The railroads and elevators in
and around Chicago are being lit
orally swamped with the unprece-
dented movement of grain from the
West. The railroads not only have
every box car in service, but are
boarding up stock cars and rigging
up other equipment in vain efforts
to handle the traffic. The st. Paul,
Burlington and Rock Island were
blocked with grain trains for miles
out of the city Monday and every
side track in the country is being
used for storage tracks. Monday
6065 cars of grain were offered for
sale on the Board of Trade. This
means two days receipts. The re-
ceipts of corn for the same period
were $500 cars. The bulk of the
stuff is being contracted to go East
via water. The demand for vessel
room is so great that the lake rate
from Chicago to Buffalo has adj
vanced 100 per cent, or to two cents
per bushel, and boats can not now
be secured at this rate.

10th Anniversary.

Henry Keene and wife of West
Nottingham were the recipients of
a complete surprise last Friday, the
occasion being the 10th anniversary
of their marriage. Their son Frank,
who lives in Phila., decoyed them
to North East to meet him and
when they returned home $50
guests were gathered to shower
congratulations. A huge feast was
spread on the lawn and sisters,
cousins, aunts, children, grand
children, and friends galore were
soon discussing its merits with
hearty good will. The remainder
of the afternoon and evening was
spent in music and conversation.

"Grinding at the r1iII'-The Old Way
and the New.

We read in the Bible of women
away back in the olden times grind
ing at the mill. And pictures show
how milling was done by the
women. A large stone was hollow
ed out forming a kind of bowl into
which the grain was placed. A
woman sat on each side of this stone
bowl or basin and held stone
pestle with both hands which they
moved vigorously back and forth
and round through the grain, which
was gradually crushed and reduced
to coarse -four that was made into
"unleavened" cakes and baked on
the hearth stones. This primitive
method of milling made what our
millers call whole flour. The en-
tire grain was ground up, bran and
all, and doubtless made very nutri-
tious bread
This ancient manner of making
flour has long since been abandoned
and an entirely new method is prac-
ticed, known as the roller flour
method. These Touring rollers are
made of steel, serrated and run to-
gether almost touching each other,
but at a different rate of speed.
This process graduates the wheat,
and this coarse flour is put through
another pair of serrated rolls which
are geared still closer and driven at
a high rate of speed. The flour is
put through three or four processes
of this kind and a separate grade
produced by each process, one por-
ton being very white which is con
sidered No. 1, but its superior
qualities are for the eye only. In
order to make a whole flour the
several grades are put together and
ground, the bran having all been
separated from the flour before the
last stage is reached. The last
process makes a whole flour, only |
the hard silicat skin or bran, the
cover of the grain, having been sep
arated from the wheat kernel.
This last process Mr.. John Hunter
claims as his own device or inven-
ton, which gets rid of the objection
that was formerly made to roller
flour, the old burr-stone process
flour, it was claimed by its advo-
Gates, being more nutritious and
wholesome article. If you want to
learn all about scientific milling
pay Mr.. Hunter a visit at his mills
a short mile north of Rising Sun,
and he will be pleased to show you
the fine machinery which is used
in new process mill and explain
all about modern scientific flour
manufacturing.

The return game of tennis be-
tween the Oxford and Pioneer clubs
was played at Oxford last Tuesday
afternoon and resulted in we'll
earned victory for the Pioneer boys,
the score being IS, As, 6-1, 60.
Messrs. Mccullough and Wingate
represented Oxford while Reynolds
and Richards welded the racket
for the Pioneers. The Oxford team
played remarkably steady game,
their lobbing being especially true
and their placing good. The fast
service and hard drives and smashes
of the Sun boys, however, more
than overcame this and practically
won them the match.

Suicide at EIkton.

