Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies, deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Ku stachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inhumation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing wiP be destroyed forev er; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflam ed condition of the mucous sufaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by ca tarrh) thatcannot he cured by fla il’s Catarrh Cure. Send for ciculars free. F. J. C H E N E Y A CO., Toledo, O.

The statement that the first school ever organized in Polk county was at Rickreall, May 16, 1868, is clearly a mistake. Mrs. A. S. Duniway, then ! Mrs. A. J. Scott, taught a school in Ko la, then ambitiously called "Cincinnati ti,” in the summer of 1853, and some where in the records of pioneer time is the statement that Mrs. George L. Cur ry taught school in Polk county at a date several years earlier than the one last noted. Oregon pioneers were not so slow in educational matters as this erroneous statement would indicate. The sehoolhouse was set up early in ev ery community, and many of the sub stantial citizens of the state received only such education as they got in the little log schoolhouses of Oregon Terri tory between 1847 and 188(4.
