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 mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con.
dtlon. hearing will be destroyed forever I;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catar
rh. which Is nothing but an inflamed con-
dltion Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

cHrNA's MAN WHO RULES.

But we live in times of wonderful
changes, and SO it is. The Son of
Heaven has ceased 10 reign, and Yuan
Shi Kai is president of the Republic
of China. Surely he has taken upon
his shoulders the heaviest burden and
is confronted by the most difficult
task of any ruler on earth. In all
the struggles, disputes, revolts and
numerous difficulties which have
arisen since the destruction of the
monarchy he has shown himself to be
. man of determined will and marked
ability, and it is greatly to his credit
for tact and firmness that in the
midst of, and spite of, all his troubles
he has succeeded in forcing the Brit
ish Indian authorities to stop pois-
oning China with opium. So far as
can be judged now, he seems to be the
man Of all others to take the helm as
China starts on an untried career

WOMEN BETTER THAN MEN.


People who are afraid to have wo-
men vote because they are "hysteri-
cal" should be referred TO the tele-
phone companies, large employers of
cashiers and other corporations who
employ women and women only, in
certain positions, because men are
habitually too impatient to discharge
the duties. Men, for instance, are
pretty nearly useless as telephone
operators because they are too i'm
patient. They fly into rage at the
slightest irritation, and become "rat-
tied" very easily. Men make poor
cashiers and often poor ticket sellers
for the same reason. Women teach
ers have steadier nerver, by actual
test. than male teachers have. Men
will not endure certain worries and ir-
ritations that women carry off quite
patiently. There are hysterical wo-
men, of course, but the hysterical wo-
man is not circumstance to the chol-
eric man.---New York Mail.

RIGHT MEANING OF
ONE INCH OF RAIN

The weekly news letter Of the de-
partment of agriculture states that
on every daily weather bulletin or
chart the amount Of rainfall at vari-
GUS places during the preceding ~
hours is printed in inches and hum
dredths Of inches. In general way
the public understands that . rainfall
of two inches in one day Is heavy, and
that one-tenth Of an inch il light, but
no attempt is made to assoeiats the
linear measurement Of the water with
its equivalent in weight or bulk. This
is necessary for proper understand
ing of the actual quantitivs valus Of
the katu. and the few figures follow
ing may prove Of assistaIses h nak-
ing calculations:
An acre Of ground contains $3.50
square fest. Consequently rainfall
Of one inch over one acre Of ground
would mean total Of 43y66Ox144, or
6,272,640 cubic inches Of water. This
is equivalent to $3.50 cubic feet. Al
a cubic foot Of pure water weighs
about 62A pounds the exact amount
varying slightly with the density, It
follows that the weight Of . uniform
coating Of one inch Of rain over ons
inch OF surface would be 3,630x62.l,
226,512 pounds, or 118A short tons.
The weight Of one United Statss
gallon Of pure water il 2.345 pounds.
Consequently rainfall Of ons inch
over one acre of ground would mean
27,143 gallons Of water on the aers-
This is equivalent TO COS barrels Of
forty-five gallons each, and would b
sufficient to fill tank or pool about
twenty feet square and nine feet In
depth. Should farmer desire to
build cistern to bs supplisd by rain-
water from roof. he can, II he known
the annual rainfall Of his locality, -
construct his cistsrn ~ to make ths
best possible use Of the rainfall.-Ex-

J. J. BIGGS,
PIONEER
IS DEAD

Death entered the Willis A. Reese
home this morning and claimed for
its victim, John J. Biggs, the aged
father Of Mrs. Reese. Less than ten
days ago Mr.. Biggs was on the street
apparently as well as usual. About
a week ago he was stricken with ILL
ness-a complication Of troubles Incl
dent to advanced age.
John ]. Biggs was born in Illinois,
March II, 1881. In the early SOS
he heard the call Of the far west and
journeyed across the plains, whore he
had substantial part in the upbuild-
ing of the country.
In 1879 he returned to the scene of
his boyhood days where he remained
until 1888, when he located in Du-
range. This city and section have
since been his home. He was well
known in the business and political
life of the town, and was especially
interested in municipal affairs. He
served in the city council as alderman
from the third ward and was ever
alert in the interests Of his constitu-
snts.
On November %, 1861 Mr.. Biggs
married Miss Angelina Cox. Four
children. Mrs. w. A. Reese, Mrs. Ad-
die Brown, Ed. Biggs and Bert Biggs
were the fruit Of the union. All were
at his bedside this morning when the
end came. In addition to his children
the deceased is survived by ono BROTH
er and one sister.
The funeral will be held from the
Presbyterian church Monday after
noon at o'clock. Rev. Mr.. DAILY
will officiate at the service.

oBsTRUcTING THE ROAD.

There is q well defined rule of the
road in France which refers parti-
cularly to the obstruction Of the pub.
lie highway by a vehicle-any vehicle
to the crown Of the road
and not allowing . free passage to
another, faster, vehicle overtaking. In
most countries if such . rule exists
it is mostly = dead letter, but in
France it is a very real offence II the
rule of "give way" is not observed.
Usually there is no time to argue and
if it is you who hold the crown Of the
road II is pretty sure to be a faster
and more powerful automobile is
overtaking you and wants to pass. In
the effort the driver may rip . mud
guard off your car. may even smash
in the whole after part and may hold
you responsible for damage to his
own automobile while he Is doing II
and you will have no redress. You
should make way for him upon re-
quest, or any proper indication, and
others, under like conditions. should
do the same for you. 1t is . misde-
meanor in France for anyone to wit
tingly block the road.

The distance that will be saved by

scarcely believable. From New York

be saved. From New York to Homo

Notwithstanding this enormous out

He alleges the kidnapping" was q

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 27.-Moyer
and Tanner arrived here at noon.
Meyer is suffering from the effects
of two bullet wounds in the fleshy
part of his back and one scalp wound.
His face and body are terribly bruis-
ed. Tanner is bruised but not wound
ed.
Meyer said: "HelPs about to pop
in the copper country. Miners thirst
for revenge but hope will be able
10 return to the district in time to
prevent them from doing anything to
injure the cause.
He asserted that he and Tanner
were in their room at the Scott hotel
last night when Sheriff Cruze called
and urged the Federation to accept
the funds the Citizens Alliance col
lected for the families of the victims
of the Christmas eve panic. Meyer
declined, saying the Federation had
plenty.
Meyer stated that five minutes
later the mine whistles blew and one
hundred and fifty Alliancers entered
the room and assaulted himself and
Tanner. They were repeatedly struck
and beaten and. finally some one from
behind shot him twice. The Allianc-
ers, he states, then passed both men
hand to hand down the hotel stairs to
the depot, each man striking them re-
peatedly.
He declares that after they reached
the depot, the fury of the assaulters
abated somewhat, he thinks through
fatigue, but the whistles continued to
shrek and the men howled and
danced.
Meyer states the Alliancers bought
two tickets and placed them on board
the train, regardless of the fact that
both he and Tanner were weak and
needed medical aid.
Mover insists the assault was made
because the operators used the panic
as a means of forcing settlement OF
the strike, hoping to gain the sympa-
thies of the strikers by aiding the
families of the victims.
This afternoon Meyer will have the
bullets removed at Chicago hospital.
