Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications they cannot req ch the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by in famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflarned you have a runbing sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an unframed condition of the mucous sur- faces Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys- tenn.

NIMRoD URIE

In an issue of last week, the Silver
State took occasion to comment on the
fact that Nimrod Uric, a life-termer in
the penitentiary, had been "joy rid
ing" through California In an auto
putting up at frst-class hotels and with
plenty of money in his pocket fol
cigars, drinks, etc. The editorial in
question is referred to by the Carson
News, in it's issue of last Saturday
morning, in part as follows;
cit is not with the intention of
defending Uric that we wish to
correct this statement. He was
convicted of on of the most brutal
crimes ever perpetrated in Neva-
da. But he is paying the penalty
for that crime, and we can see no
reason for bounding him. We are
in a position to know that every
convict at the prison is on an equal
footing and that Uric has no spe-
cial privileges, as the statement
published would lead one to be-
lieve. There are many convicts at
the prison who, by their good de-

pertinent, have earned certain priv
ileges and Uric is one Of them. He
has never abused one single trust
that has been placed in him and
the statement that he was Joy-rld-
ing in California Is the result OF
pure imagination.
Gle was taken by Warden Dick
erson. as his chauffeur, when he
went on prison business to Califor-
mia, for the simple reason that
there is not another mar in the in
%stitution who was capable of hand
ling the machine in the mastery
fashion that Uric does.
"a trip of Us miles, made at
night and facing a blizzard, can
hardly be called a joy-ride, and
that is the trip referred to. When
the auto broke down, the warden
was compelled to continue by other
conveyance TO his destination,
leaving Uric to repair the car and
return to the prison, which he did
without loss of time, proving that
the trust the warden had placed in
him was not abused.
"The present administration Of
Denver S. Dickerson as warden of
the Nevada state prison is one of
the most commendable in the his
tory of the institution. The diseip-
line as to the guards and the pris-
oners is conceded to be good. The
prisoner who shows by his conduct
IL l. = 1a1no wv1wfAV 70 naala
good is given the customary re-
ward that has been in vogue at the
institution, regardless of the crime
for which he is convicted, and
there is absolutely no reason why
Uric should be an exception to the
rule. He is a model prisoner, and
as a result is allowed the same
privileges that others in the prison
have who obey the rules"
Simply because Uric obeys the prisoi
ules is no legitimate reason for his be
ng selected from among a large mum
,er of eonvicts and given extraordinar,
privileges. There are no doubt an,
of men in the prison who arr
long terms and who hav.
the rules that are better emit
led to this privilege that Uric has en-
Dyed for the past several years.
Nor is a convict entitled to any par
ocular rewards of merit for obeyin,
he prison rules. Should he not live "
0 them the officers of the institution
oubtlescs have an adequate remedy.
But the question at issue is no
yhether Uric has been a model prison
r or not. He was convicted of a helm
crime, and sentenced to be hanged
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1916-05-30

and was only committed to life impris-
onment at the last moment for the rea-
son that it seemed doubtful at that
time whether his partner in crime
would also be hanged. The board Of
pardons reasoned rightly that it would
be illogical to hang the younger a
and let TRAINER, old enough to be
Urie's father, escape with life impris-
onment. IL would seem that the pen
dulum has now swung to the other *
treme, as it is understood here that
TRAINER occupies a solitary cell in the
death house, while Uric is enjoying life
as he never did before.
The Silver State reiterates that the
people of Humboldt county propose that
Uric shall be punished for his double
murder, be subjected to prison discip-
line, subsist on prison fare, and be
shown no extraordinary favors. If this
is not done before the next trial jury
is drawn in this county, an effort will
be made to have him brought back here
and convicted of the murder of Mrs.
Quiliei, which will carry the death
penalty.
And in making this statement the
Silver State is not "~hounding'' Uric,
nor is it the "result Of pure magma

Washington, Dec. POSTMASTER
General Burleson's annual report, is
sued yesterday, declares there was
postoffice department surplus of $5,-
100000 during the present year and
enumerates as among the years ac-.
copplishments improvement of the
parcels post, extension of city and
rural deliveries and development of
the postal savings system.
A surplus of $12,500,000 is shown,
says the report for three years of the
four the administration has been in
office, and it calls attention to deficits
under previous administrations.
The department makes many rec
concentrations for improvement of the
servicve. Some of the most important
are these:
That early action be taken by Con-
gress declaring a government monop-
oily over all utilities for the public
trans mission of intelligence and that
as soon as possible the telephone and
telegraph facilities of the United
States be Incorporated into the postal
establishment.
That 100000 be appropriated now
for acquiring telegraph and telephone
utilities in Alaska, Porto Rico and
Hawaii.
That second class postal rates be
revised to make second class matter
pay more of its share. of transporta-
ton expense and that the one-cent
rate be applied to all so-called drop
letters,
That public buildings erected for
postoffice purposes be standardized
and that their costs be commensurate
with the needs of the service.
That funds be expended in num-
Der of large cities for buildings not
of ornamental design but designed to
accommodate the postal service before
more money is spent in smaller towns
where buildings are not needed and
cannot be justified.
That changes be made in the pres
ent building policy which imposes a
fixed charge on the department that
has, grown burdensome.
That the classified service be ex-
tended to include the position of post
master at offices of the first, second
ond third oIoccoc
That the department be authorized
to bond its employees so that the gov
eminent may be protected more ade-
quately and that relief may be afford
ed officials and employees of the SER
vice.
That the pay of rural carriers be
equalized by fixing salaries on the
basis of the number of pieces and
weight of mail transported, length of
routes and time required to serve
them, instead Of solely on length of
routes as at present,
That 100000 be appropriated for
experiments in aerial transportation
