Der 20. recently exhibited two days in

Gus had departed the Washington Times
commented as follows:
Human nature" said Eugene Field,
lis not proof against time. tide and
cireuses." Certainly nothing since the
ceremonies attendant upon the inausur-
alton of President Mckinley has drawn
forth SO dense a mass of humanity as
did the Wallace circus cavalcade. OF
the parade Itself only the most favora-
BILE things can be said. Some sixty
cages were In line, each one contain
ing its portion OF the big mcnagerie.
A feature of the procession was in
the fact that the horses shown were,
without exception, remarkably fine.
Even the animals used In drawing the
cages were apparently of good blood,
and were certainly well groomcd. With
the racers the lineage was lndisputahle.
Slim ankles, delicate nostrlls, muscular
shoulders and long fetlocks all attested
to their birth and breeding. Especially
beautiful were the eight steeds attacfisa
to the Roman chariots In line. These
were sorted In two fours o. precise
color aud probably drove what Ken
tHekians there may have bean along thr
route into n fire OF enthusiasm only
quenchabie by the other two products
OF the Blue Grass state. A score OF
Shetland ponies made up the list Of
horses, and Justified the Wallace claims
to keeping the finest stable on the road.

the queens way OF showing that 1.-THE

4 Substantial Mill.

The obstruction work on the new
National mill is something that hereto
fore has been foreign to mill construc-
ton in this part of the country.
To begin with, the foundations
were laid with q view of defying the
destroying power of nature, represent
ed largely by water, and were large
brick pillars, laid On a foundation Of
crushed brick concrete. Instead OF
using lime mortar in building the
pillars, cement was used. On top Of
each pillar and between the brick and
the ,siIls, was laid q layer of slate to
avoid much of the dampness that
would come through the brick.
The timbers of the building are
made exceptionally strong, and iron
plates cap each upright post, upon
which rest the main beams supporting
the floors. The mill building is put
together, in all its parts, in such 8
way that it can be taken down with.
out much extra trobuble. This. was
not done by the company with the
thought Of doing such a thing, SO il
is claimed, but as . precautionary
measure.-Crowley Signal.

Postmaster Labit's big store is
slowly moving down Lafayette street,
having made the turn from Washing
ton street, Thursday evening. Owing
to the size and weight its progress
has been very slow and contractor
John H. Erwin and Ursin. Langlinais
the house movers have had an up
hill job of it. When they get on
State street, 1t will be cause for
much congratulation as well as re-
joicing,
