This dye brings TO rhe brush the green
ish tint characteristic of good brooms
and color the rid portions of the stUc.:
to the uniform 'hue
into a great covered box. through the
bottom OF which arise the fumes OF
burning sulphur. This process o:
bleaching brings to the corn the proper
yellow body color and leaves the corn
In condition to be easily cut with the
knives and machines of the workmen.
After being bleached the corn Is
thrown on a large table. where Ii Is
sorted. IL is then turned over TO the
winder, who builds up the broom on a
machine peculiarly crude for one
which does such good work. The ma
chine consists Of tablelike arrange
ment. at the edge Of which is a revolv-
ing hollow shaft into which a ready
made broom handle. can be placed and
there securely clamped.
A spindle of broom wire is arranged
so as to conveniently play upon the
broom handle as 1t revolves with the
hollow shaft. Power is supplied by
means Of a squirrel cage" so that the
machine can be turned forward and
controlled at will and can be reversed.
In the lower end Of every broom ham
die n small hole is bored. and when the
workman has placed handle in the
winder the end Of the wire Is passed
through this hole. and few twists Of
the machine firmly bind 1t in place
Under the angle of the wire, stretched
from the spindle feeder to the broom
handle. the workman places a bunch
OF the ''insiding." or coarser straw.
and gives the handle another turn by
means of the squirrel cage arrange
ment.
The stub ends of the straws are then
trimmed of with knife and a strap
is slipped around the whole. fastened
so as to hold the flying straws I'm place.
The workman then takes two large
punches Of the finer straws (the cover
ingl and as the broom handle is re-
vOlyed he dexterously spreads the COW
ering around the whole mass. This
coating OF the finer straw Is repeated,
and the whole Is again held in place
by a strap. The ends of the finer
straw are trimmed and the wire is fas-
tened by a tack. around which it is
wound.
A lock" or tin covering of fancy
shape and design, Is tackled on the
handle so as to cover the ends of the
straws. and a string replaces the strap
as the broom Is unclamped from the
machine to be passed to the prcsser
and sewer. The finishing process is
the trimming of the broom off square
at the end.
1t takes about two and a half acres
to raise a ton of brush. The broom
trade of the United States consumes
about $4,000 tons of brush, and of this
the country tributary to ArcOla fur
nishes about 81 900 tons. Local buyers
pay out every year through the two
banks OF this city as much as a million
dollars for broom corn. There is a
good profit In raising the corn at $40
and $50 ton. When 1t rises to its
present price. 1t Is better than a gold
mine.
Some years ago Arcola had a broom
corn fair and a broom corn palace.
which gave the town considerable
prominence in pictorial weeklies. This
year the broom corn Is going into pal
aces. for its raisers and the people are
too busy to think of fairs even if the
industry still needed advertisement.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 1S.-Detective
Parker, of this city, and Detective
OLaughlin, of Buffalo, have secured five
affdavits from persons who ATTENDED the
meetings held by Emma Goldman here.
They are to the effect that hcr utterances
were of anarchistic and infammatory ma
ture. The affidavits will be used as a
basis in securing extradition papers for
her removal 10 Buffalo

landlord who owns the house in which the
Czolgosz family live, to order them odt

The oplice have failed absolutely to in
any way to connect Czolgosz's move
ments with those Of Emma Goldman. His
family deny that he had any of her liter
ature in his possession and none could be
found who had ever seen him at any of
her meetings.
