HOW OLD OAK Is MADE.
The Process by Which Green Material Is
Made to Look Aged.

The Process by Which Green Material Is
Made to Look Aged.
You will have to go a long way be-
fore you find body of men more
well, clever = than those cabinet
makers who produce goods to satisfy
the desire of the public for furniture
made OF old and fancy woods. They
can, says Waverly Magazine. trans
form white wood into all kinds of ex-
otic woods by means of chemicals, and
a chemist would be surprised if he
were to have the run of one of those
factories for day.
The manufacture of ''old" oak is one
of their easiest processes. The boards,
holdings, panels or whatever pieces
are required are made of oak which
has just had time to dry sufficiently to
prevent excessive warping.
They are then placed in a dark room.
on the floor of which, and quite close
to the furniture to be aged" are
placed several bowls, plates, and so
forth, of liquid ammonia; the room is
len hermetically closed up and the
wood is left for a month or two, ac-
cording to the age which is required.
The coloration will extend to a depth
of nearly quarter of an inch if the
room is kept closed for a few months.
That is why there is SO much old oak
furniture about. OF course, a little re-
Election would show that it could not
be genuine-the forests of the middle
ages would not have furnished one
half of it; but people do not always re-
feet.

The getting it down is bad enough with
the ordinary pill. But the having it
down is worse. And, after all the dis
turbance, there's only little tenn porary
good.
From beginning to end, DIR. Pierce's
Pellets are better. They're the smallest
and easiest to take-tiny, sugar-coated
granules that any child is ready for.
Then they do their work so easily and
naturally that it lasts. They absolutely
and permanently cure constipation, in
digestion, bilious attacks, sick and bill
lious headaches, and all arrangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels. They
are guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
your money is returned.
The makers OF DR., Sage's Catarrh
Remedy say: ssIf we can't cure your
Catarrh, no matter what your case is,
we'll pay you 5000 in cash." Now you
can see what is said of other remedies
and decide which is most likely to cure
you. Costs only 90 cents.

MITCHELL NEWS.
Many Have La Grippe--The Literary
and Dramatic Society.

The 9TH and 9th snow fell to the depth
of three inches.
January I'd the mercury fell within
four degrees of zero.
The grippe has many in close confne-
ment. Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Allen and
Mr.. and Mrs. A. J.. Shrum have been
quite i'll, also Mrs. DIR. Hauck looks a
little pale and thin from an attack that
lasted a week or more. Many others
are less seriously afflicted.
The measles in a light form is still
affecting few.
1 find in the Grant County News that
Fox Valleys quartz mill is running
twenty four hours per day with good
success, also another ledge has been
gold or silver bearing. We hope it is
gold. We have but little need for silver.
The Mitchell Literary and Dramatic
Society gave an entertainment, Jan. 1st,
at Misner's hall at lower town. The
program was nicely executed, all sus-
tanning their respective parts very ably.
Opening song by Max Pritz, Fred Hoyt,

ton, Robert Wilson; reading, "All

companied by Miss Boardman; dialogue,

Wheeler, Mrs. McEcern, Sella Board
man and Mig Magee; select reading,
Mrs. McEcern; pantomime, 'sA Wife
Wanted" splendid. Other recitations,
readings and songs of interest filled up
the time from to II o'clock. Although
the manager was forced to be absent
the appointed manager did his part well,
but must say of the people, certainly
of this country and town, might show
better breeding than they did there.
We have some very nice, quiet people
and some are extremely rude and such
should be dealt with as they deserve and
it would be we'll if our town authorities
would care for the noisy ones at our
next entertainment, which I hope will
be soon. E. v. E.

MATTERS ARE UNCHANGED IN RIO.
Government Troops Are Advancing
on Bage in Rio Grande do Sui
to Raise the Siege.

Rio JANEIRo, Jan. 4 4-There is no
important change in the situation
here. Rumors have reached this city
that the towHo of Bage, in the state of
Rio Grande do Sui, which has been be-
sieged by the insurgents for about a
month had finally capitulated, but
these rumors are not confirmed by of.
fetal dispatches received here.
Orders have been issued by the min
lister Of war for force to proceed at
once to the relief of the town. Actiug
under these orders. General Hysolite,
commanding column of 1900 men
today left Livrsmento for Bage. Al
about the same time General Sampavc
with 5000 men left Cerra Chato, his
destination also being Bage. This
force, it is thought, will bs more than
strong enough to raise the siege.
Bage is an important place. and the
government dispatches a strong ferc'
there in order to guard against any
possibility of its falling into the hands
of the insurgents.

Wilson Bill.

Wilson Bill.
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The North
American Review publishes u paper by
sx-Speaker Reed on the Wilson tariff
bill, from which the following is an
extract:
NOW that the bill is before US, what is
to be said of it? Clearly it is not a bill for
revenue only, since it reduces the revenue
of the country probably S75, 000 900, so far
rs the usual treasury calculations can furn-
ish us any aid in determining what the
loss will be. II there be any gain to be an
ticipated to be set off against this loss it
cannot come from increased importations,
which will just So much diminish Amer-
can production and be so much taken away
from American labor.
The bill cannot claim the merit, il there
be any, of free trade except such as comes
to 1t from having selected and cut Of from
protection many industries which were at
least as deserving rs those which are to
survive. In its struggle 10 put raw ma
terlals on the free list, this bill, devised in
the main by southern men, has 80 stricken
the undevolOped region Of this country
that the south is more likely than any
other part of US to pre-eminently suffer by
their efforts.
"The bill cannot claim any merit as a
fulflment of the platform of the Demo-
cratic party since that platform deuounc-
ed protection as robbery; and If protec-
tion be robbery, then this bill is robbery on
a sliding scale. In one instance, at least,
tire bill involves more unbIushing misuse
of public funds than was ever charged
upon its predecessors, even in those i'm
passioned harangues over the horrors o
taxed trace, chains which illuminated my
earlier days in cOngress.n
