this paper setting forth what is being
accomplished by the commercial clubs

pany plant at Burlington. to c. A.
Westbe5g. chairman OF the Industrial
committee. was read.
The letter deals with the dust
nuisance" and sets forth that while
more dust is escaping from the plant
than heretofore, the plant has been

ed output which is now 5000, 600. 900
barrels as against a previous Of 1000
600 barrels yearly.
The writer stated that the machinery
had been introduced that saved from
forty to sixty per cent of the wsste
and that the company was at work
now experimenting with still more i'm
proved machinery which if 1t proved
better than that now used. would be
introduced at Burlington plant. The
savage, Mr.. Hager stated, meant more
10 MS company than 1t could possibly
mean to the community here and that
IT naturally followed that the latter
would do all in its power to minimize
the waste of cement
J. G. Allen informed the club that
Mr.. Schroeder of the Burlington plant
had told him that If the members of
the club would come to the plant some
day and take luncheon there, he would
endeavor to show them that his COM
pany was UP against in its efforts to
minimize the dust nuisance, and how
the escaping cement means thousands
OF dollars loss yearly to the concern.

ana Harbor to the gulf deep water
ways committee reported. He sug-
gested in his report that the club wait

pleted in the near future>
That some road preservative must be
adopted is evidenced by the fact that
portions of the Columbia avenue pave
ment have been rebuilt four times
within the past fourteen years
At first the county commissioners
were at sea how they could use county
road funds for sprinkling, but it was
finally decided that road oil should be
considered repair material. which Is
permissible under the law. Putting
this construction on the law. permits
without delay, as no bonds need be
fioated. Nor is 1t necessary for the
board TO advertise for bids for the
sprinkiing. The procedure is the same
as in road repairs. the money is taken
from the general fund.
Under the law. however the county
cannot pay for the sprinkling within
city limits.
One oil application will be made on
the two county roads this fall. Two
will be made next year, and after that,
IL is thought that one oil application
will be sufficient.

nave been increased 1t is probable
that all these advances in wages fol-
lowed as a result of the trouble at
Lawrence. The fear of congress
slonal investigation led to the wage
increases in that city, and once the
pail was set in motion it continued
TO roll until now practically all the
textile workers except those in New
Bedford and Lowell are satisfied. In
New Bedford the operatives demand
ten per cent increase-the same as
that given in Fall River-and be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 hands are
affected.
The public viii pay the increased
cost of labor, which it is estimated
will settle somewhere between $1O.-
100000 and $12, 100000 a year.
Advances in the prices of cotton and
wooden goods have been made or are

the advances are made necessary by

ASKS FOR HUSBANDS HEAD AND HEART

mutilation before being slain. De
la Guardia, her nephew, says the tor
lures were done with the care of in
ventors perfecting a new mechanism.
The suffering men were permitted to
hear the deliberations of their cap
tors trying to decide what additional
cruelty could be perpetrated. One of
the victims, Colonel Coral, whose
tongue had just been cut out, was
placed upon a stand and ordered to
make speech. When the seven Off
GERS at last succumbed the mutilated
bodies were targets for the rage of
the populace.
The ferocity of the mob was in
spired by the action of troops under
General Montero, who, after he had
surrendered, opened fire upon a mass
of people celebrating the govern
ment's victory, killing nearly hun
dred men.
De la Guardia has copy of the
articles of peace between Generals
Plaza and Montero, whereby the lat
ter and his subordinates were to re-
ceive safe conduct out of the cOun-
try and all political prisoners were
to be pardoned. This agreement was
witnessed by Herman Dietrich,
American consul general, and Alfred
Cartwright, British consul. Contra
ry to first reports that the defeated
generals, after starting to leave Ec-
uador, left their ship to begin anoth-
err revolution, de la Guardia asserts
that they were prisoners of war all
the time and that the government at
Quito repudiated the treaty of peace
made by Plaza, which was entered
into in good faith by both parties.
Sonora Montero's message to Qui-
to, which the president ignored, was
as follows:
Sacred duty to my husband
obliges me to ask you to order deliv-
cry of the head and heart of my hus-
band, General Pedro Montero, which
exist in trophies of the power of the
army of General Plaza, cowardly and
treacherously assassinated.

Early Sunday morning the senator

lants. Mrs Taylor, worn out by a
day and night vigil, had gone to her
apartments. At o'clock this morn
ing the senator began to sink so rap
idly that she was sent for.

hearts of his audiences, carrying his
violin wherever he campaigned, was
81 years old He was born at Happy
Valley, in eastern Tennessee, but
spent most of his life at Nashville,
practicing law. He belonged to an
office-holding family His father was
a representative in congress and COM

Once pension agent at Knoxville,
thrice governor of Tennessee, from
1887 to 1891 and 1897 to 1899, SEN
ator Taylor forged his way to the
national house of representatives
from the same congressional district
that had previously sent his father
to congress and later his brother,
whom he subsequently defeated for
governor.
