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

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.
-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.
We'will give One Hundred. Dollars
for any case of Deafness. (caused. by
catarrh) that cannot be cure by Hall’s
Gatarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
