A Story on chas. A. Davis.

Mr.. Chas. A. Davis, representing
the Adam Forepaugh Il Sells Broth
ers' circus, was here Saturday. He is
quite an interesting person to con-
verse with, though he has slight
imped .meut in his speech.
A good story is told on him
which happened at Kansas City the
other day. Mr.. Davis never uses a
telephone when he can avoid it, be-
cause of the impeachment in his
speech. Conversation to him is like
travelling over very rugged road.
The other day at Kansas City Mr..
Davis led TO break his rule OF steering
clear OF telephones. He was anxious
To adjust Immediately matter with
Col. Harry T. Powers, manager OF
HOOley's theatre, Chicago, and he de-
cided to communicate telephonically.
de went To the long distance tele.
phone at the Hotel Midland, had Col
Powers called up, and courageously
entered on the task OF making his
wishes known. This column would
not suffice to record the ensuing con.
yersation, Of which nine-tenths con-
sisted Of repettlOns Of the same con-
sonants. Mr.. Davis has known what
1t was to have trouble With cunso-
nantS, but on this occasion all his
previous experiences were surpassed.
ConsOnants stood up in his path like
perpendicular mountains. But pa
thence aud perseverance finally made
good their reputation for conquering
all difficulties, and al last Mr.. Davis
completed his arrangements and the
telephone remained intact. Davis,
with look Of inefTable relief, came
from the telephone, wiped the pers-
piration from his brow, and offered
payment. The girl In charge grinned
and said:
It'll cost you forty dollars, SIR"
"G-g-gr-great H-h-h-Heav.
ems" cried Davis, Il thought the rate
was ad-d-d-d-d0l-dOllar and 5
s-s-oeyenty f-f-f-ave."
THAT'S for five minutes talk. We
charge extra for each additional min
ute."
Brother Davis slowly brought forth
sroll Of bills from an inner pocket,
and as he paid the forty dollars he
ruefully murmured: 'N-n-n-next
It-t-t-time III s-a-v-e t-t-t-
time and m-m-m-mOney by tt
lt-taking a t-t-t-train."

The municipal ownership question
at Newton has received a great i'm
petus through the city ownership OF
its waterwOrks plant. A dispatch
from Newton, speaking of the success
OF The plan, says. 1.-THE immense
success of tine waterworks plant Of
Newton has done good deal toward
furthering the idea Of public owner
ship. The plant was built a little
more than year ago, mainly because
the people had tired Of paying i'm
mense sums to the company Of eastern
men which owned the old plant. 1t
was practically worthless, but the
city bought it up and then set to work
on the finest plant in this part OF the
state. Figures Of the annual report
OF the superintendent of water make
some startling showings. Under the
old regime it was necessary to pay
over $1,000 per year for fire protection.
The past year, under the new plant
owned by the city, this has cost only
81, 600, and there are a greater number
OF fire plugs than under the old system.
Having been so successful with water,
Newton is figuring on electric light
now,.and probably will put in plant
Of its own shortly, since the present
one, like the old waterworks plant, is
a very expensive luxury"

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 con-
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition Of the mucous lining
Of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
deafness is the result. and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever; moe cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but al
inflamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case Of deafness caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

take the place Of coffee. Sold by all

used it because when properly pre-

strengthens the nerves. 1t is not a

it with great benefit. Costs about
