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 condition OF the
mucous lining OF the EuStachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect 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
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

In the memorable fight against Speaker
Cannon in the House OF Representatives,
when the insurgents were periodically
trying to curb his il-used power, every
Congressman from West Virginia voted
soIidly for Cannon. Mr. SturgisS was
always ready to support him, right or
wrong. Will he not continue this sup
port to the discredited Speaker? And
haven't the people long ago shown that
they want no more CannOniSm?
The one certain way to get in a vote
against Cannon is TO elect VIM. q. Brown
to Congress in the place of SturgiSS.

A MEMBER of the grand jury OF the
Jefferson Circuit Court last week makes
the assertion that in almost every case
presented to that body for consideration,
liquor was at the bottom of the trouble.
Particular inquiry was made by one OF
the grand iurymen on this point as wit
nesses in each case were examined, and
the fact was developed that practically
every presentment had whiskey as its
foundation.
In other words no licensed sale OF
whiskey, no criminal business no sa-
looms, no expense of trying prisoners and
cost OF keeping them in prison.
In view of facts like the above, it is no
wonder that good men are rebellIng
against voting for the reelection OF State
Senator Silver, who by his one vote pre-
vented the people from having chance
10 express themselves upon this great
moral and economical question. Indeed,
the wonder is that anyone who has a
proper conception OF public duty can sup
port a man who has shown SO unmiStaka-
bly, his SubServience to the WhlSkeY in
terests and who is so inevitably certain
TO do their bidding again.

THE voters ought to send VIM. q.
Brown to Congress from this district, il
they have any regard for their own well
fare. Mr.. SturgiSS has been an unwaver-
ing supporter OF Cannonism, and Can
noniSm is inimcal to the welfare of the
people. MIR. SturgiSS has shown no po-
litcal independence, nor has he evinced
any spirit of progreSsiveneSS such as
great State like West Virginia demands.
There ought to be change in the second
diStrict-as in the other districts of the
State.

crooks and quite few who are iackaSSeS.
Indeed, the former President may be
right-there are probably some who are
both.

Now that winter is coming on, lit may
be of interest to note that under this ben
eficent Republican tariff law blankets
are taxed l59 per cent, dress goods 100
per cent, flannelS for underwear l3l per
cent, "other manufactures OF wool'sl44
per cent, and so on.
In other words, when you buy dol
lars worth of blanket, you are required
to add 81 SO for the benefit of the manu-
facturer, or if you buy dress goods in
reality worth $1,000, you must pay an ad-
ditonal $3.50 because of the tariff.
Aren't we paying pretty dearly to pro-
tect those overfed infant industries
THERE is strong sentiment on the part
of the better element of Republicans in
West Virginia to sidetrack Senator Scott,
even if he has boughr and paid for his
seat in the Senate for another term. They
realize that he is a fossil without par
ticle of progressiveness, and that his chief
interest in the Senate is in maintaining a
tariff on his own products, thus filling his
pockets at the expense of the public. 1t
is conceded that Scott will have major
ity OF the Republican members OF the next
Legislature, but it is pretty certain that
there will be enough Republicans oppcS-
ing him to insure his defeat if the Demo-
Gratis shall unite with them. II would be
good politics for the Democrats to throw
their strength to Hubbard, but there is
more than partisan politics involved in
the question. Hubbard in the Senate
would be equally as acceptable to the
rank and file of Republicans, while at the
same time he would be an honor to the
State OF West Virginia.

ceived of very simple aud practical
scheme whereby the chairs may be
firmly held in place at any desired
distance from the tables or may be

Effects of Temperature on Railways
and Bridges.
An ordinary poker such as is used
in our homes for stirring up the fire
on a winters night. if allowed to come
to the temperature of boiling water is
only about one northumberland fifth
eth of an inch longer than when at the
freezing point. This does not mean
much to the everyday man. but the
very important subject for the bridge
engineer or the maintenance of way
superintendent.
An accident occurred not long ago in
England due to the expansion of rails.
The variation of temperature between
winter and summer in many parts of
the world is not more than so degrees
F. Yet this range of temperature is
competent TO produce a variation in
the length of the rails of about two
feet in the mile. The effect of this ex
pansion if it is not allowed for in the
track is usually to cause the outer rail
on curve to bulge out more than the
inner one and thus throw the track out
of gauge. The force eXerted by an ex
panding rail is estimated ut about 1000
pounds for each degree Of temperature.

New Company Will Operate i'm Okla


Oroville, Wash, Jan. S.-A COM
pany has been organized in Oroville,
known as the East Oroville Orchard
company. for the purpose of watering
a very large tract of land on the east
side of the Okanogan river, and i'm
mediately adjoining the town of Oro-
vile. There are several hundred
acres in one body, and there is not
a more favorably located piece of
land of equal acreage in the entire
valley that could be devoted to fruit
growing
1t slopes very slightly and gradu-
ally from the foothills to the Okano-
gan river and Osoyoos lake. and is
ideal, for irrigation purposes. The
land will be irrigated by means of
pumps operated by electricity The
pumps have been ordered, the sur
vey is under way and water will be
en- the lana in the spring. 1t is the
aim of the company to cut the land
up into small tracts.
This enterprise is especially bene-
fetal to Oroville, not only because
the land is Immediately tributary to
the town, but the reclamation of a
large tract will encourage other pro-
motors to enter the field and supply
water to the many acres of at pres
ent unproductive land both up and
down the valley.
