There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in flamed too have a rumbling sound or imper fect hearing, and -when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma tion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out ot ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any ease of Deafness(caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Care. Bend tor circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Venice without its waters would be ajar less picturesque place than it ac-,tnals- foirflndon GnTonichJr to believe, may eventually come about. The regular increase in the delta of the Po has been studied by Prof. Marinel li. Comparison of the Austrian map of about 1823 with the records of sur veys made in 1893 shows that the mean . annual increase during those years has been about three-tenths of a square mile; and from all known data it ap pears that the total increase during six oentnries has been about 198 square miles.

The doctors said I had consumption and nothing could be done for me. My menstruation had stopped and they said my blood was turning to water. I had several doctors. They all said I could not live. I began the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it helped me right away; menses returned and I have gained in weight. I have better health than I have had for years. It is wonderful what your Com pound has done for me." I Feel Like a New Person." Mrs. Geo. Leach, 1609 Belle St, Alton, 111, writes! " Before I began to take your Vege table Compound I was a great sufferer from womb trouble. Menses would ap pear two and three times in a month, causing me to be so weak I could not stand. I could neither sleep nor eat, and looked so badly my friends hardly knew me. "I took doctor's medicine but did not derive much benefit from it. My drug gist gave me one of your little books, and after reading it I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. I feel like a new person. I would not give your Compound for all the doctors' medicine in the world. I can sot praise it enough."

NEWS OF NORTHWEST Items of General Interest Gleaned From the Thriving; Paeifie States. A AT heat Pvodneer. Uniontown, Wash , claims for the southeastern corner of the Palouse oountry the distinction of being the greatest wheat-pioducing section of the world. Within' a radius of six miles of that thriving town there were raised this year upwards of 1,500,000 bushels of wheat, with good crops of barley, oats, hay, vegetables, etc. Fall wheat averaged from 42 to 52 bushels to the acre and . spring wheat 23 to SO bushels. If any other ambitious cor ner of the world desires to contest honors for supremacy in grain-raising the opportunity is offered. Telephone Extension. The Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Company will soon' connect Hailey, Idaho, with all prominent places by long distanoe telephone. A Hue will be constructed from Boise to Camas Prairie, thence to Bailey by the Gold Belt, and then to Blackfoot. Hailey will be the headquarters of the 300 mile line between the Utah & North ern and Boise. Telephone lines ate be ing extended over the principal parts of Burns, Or., and the Prineville Tele phone Company is making extensive improvements. Hops. A contract to sell 12,000 pounds of the 1399 hops at 10 cents per pound has been made by Daniel Cavanaugb to Faber & Neis, of Albany. Pros peots for fair prices for this year's crop are very flattering. Hop men in Ore gon who held their crops and thus ob tained better prices are now out of debt for the first time in several years. Horst Bros, bought several lots at North Yakima within 10 days at 12 and 13 cents. Advance In Egrgrs. Eggs are worth 50 cents a dozen at Colfax, Whitman county. It would seem policy for the Whitman farmers to raise a million or two bushels lees wheat and put in a few aores of hens. It is much cheaper to raise a dozen eggs than a bushel of wheat, yet Whit man and other Eastern Washington counties, which produced nearly 15, 000,000 bushels of wheat last year, import thousands of dollais' worth oi daiiy and hog products and eggs every year. ' ' Canyonvllle Industries. The growing and shipping of fruit in the . vioinity ot Cany on vi lie is now so far advanced as to bring in consider able of a revenue. Prunes to the amonnt of 1,500,000 pounds have been sold at the average rate of over three cents per pound, bringing in over $48, 000. Shippers are now getting ready large consignments of winter apples, and the prevailing price for turkeys is from 9 to 10 cents gross. Lime, sul phur and salt for spraying purposes arc now in demand. Bromine-Chlorine Plant. An innovation in mining that will be of the greatest value 10 the people of Eastern Oregon is the establishment at Baker City of a JrtJmine chlorine plant, for- tte-JJOrking of refectory orsa'which have hitherto been con sidered as worthless. The Qoloonda plant, being ereoted by J. Q. English and others, and which is expected to be in operation very soon, will increase to a great extent the busi ness of the Baker City merchants. Lime Shipments. - The Tacoma & Roche Harbor Lime Company, which is the chief lime works in the Northwest, shipped 100, 000 barrels last year, against 90,000 in 1897. The increase was both foreign and local, and the president, J. S. Mc Millin, says he expects an increase this year of at least 50 per cent, basing hie estimates on trade conditions and or ders now on hand. This business ie a fair indicator of the demand for building material. Bis; Cargo to the Orient. The N. Y. K. steamship Biojun Maru sailed from Seattle last week for the Orient, with one of the heaviest cargoes ever taken from that port. The freight included 4,000 bales of cotton, 13 carloads of pig lead, 14 cars of wood pulp, besides a great quantity of fioui and miscellaneous goods. Anothei cargo soon to be shipped to the same port will contain 700 tons of salted salmon, brought over from the Frasei river. Bids for County Bonds. The county commissioners of Gal latin county, Mont., received bids lasl Monday for the purchase of funding bonds to the amount of 1137,000. These bonds are made payable in 20 years, and are to bear interest at the rate of 5 pet cent per annum, payable semi-annually in the city of Bozeman. The county reserves the right to redeem any of the bonds . after 10 years, by giving 60 days' notice. Flax Industry Growing. A result of recent agitation through out Oregon for the cultivation of flax, as a commercial commodity, is the Bowing of a considerable acreage thie fall to flaxseed. The Portland Linseed Oil works is tarnishing seed to farmers on application, agreeing to take their pay from proceeds of crops raised, for which crop they will contract at pricee that mean handsome returns. New Bank Proposed. A new bank, the second in the town, is a new project now being planned for Lewiston, Mont. The capital is ex pected to be $100,000, of which amonnt Fergus county people have already subscribed for $60,000 worth. George Bach, formally of Ctica, will be cash ier, and the principal promoters are II. Hodgson. David Hilger, Herman Otten and Louis Landt. The . bank will open its doois in perhaps a week or two. , During the season the Northern Pa cific has shipped, from the ranges to Eastern terminals for Northwestern and Chicago markets 10,000 head of cattle, an increase of 5,000 over the previous season; 515,000 head of sheep, an increase of 15.000, and 3,000 horses, an increase of over 50 percent. The present season has not yet closed. According to the correspondent in the Spokane Review, the mining town of Republic in Eastern Washington, offers exceptionally fine opportunities to capital to erect waterworks.- It ap pears "water is now selling at 50 cents a barrel.

