Mr. Lolcama was renting the farm OF

stantly and setting fire to the bodies

hay in the barn was Immediately mass
of flam, s. Mrs Lolcama was at the
house short distance away and rushed
to the barn knowing that something awe
ful had happened. She was very badly
burnt herself in helping drag the bodies
from the flames, only her presence of
mind in the trying ordeal saved any
of the ranch property. Her phone calls
for help were promptly answered by the
people of the neIghborhood and the out
buildings and house were saved
Mr.. Lolcama was a native Of Hol-
land, born in 1870. Coming to this

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 remedy. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition Of
the mucus lining of the Eustanchian
tube. When this tube if 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 forever destroyed; nine
Gases out of ten are caused by cattarah
which is nothing but the inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

Keep old Friends and

"No sir, we will not raise our rates"
s F Dntton, Proprietor of the Albany
Hotel, spoke with dicision when asked
if Denver's best hotel was not going to
make a correspondingly best rate.
"The Albany will keep it's popular 81
day rate fthe man who pays 81
day is getting too much for his money
that's our lookout. We intend providing
him with the best in the city for that
price,
sour reason for main tanning this rate
is that we want to keep our old friends
ness men to know it. We believe that
the best way of demonstrating this, Is to
keep our popular rate"
