FARMERS OWN FLOUR.
Unique Cornerstone Laying In the Golde

Unique Cornerstone Laying in the Golden
State.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-The first
Touring mill to be erected in the United
States by the Farmers Alliance is now
in course of construction at San Miguel,
Cal. The cornerstone of the structure
has just been laid with appropriate cere-
ponies by lodges of the Farmers AL
lance and Industrial union. The exer-
cises were in the nature of a grand
jubilee. Many farmers and ranchers
were in attendance from surrounding
counties. Mayor Sanderson, of San
Francisco, delivered an Grafton.
Speaking of the mill enterprise, he
said it would illustrate the statement
that God helps those who help them
selves and that he was glad to see the
yeomanry of our land cooperate for
their mutual welfare and self protection
The country is the proper place for the
mills. 1t is not reasonable that you
should pay freight both ways to the
cities on -four raised in your own fields.
Mayor Sanderson further advised the
farmers sons to stay at home and marry
some farmers rosy-cheeked daughter,
and not fret for the life of the cities.
The worst slave is the merchant or poll
tician. While the independent man is
the farmer. Work upon the new AL
lance mill will be pushed as rapidly as
possible, and it is expected to commence
turning out Farmers Alliance flour by

NATURAL GAS FAILING.
The Meter System to BE Adopted In the
indianapolis Field.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 26.-Further dis
closures are made as to the diminution
of the supply of natural gas in the Indi-
ana field. The present supply for the
city of indianapolis is obtained from an
almost completely new set of wells, and
it is necessary to continually open new
ones. Experience has proved, according
to the published figures, that the average
life of well where drawn upon con-
stantly is about three years, and of some
the time is shorter. In the beginning
the supply was obtained at point in the
field twenty miles distant from Indian
apolis. Now it is necessary to bring the
gas distance of nearly forty miles, and
the wells are now within a few miles of
the heart of the field. The purpose in
disclosing these facts is to enforce
economy in the use of the fuel and to
secure the Inauguration of the meter
system instead of permitting consumers
to burn all the gas they want for q fixed
yearly charge. There is great waste in
the manufactures.

parts of human beings, all in very de-

Monday night some unknown philan-
thropist had placed at the disposal Of
the entire night force, officers and all, a
plentiful supply of coffee, cakes, sand
wiches, tobacco and cigars, so that with

at work with will.
AT 3:40 the body of man was found
terribly mangled lying in the shadow of
a huge printing dress. By this time the
stencil was almost unbearable.
The pitiful scenes around the ruins
continued all day, and at the morgue
heartrending sights were witnessed as
