Kit Alexander had been warned SOW
oral times for breaches of school disci-
pline and was at length reported to the
head master, who gave him a final
warning. Ono night not long after Kit
was again caught in mischief, and he
felt that this time he was Sin for it. "
A flogging by the doctor was 10 joke,
and Kit determined to make what prep
aration no could that tho wind might
be tempered to the shorn lamb.
On rising tho next morning he put
ON first his undershirt, then q layer Of
stiff brown paper, then his jerseys, upon
these O sweater and over all a clean
whito shirt, borrowed from his chum,
whose clothing was two sizes larger
than his own. Lastly he put Oh his coat
and vest.
1t was a very hot day in June, and at
morning intermission Kit whispered to
q friend: "I'm nearly stifled. I hope
he'll give it to mo now"
But the doctor said nothing, and Kit
won't on Slowing until dinner time. He
felt half inclined to dispense at least
with tho sweater before afternoon school,
but fear of tho DOCTORS cane deferred
him.
All through tho afternoon he suffered
untold misery, mopping his face until
his handkerchief would mop no more.
But at length. just before dismissal,
came q messenger. "Tho doctor would
like to see Alexander in his study"
On entering tho study tho boy saw
the supple, snakelike cane lying on tho
table.

not yet looked ut life for himself, but
still saw it through the stained glaks

County Treasurer L D. Long was in
his Office during the day and says be
locked his safe, as is his custom, before
closing up for the night. Returning on
Tuesday morning. he found his Office
door open and on further examination
discovered that his safe lad been opsn-
ed and the amount as stated, gone.
The thief evidently must have known
the com mbinaiion, and baviug provided
himself with key to the Office, had no
trouble ln getting the booty.
This was a surprise to US when we
heard the truth yesterday. 1t is the first
thing Of the kind that has ever hap.

SENATE.
The senate held two sessions yester-
dav, and was sitting altogether for six
and hals hours. Yet the results are
not great. At the morning meeting
Mr.. Barnwell made 40 earnest fight in
a cause already lost, the remainder of
the time being gwen to considering a
report from the house and in making
changes 10 bill to incorporate minor
towns. At night the interest was
greater, for kind Of cannon cracker
was exploded. It was not known at
first who had touched it off, or under
whose chair it was, but q little smoke
remained. and enGeavor to trace it up
elected the information that the thing
bad been in the vicinity Of the chair of
the disting guished gentleman from Edge
field. To be more explicit, it is said
that last night the first gun was fred
in the gubetuatoriaI campaign for
1896, and the concurrent resolution
sent over from the house providing for
the investigation Of colleges was the
weapon intended 70 oaugurate the stir-
mish.
The Senate bill providing for the es.
tablishment Of the Supreme Court was
the first Dill taken up by the Senate at
the morning session. The House bad

brine for the cold storage is forced
into the chilling tank, then to all parts
of the building, with return pipes
which keep up q rotary motion Of the
brine. There is q certain amount of
loss from evaporation which is sup
piled by renewal.
C. E. Brum, the chief engineer, took
pains to call attention to special fea-
lures Of the ice plant. The water
used for this purpose is taken from
drilled wells, sunk sixty feet to the
solid rock, thus affOrding absolutely
pure water. This is boiled and the
water used Is all condensed steam.
When the Ice is produced it is as clear
as pure spring water. Clear pure ice
can be produced in no other way,
Every germ Of impurity is thus de-
stroyed. The cakes Of Ice weigh 800
pounds, and are handled by one man
with travelling crane as easily as one
could lift ten-pOund package. The
ammonia used In freezing the ice is
forced through continuous coils of
pipe, after which it is returned to the
cooling vat, the pipes being submerged
in brine. The cans containing the
water to be frozen are simply dropped
into the brine and the contents are
frozen. They are all numbered and
taken out according to number. This
process is described, as there are few
who have had an opportunity to in
spect an Ice plant.
The boiler rooms contain three 72.
inch boilers, 40O.horse power combined.
