the task of painting the great iron
tank of the water tower, the extreme
height of which Is 1876 feet above terra

sing of bright carmine, which not only
preserves the iron but is ornamental
as well. It will require several days
to complete the job.

WILL CLOSE DOWN THE MILLS.
Unless Cotton Goods Advance or Cot

bOA 0CCAluCSs
A gentleman in Americas Yesterday
stated that the rapid advance in TIE
price of cotton was giving some of the
mill men fright. The price of cotton
goods is low as compared with the
price of raw cotton, and the mill men
are likely to be squeezed. He quoted
a prominent and successful mill presi-
dent near Atlanta as having declared
that unless the price of cotton declined
somewhat or the price of manufactured
goods advanced within the week that
he would be compelled to close down
his mills next Monday until the value
of the two commodities get nearer
together.

BROUGHT HIM BETTER FIGURES
Difference in Price in Sale of Two
Bales Cotton.

The average colored farmer looks
more at the actual amount of money
paid for bale of cotton than at frac-
tional figures and weights. One of
these sold a good bale yesterday at
10t cents or better, and received the
amount of $58. rs for it. He said that
he sold bale equally as good at this
date last year and received only $27. 25
for fit. Thus his cotton this year
brings more than twice the amount
realized last year.

BIG PLANT BURNED.
Ing Company, mt Alexandria. Ind,
DcstrOyed-LOss,T SOO,O0O.

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 20.-A Senti-
mel special from Alexandria, Ind,
says: The entire plant of the Kelly
AK Manufacturing company, valued
at 100000, was destroyed by fire Sun
day evening. This was one of the
largest factories in this city and the
largest AK factory in the world, en-
ploying some 500 or 1000 men when
running at full force. The plant was
operated all year, never stopping more
than one week at time to take stock.
The company has just enlarged the fac
tory, increasing the output fully one
third. The plant was well insured.
The factory was located north of the
city, outside the corporation, and the
fire department could not render any
assistance. The fire cut off the water
supply of the factory, and left no
means of fighting the flames.
The fire started in the grinding de-
partment of the AK factory. a strong
wind carried the flames to the pump
house and doomed the entire works to
destruction. In short time the
whole plant, covering ten acres, was
reduced to ashes. 1t was the only
plant not in the trusts, was valued at
nearly a million dollars, and although
in the hands of a receiver, was ex-
pected to be taken out of the receivers
hands next January. So far as known
no one was hurt

WHAT OF THE FUTUREs
Some Predictions Relative to the Next
step to he Taken with Ref
erence to China.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Now that the
primary object for which the allied
armies marched upon Picking, viz, the
rescue of the besieged legationers, has
been accomplished, the drift of discus
sion in official and diplomatic circles
reverts to the next step to be taken.
Necessarily many of the predictions
as to what this will be are purely con-
jectural, as 1t is realized that COM
plete and definite information regard
ing the condition of affairs in Picking
must be awaited before any positive
action can be taken by the govern
ments whose interests have suffered
as n result of the Chinese troubles.
The presumption here is that the next
move made will be an agreement for
an armistice. This may be undertake
en- by the commanders of the Chinese
army and those of the allies on the
spot where the fighting, according to
the latest reports from Picking, APP
pears still to be in progress.
This accomplished, the question Of
the withdrawal of the foreign armies,
the payment of indemnities, and~many
other problems may be left to COM
missions duly appointed to adjudicate
them. Ii Hung Chang has already
been appointed plenipotentiary by
his government to negotiate terms of
peace, and in this capacity he made
an Intellectual attempt to stop the
progress of the allies in their march
on Picking. Whether Earl Lii will be
continued in that capacity by the inn
perial' government is not known here,
but such seems altogether probable.
as with his well-known ability and his
acquaintance with the world, he would
be able to make possibly better terms
than any other Chinaman.
There are IL nations which have
suffered as result of the Chinese dis
turbances. All will expect a settle
ment of damages which have resulted
from the Boxer outbreaks, the murder
of missionaries, and the destruction Of
legation property. Spain is one of
these, although she has not particle
pated in the relief expedition, she has
suffered alike with the others, and
will expect to be Unidentified for her
losses.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
up to this time there have been no ex-
changes between the United States
and the other powers regarding the
steps TO be taken in the future TO
bring China to terms for the losses
that have been incurred. Z he sole in
terest of the United States up to this
time has been the rescue of the lega-
TONERS. which is now an accomplished
fact. Informal discussion has taken
place between the president and his
cabinet as TO what this government
will do TO secure reparation for losses,
but the conclusions reached are pure
w tentative and in no sense definite.

