Sorting waInuts

Anaheim county, California, found
that many of the walnuts in their pos
session were light and empty, and
they cast around for some means to
rapidly handle the goods. as it was an
almost endless job to do it by hand
They finally evolved the machinery to
do it with. consisting of fOur-fOOt
blast fan, twenty inches wide, pro-
PEELED by a three-hOrse power gasO-
line engine. The fan is set revolving
very rapidly and the nuts are precipi-
tated into IL trough leading down to
the fan. whence the heavy nuts drop
into the bin made to- receive them,
while the light ones are blown into a
receptacle arranged for them further
on. The force of the wind is sufficient
to blow the lighter nuts aside, while
the good ones fall straight down.

RESOURCEFUL ENGINEERS.
Qualities Exhibited by a Corps of Eleetrf-
clans in an Emergency.


1t has been stated that one Of tht
leading qualities exhibited by electrical
engineers during the war was readi-
ness Of resource. This is well illus
trated in story told by one of the
officers of the corps. There was n
good deal of uneaSineSS about that
time around Boston, as no one knew
but that the Spanish fleet was sailing
straight for the city, and shells might
be flying within twenty-fOur hours.
On Saturday morning orders came
down to 4 squad of engineers to set
up before night complete isolated
plant for Searchnght work on one OF
the Notifications in the harbor. The
men in charge of getting the boiler
down the pay could get no suitable
boat anywhere, so they simply plugged
the holes in the boiler, rolled 1T off the
pier. hitched it to tug, and towed it
down the harbOr, kept afioat by the
air inside it. The men who had to
take down the engine and dynomO
managed to get their machines landed.
but there they waited, with apparently
no prospect of going further. On the
whole island there was only one truck
strong enough to carry the machines
from the dock to the fort, and that
was in charge of an Irishman in the
employ of the city of Boston, who
doggedly maintained that he took no
orders except from the city officials,
and the authority of the United States
government was nothing to him. 1t
was already late in the afternoon. and
there was no possibility of reaching
the office of the authorities in time
to secure the permit. The men simply
took the driver to their barracks, got
him dead drunk and did their own
driving. And the searchlight ShOne

The burglary of the Montana Cash gro
Gerry was discovered the following morn
ing by j. r. Davenport, one of the part
ners of the firm. When Mr.. Davenport ar
rived to open up in the morning he found
that the side window on Montana street
had been pried up and an entrance to
the store effected in that way. The cash
register had been opened and 81 in change
which had been left in it was gone A
small quantity of bottled goods was dis
covered to have been stolen the night the
burglary occurred and was reported, but
the other burglares were kept secret by
the chief of police, who was notified of
them. For what reason SO much secrecy
was maintained with regard to the other
burglaries is not known, unless it was
feared by Lavell that publication would
notify the burglars they had committed
burglary, or that he regarded four bur-
glares in one night as a reflection on
the police department which he did not
care to have become known. He does not
appear to have even taken Captain Ley
den or Sergeant McGrath into his conf
dence, as when questioned concerning the
burglares they said they had not heard
of them. 1t is needless to say that no
trace of the burglars has been found.

Most Interesting Senator Norris
Brilliant Address-Brief His
tory OF the Company.

