Ignite COAL FOR PIG IRON.
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS MADE
AT vi SIX PENITTsNTIARY.

Rusk, Texas, December I2.--Colonel A.

itentiary; John Cochran. manager of the
Alcnlde furnace at the penitentiary. and

Hogg pipe foundry at the penitentiary last
have made test OF Ignite coal for fuel
In making pig iron. These parties built
q small furnace at the penitebtiary last
week and on last Friday made run II
mig iron, using the Ignite coal for fuel.
The experiment worked all right.
The furnace at tho penitentiary here Is
operated with charcoal made from timber
and It takes about 1000 cords OF wood per
NORTH to make charcoal TO run the fur
mace. There Ii plenty Of Ignite coal In
this section and the State will soon arr
range the furnace 70 ulc Ignite instead Of
charcoal and make test on big scale.
The parties who made the first test arc
confident that Ignite can be used. II the
test OF Ignite proves what Ia believed u
Will be, the two ffty-ton furnaces here
that are now idle will start up, IS the
reason they are not running now y %,

DEMAND for L.borer. In Oregon.

Portland. Ore. December IA. The Ore
gonian today prints the following; Within
the coming two months at least $500 la
borers will be employed in building the
Snake River Valley line Of the o. R. and
N. As many OF these men as can possibly
be obtained in Portland or the Northwest
VIII be put on the work. The remainder
will need to be brought from the East.
The surplus OF the Northwest available for
railroad building Is not large. probably less
than half as much as win be required for
this one enterprise. so II will be necessary
to bring great many men from the EAST.

A GREAT ARMY OF REBELS.

Madrid, June 2S.-The govern.
ment has received the following dis
patch from Captain-General August,
dated Manila, June %;
"The situation is still grave | con-
tinue to maintain my position inside
the line ofblockhouses, but the enemy
is increasing in numbers as the rebels
occupy the provinces which are sur
rendering. Torrents ofrain inmdat-
ing the entertainments, render the
work of defense difficult.
"The number of sick among the
troops is increasing making the situa-
ton very distressing and causing in.
creased assertions Of the native SOL
diers. have over 1000 sick and 200
wounded.
at is estimated that the insurgents
number 10000 armed with rifles and
100000 armed with swords.
"Aguinaldo has summoned me to
surrender, but | have treated his pro-
posals with disdain, fer lam resolved
to maintain the sovereignty of Spain
and the honor of the flag to the last
extremity.
"The citadel has been invaded by
the suburban inhabitants who have
their homes owing to the
barbarity of the rebels. These in
habitants constitute an embarrass
ment, aggrayating the situation in
view of the bombardment, which,
however, is not seriously apprehended
for the moment.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1898-07-01

The war, which now threatens the
existence of Spain, is not without the
greatest dangers to the free institu-
tious of the United States. A war
began upon the plea of humanitarian
ism is fast becoming war Ofconquest.
Intoxicated by the success of Dewey
in the Philippine islands, there has
sprung up in the United States a
great desire to acquire the lands Of
other powers. A strong navy and a
strong army is now demanded Hav-
ing the power, moral considerations
will no longer deter the ambitious
and covetous. The greatest dangers
now threaten our own government,
not from foreign powers but from
our own people. We will cease to be
isolated and will in short time, be
involved in the quarrelS of the old
world. The Monroe doctrine will be
cast to the winds, As one of the anti
quated notions of former times The
pesce and prosperity Of our people
will be sacrificed aud we will riva'
Alexander in our greed for power.
We arc as much interested in the
restoration of peace as is Spain. A
protracted war is ruin to her, and, we
fear threatens us with similar fate.

A SUPPOSED BURGLARY.

