Tho Common Council.

At the meeting of the common coun-
Gil the mayor, the clerk, one spectator
and seven aldermen, were present.
Rain kept the others away.
The city was asked to pay $3.50 per
barrel for cement, but does not wish to
do so, as small buyers are getting it just
as cheaply, and the bills for cement
were held up.
Street Commissioner Crane was in
structed to lay cement walks wherever
practicable, especially in the downtown
districts, on account Of the trucking.
He is not to be arbitrary, however, and
j. H. Goetzen, whose request for tar
walk about his place on Exchange
street was refused, will be allowed to
construct such walk.
1t was discovered that the Stewart
street sewer has no man holes or catch
basins, although it has just been fin
ished, and the need of such improve
ments were apparent. The board of
public works was instructed to see that
they are put in.

VALUABLE BY.-PRODUCT
Vinegar rlade From the Molas-
ses that Remains From
Beet Sugar.
More Money In By-Products Than In
the Making Of Sugar Itself.

Robert Mckinney, secretary of the
Caro- Vinegar Company, and H. N.
Montague of the same place, were in
the city yesterday. They are MAX
ing a display of the product of their
company at the store of Symons Bros.
q Co. 'The vinegar which we manu-.
facture,' said Mr.. Mckinney, lis made
from the molasses which is left from
the manufacture of beet sugar. 1t was
once permitted to run away into the
river, being considered valueless, but
when it was discovered that it could be
distilled and furnish first quality of
alcohol its value as a by-product began
to be recognized. It's conversion into
vinegar is by process invented, and
1t is proving wonderful success. The
superiority of our vinegar is in the fact
that If has been submitted to the best
chemists in the country, who pronounce
it absolutely pure. A large portion of
the vinegar on the market contains
acetic acid, distilled from wood alcohol.
We distill 25 proof alcohol from the
molasses OF the beet sugar and then
convert the alcohol into vinegar. We
make two kinds, what we designate as
white wine and vinegar that resem-
bles cider vinegar but eminently super
ior to the best cider vinegar ever
placed on the market. A large portion
of the vinegar consumed is manufac-
tured from corn. A ton of corn costs
about $14 and it will produce far less
vinegar and. of a poorer quality than we
produce from ton of beet refuse mo-
lasses which costs So a ton. We can
make vinegar cheaper than any other
kind of vinegar can be produced and it
is..the genuine article"
"Some people imagine the sugar trust
is going to shut up the Michigan sugar
plants, said Mr.. Montague, but as a
matter of fact they bought an interest
in them for money making purposes.
There is as much or more money in
sugar beets for the by-products than in
the manufacture of sugar. Alcohol can
be produced from the molasses in sugar
beets at cost not exceeding 10 cents
gallon, and it will be but short time
before the trust will control the alcohol
market of the United States and vine
gar as well"
The gentlemen have samples of fruit
and vegetables preserved in vinegar
which have been canned since Septem.
ber and October last, and the apples,
oni0hs, carrots, cauliflower, and GU
cumbers are Just as fresh as when they
were put up eight months ago.
There are apparently limitless possi-
bilities to this industry, and it is ex'

New Woodman Plan

AT the head camp meeting at Indian.
apolis of the Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca, last week, new plan to perpetuate
the order was adopted. Though by it
assessments on members of different
ages are changed, these changes are in
relative assessments and are not radical.
In nutshell, the new schedule pro-
vides for an increase in the old rates
ranging from about 35 per cent on the
younger members up to the 45th year
limit of admission to the insurance de-
partment of the organization.
The new plan does not provide for a
reserve fund; it does not provide for d
step rate; it does not re.rate the mem
bership at their present age; all of
which were cardinal features of the adj
ministration plans. The Iowa idea Is
the same exactly as the order is now
conducted upon, with an increase and
variation III the assessment rates. AS
sessments will be called only to meet
the requirements of death losses, and
no part Of the money is tied up in a
reserve or emergency fund. No more
money will be required than under the
old plan, the only difference being a
more equitable arrangement of rates
at the different ages, and the higher
rates will require fewer assessments.
It is an especially favorable plan for
the old members, as they are rated At
the age at which they joined, instead of
their present age

was one of General Grants physicians
during his last illness. The sculptor is
q brother-in-law of Edwin Gould. He
is a graduate of Columbia university.
Young Shrady never had a prolonged
training in his chosen profession, but
those familiar with his career say he
is born sculptor. genius. Until about
two years ago his work, with the ex-
ception of his mammoth bison at the
Pan-American fair, had been confined
to small examples of sculpture.
He first attracted attention when he
was awarded the contract to create the
Washington statue in Brooklyn. This
is an equestrian work and cost $4,000.
Mr.. Shrady is in his thirty-first year.
In preparing his model of the horse
for the Grant memorial Mr.. Shrady
used his own animal, Kentucky thor
oughbred named Charming Billy"
For three, hours daily, from Q to II,
Billy stood patiently in the models in
closure in New York. But when the
W whistle blew Billy refused to. be a
model any longer until he had been
fed. After his lunch he would take
the feed box in his teeth and drop it
over the side of the model stand and
pose patiently until the time came for
his daily exercise. Billy also posed
for the horses in the groups of artil-
lery and cavalry.

A rerrible weapon.

The weapon common to every part
of, Hindustan, so as to deserve the
name of the national arm, is the "ka-
tar" This is broad, two edged dag
ger, the hiIt of which is Formed some
thing like an II, the hand grasping the
crossbar, which is generally double,
while the side bars extend on each side
of the wrist.
Some katars are made with five
blades. which unite into one, but by
squeezing together the crossbars di-
verge like the fingers of a hand when
the thrust has been given. Other ka-
tars are made in sets of two or even
three, of diminishing sizes, the blades
of the larger being hollow and forming
sheaths for the smaller. Some of the
southern Indian katars, known as
death giverS,' are immense weapons,
nearly two feet long in the blade, and
the hits are mass of fantastic scroll
work and NEUROLOGICAL holsters, the
cobra with expanded hood figuring
largely. There is also the ''bich'hwa,"
or scorpions sting. a doubly curved
dagger; the "khanjar," a larger form
of the same, and the ''peshkabZ," or
hunting knife. But none of these elab-
crate weapons has about ii the terri
bly, "buSinesSlike' look of the Khyber
knife (ch'hura), with it's ponderous sim
gle edged, tapering blade and plain
ivory hilt.-ChamberS' Journal.
