NEVADA CITY, NEVADA ©O., CALIFORNIA Published every evenin, except Sundays and Legal THoldaye by BROWN & CAINS joan P. BROWN. on at the Postoitice at Nevada GCity.a as + cond-class matter. PRLEPHONS No. 4. ¢ a rs ee a TUESDAY. .....APRIL 12, 1898. FACTS ABOUT OUR NAVY. The United States is the fifth naval power in the ‘world.. The navies of Great Britian, France, Russia and Italy rank ahead in the order named. Germany and the United States are about tied. Our present effective ‘fighting force consists of four battleships of the first class, one battleship of the second class, two armored cruisers, eighteen cruisers, fifteen gunboats, six double turreted monitors, one ram, one -dynamite gunboat, one dispatch boat, one transport and eight torpedo boats, . The Iowa’ weighs nearly 12,000 tons, and as twénty tons is the average load of a freight ear and twelve cars isa good load for a locomotive engine, it would take fifty locomotives to haul the great steel structure. The powder used is brown and in chunks the size of a caramel, A charge for the biggiest guns weighs 60 pounds and is hoisted to the breech by a derrick, the powder being sewed up in burlay bags. Our battleships have a speed of from fifteen to seventeen knots an: hour. Ortisers niake nineteen to twenty-four knots, while the monitors can travel only five to seven knots. The ,biggest guns in the. navy,,are fofty-ninefeet long ; big enough ‘for a man to crawl into; four feet in diame. te® at their largest part, and weigh 138,500 pounds, ¢ prthereshouts. There are six pear admirala.in active _ sctvice. Theoffices. of, ‘vige-admiral ana admiral are unfilled, . so there is no head of the navy: excepting Secretary Long. Some of the. guns in the .mavy can} fire a shot twelve miles; farther than a man can see, for the guns are aimed . ' and sighted by.machinery. The amount expended by the navy }; department in 1897 was $34,561,546, This is a larger sum than has been ex4 work by them. 17 -tf THE COMING BLECTION. Bverything Indlcates the the Approteh of a Red Hot Campaign. The political pot is beginning +6 boil. Candidates for nomination onthe State and county ticketsare laying wires and mending fences. It bas been as good as'settled that Judge’ Maguire will be the Democratic candidate for Governor if he lives. while. the Republicans are divided between, Fitzgerald, Flint and two or three other possibilities. County politics are somewhat mixed: It is donbtfal if the Populists will put up a county ticket after thelr rather disappointing experience of the ‘past, Many who were middle of tbe road men two years ago aré now back with the Republicans or the Democrats. The Nevada county aspirants for good berths are in most instances conducting still hunts, while in Sierra and several other-counties of the State they are coming out in the open and flooding the papers with their formal announcements, It is expected ‘however that within a very short time the aspirants up this way wijl come to the front and teli the people wnat they want, The newspapers will find room for what théy have to say. j Will Not Go to Klondike.

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. -Deafnesy is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect, hearing, and.when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to . ite normal condition, hearing: will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but aa inflamed condition of the mucons surfaces.
