Local Merchant Gives a New
Reason for Light Plant

Mr. Timothy Kellogg. a retired
manufacturer now residing in this
city. has some new ideas In regard
10 the municipal ownership 81 the
electric Hight and power system.
Mr. Kellogg views the proposition
from the manufacturers standpoint
fie said this morning, that aside from
the ownership u such n plant. tho
surplus power could be used az an
inducemaut FOR Eastern mnnufactur-
erE b locate here.
This city IS q commercial CEN

gtes products 70 Alaska and the
isles Of the Pacific. Now. mort 81
these products are Manufactured in
the East st a disadvantage. First:
the climate ri tho central east makes
u hard 10 accrue much profit on
manufacturing. for IN the cold
weather, you must shut down alto
gether, or spend part of your profits
to keep your factory warm. Then
the power Ia costly.
His Argument
ITO get down To this lighting prop
ositiOu. the surplus power derived
from the lighting plant can be sold
10 factories. There is no danger II
any Of the power not bainK sold, be-
cause. n Il became known I'm the

ter, can furnish cheap electric pow.
er, a large number Of Eastern manu-
factufera win come here.
Suppose that the city stood ready
to make ooutractH with manufacture
ers D. supply them with power at
nominal rate, would not that be an
inducement 10 them to locate here7

must lay the blame on the rail-

the trouble 10 investigate the
prices Of coal yesterday, aud learn-
Cd that the local dealer IS making
just 40 cents on each ton Of coal
sold. fn order that there might
be no mistake regarding II, the
reporter examined tho books and
freight bills Of one coal firm, and
found that the freight on coal into
this city IL almost a. much ~ the
prlco Of the coal itself. TO Illus
trete, on one small car load Of coal
weighing nineteen tons, the dealer
paid s4g.50 freight. The coal cost
him $3.50 ton At the mines. and
The freight was e2.44 making the
cobt Of the coal IS .04 at Chickasba
On tho cars. Now, the dealer
must accept mine weights, which
are always short. and the shrinx-
nee On every car load Is from two
70 three tons. Taking two tons
a. the shrinkage on this load,
eli 90 must be added TO the cost
OF the car, or about 10 cents to
each ton. This brings the cost to
e0ef per ton. Now Il costs 80
cents per ton 10 place IL 10 the coal
dealers bins. Adding 80 cents 70
the cost Of each ton brings IL to

LIFE IN MANILA.
What an American Business Man
 Saws of Things as They are Today.

The following letter written lately by New York business man now in Ma. nila gives an interesting description or the situation in that city as It is today. It reads as follows, says The New York Sun:
 II wish you could get out here and see this county You would have one of the greatest surprises of your lire ana matter for thought for long time to come. The country is beautiful the cll- mate delicious. though warm to one ac- customed to the temperate zone. Ihe sun is hot at noon, but shade is always near and somewhere a breeze is always to be found. The nights are comfortable all the year round. Every morning at about awake and wra., a blanket about me. Only once in forty years has the ther- mometer reached 1O0 degrees.
 The war seems as far off here as It did in New York. It affects Manila and the other principal cities just as much as the war against the SIOUX ana Apa- ohes used to interrupt the business in New York, Boston or Philadelphia. There are a few skirmishes in outlying districts of course but they are of little or no importance. No one ever speaks or any war here It is all finished from local point of view and every man IS strain ing each nerve to solve the mighty prob lem of peace.
 "The rapidity with which those prob lens are being mastered surprises one In ten years d new civilization will have permeated all the islands. In i've years l believe we will see a new Manila All ready the Fflipinos of rank and means are feeling the contagion of American op- timism and are looking to the future with glowing hopes Ex-insurgent Generals are taking posts under the government on all sides, and those who have been al ways loyal have gotten over their fears or the insurgents and are thinking solely Of their share in the tremendous betterment that is to come.
 Laws have been drafted and are now before Congress which. when passed. will throw open the almost inconceivabIe riches of these islands to American de- velopment. Capital has already begun to come in. and at least two ply syndicates have been organized, one of S2,VOo,oO and one of S4, 900 0oo. But both are. l think, premature. though they may be all right if recognized as soon as the new laws are enacted.

2 Simplicity, not pla1nneSS, IS the faSnion.
 Clover leaf patterns appear in number of silks.
 Coarse muslins, in large and vivid de- nigns should be avoided.
 For the linen gowns there comes a linen curtain lace that women are using.
 A dainty black and white boa has pink silk rose petals scattered among its frills
 Painted violets are strewed over the plain white silk cover of a pretty par aSoi.
 The Panama hat having been adopted as the fashion. London has gone crazy over it.
 SiIken ties, tucked, hemstitched and long enough to go twice around the neck and tie, are selling at a low price.
 A Turkish sleeve is cut long in back and wide from the elbow down gathered into a narrow band at the wrist
 Bright green aigrettes, long, beading toward the front of the hat. and laid almost fiat are seen in the trimming of some hats.
 The best style for blouses has the flat eida plaits, either covering the blouse or divided by bands of lace or Swiss em- broidery.
 Mercerized chambray. which is cheap. is excellent in ecru. AlF the linens are fine. for they come in plain colors and are warranted to wash
 simple straw is trimmef with blue and white polka like affairs, which look like two broad blades of grass. The deep green with the blue is good.

LOSS OF FLESH.
What Medical Authorities Say as to
 ,..,-B the Danger Line.

,s1 the Danger Line.
 Some ofsthe best medical authorities say that if a person loses one-third of his weight, i that the system will not have power enough left to ever recuperate. That isfto say, if man or woman who weighs 15Os pounds in health should, for any cause. be reduced to 100 pounds, they tcould not recover. but would shortly die. This fixes the danger line at 8 1-2 per cent. Some say the per cent. Is a little higher. and, some say it is little lower. But this estimate is probably nearly cor- rect.
 Are you losing flesh? If so. do you not know that 1t is not only foolish but dan- gerous? You need not continue to lose flesh another day if you will use the proper remedies.
 Peruna is a great flesh producer. It is through the mucous membranes of the body that all the nutrition must be ab- sorbed. If the mucous membranes are healthy. the loss of flesh Is rapidly re- stored.
 Peruna produces healthy membranes. Unhealthy mucous membranes is known as catarrh. Catarrh may be slight or se- were. Peruna always cures catarrh wherever located.
 Catarrh of any of the vital organs leads to loss of flesh. The catarrh may be so slight as to give no other warning save the loss of flesh. Any one who Is losing flesh for no apparent reason. can be sure that catarrh Is at the bottom of it.
 Peruna is sure to cure such cases. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
