At last the people Of Chicago are In
a fair way to obtain their rights.
The Infamous Gas Trust will soon
have a foe worthy Of its steel.
When the Trust bought the infamous
frontage legislation at Springfield, 1t
shut out all new gas companies, but 1t
did not shut out the solid and honestly
conducted Ogden Gas Company, which
now proposes to parallel all Of the Gas
Trust lines In Chicago.
The Ogden company stands for cheap
gas and good gas.
All of it's customers are satisfied with
1t, and that portion Of the city served
by 1t Is the best treated In the gas line
Of any part Of Chicago.
The Ogden company means business
1t has the money.
1t has the machinery.
1t has the brains and the ability ia
carry out Its projects In every way.

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, constitu-
tlonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
Eustachan Tube. When this tube gets infam-
med 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 destroyed forever;
nine cases cut of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

A DIAMOND RING FOR SINKER

A solitary bass weighing about one
pound is all that Charles J. Griffin, a
New York broker has to show for his
fishing expedition that cost him $780,
Mr.. Griffin has been visiting friends in
Toledo, and, hearing of the fine bass
fishing to be had near this city, came
here recently with a party of four gen
tlemen to enjoy the sport. they put
up at a local hotel and early in the
morning a carriage was hired from a
livery man and the party drove up the
river to place known as the rip
ples," about five miles from the city.
Mr. Griffin placed a fine, large min
now on a hook, and made cast into
the rushing stream. The minnow
the water and he concluded that a
sinker was needed on the line to keep
the minnow under. He searched the
pockets Of his nobby golf suit for a
suitable article to use, but none could
be found.
A bright idea entered his head. Why
not Use his diamond ring? He thought
the matter over a moment, pulled the
ring from the third finger of his left
hand, dexterously pulled the obstinate
minnow from the hook, and tied the
ring to the line about one foot above
the hook, placed a fresh minnow, and
made cast.
The bait had hardly touched the
water when Swish and the rapid
revolution Of the fine reel advised Mr.
Griffin that he had made a catch. The
fish, which proved to be a bass weigh
ing about one pound, finally wore itself
out in it's struggle for freedom, and
the first fish caught, and Griffin con-
graduated himself on his good luck.
Another minnoW was placed on the
hook, another cast was made, and
again the swish" and a more rapid
unwinding Of the reel occurred. Griffin
thought that he was having phenom-
email luck, but in the frantic endeavor
to free itself the fish was successful in
breaking the line, and to Mr.. Griffin 5
horror and amazement took minnOw
hook, 10 feet Of line and the diamond
ring that was attached, and valued at
$780,
Since the loss of Mr. Griff1n's dia-
mond ring has become public there is
not an idle fishpole along the banks If
the Maumee river. Men, women and
children are fishing night and day. In
their prayers they ask that Dame For

minister, ask for it. Some papers as
sert that the music-loving sovereign

ances Of Perosi The mistake is said
to have arisen from the fact that an
American resident, who occupies an
apartment in the Colonna Palace and
has a private gallery in the church,
with an entrance from her rooms, had
invited some nuns to join her in her
gallery to hear the oratorio. But
their priestly adviser forbade the nuns
to accept the invitation, as being too
mundane. By some confusion of ideas,
so common with sensational report
ers, the correspondent made Of the
convent inmates the mistress Of the
Quirinal and of the perhaps over-zeal-
OTIS priest the authority of the Vatican.

THE KAISER'S FAVORITE GAME.

