contents of the pots are left to the silent
action of chemical laws. The tan gener-
ates heat, makes an oxide of the lead, and
yaporizes the acid, and with the carbonic
acid formed in decomposition of the tan,
gradually reduces the metal to beautiful
snow-white substance. The result is only
obtained after an interval of ten TO four
teen weeks, when the beds are opened and
the buckles found transformed into car
Donate of lead.
From the beds it is taken to long, revolv-
ing screens, through the neshes of which
it falls into bins prepared for its reception,
and any uncorroded particles of metal are
separated and returned to the melting
cauldrons The pots, upon being taken
out, contain no acid and the lead has in
creased considerably in bulk and weight.
The lead, after having passed through the
separating screens, is first thoroughly
washed, to deprive it of any free acid,
stain or impurities, and is then ground in
water, between heavy burr-stone mills,
into pulpy mass; this is then gathered
and pumped upon drying pans in the kiln
house. Deprived by this means of
its water the product becomes
the dry white lead of commerce.
The adulteration of pigments and vehicles
for paint is carried on to a great extent by
dealers, and great care should
be taken to purchase only from reliable
which if not a certainty
against adulteration, will at least lessen
the chances of imposition. White lead
may be adulterated with barytes, the bane
of all paints-or it may be rotted in a few
hours by the use of acids which viii cause

THELIsr OF NAMES.

The jury commissioners completed their
work selecting names to put in the jury
box. The total number Of names in the
jury box are $50 The commissioners,

White, had something less than a picnic
doing the work. The law on The question
has something TO say on the matter Of men
seeking TO have their names in the box
Should any one ask that his name be
placed in the box the commissioners are TO

Quite a number seemed anxious to get a
chance in the drawing and would blubber
over. and hence got seriously left. But the
old time, hard bench, professional jury
man was around about, but his long pTac-
tice in jury politics had afforded him an
opportunity To know just what he was
about, so ne would never intimate any
thing that would in any way iBiure his
chances. He hoped to get in the box, or
at least his name in, but that was By no
means his last chance He could stand
back on the old code Of practice and slip in
on special occasions. Iu this way he was
quite sure 10 get his work il aud chances

paints are just what they are represented
to be.
The full capacity of the plant is five
hundred gallons per day, using about five
barrels OF linseed oil and about six thous-
and pounds of raw material, employing
from six to eight men in the works and
two or three girls in the labelling depart
ment.
The plant is run by steam using twenty
horse power engine. In the manufacture

mills for mixing and grinding the raw
material and putting it into cans ready
for the market.

esting to those who have never studied

used in Identifying and making their
homes attractive The raw material is
bought from eastern dealers and shipped
to Wichita in barrel lots.
After the superintendent of the mixing
department has decided what color he in
tends running for the day, the necessary
number of pounds of each pigment in Il
raw state IS placed into the mixing

As soon as the mixture has been reduced
to the proper consistency. the gates of the
mixers are opened and the paint gradually
runs into the hoppers of the grinding
mills, from which it runs into the buckets
which are carefully sealed, labeled and
placed in the shipping room. The com

viii get the EAGLE into row we very
much fear The trouble is coming from
the lately enfranchised sex. Judging
from some of the bile doux fired into this
sanctum some of the fairest ladies Of the
fair viii sink all their prejudices against
female suffrage and march in body to the
polls for the purpose OF downing the adj
ministration that dares TO net and drown
their pet dogs. This Is to say that the
EAGLE Is not the organ Of the city council
nor Of their dog catcher. One woman
writes us from Central avenue pleading
for repeal of the dog law altogether and

away with her Fido. Burn the dog

of the official who snares Unsuspecting
and innocent dogs How does that sound
AR Mayor and city council? You gentle
men have been abused so much of late
and deservedly enough-that it may
fail 10 move you, but we stand
here TO deny any sympathy with
the law and declare that for one we are
frightened Everybody knows that there
IS an estimated surplus OF about five
thousand worthless ours in the city, but the
dog catcher who can't discern at a glance
between the dog that's loved 10y some
woman and the worthless lop-eared hound
that belongs to some coarse, i'll grained
brute of man, had better resign, or we
can't read straight between the delicate
lines of the letters indited by the fair
hands of our correspondents. We confess
that we are not only frightened but non
plussed. The only way we can see 10 effect.
ually beat the law and the dog catcher not
only, but to silence the city council also,
is TO put brass tag on your dogs neck.
These tags are very pretty and ineXpen-

THOUGHT SHE COULD DRIVE.

A little 4-year-old miss, daughter of Mr.
Taylor, living on the corner of Cherry and
Garden streets, in the north part of the
city. conceived the idea yesterday that she
could drive a pair of horses without assist
ance. Unperceived she managed to get
into the buggy, and gathering up the reins
applied the whip. The team started off
like flash, pursued by the terrified father.
Fortunately the team was family team
and, although unused TO the whip, knew
their masters voice, who called on them to
whoa. With that instinct peculiar to
high-bred animals they slackened their
pace at the voice of command and were
overtaken on foot, although the little one
kept applying the whip as furiously as She
could. The horses have naturally gone up
in the estimation of the owner, but the lit
tie one thinks they are not much account
since her father could catch them.

THE STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

Some of the property owners on Fourth
avenue were circulating remonstrances
yesterday against paving the avenue from
Douglas to Oak, according TO resolution
passed by the council at its last meeting.
They are quite earnest in their assertions
that the avenue does not need pavement as
yet and improvements in that line where
not needed entirely out of order The
same sort of a movement has been started
on Waco avenue, which is regarded by
some as showing a disposition to call
halt for a short time.
The track of the old City railway, being
removed on South Market street, leaves
sort of an aching void near the center.
According to the railway people they do
not feel disposed to pave the space
set apart for the track and
think that work should be done by the
property owners. The same state of af-
fairs likely to come up in few days on
North Market The track viii be removed
and the street not paved complete. The
railway people not to use the street do not
estimate they will be held 70 pave the
space formerly occupied by the track and
the city as "a whole or property owners to
allow another paving assessment or the
improvement left unfinished. One of the
Market street property owners yesterday
stated that he had no objection to sus-
pending operation Of railway. The change
in mis- Judgment would prove beneficial to
the street even if the property owners were
forced to put up for the total improve
ment.
The members of the firm of Mulvane &
Kepley reached the city last evening
and concerning the delay in putting
down curb and gutter on Main street il
time to prevent delay in paving they
allege that the stone was shipped some
days ago and the failure to arrive due 10
the Union Pacific. They claim to regret
very much the fact of being unable to get
stone and say they are doing everything in
their power to get the stone and vacate the
position of being a stumbling block to the
improvements in Wichita They believe
within four or five days some Of the stone
viii arrive when work will be commenced.
Two cars of water pipe arrived last even
ing to be used by the water company on
Douglas avenue in getting ready to pave.
The water company expects TO commence
work next Monday.
