OAK EXTRACT.
Takes The Place OF 8ark for Tanning
Purposes. Large Plant at
MOnnt Union.

The enterprising tanners, G.
Greene Il Sons, who, among 9th
er places, operate large tannery
at Saltillo, realizing the growing
scarcity of rock oak bark, looked
about for a substitute, and a year
ago last October, began the erec-
ton of a plant at Mount Union
for the manufacture of a wood
extract which should take the
place of bark. So great has been
their success, that they have
been compelled recently to great
ly enlarge their facilities in order
to keep pace with the demand for
their production.
The extract manufactured al
this plant Is shipred to those
parts of the country where bark
Is scarce. 1t is sent to New Eng
and, Canada and the North-Wes'
where hemlock and oak bark have
largely become exhausted. This
tannln extract, used as substl
tute for bark makes just as go &c
leather as the Dark itself. 1t is
shipped in barrels, also large
steel tank cars, liberal supply
of which the company has al
ready provided
This extract is made from rocl
oak bark, chestnut wood and hem
lock bark. THESE woods and bark
afe used because in them is found
the largest percentage of tannir
of any of our native barks and
woods. All vegetable matter has
more or less tanniu, which amount
varies with the species.

BIG APRIL SNOW.
Tuesday Morning Found a Heavy Show
Storm on Hand. Made Work
fnr ineusan
just now


The good people of McConnells-
burg were not little surprised
when they awakened on Tuesday
morning and looked out through
the windows, to see the town IN
the throes of an old-fas lloned
April snow storm. The rain of
the evening before had changed
to snow, and it was coming down
so thick and fast that one could
scarcely see across the street.
Then the dampness caused the
snow to adhere to the branches
of trees, the shrubbery, and the
fences, while the telegraph wires
looked like ammoth ropes of
raw cotton, yet with a weight
that caused the poles to tremble,
and IN many cases fall to the
ground. The telegraph and tele-
phone lnemen were the busiest
people Tuesday, and 1t took them
until late in the afternoon to get
the lines in working order.
The snow, which was about ten
inches In depth when the storm
abated just before noon, dlsap-
peared rapidly during the alter
noon and evening, but by Wednes-
day morning the temperature
had dropped to the freezing point.

A CLOSE CALL.
Squire Frank M. Diehl Of Whips Coye,
Narrowly Escapes Serious

Injury.
AS is noted elsewhere IN this
paper, Frank M. Diehl, ESQ.,, and
his cousin George B. McC. Dlehl,
of Whips Cove, were In town last
Saturday. Reaching Webster
Mills about five o'clock on their
return home, they decided to
stop and feed before continuing
farther on their long drive.
During their stop they made
an examination of the hoof of one
of their horses that had shown
some signs of lameness, and
found in the frog a puncture
Knowing the tendency of such a
wound to produce lockjaw, they,
With the assistance of Ira Dlehl,
proceeded to make a more care
full examination, and, If possible,
remove the cause of the trouble.
While Ira was closely examining
the horses foot, and Clell and
the Squire were holding firmly
by the bride, the horse suddenly
reared violently, throwing Ira
through the stable door and strlk-
ing Frank heavy blow on the
right side of the face cutting him
above the eye and causing an
ugly bruise on his cheek. At
first 1t was thought that one of
his eyes had been destroyed, but
DR.. Sappington was called, and
he, upon examination, found that
no bones had been broken, and
that the injured eye would prob
ably be all right in a few days.

II Was John Brant That Was Killed In
Wreck, But Not Our John"

1t is only once IN while that

uary notice in the newspapers.
A few days ago a gentleman In
the far west picked up a copy of
the News, and soon became IN
ter ssted In the story of the death
of John Brant, recently killed IN
a railroad wreck IN Washington.
AS he entered into the details Of
the story, aud learned that the
victim of the railroad disaster had
soldiered with Mart Matthias, had
on one occasion stolen an old hen
off her nest ia a straw stack, had
scooped in sundry hams from
citizens In the enemy's country,
he began to grow dizzy. 81 am
the man that was killed, sure ="
and he began pinching himself to
be certain that he was liying.
After assuring himself of the
latter fact, he at once wrote a let
ter to mir. Matthias, stating that
his comrade of war times John
Brant, was living and we'll
weighing 1S0 lbs, and eating
three square meals a day.
He explained that the name of
the man killed in the wreck was
John Brant; but, that Jones who
reported the facts TO the News.
was mistaken as to the particular
John.

 A Kentuckian has just married his mother-in law How sur priSed he will be when he Sobers up.
 He's all right, but he's liable to over-say himself," is a remark we heard recently. But aren't most people liable to do the same thing:
 Be good and you'll be happy, but you Il miss a devil of lot of fun" is a saying one often hears. But had you also thought that you would also avoid a devil of lot of trouble too.

 That young New York sport who paid S1700 for a special train from Hot Springs to Texas, to 20 to see his girl, is regarded by most people as something of a fool. But there are men in Pres. colt who have spent the same amount just as foolishly, but it took them longer to do it.
