IL Yields Sulphate Of Soda, Used in Manu-
featuring Plate Glass.
Recent investigation have disclosed
that in the Great Salt lake is contained
the foundation for another industry,
and that from it is to be obtained a
pure quality of sulphate of soda. In
analysing the crude salt of the lake
traces of sulphate of soda, sulphate OF
lime and calcium chloride are found,
and it has long been the custom for a
few enterprising men to go to the lake
in winter time and gather from the
shores and bars what has been known
to them as winter salt. In fact, the
presence of large crystals appearing
like salt and found only in cold weather
has long been known and commented
upon. This winter SALT" as it has been
called, is really very pure article Of
sulphate of soda, commonly called glau-
Der salt, and it has been subject of
much comment in the past that so much
of it could be found in the winter time
las result of it's capitalization at 80
degrees temperature or lower), when
such very small evidence of it's presence
can be obtained from an analysis of the
water of the lake or it's salt. This, how
ever, is now fully cleared up.
A few weeks ago the salt company
found it necessary to extend, by ditch
or f1ume, their pumping plant at Salt
cir, owing to the lowering of the lake,
and the manager, y in prosecuting the
work. struck, at depth of six inches
below the old lake bed. this soda de-
posit. He brought samples to town
and it was found to be pure sulphnte of
soda mixed with silica, which can be
separated without trouble. Sulphate
of soda is used largely by the soap
and glass works of the country and
gives particular luster to plate glass
that can be obtained in no other way.
While large quantities of carbonate

first chemical change is from sodium

A NOVEL FEATURE

Develops in the Edward Flanagan Case
 His Money Attached.
 Atlanta, Ga, Jan. "A novel feature developed today in the Allen murder case. Edward Flanagan. the murderer, has some money in cash and in bank, about $1,600 in all. All of this was at tached today on a suit brought by Mrs. Catherine Ware, who owns the house where the tragedy occurred. Mrs. Ware says that the property has been ruined by the murder and the blood which was scattered all about. The surviving Al. lens have moved away and she cannot get any tenant to take the cottage, she says in her suit. Therefore she sues Flanagan for $1,625 damages, which she says is the amount of the loss sustained through the crimes which he committed.
 w. c. Glenn, Flanagan's attorney, re- ceived a check for retainer yesterday. but the bank was not open and 1t may take a suit to determine whether the check is good or not. If Flanagan should be convicted of murder his attorney would insist on staying execution until the damage suit could be tried. as the prisoner would be needed as a witness in the suit for damages.

LARGE NAVAL FORGE
To Cruise the Gulf in Search of Filibus-
 tering Expeditions.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Increased vigil lance in filibuster patrol along the Flori- da coast is to be exhibited by the goyern- ment, and no efforts spared to prevent violation of the neutrality law. Not only have orders for the return north of the cruiser Newark at Key West been coun- termanded, but others issued for the dis patch boat Dolphin, heretofore utilized wholly as the executive yacht, to proceed to the Florida coast at once. and she is expected to leave the Washington navy ward tonight for her new duty. As soon as she can be made ready the dynamite gunboat Vesuvius is to be sent to supple ment the naval and revenue cutter force. If necessary the torpedo boats Gushing and Ericsson will speedily follow them. All these vessels are admirably adapt able for the work, particularly the tor pedo vessels, which can enter all the lagoons and cruise among the keys.
 Commander Richardson Clover has spent the past week at the navy depart ment studying the test charts of the coast to find just what inlefs he can safe ly enter with the Dolphin. which draws only 141s feet and yet possesses a speed of over fifteen knots. She is well armed with main battery of two finch rapid firing rifles, besides secondary comple- ment of two 6-pounded rapid fire guns, two 47-millimeto Hotchkiss, and two Gating machine guns.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-The Western Paper Bag company, of Batavia, H., one of the Van Nortwick plants, was placed in the hands of a receiver at noon today by the United States court. William G. Stevens, of Chicago, agreed upon by the counsel on both sides, was appointed receiver with a bond of $1OO,OOO.

