Republican Management.

IL Is not alone IN tnt Wuudkctne"p
OF national affairs that the Republican
party has shown its good judgment
and its care for the peoples interests.
In the affairs Of the state Of Kansas
the same economy and good manage
ment have been manifested and the
showing Of the past year has been
one Of the best ever made by any
party in the States history. The
States chief expense is through the
board Of charities and the manner in
which this board run Is good in
dex Of the character OF the party that
Is at the helm. Last week the board
that went in under the appointment
Of Gov. Morrill, made its report for
the first year Of the administration.
1t covers the period from June ~,
1895, to June 80, 1896.
There has been turned back into
the state treasury from the eight in
situations in charge of this board
$7l,444.50, itemized as follows:
Topeka insane asylum. .sl3glI II
Osawat0mle insane asylum. ........ %,OS ~
Industrial school for girls, Beloit... 1909 o.
Asylum for ldlotic and imbecle
youth, Winfield. .....,,,........," 1,5& 80

Reform school for boys, Topeka. 5,lOS AZ
Soldiers orphans home, AtchIson.. 2,Ti5 80
Deaf and dumb asylum 0lathe.... 1919 ~
In addition, the amount OF stores
on hand at the various institutions is
larger than ever before in their his
tory. The stores are all paid for.
This showing is all the more re-
markable when 1t Is recalled that a
year ago when the present board took
charge Of affairs there were defcien-
cies at almost every institution in the
State and that large sums OF money
had to be paid out Of the appropria-
tions for 1856 to meet these deiicien-
cies. At this, the July meeting, 1896,
not a single bill at any institution
was left unpaid.
The earnings Of the institutions for
the past year have exceeded anything
heretofore in their history.
The charity institutions Of the
State have during the year paid into
the state treasury as follows;

But It Is not the excellent financial
showing made Of which the board has
a right to be proudest 1t is the fact
that during the past year all the
chickering's, internal discussions and
personal squabbles which so marred
and destroyed the efficiency of the in
situations during the two years of
Popuist rule, have been entirely
eliminated.
1t will be recalled that last year the
Populist board exhausted their appro-
priation of $4,000 for boards salary
in the first seven months OF the fiscal
year, leaving the members of the
present board to work from that time
to the first of July, 1896, without pay.
This year the Republican board had
the same appropriation, and, not
withstanding the fact that 1t has had
in addition to the usual duties of the
board in the past the supervision of
all the buildings being erected ex-
cept those at Beoit and Atchison, in
volving an expenditure of about
$75, 900, and which duties have here.
tofore devolved upon the board Of
public works, 1t has made its appro-
priation of $4,000 pay every cent of
per diem and mileage Of the men,
bers.
That is the way that the Republic
cans do the public business. The
State soon had enough Of the Pop
sham reform and it was glad to put
in charge of its affairs the party that
could be trusted. Events have shown
that 1t made no mistake and that it
has good servants. The party and
the administration has good reason
to be proud Of the showing and it
will be the most influential reason
for the reelection of the Republican
ticket. When things are run right it
is mighty bad to change managers
and put in power those who have
been already proved too weak and too
dishonest to conduct public affairs as
they should be conducted.

dian patent, although the inventor is q
New Yorker. 1t is much less complicated
than many others. It has one serious de-
feet, however, in that no means are pro-
vided for keeping the metallic valve in It's
place, and even if a seat was made by a
rim the valve being of metal would pre-
clude its use for liquors. sauces, medicines
or wines.
There is an endless variety of worthless
patents in this particular line, and the
time and money wasted must be some
thing astounding. Still the work goes on,
and glass factory in this City has a
great assortment OF especially designed
bottles made for inventors in the nom
filling hottie line. Inventors, as rule,
speedily develop into oranks. and they are
hard to deal with. Each one asserts that
his is the only bottle that cannot be re-
filled. Arguments to the contrary have no
effect, and only actual demonstration does
convince him that his invention is not
quite perfect. He usually departs in a
huff, as if some mortal wrong had been
done to him.
Now, Notwithstanding the fact that
wholesale quer-dealers do not believe in
the possibility of non-filling bottle,
still j vs-tors keep busy, and, while the

