MIGHTY
MONTEREY
Continued from First Page)

an entrance The Montereys personnel
is nineteen officers and 112 men. and
once she is safely in the entrance OF Ma
Mia harbor nothing in the Spanish navy
would be likely 10 bulge her from her
post. Her dispatch. therefore may nave
an important bearing upon the plans OF
the Spanish government so openly pub
lished Of sending re-inforcements to Ma
Mia.
SMALL COAL CAPACITY.
The only doubt as to the feasibility OF
sending the Monterey is her small coal
capacity. She has bunker room for only
two hundred tons Of coal. and though
more might be stored on her decks. 1t Is
doubtful whether she could at the ut
most carry more than enough coal 10
take her 10 Honolulu-one third OF the
way TO the Philippines. -.
II is possible that the Monterey VIII
20 in convoy and, after eXhaustlnS the
coal that she will take on at Honolulu,
she must either be lowed about 1000
miles on her trip or perform the diflcul'
operation Of coaling at sea.
The Navy Department gave at no news
to-day touching the movements OF the
American and Spanish squadrons IN tne
neighborhood OF Cuba. II IS PLAIN 10 De
seen. however. that the officials are eN-
moment. What they most fear IS the
effect that might be produced upon our
people by greatly exaggerated and mis-
leading reports from Spanish sources OF
some great naval engagement in wnich
the Standards would claim the victory.
THEIR USUAL CLAIM.
II is realized that the first neWr or an
engagement in the neighborhood Of cuba
or 10 the eastward may reach the United
states through the Spanish cables via
Madrid. and these are almost certain no
matter what the result may be, to make
such n claim for victory for the Spanish
side as is even now put forth by the
Standards I'm Havana I'm the case Of the
battle Of Manila Bay. Obviously. the
only manner in which the truth could be
discovered would be through our own ON
cial reports.
The Navy Department is proud Of the
record made by the oregon from an en-
cheering point OF view. The reports 10
the Department from the ship show that
she does not need five cents worth OF
renairs 10 her machinery after her LOW
miles continuous run. The record IS said

Baraboo, Wis, March 2S.-TSpecial. /
ExCOunty Treasurer Walter Stone has
been asked to make up difference of
over $1,000 III his accounts with Sank
county. When the present county treas
urer assumed the office he found that all
was not right and SO notified the county
board of supervisors. \ committee APP
pointed 10y the chairman undertook to in
yestgate the matter. but the problem
was too difficult for them to solve They
could not determine whether or not Mr..
Stone owed the county. An expert ac-
countant was then employed. The board
listened TO his report. the explanation of
Mr.. Stone and committee was then APP
pointed to join with District Attorney
Bentley to settle the matter with the eX-
trea sUrcr.
The trouble came about through al
legged careless bookkeeping, wrong en-
tries sometimes being made, it is claimed.
and often mistakes in adding. Some
times the errors were in favor of Mr..
Stone and sometimes in favor of the
county. The total amount Of errors in
favor Of Mr.. Stone amounted to over
$4,000, but the errors the other way re-
duced the amount to about $4,000. The
vouchers have been destroyed, the ex-
treasurer has a receipt in full from the
county. the bondsmen are released and
the problem is a most perpleXing one.
Mr.. Stone declares that he never had the

The most prevailing Affections that

world are rheumatism, neuralgia, ca
tarrh, asthma, Ia grippe and their kin
dred ailments. The country is full Of
sufferers from these complaints. AL
thought the most learned experts Of the
medical profession have labored for a
century to produce a curative, until
quite recently no positive results were
effected. To the Swanson Rheumatic
Cure Co., 167-69 Dearborn street, Chi
cagO, belongs the credit for having pro-
duced the new remedy. 1t is being ex-
tensiyely advertised under the trade
mark of give Drops" The trademark
is self-explanatory. Five drops make a
dose. The effect is magical. In days
gone by other alleged cures have been
marketed with the promise to take
effect in thirty days or more. Five
Drops begins to cure at once. Immedi-
ate relief is felt. In order to more eff
fectively advertise its merits the COM
pany will for the next thirty days send
out 100000 of their sample bottles Of
this positive cure for % cents bottle

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 infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the infammatio can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

LET THE LADY STAND.
Unemployed Man Explains Bitterly Why
He Would Not Rise,

He Would Not Rise.
| saw little episode in a Main street
car one night last week which illustrates
peculiar condition of society in the
average American city. The car was
humming along through the upper part
Of town. 1t was 4 rainy night and the
car was we'll filed. At every street cor
ner women were crOwding in laden with
Water-soaked bundles and all looking
more or less bedraggled and out of sorts
At Main and Mohawk streets a smart
looking, Well-dresSed young woman en-
tered the car and stood hanging to the
straps. Directly in front of her sat 4.
Sad-faced but very reSpecta ble-lOOking
man. He looked UP at the young woman
but gave no indication that he intended to
give his seat to her. One by one the men
had surrendered their seats to the women
until only two or three remained sitting.
Standing next to the smart young woman
was another young man, evidently a man
of position, who knew her. As the car
rushed along toward Cold Spring the
smart young woman swung about ON the
straps and showed signs of WEAKNESS
Still the young man in front of her made
no motion toward surrendering his seat.
"Oh, I'm so tired it seems as though
would drop down." she said to the young
man standing by her side. Of course
that was too much for her gallant friend
and, STOPPING over, he said to the sad
faced young man sitting down: My
friend, would you have the kindness to
give this young lady your seat? She is
very tired"
The sad-faced young man folded his
arms resolutely and replied ''No, 1 VIII
not have the kindness to give this young
woman my seat. Last Monday morning
she took my place in Blank & Co.'S as
bOOk-keeper, because she would work for
So a week less than | was getting. If
she can take my place in business she can
take my place in the street car. I have
wife and a little baby starving at home.
| have been tramping the streets all day
trying to find work. | am tired too"
Everybody in the car turned to listen
to the sadfaced young mans words.
They were very earnest. The smart
young woman turned with a sheer and
looked into the face of the young man
who stood beside her. Nothing more was
