Issue to claim the attention of the
new trustees.
Henry G. Schmidt, Of the Tonopah
Hardware Company, has been trus-
tee for two years and is responsible
for the correctness of every detail
entering into the specifications of the
new building AS clerk of the board
he received the princely salary of
$500 a year, and II is safe to say
that no person could have been hired
to do this work for ten times that
sum. Mr. Schmidt entered into the
responsibilities of his office with an
earnestness and enthusiasm that car
ried him through most trying expe-
riences and the community is in

Announcement of the intention OF
the trustees to resign was delayed
awaiting a settlement of claims
against the schoolhouse contractors
but these having been disposed of the
board of trustees is willing to lay
down the cares OF office but may con
tinue in office until their successors
qualify.
7 The new order of things at the
high school, which has become q
sort of community center. has no
met with the unqualified approval o.
taxpayers and the conduct of the
trustees has been criticized by some
who inclined to the belief that the
school building should not be useC
for anything but actual school pur
poses and that class meetings, stud!

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube destroyed to its normal condition
hearing will be restored forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
