Buy Building for Foundry.-A real
estate deal has been consummated
whereby the property known as the
former location of the National Biscuit
company at 213-15 East Second street,
was transferred from Paul Berndt to
the Wahle Foundry and Machine
works. While in the papers the con-
sideration is shown as 81 it is under
stood that the purchase price was Ill
the neighborhood of 10000. The prop
erty is 64X150 and is occupied by a
building 40X140, brick, three stories
and a cemeted basement The entire
building will be occupied by the Wahle
Foundry and Machine works, of which
the Wahle Brothers, former grocery
men are the proprietors. The concern
will still manage their factory on the
corner of Front and Gaines streets,
where their offices will also be located
as at present but will occupy the new
building in assembling, painting AMI
storing their products.
Fire at Locomotive Works.-The of

was the first one rung up on it. The
building is a two story frame struC.
ture. The blaze started on the second
floor, presumably from an electric light
wire. The roof was burned off, and
the entire building flooded by water.
The damage will run between $500
and $1,000 But for the prompt and eff,

would undoubtedly have been much
greater.

$500 to $500 per acre, have paid
from 5 10 "a per cent annual divi-
lends from such side crops alone.
BUT, FURTHER.
a developed rubber plantation is
worth more than $1,000 per acre,
that price having been offered for n
plantation almost adjoining our land
but the offer was rejected. Thus,
while drawing these dividends, your
capital has increased 500 per cent.
NOW THEN.
We are offering a limited amount
of our stock for sale at a liberal dis
count for cash, and if you will come
in at once, your investment will be
even better than these figures would
indicate.
TO SUM THE MATTER UP.
We have 2,SO0,0OO,OOO feet of lum-
Der in sight. To quiet your doubts,
we call it only one-fourth of this, or
700,000,000 feet. This should net
us $50 per thousand, or s35,OO0,O0O
We cut this estimate down to one
half of that, or s17,500,000. This
gives us profit of S1,45S33 on each
and every share of stock, which
looks SO large that we cut it in two
and make it S72916 per share, and
still, basing our estimate on the
proceeds from Lilo of the visible re-
sources, our average annual divi-
dends will amount TO 3Gh per cent
Of the par value of our stock, even
if every share were issued and out
standing.
BUT HERE is ANOTHER POINT.
Only a small proportion. of our
stock has been sold, and it is more
likely that we will never need to
sell more than one-half of our stock.
This will not only double our divi-
dends, but double our holdings as
well, since the unsold stock will be
issued as stock dividends.
DOES 1T PAY TO INVEST?
How have the rich become rich?
Not through hard labor and patient
saving-no, siree-but through judi
cious investments. Through invest
ments that have seemed too obscure
TO the uniformed, but which have
offered enormous possibilities to
those who possess the knowledge
and the courage to take advantage
of the opportunity as it presented
itself.
HERE is YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
The proposition may seem new to
you; but, remember, the hunter who
merely follows the beaten paths is
not apt to find any game. Call at
once, or address:

FACTS AND FIGURES
Touching the Rock Island Tropical
Plantation Company

The company holds clear title TO
1900 acres of hardwood timber.
This timber before it was purchas-
ed was found TO contain more than
80 trees to the acre where it ap-
peared TO be of average and uniform
density.
These trees will average over q
Geo feet of lumber per tree, which
will amount to 100000 feet per acre,
or total of 2,S6O,OOO,OOO feet.
BUT SUPPOSE
That it will average only one-fourth
of this amount; that will still mean
10000 feet per acre, or total pro-
portion of more than 100000 900
feet. This lumber includes a large
proportion of such woods as ma
hogany, zapote, chicle, Spanish ce-
dar, paque, and many other equally
valuable varieties, some of them
selling in the American market at
$3.50 per thousand
1t sells at the railroad in Mexico
at $50 to 800 per thousand, or an
average at American railroad mar
kets at $3.50 per thousand.
NOW SUPPOSE
That the cost of cutting, milling and
marketing this lumber will amount
to $50 per thousand That will leave
an average profit of $50 per thous-
and.
BUT SUPPOSE
That only one-half of this can be
realized. There will still be net
profit of S23 per thousand, which,
multiplied by 100000, gives a total
profit of $17 600.
This means a net profit of ST.
1888 on every share of stock in
the company, without even taking
into account the considerable sums
of money which may be realized
, from the sale of dye-woods, medic
inal plants, wild rubber, and other
gums Astounding in the forest.
BUT SUPPOSE AGAIN
That only one-half of this can be
realized; what then?
one share of stock is worth 5000
par value One-half of S1,45S.33 is
! $729.16. or more than three times
: the par value of the stock.
NOW SUPPOSE
5 That it will require 10 years to get
this lumber out; this will still mean
an annual average dividend of s72 81
( per share, or 36H per cent on the
par value of the stock.
I In the meantime the land will be
2 planted to rubber, etc. Side crops
s will be cultivated, which will ma

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 mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube 10
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX.
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which Is no.
thing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any Ease Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
