ARMY CANTEEN SYSTEM.
A Committee of the Metho odist General
Conference Condemns High Officials
for Their Attitude on This Question

Chicago, May 15.-The Methodist
conference committee on temper
ance. of which Samuel Dickie, OF
Michigan, is chairman and of which
Congressman johnson. of North Da-
kota, author and champion of the
anti-canteen law, is a member, adopt
ed resolutions Monday which in the
minds of a number of the committee
men are direct slap at President
Mckinley, because of his acquicscence
in the decision of Attorney General
Griggs declaring the law ineffective.
The resolutions are a portion of
the report of a subcommittee into
whose hands the task of preparing
the committees report to the gener-
al conference had been placed and
was adopted in the face of Il motion
to substitute for it minority report
from DR.. Price. of the New York con
ference. after two hours debate in
which the members alternately ar
raigned and championed President
Mckinley in his stand on the anti
cantecn law. The report is as fol-
lows:
''We are, however, chagrined. hui
inflated and eNasperated by the puer-
lie and absurd construction placed
upon the anti-canteen law So-called,
by the attorney general of the United
States. and with all due respect to his
exalted station we record the fact
that we are panied and disappointed
at the course of the president in ac-
cepting as final and satisfactory an
p,,it,in,, ,,-ithn,t hinfliIrr fn
an abuse of power is nullifcation in
its most dangerous form.
Upon the president, as command
er-in-chief of our army, rests the re-
sponsibility for the canteen saloon,
an evil which he has ample power to
suppress and which, to quote the
episcopal address, is a more deadly
foe to the soldier than bullet or trop-
jc heat
We urge upon the president an
early exercise of the power vested in
him, to the end that the authority OF
the government, instead of being used
to place temptation before the sol
dier, shall be used to save him. as far
as possible, from the moral hazards
incident to military life"
After stormy session the commit
tee on episcopacy decided to recon-
mend to the general conference that
two new bishops be elected to pro-
vide for possible deaths on the board
during the next four years. The body
voted down report from a Sub-com-
mittee in favor of pctitoning he con-
ference to elect colorcd bishop. In
stead of making direct rccommen-
dation on this question the committee
will report revised version of the
declaration adopted by the confer
ence in 1896. recognizing the qualif-
cation of coIored men to fill the high
office and admitting the need of col
OrCd leader to direct the religious
work among his people in the south.
The result is taken as defeat of
the movement to secure the election
of colored man as bishop at this
conference. as the leaders started out
with the determination to give spe-
citic instructions to the conference.

The annual report of the Des Moines
public library contains the number Of
books that were worn out during the
year 1899. The readers were out one
religious book, eight literature, two
biography, two history, two travel, 346
fiction and 3l2 juvenile. 1t may be
granted that those who read the more
serious works have cleaner hands and
take better care of their books than the
readers of fiction, and it is true that the
children are most careless. 1t is also
true that works of fiction are loosely
bound, for the publishers know that
they are perishable goods seldom
worthy of preservation. The statistics,
however, prove clearly that the great
majority of people are novel readers,
and that the pubic library supplies that
class with its reading matter.

BIG WHEELS WILL TURN.
Union Mill Will Turn Out Gold
Brick in Three Weeks.
Continued from Saturday,

The ore is then ready for the
roasters, where the sulpher and
other impurities are burned out of
it. The roasting department of
the Union Gold Extraction com
pany is located in the largest
roaster building in the country.
1t is $40 feet in length and 100 feet
wide. The building will accom-
modate six large roasters and three
automatic coolers. Four of the
former and two of the latter are
now in place, and the foundations
for the others have been built.
This building also contains large
bins in which the cooled ore is
stored. until it leaves through
automatic conveyors for the chlori-
nation department. There is alb
solutely no handling of the ore in
this department, or in any other,
for that matter, from the time the
ore is shoyeled off the cars.
The chlorination department, or
barrel house, is Immediately west
of this, and the cooled ore from the
roasting department is automatic
ally conveyed to the "barrels" on
the top floor. There are eight bar
rels of l2s tons capacity each.
The building contains also four
tanks holding l25 tons of solution
each, three l00-ton precipitating
tanks and six filter presses. In
this department the powdered ore
is treated chemically with a mix
ture of chloride of lime and
sulphuric acid, and the gold is
precipitated in the form of chic
ride. This is converted to the
solid form of a sulphide and it is
from this sulphide that the gold is
finally extracted by the melting
process. When the chloride solu-
ton is drawn from the barrels
there remains the refuse ore, or
"tailings." This was thrown away
until few years ago, when the
Whitley table" was invented.
In this machine the inventor
took advantage of the difference
between the specific gravity of
gold and that of the other sub,
stances composing the ore, and
devised plan for saving gold
which could not be extracted
pro6tably by any other process
These tables save any gold that
remains in the ore after treatment
by the chemical process. There
are sixteen dou ble-decked rough
ing" tables and four finishing"
tables.
The product from this and the
chlorination departments is taken
to the melting room. Here are two
dou BILE muffied furnaces for burn
ing the sulphide, and two melting
furnaces. This room is substan-
tial brick building with cement
floor. 1t has barred windows and
doors and reminds one of a Jail
1t contains burglar and fire proof
vault also.
The sampIing department is a
very important one. Here samples
of ore.are prepared with the great
est care, from the assays of which
the value of a whole car is calcu-
lated
The whole plant is model one
in every particular, and has a
greater capacity than any other
mill of the kind in the country.
