DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by loral applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by
constitutional remedies. Deafnes
is caused by an inflamed condition
OF the mucou lining of the
E%ustachiian Tubes. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbl.
ing sound or imperfect hearing and
when 1t is entirely closed. Deaf
ness 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 cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrn, which is
nothing but an innamed condition
Of the m icous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused
by Catrrah) that cannot be cured

In the senate a few days ago
Senator Sweeney introduced q bill
which is pretty far-reaching. Ii
makes it a criminal offense to in.
veigle. coax Or assist in the causing
of any woman to enter a life OF
shame. The offender is punished
with a sentence of from two t.
twent, years in the penitentiary.
The same punishment is meted out
to any person who forces a woman.
to enter a life of shame for debt or
a husband who urges such a move
on the part of his wife. bringing
a woman from another state to

same severe penalty. The law will

We heartily agree with the
Appeals comments on Senator
Sweeney's bill and hope it will be-

TALKING ABOUT THE
GREAT STATE OF NEVADA

One Of New York's mining publi-
cations recently contained an article
on Nevada largely contributed by
a MA we'll known in Gold6eld,
especially during the early days of
the camp. The Introductory para
graphs read:
Everything about Nevada is IN
~tercsting, many things inspiring
and surely the battle-born, metal
ribbed State has never possessed a
more eloquent eulogist than the
well-knnwn mining engineer, of the
grand old camp of Phoebe, Nevada
MIR. James W. Abbot. Yes, every
thing about Nevada is of interest
or nearly everything. Back in
the old day, before the State itself
was carved, old man Horace Greeley
went out there and was one of the
first to proclaim the enormous
mine al treasure which would be
found in its borders. Mark Twain,
Judge Goodwin. Artemus Ward,
Dan De guile and other gifted men
have cast a halo with their genius
over the Sagebrush State. Verify,
their imaginations all compact have
looked frJm heaven to earth, from
earth TO heaven and given to air
~nothingness at times a local habita-
ton and a name. But no more
felicitous and fitting encomiums
have been pronounced upon Nevada
than those by James W. Abbot, who
has had so much to do with the
making of Nevada mines and mar
kets and is we'll qualified by resi-
dence and experience to pen a
tribu e to the grandeur and glory
of the Bonanza commonwealth"
In prefacing his remarks about
this Stale. Mr.. Abbot, who has been
closely identified with it for
many years has the following to say:
Nevada boasts no worlds met
ropolis like New York, contains no
central mart of a nations commerce
like Illinois. offers no twelve-months
playground for all people like Cal
ifOrnla. Except in time SO freshet
the biggest river which flows out of
the State carries less water than
the humblest brooklet in Oregon.
Its largest lakes are underground.
When called upon in the sacred
name of conversation for forest re-
serves, it responds in broad stretches
of sagebrush and pinon, without a
sawlug to the acre" But Neva-
da yields to no State in the impor-
lance of its contributions to our
country's history, in phenomenal
mineral wealth and in manifold re-
sources barely touched"

afternoon in district court to show

joined from constructing sidewalk
on the said southerly lot line of