CAPTURES 1900 BRITISH.
A Brilliant Military Vancouver Is Ex-
ecuted by Gen. De Wet, the
Boer Commanders.

Delagoa Bay, Aug. 20.--Gen. De Wet
has defeated the British and captured
1000 men, according to reports here
from Boer sources. Gen. De Wet,
who is the Morgan of the war in
the Transvaal, gave Lord Roberts the
slip, escaping from that generals in
Vulnerable traps and succeeding in
effecting a junction with Gen. Delar-
ey. Then he turned suddenly upon
the British and defeated them. cap
turing seven guns and 1000 prisoners.
This successful maneuver on the part
of the Boer general stamps him as
the greatest military leader in South
Africa. Every general in the Brit
ish service had De Wet in a trap at
one time or another. Kitchener and
Butler had reduced their commands to
shadow chasing him hundreds of
miles over veldt and kopje, and now
he has net only escaped, but turned
and gave them terrible blow.

HELPED THE CHIEF.
How Loyal Engineer Did His Brother
Great Service.

Great Service.
Meadville, Pa, Nov. IL, 19OO.--(Spe
tal.)~-The Loyalty of the Members OF
the brotherhood of Locomotive Ergi-
neerS is proverbial A circumstance oc-
CARED in this city some days ago,
WGivi emphasizes this feeling.
Frank j. Zeller is chief of the Broth
er:ood of Locomotive Engineers No.
l43. He is extremely popular among
his FELLOW railway men, and one OF the
best known engineers running out of
Meadville. When the announcement
WAS made I, short time ago that Frank
was pretty sick, it cauSed,a great deal
OF regret among the boys. Soon he
was missed from his engine, having
had to LAY off, on account OF his back.
\ brother Of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, who had been i'll
with similar symptoms some time be-
2cre, and who had been pulled through,
called to see Mr.. Zeller, and in broth
crly way took with him a box of
Dodu's Kidney Pills. the remedy which
had cured him. He advised Mr. Eel
ler TO try them, with the result that
after seven boxes had been used he
was entirely well. and able to work.
In an interview Mr. Zeller states:
Il had suffered for four years with
this attiiction, being often kept awake
at night with pains, and at times I'M
able to work. I tried several Of the
advertised remedies. and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally,
member of our order, who had been
cured Of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought ME a box, and
asked me to try them. I had little faith
III them, but as drowning man grasps
at a straw to help him, so l took the
pills. I used seven boxes, and am to-
day as we'll and strong a man as there
is in Pennsylvania"
Naturally, Mr.. Zeller feels very crate
full. and his complete recovery has de-
lighted his many friends, and none
more than the good brother, who feels
that he was instrumental in saving the
life OF the chief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to
cure Kidney Trouble.

CAVES INHABITED BY BATS.
Market for Guano-Like Substance
Found in Them.


Found in Them.
Certain portions of southern New Mex
leo are literally infested with bats, which
until recent years have been considered
an unmixed evil, although it is we'll
known that they destroy large numbers
of insects. About two years ago, how
ever, several caves, one of them some
six miles in length, were accidentally dis
covered. Countless numbers of these
bats used these caves and evidently
had used them for years as sort Of
roost during the day. And as result
on the floor of the caves was thick
deposit OF sort of guano-like substance.
fertilizer e
The owner :sof the caves has already
sold over 100 tons of this material at
$4S ton, and the supply is not yet ex-
hausted: \ fact of considerable inter-
est. as bearing on the probable continu-
ance of the deposit, is that, so far. as
long as the small holes through which
the bats gain entrance are not disturbed
they continue to use the caves for raost-
ing places, as of old.
