Landlord Purcell is having tbe Phil lips House improved on tbe interior by papering and other changes, He is having a fine billiard' parlor added, which will greatly increase the popular ity of the home. Tbe family of Mr. F. Klein, living on South street, received quite a scare this morning when it was discovered that shingles on tbe roof had in some manner caught afire from the flue. A bucket ef wa'er put out the flames in their incipiency and prevented damage.

S. W. Wilson, whose place is six miles east of the city, returned to-day from a visit to Edwards county, bring ing with him some fine samples of corn raised there this year. Mr. Wilson thinks that Sumner county is the best agricultural county in the state, but that Edwards county contains some very fine land.

Miss'Aileen Wood received a letter to-day from a banking firm in Adrian, Mich. requesting the loan of the mammoth 1,000 bill she used in making up ber costume when she represented the Wellington National Bank of this city in the late Merchant's Carnival. The bill is wanted to decorate a costume for a similar Carnival to be held in that The description of Miss Wood's costune was read in the Daily Stand ard. The Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal 1 church of this city gave another one of their pleasant sociables at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

H. F. Smith, on West Hai- vey avenue last evening. The late and popular game of Progressive Angling was the principle feature of the evening and was greatly enjoyed by all present. The prizes were won as follows: Miss Mossie Love, ladies prize; E.

N. Andrews, gentleman's prize; Miss Rhade Taylor, ladies' booby prize; Harry Loper, gentleman's booby prize. Some of the colored people of the city are oi the opinion that the Stand- ahd'b report of the Taylor-daman racket was not fair to the colored man involved. While we believe that both men were spoiling for a scrap atid that the affair was a very disgraceful one, we are willing to give what is said to be the true account of the inception of the dis turbance. Mr.

Harvey Coney, a witness to the affair, states the whole matter grew out of the men throwing dice for whisky, Glaman threw higher dice than Taylor and demanded that he go and get the whisky. Taylor made no com plaint but started off to get tho whisky, He had not gone far when Glaman called to him and asked hirn he had a gun Taylor answered no, and stuck his hands in his pockets to prove it when Glaman ran up and struck him, thus causing the fight. Belle Plaine Newt: In company with Mayor Howard we viewed Wellington's Salt plant Tuesday. Everything con nected with the plant is substantial and in first class order. The works are kept running day and night.

We brought away a sample of salt, right from the pan, which can be seen at this office and is as fine salt as any in the United States. Wellington should be proud of her salt industry. There so doubt is salt under lying this place, so why not put in a plant here. J. W.

A citizen of Corbin who called at the Standard office yesterday Baid that the excitement in that neighborhood over the affair mentioned in these columns two weeks ago, whereby Mr.

Henry Gru ben was cheated out of his farm, had not cooled off. The sight of Mr. Gruben and his blind wife. Denniless, whereas a few weeks ago they were in good circum stances, and the knowledge that they vara swindled out, of their DOHSeBsionS by smooth tongued scoundrels, masquer ading under the Barb of ministers, has roused the neighbors to a state of indig-ation that may soon culminate in something more serious than has been supposed possible. This gentleman informed us that word had been received in Corbin that a number of residents of Perth vicinity propose to use White Cap law with the man Joseph Rogers, now in possession ef Gruben's house and farm.

A notice is to be served on him giving him a certain period to vacate the premises, and if he does not comply with the order he will be summarily ejected. Should this plan be followed out many complications will at at once arise. Mr. Gruben has the sympathy of everyone who has heard his story, but we doubt the propriety of the move his hot-headed friends would make. The case has been taken into the courts now, and Gruben will undoubtedly gain lawful possession of his farm in the near future without resorting to such means.

So far the matters in dispute are concerned the Standard has no interest in or knowledge of then. It ie our policy to leave newspapers and newspaer editors to settle their own disputes, and attend to the management of our owe neatness. We depart from our rule in this instance because one of the parties concerned in' the present misunderstanding is a woman who has been denied space in the paper making charges against her.

A Correction. i A few days ago the Standard printed an item to the effect that Mr. Fred Rush had just returned from San Diego, and that he said ten carloads of people were leaving San Diego daily, The information contained in the item was obtained from Mr. 0. T.

Capps. Mrs. R. L. Davidson, daughter of Mr.

Bush, requests us to correct the statement. Mr. Bush, it seems, was misunderstood. What he meant to say was that on the day he left San Diego an excursion tram oi ten coaches departed from there for the east. Last Night's Fire.

