Silk Mil Notes.

Twenty-six looms have already been
started in the new section, making the
actual weaving machinery in operation
176 looms. The whole force of 200
looms may be running by March 5th or
10th at the latest.
Kalsominers, roof-ftters and steam
filters are availing themselves OF the
fine bright days we have had of late to
put the finishing touches to the second
floor. Probably next week the parti-
tion separating the warping department
from the wrecked place will be removed
and all machinery set up in its original
place as of old.
Loom-fxer George Preston was sick
on Monday. Twister Dick Flaherty
also was sick on the same day, probably
from effects of the same cause.
Many young girls of the winding and
quilting department had too much
sleighriding last week Some of them
caught colds and had to be excused
from work, thereby losing certain
amount of wages which would have
been theirs had they not been sleigh
ing so late at night.
Activity continues to rule at the silk
mill and almost every day huge trunks
of woven material OF every color and
every prescription of weave are shipped
to New York and then, after being fin
ished, re-shipped to all the cities Of our
prosperous Union.

laborers' organization in this par

now very antagonistic to the win
dow glass trust, with which it has
been in accord for the past two
years. The policy of the trusts is
to run short blasts, from six to
seven months annually, when form

is to prevent over-production. The
result has been the organizing of
eight cooperative companies.
-Four of these were in operation

Several skilled workmen have or

company are superior workmen

of the past as to quality. The

Americans In Filipino Army.

A Lynn, Massachusetts dispatch

in the Filipino army,
Edward S. Chester of this city,
formerly a private in Company Nj,
Seventeenth United States infan-
try, and who has Just returned
from the Philippines whore he
was two months on the firing line,
says the American soldiers who
for crimes of one sort or another,
have been dishonorably discharged
from the army, officer many of the
Filipino commands. The rebel
commanders offer large induce
ments in the way of salary and
position to any who will forsake
the American army. Chester says
these Americans are a reckless
class, and in great part to their
energy is due the tenacity of the
rebellion. He said these American
soldiers led the Filipinos in sever
al of the fercest engagements, and
play an important part in keeping
alive the spirit of rebellion among
the fragments of Aguinaldo's com
mands.n

The courage shown by the Fill

proved their natural bravery. An
intelligent native observer, Ramon
Reyes Lala who has received a
careful education both in Europe

ing the daring of his countrymen
in time of peace: "The natives

fearless in the water. | have seen
groups of boys diving thirty or
forty feet for pennies dropped in

Many swim miles with the great
est ease, and it is no uncommon

whom they fight with a fierceness

THE REASON FOR 1T.

The scramble for gold continues,
as is indicated by advices emauat-
ing every week from the great f.
nancial centers of the world, says
the Mining Record. This state Of
affairs is due in part to the curtail-
ing of the worlds supply through
the shutting down of the South
African mines, which is beginning
to be felt now. More particularly
is it traceable to the enormous in
crease in the volume of business
throughout the world, Never be-
fore in history were commercial
conditions so prosperous as in the
closing year of the nineteenth cen
tury, and this increase has created
a corresponding demand for the
medium of exchange money. The
foreign markets are being scraped
bare for the necessary gold. Mon
ey lenders abroad are fearing that
the American sourceof money sill
be intercepted by home consump-
ton since the South African
source has been shut off through
conditions of war Along with
this comes the heavy borrowing
in London by the municipalities;
all of which conspire to raise the
rate on money, thus creating u
dear money market There is but
one relief, and that is in the in
creasipg gold production of the
world 1t cannot be hoped that
with the slender help to be ex-
pected from the Rand the impend-
ing conditions can be met success
fully. Russia is more than using.
up her supply: France can give
no aid; England is beggar for
gold; therefore the United States
is looked to to render assistance.
This country will make substan-
tial increase in its production of
gold when the figures for the year
are announced, but unless it in
creascs its production to greater
limit than the present Indications
point to, it will be losing race.
However, from every mining camp
in the state and surrounding min
ing regions come reports of streR-
uous efforts to increase the gold
output during the last quarter of
the year 1t is the duty Of every
mine in this section of the coun-
try to endeavor to relieve the situ-
alton, and it is encouraging to note
that every camp is responding to
the call. However, much greater
production than is. now being
made can hardly be looked for.
The labor market of Colorado is
drained, so to to speak, of every
able bodied man, the mines are
crowding production day and night
With but forty days left to the
year, Colorado aud her neighbors
are bending to the herculean task
of making the output of gold com
with the demand.

Hermit Hepp Lived the Life of
RecIuse.
Found Dead With His Devoted
Dog on Guard.
KILLED AN OFFICER.
While In the German Army
Had a Duel
With a Lieutenant Over a Con-
cealed Love Affair.

Red Bud, Ill, Dec. 16-George Hepp,
an old German hermit who has lived in
the vicinity of Red Bud for the last ten
years, is dead. He was found in an un-
conscious condition yesterday morning
by John Korstetter, a farmer, who hap
pened to be passing and was attracted
by the strange actions OF HeppS dOS,
which was running in and out Of the
open door of the hovel in which Hepp
lived, bowling dismally.
He came to Red Bud in 1889, from
where. no one knew, and had led a
secluded life since. He Stunned all in
tercOurse with his neighbors. He sell
dom even cOnVerSed with the men for
whom he worked, and could never be
induced to eat meal any place except
in his own cabin On some occasions
he had worked for farmers three or
four miles away, but would always
walk home at night after the days
work was done, and back in the morn
ing carrying his midday lunch in a pail
For a time his actions aroused the
latent curiosity that is a characteristic
of every rural community, to the fullest
extent, but, after a time, people were
content to let him live unmOleSted, and
he was seldom spoken of unless some
stranger happened into the neighbOr
hood and, coming in contact with him,
would temporarily revive interest in
him by inquiries.
Numerous attempts to interrogate
him in regard to his life failed to elicit
any definite or satisfactory reply.
In a diary and bundle of manuscript
found in the bed on which the old man
died is revealed the strange story of
his life. A commission from the Ger
man government proves him to have
been a captain in an artillery regiment
of the German army.
The diary gives a detailed account
of how he had killed a fellow officer, a
lieutenant, in a duel over a love affair,
during the Franco-Prussian war, after
which he fed the country to escape
cOurt-martial. After roaming over a
large part of the United States he came
to this neighbOrhOOd.
Among the documents is the chal-
Ienge received py him from the lieu
tenant whom he killed
