FAVORABLE REPORT.
General Miles Recommends a Military
 Station at Albuquerque

The Junction City, Kansas, Union says General Miles has in contempla- ton an important tour of inspection. He proposes at an early convenient date to visit number of western posts including several he has never seen, and others which in the near future may be abandoned The generals de parture will depend upon the condi- tion of public business At present he is unable to say just when he will start on his tour. A number of ques- tions of importance are now pending, and he does not think of going away until these have been disposed of, so far as army headquarters are con- cerned. 1t is a fact not generally known throughout the army that proposition is under consideration by the authorities to abandon several posts no longer thought essential. For reasons satisfactory to themselves the officials decline at present to give the names of the posts, the leaving of which is under advisement. Upon his return to Washington, General Miles will make report to the secretary of war as to the results of his inspection. In the repont he will make such recom- mendations as he deems advisable rel ative to the conditions of the posts un- der discussion, together with what ac- tion should be taken concerning the transfer of troops now there to other stations. In this connection it is learned that a short time ago General Miles recommended that an army post be established at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and stated that this place had many advantages of a military sta- tion including healthful climate and facilities for transportation, resulting from the touching of two railroads at this place. General Miles will not discuss the matter, but another official has informed a reporter that at no dis tant date Albuquerque is destined to succeed Wingate. and that the latter will be abandoned

Some six years ago there lived in the city of N a rather eccentric old man, remarkable for his shrewdness, who kept a pork shop. Three young fellows, thinking to have some fun with him, entered his shop one night and asked what his pork was yard. The old man promptly replied: ''One dol lar" One of the young men then said: ''I1l take a yard Where is your money?" said the old man. The dollar was laid down, which the old man quicF ly pocketed, and then produced three. pigs feet, with the remark: s'Three feet make one yard"

That Is How Southern Congressman
 Regards His Lot.
 Some people may think that a con- gressman saves a pile of money out of his salary" said well-known southern congressman, who was talking to q Washington Star reporter on the vicis- situdes of running for office, and es- pecially for congress, "but man has to be a small walking bank to accommo- date the large number of his friends and supporters who need little money for some urgent matter. In my state we have to make campaigns and appear before the people at meetings. We'll, 1 have never attended a meeting but that did not have some kind of a subscrip- tion poked into my face. Somebody wants something for a church and for missionary purposes or for helping some fellow who has been burned out.
 "You can't avoid subscribing, and have to head the list with the largest sum. Then about the time you think you are through with having your leg pulled some lazy fellow will walk up and say: How do, gineral? had ter quit my work ter come out and hear you terday, and thunk yer mout giv' me a dollar While you have the greatest contempt for the man, you give him the dollar.
 When you leave the meeting you are out anywhere from s2O to $50. These are just few instances of what a candi- date has to spend money for. After he gets through the campaign and is elected he has to furnish every dead beat from his district who should happen to come to Washington with money. I've ac- tually given them money and railroad tickets to get home and have them go back and work against me-"

gress, is somewhat disposed to advise
a bolt from the Republican party and
the organization of silver party and
the nomination of its own Presidential
candidate. The Senator and his silver
friends have the question of their
future action under advisement, and
it is thought that at an early day an
announcement will be made as to
whether the silver Republicans in
tend to desert their party and set UP a
platform and candidates of their own,
or whether they will remain within
the party organization and make the
free silver fight as Republicans. AT
present the indications are that if the
Republican Convention refuses to en-
body in its platform declaration
favorable to silver, the silver men will
bolt and hold convention of their
own.

Keep a ScrapbOOk.

The keystone gives some practical
directions. Every merchant should
keep scrapbook. This suggestion
has been made before, but it is fully
worth emphasizing. Every bright
advertisement that you notice in your
local paper or those of other towns ;
every model advertisement that you
observe in your trade paper, and every
practical trade-bringing plan or hint,
should be cut out and pasted in the
book, with full data as to the name
and date of the paper. You will find
such book as this an inexhaustible
NAasure of riches, especially on those
days when your ideas run scarce, and
you are too busy to take time to evolve
good advertisement.

SILVER AND PROTECTION.
No importance Attached to the
Conference in Washington.

