MANY USES OF THE WHISKY BAR
REL.

Roanoke World: A whisky barrel of
the highest grade costs from SIS to S2.lo>
and it is the most expensive of all barrels.
It is made of heavy. selected, kiln-dried
oak, free from sap-a handsome and sub
stantial package. Such barrels are made
in great coOpCrages in the west, in the
reighborhood of the dis:illeries, and in
proximity when possible to the forests
from which the materials for them are
taken. Whisky barrels of the best grade
used to cost from 81 to 50. Machinery
has been brought more and more into use
in making them, with the result that they
are now cheaper than ever before.
These barrels are likely to be filled with
whisky and stored for three years or
more before they arc shipped. When a
barrel has found It's way to this market
aud into the hands of the final distributor,
and has been emptied, it is brought to a
dealer in barrels. There are coopers and
dealers in new and second hand barrels
who buy all the barrels that offer, and
send out and gather up barrels, which
they buy and sell in great numbers.
Bought in this manner, the whisky bar
rel is inspected and put in order, if it re-
quires any repair, and sold, it may be. to
"A wholesale dealer in liquors, to be used
for hlend.d liquors; but it is much more
likely not again to be used as a liquor
package, but to be sold for a vinegar or a
cider barrel. In this use it is not likely
again to get as far away from New York
as the point whence it or sinallX same,
and when it gets back here and has been
again emptied it is sold again to the deal
er. In the course of its use and travel it
may come to need repairs, a new stave or
two. or new hoops. 1t is put in order and
sold again.
When it has ceased to be useful as a
vinegar or a cider barrel, gradually wear
ing out, and becoming cheaper, it is sold
as a pickle barrel or for sauerkraut, and
finally it is likely to become a tar barrel,
and after that it is broken up and de-
stroyed.
Not counting the time that it may spend
in storage before its first shipment, the
whisky BARRELS likely to last through the
various stages of it's existence, from the
time it starts out until the end, two or
three years, though much depends upon
the care taken of it; carefully handled it
may last 10 years or more. The whisky
barrel holds As gallons.
There's a cheaper whisky barrel. also
made of oak, but of lighter materials, that
costs from SIS to 81. which is used large
ly by eastern distillers. Great numbers OF
the heavy barrels are used, larger num-
beers still of the higher barrels, which, like
the heavy barrels, are made in cOoperages
in the neighborhood OF the distillers in
which they are first used, Of materials
drawn from the forests Of the region ir
which they are situated, or of shocks
brought from the west. The life of the
lighter barrel is about the same as tina
of the heavier barrel, and it is put to tht
same uses. OF the lighter barrels. how.
ever, thousands. after the first enlptying
are sold to go to Scotland.

ALWAYS

New York Sun: Il have noticed a pc
culiar thing about r~attlesnakes,' said
Simon Kent of Clinton county. Pennsyl-
vania, land that is that if I'm trout fish,
ing and the trout are biting good l am
always sure of running across all the
rattlesnakes any rattlesnake hunter
would care to find in a day foraglng Tor
them; but if the trout are not biting L
wont run across a RATHER maybe all day:
l don't know why it is, of course, any
more than l know why it is that there are
always rattlesnakes where there are
! trout and huckleberries, and that there
is never malaria where you find that
! combination of reptile. fish and fruit. In
| stead of a locality's being be-
| cause rattlesnakes abound there 1t should
be just the place for people to seek, be-
cause wherever rattlesnakeS are 1ounu
there you will find a healthful region. l
am speaking now of our own brllllant
and up-to-snuff rattlesnake, and not the
lazy, overgrown. vindictive RATHER of
Florida and Texas. Wherever you find
an overcheerful RATHER giving forth his
music and telling you to watch out, there
you will find the purest water, the fresh
est air. the dryest, highest land. AS long
as you live in a country where you nave
to kick a RATHER off your doorstep every
now and then you needn't be afraid OF
chills and fever sneaking across your
threshold.
"Clinton county used to be the finest
region for rattlesnakes that any one could
nave found in a years search. | can re-

some of the creeks in the higher parts

Four Firemen Were Killed
in Omaha
TAKING DOWN A LADDER
When It Came Into Contact With a
Wire That Was Very Heavily
Charged-One Man Walked a Long
Distance Before Dropping.

Omaha, Aug. 9.-Four firemen lost their
lives tonight in a blaze in an upper floor
of the Mercer Chemical company. The
fire in itslef was insignificant, the fatall-
ties resulting from contact with a live
wire. The dead firemen are:
JOSEPH ADAMS, lieutenant engine
OTTO KATE, ladderman.
GEORGE BENSON, pipeman, No. en-
CINE company.
CHARLES HOPPER, relief driver No.
3 engine company.
Firemen George Farer and Albert Ais
ton also suffered severely. The fire orlgl-
mated among the chemicals in a store
room on the fifth floor" and while at no
time was the building, a five-story brick
structure, in danger, the blaze burned
fiercely in a small area. Two streams
were thrown to the seat of the ire IRON
a ncighboring roof, and the other from
the summit of a long ladder.
When the fire was eXtinguished there
was a sudden spluttering and a series o.
flashes as occur when a connection i:
made with a live wire carrying a higi
voltage of electricity. The men who were
working at the crank lowering the ladde1
writhed in agony for a homer and thef
fell to the pavement limp and apparent!
lifeless. In lowering the ladder it hat
come in contact with a live electric wire
carrying a current of 200 volts.
The injured men were at once carried
into an adjoining building n doctors
who were present used every mean
known to revive them. Hopper revived II
a few minutes, and, saying he was al
right, started to walk away. He had onl.
gone about so feet when he dropped dead
kaetz showed signs of reviving. but Whel
only partially rallied san back and eX
pired. The other two never at any tim
showed any signs of animation. and Wer
doubtless dead when picked up.

Hamilton, Aug. 8.
Hamilton, with all its attractions, has
one raWback in it's development. 1t
does not possess, as yet, the settled at
%mosphere characteristic Of so many older
towns. The population is constantly
changing; people keep coming and going,
both the desirable and undesirable class,
and a floating population is not a benefit
TO any community. No finer residence
town than Hamilton is to be ound in the
west, Judging from it's location and sur
~loundings. When people will come here
prepared to settle Town and make perma-
nent homes for themselves, their chill
dren and their grandchildren, and be-
come really interested in the growth and
prosperity of the town, as their town, IN
whose welfare they have a voice and in
