DEAFNESS CANNOT BF CUBED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the dlseaixvl portion of the car.
Tb?oe Is only one way to cure doaf
r.osa, and that la by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed
you have a rumbling f*>und or lmper
feet hearing, and when It is entirely
oloeed, deafness is the re6uH, and un
elss the inflammation can be taker
out and this tube restored to its nor
nial condition, hearing will bo de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ton
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an Inflamed condition of th<
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by

A number of men wore one evening
silting around the stove In a country
?torc talking about iht* rapid growth
of certain western towns Among
them was nn old man of the mime of
Neilson, who wa* commonly called
"the boomer." since ho had made scv
era! fortunes booming towns. Heine
called upon to narrate some of bis ex
periences, he told the following story:
One of the towns I boomed 1 called
after myself? Neilson. It was on the
line of a projected railroad that was
to cross another projected railroad
I bought all the property at this cross
ing that had been staked out by the
chief engineers of the two roads and
started my town.
The trouble with new towns is that
they are composed almost exclusively
of men. Tor awhile Neilson was (he
worst place on the face of the earth.
It was full of gambling shanties, and
I conldn't get the men to work l>e :
cause they preferred to gamble. 1
got them together on several occa
sions. telling them what a bright pros
pect we had before us if they would
only be respectable, but that settlers
wouldn't come In so long as they
made the place uninviting. This
?would sol>er them for awhile, but it
?wasn't long before they would drop
back to their former condition.
My right hand man was a Swede
named Olaf Hendrickson. I was talk
ing with him lugubriously one day
about the Immorality of the town
?when he said to me:
"Mr. Neilson. you can never make
a community of men respectable with
out a fair proportion of the op|K>site
sex. Women are essential to men Just
as men are to women, and children are
essential to both. My advice to you is
' '
BTTSHKD INTO KAOR OTHKK'S ARMS*.
to make some move with n view to
inducing respectable women to come
In here, marry these men and establish
families."
"You're n bachelor, nendrlckson." I
replied. "How comes it that you. hold
fng such opinions on the necessities of
matrimony, are not married?"
"That Is because before 1 came to
this country I loved a girl In Sweden
When 1 parted from her 1 told her I
would send for her just so soon as I
could pet together the money for the
purpose. Ten years hnve passed, and
I have not been successful. A year
apo 1 wrote her that she had better not
wait for me any longer, and since
then I have not heard from her."
I was so impressed with Ilendrlck
son's views that, leaving him in charge
of my plant, I went east for some
women. I visited institutions where
I might And those who needed to be
provided for, and as some of my men
were foreigners I enlisted the interest
of the immigrant commissioners at New
York. I could have returned in a few
weeks with ail the women I wanted,
but I must have good moral ones and
fairly attractive, so I wouldn't take
any one without satisfying myself In
this respect. Finally 1 got together
the number of volunteers 1 wanted,
apportioned among Americans and
foreigners as my men were native or
foreign born. I struck one woman
from Sweden, older than the rest,
whom 1 Intended for ITendrickson.
Meanwhile my right hand man was
busy erecting cabins intended for
temporary residences for the women
until they should become wives. He
had no difficulty In getting the men to
work for such a purpose, and the
Chbins, he wrote me, sprang up like
mushrooms.
Whrn all was ready I put the worn
in Into one passenger car, which they
filled, and look them out to Nellson
On the way I talked with them to pre
pare them for the shock they would
receive at meeting their future hus
bands and assured them that they
would have no difficulty in bringing
the men to the condition of human
beings Instead of that of wild animal*,
to which they bad sunk.
The Swede whom I had intended for
Hendrlcksor told me that, having no
where to go on her arrival in America,
she had been attracted by the name of
my town, Neilson being a common
I name In Sweden. She said that, t?iug i
?Mi'rty, she wonld not likely be chosen (
for a wife. Indeed. ?he did not care j
to marry; she boped to make hertelf I
0 'fill tn some particular way. It j

to transport my cargo ao?ie twenty

wore mud.- on the road before reneh
Inj the town1 But I had rantloned
the girls to go alow and not marry
ntiv man without at least two days
1 on rt ship. They all agreed to thK
and there was not a wedding nntll
forty-eight hours after our arrival
That time was scarcely up when there
were a dozen. The tntth Is there were
no villains In my town, because na
s?.on as I had discovered that a man
was inherently bad I Imd fired him I ,
was surprised to see that as soon aa
(he women arrived the men began to
slick np Razors made their appear

women's coming I noticed several men
in boiled shirts.
On the night of tbe feminine entrv
not a gambling ahanty was doln? ?ny

picked up later on. they received their j
deathblow. On the evening (' "'r

We were nil so busy that I took no |

so valuable a purpose as a single wom
an that 1 abandoned my plan As soon
ns the women arrived I sent Hendriek
son away to stock up In a lot of
articles that their presence rendered
requisite. It was my intention to pet
him up as proprietor of a dry poods
store. Then It struck me that as such
h,- would need a woman's assistance
badly. If Indeed she would not be the
real manager. So as soon as he re
turned I told him 1 had a wife for
him. and since be had lost the girl be

The next morning 1 summoned Hen

house thnt we might together lay
plans for the establishment of the
store Hendriekson nrrlved first and
] wis discussing the business matter
with him when the door opened and

The two stood looking at each other

then rushed into each other's arms.

den. She had saved some money. Just ;
enoueh to take her to New York. and.
knowing that her lover was some^
where In the west, had availed herself
of my transportation to get farther n j
her quest - -
That's (he end of my story, gentle- j ;
men, except to add I hat the rascally
civil engineer* of the two railroads
had staked them out where they were
not Intended to cross for the purpose
of secretly buying np the property
where they were Intended to cross.
Rut our town was not left out In
the cold. The power of the softer
sex having been demonstrated. 1 made
up my mind to find out what the wom
en of Ncilson could do In saving us
from that fate. I picked out several of
the best of them and sent them, head
ed by Mrs. Heudrlcksou. to the gen
oral offices of the roads to tell the
story of the salvation of the men of
Kellson. I sent by them n letter cor
rol>o rating any statement they might
make, giving a picture of what the
town was before they came and what
It was later. Inviting the railroad offl
cei-s to send some one to make an In
sertion and report. The women made
n deep Impression, and the vice presi
dents of both roads came to see Nell
?on The result was that the roads
were crossed five miles west of whet*
the engineers had IntendaS and te
nured the prosperity of our dty." ^
