DEAFNESS CANNOT BF CURED 1
by local application*, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There to aaly one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tu.be. When this tube is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imper
flect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness Is the result, and un
etas the inflammation can be talnm
out and this tube restored to Ms nor
mal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of i?u
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for dr

SMALLPOX
III DAWSON
Daw-son is entirely free of small
pox, according to the following letter
from the Dawson Board of( Trade.
The letter, which follows, speaks of
the conditions as they arc and have
net n :
Dawson, Yukon, July 29.
Secretary Commercial Club,
Skagway, Alaska.
Dear Sir: ?
Numerous reports have reached us.
that a very exaggerated idea of the
extent and character of our recent
smallpox visitation, is very general
ly held by residents of other cities.
In some cases they report many
many deaths and alarming proportion
to the spread of the disease, whereas
as a matter of fact, we have only
had 23 cases of a very mild type,
(and no deaths) all of which are now
cured and out of all danger of spread
ing the disease. There has not been
a new case or suspct for 30 days,
and as a matter of record, we are as
clean of this particular disease as
as any city in the world.
We wish, that, through your body
>ou would kindly give this matter
the publicity, which we think it mer
its, and assist to remove the errone
ous impression that prevails in Skag
way and other cities.
Yours Truly,
Dawson Board of Trade.

The Druid*.
The Druids were evidently of very
great antiquity, for there cannot bo
much doubt that It was one of their
customs that Virgil had In mind when
he wrote In the "Aeneld." vi. 142. that
the "only means of access for a living
mortal to the world of spirits was the
carrying of a golden twig which grew
In a dark and thick grove." The re
semblance of the story to the Dniidlcal
rite Is perfect. The Druids practiced
their rites in dark groves. If a mis
tletoe was discovered growing upon
an oak a priest severed It with a knife,
and a festival was held under the tree
at which two milk white bulls were
ofTered as a sacrifice. This was a sac
rifice to the sun god. and the mistletoe,
from Its pale greenish yellow tint, was
regarded as a kind of vegetable gold
and was accordingly looked upon as
being a fit offering to the sun ? New
York American.
Catching Speed.
Two wild eyed horses, wearing dliap
ldnted harness and drawing a battered
delivery wagon, stopped at the stable
door.
"Just had a runaway !" panted the
driver.
"Then, for heaven's sake, don't put
those horses In with the other horses
that will soon go out on a trip," said
the hood hostler. "If you do they'll
run away too. They always do. Re
fore I learned as much about horses as
I know now 1 brought on a dozen
runaways by doing that fool trick
The horses that have Just been on a
spree are still worked up to fever
pitch, the rest of the horses catch the
spirit of the devil from them, and as
soon as they get out they take a
header."? New York Times.
Deep Mourning.
The manager of the theater racked
his brain In vain.
"We must do something," he repeat
ed bitterly. "Feople will expect us to
do something to show respect to the
proprietor now that he is dead."
"Shall we close for the night of the
funeral?" suggested the assistant stage
manager.
"With this business? You're a fool,
laddie, a fool. No; put the chorus in
black stockings."
And it was even so.? Sporting Times

AT JUNEAU
Mayor E. Valentine made the trip !
up Silver Bow Basin yesterday and
today In optimistic terms holds out
encouraging views for the future of
Juneau and Uils community In gen
eral, says the Juneau Dispatch. Mr.
Valentine went as far as the Per
servance Mine and was surprised to
note the excellent progress being
made upon this valuable property.
"The workers at the Perseverance
are dally crushing about BOO ton* of
ore and the bodies of rock are seem
ingly Inexhaustible," said the Mayor.
The mine force has not bla*ted any
ore for some time, as there Is plenty
of free rock ready for the big atamp
mill.
Mayor Valentine noted the regu
larity of the California-Nevada Cop
per Co., crew, and saM this morn
ing that their new flume had all
been completed and water forced
through the same. Under U?e sup
ervision of Superintendent Angus
M&ckey. the work of tunneling into
t-he mine workings Is being rapidly
carried on.
"The Alaska--Juneau Mining Co. i*
busily engaged running a tunnel un
der Snowallde gulch and everywhere
in the Basin there are signs which
will ultimately mean Increased pros
perity in Juneau." said Mr. Valen
tine.
The trip up the Basin is well worth
the while of any Juneau resident.
Superstitions of Scalping.
Indians l>elleve that scalping Is anni
hilation of the soul; hence the eager
ness of the Indian to secure the walp
of his enemy and save bis own scalp
iHjprlved of the scalp the Imdy becomes
more carrion, not even worthy of bnr
Int. "Whether or not Its removal an
nlhllates n soul," says General l>odge.
author of "Our Wild Indiana," "the
Indian I* yet sure that a scalp l? 'strong
medicine' and equally snre that Its tak
lng by him will Involve consequences
to hi in either very gi>od or very twd.
and he does not always know which.
Ail Indian will never take the scalp of
a colored soldier, nor does he give any
reason for It; all to lie got out of him
by way of explanation is. 'Buffalo sol
dier no good; heap bad tncdi<lne.'
Whatever the special religions opinion
of each Indian In regard to taking the
scalps of slain enemies, I have never
yet known a single case where the
scalp of n suicide was stripped off. and
In many cases the superstition Is so
strong ns to prevent the Indinns even
from touching th? l?>dr "
