Arthur Brisliane, in one of his d illy
editorials in the New York Evening
Journal, quotes, as he says, from the
circular of a Philadelphia whisky
firm, as follows:
Possibly 92 or 93 per cent of tlie
whisky sold in Pniladelpliia is what is
technically termed by the trade
“blende! whisky.” The manner of its
preparation is about as fo lo vs: For a
barrel ol 48 gallons possibly 38 to 40
gallons of cologne spirits are put Into
a .tank—cologne spirits being the
either of the whisky, which passes
from the still in the process of distill
ing, as benzine precedes Illuminating
oil in the dis'illing of petroleum. It
is a neutral spirit, having no taste; but
its effect up >n the human system is
very pernicious, and, when taken to
excess, it dies to the brain aod pro
duces very unpleasant results. To
thia 30 or 4 gallons of cologne spirits
possibly foui gallons of straight
whisky are added, together with two
gallons of prune juice, two gallons of
peach juice and a little vanilla, pine
apple or some other flavor to give it a
distinctive and pronounced character.
Thia compound, or blend, is allowed
to stand for some months, until the
component parts are all blended. The
compound is then bottled or barreled,
widely adverti-ed and sold under
fancy and alluring names, at ] rices
ranging from 75 cents to *2 a bottle.

Commutation Act in Danger e

Chairman Lacey of the public lands
committee of the lower house of Coo-
greas has presented an elaborate argu
ment against repealing the commuta
tion clau-e of the homestead act. By
statistics be showed there bad been
no alarming increase in the number of
commuted homesteads tn late yeais,
and there was notbing whatever in
the records to show that auy c< nsider-
able number of frauds h id been perpe
trated under that law. On the con
trary, he maintained that the depart
ment has it in its [owerto administer
this law so as to prevent frauds. La by
admitted it might tie advisable to 1 -
crease the p’ice per acre to be paid on
commuted entries. He thought *5 an

justified, however.
Representative Mondell of Wyom
ing made a similar argument, and
Senator Fulton, who happened to be
present, expressed the off-hand view
that no reason existed why the com
mutation law should be repealed.
He was convinced that no particular
fraud was perpetrated ULder its pro
visions.
Old Law Still Stands.
State Superintendent
Ackerman
says that the law directing county
school superintendents of the state to
make semi-annual app irtionments 11
each school district was not abolhbei
at the last regular session of the Leg
islature, as has been inferred.
The only respect in which the old
law was modified was that the appor
tionments in October and April of
each year were made obligatory on
the part of the county superintendent,
any other distribution of funds being
discretionary with the superinten
dent.
At the special session of the Legis
lature the provision for a per capita
tax of *6 for each pupil was eliminat
ed and the old law authorizing a fi
rn ill tax was re-en acted, so that the
school law In this respect is the same
as it was formerly. As it now stan s,

A considerable portion of the valley '
has been enveloped in fog during tbe
past several days. This is something
unusual as well as disagreeable. The
sun shines brightly every day in higher
altitudes, however.
Two more carloads of machinery for
the Lucky Boy Mining Company’s
great electric power plant at Blue
River have arrived. This shipment
consisted of the huge water wheel and
appurtenances.
Will. Young, an energetic young
miner, and Miss Inez Luttrell, one of
Ncott Valley’s fairest daughters, were
united in matrimony by Judge Chas.
Prim Christmas Eve. They are re
ceiving the congratulations and best
wishes of all.
A mask ball was held at the residence
of Josh. Neathammer, one of the

attended end everything passed off
nicely. Excellent music and supper
were provided.
Representative Wiliiamion has intro-
duettd a bill providing that Indian War
Veterans shall be entitled to admission
to the various Federal Soldiers’ Homes
in the United States on the same terms
and under such conditions as veterans
of the Civil War.
Adjutant-General Finzer has checked
up the Indian War veterans' claims
against the State and found *142,859.-
36 in claims, of which amount has been
paid an even *100,000, the full amount
of tue appropriation. He has on hand
suspended claims aggregating *850.
Jas Crooemiller and Harry Luy,
who have been confined to their
homes with what is called Manila!.ch,
are able to be about again. A few
other residents of Jacksonville are like
wise afflicted. Dr. Gale pronounces the
disease a species of varioloid, but not at
all dangerous.
Two of the principal social events of
the holiday season were the balls given
at Phoenix and Central Point Christ
mas night under the auspices of the lo
cal lodges of the A. O. U. W. The

stance were first-class. Extensive prep

spring.
A serious shooting affray was car-
rowly averted at Phoenix Christmas
night, probably because the pistol of
one of the combatants did not explode.
It grew out of the exchange of hats by
a number of young men, and was a
silly affair in the extreme. Anybody
who carries a gua should never be al
lowed to attend a social event of any
kind, but ought to be promptly ar
rested and punished instead.

last Monday that might have proved
fatal. He was engaged in repairing

no serious results.
