DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only oue
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 vou have a rumbling sonnd 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 tuba restored to
its normal condition, hearing willbedestroyed
forever; nine cases out ot ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give Due Hundred Dollars for any
case o Deat'uess (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bend for

Beau Nash, who, like Beau Fielding

to strange expedients between 1G95 and

money, some of his friends promised to
equip him with fifty guineas upon this

MINE PAYS CITY'S BILLS.
Baker City, Washington, Owns a Profit
able Deposit of Gold Ore.
The town of Baker City, Wash., Is
one of the most favored of municipali
ties, for It is the owner of a water sys
tem which is a veritable gold mine.
About a year ago the city authorities
issued bonds to the amount of 100,000
and established a gravity water sys
tem to supply the city from Elk Creek,
teu miles away in the mountains. Aft
er the new system was nearly com
pleted. it was discovered this summer
that the flow of water was not suffi
cient to meet the demands of the city
and the council issued more bonds and
purchased the celebrated Auburn ditch,
which brings a large supply of water
from the mountains to a point about
eight miles from the city. The water
is excellent, there is plenty of it and
it will soon be connected with the main
water syslem.
All this is very well, but there Is
something distinctly peculiar about the
new water system of Baker City. The
title to the Auburn ditch carries with
It the title to the celebrated Nelson
placer mines, situated eight or ten miles
west of the city, and in securing the
water the city also acquired a gold
mine, probably the first ever owned by
any municipality in the United States.
These mines have been leased in the
past year by year to people who have
taken out good returns every season.
This year the owners have made a good
clean-up. Next year the city can ope
rate the mine itself or lease the privi
lege to others.
It is estimated by a mining man of ex
perience that the Nelson placer mines
will pay a sufficient revenue to pay all
the expenses of the city government of
Baker City and afford many Improve
ments now greatly needed by this rap
idly growing little city. For instance,
the town is in urgent need of a good
sewerage system, electric street lights,
street pavement and systematic street
sprinkling during the dry months. It
is also proposed to erect in Baker City
next year a permanent mineral palace,
to be constructed of gold and silver
ores and to contain a large collection
of the ores from every camp and
mine in Eastern Oregon, so arranged
and exhibited as to answer all ques
tions as to the mineral resources of the
country. It would show to a stranger
the exact location and character of all
the different kinds of ores, gold, silver,
copper, coaL nickel, kaolin, asphalttnn
and the location and description of all
the working mines and prospects.
It Is believed that the rental or pro
ceeds from the Nelson placers, which
in such peculiar manner became the
property of Baker City will ran the
city and pay for these much desired
improvements, and perhaps aid in wip
ing out the city's indebtedness already
being steadily reduced under a cash
basis system of government.
COMPEL CITIZENS TO VOTE.
All
Belgians Qualified Must Exercise
the Elective Franchise.
The Belgians have made an important
discovery. They have found out how
to accomplish something that no Amer
ican commonwealth accomplishes. They
have found out how to compel citizens
to vote. They do not send the nonvot
ers to Jail, but the coercive means em
ployed is so effective that at a recent
election out of 1,058,165 eligible voters
only 5,551 failed to vote without giving
previous notice to the courts as required
by law, and of this number 2,621 were
summoned before the magistrates, were
able to present aceptable excuses, such
as age, illness or unavoidable absence.
The number punished for not voting at
that election was 2,930, or exactly 2.76
out of every thousand.
How has this wonder been aleved?
In the case of first offenders the state is
far from being harsh. The magistrates
simply admonish the negligent citizen
that the habit of staying away from the
polls will cause him trouble if persisted
in. He has begun to make entries on
the wrong side of his account with the
state. If he fails to vote a second time
there will be a penalty. In that event
he hands the magistrate $5, and if he
still continues to refrain from voting
as the elections recur his political rights
are suspended for ten years. Some day
we shall be as efficient as the Belgians
are in enforcing the performance of po
litical duty.
If men will not vote why let them call
themselves voters? Why bother to keep
their names on the voting lists? Why
not let the fact of their refusal to take
part in the government of the country
be known of all men by reason of the
absence of their names from the suf
frage lists?
Before the year 1893 in Belgium it Is
said that 16 per cent of the voters re
mained away from the polls at every
election In spite of all that the party
workers could do to get them there. But
as soon as the law making voting com
pulsory was passed the rate'of absten
tion fell below 5 per cent. Hartford
Times.
The Trying Year of Marriage.
Which is the most trying year for
newly married people? It has general
ly been assumed that the first year Is
the trying year, since then the pair are
serving an apprenticeship. I cannot
help considering married life a busi
ness partnership, for which an appren
ticeship is required before either party
is competent for the life work in
which they have engaged. Of course it
is more than a business partnership, for
there is the spntirrmntnl nhasn of th

ertheless the first year isanor..; plesj
a continuance of the honeymoan, and
the romance continuing does much to
smooth over difficulties, differences of
opinions, trials with temper, and the
struggle which always occurs between
the wills of the two parties for su
premacy. I assume that no two people
meet together even socially for any
length of time without the occurrence
unconsciously of a struggle for the
mastery, often so politely conducted as
to be unnoticeable. In married life in
every instance the husband or the wife
is the master. The question as to who
is the master depends upon the com
paiative strength of will of the two
individuals. Green's Fruit Grower.
