Routed the MoOnshiners'

lola people who know Capt. L. A.
Thrasher and are familiar with the
daring work he has done for years as

know he has made numerous daring
raids, risking his life in pursuit of the
Illicit distillers. Mr.. tThrasher's 5

scarce in that section but hard to find
and dangerous to approach.
The Louisville Courier of January

account of the Captains latest raid.
The Courier says:
"Internal revenue agent l.. A.
Thrasher and deputy collector Robert
Hancock raided and destroyed a large
moonshine distillery near Hibernia,
Laru county, at about l O'Clock this

troyed and several hundred barrels of

The boss replied lola" SIS it any

"Buysn Reached Frisco

A telegram was received last Fri
day by Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. Mitchell
from their son Burt, announcing the
arrival of the transport Warren at
San Francisco yesterday. He and the
General stood the trip we'll and Burt
says he will get home about as soon
as steam cars can bring him. The
General will naturally remain some
time in San Francisco and get ac-
quainted with the new member of his
family.
A dispatch to the Kansas City
Journal that morning says:
"Brigadier General Frederick Fun
ston was a passenger of the United
States transport Warren, which ar
rived here this afternoon from Manila.
Through the courtesy of the customs
officials the general was taken ashore
on the revenue cutter Golden Gate just
as soon as the big transport had pass
ed quarantine.
General Funston, although brown
ed by the voyage across the Pacific,
is far from being we'll man, and will
probably have to submit to a further
operation for appendicitis when he
goes East.
4" Il was three months in the hospital
at Manila, he said, 'and-while | am
now able to get around all right,
don't feel like myself.
"The general was informed of the
confirmation of his commission by
congress and seemed pleased, but when
told that on the same day of the con-
firmation in Washington a son and
heir had been born to him'in Oakland
he forgot everything in his anxiety to
reach shore.
Deputy Surveyor OF the Port st.
John, who broke the news Of the safe
arrival of young Funston, had
thoughtfully provided himself with a
photograph of the young gentleman.
This the general took possession of
and was soon proudly exhibiting to
his friends the portrait of the second
edition of the man that captured
Aguinaldo.
Regarding his plans for the future
Funston is uncertain. Il have a two
months leave of absence, he said.
After spendinga few days in Oakland
with Mrs. Funston and the baby, |
will go direct to Kansas City, where
expect to spend about week. Then
will go to Washington and after that
everything depends upon my health. ,
This, according to some of the gener-
al's fellow passengers, is likely to
prove a very serious consideration,
and that the general is himself alarmed
is quite certain.
General Funston said his leave OF
absence was for two months. He
thought he would have it extended and
it was possible that he would not re-
turn at all.

Cement Plant Improvement,

One of the big jobs at the cement
plant is the hauling of shale and rock
from the quarries to the plant. Shale
is securedfrom!the mound short dis
tance west of the factory and rock a
similar distance to the easV, but the
hauling the immense amount used
makes lot of work. The company
has been considering for long time
the advisability of putting in tracks
on which a little engine might haul
cars from the quarries. The first step
in this direction is being taken now,
track being under construction from
the factory to the mound, 1t is up hill
to the mound and for the present at
least empty cars will he hauled to the
quarry by u team of horses. The
loaded cars will be allowed to roll
down hill to the factory. In time a
track may be laid out therock quarry
and an engine secured to do the haul
ing both ways.

ing its mark clear across the face of
central Illinois. a cyclone Tuesday

fell upon Mclean and adjoining couh-

1t is known that while the fatali-

EFFECT OF THE DEVELOPMENTS
Beet Sugar Men More HOpefuI-Two Cau-
Cuses To Be Held.

Opinions as to the ultimate effect
of the testimony are as varied as the
predictions and prejudices of the
senate. but the immediate results are
seen in the decision reached during the
afternoon to have two caucuseS in the
early future. The first of these will
be held by the beet sugar Republican
senators today, and the second by all
the Republican senators tomorrow or
Saturday. Burrows Is responsible for
the statement that the beet sugar men
will meet, and Aldrich for the an
nouncement that there will be gen
eral conference before the close of the
week.
The purpose of the meeting of the
beet sugar men is to consider the Situ-
alton as affected by yesterdays devel-
opmentS, and also to receive a report
from the committee consisting OF FL
kinS. Burrows and Jones of Nevada,
appointed to confer with the Repub-
lican members of the Cuban commit
tee. This committee will state that
the Cuban committee has declined to
consider all the propositions looking to
a compromise which have been made,
and it probably will ask to be dis
charged. The propositions that have
been made are twO-the first for re-
bate and the second for a commercial
treaty with Cuba.
The committee will say that both
plans We're rejected, and that the men,
bers of the Cuban committee would
not change their position that there
must be a straight reduction of 20 per
cent. without any conditions except
that the president might have power to
revoke the concession in case he found
that the Cuban planters were not get
ting the benefit of il. The full con-
ference will be in the nature of n eau
Gus. and some of the beet sugar men
say they will enter it only with the
understanding that they shall not be
bound by any conclusions that may be
reached.
The beet sugar senators undeniably
are more hopeful than they have been
heretofore. Some of them go so far
as to claim that there will be no
reciprocity legislation-at least during
the present session
