CASTS MONEY IN AIR.
ubilant HOpman Gives Away
500 In NiCkeIS,

Dallas. Or. Oct. 25-About 1000 people
witnessed 400 children scramble for 500
worth OF nickels, on the Courthouse
Square, this afternoon. Two weeks
ago Hon. w. G. Brown announced that
should the price OF hops ever reach 20
cents a pound he would throw away
500.
Mr.. Brown had grown hops for a num-
ber of years, and sold them for s or 10
or II cents. In conversation with some
friends one day he asserted that he did
not believe that the price would ever
reach 20 cents again, and offered, should
it do 80, to throw away 800 in coin.
Last week he sold his hop crop for %
cents, and Immediately announced that
he was prepared to fulfll.his promise.
The nickel-throwing affair came off
today, with great crowds of children in
The sowing was on the

MIssIssIPPPs GREATNESS.

Among all of Mississippi's gifted
and talented sons, none are more de-
voted to her interests than Senator
H. d. Money. He always defends
and praises his native state and does
it in such a way as to command the
attention of the best people of the
country. From Washington paper
the following is taken:
Senator Fl. d. Money, of Missis-
sippi, was the orator of the evening
at meeting held last evening in
confederate veterans hall, corner
18th and E streets, Washington,
when q large number of MISSISSIPPI
plans together with their families
assembled for the purpose of re-or-
ganizing among the natives of that
state and residents of this city. Sena-
tor Money took for his theme mis-
slssippi, and spoke for upward of
an hour. He referred IN eloquent
terms to the stand taken by his
native state in regard to the recogni-
ton of its women, saying that the
first woman's college in the United
States was chartered by that state
and'that it established the first girls

There is considerable anxiety felt
in regard to the turpentine industry.
The forests in south Mississippi are
being rapidly denuded of pine trees
and soon there will be none left for
turpentine purposes. Turpentine is
already getting scarce and the price
is going up. In Georgia and Florida
nearly all the orchards have become
exhausted and they are rapidly be-
ing exhausted in this section. The
turpentine people are very much
pleased with the good prices they are
getting, but they regret very much
that in few years longer they will
not have the article to sell at any
price.

the subject and the replies were just
opposite to those received by the gov
ernor. A comparison OF replies
would form some very interesting
reading. If Representative Jones
stated to the compress people that ne
was in favor of calling the session
and repeating the entire valued poll
cy clause and then wrote just the
opposite to the governor, Represent
alive Jones is not a truthful man
and his place as representative
should become vacant at once.
This is a subject that, though it
may be thrown into the waste basket
for the present, will be fished out
from time to time and some one is
going to feel it's effect yet. However,
as it stands the governor has the
best end of the argument.

1t may be that Tom Johnson has
been in places in Ohio unobserved by
the inhabitants of those sections. At
any rate there has been a volcano in
the Paint creek valley and if Mr..
Johnson is not responsible for it we
scarcely know to whom to charge it.
A recent dispatch makes the follow
ing statement concerning the same:
people living In the Paint creek
valley are greatly alarmed over the
appearance of smoke and sulphurous
gases from Copperas mountain,
which can be seen from this place.
Ever since the first eruption of Mont
Pelee smoke has issued from the
mountain at intervals, but only
within the past few days have the
smoke and gases become especially
noticeable and many attribute it to
the recent eruptions in Martinique.
Investigation shows that the slate in
the mountain has become hot and
some of it has become a dull red
from the action of the heat. The
smoke issues from the side and not
the top of the mountain and scient-
lists will be asked to make thorough

senator said, was the first state to
grant married women separate prop

This Rut Was Expensive.

According to press dispatch, a
Michigan farmer recently brought suit
against the township of Lincoln for
$4,000 damages for injuries received
because of defective road. The
plaintiff was thrown violently to the
ground, breaking leg and injuring
him otherwise, because the wheel of
his wagon fell into rut of defective
road. Negligence on the part of the
township to keep the roads in good or
der was proven, and the jury in the
case gave a verdict for $4,000 in favor
of the plaintiff. The authorities of
that town should take the advice of
the "good roads senator" of that
state, III. S. Earle, and keep it's high
ways in better state of repair. It
would be wiser to invest few thou
sand dollars in roadmaking machinery
than to pay the costs for lawsuit and
the damages which result from acct
dents.-Municipal Journal and Engi-
neer.

