Mrs. S. II. Groshong got quite severely
burned Saturday afternoon by an explo-

Isaac Peterson came down town last
Tuesday for the first time since his in
jury, which occurred about ten weeks
ago. He used crutches and seemed to
get along in pretty good shape, and will
undoubtedly continue to improve right
along from now on
Through an oversight we failed 20
mention the visit last week Of Miss Aas-
we'd, superintendent of schools of Day
county, to our schools here. This is
probably the last visit Miss Aasved will
make in the capacity of superintendent.
She has made an efficient and capable
official and will leave many friends who
will wish her success.
Mrs. d. B. Tamm ha; leased the Ar,

to August Jost for a term of three years,
to begin January 1, 1901. We are very
sorry indeed to have Mrs. Tamm quit
business but we trust she is lettering
her condition. MI. Jost is practically a
new conner but is a very pleasant and
agreeable gentleman to do business with
and we bespeak a nice trade for him.

If the statement of a prominent

that there are three hundred
white girls, twelve of whom are daugh-

with Cinnamon, it would seem a wise

to mission work in New York city.

CreuxOt Guns.
From the Nineteenth Century.


Creusot or lie Creuzot'' is place in the
department of Saone-et-Loire in France
which has been long famous for its ex-
tensive iron works. 1t does not follow
however that "Creusot' gun was made at
Creusot because that name is now applied
to all the guns that are manufactured by
the great French firm Of Schneider & Co,
who in 1895 became possessed of the works
at Creusot, which, after being employed by
the state under the revolutionary govern.
ment for the manufacture of guns, were
under the empire handed back to private
owners. though still receiving large orders
for similar work from the emperor. After
the peace in 1915 the works passed through
the hands of various firms which failed in
succession, until they were purchased by
the predecessors Of the present firm. In
1867 Messrs. Schneider made themselves
famous by being the first firm fully to apply
and adapt to the manufacture of both
plates for armored ships and guns various
great invention of Bessemer for the cheap
manufacture of steel From that time
onward their works have been steadily de-
veloped. They have applied new processes
to manufacture, including the use of va
rious alloys-notably nickel, of which in its
raw state the British empire possesses al
most a monopoly-to the improvement of
their guns. They have become the owners
of a vast area of ground in the neighbor-
hood of Havre, and have there created gi-
gantfc workshops almost on as large q
scale as their works at Creusot. Thus, Gu
riously enough, it has come to pass that
mean gun Of whatever size made by the
great French firm Of Schneider & Co.,
whether it has in fact been made at Creu-
sot or at Havre.
