Deafness Cannot be Cured ., i - i 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 con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or Impet feet hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken tut and this tube restored to its normal' condition, hearing will be destroyed! or ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. i 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 circulars; free. ; I . .

' - - "We pulled out from Hermoeina among the foothills at 0 o'clock in tho morning on a clear, cold fobruary day," Eald Al bert Bragdon, just returned from winter ing in Colorado. i'.'The wind blew strong and etift - across the heavy snowfall left oh tho ground after the blizzard storms. The gulches were packed full of snow, and we turned from the road time and again, to circle around some large, ditft. I was' the only passenger, and 1 sat beside Hank' Benedict, the overland driver, now reduced In these railroad days from his high seat on the box to the tooling of a pair of horses over the dashboard of a buckboard on a star route mail line. We were pro- tec ted from cold py heavy overcoats, caps, that pulled down over the ears, mufflers about tho nock and thick fur lined gloves. An hour after ' noon we came to a little stage and freighting station whose lead ing feature was a large Baloon and small hotel combined. ' Here we had a chance to got warm and to eat a dinner of fried beef, bacon and coffee, which went not badly in the hunger-that followed our cold "j morning's ride. . ; ' v --'- - "Off again In k half hour through a country more open, where drifts were the exception. Hank Benedict had taken a drink or two at the stage station,' and he was more sociable than he had been dur ing the morning's drive. He talked of old overland experiences and then of the snow storm, which led to the topic of theiplague of wolves which had come to devour the ranchmen's stock. i"'.' : .r ", 'I've heard: em bowling whenever J've teen -driving j after dark for! the . last aonth.f said Hank.

T,he third shot . knocked the snow about him and quick ened his pace. I fired two more shots as he ran, ! and the j sixth ; timo the hammer fell on an empty; barrel. There were no more cartridges in the magazine. : '. " There was no more ammunition along, and I put the rifle back with the promise to Hank to buy him a box of cartridges at Battensberg. We would have liked very much to have the cartridges With us a few minutes later when, on tnrnlng-the. elope of a hill, we saw a strange and thrill ing sight. Within rifle shot, to one side seven gray wolves were attacking two cows, ono a long! horned Texan,! the other a graded heifer almost grown.. The cattle when first we saw them were running away, but 'they ore quickly overhauled. They turned at bay to face the wolves and begun a fight which, must bo -fought to a fltaish, with thei lives, as the stake. The cows kept together, wheeling to moot the, wolves with their horns, as an attack was threatened from one side or tho other. The wolves didn't liko the looks of the Texan's horns and the alert way she handled them, and they devoted their principal attention to trying to separate the heifer from her. They worked in concert very cunningly to do this. While one or two made feints of attacking tho old cow, so as to induce hex to chaso them, the others; kept about the heifer, three of .them drawing her atten tion in front, while two kept in her rear waiting for a chance to spring at her gam-, brels and hamstringher. But the wary cow was not tof be tempted so far away that shd could not return in time to drive away the wolves at the heifer's flank before they began their work. The ultimate chances of the battle seemed to be against the cat tle, for the wolves, all the time closing in upon them, were growing bolder and at tacked moro fiercely, j "But thero came a timely diversion in aid of the cattle. ! A bellowing from among, some pinon - clumps a quarter of a mile away was followed by the appearance of a, large bull which came running toward the combatants. Ho was of the polled Angus breed, and his hornless head did not seem quite to meet the case of wolves, but he was big and full of fight.) He put htm sell : at once in front of the cows and charged; determinedly upon the wolves, which fell back a little before him: but. fnllv award! fctml; ha hful nrk hnrna ts f.naa t.himi thpv gave no more ground than they had to and returned to close in about the group of cattle, still trying to -cut out the heifer, which all the time was their real object oi attack . ! . --. j ; - . "So absorbed was I in the battle that I did not notice the coming of a fourth com batant upon the scene until I heard Hank's exclamation:1 j ', -1 " 'Ah, we'll boo business begin, now! There's the fellow that'll scatter 'em.' ? -. "From the same direction that the bull had come another bull was coming to tho rescue. : He was a wiry animal, less mas sively built than the ' polled Angus bull,' and his long, sharp horns, projecting well to the front of his head, showed his Texan origin. . He wasted no time in pawing or hallowin&r. but dashed noon three i of - the wolves ranged in front of the heifer, and before they could all get out of the way he had caught one With .his; horns and tossed it in the air. The wolf came to the ground upon his back, and before it could turn the bull was upon it again, thrusting his horns j through the creature's body and' pinning it to the earth. Then with an angry toss of the head ho flung the carcass" away. ! -That was enough for the wolves, who turned, and ran as he successively charged them, and they were surveying the cattle . front a long distance away as we drove from the scene of a fight that had delayed the United Statesman three-quarters of an hour.- New York Sun.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many.Jorms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Pigs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health.' Its beneficial effects are duej to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene flcial effects, to note when you pur, chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. U I- If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one -may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but' if in need of a laxative, ione should have the best, and with the well-informed I everywhere, Syrup nof ' Figs stands highest and is most largely !used and gives most general satisfaction.

Class reunions were held at 9 o'clock, and an hour later the Alumnae Association met in annual ses sion, when reports were made by officers, and letters of greeting read from many members who could not be present. The treasurer's report showed a fund, of $3, 000 lor the education of poor, daughters of the institution's graduates, and $400 was added to this amount to-day. One of the pleasing features of the morning was the formal presentation of the beautiful "1895 Class Memorial Organ," which cost $1,000. The Alumtse ban quet this afternoon was another interest ing and inspiring leature ot the meeting. Several addresses were made. " Principal Clewell made a talk in which he dis cussed trie advisability of a f Centennial Memorial" for 1902 when the college will celebrate its 100th anniversary. The prevailing sentiment, among the Alum tse present favored a "memorial" in the shape of an Assembly Hall or Audito rium for their beloved institution.