It is currently believed that the Northern Pacific is making strenuous efforts to establish a line to connect with the Seven Devils railroad, and thus tap a rich copper region. The Northwestern Railway Company has also three crews of surveyors in the Held, and is preparing the way for graders from Huntington to the Ox 'tiend of Snake river, and from there to the Peacock mine. There are now $8 O. R. & N. surveyors working from Keating, on Lower Powder river, to .Kagle valley, arranging for the con struction work from Baker City to Seven Devils. A Good 8hoirinf. The Whatcom creamery has turned out 32,340 pounds of butter, or over lO tons since May 1, 1898. Patrons de liver their cream and receive 24 cents per pound for the butter yielded. Tha nam ol $6,802 has thus been paid out to Whatcom county residents since May. The creamery will continue in opera tion all winter. It is said that the electrio cabs in New York city did a recoid business during the blizzard and proved their entire efficiency. -; The Golden Spike. February 1 the citizens of Globe, Ariz., will celebrate the completion to that point of the Gila valley, Globe dz Northern. The regulation golden spike will be driven, and the citizens of Olobe will make the event an auspi cious one. The probabilities are that the Southern Pacific will make special ratets to Globe from all points between ix8 Angeles and El Paso, and that the inhabitants of that section of country will turn out in gala attire. According to the Electrical Review, rrof Henry A. Rowland, the distin rtjished physicist of John Hopkins university, believes he has perfected a J. 8 message telegraphic system a de cided advance on the quadruples so universally used. According to a recent compilation, Germany has 711 miles of electric rail ways, equal to those of all the rest of t'urope together. England is credited with only 98 miles. Most of the larger towns of Germany have electtio lines, and the whole system of Berlin will by the year 1901 be converted to? electricit VETO MESSAGES RETURNED.

Heretofore this rail way has always been operated by water power, but in view of the fact that during the great . ice bridges, when tourists flock to see this marvelous sight, from all over the state, the rail way is usually inoperative. This has been due to the chocking of the intake with ice and very often too low water. As there is no other means of access without a tedious descent and ascent, the tourists have been greatly incon venienced, and the management have lost considerable money. With abun dant electric power available from the Niagara Falls Power Company the elec tric operation of the road appears to be most apropos. Germany anil Asia Minor.
