IS only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness il

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 It's
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed

THE PERILS OF OUR PUBLIC
MEN.

After all right minded citizens have
expressed their adherence OF the at
tempted shooting of Mr.. Roosevelt,
the question arises as to what prac-
UcaI steps can be taken to remove
some OF the perils surrounding public
men.
Of course it is remarked pertinent
Iy that public discussion should be
temperate, and expressions should be
avoided that tend to excite weak mind
ed men to acts of violence.
But the American people are emo
tional. Hot, hard things will always
be said. Dangerous fools will always
be lurking in the paths Of candidates
and presidents and other high Off
Gals
A president who surrounded him
self with secret service men a few
years ago was ridiouled as a physical
coward. To-day the president who
fails to do so, as the old fashioned
people used to say, is recognized as
needing a guardeen over him"
Apparently not merely presidents
but candidates for the presidency,
governors and other high officials,
need to surround themselves by alert
fighters every minute, giving up spo
taneity of movement Yoked with
their guards, they would travel with
the hampering Formally of an Orient
potentate And if they discard such
precautions as too clumsy and awE-
ward for daily life, they do it at the
hazard of their families and Of public
interest.
It all goes to emphasize what this
newspaper has previously remark
ed, the peril of the free gun play
that is spreading all over the country
until many neighbors in conservative
Eastern cities have acquired the nab
its of a Nevada mining town. The
sale Of poisons is carefully regulat-
ed but the equally deadly revolver
is as free as a safety match.
Mr.. Merchant, Christmas is coming
and more than ever the people viii

are making preparations for the hoIi-
day gift buying. People are looking

VICTORIA, March 2o-Aithough it mad been suggested and was general Iy believed to be the fact, that the British Columbia and Alaska Railway company. failing to secure the time extension and approval of route changes, asked of the legislature thls session. would abandon their charter of 1910, such is very far from the in tention, is the statement made with emphasis by the new officers of the corporation in question.
 The original promoter of this com Lany at the time the charter was se- cured and it's president, up to few months ago, was Jean Wo.kenstein, a Wall street stock broker. who had vis+ tied victoria in connection with the project on several occasions. He re- gently disposed of his interests and also of the interests of the Wall street -rOup associated with him, to Messrs. E. C. Harris, Of New York; George A. Kyle, of Portland, and former Ma yor Ralph Smailes of Greenwood, now a member of the railway contracting nrm of Messrs. L. NJ. Rice & Con- pany, of Seattle, which firm is at present engaged in the building Of the Kettle River Valley line. By the terms of the charter the company has until autumn of the present year in which to expend 10 per cent of it's capitalization, and instead of aban- doning the special charter under which it is now authorized to Oper- ate. MeSSrS. Harris & Smailes an nounce that they will begin work in he spring and qualify for the reten- tion of the charter by the construct ion expenditure demanded. Opera tions will probably be inaugurated be fore the close of March, forces be- ing put on both at Vancouver and at Fort George. the Terminal City or Lytton being alternative western ter minals according to the terms of the charter at Fort George the northern and eastern terminal.
 By a revision of the company's plans, the projected line beyond Fort George has been swung to the right about to seek a connection at the Albertan boundary and to develop coal. mineral and timber territory in Northern Cariboo. With the Ameri- can promoters of the new line it is understood that well known British Columbia capitalists of this city and Vancouver have recently identified themselves, announcing a fixed in teRtion to carry to completion the ambitious undertaking.

Ben Atwater, who came over the Chlcoot August 29, 1886, bound for the Fortymile, has met with a serious accident, and is now at the Takotna post, in helpless condition.
 On September r last uncle Ben" as he is familiarly called, accident ally shot himself with a double-barrel ed shotgun. The charge passed thru the palm of his right hand, shatter- ing the fingers, and lodged in the left forearm The wounds were dressed by Dr. Green, commissioner at Takotna, who has done all that medical skill could do for the un- fortunate man, but the injuriss re- ceived were so severe that Atwater is absolutely dependent upon others for every service.
 Unfortunately Atwater has no re- sources, and he has been compelled to depend upon the Kindness of friends until arrangements can be made to send him outside by the first boat.
 MT Atwater bears an excellent rep. utation among those that know him. He was one of the founders of the Order of Pioneers, and is a Free Mason and Odd Fellow. These organ izations have been communicated with and it is hoped that it will be possible to send him out to Boise, Idaho. where he has sons and a daughter who could look after him.