Dillon, Oct. 25.-The weather was
anything but propitious when the vol
unteers of Company E who belonged to
Beaverhead county returned to Dillon
Tuesday morning for the celebration at
home after having participated in he
exercises in Butte. The drizzling rain
that had been falling for nearly sc
hours had given place to a sharp frost,
which left the streets lumpy and chop
py and anything but agreeable A chill
wind was blowing. but it little damp
ened the ardor of the hundreds who
crowded the streets and waited for the
organization of the parade.
1t was little after a. m. when the
salute was fired which announced that
the parade had formed. Then. led by
the band, there came marching into
Montana street some so of the veter-
ans of the civil war: the Dillon mem
bers of Company E, Montana volun-
teers. 80 in number; followed by ex-
members Company r, N. G. NJ; city
council, public school board, normal
school board anda faculty, normal
students, faculty city schools, $50 school
children and citizens Captain r. j.
Moore was marshal of the day, and
after parading the principal streets the
procession halted near the magnificent
arch which is erected at the intersec-
ton of Montana and Bannack streets,
where the parade disbanded
AS the weather was too cold to per-
nit of the exercises being held out Of
doors, an adjournment was had to the
Dillon theater, where, in the afternoon.
the following programme was carried
out, the immense crowd present pack
ing the room to the very doors and
standing room being at premium:
The meeting was called to order by
ex-governor B. F. White. The soldiers
of Company and the veterans of the
civil war had places of honor on the
stage. After music by the band Rev.
H. F. Cope led in prayer. Governor
White read an address of welcome and
introduced State Senator Norris to
make the welcoming speech. Mr.. Nor
ris paid a glowing tribute to the volun-
teer soldiers in general and Company e
in particular, and praised the mothers
of such men who bade them goodbye
and blessed them when they knew
that the path of the soldier often led
to the grave. He said that the star of
empire always takes it's course west
ward and it was his opinion that the
flag of the United States was planted
in the Philippines for good and all and
he honored the boys who helped place
it there.
The chairman then introduced Clerk
of Court l.. j. Price who, after a neat
off-hand speech which caught the fancy
of the boys and the audience, presented
a beautiful silk standard to the COM
pany as a present from the ladies of

the death of his brother, the task OF
presenting the keys of the city to the

At the conclusion of the exercises
Governor White called upon Lieuten-
ant Charles Virden to respond. Char
lev said his line was not speechmaking,
hut he thanked the people of Dillon
and Beaverhead county for the favors
shown the company in manner tnat
shows he will soon learn speechmaking
as well as he has learned fighting. When
he sat down the crowd almost raised
the roof off the building in a mighty
cheer for Company E. The boys re-
sponded with cheers and tiger and
the exercises at the Dillon theater were
over.
The banquet was spread in the base
ment OF the Metlen hotel, the use OF
which vas donated by Mr.. Metlen, and
the ladies of the committee virtually
owned the hotel while the banquet was
in progress. The veterans of 1876

DIDN'T GET VERY MUCH

Three burglaries and. one attempt at it.
which, for some reason the police have
kept profound secret. occurred Tuesday
night. The places visited were PaNson 4
Rockefeller drug store, Rose & Hosking
drug store. the Montana Cash grocery, at
the corner of Park and Montana streets,
and King & Lowery's saloon. The bur-
glars secured a small amount of plum
der and some money from three of the
places, but at the fourth where there was
an opportunity for a sood-sized maui
they made their exit without disturbing
anything it is supposed for the reason
that they We're frightened away before
they had time to accomplish their pur-
pose.
Paxson & Rockefeller We're the heaviest
losers the burglars securing 80 from the
rash register at their store. while at the
nther places they got very little for their
pains
Clerk David Moffit closed up at Paxson
& Rockefellers at midnight. He sleeps
In the store. but before going to bed con-
pluded he would go out and get some-
thing to eat. He was gone but very
few minutes and went back to bed, all
unconscious he had had unwelcome call
ers in his absence. The next morning he
got up at the usual time and let in the
colored porter. who, on going to the
basement to begin his work, found the
window opening on the alley in the rear
open and reported to Mr.. Moffit, who at
once knew something was wrong, and on
investigating found the cash register had
been robbed and the s25 that had been left
in the drawer gone.
Clerk W. P. Woodruff of the Rose &
Hosking drug store had almost identically
the same experience as Clerk Motif. eN-
cept that he discovered that visit had
been made to the store shortly after it
occurred and the burglars got nothing
from that store. Like Mr.. Moffit, Mr.
Woodruff closed up at midnight and went
out to eat. When he returned to the store
to go to bed he found pane of glass in
a rear window of the store had been
broken and by reaching in the back door
had been unlocked. From the fact that
nothing had been disturbed, Mr.. Wood
ruff is of the opinion that the burglars
could have no more than effected an en-
trance when they heard him coming back
and took flight. He thinks that must
have been the case for the reason that
had they made an examination of the
store they would have made a rich haul.
as intending to be gone no longer than
enough to get a cup of coffee, he did not
stop to put away the cash till his return.
and left more than $50 in the cash regis
ter and left the safe unlocked while he
was gone. Mr.. Woodruff figures that he
was in great luck in getting back when
he did.
