Revolution in Flour Milling.

There has been great revolution in the
process of flour milling in recent years. Flour
was formerly made by simply grinding wheat
at one operation to the finest possible flour,
and then separating by sleeves the -four from
the bran, necessarily grinding in much of the
bran with flour md discoloring it, where
much of the very best material was separated
with the bran and lost. The later common
method is to grind very coarsely the wheat
several times, using strong blasts of air be-
tween each grinding to separate the bran from
the granulated inferior portion, and at last
crush it to -four, relieved of all the bran.
The new electric method consists in passing
the middlings under revolving hard rubber
cylinders, electrified by contact with sheep
skin. The particles of bran fly up to meet
the rubber from which they are turned off in
a side channel, the purified middling, freed
from bran, passing through rollers to become
fine -four.
The whole of the French coast is to be
lighted by electricity. AS early as 1875 the
electric ight was employed in the lighthouses
near IIavre. The new light will be placed in
az lighthouses, with steam trumpets for fog
signals, at first cost of EI,5oo.ooo, and an
annual expenditure Of 10000 for maintain
ing the same.

sHEET-IRON THUNDER.

That unspeakable fraud, John I.
Davenport, of New York city, who
has committed frauds enough against
an honest ballot in that city to entitle
him to life sentence in the peniten-
tiary, has prepared a campaign docu-
ment which, it is said, implicates w.
I'll. Barnum, chairman of the National
Democratic committee, as one Of the
chief consplrators in the Morey letter
forgery. The New York Sun says:
"John Davenport has been busy many
months in preparing campaign docu-
ment on the Morey letter fraud and
Republicans have decided to use the
material and try aid offset with it the
fraud at Saratoga, and its disastrous
effect on the Republican vote. Daven-
port obtained contributions Of about
s25,O00 from leading Republicans to
defray the cost of his campaign docu-
ment"
After this important testimony has
been suppressed for two years, the Re
publicans of New York must be in des-
perate straits when they deem it a good
investment to pay $4,000 for such
trash ss this.

e:, Scottsburg and Gardiner, assembled
at the hall of Reid d Nelson, at Gardi-

in social dance until eleven o'clock,

The new three-masted schooner Lau-
IA Madsen, built at the Gardiner ship
yard, by d. j. Holder Esq, and owned
by Captain J. Madsen and others, was
successfully launched here on Saturday
noon. She is credit to the place in
regard to the quality of the timber of
which she is built, and to the builders
in regard to the manner and skill of
the workmanship ON her. Her dimen-
sions are: Length of keel, ia feet;
breadth of beam, 38 feet; depth of hold,
10 feet; her carrying capacity is about
10000 feet of lumber; her masts are
S4 feet long. She is wire-rigged and

Of hoisting anchors, ballast, ETC., and
two steam pumps, to be used in emer-
gencies. She is copper and compost

BuRGLARY.-Last Sunday night
some person or persons effected an en-
trance at the rear end of Floed l. Cos.
store, by prying off the shutter and
carefully displacing the crockery on
the shelves, which admitted them into
the small room at the rear Of the store,
and having provided themselves with
brace and bit, bored piece out of
the door of the main store room suffi-
cient to enable them to insert a hand
and turn the key, which had been left
in the lock on the inside. They then
went through che clothing in rough
style. Having removed a large num-
Der of suits to the small room in the
rear, they made such selections as tEey
wanted. The exact amount Of goo1s
taken has not been aseertained. 1t is
to be hoped that the culprits may be
overtaken and receive the punishment
which their acts merit.

"WAY OFF. The Plaindealer, with
the above side head, reproduces state
ment made in the INDEPENDENT con-
cerning the conduct of a conductor on
the railroad south Of here, who discrim-
mates in favor of the Chinese as against
the white race and collects different
fares from different persons for the
same distance. The Plaindealer, as
usual, without taking the pains to in
vestigate the facts in regard to the mat
ter, thinking it was the railroad that
was charged, rushes blindly into the
breach, accuses us of being 'sof'' in the
matter and brazenly asserts that the
spirit of our item was at variance with
the facts. 1t assumes to state that the
''lady bought a ticket for billiards..
When she got there she recollected
that if she had stopped back mile or
so, she would have been nearer home.
Just that and nothing more" Now,
had the editor of the Plaindealer, who
is responsible for the above attack upon
our item, which was but a mild eriti-
cism upon the action of the conductor,
taken the pains to investigate, he
would have learned that no tickets are
sold to the point in question, and that
our article was but true and unvar
nished statement of the facts as they
transpired. We know that be has
since been made acquainted with the
truth of our statement, By evidence
which no honest man can dispute.
Now if he should act as an honorable
journalist, he will correct the error
and acknowledge his mistake. II he
declines to do so, he will not only have
tog before the country as an apollo
gist for the monopoly, but willful
falsifer Of the truth.

FATAL ACCIDENT Yreka dispatch
Of the 9th says: P. F. McManus,
mail carrier between Yreka and Plevna,
on the Oregon and Linkville road, was
found dead this morning near Shovel
creek, Klamath river. The axle of
the wagon broke on the outside of the
grado, throwing the wagon off and upon
McManus, rolling over twice. The ac-
cident is supposed to have occurred
soon after dark last night, by the lamps
having been lit before the moon came
up. Examination of the body after
being brought here showed that he
died suddenly, as the neck and shoul-
der were disIocated, besides receiving
other fatal injuries. One horse was
also killed. Deceased failed to reach
Shovel creek on his way to Yreka last
night, and search was instituted with
the above result. He was formerly
prominent merchant here and leaves
wife and three children. Mr.. McMa-
nus was formerly resident of Jack
son county, where he resided at the
time of his marriage with Miss Har-
grove of Corvallis, in 1858.

tend all teachers Institutes held under
authority of law in the ccun les where

be required to attend more than one
institute in their county In each year.
For non.attendance of any teacher at

them afterwards to make up the time
SO spent"
The foregoing law should be strictly

visions are calculated to subserve the
