AND WE THOUGHT WE HAD A
 NAVY.

AND WE THOUGHT WE HAD A
 NAVY. Our battleships are out of date" Says Mir. Henry Reuterdahl: Our gunners never could shoot
 straight;
 We might as well have none at all Their armor is too light and low, Their turrets death-traps only; Some day they'll all to fragments blow And leave us sad and lonely And should they ever chance to meet Some real ships in battle, Why Henry says our poor old fleet Would run like frightened cattle. But say. Hen. what strange cause took
 hence
 That erstyVhile Spanish nation? Was it the hand of Providence, Or was it gravitation? O Henry. go and soak your head, And then go buy book Entitled "U. s. History" And OCT its glorious pages look. But even Henry Reuterdahl Would be entirely satisfied, And others just as critical. With milk and cream from the Val
 ley Pride.

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 inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube When this tube Is in- flamed 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 taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Wars Waste of Good Men.

Every one who has come to a rea-
sonable maturity must have had OPP
portunity to observe for himself how
great is the loss to society when
first rate man dies prematurely,
says Harper's Weekly. If he leaves
family, he leaves it bereft of his
care and his training and exposed to
perils from which he might have
shielded it. If he leaves no family,
there is the incalculable loss of the
children he might have had Some
fatherless families turn out well In
spite of their handicap, but the un.
begotten families of dead fathers are
total loss. What our country
North and South, suffered from tho
decimation of its very best stock in
the civil war cannot be computed.
On this tendency of war to waste
the indispensable best blood of ma
tions President David Starr Jordan
bases a very interesting argument In
favor of peace. He has hopes that
the present century will see the
permanent establishment of peace
for mankind. The perils of peace to
nations he makes nothing of as COM
pared with the perils of war. His ar
gument is all biological.
So-called ''decadent" nations are
none other, he declares, than nations
that the best stock has been killed
out Of, leaving the perpetuation of
the race to inferior individuals. He
maintains that neither adversely nor
luxury destroys a race; and that
generations true to the type will fol-
low generation, unless the best indi-
viduals are killed off.
Greece, he says, died because the
men who made her glory had all
passed and left none of their kin
and therefore none of their kind
Rome fell because of the extinction
of her best. The peaceful struggle
for existence, DR.. Jordan thinks
puts premium on the virile virtues
The best men get ahead in time OF
peace; the idle, weak and dissipated
go to the wall. "Other things being
equal" he says, "the nation which
has known the least of war is the
one most likely to develop the
strong battalions' with whom victory
must rest"

stead, the happy old couple preferring
to pass the day peacefully and quiet
ly in conformity with their past lives.
The Zachman family has had one
of the most interesting histories OF
any in the city. For fifty years Mr..
and Mrs. Zachman have resided at
their present home, located on the
corner of Church and High streets.
When the happy young couple moved
into the home fifty years ago, there
was scarcely house in the neighbor-
hood and the land lying south OF the
place was farm land.
AIR. Zachman was born in Baden,
Germany, immigrating to this coun-
try when only fifteen years OF age.
His, wife, Magdalena, CDietsch) Zach
man was the daughter of Jane and
Michael Dietsch, and was born and
raised in Richland township, eight
miles south of the city. She has
spent practically all of her life in
Marion county, and Is well known

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Zachman nave
enjoyed the blessings of good health

lspectively, are apparently as young as
ever The entire family seemed to
inherit the great physical qualities OF
the parents and all are strong and
healthy. OF the family of nine child
iren born to the union, all are living,
are prosperous and enjoying excel
lent health.
Mr.. Zachman was n wagon maker
by trade and severai of the vehicles
which were carved by his skilled
hand, are still in use in the country.
| He retired from active labor about
six years ago and since that time
has been living very quiet life in
the old homestead.
| A life Deomcrat and always faith
full to all political duties, Mr.. Zach
man was at one time one of the most
noted members of his party in local
circles. He has voted in Marion for
|ffty-one years and still looks forward
Ito election day with anxiety and
,pleasure. Mr.. and Mrs. Zachman are
both very fond of reading and the
Igreater part of the day was spent at
reviewing old dairies and thus re-
Icalling many pleasant "reminiscences
,of fifty years of happy married life.