Congressman and politicians gener-
ally are not inclined to regard the
conference of silver Republicans and
manufacturers at Washington as i'm
portant, or as indicating q change of
policy on the part Of Congress with
regard TO the tariff or financial ques-
ton. Indeed, many OF the most prom
inent silver Republicans in the Senate
and House had no knowledge of the
meeting Of the conference and had not
been consulted as to its plans. The
most influential Republican who took
part in it is Senator Teller, and even
he does not claim that anything will
come of it in the way of change in the
legislative programme. The Tariff
bill of the House of Representatives is
dead, and nothing can bring it back
TO life during the present Congress
AS result of the meeting of the
manufacturers and silverites, however,
there has been renewed consultations
as to the course to be pursued by the
silver Republicans at the st. Louis
Convention. 1t is no secret among
his friends that Senator Teller, the
real leader of the silver party in Con-

THE MBRAYEY DIsTILLERY co.
Made Its First Mash Saturday and
will Make $4,000 Gallons
~ Per Day.

The McBrayer Distilling Co.
started up here last week. They
will run during the season-three
months. They have a roller mill
which grinds 125 bushels of corn
per hour, eight fermenting tubs
with capacity of $4,000 gallons
each, or 10000 gallons. Their
make will be $685. bushels per day,
and the daily production will be
300 gallons of whisky, or 243, 900
gallons during this run. Their
pay roll to employees will be 1925
per week, and the cost in running
the distillery will be not less than
81, 900 per day.
The slop from the distillery, in
stead of being disposed of as here
tofore by forcing it over the hill,
will be shipped down the railroad
and disposed of for fertilizer, it be-
ing the finest fertilizer known. In
addition to this the company will
run cooper shop, working a force
of twenty-five hands and turning
out sixty barrels per day, We are
glad there will be no kick coming
from the disposition of the slop
since it will be taken to Thompson
Station.
The distillery is under the man
agement of w. B. Johnson, who be-
gan in this business when a boy
fifteen years old at SOC per day,
and has held every position known
to the business, from the beginning
to Superintendent.
The company has been reorganiz-
ed and is now owned by Mr.. John

New York; Mr.. Meagher being the
only member Of the old firm who is

Rev. j. E, Wright, pastor at Nicho-
lasville, thus speaks OF Rev. Mr..
Vaught in the Central Methodist:
"We have had an interesting pro-
tracted meeting, which closed on Feb.
7. We are indebted to Rev. J. O. A 4.
Vaught. of Versailles, for two excel
lent sermons day for twelve days
His discourses were so plain that all,
even children, understood them.
Young and old alike were edited by
his preaching. His appeals to sinners
were persuasive and strong. The
church and community were highly
pleased with brother Vaught as a
preacher and Christian gentleman"
Mr.. Vaught will begin a meeting
az the M. 4. Church, South, in this
city as soon as the meeting now going
on at the First Presbyterian church
closes. 1t is hoped that the good
work of religious revival will thus be
deepened and broadened in the com.
munity. Let the good feeling exist
ing between the churches be illustrat-
Ell by general attendance upon these
services.

Rev. w. e. Beiderwolf, assisted

Allison, both of Indiana, have been
in our midst conducting co-opera-

exposition of Gods word. While
he breaches from the same texts
and tells the same truths that we
have heard since childhood, still
the earnestness with which he pre-
sents these texts and truths fasten
in the hearts and minds of his
hearers so deeply that great good
is being accomplished already from
his visit to our city.
Last Sunday evening the attend
ance was so large that the Opera

about one thousand souls assem-
bled to hear this eminent divine.

To Bore Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored
through by means of rotating brass
tubes of the necessary diameter, which
are filled with water during boring
To the water there is added Iinely
pulverized emery. The boring cylin-
der is put into motion by means of a
drill or bow drill. Weaker glass can
be provided with holes in an easier
manner by pressing disk of wet clay
upon the glass and making a hole
through the clay of the width de-
sired, so that the glass is laid bare
here. Then molten lead is poured in
to the hole and lead and glass drop
down at once. This method is based
upon the quick, local heating OF the
glass, whereby it obtains circular
crack, this outline of which corresponds
to the outline of the hole made in the
clay. The cutting of glass tubes,
cylinders, etc, in the factories is based
upon the same principle, says Pitts

more attention to the small orchards
than the big ones, it was rather to his

shown good judgment. AS for hurting

about that. He was there to do his duty,
