THE new process of converting ore
into steel is known as the Clapp-Grif-
fith , and is attracting much attention
by the promise it makes of greatly sim
plifying the methods and reducing the
labor involved in the present modes of
treatment. Few puddlers will be needed ,
their work being mostly done by machin
ery. The product is a steel very low
in carbon "which can be worked and
welded as easy as the softest iron. "
Competent opinion has declared that
this process will successfully rival the
Bessemer process. One great advant
age will be that of utilizing the high-
phosphorous ore of the Lake Superior
region at better prices. The Bessemer
ore men will suffer , but the decrease of
consumption of that variety will not
equal the increased consumption of all.
It will probably check the importation
of iron ores. Iron men from the south
and from the northwest have investi
gated the process and appear to regard
it favorably. Its adoption will mean a
genuine revolution. Ores high in phos
phorus , heretofore of na use , will be
available. Puddling will be largely done
away with. Some considerable quantity
of labor will be displaced , but in the
long run the greatest good of the great
est number will be subserved. Journal.
THEY are getting this flirting business
down about right in Missouri. A young
man was passing a private seminary for
young ladies at Kirkwood , when some
of the dashing beauties therein confined
waved their handkerchiefs at him. lie
was thereby encouraged to go over the
fence and invite the fair creatures to
come into the garden Maud. He was
deluged with a bowl of suspicious slops
from the third window by a plain young
woman who envied the second story
girls their admirer , and was further
more arrested for trespass and fined $20.
It would seem to be about right for the
first offense. The giddy girls were more
severely punished. They were dragged ,
blushing and trembling , into court to
testify in the case. Topics.
A. J. RITTENHOUSE , a former resi
dent of this eity , has his weather eye
on the McCook land office. Ord Quiz.
THE Sutton Register has the follow
ing words of commendation to say of
Ben Cowdrey's appointment as secretary
of the railroad commission from the third
district :
AuditorBabcock has selected B. P. Cowdry ,
of Columbus , as the secretary from that dis
trict. Mr. Cowdry is a clear-headed , fair-mind
ed man , and untrammelled by any influences
that would deter him from doing his full duty
to the people. It is more than probable that
the Railroad Commission will not make any
appreciable change in the relations between
the people and the railroads. The law under
which it is to act does not confer sufficient au
thority to enable the commission to do that.
But if tho other secretaries are as able and fail-
as 3Ir. Cowdry we shall expect them to make
the most of the means at their command.
THE Philadelphia Record suggests the
following plan for working men to adopt ,
if they would be a power in the world.
, We would like to see the same put into
practice :
"If the wolkintf men of the United States
would rcfmin from using spirituous and malt
liquors and tobacco in every form for a period
of ninety da > s there would result a revolution
iu'tjovcrnincnt and society the like of which
civilization never experienced. Such an expe
dient to better the condition of the wage work
ers has never been tried ; yet in this country ,
they Inn e the power in their own hands , by the
practice of a little self-denial , to force nation
al , state , and municipal legislators to consider
them as an important factor in all legislation.
From Oxford to McCooii is sixty miles as the
crow llies , and that is the way the B. &M. runs.
On the way we pass Arapahoe , Cambridge and
Indianola , all pretty towns and located on the
north tide of the river. All along crops looked
splendid , and only needed the rain that has
since fallen , to make them coin , wheat and
oats ahead of crops in the land between Lin
coln and Hastings , where the rain up to this
time has been more than was needed. Near
McCook I saw the finest field of corn of the
season , and then , a'week ago yesterday , one
could from the car window trace the rows of
plants across an eighty. McCook has 1,500 peo
