THE SALAMANDER.
The Management Enlarging the
Force and Building Ex-
tensive1y.

On visiting the Salamander
Stove-Lining and Fire Brick Co.'s
works this morning, a representa-
tive of the LEDGER was very much
surprised to find such large in
dustry growing up in our midst.
The main building is now S0x100
feet in dimensions, part of which
Is two stories in height. Besides
this, there are other smaller build
ings and sheds. The two story
frame building containing the offices
and other departments, is about
3Ox40 feet. At present there are
three large kilns, mining shaft, a
refner, a crusher and large stack
built of the fire brick. More land
has been purchased and the erec-
ton of three more large kilns and
another stack rs feet in height has
been begun. A second shaft is also
being sunk. A G. & A. switch is
in process of construction to be
several hundred feet in length, ex-
tending on heavy trestle two
hundred feet long over the large
pond just south of the WORKS.
Before the winter is over, twenty
car loads of stove Innings and fire
brick will be shipped weekly from
this switch to points all over the
north and west. At the present
time about fifty men are employed
at wages ranging from $3.50 to
81 90 per day, which force will be
doubled before many weeks
From ten to twelve car loads ot
the company's wares are being
shipped every week.

We publish to-day the first of a
series Of advertisements of one of
the largest advertising houses of
the country, under yearly contract,

this one is the initial display, will
wear an old, familiar face to large
majority of our readers. Those
not familiar with such kindly an
nouncements, may be considered
as belonging to the uninitiated who
in due time, for their own future
welfare, will become acquainted
with the merits of SO good a thing,
SO universally known. Annually,
with system like the rising and
setting of the sun, these greetings,
which bear health and happiness
to the people, make their show.
It is a good sign of the standing
and influence of a paper-if we
may say SOTO have its columns
graced by the attractions of such
reliable matter, and to have deal
ing with a house of such a charac-
ter. With the newspaper fraterni-
ty such transactions are known to
be always attended by fairness,
promptness and unfailing integrity
on the part of the proprietors to,
wards the publishers. Nor do the
mutual relations between the two
end with these considerations. II

The Race at Vandalla.

The ''horse reporter" of the
LEDGER went down to Vandalia
Saturday and acted as one of the
judges and timer in the match trot-
ting race for $50 a side and gate
money, between Dan Backman, a
brown stallion owned at Bowling
Green, and Gold Dust Prince, a
little bay stallion, which belongs at
Clear Lake, Iowa. The race was
three best in five and was won
hands down by Dan Backman,
trained and driven by Ike Reyner-
son.
Summary:
Dan Backman... / l
Gold Dust Prince. ....1 2 2 DIR
Time-2:3S 3-4, 2:37 3-4, 2:39.
After the third heat the driver of
Gold Dust Prince saw it was no
use to punish his horse and refused
to let him 60 another heat. The
other judges were 6. B. Gray and
VIII Jamison. Dan Backman is a
green horse without a mark against
him and has been driven a trial
mile in less than 80. He is a
great little horse and next year it is
predicted he will get a low record.
No time was called at Vandalia.
The mule race was won by Jim
Culbertson with Steve Ely's old
mule, which knows a race track as
we'll as the best trained thorough
bred horse in the country. There
was a larger crowd outside the
hedge fence that surrounds the
track than on the inside. The
directors of the Vandalia Driving
Association are contemplating put
ting magnifying glasses in the
hedge fence in order that outsiders
may get better view of the track.
Messrs. Nesbitt and Judy, mule
buyers, of Bloomington, ILL.,, ar
rived at Jefferson City Friday and
put up at hotel. After supper
they happened to be in saloon,
| and one of them found five dollar
bill on the floor, which he pocketed.
| After midnight some Jealous Off
GERS rudely awakened the gentle
men and put them in the lookup.
Some drafts, 81, SEQ, and letter of
credit were taken from them and
| they were not allowed to give bail.
They were tried for theft before a
jury; it hung. They got another
jury and were acquitted. They
say they will bring suit against the
city for SO, 900 apiece.
| George R. johnson, of this city
bought some horses at Moberly and