On Sunday afternoon the body of
a woman was found floating in Big
Blk creek a short distance below
Vinsinger's mill, by Alfred T..
Mearnes and Miss Annie Wilson,
who were strolling along the bank
of the stream. AS soon as the news
was spread a company of citizens
gathered to the spot and the body
of the drowned woman was drawn
from the water. No one recognized
the corpse till the next day, when
the woman's husband, Joseph Rob-
erts, of Philadelphia, appeared on
the scene and asked to see the
corpse. Mr.. Roberts Immediately
recognized the woman as his wife.
Mrs. Mary R. Roberts, who had
left her home in Philadelphia about
1870 O'Clock on Friday afternoon.
Search had been made for the lost
woman by relatives and neighbors,
without finding any clue till Mon
day, when Miss Roberts, the
daughter, saw a notice of the trag-
edy at Elkton. Mr.. Roberts i'm
mediately started for Elkton with
the result above stated.
A coroner's jury was impaneled
soon after finding the body and
Drs. lamar, Cooper and Clempson
held post-mortem examination of
the remains, and pronounced the
case suicide from drowning. The
coroner's jury met on Monday and
adjourned till s o'clock Monday
night, when Miss Roberts, the
daughter, would be present to
testify.
When the jury reassembled the
first witness called was Miss Mary
Roberts. She told of her mothers
disappearance on Friday last, leav-
ing message written on a slate,
saying she could not be happy and
was going away. The daughter
said that she and her father left
hOhlC ldSl 1lNlttN HlOl mug DIT SlA
O'Clock to go to work in factory
and did not retmrn until six p. M,
when the message was found and a
neighbOr said her mother had left
the house about 1870 o'clock. Miss
Roberts stated their home was q
happy one.
Joseph Roberts told the jury that
his wife was discontinued in Phil
adelphia, to which city they had
moved from Wilmington about two
months ago.
The case was evidently one OF
melancholy insanity.
Mrs. Roberts was a daughter OF
Scott Strickland, of Cherry Hill,
and was married to Joseph Roberts
of Baldwin nineteen years ago, and
was fortythree years of age. Hell
remains were inferred at Cherry
Hill on Wednesday.

The Sub-Treasury in New York
Monday transferred for local banks
through the Treasury at Washing
ton 100000 in currency to Kansas
City, and $4,000 in silver dollars
to Texas through the Sub Treasury
at New Orleans. Shipments of
currency to the South and West
Monday by banks direct were very
large, all banks reporting the re-
ceipts of orders for remittances.
The United States Treasury is doing
all it can to facilitate the transfer
of currency, especially small bills
and silver dollars, to places where
the money is needed for moving the
crops, and to that end has placed
supplies at the several sub treas
uries at New Orleans, Chicago, st.
Louis and Cincinnati, in order that

Quarterly. Meeting.

The Friends Quarterly Meeting
at the Brick Meeting House was
numerously attended by persons
from both sides of the line. The
meeting was addressed by William
Wood, Ezra Fell, Chalkley Web
ster and Nary II. Way.
AT the First day conference held
at the same place on Seventh day,
earnest discussion was had on the
policy or propriety of introducing
singing into the First day school
service. Such innovations are al
ways accompanied with more or
less of a shock TO members who
have passed the meridian of life.
The FirSt-day school itself is but a
modern innovation on the primitive
custom of that denomination. The
singing will come, however, and be
followed by the organ, for both are
found in many families of the most
intelligent and progressive Friends.
The Society will not suffer by in
Producing good things, if it is well
guarded against good things going
out. 1t is the plain, unostentatious
spirit of fraternity which radiates
from the religious organization of
the Friends which gives it a sweet
SAVIOR that contrasts so advantage
ously with the growing ostentations
from wealth that is communicating
so many church orders.
William Wood, of Baltimore,
and Ezra Fell, of Wilmington, took
an active part. James d. Headly
acted as chairman and Mabel
Haines secretary of the meeting.

A Narrow Escape.

A young son of Jos. SINNERS had
narrow escape from serious injury
or death last Friday. While haul
ing a load of baled straw to Colora
Friday afternoon, Mr.. SINNERS
hired man got off the load to apply
the break while descending the
steep hill leading into the village,
leaving the 10 year old boy to
drive. When about half way down
the hill the lock block slipped out,
causing the weight of the load to
fall on the horses. The animals
held back as long as possible but
finally broke into a run down the
steep hill. When near the bottom
the rope broke which held the load
in place and boy and bales came to
the ground together. The team
was turned and the wagon ran
against a tree which stopped fur
ther progress. For a wonder the
boy escaped with a few slight
bruises.

From a Democratic Standpoint.

The lines this moraiag in present.
ing the latest gossip on the collector
ship pauses long enough to say:
"New arrivals in Ell Paso frequently
ask why it is that certain republicans
of Ell Paso are SO bitterly opposed to
their ex-mayor. It's a short story.
A bout three years ago Mr.. Campbell
asked his pat ty to nominate HIM for
mayor of Ell Paso. He had always
heen successful in politics and conse-
quertly had incurred the displeasure
Of other local republicans who aspired
to the leadership of their party. They
combined to defeat Campbell, and he
openly served notice on tht m that IF
you get in the middle of the road will
run over you.' The kindly warning
was not needed and somebody got run
over. Campbell was nominated, elect
ed and served his term. But he made
enemies by refusing to divide honors
with his enemies. Some of them
charge that he accepted repu blicans on
his ticket only to slaughter them, and
they have camped on his trial since.
They are not supporting Dillon because
they love him more, but because they
love Campbell less. That is the situa-
ton vie wei from q democratic staud-
point If there is another view of the af-
fair the enemies of Mr.. Campbell can
tell you all about it,
The facts in the case from q republi-
can standpoint were presented in an
&c itorial in the HERALD of Oct 26.
