Avast Field for Reformation.

Kansas City Journal.
The people of the United States
manage to consume a good deal of
beer, but they are yet a long way be-
hind those of England and Germany.
There are over sixty breweries in Mis-
souri,, with capital invested in them
of nearly $6,000,000. They give EN-.
ployment to 2,l00 persons, and indi-
rectly to probably three times that
number. But this is hardly worth
considering when compared with the
brewing industry of some European
countr' e.. According to some Stats
tical tables which have been prepared
in Vienna Great Britain has more
breweries and produces more beer than
any country in the world, Germany not
excepted. The figures are: England,
26,l14 breweries, with an annual pro-
ductiOn of over one thousand million
gallons; Germany, 23,940 breweries,
producing eight hundred million gal
Ions. After Great Britain and Ger
many comes this country. We are
credited altogether with 1928 brewer
les, and production of three hundred
million gallons, or six gallons a year
for every man, woman and child in the
country. France has 2,100 establish
ments of this character; Belgium $500;
Austria Hungary, 2,297; Holland $50;
Russia, $50; Norway and Switzerland,
400 each. Denmark and Sweden have
each 240. This gives a total of g.
544 breweries in Europe and the United
States. These are disheartening figures
fol the temperance and prohibition
people, but they will serve to show
them how much reform work there is
to be accomplished in the world.

Oyster-SheIIs and Bones

Have their uses in the economy of
fowl feed. These should both be
crushed or granulated, to be fed to the
best advantage. In the vicinity of
any of our cities or large towns, both
ground bone and oyster-shells may be
purchased at small cost; or these ar
ticles can be sent by express or freight
anywhere, and are valuable things to
have on the premises, especially where
fowls are penned up in limited runs.
The shells contain carbonate of lime
which helps to form the shells of eggs.

bones contain considerable portion of
of this limy material and animal mat

The Army of the Cumberland.

Gen. Rosecrans furnishes for publ
cation the following card:
Mr.. Blaine, in his funeral Grafton
before the two houses, said: "When
Gen. Garfield assumed his new duties
he found various troubles already well
developed and seriously affecting the
value and efficiency of. the Army of
the Cumberland" l was the COM
handing general of that army. Gen.
Garfield was nay chief-of-staff. Had
this been a fact, / certainly should
have known it. Gen. Garfield was
bound to tell me Of it. Justice to the
truth of history and to the Army of
the Cumberland requires that l should
declare / never heard Of such state
of things until the statement came
from the lips Of the orator. The dis-
tinguished gentleman has been wholly
misinformed, and the statement above
quoted has no foundation in fact. On
the contrary, it was the general senti-
ment and constant boast of the officers
and men of that army that the Army
of the Cumberland was singularly
united and free from discussions, and,
therefore, no ones genius was required
to heal these discussions. appeal to
them to bear witness to this fact.
A few sentences further ON Mr..
Blaine says: Ellis military duties
closed ON the memorable field of Chick
amauga-a field which, however disas-
trous to the union arms, gave to him
the occasion Of winning imperishable
laurels. He might with justice have
added, as Garfield would have added:
"And to us the key of the south-the
objective point of the campsign-Chat-

A WeII-Shooter's Peril.

"A special dispatch from Bradford
Pa, to the Philadelphia Evening Bulle-
tin. says: A few days since Harvey
McHenry, employed by the Roberts
Torpedo company as a shooter" of oil
wells, set out with fifty quarts of nj
tro-glycerine in his wagon to shoot a
well in Berger Hollow. He had packed
his tifty-one quart cans with unusual
care in specially-constructed wagon.
The road he was obliged to take was
very hilly, and was slippery with ice.
In one place on steep hill, it slanted
so that the horses could not keep the
wagon from sliding from side to side.
and several times it narrowly escaped
violent collision with trees ON the road
side. The efforts of the horses to keep
the wagon on the road finally snapped
the tongue. The wagon ran against
the horses heels. Instantly they plung-
ed forward. The driver lost control
of them. and they ran away down the
hill at breakneck speed. McHenry
held on to the lines, although he knew
that every jump of the horses threat.
ened to explode the nitro-glycerine un-
der his seat. Half way down the hill
he saw that the wagon woulS in all
probability hit tree few feet further
down.
Il knew" says McHenry, 'that
stood very little chance of my life by
jumping from the wagon, but 1 felt
that not bit of me would be left if
stuck to the seat. sprang out among
the rocks and the brush. l was hurt
so badly that / couldn't get up, but /
retained my senses. I knew that
was so close to the tree that 1 would
be torn to pieces when the explosion
occurred. shut my eyes and lived a
year in a second. No explosion came,
and 1 glanced down the road and saw
the wheels of the wagon just touch the
trunk of the tree. 1t had barely passed
the tree when the wagon overturned.
The horses kept on, dragging the wag-
on along, tumbling over and over as it
went. 1 never had known nitro glycer-
inc to Withstand one quarter the Jar
without exploding. The wagon turned
over four times before the horses
reached the bottom of the hill. There
they brought up against a tee and
stopped. Then tainted dead away"
Some oil well drillers found McHenry
by the wayside and carried him home.
He was badly hurt about the legs and
back, but suffers most from nervous
prostratiOn. That the nitro-glycerine
did not explode is the wonder of the
oil region.

Mr.. Peter Cooper has had several

several other boys in tannery, and fell

instead of trying TO help him out of his

merrily at his predicament. Finally q
workman employed in the tannery
heard his piteous cries for assistance.
and came to his relief. Forty years
ago MIR. Cooper was thrown from a
wagon which was attached to a runa

regarded as a wonder. A few years
after he was nearly drowned by the up

Leavenworth Selected,
Santa Fe New Mexican.

Santa Fe New Mexican.
Hereafter the unfOrtunates elected
by jurors to go to the penitentiary will
go to Leavenworth. Attorney General
Breeder, with the approval of the gov
erlor, having made a contract with the
warden of the state prison at that
place for their custody. The contract
stipulates that the prisoners are to be
kept for consideration of twenty
cents per capita per diem. This was
not the lowest bid, but the contract is
in the end probably the cheapest that
could have been made, owing to differ
ence in rates of transportation from
here to Leavenworh and from here to
other available state prisons. For in
stance, the bid of the Iowa peniten-
tiary named fifteen cents per capita
per diem, but it was concluded that
the increased distance more than made
UP for the difference in rates. Gov
ernor Sheldon has written to the sher-
ifs of the various counties to ascertain
the number of prisoners at the differ
ent jailS sentenced to confinement i'm
the penitentiary, and will at an earl
day appoint territorial agent whose
duty it shall be to conduct prisoners to
Leavenworth.
