MACHINE TO SET
TOBACCO PLANTS
Large Acreage Will be Used at Down
ing for Raising Tobacco
This Season.

DOWNING, Mo-, March 25.-Owing
to the high price received for tobacco
last year the acreage in this vicinity
will be larger this season than for a
number of years. Almost every farm
er who has land suitable for growing
tobacco has either arranged to plant
it in tobacco or rented it to some one
who will plant it. The rental charged
for such land is very high compared
with the rental of other land, but
even then the crop is very profitable
to the man who raises it. Last year
the average profits were consider.
ably over 500 per acre.
S. I. and H. H. Ross, two of the
leading tobacco planters of this place
have just returned from visit to
the east where they purchased ma
chine for setting the plants. This is
the first of these machines brought to
this section but several more will
likely be in use here by next season
BY using this machine the crop can
be planted without the large crew OF
men necessary without it, also it is
unnecessary to wait for rain to make
the season" for setting the plants as
| the machine carries supply of water
and makes its own season" around
the roots of each plant.

IGate CITY Special Service. l

[Gate City Special Servicc.1
SPOKANE, Wash, March rs G.
Herbert Moore, mayor of Spokane, has
set aside eight days, beginning April

900 club, the city park commission and
the various ward Improvement clubs.
! 1t is expected that $4,000 men. women
and children will take part.
The week will furnish ore of the
most remarkable and at the same time
wholesome spectacles ever witnessed
in any city of the 100000 class on this
continent Men who have made mil
lions in the mines, forests and rail
roads and other lines of commercial,
| financial and industrial activity will
work shoulder to shoulder with labor
ers, mechanics, clerks and Office men,
and on the morning of April II the
I city of Spokane may be expected to be
as spick and span as society debut
ante at her coming out party.
| One of the features of the general
cleaning day plan, which was original
ed in 1896 by Aubrey Lee White, presi-
dent of the city park commission and
civic beauty exponent, will be the
! planting of thousands of trees, shrubs
and vines by the Spokane Tree Plant
ing association, composed of 1880
children above the third grade in the
public schools.
Forty thousand persons participated
in the work on April IS, last year, and
10000 school children had special
day the following week, and at the
close of the campaign the city was as
clean as Dutch housewives kitchen.

ly to have something to say asked:
Am ! hurting you?" Tie customer
replied, mo, not much. You don't hurt
me half as much as | got in the last

enjoyment by asking at once. He
shaved on and let the good news soak
in and then finally, just as if he had &C
cidently happened to remember he
said, What chair did YOU sit in?" and
the customer said Il was at the

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 condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
Ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when 1T is entirely
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrah, which is nothing but an in14amed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Divine Healer Drops Into Town and
Offers to Cure the Sick Free
of Charge by
Praying.
WILL PREACH ON SUNDAY
Claims That the schlatter Bounced
Out of Quincy This Winter
Was Not He, But an
lnposter.

Rev. Charles Mclean, known as
"Schlatter the Divine Healer" is in
the city with his long flowing beard
and long hair for the purpose of hold
ing religious meetings Sunday after
noon and evening in the superior
court room. which was granted him
by the mayor and marshal
He claims to be the real Schiatter
and not the one who was bounced out
of Quincy last winter, whom he says
was an imposter an da pretender.
Tie man has numerous press clip
pings. showing that he has been all
over the world and reciting many
miraculous cures which he has made
by prayer.
He makes no charge for curing the
sick and will preach Sunday Afternoon
at 3 O'Clock and in the evening al
o'clock in the Superior court room
He is stopping at the Commercial no
4 tel and will cure sick people there any
time from s to s, without charge.

One of Schlatter's press clippings
states that he has cured seven million
persons and raised seven from the
dead during his career.
Schlatter is an odd looking man with
his unkempt hair and beard and I'M
tidy shabby clothing, but he claims to
be working only for the Lord and car
ing not for money.
He is not the divine healer" who
visited Keokuk ten or more years
ago, but brand new one and the
real, genuine article so he says, all
others being limitations.
