Fast Time In Michigan.
"Tho people- In Grand Rnplds, Kala
mazoo, Niles, Ann Arbor, Wayne, Ypsl.
lanti and other Micliigan town's are
twenty-soven minutes more rapid than
tho rest of tho world, and at tho samo
time aro 'way behind tho times," re
marked George Westiake, a drummer
for a Cincinnati paper company. Mr.
Westlako talked as If ho wero not at all
pleased with the indication of rapid
progress in the Wolverlno state, and de
clared it was tho occasion of lib losing
valuable- time. "When I say tho pec
plo are rapid thero," continued tho trav
eler, "I mean that they keep their
clocks twenty-seven minutes ahead of
standard time. "When tho scientific
men discovered that tho world was
twenty-seven minutes too rapid tho
edict went forth that tho hands of tho
clocks and watches should bo turned
back.
"Nearly everybody recognized that
the earth could not keep paco with tho
sun, but tho Micliigan people would
not acknowledge this, and positively
refused to adopt standard time. All
tho clocks In tho hotels, stores, resi
dences and boarding houses In tho
Michigan towns ore run on what is
called 'city timo,' which is the old time.
Tho railroad trains, however, run on
standard time, and as travelers aro
compelled to eat on 'city time,' etc.,
and aro not notiiied of this out of date
stato of affairs, tho stranger gets to tho
depot just in timo to learn that his train
lias been gono a half hour." Chicago
Tribune.
How Rubbers Are Made.
Many people suppose that rubber
shoes aro uiado by molting tho ma
terial and running it into molds. Suoh
is not tho case.
The manufacture of rubber shoes is
not very much different from tho man
ufacture of leather shoes. They aro
made on lasts just the same, but in
stead of being sowed they are cemented.
"Wo get most of the raw material
from South America," Baid a drummer.
"It is about the color of molasses, and
is of a spongy nature.
"First it goes through a crushing or
rolling process, and comes out. in
rough sheets and looks very much liko
a cow's iiide. Then it is taken into a
compounding room, where it is mixed
with a compound and vulcanized.
"After that it is cut up into small
pieces, according to tho parts of shoes
which wo wish to got, and is afterward
fitted on to lasts by tho workmen in
tho samo manner that leather is."

"Wo do not desire fusion with
tho democrats," . Bays President
McOrath, of the Southern farmers'
alliance lu Kansus, "for the reason
that there is nothing to fuso with.
Wo have destroyed that party in
Kansas, leaving nothing of It save
a few superannuated fossils, whom
wo do not waut,"
Prcsidout McQrath states a fact
whloh Is not generally sufllclontly
considered.
Tho Southern alliance did lust
year sweep away, at least tempor
arily, thousands of republicans
from the discipline of tho party.
The republican being tho party in
local power had to bear the brunt of
tho tempest. It lost the lower
branch of the last legislature and
tho legislature in Joint session, thus
falling in the senatorial contest.
The republican party was hurt, of
course, by tho Southern alliance
movement as a political agitation lu
Kansas, aud the hurt has been
greatly exaggerated by those whose
views of politics is generally nar
rowed to a single campaign or to a
local result. But the republican
party in Kunsas did not lose its or
ganization nor its supremacy In tho
state. The party stood ns firm as
au oak lu tho storm, aud in the cri
sis showed a clean popular majority,
electing the stato ticket entire.
It was never In bettor condition
to tight than today.
Tho democratic party in Knnsns
Is different. President McQruvb
correctly describes tho situation
wheu he says that the democratic
party was practically swept out of
existence by the Southern nlllauce
wave. The party completely lost its
organization. Its leaders dishon
estly sought to increase agitation, in
t no impoo t breaking down tuo re-
publcan party, but they could not
rule tho storm. Tbo democratic
masses in most of tho counties were
lost in the new movement. The
majority or t'jo democratic orgaus
renounced the old party and be
came tho exponents of the new.
They became involved in associa
tions which they cunuot now break
oO. Tho predicamont of great
numbers of the local democratic
leaders Is the same.
Oyer a great portion of Kansas
thus there Is no local democratlo or
ganization for tho democratic mem
bers of the Southern alliance or of
the people's party, which, for tho
most part, Is another form of tho
that alllauco to rally on. Accor
dingly, the few democratic leaders,
who in tho new circumstances of
another year's politics are trying
either to realign or to barter their
party, aro embarassed. Tho South
orn alllauco leaders, having destroy
ed the democratlo organization, do
splso propositions to barter and to
fuso and they mock tho bosses.
The republican party in Kunsas Is
in a condition of halcyon prospeIty

The Albany Democrat, true to its
democratic Instiucts, says, in italics:
"There is Just as much reason for
giving a bounty to the wheat grower
us to the sugar producer." But it
assigns no argument to support this
straugo proposition, aud, wo pre
sume, for the best reason, because
there are uone. It Is a fact that this
country has not produced enough
sugar to pupply ono-thlrd of tho de
mand, uud, whllo the republican
party docs not believe in taxing
necessary articles, it advocates tho
fostering of all homo productions.
By aid from the government beet
sugar could bo produced, aud this
bounty is to encourage tho growth
und manufacture of this necessities
of life. America exports mlllloiiH of
bushels of wheat every year, nnd a
bounty given to growers could In no
wlfio stimulate agriculture, By tho
exercise of a llttlo common sense,

GitEUNSHuna, Pa., July 81, Joel
Moore, a wealthy citizen of Jcnn
uctto, who mysteriously disappeared
several days ago, was discovered
yesterday morning lying half fam
ished and nearly dead, in a lonely
ravine somo distance south of that
place. He was carried home, but Is
suffering severely from starvation
and tho exposure ho has undergone.
Tho whereabouts of the old gentle
man was disclosed by the arrest of
Joseph and Madison Johnson, the
two notorious "speak-easy" propri
etors, who wero captured last night
through the extraordinary efforts of
five officers, after a shooting conflict
from behind tho trees. Tho John
son brothers had been terrorizing
tho community for over a year, and
their headquarters had been a loaf
ing place for toughs of tho most des
perate character. On the evening
of tho disappearance of Mr. Mnore,
he was seen in tho company of ono
of the Johnsons. Ho was known to
havo a large sum of money with
him, aud wheu ho failed to return
that night his friends becamo
alarmed ana at ouco instituted
search. All sorts of dark rumors
begau to bo circulated. Tho officers
dually mado a descont upon tho
Johnson place, mid tho two brothers
wero captured, together with several
of their associates. Ono of tho men
tuken becamo frightened at the
threats of tho officers, and revealed
tho place whero tho old man was
hidden. Tho cave was visited, and
he was found suffering great agony.
His money was gone, aud ho had
been roughly treated, If ho had
not been found, his death would
soon havo occurred.
