Electric Lighting Plant Returned to
Company This Morning.
City Fathers Have had a Little
Experience in the Bust
ness World.

The plant which has furnished
the city with lights during the
past twenty years and which
was purchased ten months ago
oy the city council for the city,
was this morning turned back to
the Company. The venture
which the city fathers thought
was going to be bonanza, has
proven otherwise and the city
will retire from the lighting busi-
ness poorer, butwiser. Whether
the city has lost anything during
the past ten months, or whether
there is a gain is rather hard to
ascertain, different men figure
different ways. True it is that
the mem bers of the Commission
which has had charge of the busi-
ness have worked conscientiously
for the interest of the people, if
they have failed it is because
success was impossible. The
Company will continue to light
the city, and if it gives the SER
vice that it has given in years
gone by, no one will have the
least complaint to make.

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 constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed conditional of the mu-
cous lining of the Eus Gachian Tube.
When this tube is infalned you have
a 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
his tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

S. A. Carpenter of Elmwood,
Pierce County was in the city Tues

ITEMS OF INTEREST

In starting an Ananias club Mr.
Bryan has taken one idea from Mr..
Roosevelt, anyhow.
Standard Oil money must look
good to people in the United States
Senate.
People who have been under the
impression that the Swedes are
running the State of Minnesota may
be surprised to learn that the Demo-
cratic ticket bears such names as
Mclaughlin, McGlynn, Hurley,
O'Brien, Doran, Bennan, Gehan and
Burns. The Irish are not down and
out yet.
A Denver man on his deathbed
selected another husband for widow,
but no one seems to know which one
of the two he had the grudge against.
"Taft," so Mr.. Roosevelt is quoted
as saying, "will make our greatest
President, excepting Washington
and Lincoln" 1t appears that the
cultivation of ex-Presidential mod
esty is already under way.
The independence party has de-
monstrated that very small polite
al organization can stir up a great
deal of excitement.
So long as shady transactions are
being discussed it would be interest
ing to know just how so many letters
are making their escape from tie
Standard Oil archives.
Up to date the fireworks of the
campaign have been with Bryan.
If there are republicans who are
dubious because they do not see any
great uprising for Taft throughout
the country they must remember
that Bryan is always elected in
September. That is to say, he has
most of the noise with him at that
time. 1t subsidies afterward, when
the republicans get down to real
work.

Boat Burnd Up.

Last Thursday evening at half
past SIX o'clock a gasoline boat
owned by Anton Husband which
was lying in the slip down at the
docks, caught fire and was COM
pletely destroyed. Ingvald
Bronsmo who was in the boat
had his arm and hands badly
burned in trying to put out the
flames. Bronsmo was just going
out for ride in the boat but
thought he would try the engines
before starting, he turned on the
electric switch and in a second
the boat was a mass Of flames.
There happened to be leak in
one of the pipes near the engine
from which the gasoline leaked
out and this caught fire. Brons-
mo tried hard to put out the
flames but in doing sowas severe
ly burned. He was forced to
abandon the boat. There was
about five gallons of gasoline in
the tank at the time and the
valve being open, this all leaked
out and was burned, otherwise
an explosion might have occurred.

seen land advance to a point.
which he would not have believed
could have reached ten years

see a more rapid advance in
values, and those who think they
will ever want farm. or five or
ten acres, should buy now. The
