Dodge will be seen IN this

The new arc lights are doing fine

does not amount to great deal, re-
lating to the town assuming the re-

terial and expense of installation
should the contract be made null and

town has suggested that this portion
of the contract be changed to read
fifty per cent. of the cost if discon-
tinued at the end of one year, TWEEN
ty-fve per cent. at the end of two
years and nothing at the end of the
