The Cost of the Navy.

The announcement that The Navy
Department wants Congress to build
three new battleships next year attracts
attention to the enormous cost OF the
new navy that is being built. ln the
mast wear this country expended over
s36. 600. 600 on the new ships that are
now being built. The average battle
shin costs from Sc, 200 to $4,000
600. Enormous as is this first cost, 1t is
practically only the beginning.
The report of the Paymaster General
Of the navy Just issued gives some star
ling data as to what it costs to keep up
our navy. The battleship Kearsarge
cost the government for the last Il
months she has been in commission over
half a million d liars. The Maine IS
even more expensive, for she cost more
than $544. 600; the Missouri cost over
$3.50 600; the Wisconsin seems to be
the most expensive of them all, Tor she
cost over $50 600. -
The cruiser Ba timOre, in the last u
months. has cost little over 1886, 900.
But the Brooklyn is almost expensive
enough TO rank in the battleship class,
for she cost over $47S,OOO last year-a
trihe more than the Oregon, which cost
little over $475, 900.
The three boats which are kept at the
disposal OF the President, the Dolphin,
the Mayhower and the SylPh-sIso cost
a pretty penny. The Dolphin last year
cost over $lll,000; the Mayhower for
the four months she was in commission
cost over So, 600, while the Sylph,
which is the pleasure boat which IS used
most freq lenly by Mrs. Roosevelt, cost
$25, 600 Tor the year.
Torpedo boats range from S25, 600 to
s50 600 wear aud the collier Absrenda
cost last year about S65, 900. The total
sum expended last year by the govern
ment for maintaining ships ahoat was
s1o 93l. 9S3 81. in addition, the nine
receiving ships cost the government
about SO, 5OO,O 900. .
In addition to all these expenses, 1t cos

How often do we hear women say: III
seems as though my back would break,
or Don't speak to me, am all out OF
sorts?" These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and " the blues are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare Itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some uterine arrangement. Nature
requires assistance and at once, and
lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments OF
women. 1t has been the standby OF
intelligent American women for twenty
wears. and the ablest specialists agree
that it is the most universally success
full remedy for woman's ills known TO
medicine.
The following letters from Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among
the many thousands which Mrs. Pink
ham has received this year from those
whom she has relieved.
Surely such testimony is convincing
Mrs. j G. Holmes. of Larimore, North

COAL BUYING DULL
LATE SEASON FILLED MANY BINS
AND SUMMER DEMAND is
NOT COMING IN.
ottunwa Dealers in the Black Dia-
ronds Are Not Worrying Because of
Inability to Fill Orders-Seasons
Demand Has Been Brisk.

Ottumwa coal dealers are not wor-
rying this year because of inability to
fill late orders. for the seasons de-
mand has been brisk all through the
winter and spring and they have anti
ctpated the want. A peculiar condition
arose this year which is almost unpre-
cedented, that is, the refilling of bins
and storage houses late in the season.
This, of course, was caused by the
cold April and May weather. which
necessitated the running of furnaces
later In the season than usual
Very few people can put in supply
sufficient to last throughout long cold
winter because of lack Of storage IA
cilitias. Many of these patrons of To-
cal dealers almost duplicated the late
fall orders and as consequence have
enough on hand to warrant fire any
cold day. Then again, orders for the
fall and winter have not yet COM
menced to come in in any appreciable
quantities. Last year April was a
heavy booking month and delivery
commenced early in the summer sea-
son. Troubles in the coal fields are
not expected this year, hence the buy
ers are in no hurry to place orders.
The Local Markets.
There is no change i'm the local
wholesale markets today. Ear corn,
butter and eggs and potatoes are
changed in the retail quotations.:

RAILROAD NOTES.
May Carry Phones.

George Johnson of Burlington. road
foreman of the Burlington route is agi-
tating the movement to use telephones
in cases of wrecks which is meeting
with favorable reception by the Bur
lington officials and the new wrinkle
may be adopted by the system
The idea is to carry telephone in
strument on all trains and in every
way car, so that when wrecks occur
between stations the telegraph wires
can be cut and the instrument con-
nected up. Then by G series of sig
nails, the wire can be detached at the
dispatchers' Office and connected with
the phone. where the message will be
received and acted upon accordingly.
In so many cases where wrecks occur
delay of from fifteen minutes to an
hour occurs before they can be re-
ported and a wrecking traiT sent to
the scene. By the use of tho telephone
the message can be instantly sent and
it does not require an experienced op.
orator to do it.
The plan is a. good one and Is new.
At the present time none of the rail.
roads have any system by which a
message can be sent in at once to
headquarters from the scene of a
wreck, but the trsinmen must go to
the nearest station where there is
telegraph operator and there send in
the word. - Burlington Gazette.
