word inside for her husband to come
out and go home, bu: no attention was
paid to her, so she went inside and was
persuading him to come with her when
Hendrickson interfered and ordered
her out of his place. Upon her de-
manding her husband, he struck and
choked her, and then threw her bodily
out into the street. This aroused the
Finnish blood of Mrs. Junna, and pro-
curing club, she started to demolish
the place; she started in on the front
windows, and by the time she had de-
molished these, out came Hendrick-
son, and she raped him over the head
a couple of times and drove him back
again. She then completed breaking
every window in the place, and was
about to go inside to treat it likewise
when policeman arrived The crowd
that had collected were cheering the
woman on, and they warned the officer
not to arrest her, as she was doing
right. The officer went inside, brought
the husband out and turned him over to
his wife, who took him to their boat
and started for home" The Finnish
paper Of Astoria, after describing In
detail how the saloon-keeper would
watch for Junna at the beginning OF
each month, in order to get him to
spend in the saloon all his earnings OF
the month previous, and the brutal at
tack of the saloon-keeper on the woman
when she tried to get her husband out
OF the saloon, asks our city council the
following pertinent questions which
have been translated into English at
my request:
!. Will the people be compelled year
after year to see and tolerate in their
midst nuisance like this saloon on
account of which every woman must
fear for their lives.
2. Do You think 1t right or proper
that two hundred or more children OF
Uniontown must every day see and
near the indecent performance of the
besotted inmates of this dive?
"3. Is 1t right that Junnas and many
other families must suffer and be in
want on account of a rascal like Hen
Erickson, only because he pays the city
license?
The people of Uniontown are arous-
ed over this affair and the only way to
quiet matters is for the city council to
revoke Hendrickson's license and un-
less this is done, the city authorities
do not deserve the name of protectors
of the best interest of the people"
These questions might equally we'll
be asked concerning every saloon Of
the United States.

saloon Brutality.

Through the mediunship OF the
Union Signal, Chicago correspondent
thus protests against saloons and their
brutality:
Editors Union Signal: The follow
ing account of the brutalities of a sa-
oon-keeper in this city was clinned
from one of our English-speaKing daily
papers, and is certified to by several OF
my acquaintances. who from the out
side saw the occurrence. Uniontown is
part of Astoria, inhabited by Rus
sian Firms who are largely temperance
men, and who strongly objected to the
licensing OF this, the only saloon In
tneir district. But the Astoria CITY
council, In spite Of the remonstranee
from the citizens Of UniOntown, licens-
ed the saloon. The crowd who sur
rounded and cheered on the woman
who wrecked the saloon were largely

The Last Chance saloon of Union
town, owned and operated by Ole Hem
dflckson, was wrecked this morning
by woman, and the act was so popular
that 1t would not have been safe for n
policeman to have attempted to arrest
her, nor can the proprietor procure a
warrant for her arrest. The woman
was Mrs. Junna, the wife of Abram
Junna, man who has a milk ranch
Oh the Lewis and Clarke river. His
ranch is a good one, and with the as
slstance Of his wife, who has several
small children, he has comfortable

A Great Contrast.

Our universities have been regarded
as the crown of our advanced civiliza-
tlon. We have looked to their gradu-
ates to be the leaders of the nation in
physical. moral and spiritual advance
ment. The late revelations have been
a great shock and disappointment to
the better portion of the nation. At
the close of the revolution, when all
were rejoicing over the victory, a man
started suit against the government
Tor some cattle, that he claimed had
been taken by the army in one of it's
hours OF need. At the trial the attor-
ney for the government closed his ar
gnment by referring to the wonderful
spectacle of nation rejoicing, "but
IN tnls rejoicing there u.s." he said, zone
dlscordant note" And then he pictur-
ed the plaintiff going UP and down the
country crying, Beef, beef" So now
wnen hosts are marching for the truth,
we nnd some university men, profess
sors and students, marching up and
down, crying, as for the one great ne
cessity of life before truth and righte-
BUSINESS, Beer, beer.'' In contrast
with this debauching Cf body and soul
oy the university, we find great social
bodies and societies banishing liquor
from their assemblies and some So
called soulless corporations enforcing
prohibition. This is rot only true In
our own great country, but in the South
American republics, which we some
times call half-civilized and to which
we are sending missionaries; there we

receiving the concession must not sell

MAKING DELICATE WIRES
Some So Small that No Gauge Can
Measure Them.

Some So Small that No Gauge Can
Measure Them.
Gold wire is mentioned In connection
with the decoration Of the sacerdotal
robes OF Aaron, it Is true, yet the Oldest
pieces Of wire of which the world has
any knowledge, says Science Siftings,
is specimen made by the Ninevites
some 500 years b. c. Solid gold drawn
wire is now practically unknown in the
trade. However, gold wire Is made in
the following manner: Silver rods are
coated with gold in proportion Of 2 per
cent. of gold to the weight Of silver to
be manipulated. When the gliding is
performed the rods are about one and
tLree-fourths inches In diameter by two
feet six inches long and weigh about
400 ounces each. The two metals are
then drawn down together, first
through steel dies and afterward
through drilled rubles or diamonds.
The process Of drilling the gems is kept
a secret. A better idea Of the minute
ness of some of these borings may,
however, be learned from the fact that
the holes cannot be discerned by the
naked eye, and only by the aid of
magnifying glass can one be convinced
that they really exist.
For the manufacture Of silver and
silver gilt wires, the silver is some
times bored out and internal copper
rods inserted, and they are then drawn
together. Wires as fine as human
hair, for example, 003 of an inch in
diameter, and even finer, can be gauged
by instruments termed "micrometcrs.
The scales for weighing the gold coin
at the mint are so exQuisitely fine they
can detect the most minute particle
added to either side Of the balance.
There are fine woven wire gauzes and
cloth, some Of which are made with as
many as 10000 meshes to the square
inch.
The more delicate classes Of wires
find application in scientific instru-
ments. So fine are these that 1t Is diff
cult to get them measured; but the task
has been accomplished, and platinum
wire has been drawn to 1900 Of an
inch, and to even greater fineness.
Aluminium wire has been drawn as
fine as l0,500 yards to the ounce, size
too fine to be practically measured by
any gauge or instrument. While men.
tioning practical examples Of fine.
drawn wires, it may be stated that
iron has been attenuated so that over
two and half miles in length only
weighed one ounce. Again, twenty
four grains Of gold have been drawn
On silver wire to a length Of 120
miles.
