DIFFERENCE NOTED IN FIGURES (Continued from page one.) eliminated, the figures might receive some serious consideration. In other cases where excessive damages are asked the boosters for the spending and widening say that comparing the claims claims with the assessed valuation the claims are either based on the expected Increase In "property growing out of the proposed opening and widening, or the remonstrators should be taken at their word, and their valuation brought up to their claims and their tax assessments fixed accordingly. Work for the Assessor. Jacob Schloer, for instance, it Is pointed out, in his remonstrance, asks that the city In view of the widening take the shortest of his four lots fronting on Calumet avenue off his hands at a price which he sets at $3,125. This lot Is situated at the corner of Calumet and Plummer avenues, has a width of twenty-five meet and a depth of sixtyfive. To the south of this lot Mr. Schloer owns three more lots, somewhat longer, owing to the angle. These three lots and the one on which Mr. Schloer sets a value of 83.125 are valued, according to the books in the city treasurer's office at-$375. Usually

the assessor's valuation represents only

one-third to one-half of the actual value. ; In Justice to Mr. Schloer. he nas built sidewalks, planted trees and otherwise greatly improved his proper ly, an or which will be destroyed. D. Doworak, who owns a splendid corner at Calumet avenue and Sibley street. It is pointed out. Is assessed ror 1800 on his real estate. Yet he asks 81.050 for the seven-foot strln which he Is to give up along Calumet avenue. These are not isolated cases, how ever, they are merely examples of oth ers that are on record. Tomorrow morning the board of pub lic works will receivo written remon strances, the time having been extend ed from last Monday, so as to give every property owner an opportunity to get his remonstrance in shape. The board will then hold hearings from time to time until all the remonstrators have been heard. BRUIN ATTACKS DUSKY ACTOR Grappling "Baar" Don't Like "Culud Folks."

THE MOST WIDELY READ NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN INDIANA THE TIMES. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth ing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
