MINERAL WEALTH,

y resident business man of Sene-
ca placed in our hands this week a
prospectus of the Columbian Al.
minimum Com ,oany, a corporation
capitalized at S5y000O00. which is to
erect its plant in St. Louis, says the
Seneca Dispatch. The corporation
owns a patent by which, with the
extensive plant which it is TO erect
in st. Louis, it proposes TO manu-.
facture aluminium. The statement
in itself is not 30 remarkable, but
the further information as given
out in the prospectus, that alumni
mum is To be made of kaolin, a white
clay, which is known TO exist in
large supply in the near vicinity OF
Seneca, makes it Il matter of partic.
ular interest to Seneca.
Several business men in Seneca
have great faith in the new enter.
prise and are backing that faith by
purchasing stock in the enterprise.
which il now on the market. II il
learned from the conipany's pros
pectus that aluminium thus manu-.
featured, though produced very
cheaply, is superior in many re
spccts for many if not all the pur-
poses for which iron, steel. brass,
copper and silver are used. Ii is
pointed out that the product of this
industry, which is TO be made of
Missouri kaolin Ia white clay). may
be proiitably used for the manufac-
ture of railway cars, bridge and
house building, and interior decora.
tons, horse shoes, cooking utensils.
for mixture with paint. printers
ink. etc, and in fact wherever iron.
copper, tin, and any of the useful
metals are now used.

the company deserves. Clair and

week they have fully sustained
their reputation as actors of ability.
Miss Marie DeLano 10 not only a
clever actress, but is vocalist such

graduated on securing her. This

There seems to be other towns
besides Baxter in trouble over
chool matters. The Weir City
schools have been closed bee ause
of lack of funds, and at the last
meeting of the Galena board of ed
ucation the length of term was
shortened two months at that place.
If the truth was known, several
towns in this neighborhood have
been running schools that were too
expensive.

Several Baxter boys were over on
Sunday last, and they were parad-
ing up and down Main street with n
"we.own-the-town" expression and
white neckties, when one Galena
boy said to another in tones that
they could easily have heard had
they been out as far as Rickner's
bridge: Say, Jim, butter and eggs
will certainly be cheap next week"
and Jim, fool like, says why"
well, 1 see so many country boys
in town" The Baxter boys looked
daggers and remarked: at might
rain. We better go home" And
they went Salena Republican.

Dame Rumor says, lady preach

ly in the middle of her sermon, and
drawing back the bible said she was
going TO throw IL at the man who
was untrue to his wife. Every man

ever, this should not be taken as ev-
idence of guilt, as each innocent no
doubt was afraid she would throw

There appears to be general APP
proval among the people of Baxter
Springs at the amiable adjustment
Mayor W. S. Norton has brought
about in the settlement OF the bond
ed indebtedness of that place. Mr..
Norton believes, as do about all
who have investigated the litiga-
ton in regard TO the bonds on Bax-
ter that in the end the city would
win the suit. The very fact that the
creditors offer to take $4,000 in
bonds for their claims of nearly
$4,000 indicates that they have very
little hope of winning their suit;
but Mr.. Norton assumed that II
would be better for the city to CON-
promise on the proposition submit
ted than to spend time and money
in litigation and at the same time
have the debt hanging over the city
to the detriment of the general in
terests of the people. From the
Baxter papers we gather that there
will be practically no opposition to
the proposition. The Courier con-
graduates our neighbors on the
prospect of settling the difficulty
that has weighed them down and
been such a source of annoyance
for 90 many years,--Coi. Courier.

Bran Hearing in October.

to the Herald saws: The appeal of Thos.
M. Bran from the decree of death imposed
by the Circuit at Boston, for murder at
sea, will doubtless be advanced for an
early hearing by the Supreme court at it's
term beginning next October. A motion
to this end was submitted today by So
licitor General Conrad. In the brief up
on the motion, he calls attention to the
fact that several of the witnesses in the
case are in confinement in Boston, being
unable to give bail for their appearance
at future trial, should one be granted,
and that it is but just to them that the
case be heard as soon as possible. The
granting of the motion, however, will
compel them to remain in their present
quarters for almost year longer.
