MANGANESE AND PHOSPHORUS.

The manufacture of manganese and
| phosphorus by the somewhat similar
electrolytic process has also taken i'm.
portant strides forward in the past few
years. The former is made very much
| like aluminium. The oxide Is dissolved
in bath of fused calcium fiuoride. and
then it is submitted to electrolysis. In
order TO assist in the rapid reduction q
| slight amount of carbon is added. In
the process the regulation of the tenn.
| perature Is so important that if it IL
raised much above the fuSing point tho
manganese will become volatile and bo
lost. The operator must follow care.

Phosphorus from the electric furnace
is worked ont on quite an extensive
scale abroad and in this country. Tho
method is very simple. and the results
very satisfactory. The phosphate min.
eral Is first obtained and then ground
to very fine powder. In this Condi'
ton it is mixed with carbon and sand
and then heated in the electric furnace
to an intense temperature. When at
the proper heat the phosphorus is dis.
titled off and collected under water.

must be careful and exact. BY means
of recent Improvements, however, the

thus caused an increased activity iD

This latter is produced likewise on o

been an interesting industrial question

BAILEY WILL SIGN.
Changes Mind About the Abilene
Sewer Bill

Governor Bailey has concluded to sign
the Abilene special sewer bill after ali,
Notwithstanding the fact that Attorney
General Coleman DrOnounces it uncon-
stitutional-nOt out of any slight for
Mr.. Coleman's opinion. but because
there is a demand for it as sanitary
measure in Abilene. and because the
same thing has been done for other
towns
The bill was first caught by Judge
West, Governor Baney's executive clerk.
when it was sent down to the governor
for his signature, and Judge West ad-
vised the governor to send it to the at.
torney general for an opinion as to its
validity. There seems to be little doubt
among LAWYERS but what this class OF
legislation is unconstitutional. but it has
been frequently passed by the legisla-
tina
This particular bill allows the city of
Abilene to build a sewer outside its city
limits TO connect the city sewer with a
proper outlet. Tt seems to be such a
necessary sanitary measure that Gov
ernor Bailey concluded to sign it as a
matter of public policy

TATUM DOESN'T LIKE 1T.
Objects to Bill to Raise Minimum
Bank Capital.

Representative Tatum of Edwards
county doesn't like the way the bill to
raise the minimum capital of state
banks to $4,000 was pushed through the
house committee of the whole.
When the eastern half of the state
wants anything it always expects the
western half of the state to support it,
but when we wanted the banking law
left so it wouldn't wipe a lot of our lit
tie banks out of existence the eastern
half of the state ran right over US"
Mr.. Tatum says that many commune
ties in the western part of the state have
enough business for a $4,000 bank but
not enough for a $4,000 institution. As
a result some Of the small banks in tbs
western part of the state will be COM

PAY FOR JUSTICES.
Bill to Increase the Salaries Is
Ranortad.

The house committee of the whole has
recommended for passage the bill to
raise the salaries of justices of the SUI
preme court from SO, 900 to So, 600 a year
1t was introduced for passage but was
reported by the committee on fees and
salaries without recommendation When
it came up for discussion Mr.. Waggener
urged its adoption, and pointed to the
case of the late Judge Horton, who, he
said, left almost nothing for his family
beside his life insurance after serving
for seventeen years on the supreme
bench
If this bill becomes a law some of the
justices now on the bench win receive
no benefit from it for six years. Justices
Smith and Cunningham viii be the
first to have their salaries raised if they
are reelected The constitution says
that no officers salary may be raised
during the term for which he is elected,
but Smith and Cunningham viii begin
new terms two years hence Chief Jus
tice Johnston and Justice Burch will be
eligible fer the raise in four years, but
Justices Pollock. Greene and Mason Will
have to worry along on $1,000 a year for
six years

About six months ago the men asked
for an increase in wages. but nothing
had been done about it, and the men
had about decided that their request
had been turned down. The increase
given last night came as a voluntary
act on the part of the company. The
increase given to the men amounts to
about $500 in a year in the pay roll.

OBJECT is WORTHY.
Topeka Charity Association Should
Receive Support.

Topeka. Kan, Feb. 20, 1908.
To the Citizens of Topeka:
A number of our good citizens have
organized themselves into what is call
ed The Topeka Charity Association.
The object of the association is to
raise funds and supplies for the poor
during this winter. So far, calls on
the benevolent people have been re-
sponded to in the way of certain kinds
of supplies for the sick, and for other
demands.
We respectfully ask help in this di
rection. At no time is help more need
ed than now. This extremely cold
weather has made unusual demands on
the association.
Credit will be given for all remit
tances sent to F. NJ. Bonebrake, treas
urer, at the Central National bank. We
are unable to call personally on the
charitably inclined citizens. and there
fore take this method of reaching them.

there is anything left at the end of that
time the man who used to own the
store may take it and convert it to
whatever use he sees fit The bill is a
sensible one. as seen by Wholesalers,

Senator Ward has an idea that i would

chance a merchant should see fit to

for a herd of long horns. the banker
might object to having said cattle de-

in exchange for his store a farm or a
house and lot. the banker would also
be UNSUITABLE in refusing to harbor the