Last evening shortly before nine o'clock, smoke and flames were seen is suing Irom a frame building in tbe rear of the Cole-Robinson block, owned by John Hirons and used by W. B. Seyi uiour as a store-room for hay and grain. The building was a mass oi flames before tbe fire bell was sounded, but after the first tap of the bell the fire companies lost no time in setting on the scene. Luckily there was no wind at the time, else the wholo west side of the block on Washington avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets might have gone up in smoke.

The building was filled with baled hay, millet and oats, there being 2,000 bush els of the latter. As soon as the fire companies arrived two streams of water were thrown on the fire. It was 10:30 before the firemen had put out all the sparks and were satisfied to leave the wrecked building. The loss is estimated at 5000. The building and contents were insured for There is no clue as to the origin of the fire.

Farewell Surprise Party. Mr. Edmund Frantz, who will leave Wellington for Illinois next week, was surprised by a large numberof hisfriends last evening at the residence of Mr. John Staub in the northern part of the city. The evening was pleasantly passed with music and social enjoyment.

W3b, is, comparatively larje number 'of kavi never viaited tbe plant ati have but a poor idea of the pro- eras employed In raking tbe salt from it ted. two hundred and thirty feetbi low the ground, to the light of day and preparing it lor the market. The drill hole that reaches tbe salt is enclosed with two hollow pipes, one with la tbe other. Down tbe outer pipe, pure water from a main of the city works, is forced by tbe ordinary pressure, and af ter becoming impregnated with the salt it rises in tbe inner pipe, and runs into the large evaporating pan. The force from tbe waterworks, elevates the brine into the pan here, while at Hutchinson It is necessary to use an extra pump, the salt being so much farther below the sur face, that the pressure from the water main will not raise it to the pan.

The pan" is a huge affair, made of steel plates and twenty-two by seventy feet in dimension. Under it are three furnaces, which every twenty-four hours consume five tons of Around the pan runs a platform about ten feet wide and over the whole affair, stretching across and leaving on either side storage room for the salt, is the wooden frame or covering, fifty-six feet wide and one hundred long, which protects the pan and workmen from changes in the weather outside, and allows the manu facture to go on without interruption. Tbe brine gushes up through the pipe and runs into a storage tank connected with tbe end of the pan farthest from the furnaces, which is partitioned off by a board across the pan. It slowly soaks through under the board into a second compartment, and again into the main part of the pan. In this th brine is boiling furiously, and the steam ascend ing heavenward through an opening in the roof the entire length of the building.

The process of the separation of the salt, from the water can be plainly not-. ed by any close observer. The salt first rises to the top, forming a thin crust over the liquid. This constantly thickens until it becomes heavy and sinks to the bottom. Twelve times a day, or about every two hours, the workmen begin gathering the salt.

The process is denominated "raking," a flat sheet of iron fixed transversely on a long pole is used to draw the salt deposited all over the pan, near to the sides. The "raking" begins on both sides at once, and the whole building is filled with steam throughout the operation. After going over the whole pan twice with the long handled rake, a shorter one is used to draw the salt up out of the pan onto a sloping platform, where the water drains out. The raking and drawing out is repeated again and by this time, the platforms are about full. A cart is run alongside and the salt scooped into it, and it is then dumped into the bin to dry before being barreled.

Each raking yields about three cartloads on a side, the cart holding two barrels of salt. The next operation of interest to the visitor is the making of the barrels, which is carried on in a building a short distance south. The staves, hoops and heads are piled up in the building, nearly filling it, A workman selects enough staves for a barrel, and deftly places them upright in a circle, one end inside a heavy wooden hoop. The other end of the staves are drawn together with a rope, and two other such hoops placed around, one at each end and one in the After these hoops are driven on tightly, the barrel, (or this much of it) is placed over an upright iron cylinder filled with fire, a cap is placed over it, and the staves heated thoroughly. It is then taken off, the ends of the staves trimmed off evenly, a groove for the heads to fit in cut around either end, six hoops and the heads added, the shaping hoops which originally held the staves in place are knocked off and the barrel is finished.

A skilled workman can turn out forty barrels a day. These barrels are now hauled to where the salt is stored. One head is taken out and two hundred and eighty pounds of salt scooped inti it. The head is re placed, the grade of the salt and name of the company is marked theteon and the barrels are ready to be loaded into tbe cars and' sent out to any part oj the 'j; The plant now in operation employes fourteen men and turns out about one hundred and fifty barrels of salt every twenty-four hours. The salt sells readi-J ly at II pep barrel on board the cars 'i 'y: Work will be begun, Monday on anoth er pan alBjW4 th present One, which will, when completed, doable tbe eapac-ity of ikepUn't.
