The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1899-09-06

One of Funston's men writes that in
the latest engagement, near San Fer
nando the general went into battle at
the head of his brigade, composed of
Kansas, Montana and Utah troops.
When the fight started, however, Gen.
Funston forgot that he was in command
of brigade and, leaving his staff, order
ly, horse and all, he joined the Kansas
boys on foot and personally gave them
orders as he led them to the charge.

REMOVING WOOL FROM SKINS
the Work with Neatness
and Dispatch.

It has always been problem how to
get the wool of the skins of the many
millions of sheep which are annually
slaughtered in Australia, South Amer
lea and on the continent of Europe. An
electrical apparatus for the purpose has
been patented, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. The invention, the first
idea of which Is said TO have been
struck by lady, consists of an electric
cautery or fieshing knife, by which the
wool may be shorn from the skin rapid
ly and without injury either to the wool
or the pelt. The knife has very short
and very wide blade, which is fitted on
a handle electrically connected. TO re-
move the wool the cautery is simply
pushed along the surface of the skin.
The red-hot knife instantly mows down
work can be done is governed by the
dizziness of the operator The heat need
not affect either the skin or the wool,
provided that the knife is properly
manipulated. With few hours prac-
tice, il is estimated, a girl can dewool
from eight to a dozen skins per hour,
and the cost of the current should be
not greater than one cent for Is hours
work. The advantages of the system
are that the wool need not be injured
by lime, chemicals or other deleterious
influences, and the mere singing of the
end of each fiber is imperceptible. 1t is
claimed that the skin, which presum-
ably has been sun dried in Australia or
South America, Immediately after the
Strengthening of the sheep, is in more
perfect condition for the purposes of
the tanner. The estimate of the cost of
such operations shows the great econ
omy of the electrical method of de-
wooling. 1t now costs the fellmonger
eight cents a skin TO wet down, lime
stone, or sweat the skin into condition
for the puller, and the pulling wages
range from IL cents to II cents per doz-
en- skins.

ANNISTON
Christian Preacher Gets Into Trouble
 by Assailing Two Ministers

Anniston, June s.-(Speclal)-There is quite a fight on in church circles here be- tween Rev. J. V. Updike, a Christian church or Campbellite evangelist from h. diana, who has erected a tabernacle hero and is conducting a big series of meetings, on the one side, and several ministers of other denominations on the other.
 The local ministers claim that MT. Updike has been assailing them, drawing their members from them and sowing heresy and discord broadcast in all of the churches. Updike says these charges are made by de- signing men and are false. There have been several sensational tilts at the taber- nacle between MT. Updike and local Meth odist and Baptist churches, and now Rev. J. G. Johnson, pastor of St. Pauls Method 1st church: Rev. J. Watson Bradford, of the West Anniston Methodist church, south and others have started an opposi- ton meeting for the purpose of exposing MT. Updike's alleged fallaoes and counter acting his influences. One of the subjects for discussion at the opposition meeting is: Why I Am Not a Campbelite."

 One of the most capable and charming vocalists in the cast was Miss Mackey, who had the role of "Clarinda-" She possesses a sweet voice and knows well how to use it. And she acted well, too.
 In closing these notes on the opera 1t would seem but simple justice to pay a tribute to Miss Drennen, the pianist. On- ly those who attended the rehealsals could form any idea of her arduous and patient work. And she was not only faith full, but efficient. In the performance she played with the orchestra and acquitted herself throughout in the most admirable manner.
 Miss Daisy Rowley, the composer and director of the opera, has been congratu- lated on every side. Birmingham is proud of her. The melodies that she composed will haunt those who attended the opera for years to come. Some of the arias will doubtless be published for use in the par Tor and on the concert stage. 4