NEW ROAD MATERIAL.
Sticky Mud, Known as Gumbo, naked
= over Wood Fires, Almost as
Good AS Stone.

i.e.Nowhere in the United States are
the present roads poorer or better
ones more needed than in some parts
of the Mississippi valley. The prob
lem of improvement in this region,
moreover, has seemed peculiarly diff
cult because there are no Lodges OF
rock of kind suitable for making
good road material.
But now, behold! out of the very
excess of badness-out of the sticky,
clinging, almost bottomless mud into
which the roads are converted every
spring and autumn-comes the ma
terial which is to work their salvation.
This material is burnt gumbo, the very
mud which makes the roads so bad,
baked over wood fires until it becomes
one of the best building materials
known.
The credit of making the first prac-
teal applicat ton of this discovery be-
longs to the railroads. For several
years they have been using burnt gum
BIO as ballast for their road-beds in II
hnois, Missouri, Iowa and other states
of the middle west. twas first intend
ed as a substitute for crushed rock in
regions where rock could not easily be
obtained; but it demonstrated its SUI
periority so plainly that it is now used
extensively even where lodges are
abundant.
The mud is really an impure, exceed
ingly sticky clay. The process of pre-
pairing it for use upon the road is very
simple. Cord wood is piled in low
pyramid eight or ten feet wide. Over
this is thrown three or four inches OF
coal slack, and on this again is. placed
from 10 to 20 inches of mud. When the
wood is fired a slow combustion goes
on, which converts the mud into small,
sharp-cornered and exceedingly hard
pieces, so that the product has the ap-
pearance of red gravel.
The railroads find that they can
make and deliver the gumbo on board
the cars at cost of 25 to 35 cents a
cubic yard; but when burned in more
primitive fashion and on a smaller
scale, as is usually the case on country
highways, the cost is slightly greater.
Roads covered with this ma terial are
never muddy or dusty. They keep free
from snow and ice, are slow to get out
of repair, and weeds or grass will not
grow on them. The supply of mud is
unlimited, it's preparation simple and
cheap. A writer in the Review. of Re-
views declares that five years of syste-
matte and intelligent work with burnt
gumbo would make the principal coun-
try roads as passable all the year round
as paved city street, and at little
more cost than the amount now wasted
in working the road" Youths Com

Low Rates to the Northwest.

Beginning March 1st, and every day
thereafter during the months of March and
April, 1902, the Great Northern Railway
will sell one way second-class settlers tick
cts at very low rates to almost all points
on its main line west of st. Paul and Min
neapolis Low rates will also be made in
connection with the Great Northern, from
Chicago.
The rate from st. Paul, Minneapolis and
other Eastern terminals to Montana points
is from SIS to $50; to points in Washington,
so to S25. The rate from Chicago to
Montana points is from S25 to $50, and the
highest rate to points in Washington is S33
Equally low rates will be made to other
stations reached by, the Great Northern
Railway and its connections.
The journey must begin on the day of
sale of the ticket, and tickets will be good
for stop-over ten days or less at points on
the Great Northern Railway west of and
including Havre, Mont.
This is the best opportunity that has ever
been offered to parties who wish to investi-
gate the many advantages offered them in

ANOTHER MAN ALTOGETHER.

Valley, Mo-, Feb. 24th.-There is a
man in this town who has undergone
a most remarkable physical change
in the last few months.
His name is Perry Nelson and those
who knew him but short time ago
are amazed at his present condition.
He had not been feeling well for
some time and suspecting that the
trouble came from his kidneys, which
he knew were not any too strong, he
determined to try kidney medicine.
Dodd's Kidney Pills were highly
recommended and Mr.. Nelson began
treatment of them. He was re-
warded by complete restoration to
vigorous good health. He says:
II used six boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and they have helped me a
great deal. I feel like another man
and can recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills very highly"