Bottles That You
Cannot Refill

solving of the problem does seem to
be beyond reach. it is yet within the
bounds of possibility that the thing may
yet be invented and made practicable.
For the guidance of such people who
prefer to worry their brains on this subject
in preference to getting up an automatic
cook, or a device to make municipal and
other officials stand by their pledges and
promises, the following few brief rules
! may be useful.
Ii the invention necessitates special
bottle consult a practical glass-blower as
to the practicabiiity OF the design, and
again, If the extra cost reaches couple of
cents over that of an ordinary bottle then
do the work over again and simplify it.
No contrivance of any kind of metal is
suitable. Metal however pure has ten
dency to cloud the liquor and make it
unstable. strip of pure aluminium,
selected for its apparent fitness for such
purposes as valves, etc., in bottle, was
deposited in vial of good rye and at the
end OF month was found to resemble
piece OF sea weed with long streamers.
The coloring matter in the whisky had
settled on the aluminium and the least dis
turbance stirred up cloud of discolor-
ations.
Glass and porcelain are, of course, not
subject to these objections, but the frailty
of the former and the thickness of the
latter are serious draw backs to the use of
either. The flow of the liquor must not
be contracted to any great extent, for
non-filling bottle which only gives forth
its contents in driplets would find no
favor in saloon. Then, again, the size of
cork is an important factor, and it's size
cannot be increased without materially
adding to the cost of the outfit; hence the
cork should remain the usual size. Sim
plicity rather than complication should be
aimed at, for in bottling establishment
the fraction of minute spent in inserting
the valve system adds to the cost of the
operation.
The favorite method by most inventors
in the non-flling bottle line is to use
marble balls, known as commons, f" to act
as valves. They answer the purpose very
well while the bottle is in perpendicular
position, but when inclined or placed up
side down there is no difficulty in refilling
an emptied bottle. 1t may even be filed
while in its normal position by gentle
and rotary shaking.

when empty, would collapse. It found no
favor, however, because of the possibility
OF its bursting while some liquor still re-
mained. Another devised bottle, the
neck of which would break off at line
with the bottom of the cork. Glass, how
ever, is somewhat erratic, and while ac-
cording to theory It should in stipulated
cases break off where thinnest, in practice
it does not always do SO, and the poor bar
keeper would be excused for refusing to
handle such unreliable material. 1t was
not claimed for this bottle thatit was non
fillable, except when it broke anywhere
below the assigned line, in which case
both liquor and bottle went into the slop-
bucket. The idea was to indicate that the
bottle had been opened, but there was
nothing to prevent an enterprising mix
ologist from keeping this same bottle
filed for an indefinite period.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-23

Manufacturers of liquors, wines, sauces
and patent medicines have for years en-
deayored to devise some means of protec-
ton against unscrupulous people who not
alone initiate brands but boldly substi-
tute inferior articles in the original pack
ages. Thus far, however. no satisfactory
non-reflEng bottle has been put on the
market, and the victimized manufacturers
have concluded that such thing as nom
reflling bottle is an impossibility. Many
patents have been taken out with
no other result than a loss of sixty
or more dollars to the inventor,
and still the brain racking work
goes on, having received an impetus
through the alleged offer of whisky firm
of $100000 bonus to the inventor OF bot
tie which once emptied cannot be refilIed.
Hundreds OF people in this City have for
months past tried TO solve the problem,
and every number of the Patent Office
Gazette contains one or more devices for
which claims are made that even cursory
glance proves to be defective. Some OF
these contrivances are interesting because
of their absurdity and none are of any
use.
Accompanying sketches show the idea

air could be let out and the bottle would
eventually fill up.
A curious Canadian contrivance is that
shown in figure 3. It is a special bottle
with swelling and an inside rim at
the junction of the neck and body of the
bottle. A metallic sleeve to which is at
tached trap with spring and tum bling
ball valve is pushed down the neck until
the shutting off valves rest on the raised
glass rim.
The inventor keeps to himself the secret
as to the manner of fastening and working
the spring, and in the design of the bottle,
with its two inside rims. the possibilities
of glass blowing will be severely tried If
put to practical test. This bottle, how
ever, like that previously described, is
doomed to disappoint its inventor, for the
probabilities are that the bottle cannot be
made as designed, the metallic contriv-
ance will not be accepted by any liquor
firm, it is too costly and complicated to
be of commercial value, and, finally, there
is nothing to prevent the withdrawal OF
the sleeve with it's paraphernaiia, put in
Jersey lightning" for Honey dew" and
replace the sleeve. 1t is not non-flling
bottle, and the inventor has no good
claim on the 100000 prize.
A third non-flling bottle is also Cana

