ADAREDEyfEss LATEST ASCENT


G, D. Greene. who called himsel
Daredevil" without any apparen
reason, will remember Abilene
Green gathered in s125 to $40
time for three balloon ascensions
last spring, making about as punl
Exhibits as the town ever saw. Their
he and his family suddenly left and
likewise lot of rent bills, grocer
bills, meat bills and printing bills
were left also.
His first mistake was in leaving
the printers bill for a newspaper
has means of finding out things.
Green was advertised to make an
ascent at the Greeley, Colo, fair
last week and Attorney H. L. Hum
phrey was put to work on the case.
He forwarded about SIS worth Of
accounts to a Greeley lawyer with
instructions to attach Green's pay
from the fair association. In the
meanwhile Greene had moved his
family to Greeley. When the law
yer presented the bills Greene gave
one Of his strong bass shorts and
declared that 4 was all mistake.
Must be some other man. ! was
never in Abilene in my life."
The lawyer was bluffed and sent
back for instructions. Then came
Greene's second mistake, While
here he had a group photograph Of
himself and family taken. One was
found at the photographers whom
be had neglected to pay and for
warded. Armed with this the law
'er attached Greene's fee and served
he papers on him. He raved and
wore. tore UP the papers and stamp
ID on them, and declared that It
vas the wrong Greene and threat
med suit for damages.
Then the lawyer flashed his pho
ograph, the crowd gave Greene the
orselaugh and Daredevil came
cross with SIS and costs. He will
emember Abilene all right.

Deafness Cannot Ne Cured


by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constit1-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustaehian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbllng sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when II is entirely closed,
Deafness Is the result. and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will he de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condl-
ton Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed BY eatarrh) that cannot he cured
