Prohibition straw.


EDITOR TINES:
l believe II has not before been
noted In public print that there is
a prohibition district in SuuhOwer
county. Sulh is the fact, aud the
ffth district is the one. 1t is also
worthy OF note that at the term Of
Sunfower Court preceding tue
last, before prohibition had been
established, that district furnished
the largest amount of work for
the grand jury. At the last term
this position was reversed, and
district five furnished the mini
mum, almost none indeed.
l am not a prohibition:s', but
consider the fact worth noting. So
do the people of district three,
the Indianola district, where an
effort Is now being made to abol.
ish liquor selling.

Circuit Court-Some Of It's Work

We have procured the following
list of criminals and crimes from
the Jail records. 1t will furnish
q partial idea of the holiday picnic
at which we have invited Judge
Chrisman to otficiate. The list is
not complete. there being some
offenders at the prison farm, guilty
of less crimes than homicide,
which we did not obtain. Still
the muster is reasonably strong
and the grand jury is yet to hear
from; and there are some killers
not yet apprehended and it is
yet a month until Court.
The only mitigation that occurs
to US of this murderous, larceni-
ous, burglarious showing, is that
owing to the de facto vacancy of
our Circuit Jndgeship, there has
been no court since last march. :

Compressed Coal.

Some interesting particulars are given
by NJ. Escalle, director of the import
ant works at Tamaris, in regard to the
employment of blocks of compressed
coal. in lieu of coke, for blast furnaces.
With the ores of the country. which
are argilo-silicious and small, the guam
tity of compressed fuel employed is
twenty per cent, but with those of
Motka or Pilhais it reaches regularly
thirty per cent. 1t has been found that
by the use of these blocks a much
higher temperature of bot blast is OBJ
tanned. and that the proportion of COM
bustible consumed coke ard COM
pressed fuel includcd-rcr ton Of pig
iron produced is less than with coke
alone. NJ Escalle attributes this re-
suit to the quantity of water, one and
One-half per cent. contained in the
compressed coal blocks used by him,
as well as to the nature of the volatile
matters. The volume Of gas obtained
per ton of the compressed fuel, at these
works, was about seven thousand feet.