of an Eastern inventor of how ne would
prevent a bottle from being refiled. A
specially designed bottle with valve V
closing its mouth, and over this a cap
packed partly with cement, c, and thus
fastened to the bottle, are the main fea-
lures. In the cap or cover are two ports
through which the liquor may be poured,
figure showing the port in circular dotted
lines. The corrugated outline of the cover
is presumably to get grip on the bottle.
Aside from the clumsiness OF the thing,
the cost of making and attaching the cap
to the bottle would be out of proportion
to the value of the service it would rem
der, and, worse than all, it is not non

free ends at the flaps of the envelope.
They do not come out at the ends of the
flap but short distance back on the in
side.
The gum on the envelope is to be mois-
tened the usual way and the flap pressed
partly down. The two free ends of the
cord are then tied in hard knot and the
ends clipped off close. The remaining
portion of the flap is then pressed down
over the knot. Thus sealed it would be
impossible to open the envelope without
in some way destroying part of it, which
would of course cause immediate detec-

To Support Plants.

A device to support growing plants is
the invention of James Horan Of Bridge
port, Conn. 1t consists of a series OF o.
shaped uprights that are each formed
from single piece of iron rod. One end
of the rod forms part to stick into
the ground and hold it in position.
These uprights are held together, at the
proper distance apart, by heavy wire, SO
that they can be placed in rows from one
end of the bed 10 the other.
1t is intended that this device shall be
placed over such plants as peas and beans,
so that the product will be kept off the
ground. The contrivance should certainly
be cheap to manufacture, and there is no
doubt about its labor-saving qualities
when the amount of time that is usually
in procuring brush and cutting
it and placing it in position so that it will
answer the same purpose is considered.
The Horan contrivance would. of course,
do the WORK much better and thereby add
to the quantity of the crop.

trivance is simplicity itself and seems
calculated to do all that he claims for it
and will no doubt find favor with those
who fear their letter will be tampered with.
Lees envelope is exactly the same shape

made in any and all sizes. The novelty
consists in having cord inserted between

DYNAMITE FOR GEN. VEYLER
But il Failed to Affect the Spanish
Commander in Cuba.
A NUMBER OF PERSONS WOUNDED
Train on Which the Captain General
was Supposed to be Travelling Was
Blown Up, But the Commander
Happened to be Elsewhere.

HAVANA, Nov. 2O.-A railroad train was
blown up ON "Wednesday between Puntn
Brava and Caudelaria, in Pinar del Rio.
Captain General Weyler was at Cande-
laria for short time Wednesday, and IL
is believed the authors Of the explosion
supposed the captain general to be on the
train which was blown up, but he had
left Candelaria several hours before the
explosion The damage to the train was
occasioned by the simultaneous explosion
of three dynamite bombs, and was ac-
companied by terrific detonatiOn. The
engine and several cars were derailcd and
n tremendous column of smoke and dust
was raised.
Immediately upon the explosion Of the
bombs there were several discharges of
rifle shots. The engineer fireman and
conductor of the train, six soldiers and
several passengers were wounded. The
wounded passengers were placed on re-
lief train and taken back TO Candelaria.
The train for San Crstobal stopped over
night at Mangas, and the lines being in
tcrruptcd returned to CHndelaria
The news Of the explosion caused con-
siderable excitement in Havana, as it was
known that Captain General Weyler was
in that neighborhood and the railroad
line was being used for the transportation
Of troops.
The insurgents have also blown up a
Culvert on the railroad near Artcmisa
with gunpowder.
Major Sanduval, who was carrying mail
from Havana for Captain General Weyler,
has arrived safely at Candelaria, in spite
Of the interruption in communication.
