There has been some discussion here as to whether the Valley City electric light plant is a paying investment or a loss to the city. The statement has been circulated that the plant is a heavy loss on the town. The following is from the Valley City Times-Record: It will interest the property owners of Valley City who have been com plaining about excessive taxation and placing the blame for the same upon the management of the electric light plant to know that Mayor McPherson, after more or less thorough examin ation of the books, makes the asser tion that the plant, instead of being an expense to the city, actually shows an excess of receipts over expenditures. The profit shown for twelve months ending December 31, 1900, is small, only $93.01, but it is on the right side of the ledger. Mr. McPherson claims to have been very careful in gathering his statistics and vouches for their correctness. There has been an im pression that the plant was man aged very loosely and that the ex pense for salaries was considerably larger than there was any necessity for, all of which was at the expense of the tax payers, and if Mr. McPherson can demonstrate that the institution shows a profit instead of a loss his statement will be read with consider able interest. 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 eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound imperfect hearing and when it is en tirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the intlamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

When the delayed eastbound train was about to pull out this forenoon a Chinaman left it, walked up 5th avenue and started down Front street. As he left the train a brakeman told him that he would not have time to go over town but the Celestial mutter ed to himself and went on. Conductor Curran shouted after the man to come back but he heeded him not. A stout brakeman was sent after the rice eater and grasping him firmly by the arm led him unwillingly to the train much as a small boy is led by his papa to the woodshed when there is some un pleasantness to be adjusted. Tears flowed down and made furrows on the cheeks of the Celestial as he was led to the train. But the hardhearted brakeman would not relent. Pas sengers stated that the moon-eyed gentleman put in his time weeping— for his country perhaps. He is sup posed to be a hop fiend. Some were of the opinion that he had heard of the Boxer society, organized by James town young ladies and his purpose was to stay here and join if possible.

R., was draped in black and covered with, flowers when the house met. The chaplain in his invocation referred feelingly to Generaf Shaw's death.

Washington, Feb. 12.—The anti trust bill was again under considera tion by the senate judiciary committee but no progress was made toward se curing a report. Some of the members of the committee expressed the opin ion after the close of the meeting that no report would be made during the present session of congress. The bill as it passed the house is satisfactory neither to the Republicans senators or the opposition. The latter, how ever, has proposed that the bill he re ported as it passed the house, with the view of getting it before the sen ate and there attempting to amend it, but the Republican senators have taken the position that the bill should be perfected in committee.