PLATES TO INSPIRE TALK.
One of the Missions OF Highly Deco
rated Chinaware.

Artistically decorated CONVERSE
tion plates are now found In the
homes of many Of New York's most
exclusive sets. Some of the finest
specimens cost as much as $4,000
dozen, but they may be bought as
low as $500, says What to Eat. The
custom originated in the passing of
an exquisitely decorated plate for
the admiration and approval OF din
ner guests, and from what developed
into an established custom Of having
choice china plate at each guests
place when the guests take their
seats. The merits of the plates then
form a subject of conversation be-
fore the dinner Is served. Artists or
great skill perform the work OF
decorating the china. Each or the
myriad colors requires separate
firing to assure the original tint OF
its durability.
Although these plates show the
same color scheme in sets. each plate
has its own picture. probably the
miniature production OF some f@
nous painting. Or, among the new
est of these beautiful plates, curious
aud wonderful effects are produced
on rims and centers In the popular
highly glazed porcelain, OF which
turquoise blue is the color in highest
favor, accompanied always by fla
grees or encrustations of gold. Gold
is never falling factor in the deco
ration of all conversation plates, and
as the only beautifier OF complete
china table services 1t is decidedly In
vogue

REBATE CHARGES ARE INVESTIGATED Case of Chesapeake and Ohio
 Under Hearing FICTITIOUS BILLS MADE
 7 According to Testimony of Clerks Southern Roads Were Dcfrauded Out of Many Thousands
 of Dollars.
FICTITIOUS BILLS MADE

Richmond, Va, February 19.--In the in- vestigation of the violation of the Hep burn act by giving rebates of the railways centering here. which commenced before United States Interstate Commerce Com missioner Lane today, the case of the Chesapeake and Ohio was first taken up. A number of witnesses were examined whose testimony tended to show the split ting of rates. by reconsignment without naming Richmond in the waybill. the shipper thus getting advantage of the true rate and saving $15 per car on grain.
 One witness, chief clerk for large wholesale grain house, said that after an old scheme was broken three years ago he suggested to MT. Gilbert, then assistant general freight agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio, proposition for the saving of 8 cents hundred on what is called val ley carriage. It naturally followed that the trade would go over the Chesapeake and Ohio, he said. in reply to a question as to what the Chesapeake and Ohio rall- way got out of it. On blank expense bills of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway witness said he would prepare a showing of the waybll number, car, all station numbers, amount and so on-all fictitious. MT. Gilbert gave him authority to in struct the billing clerks to bill out the cars. and he did it by fictitious numbers that never appeared in the company's files The whole matter was confined to the Chesapeake and Ohio offices, and no one outside could suspect that the billing was not genuine. Witness said the firm paid the Chesapeake and Ohio 5000 or s300O month on it's business Answering the commissioner, the witness admitted that the southc>- roads were "defraud- ed" out of lsnts hundred. amounting to about s15 car, his firm shipping 95 or 30 cars a month.
 The different southern roads were beaten out of this amount under the old Lynchburg and Valley schemes. Wit ness could not say what the local con- petitors of his firm did to meet the com petition
 Agents of the Chesapeake and Ohio freight department testified that on orders from A. P. Gilbert, assistant general freight agent, they delivered to the Sea- board Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line shipments of grain which originated here, but which were billed in such way that connecting roads regarded them as through shipments from the valley of Virginia In this way the cars took part of through, and not the local rate, a saving to the shipper of Si5 a car. Chief Clerk Chappell said he was ordered to correct the false billings and Issue cor reoted ci.es
 Bllnng Clerk Jones testified that the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad records were destroyed. Commissioner Lane failed to secure from witness admission that 10. D. Hotchklss, general freight agent, was aware that there was false bilIin. Two orders to the station agent to rebill were signed "E. D. H.'
 The hearing will continue tomorrow.
