A Novel Way of Reforming.

Rev. Father Mcmahon, Catholic pastor
at Britt, Ia, has initiated a novel method
of temperance reform. At the close OF
Sunday mornings service the priest
called out the names of about a dozeu
young men and asked them TO stand in
front of the altar. The men so sum.
moned have been noted for thu fast
ways, and especially for excessive in.
diligence in intoxicants. Standing in
the pulpit before them the priest spoke
eloquently on the evils of intemperance
and implored the young men to reform
When the appeal was ended each Oh
took the pledge. The entire congrega'
ton gathered about the young men and
the priest and cordially shook theil
hands.-Christian at Work.

be of the belief that much will de-
pend, in the near future, on what Is
termed the local press. The editors
are nearer the people, usually per
sonally known to most of their read
ers. They join in with them in their
Joys and sympathize with them In
their SORROWS; generally too poor to
be mean and too well known to be
dishonest, at least for any consider
able time. They are eye-witnesses
TO the daily surroundings of the great
industrial, wealth-producing classes
and when they fully realize the power
they have in their hands to WELD
and have the courage to WELD 1t, the
classes which haye fastened them
selves upon the people will be cor
rected.

A system of moistening the air of a
cotton factory-as is required in some
departments of a mill before blowing il
into tine rooIns-has been the subject of
much experiment. 1t has been found
that, If a jet of steam or vapor is DIS
Charged into the main duct any degree
Of humidity desired can be obtained, but
all the air is moistened alike, being dis
tributed to the different rooms by the
risers leading thereto. That, however.
which is best adapted for one depart
ment in cotton mill may not prove
equally favorable for another.
Then, too, the introduction of moist
ure at this point may work disastrously
to the walls Of the ducts and risers. It
is now found that this objection may he
overcome at small expense, by carry
ing steam pipe down through each
room and putting opposite each opening
in the fiue, through which the air enters
the room, an outlet with valves for regu-
lating the how Of the steam. In this
way the exhaust steam from the engine
which drives the blower flows into the
room, and being caught up by the cur
rent OF air passing from the Aue is thus
distributed throughout the room. Ex-
pefience with this plan through cold
weather has proved its peculiar value

A farmer in Central Illinois tried
the experiment of using wheat instead
of corn to fatten hogs, with the result
that he realized 81 per bushel for his
wheat thus translated into pork. 1t
has been tried by North Dakota farm
ers with the same satisfactory result.
They sold their hogs at a price which
realized them over 81 per bushel Tor
wheat which had been condensed in a
more salable article. 1t is said that
the quality of the pork thus produced
Is superior TO that Of the corn fed ami
mails. II the farmers of Kansas shall
act upon this suggestion and instead
of turning their wheat into elevators
turn it into hogs, they will have found
way TO beat the supposed wheat
combine more cffec,ually than any
other that can be contrived, and the
path thus opened may lead to the pro-
ductiou of new brand Of American
pork from the wheat-fed hogs of Kan

Women of Kansas.

The school election takes place on
the last Thursday in July. Have YOU
thought about il? The election OF
competent school officers is certainly
an important matter, and ought TO "n-
gage the attention of every good cili-
ecu.
This year the fact of the pending
amendment gives the vote of the
women in the school election a greater
significance. If woman voters neglect
TO use this degree of the suffrage they
will give weight TO the charge that
women do moi appreciate the franchise
aud do not desire ii and thus they will
themselves injure the chances of the
adoption of the pending woman SUI
frase amendment. Everybody who
wants Kansas women admitted to full
citizenship waits anxiously to hear
that the women in your school district
have attended the school meeting in
large numbers. Speak to your neigh
bors at once about the mater and urge
them to take it in hand.

About noon Thursday the striking
miners went 10 the Clemmens strip

tempted 10 persuade the strip pit
W orkmen to quit work. The strip pit
workmen refused TO quit work aud
the strikers forced an entrance into
the grounds and u battle began with
clubs and pistols. About 100 shots
were fired. Two men were slightly
wounded, boy shot IN the foot and
one French woman received n slight
flesh wound Ia the arm. The strip pit
workers were defeated and ran out Of
the grounds.

expect to put men 10 work in The near
future are fast approaching compile
ton and when they are flushed the
shafts will present the appearance OF

fences in all directions have been
posted with small pine boards on

ing the slockades, many sinking post
holes aud others mailing on boards.
The fence is built out Of lumber that
has been used before. 1t will enclose
twelve acres OF ground, giving plenty
of room for people to live in il they SO
desire when al work, as well as form
ing Il guard line around the shaft.
About 200 yards have already been
completed aud 800 yards OF posts are
up ready for fencing. Some Of the
miners when asked about the fence,
said it would prevent them from do.
ing anything ut that shaft, but that
they would prevent any coal being
shipped whenever possible. Some
who had hesitated about going to
work in the strip pits would be likely
to 90 inside the stocSade and live in
there and work where il would be i'm.