Skat, the national card game Of the
Germans, at whose mere mention the
true Teuton's thumb and index culver
in spasmodic spontaneity, would hard
ly seem to be in need Of encourage
ment in the Fatherland. Although Ut
scarcely eighty years existence, it has
become so popular among both stu
dents and ''Philistines," and "wher
ever the German tongue resounds, >"
that, in the opinion of not a few, it
now almost amounts to national
nuisance. A whole literature has
sprung up from the card table. GrOths
Kunst des Skatspieiles has seen more
editions than many a classical German
novel, and ignorance of this favorite
game exposes a person to social ostra-
cism. No wonder that even the kaiser,
although hostile to every kind of gam
bling, is a 0evotee of skat. True, his
winnings or losings at this game can
not be very great, for the highest
stakes are "pfennige," of which a
hundred are equivalent to only one
United States quarter. This latest ac-
complishment of the versatile monarch
became but recently publicly known by
the emperor's attending during the
holidays the production Of Blumen-
that's new comedy, Auf der Sonneseite
con the Sunny Side) In this charac-
ter Papa Wulkow, one Of the charac-
ters, breaks out in jubilation when he
discovers that his future son-in-law
can play skat with schieberamsch,
whatever this variety of the game may
denote. This scene greatly amused
the kaiser and between the acts he
made Inquiries as to what this "schie-
beramsch" might be, in order to add it
to his other accomplishments. 1snis
the Berlin papers made known to his
people on the following morning, and
"gownsman and townsman" rejoiced
in the delightful news.

1t appears that the story current in

Queen Marguerite of Italy was refused
admission to hear Perosi's new orato-
rio in the Church of the Holy Apostles,
which Rome correspondent recently
reported, was caused by paragraph
published in Roman journal, at the

IT COULD NOT FOOL HIM.
Bright Young Man Who Knew Ice
When he Saw it in a Glass.

It takes a big piece of ice to make
an old-fashioned cocktail properly
For years the barkeepers have been
content to break up ice in irregular
shapes, making pieces about as big as
toy rubber ball, which are dropped
into the soothing mixture. But Chi
cago bartenders have lately developed
taste in this little matter for ice
cut into perfect cubes about two
inches on a side, so that every cock
tail gets just as much ice as every
other one. Several large saloons
have gone a step further and have the
ice frozen to order in balls which fit
nicely into the glass.
Into one of the latter class Of places
went a young man few nights ago
and he was greatly interested in the
perfect balls Of ice he saw used, as
they we're entirely new to him.
"What are those?" he asked the
barkeeper.
well, now, if you keep it quieb |
don't mind telling you," said the bar
tender with a wink at an 4old custo-
mer. "These are made of glass. We
keep them in the cracked ice here so
they get good and cold and then slip
them into cocktails. Of course
there is a great saving on ice, as these
balls do not melt and can be used over
and over.'
The young man swallowed his drink
and the story with equal facility and
went away with his eyes bullying over
and ordered two oldfashioned cock
tails. He had been telling his friend
the glass story and when the ice
marbles were produced and dropped
into the glasses he nudged his part
ner exciteoly.
"See! What did [ tell you?" he
said.
The other man watched the glass of
liquor a moment and then turned
around disguised.
Get out" he said in deep disgust,
"glass don't float"

WHAT "KALSoMlNEs" ARE.

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary prep
arations, manufactured from whiting,
chalks, clays, ETC. They are stuck on the
walls with decaying animal glue. Alabas-
tine is not a kalsomine. 1t is a rock-base
cement, which SETS and it hardens with age.
1t can be re-coated and re-decorated without
having to wash and scrape off it's old coats.
Beware of a large four-pound package of
light kalsomine, sold to dealers for four
pounds and offered to customers as a five
pound package.

WHAT ALABASTlNE

Alabastine is the original and only durable
wall coating on the market. 1t is entirely
different from all kalsomine preparations.
Alabastne is made ready for usG in white or
twelve beautiful tints by the addition Of
cold water. 1t is put up in dry powdered
form, in five-pound packages, with full di-
rections on every package. 1t takes the
place of scaling kalsomines, wall paper and
paint for walls. Alabastine can be used on
plaster, brick, wood or canvas and child
can brush it on.

The dealer who tells you that he can sen

something he has bought cheap and is trying