 Omaha. Neb., Jan. 2.-The Omaha Say ings bank failed to open for, business this morning. Ex-Senator Manderson is pres- ident of the bank. and J. E. Wilbur, cash fer. The bank was established in 1882. Six months ago its deposits were $1, 800, ,000 but withdrawals have reduced them to less than $500, 0,00O The face value of the assets almost reached $1,100,000 and the capital and surplus are $1S5,000. The clearing house bank declined to assist the bank to the extent required, except on condition that the stockholders of the failed bank would themselves advance s1Oo0O0 and take that amount of real estate off the. banks hands The fail ure was due to rapid withdrawals of de- posits during the past three weeks, caused by excitement resulting from the bank failures in Chicago and elsewhere The stockholders are men of means and will give the necessary bond to secure the appointment of receiver of their own selection and pay all depositors in in stallments.

spoke of the destruction of the hemp in- dustry in his state. Farmers of Missou- ri he said, would be glad to return to hemp raising. and would do so if protec- tion was offered.
 J. N. Bemis, of Boston, representing the burlap bag manufacturers of this c0un- try. claimed that there was no burlap Industry here to compete with that abroad and therefore no industry to pro- tect. He requested a duty on burlap bags sufficient to cover the differences in the cost of labor here and abroad. He wanted free burlaps and free burlap cloth the proper width for making bags. Jute he held could not be grown here under any conditions. In case high duty was imposed on jute and burlap cloth the India government would meet it by giving an export bounty on the products.
 E. R. Riddle, of New York, said that the samples submitted by MT. Ruther- ford, of California, as coming in free of duty at San Francisco, were paying duty at New York and suggested that the at tention of the treasury department be called to the fraud.
 c. E. Pearce, of St. Louis, representing the manufacturers of cotton bagging and cordage, asked for the restoration of the duty on these articles provided in the Me- Kinley bill.
 He said that the free importation of jute and other fibers had displaced an- nually 100000 bales of American cotton. In his opinion cordage could stand a re duction (under the Mckinley rate) from 1h to 1 cent and binding twine from 9 to about 1a cent. f
 W. R. McCreery, of Frankfort, Ky, said he was president of a company which had been making hemp binding twine for a number of years. He wanted to say that the product was ar excellent one and could be successfully made here MT. Pearce, replying to question: said that jute or raimoro could be grown any place south of Lexington. 6F

FISH MARKET.
Shad and Herring Season Drawing tn

shad and Herring Season Drawing tn
a Close.
The shad and herring season is fast
drawing to a close and salt water fish and
crabs are supplying the demand for marine
products. Although the legal season for
shad and herring does not close until the
10th of June all the big seines down the
river have been cut out, and the small nets
are supplying the market with these fish
Last week there were 10 239 shad caught,
and they sold at about SIS a hundred.
There were 1,433, 600 herring brought to
"Ffshtown," and those that were sold did
not bring money enough to pay for catch
ing them. Inspector Harris condemned
36l. 900 herring and only % shad and these
hsh were sent back down the river to be
used as fertilizer on some of the poor land.
Other arrivals at 'Fishtowl' during the
week We're 229 carp. II sturgeon, 149eDo
clans, 1920 crabs and 1.s00 bushels of
oysters These arrivals, of course, do not
include the salt water fish and the soft
crabs received from a distance. The early
catch of salt water fish in southern waters
has been much larger this season than
usual, and hundreds of barrels are being
received here every day. The fisheries at
Cape Henry and Virginia Beach have also
started, and their catches are increasing
the supply to a large extent. These fish
are cheaper than they were ever before
known at this season of the year. and be-
cause of their low price the hucksters are
reapfng a harvest. Sea bass caught OF the
Jersey coast, are now being received here,
the catch Of them being large this season.
Boston mackerel, as well as Spanish mack
erel. are also in the market. Among the
salt water fish are bluefish, trout, porgies
and butter fish. Soft crabs are also becom-
ing more plentiful. and they are also gain
ing their full size.
