DOVES MILLS.


w. III. Lonesome OF our oldest and most
highly respected citizens and father of
pr. J. II. Jones, is very sick at this writ
ing. On last Friday q careless observer
could have seen q luscious smile pro-
truding from each corner of Emory
Hufine's mouth; it extended back on
the surface Of his jawbone, thence over
the summit OF his ears and thence de-
scended his spinal column. The direct
cause OF this rare occasion was q new
boy at his house. Rev. Phelps, of MILL
gan, preached two sermons at Union on
last Sunday and Sunday night. Rev.
Teams baptized Miss Pearl Ray last
Sunday evening near the home Of Esq.
CARRIER. Two cases of diphtheria are re-
ported near this place. David Slower is
doing a lively matrimonial business at
the home OF Morley Hufine. 1t seems
that the job, from all appearance, will
soon be completed. Rich success to you,
Dave. il. Scott, Milligan, was at home
Sunday. Messrs. Bolton and Miller came
down from Milligan last Saturday and
returned Monday, carrying with them
the hearts Of some of our young ladies'.
Jacob Fine Is In a sickly condition at
present. Columbus Fine fell out of his
barn Sunday and hurt himself very
badly. BAcoHus.

BY 1892. which was a year of unprec
edented prosperity, the demand for la.
Dor became very strong, and the natu-
raj result followed-an increase in the
price. 1t was not until after the panic
OF 1898 began, which was precipitated
by the selection to power of a party
pledged to revolutionize the system un.
der which we had enjoyed this pros
perity, that the demand for labor began
to fall off and the consequent cutting
OF wages occurred. This was the ex.
perience of nearly every class of skill

THE free traders of the country
made all sorts Of predictions as to the
dreadful effects the Dingley Law would
nav on our export trade, and had
proven, to their own satisfaction, that
this country would be bankrupt as a
consequence of the falling off in u

and see how much better our business
with foreign markets is under the
Dingley Law than they were under

Experiments with SIelenite.

In experimenting with the new explo-
sive, melenite, some most interesting facts
were brought to light. Three wells were
sunk on the slope of three hills. There was
an interval of 100 yards between two OF
them and slightly more between the second
and third. The wells were square in form
and 26 feet deep. At the bottom there was
a chamber arranged TO hold 80 cases Of the
explosive. each case containing 10 pounds;
$500 pounds of powder were put into one
of the chambers, and 2, $50 pounds of mel
enite were placed in the other. The pow
der was ignited by an electric current A
terrific roar and ruInbllng, chen u great
column of smoke covered the place. When
this had cleared away, it was discovered
that the entire face of the locality had been
changed in appearance. Enormous masses
of rock were thrown To the bottom and op
posite side OF the ravine; III some cases
pieces rs large ms 80 cubic feet were flung
out like marbles. The road was obscured,
vegetation had entirely vanished, and the
surface of the ground was covered with
rocks and earth
An hour afterward the melenite was ex-
ploded. The noise was louder than the
charge of powder. and the earth was seri-
onsly shaken at 500 yards distant from the
place where the explosion occurred. The
popularity Of this explosive was that in
stead nf large masses the rock was reduced
almost 90 fragments. 1t was difficult to
find piece larger than a mans fist, So
completely was il disintcgrated, and the
earth was opened for some distance A not
able feature of the explosive was that in
wide assures, where the rocks remained
apparently intact, they were so loosened
and crushed by the explosion that the
slightest touch prccipitated them down
the rnvine, where they crumhled into little
pieces This experiment has attracted
great deal Of attention, especially from the
fact of the power Of the melenitc to crush
rocks into such small bits, n peculiarity
hitherto unknown in experimenting with
explosives. New York Ledger

UP THE VALLEY.
Albion Mills Will Go Under
New Schedule Monday.
Term Readiustment is as Unjust
as it is Deceptive.
The Agent and Management are Playing Upon
Figures-Notes From Up the Valley.

The attempt on the part of the manage
ment of the Albion Company's mills at
Valley Falls, to give forth to the public the
impression that reduction of wages has
not gone into effect there, Is as unjust as
it is deceptive. While the agent, and even
the proprietors may not be expert mathe-
maticians, though competent manufact-
urers, still they must be credited with pos
sessiug fair knowledge of the funda-
mental principles of figures and can
comprehend percentage. Now the weavers
on wide goods, such as sheetings, have re-
ceived 80 cents per cut and the average
weaver turns off about twenty-four such
cuts week, meaning S7.20. Under the
new rate, but 27 12 cents cut is allowed,
or 1-2 cents less, meaning an actual re-
duction of one-twelfth, or 8 1-3 per cent.
Figure this for week the weaver will be
able to make about $500, or GO cents less.
Figure this for year, step further, say,
and il means that the earnings OF weaver
on wide goods will be annually lessened to
the amount of s31 1.2O-quite tidy sum. Is
this not a reduction pure and simple, not
a ''readjustment," as the agent and owners
would like the public to believe?
And the same reasoning obtains as to
the weavers on print cloth goods, who
will receive but 16 Ia cents per cut, as
compared with 18 cents heretofore. Well,
it is easy to figure that this reduction is
0 3-4 per cent.-vcry close to 10 per cent
and therefore greater than that made on
wide goods. Now the production of
six-loom weaver on print cloths should
average 36 cuts weekly, meaning stipend
for that period of s6.4S under the old rates.
But what does ii mean under the new?
Simply SO cuts at 16 IA cents per cut, or
S5.S5, weekly falling off in the pay
envelope of 63 cents, or an annual loss to
the weaver of S32.76, another very tidy
sum. The weavers are naturally wrought
up over the matter and would much have
preferred temporary shortening Of the
hours OF labor or suspension for brief
period, rather than cutting down the
hard-earned pittance received in the past.
1t is a wonder the agent and proprietors
of the Albion Company's mills at Valley
Falls did not apply this average reduction
not readjustment at all-of 8 per cent. to
all other departments, including children
of tender years, who labor from an early
hour Monday morning until Saturday
afternoon-6O hours in sitting atmos-
phere-for about g week, or a trifle over
cents an hour. In the immediate future,
however, the TRIBUNE will treat in ex-
tense of this subject-child labor in local
corporations.
