Recall Subject

adjutant, was received by Governor
Geer this morning from W. T. Sherman
post, No. 4, department of Oregon, G. A.
R , of Wasco :
'Resolved, That this post most
heartily indorses the action of Hon. T.
T. Geer, governor of Oregon, for his
action in refusing to demand the return
of our volunteers from the Philippines,
believing that the demand for their re
call at this time, when their services are
needed by the national government
would be a foul blot on the record ot oui
brave and patriotic regiment, who have
shown themeelves to be the equals in
patriotism and gallantry in camp end
neld of any body of men wh i ever faced
their country's foes. And by said action
the name of Hon. T. T. Geer will be en
rolled with the names of our other wa
governors, who so nobly sustained lite
national government in the days of the
civil war."

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness ia caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rciuLIiag sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and J
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
evsr; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but en in
