Company in Clay County Talk of
Fighting the Grain Trust.

Clay Center, Kan, Jan. about
twenty farmers living in the vicinity Of
Clay Center met with J. S. NJ. Hunter
of Olathe, in the Office of the city clerk

discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of establish
ing an Independent farmers elevator
company. Mr.. Hunter has been in the
city about a week talking the matter
up.
The proposed plan is to buy the new
Hanna elevator on the Rock Island
track. The price of the elevator and
lots is $4,000, and the estimated cost
of equipping the same is placed at
$4,000. The matter was thoroughly
discussed by those present. The tricks
of the so-called grain trust were inter
esting set forth, by one who knew,
much to the edif1cation OF those pres
ent. The storage capacity of the ele-
vator is $4,000 bushels. The company
will be incorporated with a capital of
$4,000, divided into fifty shares of
500.
A committee consisting of John
Marshall w. ". Smith and Henry
Blanc were appointed to arrange for a

San Bernardino, Cal, Jan. Bar

of fabuIOusly rich gold mine near the
old cemetery, just across the MOjaVe

this week Roach came to San Bernar-

was out hunting, and came across an
old tunnel dug years ago by an old
miner and prOspector, who has long
since passed away. Impelled by curl
osity, Roach went to the end of the
tunnel, pecking away at the walls. A
huge slab of clay fell out, ana behind
it stood revealed the clean rock. The
rock was exceedingly friable, and
Roach had no difficulty in getting loose
a handful of it which he ground be-
tween his palms but it nearly took his
breath away when he blew the dust
away. and he found the astonishing

his hand. Further investigation show

Ten More French Minors Rescued A!.vs

have been exploring the Sallau mines

miners who had been Sensombed
20 days were taken out alive, yes.
terday came upon ten other miners
with life still in them. They were
found in pit No. q, and were quickly
brought to the surface. The rescue
of these ten is regarded as even more
miraculous than the fading of the
others, OF only because they have
existed twenty-five days under
ground, five days more than the
other men were buried, but because
pit No. 4 was damaged more than
any other by the explosion.
The newly discovered men were in
frightful condition of emaciation.
The dangers they faced and the
hardships they endured were even
greater than those of the men found

Letter to chas. Mueller, walhalIa.

Dear Sir: You understand grinding
wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and corn. We
understand grinding whitehead and
white-zinc. The two sorts of grinding
are not much alike. Very likely oats
and wheat behave very differently in the
mill, and you manage them diferently-
we know very little about your work
don't need to; we'd rather depend on
you.
But we paint your house and mill and
out-buildings; perhaps you'd be glad to
know about grinding paint; for some
people mix their paint with a stick in a
tub.
We use load and d-zinc-nothing else.
And our zinc is as tough as your oats.
Tub mixers imagine they mix it. They
don't; they can't. Takes grinding to
mix lead-and-zinc.
They are both white; when are they
thoroughly mixed? Tnb-mixers don't
know it; but tub-mixed lead and zinc is a
streak of one alongside of streak of the
other.
We grind as you grind; and our paint
is lead-and-zinc ground together, mixed
iptimately-it is neither lead nor zinc,
but lead and zinc; the lead is lost, and
the zinc is lost; each lost in the other;
both lost in the mixture. Lead chalks
and zinc peels; lead-and. zinc ground to
gether hang on and protect each other.
We take care of your mill outside; you
take care of it inside. Yours truly,

He fails utterly to see any of the

selves of the State liquor shops.
But mostof us are fairly well salts

Of law, but we never expected that
there would not be.l

sary directors for buying so much
liquor, and asks why they were no,

The final note of warming $40 the
people-the voters. He urges all to
attend the club meetings and send
the right sort of delegates to tn.
county conventions.
In conclusion, he says that if the
people want prohibition, he will not
object; if they want county dispen-
saries instead of State dispensary,
he will not object; but he wants all
to inform themselves and not be- led
by the nose. He will bow to the
will Of the majority.

document. Nor do we believe it
will cause che change of many votes
