A NEW CITY TAP.

A. NJ. Haynes has decided to make
a new city map, to be Autographed, if
there is a sufficient demand for one.
Geo. G. Garfield has interested him
self in the matter, and if he can f1Dd
sixty citizens who will subscribe
toward the enterprise it will be car
ried out. 1t would seem as though
this ought not to be hard to do, as all
the old maps are sold, and are out Of
date. There have been thirty addi-
tions and subdivisions made to the
city since that was made, besides
many changes in streets and acre
plats. If the new map is made it will
be complete in all respects, even to
showing the typography and down to
every residence within the city limits,
extending four miles north and SOUTH

IT'S FINANCIAL BEARING.

There has been considerable spec
ulation as to the financial result the
Worlds Fair will have upon this coun-
try. It has been estimated and this
estimate has gone unquestioned, that
Americans who have gone abroad
have annually spent 100000 A
New York banker who has been max
ing an estimate of the visitors likely
to come to the Exposition from for
eign countries, says that they Will
spend here during the period Of the
fair at least S500,000,0O0. This is a
sum equal to more than the nations
wheat crop, and seems excessive. But
when we come to consider that the
Exposition will surpass in magnitude
anything the world ever saw, and has
probably been advertised in
the nations of the earth more fully
than any previous fair, it does not
seem as far out Of the way as it might
be- There has probable never beer
an Exposition iD which the nations o.
the earth are taking so much Interest
as they are in this At Paris, it il
said that only four of the European
powers made large exhibits. At Chi
cago all of them will be represented
as we'll as the rest of the world.
Considering the crowds which will
gather at Chicago during the ST
mo Aths the Exposition is open, i
would be interesting, says the st
Paul Dispatch, for some one to fgur
out the beef, mutton, pork, etc., need
ed to feed the people-the butter
eggs, milk, lard, the potatoes and veg
etables of all kinds, and the fruit
needed. These will, at least, max
big demands on the farmers and gaI
deners for several hundred mile
around Chicago and secure good price
for all the articles named.
1t is not impossible that the Expo
sitiOn will have the effect of changin
the course of the worlds travel some
what, and that America will secur
therefrOm sum which, if it does nc
offset entirely that which American
spend abroad, will help materially
counterfeit the drain thus made.

MONTANA CATTLE SAFE.

The reports sent out from Montana
of the severe weather lately expert
enced has made the MankatO parties
who are interested in ranches there
somewhat nervous. 1t appears, how
ever, that the loss to stock occurred
mainly in the western portion, while
the ranches in the south central por-
tions, where local capitalists are inter
ested, have not suffered much, as the
following letter to r. d. Hubbard
shows:

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CURED.
AnOld Case Successfully Treated.

The symptoms are: Roaring crack
ing, buzzing in ears, with gradually
increasing difficulty in hearing. If
not cured the hearing will be entirely
destroyed. When the case has not
already gone to far before the treat
ment is begun Pe-ru-na will cure
every case. 1t is only after the catarrh
has destroyed portions of the mid
die ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure.
Mr.. Frederick Bieaman, of McComb
City, Miss, had chronic catarrh very
badly for many years. The disease
finally passed up the eustachian tube
into the middle ear, and had almost
destroyed his hearing. He has been
taking Pe-ru-na but short time, and
his catarrh is very much better, and
he hears again as we'll as any one.

THE NEW CANDY FACTORY.

The first candy to be made by the
new factory of Mobiles & Rosenberger
was turned out today. The factory
is starting in with but a few hands,
though it is expected that within
three months from 25 to 30 candy
makers will be at work. Three travel
ing men will be put on the road at
once, and more will be employed as
the business develops. The firm will
endeavor to do business throughout
the Northwest.
The factory occupies one store room
on the first floor and two on the Sec
ond floor. 1t is supplied with the lat
est machinery and is fitted with
steam pipes fed from boiler in the
rear. Ernest Rosenberger will have
charge of the practical work and j. G.
Mobiles will be found in the office.
Two expert candy makers have been
secured and are now at work. j. j.
Sculley, of Chicago, is the maker OF
hard goods, such as stick candy, etc
Ralph Kemble, also of Chicago, is the
expert in the fancy goods line. HI
has been employed by Tenny, the wei
known New York manufacturer
Guenther, of Chicago, and Armstrong
s. Clark, of Toledo.
The capacity of the factory will b.
be 1900 to $500 pounds daily, while a
much as 5000 pounds can be made
The fact that Mr.. Rosenberger ha
charge of the practical work will be
sufficient guarantee that the firm
product will be eXcelled by no nous
anywhere All of the usual kinds Q
candy will be made. besides man
new varieties. The best Of material
will be used, and there's no doubt blu
that the candy will have large an
increasing sale. We wish the me-
factory success.

