The Money Making Scheme Of RemaFh

my factory l constructed 1-story
circular building, some 60 feet in di

glass pipe inches in diameter.
The first coil ran around the out
side OF the room. the coils gradually
growing smaller till the last, in the
center, was no larger than this table.
It gave me something like mile of

were lined with rather stiff hair.
brushes, the bristles being a little
more than an inch in length.
At that time Milwaukee was over
run with cats. 1t was impossible to
sleep nights. I put a notice in the
paper that would pay 10 cents a
dozen for prime cats delivered at my
factory. ] got 60 dozen the first dav

the power house. The motor op-

Placing in the outer end of the
glass pipe an imitation rat made of
rubber and propelled by a small in

adjust q cat Immediately behind it.
The rubber rat would start of at al
terrific rate-it was made to go|
through the mile Of tubing in from
two to three minutes-and the cat
Of course followed furiously, think

throughout the entire distance.
Gentlemen, it was exciting to watch
a healthy, active cat whip about
those spirals, with the mechanical
rat about foot ahead and going
like q cannon ball. The cats back
and sides rubbed against the brushes.

by interested parties, with Interior
motives and with a full knowledge Of
the fact that no diamonds were ever
found in the formation which com

SOME one has figured out from
classical illusions that in the time of
Homer il required the labor of one
person to grind the flour to feed six
teen. The work OF one man in a
merchant flour mill running contin-
ually will certainly suffice to feed
5000 people. Edward Atkinson has
shown that under the Improvements
in railway transportation and the
consequent cheapening of rates, the
labor of one man for one day is now
sufficient, on the average to move a
barrel of flour a thousand miles.

Gratis, he will be relieved of the visits
of thosc delegations.
The Governors private secretary
was kept busy all day writing the
letters of request for designations.
As soon as the Governor has manned
tie various boards with Democrats
he will ask them to do their duty in
the party sense that is to I'll all the
subordinate Offices with Democrats
and TO turn the Republicans out.
Mr. Altgeld is Il civil service re-
former in theory. He is Jack
sonian Democrat of the most eX-
treme spoils school in practice. He
intends to get the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners started
first. He will next turn his atten-
ti0n to the Grain Inspectors Office.
The Republicans now employed there
had better be looking for new winter
quarters. The same advice can be
rendered TO secretaries and other
employees of the Chicago West and
Lincoln Park Boards. The AK is
being sharpened for their Official
heads.
APPOINTMENTS MAY BE MADE NEXT
WEEK.
"Gov. Altgeld is still confined to
the house, but is recovering from his
indisposition and expects to be at
the Capitol tomorrow or next day.
1t is understood that he will make a
great number of appointments the
latter part of the week.
James j. Townsend, of the Elev-
enth Ward, will, it is said, certainly
be appointed one Of the West Park
Commissioners. j. j. Bloch, a Ger
man living in the Fourteenth Ward,
and frequent Aldermanic candidate,
is believed to have been selected for
another Commissionership, Town
send is indorsed by about all the
Democratic Senators from the West
Division, but Bloch has no Senate
rial influence at his disposal His
appointment is asked, not by poll
ticians, but by the Germans as a ma
tionality and through their political
associations. Bloch's chances are ex-
ceedingly good. Gov. Altgeld knows
him and likes him.
THE third Commissioner will prob
ably be Henry McGurren, who was for
a number Of years chief clerk in the
Office of the County Clerk of Cook
County under NJ. w. Ryan. He and
Judge Altgeld are warm personal
friends, and have been such for a
number of years. During the Sena-
torial election OF two years ago Nc
Gurren was in Springfield with a
weather eye out for Altgeld's chances.

General Political Gossip,

No Lack Of Candidates for
Coming Municipal
Plums.

The well-posted correspondent of
the Tribune telegraphs his paper as
follows:
Every Republican officer Of inn
portance in Illinois who owes his ap-
pontment to Joseph w. Fifer or his
Republican predecessor has been or
will be asked to resign in order, as
the epstles addressed to them by See
rotary Dose explain, that Governor
Altgeld may be able to carry out the
policy which he advocated before the
election. and which he has since de-
clared through his inaugural message.
The request for the resignation Of
the Penitentiary Commissioners, Of
which that addressed to 5. II. Jones,
of Springfield, is specimen, was only
the first batch. Another large batch
Of demands for designations was sent
out to-day Those epistles will be in
the hands of some of the officers to-
morrow morning. But If any ap-
pointees of Governor Fifer or Cover
nor Oglesby who still hold Office have
not yet received those missives they
need not build any hope on that neg
ative fact. All will have to go.
"The West Park Republican Com
missioners are to be included in the
slaughter. Some Of them will prob
ably receive requests for their resig-
nations from Gov. Altgeld tomorrow.
c. X. G. Billings will probably be the
only member of the West Park Board
that can be spared. The Canal Com
miSSioners, the Warehouse Commits
sioners, Insane Asylum Trustees, and
charitable institution trustees, Secre-
taries, Superintendents, etc, will be
invited to step down and out. Gov.
