Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1900-02-13

John b. Castleman, the adiutant gen
eral. Upon him will devolve the duty
of CARRYING out Gov. Beckham's pur-
pose to protect his associates from
armed interference. whether it come
from Frankfort or London, or both.
Little can be learned of these defen-
sive plans. Gen. Cas,.eman declared
no steps had been taken toward organ
izing a military force.
The only purpose of the proposed mill
tary organization" said he, "is to main
tain peace, and so long as there is no dis
turbance and civil authority .es there
will be no need for the use of military
force"
Won't Submit to Arrest.
The democratic legislators are not
so careful of arrest as they have been
of late.
I'VE will not submit TO arrest" said
Speaker Trinlble I'VE know our rights,
and will call upon the civil authorities
TO protect us in our resolve TO resist any
attempt of republican force to take us 10
London or any ether place."
II fully concur with Speaker Trinlble,"
said President Carter of the senate. We
will not be arrested. This is the shortest
ly in this matter, If any attempt 10 arrest
is made, and we expect the local authorities
to aid US in our efforts 10 protect our rights.
We will not go to London"
Both houses of the legislature met
at noon and after the transaction OF
some legislative business of no gen
eral interest took recess until three
o'clock.
The democratic leaders say nothing
more will be done by them in the mat
ter of the peace negotiations. They
say they came to an agreement with
seven accredited agents OF the repub-
lican administration, which agree
ment was signed Wy all of the IA con-
ferees. The republicans, they say,
gave assurances that the terms they
made would be accepted by Gov. Tay-
lor. One clause of the agreement,
they say, was that things should re-
main in status quo until next Mon
day and the democrats regard the pro-
ceedings before the federal court at
Cincinnati and Gov. Taylor's message
to the London Legislature, asking that
warrants be sworn out for the arrest
of absent members. as a departure
from the spirit of the agreement.
The republicans now in the city
who We're present at the conference
refuse TO make any statement as to
the present condi ions of the confer
ence of last Tuesday. One of them
Lieut.. Gov. John Marshall, has gone to
London, to attend the session of the
republican legislature there.
Republicans Meet aud Adjourn.
London, KY, Feb. l2.-Both houses

sided in the senate. Both houses i'm.

In 1913 Napoleon in order to in
crease the popularity OF an issue of
5-franc pieces, announced that several
bonds redeemable at 5000 francs each
had been inserted in coins of the issue.
Dispatches from Binghamton, ". Y,
state that ]. w. Hoban who opened a
saloon recently in Waverly, took a s.
franc piece over the bar. Having read
OF Napoleon's announcement, and no.
tlcing the date on the coin, he opened
the latter and found a slip Of paper
which, presented at a French bank
through the banking house of Roger
Ryan, was cashed for 81, 500. the
amount of the bond with interest to
date.

CRUDE AFFAIRS.

The tympan frame was hinged to the
carriage, and the frisket to the tym-
pan frame almost exactly as OF the
old washington press, familiar TO
many of us. The outer and inner tym-
pan frames were covered with skins
yellum, parchment or sorrels: and
these materials were thus used for
many years. The packing between
them was a blanket, and 1t had to be
freshened up occasionally by soaking
and rubbing to meet requirements at
that state of the art. The frame when
up to receive the sheet inclined back
wards to a transverse bar called the
gallows; and the frisket up and back
TO Office wall, or cleat of wood from Lne
ceiling. Indeed, many of the presses
at that time were erected with such
circumspection as to predetermine the
office wall the frisket-stay.
The forms were locked in chases
with hard wood tapered quoins, and
secured to the press bed by similar
means. Chases were made in dupli-
Gates. barred for convenience in varia-
BILE book forms-eighths, twelves, etc.
mixing DEVICE.
The inking-ball stocks were cones OF
wood, whose hollow ends afforded re-
ception for the wool with which they
were padded; the opposite ends being
shaped to comfortably fit the hand of
the ink man. They were faced with
pelts or sheep-skin, selected with care
rs to grain and texture. Like the COM
position roller known to US, under GER
tain conditions OF weather they re-
luired "doctoring."
II toe dry, damp. oily or cold, they
would not work. The accidental spill
ing of treacle upon a set of these
which had been cleaned up for the aft
srnoon work, opened the way for the
potter stroller" to the print-shop.
This was as late as 1926; though some
of the earlier power presses used a
leather faced roller; not long now
ever.
HOW THEY mixed.
The ink was taken from the slab by
a rocking, rolling motion-the balls
being pressed and rolled one against
the other to insure good distribution,
then delivered TO the forms by to-and-
tro motion called beating up the
forms" Three 'beatings'' was the
rule, on particular work, for zach i'm

in which the hole is so large and the
