Largest Gun In the World.
The new sixteen inch gun recently
built for the United States government
is the largest in the world. 1t Is the
most powerful weapon devised by man,
and has take nyears to construct. The
best and most reliable medicine yer
compounded is the famous Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, introduced over fifty
years ago and containing only such
ingredients, as will be helpful to the
entire system. 1t therefore commends
itself to all persons suffering from
suck headache. nervousness, insomnia,
indigestion, dyspepsia, chills or NAL
aria, fever and ague. Be sure to give
it a trial. 1t has never been known to
fail, and a therefore be depended
on in your case. The genuine is for
sale by all druggists and has our Pri-
vate Stamp over the neck OF the bot
tie.

The young sugar beets OF the
Arkansas Valley are being de
stroyed by the acre. The damage
seems to be done by small white
worm about the diameter OF a pin
and an eighth OF an inch in leagth.
The beets were starting nicely,
came up strong and vigorous, and
some OF the plants had four leaves
on them before the pest appeared.
Then it was noticed that the stems
OF the young plants began to turn
black and then rapidly died. II is
thought that the pest came from
the seed. The authorities at the
sugar factories have ordered q
thorough investigation to be made
by their agriculturists. Many
acres have already been destroyed
and must be replsnted il the seed
can be obtained. This is reported
to be very doubtful as no supply
was kept on hand for meeting suct.

The jury in the case Of the Peo-
Pile VS.. Frank C. Chapman. charged
with the murder OF c. r. Hedges
on the second day OF February
last, disagreed after being out
eighteen hours and the defendant
has been released from custody on
$500 bond. The jury stood
eleven for scquIttal and one tor
conviction on the very first ballot
taken, and the pleadIngs. argu.
ments and persuasive powers Of
the combined eleven failed to
convince the obtuse member that
he was in the wrong. The jury
gave up III disgust about five
o'clock Thursday afternoon. after
being OUT since I,.3o the night
before, and report TO the court
that they had been unable TO agree.
Judge Voorhees, then announced
y
that the case would be continued
for the term. and fixed Chspman's
bond at $500. The necessary
bond was secured in about five
minutes by Mr.. Sabin, attorney
for young Chapman, smes Nc
Neen being the surety. and the de-
fendsnt being released from Gus
tody. IL is the opinion OF great
many that the case will never come
to uial again.
The tr,al commenced Monday
morning, the prosecution beng
conducted by District Attorney
Low aud Deputy District Attorney
Miller, aud the defense by Fred A.
Sabiu and w. X. Gibson. All OF
Monday was taken up IN securing
a Jury, and the introduction OF tes
timony commenced at the evening
session. Nineteen witnesses tes-
titied for the prosecution and thirty
four for the defense. The evi-
dence was very conflicting on the
all important point as to whether
Hedges had gun in his hand at
the time he was shot, but the de
tense proved almost conclGsively
that he did have. The introduc-
ton OF testimony was concluded
Wednesday afternoon. and at the
evening session the attorneys
made their arguments The court
house was crowded to the doors
at the evening session, many
ladies being present and standing
up during the long four hours thai
the arguments lasted. Mr. Sabin
opened for the defense and talked
for an hour. being followed b,
MIR. Miller for half an hour. Mir.
Gibson made the final argument
fog the defense in a half hours
speech, Mr.. Low concluding for
the prosecution in a speech lasting
one hour and quarter. None OF
the lawyers made an attempt at an
oratorical display. but confined
themselves almost exclusively to a
review Of the testimony given on
either side.

sentative OF the TRIsUSs visited
the ice plant recently erected by
d. NJ. Mills, which Is now COM
plete and turning out congesled
moisture at the rate OF SIX tons
per day. Any person who has
not witnessed the process OF man
ufacturing artificial ice will be
we'll repaid by visit to the local
plant.
The plant is located in the
Bradish addition. immediately
south Of the canning factory. The
building is 4ox6o feet in dimen-
sions, and at the highest point,
the condensing room, is iorty feet
in height. An srtesisn well, 42o
feet deep, and cased its entire
depth. supplies the water for the
plant. The capacity OF the well is
fifty FIVE gallons per minute, by
the pumping process. but only
twenty gallons per minute are at
present being utilized.
The plant is equipped with two
thirty five horse power boilers. and
a twenty-horse power ammonia
compressor, manufactured by the
Frick Company, OF Waynesboro,
Pa. the machinery being installed
by A Wheeler. erecting eng'-
neer. H. H. keener will be the
chief engineer OF the plant. Geo.
A. Rand, assistant, and force OF
about six men will be constantly
employed. The plant will cost
about $4,000.
The ice is manufactured in a
tank thirty feet long, ten feet wide
and four feet in depth. BY the
ammonia process. The tank is
equipped with $500 feet OF one
and one-iourth inch pipe. through
which the ammonia runs, and
eighty -four galvanized iron tanks
holding filtered water which is
frozen into 800 pound cakes OF
ice The water used is condensed
steam. which is reboiled and sub
sequently run through charcoal
filters and freed from all impur,-
ties.
The principle of the machine
consists OF an evaporstor OF con
gealer, in which the vaporization
OF the ammonia takes place. q
pump for asP'rating the gas as
formed in the evaporator. and a
liquefer or condenser where the
gas is compressed by the pump,
the liquefaction being aided by .
condensing stream OF cold water.
This last named portion of the
apparatus serves simply to restore
the ammonia to its original state
that it may be used over aud over
gain. In order to utilize the low
Temperature obtained by this ap-
paratus the ammonia is run into
coils for evaporation. The tank
in which these coils are located,
is filed with salt brine, the evap-
Grafton robs the brine OF its heat.
and cans Of water, set into the
brine tanks, are frozen into three
hundred pound cakes OF ice.
1t order TO understand the pro
cess thoroughly we advise our
readers to visit the plant and make
a personal inspection. Mr.. Mills
informs the TRIBUNE that he is
already assured OF an excellent
local patronage, and from inquiries
that he has received from adjoin-
ing towns he believes that the full
capacity Of the plant will be re-
quired to supply the trade.
