Geo. Wigton and G. Speck were
down TO Hoisington last Saturday
evening.
s'Alonzo" the correspondent who
never tells lie except when he don't
tell the truth, was seen in Olmitz a
few days ago.
There is said to be pair of Siamese
twins living on head waters of Blood
creek. Said to be some different from
the old Siamese. These chaps are
bummers, while the ancient ones
were sober, and these fellows are
correspondents while the others were
not. What think you of it j. u. and

The Bryan free silver meeting held
at School house Dist. No. IS. this
township, night of the 18th, was
fairly we'll attended. Speakers were
Messrs Strothman and Wright, who
were listened to with marked atten-
ton and the speeches lett good inn
preston on the audience. Music was
furnished by the Blood creek orchestra
which enlivened the meeting and
spoke words of praise for these musll
clans.
Another republican, gold.bug meet
ing was held in Olmitz the night of
October 14th; had a fair audience
with majority in favor of free silver.
The meeting was addressed by i'm
ported speakers, a dutchman from
Chicago and a dutch.irishman from
Mcpherson: one was fat headed and
the other was fiat footed, neither had
speech of their own get up, but told
what they heard some other fellow
say, and their speeches were fatter
than their feet or head, and cut nc
figure with their hearers. But the
fiat headed fellow had gullet for
hop tea and after the meeting was
over the way he gulped that stuff
down was a wonder to the boys.
Some thought he was made up like
an opossum and had false pouch for
the hop tea to run into. He blowed
that he paid for the drinks out of his
own funds; Gin a horn he did,; said
he was paid only other necessary ex-
pences; of course he had a pass to
travel on. Send him to Olmitz again
he is as good as Buckland to make
votes for Bryan The fiat footed
fellow was tired and took a bed in
hotel DeBush to dream over how
much money Hanna would pay him
for riding on a pass.

DESTRUCTION IN CUBA.
A Campaign Soon to be Inau-
gurated to destroy Pro-
perty.

New York, Aug. 23.-The
World this morning says: A
campaign of total destruction
OF property will shortly be in
augurated in Cuba by the
Cubans. The provisional
government has so ordained
in a proclamation dated July
IS. By this destruction two
fold object is to be gained
The loss Of an immense cash
income is expected to shorten
Spanish warfare and throw
the island in a wilderness and
compel her to withdraw her
armies. All classes Of proper
ty, whether foreign owned or
not, are to be treated alike as
ali pay tribute to Spain. The
necessity for wholesale des-
truction is laid entirely upon
the need of the further and
complete ruin of the money
producing power Of Cuba.
The proclamation further
prohibits any preparation for
the coming crop in any way,
forbids cane grinding during
the coming season and holds
all planters who disregard the
proclamation to be traitors &c
Cuba. All property seized is
to be sold and used to liqui-
date the indebtedness of the
republic. Gen. Gomez is com.
manded to notify all the
military sub-chiefs to begin al
fonce the regid enforcement o
all these regulations.

AMERICAN MONEY
IN CANADA.

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 23.-
Banks in Toronto are daily be
coming more suspicious of
American money, and now not
one of them will accept any
form of American money at par
to any great extent. Yesterday
the Bank of Montreal, in Mon
lreal, refused to take United
States bills or silver front any
one. The Toronto branch of
that hank still receives small
amounts from customers and
charges one half per cent. The
Merchants bank is also con.
sidering the advisability of re-
fusing all United States money,
but. today received bills at a
discount of l per cent. The
Standard has for some time
maintained a discount Of 1C
per cent. The Dominion now
charges 2 per cent on national
currency and 10 per cent on
silver certificates. Other banks
charge from one half to l pei
cent. Only tie Bank Of Hamil.

customers in small amounts.

POWDER FOR CANNON.

essary For Big Ordinance.
The great trouble with powder in
cannon was Epon found to be that 1t ex-
erted all its force too suddenly, so that
all the strain came On one end OF the
gun. When gunpcHder is set on fire, it
turns suddenly into Gas. and the gas
needs about 300 times the space that
the solid powder occupied. The e1plo-
sion of ordinary gunpowder IS so sud
den that for a moment that part OF the
gun around the powder charge has TO
hold the big volume Of gas squeezed
down under enormous pressure until the
shot can make start to get out Of the
gun and make room for the gas. Ii,
therefore, gunpowder could be made
which would burn little slower, so
that il would not all be burned until
the shot reached the muzZle, the gas
would be more gradually formed and
the strain be distributed al along the
gun. Such powder was first made III
Germany and was first called cocoa pow
der. because it resembled IN color ano
! general appearance a cake Of chocolate.
oret, but other countries analysed the
grains and soon learned to make it even
better than Germany. 1t is made partly
by changing the proportions Of the in
gradients, making them about 10 per
cent saltpeter, 3 per cent sulphur and
IS per cent charcoal, but mainly by
using an underburned charcoal, thug

Thus there arose q division Of eunpow-
der into quick and slow burning pow
ders
It was not alone necessary TO make O
powder which would burn more slowly.
but if possible to make one barn so that
more gas would be forming when the
shot got near the muzzle than we5
forming when it started from the breech,
because there is more room Behind the
shot when it nears the muzzlc. and it
therefore takes more gas to keep up tho
J same pressure against its base.
To accomplish this and to make the
grains lie so that there should be spaces
evenly distributed among them to al
low the fame to reach every grain at
once, causing all Of H. Z to Begin run
ming together, grains we.e made CT reg
nlar shapes, and each shape was tried
to see how nearly it gave the desired
results. Thus there have been used
round grains, square grains, sphere
hexagonal grains, cylindrical grains
and pris.natic gains. Of course it is
impossible to make grain which vii!
have more ard more surface to burn tins
smaller it gets, so the best result which
has thus far been obtained is only al

IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

Just how far American citi-
zenship should be protected by
prescribed qualifications on the
part of those who seek it's be
netits is a serious question. 1t
is likely to receive ventilation
in the courts and, at no distant
day, a law will be enacted de-
fning definitely the terms on
which an alien may become a
citizen OF the United States.
Quite recently, Judge Cole,
of the supreme court OF the
District of Columbia, refused
naturalization papers TO an
Italian on The ground that the
applicant had no knowledge of
the Constitution and betrayed
utter ignorance of our form OF
government. Much comment
was caused by this decision
but there was general expires
sion of the idea that a man
ought to know what he is doing
when be takes an oath and thai
some knowledge of the genera
principles underlying our gov,
ernmeht should be- demanded
before man is allowed the
privileges of its protection.
A few days ago, Judge Cole
rendered another decision
equally as important as th'
first. Two Germans applied fol
naturalization papers. They
were given an English news
paper and their ability TO reac
the language was tested. On,
reached reading requirement.
and was admitted to citizen
ship, but the other made 8,
