Do You Burn Hard Coal

Many Of our people are employed a.
engineers and firemen to hard coal
stoves this winter for the first time.
On who has had some experience in
managing hard coal offers q few sug.
gestiOns TO beginners. Instead Of rak.
ing the Goals into the ash pan with the
poker, as many do who are unused to
this kind of fuel, you have only to
shake the CRATE, which will give the
required result in heat. Unlike other
kinds, the burning substance of hard
coal is only half consumed when II Is
apparently reduced to ciRders. These
''cinders," instead of returning, the
unaccustOmed throw away as useless,
when by only shaking the CRATE in.
stea,. of using the poker, this waste
could be avoided. This mode of pro-
ceeding would not only save expense
to the consumer of hard coal, but 1t
would be matter Of justice to coal
dealers, who, some claim. misrepre-
sent this kind Of fuel, when the fault
lies wholly with your management of
of your stove. Were it not for this
unnecessary waste, many who are now
using hard instead of soft coal would
find it to he nearly as cheap, and it Is
infinitely more agreeable. t

The Kansas Benevolent Society.

lG Undoubtedly many Of our readers
are well aware that the business Of the
Kansas Benevolent Society has been
suspended for some time. The Ques-
ton has been raised as to whether or
not the Association was o Benevolent
Association under the meaning of the
statute. To test the legality and mean
ing thereof an agreed statement OF
facts was presented to Judge Prescott,
under the direction ofC. A. Hitler,
the attorney of the association, and
Col. Spivey, Attorney for the
State. The legal ability of these
gentlemen is well-known. Both have
ably presented their respective cases,
and it now remains for the Judge to
deliver his opinion. The matter will
be settled on tomorrow or next day.
If the case is favorable for the associa-
ton, the business connected there
with will be prosecuted with renewed
vigor. The Secretary, Col. Culp, has
been patiently awaiting the disposition
Of the case. AS soon as determined he
will set his agents to work.

On Tuesday evening the Masquerade
party was given by the members Of
the Salina Opera Cornet Band, ut the
Opera House, but was not the sue
cess, financially, that the enterprise
should have been. Not that anything
calculated to make the party success
was left undone by the members Of the
band, for all the arrangements were
complete in every particular and re-
Elected great credit upon the organiza-
ton. The number Of maaquera,lers
was small, and ~ . consequence the
rollicking, cheerful effect usual to these
parties was lost. But those present
were bent on enjoying themselves and
succeeded most admirably. The music
was furnished by the full orchestra
connected with the band organization,
and was very fine. At halE.past eleven
O'Clock the company were carried In
buses TO the Pacific House, where >
splendid banquet was spread and
awaiting them. This supper was with
out question the finest and most eiab-
crate ever given in Salina. There
were all the dainties, not only Of the
season, but what art could add" The
arrangement OF the tables was mag.
nificent and added III it were possible,
to the fame which is already 50 uni
versally accorded Mrs. Jeffries for per-
fiction in the art Of table decoration.
The supper was served under the SUI
pervision of Mr.. r. X. Jefffies with
marvellous ease. After the supper the
party returned to the Open House
and continue'i the dancing for several
hours.
