$130,000 SPENT
ON RAHR PLANT.
The Greatest Malting House in
the World.
RENOVATED WORKS SOON TO OPEN.
Improvements Made By the Biff Manito
woc Concern,
A NEW' ENGINE WILL RUN MACHINERY.
Reinhardt Rahr Gives a Description of What
Has Been Accomplished Durinff the
Past Six Months,
The new malting plant of The
William Rahr Sons’ Cos., work upon
which was begun in the early spring, is
now nearing completion. The plant
when finished will be a model of its
kind and as perfect as any malt house
in the Uniied States. It can be said it
is the largest pneumatic malt house in
the world, having a capacity of 1,250,000
bushels. The remodeled plant, upon
which $130,000 has been spent will lie in :
operation about Nov. 20. In an inter I
view with Reinhardt Rahr he gave a i
description of the plant as follows:
“In arranging the new buildings of
the plant the management had con
stantly 7 in aim the one view of econo
mizing labor in every way. With that
end in view the river elevator was
moved to the vacant lot adjoining and
next to their large elevator “P”. A
large addition was built to it and this
small elevator will now be used exclu
sively as a taking in and cleaning’
house. The barley can be taken in at
one and the same time at three different
points. On one side it can he taken in
from the local dealers. On another
side it can Ik; taken in independently
from the farmers, and on the third side,
facing the track, cars can be unloaded.
“The facilities for unloading cars
are unsurpassed. The barley simply
falling down into a pit directly und
erneath the car. from which it is
carried up by means of an 18 elevator
into a large hopper above, from which
it is again distributed over the different
cleaning and grading machines, (of
which there are four) after which it
passes into the storage elevator as
cleaned a graded barley. All of this
is done with a single handling.
“Everything that goes into the plant
or passes through the plant is subject
to a double system of weighing so as to
rectify mistakes, if any should occur.
“The cleaned and graded barley then
passes over head into the steeping vats
and from thence by means of dipes it is
flnshel into the lig pneumatic com
partments. each having a capacity of
•2500 bushels. "The system adopted by
The William Rahr Sons’ Cos. is the so
called Saladin system. The steeped
barley is placed in large compartments
having perforated bottoms from which
the air is exhausted by means of large
air channels, during the process of ger
mination, passing out into the open air.
This is done by means of a large 11 ft.
fan which requires a forty horse power
engine to drive it. The compartments
are supplied with fresh air which has
first passed through the attemperating
room and there undergo a thorough
process of purification. The cold air as
it is taken from the atmosphere in win
ter passes through coils of steam pipes,
where it is warmed to the proper tem
perature. It then passes through a
large chamber where the proper amount
of moisture is given to it by means of a
very ingenius device. From this room
it passes through the filtering chamber,
where all the impurities are removed
mechanically. The purified and attem
perated air then passes through and
over the malt.
After the proper germination the
green malt passes through the kilns,
where it is dried, On the kilns there is
also large and ingenius machinery
which keeps stirring the malt constantly
while it is Iteiug dried.
Another economic device has been
adopted in the plant of The William
Ruhr Sons’ Cos. By a system of pipes
the entire exhaust steam from all of the
pumps and engines of the entire plant
passes through large radiators and this
heat here given off which had always
heretofore 1h en a loss, is thus reclaimed
and made us-* of in drying the malt.
From the kiln the malt again passes
in the cleaning house where it is pro
perly cleaned and weighed and then by
means of elevators passes into their
slate-sided elevator “I*", ready to be
shipped.

WHAT HURT BRYAN
IN THE COUNTY.
Farmers Were Scared That Busi

THEY ARE AGAINST IMPERIALISM.
Believed Free Silver Imminent and Voted
Against it.
SENTIMENT PREVAILS ALL OVER COUNTY.
| Farmers Who Would Liked to Have Voted
\gainst Mr. McKinley W ere Prevented
From Voting For Bryan.
Many of the Democrats who came to
the city from the county on the day
after election gathered in small throngs
during the day and interchanged views
on the party's defeat throughout the
country. It seemed to be the unani
mous sentiment that the Democrats
were beaten because the Kansas City
platform had come out squarely for free
silver. < hie farmer who resides in
Newton whose name is withheld said
■ While free silver had h ss effect this
I year than it had four years ago. yet the
fact is that its influence was sufficiently
j detrimental to prevent many Herman
j Republicans in our town from voting
against inqierialism. They took the
| ground that while imperialism was a
bad thing and they wanted none of it,
vet it did not so immediately and directly
, concern them as did the possibility that
| the financial jiolicy of thecountry should
! lie changed. The fear, a false one 1
know, that Mr. Bryan’s election would
upset business conditions was evident
I everywhere and that is why the far
mers were lagging in their opjiosition to
imperialism.'