, STILL HARD AT WORK.
Good Roads Association Considers
Spring a Splendid Time for
Missionary Work

The Good Roads association is still
active in it's work of improving the
highways of the country. Winter and
spring is the time to make converts
to the good cause, because then the
roads are bad. This is a big country,
and much of it is comparatively new.
The expense of proper road building
is great, but it will come gradually, as
it has in the older countries of Europe.
The aim in making a road is to estab-
Elish the easiest, shortest and, most
economical line of travel, and that it
is therefore desirable that roads
should be firm, smooth, comparatively
level and fit for use at all seasons of
the year. They should be properly
located so that their grades shall be
such that loaded vehicles may be
drawn over them without great loss
of energy; properly constructed, the
roadbed graded, shaped and rolled,
and surfaced with the best available
material suited to their needs. The ex-
tension of rural mail, delivery will en-
courage better road ystem.-Chica-

IMPROVEMENT.
HOW LIME IS BURNED.
Description of the Method Approved
by the PennsyIvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture.

AS practiced in Center county, Pa,
the burning of lime in heaps. is done
about as follows: A convenient piece
of ground is cleared and made level to
secure a fit platform. A layer or two
of good, well-seasoned cordwood is put
down, and between the chinks of the
wood shavings, straw and light kim
ding wood are placed. Upon the wood
is then placed a layer of the stone,
which has been reduced to pieces the
sic of double fist, or perhaps some
what larger. Care must be taken to
leave chinks between the stones. This
layer of stone should be about ten
inches thick. In some cases temporary
wooden fues are erected and filled
with straw, then when the straw burns
out the fire has a temporary vent.
These are placed at the center, If the
heap is round, or, if it is oblong, at
each end, and the stone and coal are
piled up about them. When one of
these flues burns out it should be
damped with piece of sod or stone.
Upon this first layer of stone is spread
a layer of coal, then another layer of
stone (12 inches thick, then coal
again, and so on till the heap is as high
as practicable. The object is to get
most of the coal in the lower layers,
so that its heat will not be wasted
Thus the layers of coal at the top of
the heap are much thinner than the
lower layers.
When the heap is finished, kindle
FIRE under the shavings and first layer

ment answer this inquiry affirmative
ly. If the tank. is to be built in the
ground it is wise to select a we'll
drained soil rather than wet one.
The walls need not be, over four or
five inches thick. A good formula for
the concrete is this: One part of &C.
ment, three of sharp sand and five of
finely pounded stone or coal cinders.

Gated to the layer. of wood and the
lower layer of coal and tongues of
flame begin to shoot from the crew
ices in the sides of the heap, spread
earth over the entire heap. This earth
should be previously loosened by plow-
ing several burrows about the heap.
The earth thrown upon the pile damps
the drafts and retards the combustion.
The figure shows the. arrangement of
the materials in rough way.
Steam and smoke escape slowly dur
ing the first few hours, but later the
entire heap, including the covering of
earth, is heated to dull red glow.
The burning goes on slowly for several
days, the interior sometimes being hot
for several weeks. When the stone in
the lower part, of the heap has reached
an advanced state of calcination por-
ton of the outer layer of lime some
times slips down.. When this occurs a
fresh covering of earth must be ap-
piled at once, lest the exposed part act
as a vent and the top and sides fail to
be properly calcined.
In some localities the heap is COW
cred with earth before the fire is kin
died, openings or vents being left at
the top, where the steam and smoke
may escape. When the smoke stops
these openings are closed.
The quantity of fuel used in this
Center county plan is approximately
one ton of coal for each 100 bushels of
lime, though heap of 5000 bushels is
sometimes satisfactorily burned with
20 tons of coal. The ratio of coal to
lime ranges from 1873 to Is, or, esti-
mating on the basis of compact lime
stone yielding 30 bushels of lime to
the perch, one ton of coal will burn
from 13 to five perches. The change
that takes place in making lime from
limestone or other forms of calcium
carbonate is the loss of carbonic acid
gas through the agency Of, heat, con-
verting the stone into calcium oxide
or lime. Upon complete combustion
100 pounds of pure calcium carbonate
will yield Sc pounds of lime. = Ohio
