At Beatrice, Neb., a plant has been
established for the manufacture of
gas from the waste matter of the
farm. The new gas plant Is not an
experiment on small scale, but a
full-tiedged gas mandatory, and its
product is lighting the streets of the
city and furnishing gas for heating
and lighting hundreds of homes. In
stead of paying out hundreds OF dol
lars every day TO coal mines and rail
roads for material from which to
make the gas which It sells, the Bea.
trice plant buys up straw, cobs. corn
stalks and things of that kind, throws
them into the retorts and the result is
u splendid gas with 10 per cent moro
heating power than the best coal gas
known. And ton for ton, the straw
and cobs make 60 per cent more gas
than does the best coal gas known
And after the gas is extracted. there
remains coo pounds OF the best coke
obtainable. In the case OF straw al.
most pure carbon remains. And this
coke is burned beneath the retorts

from what quarter the attack will be

raised against the clergy and stili
more against religious women In
France the most vocferous and the
most generally urged. even by prac-
ticing Catholics, was that which ac-
cused them of competing unfairly
with laymen and laywomen in trades
and trafIics Now that they are no
longer salaried by the state, that
grievance can hardly survive; yet 1t
is among the little ironies of life that
the deprivation of their stipends
forces the clergy into that very com
petition which was formerly counted
among their offenses.

Ninth United States Infantry.

Mrs. Katharine Strlder Page writes to
US from San Antonio. Texas. for the
Spirit of Jefferson, saying II want to
keep in touch with dear old West Virgin
ia and all the home folks" Mr.. Page is
engaged at the army post. Fort Sam
Houston. and Mrs. Page sends us copy
of the San Antonio Daily Express giving
very interesting account of the recent
arrival there of the noted Ninth Infantry
from the Philippines. Of this regiment
the Express says:
'The Ninth Infantry was organized
under the act of March 3, 1855. 1t went
through the Civil War and was in many
of the prominent engagements incident
to that bloody period of four years. On
June "a it was reorganized under the act
of March 8 of that year. when it was con-
solidated with the Twenty-seventh Regi-
'ment of Cavalry. 1t was in Cuba dnr-
ing the Spanish American War and took
part in the hostllities there. 1t was also
in the Philippines during the troubles
with the natives there and went from
there to China to protect the American
Legation and joined the regiments of
other Nations IN the assault on Pekin.
Its members scaled the great Chinese
wall at Pekin and rescued the besieged
members of various legations there. 1t
did guard duty in China until the Boxer
troubles were over. 1t then went back
to the Philippines. 1t has always acquit-
ted itself gellantly in war and commend
ably in peace. and IS considered one of
the crack regiments of the United
States.

Public Building and Loan.

The first annual report of the Public
Building and Loan Association is pub
lished in this Issue of our paper.
This is practically new association.
its corporate existence having began just
one year ago. Although a new associa-
ton, the report herewith published clear
ly shows that the confidence of the CON-
munity which has been reposed in
has not been misplaced. Its board
of directors having after due consider
alton selected one thousand shares as the
proper limit upon which the association
could be profitably conducted. it has the
aim of the board to adhere to this policy
although the amount could have been
ly exceeded. The investments of
ssociation have received strict atten-
IRON the board of directors of the
who. although business men
with whom time is valuable, have not
hesltated to devote both their time and
attention to the interests OF the share
holders of this association. The number
of redeemed shares. amounting to 100 up
to the present time is unusually large
considering that the association is only
one year old. One of the strongest evil
.dences that this association is run strict
ly in the interests of the stockholders rs
the fact that average redemption during
the year has been one hundred and twep-
ty nine dollars and sixty cents. thus
clearly indicating that the borrower
will be treated with all the consideration
possible, CONSTANT with safe business
principles. Despite this LIBERAL treat
ment of the borrorer and as indicative of
the fact that generous policy is the best
policy, the interest alone amounts to the
considerable sum of six hundred and
sixty-seven dollars, from which dedu ctlng
one hundred and sixty-seven paid as in
terest on money borrowed to meet the
redemptions. leaves the true sum of five
hundred dollars interest. This, as can be
readily calulated.i is the interest on SIS 324
LOT one year I SIX per cent. and yet the
true rate of interest on the dues actually
paid. amounting to $I3. 900, speaking
roughly, would be at SIX per cent. average
interest, three hundred and ninety-five
dollars, so that here is clear gain of
about two hundred dollars to the asso-
citation. Our books are still open for the
subscription of stock, and any party de-
string loan, whether by redemption or
otherwise. will be treated with the.same
courtesy and fairness that has been ac-
corded to those who in the past year
have borrowed money from this associa-
ton. Either the secretary and treasurer,
d. S. Hughes, or the solicitor ]. T. Por-
terheld, will be glad to furnish any infor-
nation in their power to any one who
may be DESTROYS OF their assistance.

deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach tn,
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 ont OF ten are caused by Catarr h
which is nothing but an inflamed 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 Send