BOARD OF TRADE rEETING.

AT meeting of the Board of Trade
Monday a letter from. Senator G.
K. Davis was read, stating that he
had received the resolution regarding
silver coinage, recently passed by the
Board, and would present it to the
Senate.
JnO. G. Noe read the following let
ter which Senator Washburn had re-
ceived from the acting supervising
architect, relative to the proposed
change in the plan of the public build
ing:
/ have the honor to acknowledge
receipt of your letter of the 18th ultl-
mo, relative to the proposed tower
and clock for the United States court
house and pOstoffice building at Man
katO, MINI. In reply, | have to state
that it is impossible to SO reduce the
cost of other portions of the building
as to allow the additional expense OF
constructing tower and placing a
clock therein. The present design OF
| the building will not admit of the SIM
pie addition of tower, and it will be
necessary to make an entirely new de-
sign which would necessarily involve
some change in the basement walls,
now under contract, with consequent
delays. The cost of changing the de-
sign with the proposed addition OF
tower and clock is estimated at $25,'
900.

Worlds Fair reported that it haC

A NEW HOTEL.
The Old Minnesota House to be Re-
placed by Handsome Brick
Structure.

Messrs. Fred Kron and Joseph
Stahl have in contemplation the re-
placing of the old Minnesota House,
at the corner of Front and Plum sts.,
with spacious brick hotel. 1t will
have frontage of sixty-six feet and
will probably be three stories high. A
rough sketch has been prepared by
Architect Gerlach and the gentlemen
are considering il, not having fully
decided upon one or two points, one
of which is whether to have the
building two or three stories. 1t is
proposed to put up the new structure
this spring and to have stores for rent
on the first floor and sleeping rooms
above.
The projected improvement would
add greatly to the appearance OF that
portion of Front street. 1t is an eX-
cellent location and the investment
would without doubt prove a profit.
able one. The high standing of the
gentlemen who have the matter in
contemplation makes it certain that
the new hotel will be fitted out with
all the modern conveniences and will
be second only to The Saulpaugh in
every respect. That such hote
would do a good business goes without
saying We hope that it will be de
cided to put up a three story build

Gave no sign, nor groan.
Now, her soul is fled,
Never more to moan.

Darling, tolls soon DER,

NOTES on THE PEACH.

Steven Powers Of the Farmer
and Fruit Grower, says |: Crop
ping the peach orcharJjs a bad
thing to do in the simmer. We
have in mind a young orchard that
was a beauty, had reached a point
where it would produce three peck
to the tree, when the owner raised
a crop OF oats in it one year, and
from that il steadily went back,
and in less than two years he dug
il up. Like The orange in the thin
soils Of Florida, the peach searches
far aud wide for punishment, and
that close to the surface ; and To
sow among the trees such RAPID
growing aud heavy feeding crop as
oats simply means starvation TO
the trees. In some California pa
per, We read not long ago a similar
experience with alfalfa.
EARLY PEACHES.
Too many of these are picked
when hall ripe, and long before
they have obtained the natural
peach flavor. Now all fruits must
reach their natural size and be
picked before they are dead ripe.
Then, though they be hard, one
can depend upon them for nice
fruits. Eager growers, desiring 10
rush their fruits in The earliest
markets, not only run the risk of
losing everything, but they give a
bad name to the whole iot Of early
fruits. lfthey would fully appre
ciate the fact That nothing is gain
ed by such methods they would
wait a few days longer until the
peaches were in better condition.
Another fact about the early
peachs which makes them so poor
Is that they are very often neg
lected more than the regular late
crop. To Get good results The soil
must be fertiIized. The peach
needs potash as much as the pota-
to, and when early crops are given
sufficient quantities OF this sub
stance the fruits will rlpen earlier
and in better condition. In fact,
the earlier the peaches the heavier
the fertilizer should be, for this
tends to force and hasten theil
growth. An eminent Florida
grower says nothing will paint the
cheeks of a peach like potash.
