This Tanning Mill is of the standard type;
that is, it is constructed the same general
lines most of the tanning mills offered to
the trade by other makers. However, as I'M
provement is the order of the age, we have H.
corporated in this mill some very important
features.
These improvements are a very short and
quick shake movement Of the shoe. double
the screening surface of the ordinary mill, and
the in which the shoe is hinged to the
posts Of the MILL
. The short shake is obtained by eccentric
located upon the fan shaft between the shaker
rod plate and the shaft box. And all lost motion
is taken up by spring. This short shake 1s
very important feature in the cleaning of fine
seeds. There are two spouts attached to the
shoe, one being the brader spout. and the other
being arranged that all the grain or seeds
which pass over the lower screen may be deliv-
cred at the side Of the mill opposite the crank
side A groove above the lower screen Is so
arranged that another screen may be put in
the shoe and all seeds which pass over this
will be discha rged under the fan drum,
thus making one more separation than can be
made by other makes Of tanning mills. The shoe
is hinged to both posts of the MILL which pre-
vents the grain seeds from creeping to one
side of the sleeves, and makes the mill much
steadie- the floor.
The regular outfit furnished with this mill is
called Grain Outfit, and consists of one wheat
or rye hurdle, with zinc top and wire middle
and bottom sleeves: one corn or oats sieve;
barley bean sieve; wheat grader; two
wheat barley screens, and one cheat or cookie
board. Additional sieves and screens for clean
ing clover, timothy, FAX, ETC.. are extra, but
will be furnished at q nominal price when or
,dered with the mill. These mills are always
shipped knock down. unless otherwise in
structed, thereby saving one-half in freight.

One of the most pitiful cases. perhaps
that has come before the notice of char
ity in this city for some time. is that of
the family of Mr.. Thomas Nye. residing
some distance out on State street
Mr.. Nye has been in poor health for
some time and although he has a wife
and five children to feed and clothe, he
has not been able to work since cold
weather set in and has at last been
obliged to call for assistance Wednes-
day, Notwithstanding the dangerous
condition of health he is in. he managed
to reach the house of a certain charitable
lady in this city and in feeble voice
told his sad story and asked for clothing
for his children, the youngest of which
is a mere babe and the Oldest girl not
quite Il years of age, who are actually
suffering from the cold and in great need
of other necessities of life. Mr.. Nye is a
veteran of the late war and his breaking
down in health is due to wounds received
on the battle field and although he re-
ceives a small pension it is hardly sufIi-
Gent to more than furnish a scanty sup
ply of food for his wife and little ones
The case was promptly looked into and
warm clothing and everything else needed
will be given them. There are numbers
of similar cases in town. but nothing so
pitiful as this one has presented itself
for charity aid.-Rrewer correspondence

The Civil Service Reform Discussion.

1t is not easy to decide just how
civil service reform is really intended
fer the law and how much is intended
for the ears of officeseekers who don't
like the law Judging from recent de-
velopments in Ohio there are many
constituents of General Grosvenor on
whom lie would like to impress the idea
that he would have civil service reform
torn up root and branch.
Meanwhile it will be well for all to
keep in mind the fact that the Presi-
dent has the power, as matters now
are, to apply whatever remedies are
needed 1t is his duty to do this.
President Mckinley is a practical man.
thoroughly familiar With both the Old
and the new systems governing the
civil service. Earlier in his admins
tration he evinced a disposition to re-
pair some of the mischief done hS.
Cleveland's blanket order. We have 10
doubt that the President wishes to
deal with the law on its merits and
that he will do So No one believes
that he is the man who shirks duty
which he perceiVes to be such.
We doubt very much if all those who
suggest amendments in Congress are
at heart DESTROYS of seeing the law i'm
proved. Their avowed hostility to the
principle is so we'll known that the
suspicion does not seem unjust The
discussion in Congress will, however.
be of some value, it will help to in
form the people of the exact condition
of the service, of its shortcomings as
we'll as its advantages. Anyone who
may have supposed that civil service
reform is a machine that can be set in
motion and then left to run itself
should get rid of the delusion The
friends of thought to feel assured that
it VIII bear discussion
