this place there are constantly employed
thirty-two hands; during the ice harvest,
however, the number Of employees has
been one hundred. Last year this es-
tablishment turned out about II 900 bar
rcls OF beer, or in other words forty.iour
thousand kegs. Probably one.half OF
this was sold In the city, while the
remainder was shipped to points
South and West. This year Mr..
Reymann expects to manufacture
about 1900 barrels. AS showing the
amount Of capital required in this bust

We were shown thirty thousand bushels
Of barley in one immense pile, which Ia

the way, comes from the Great West, and
costs 81 20 per bushel delivered; so that
the 10000 bushels OF barley represent an
expenditure OF nearly $4,000. Four
thousand tons OF ice are ased annually by
Mr.. Reymann to keep bis beer cool. We

he has already harvested nearly 81

Wine and beer were among the early
products OF industry in the colonial pc.
Rod Of our history. English beer was
brewed in March, and was not used until
a year old, and English beer was considi
cred the best in Europe. In ancient
times, the monasteries brewed the best
beer and ale. The brewer Of bad ale was
by the English, in ancient times, con:
tiemned to the ducking chair or mulcted
for his neglect. Ale and beer were hrsi
made without hops, which were moi
raised in England until about 1924. An

Beer was tho National beverage Of
England, and We read that no less than
%, GO0 gallons were drunk at a single en-
tertainment given to Queen Elizabeth at
Kenilworth.
Our old colonial fore.falhers recog.
nized the value and necessity OF beer. In
1887 the commonwealth Of Massachusetts
began to enact laws for the protection Of
brewers, and in that year the General
Court ,,ordered that "No person shall
brewe any beare, or malt or othere
drinks, or sell in gross or by retalle; but
only such az shall be licensed by this
Conrte, on pain of1OOs." This was the
earliest mention OF brew house in the
Colonies. The price at which the best
quality OF beer was sold in New England
in 1867, was I'D. per quart. In May,
1878, the General Court Of Massachusetts
speaks OF beer as the principal commodi.
ty OF this country" and imposed duty Of
81. per bushel on malt imported from
Europe. 80. ...l.

greatly shocked III d deeply grievsd
at the sudden and wholly unlocked
for afliiction which bcicll Rov. Dr.

DIR. Crane had conducted the usual
service, preached ar excellent scr
mon, occupying forty minutes in its
delivery, and administered the sac
rament without manifcstin~ any I'M
usual sign OF i'll health or fatigue,
when just as the choir had ccmincuc-
ed singing the closing hymn, he
suddenly became dcathly pale, stag
gered and fell violently down Two
or three steps, overturning the com
munIon service with Il crash, and
remaining for sometime insensiblc.
DR.. Mitchell and other members
OF the congregation came instantly
to his relief and rcstoratives were
promptly administered. 1t was at
first deemed imprudent to remove
tho patient to his residence Just
across the street and Il couch was,
therefore, brought to the church, bat
he soon revived sufficiently to per-
nit of his removal to the parsonage,
where he is watched over by anXi
Gus and loving friends and re lativcs.

about four miles from Coffeevillc he

One day this week the owner of

over military authority, in the to-

for the sake alike of civil and reli-

noblest products of a hundred years
of changeful history. But while
unfolding the bond of our Union
and great charter of these, our
rights, it behooves q free people to
practice also that eternal vigilance
which is the price of liberty. Re