Mr.. Chas. Hoover, who resides near
the turnpike a short distance southwest
of town, had startling experience on
Thursday night, Of last week.
Soon after he had retired a noise in
in the hall and parlor convinced him
aud his wife that burglars were ransack-
ing the lower part of the house. Charlie
wanted to investigate and take hand
in the affair at once but his wife and
other female members Of the family who
had gathered in the one room in nervous
dread, would not hear to this for mo-
ment. or permit Charlie to even think Of
such thing.
So all through the long hours Of the
night, with lamp burning and every
nerve stretched to its greatest tension
they sat and listened to the scoundrels
as they pounded around in search of
valuables. Poor Charlie, after a long
days exhaustive labor in the harvest field
and with the promise of another before
him with the rising of the sun could not
keep his heavy eyelids from dropping
oc ,asionally. but this was the immediate
signal for each alert and widc-awake
female to pounce upon and fully arouse
him in ayiify. He would gladly have
gone down and tackled dozen burglars
single handed, but the bare suggestion
was worse than pointing a gatling gun
at The more than terrified women, and
ne could only groan in anguish Of mind
and body and pray for morning TO con 8
At last the welcome davbreak crepr
through the windows and soon the
earth was golden with the rays OF the
morning sun as 1t gil above the
mountain.
Then Charlie proceeded to inv est,
gate. Cautiously he slipped down
the stairway followed by the warm
and weary looking females,an reach
ing the parlor door the mystery was
ut once revealed. Penned in the
small space between the wooden dool
and the wire screen door were tive
toad, that had done nothing but
bound back and forth between tho
two doors all night long making
more racket than a horse.
Charlie says that mad WAS nothing
to the way he felt, and he is confident
that had he bitten any one just then
hydrophobia would have been the
certain result. Just to think that
two blasted common, low down hoI
toads, the same that will make youl
COW Give bloody milk if you KILT, 81

come too familiar with them, should
have given him such night.
/ Few and short were the words they
spoke, and breakfast passed in pro-
found silence. Of course the ladies
smiled at each other, as is their way
under such circumstances, but they
were mighty careful not to let Char
lie catch them at it, rs he plodded
out to the harvest field to drive his
binder through the long hot day, and
feeling sure that he was going to drop
to sleep, fall off before the machine
and be cut mp as fine as frog eggs.

cause his COWS to give bloody milk

The Conventions.

Primaries were held last saturday
night to attend the township meet
ings called to select delegates to the
Charlottesville Convention. Shonan'
doah will attend the Congressional
Convention represented by two dis
tinct sets of delegates, both, OF course
claiming to be the regular delegation.
If one set were opposed to Congress
man Hay, it would be easy to decide,
for in conventions, as well as in war,
the laws are silent but both sets are
enthusiastically for Hay. lie cannot
well afford to take the side Of either,
for while it would not affect his NOM
nation, it might exert a big influence
at the election and it woll | certainly
for mthe nucleus of an anti-Hay party
which in two years might develop
into something unpleasant.
1t is really sad to see the factional
disturbances, for today, the demo-
cratic party which two years ago
presented solid front, may now be
said to be divided into four factions.
One is composed ofthe men who ad'
here TO the call made by the entire
democratic committee for district
meetings; the second is composed OF
those who adhere to the county con-
vention called by a part of the county
committee, the third is composed of
large number of democrats who are
unwilling to be enrolled with either
faction; and the fourth is composed
of those old democrats who are un-
willing to endorse the Chicago Con-
vention and its populistic doctrines.
The true lovers Of the party want
to see all the differences settled and
the old lines drawn and fair fight
with both parties arranged in regular
line of battle.
1t is very dangerous thing to try
to palm off on the people a set OF
principles which may be popular, but
are not democratic. If this practice
should cease, one of the difficulties
would be removed.
Let democrats send to the rear the
the men who have been creating dis
turbances in the party IN order to adj
vance their selfish, individual aspira-
tons. They boast loudly Of their
democracy, but every one of them
has an axe to grind, in fact the axes
have become so numerous that there
is not room for them on the stone.
If the party were rid Of all these sell
fish politicians, it would be strong.
If they are to continue to run the
party, we expect nothing better than
a Kilkenny fight, which will be wit
messed with much satisfaction by all
the enemies of democracy.

looked for at any time. The artillery
has been hurried forward and Gen
Shafter is thought to be about ready
for the attack. 1t is rumored that
the Spaniards have been heavily re-

which is doubted, Gen. Shaiter
