DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
iug of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the rseult, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will bo destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
Wo will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hairs Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free.

be built with regard to the greatest
possible development that such a line
may produce, considering economy in
construction and operation. The com
mission will be empowered to invite
Yroposals for construction and equip
ment of the railroads and enter into
contracts on behalf of the govern
ment.
If the right-of-way has not previous
ly been obtained by the company to
which an award shall have been
made, it may. within such time as tin
commission may designate, proceed to
obtain it as provided in the act of
?May 14. I SI'S.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska. ? Every re

several men have made snug little for.

FORT GIBBON. - A pay sir. ?k
has been opened in th?> (.old mount,

Yukon, according to William Lane,
nephew of C. D. Lane of Nome. 1'.

eighteen holes wore sunk and a pay

ed. The pay is nine feet deep and
averages 10 cents to the pan.
