The Fuel Question
A Cheap and Practical Straw Burner

ChGap and PRACTICAL straw tSurner
Some time since the Dakota Farmer,
(tnat best Of all agricultural papers for
our farmer friends), contained Il sugges-
ton for constructing Il cheap straw
burner. The method was SO cheap and
simple that number of subscribers
tried it; among the number being part
les in Hand County, Oak. The idea
suggested was somewhat improved on,
and the interest liz the simple little IN
vention grew until to-day the demand
for the Dakota Farmer Straw Burner
can hardly be supplied in that neigh
borhood, and one timer alone has con-
structed and sold over fifty of them in
less than two weeks. The invention is
not patented and can be used by any
one, and is just as good us though it,
cost ten times the actual amount neces-
sary to make it. 1t can be made readi
lv by any timer and need not cost oyer
$500, allowing II reasonable profit
The following are some of the testi
monials of this simple invention from
practical farmers. Read every one of
them and satisfy yourselves that you.
can save the larger part of your coal
bills this winter.
TESTIMONIALS.
EDITOR BusnNELL:-Thc method OF
burning straw as suggested in the
| FARMER is the best and only successful
manner that have ever tried. It's
beauty lies in its simplicity and it Is so
cheap that any body can afford it. 1t is

B. L. HITE.
| w. F.. r. BUsunELL EsQ.:-I have
tried burning straw by the use of the
Dakota Farmer Straw Burner, as it is
called here, and it has proved great
success. Itdoes well with oat, wheat,
| or il;tx straw, or even corn stalks. j
4 can build fire IN It that will drive
every one out of doors, or can regulate
it SO that it will burn for hours, and no
| straw press is needed.

WHAT KILLED VANDERBILT
did He Have u Violent Quarrel With
Young Garrett:

The New York Star prints long story
headed, "How did Vanderbilt Die?" The
gist of it is this: Garrett called on Van
derbilt because he had heard that Presi-
dent Green of the Western Union was
seeking under contract with the New
York Central, to take from the Baltimore
and Ohio the privilege Of working wires
on the West Shore Road. The interview
lasted an hour and half. Vanderbilt, it
is avcrrcd, rejected all Garrett's proposals
looking to a settlement satisfactory to the
Baltimore and Ohio. As Garrett naturally
became more earnest and Indignant, Van.
derbilt grew more and more excited and
angry. At last the elimination was
reached. A few broken, inarticulatc words
were blurted out, the massive form lurched
forward from the chair, and VIM. II. Van.
derbilt fell PROSTATE, senseless and dying,
stricken down by apoplexy.
The Star says DR.. Green admits that
the Western Union was seeking control of
the West Shore wires, and Mr.. Depew ad.
mits that Garrett told him the matter was
the subject of conversation when Wander
bilt fell. DR.. James w. McLane, who had
been Vanderbilt's physician for five years
before his death, considers the fatal event
almost in the light of tragedy. He says
that there were no indications of paralysis
or apoplexy about his patient.

JARDINE GONE TO JORDAN.
The Priest Who Was Mixed Up in II ham
sas City Scandal Commits Suicide.

AT ST Louis, on Jan. 10th, quite a sen.
sation was produced when late that night
the coroner announced that Rev. II. g.
Jardine, who was some weeks ago con-
vcted before an ecclesiastical court at
Kansas City, 'had committed suicide. It
appears that Jardine, since his arrival
some days ago to consult with his attorney
regarding his case, had been lodging in the
vestay room Of Trinity Church, Of which
Father Belts is rector. Last evening Jar
dine and his attorney, Mr.. Harrison, and
Father Belts had a prolonged conference
in the vestry room, during which Mr.. Har.
| rison very decidedly expressed the opinion
that Bishop Robertson would not grant
Jardine rehearing Of his case. This had
some effect upon Jard;ne, and he mani.
tested considerable feeling, repeatedly de.
claring his innocence Of the charges for
| which he had been tried and the justice Of
his demand for a new trial; but when Mr..
Harrison and Father Belts left, about 1
O'Clock that morning, il was not thought
.Jardine was seriously disturbed. When
Father Belts arrived at church early that
morning he observed Jardine still in bed,
hu, did not disturb him and went on with
his early services. Later the sexton OF
The church went to the vcstry room, to
wake |ardine, and found him in deep sleep
breathing heavily. He Immediately called
Deacon Dyer, assistant to Belts, who on
entering the room detected chloroiorm and
sent for physicians. On the arrival of the
doctors they discovered that ,]ardine had
taken chloroiorm and Immediately adopted
vigorous measures to restore him. Atte,
three hours Of continuous efforts, however
they announced that he vas dead. The
coroner was notified, and after hearing al
obtainablc testimony verdict Of suicide
by chlorotorm was rendered. The bod,
was prepared for burial, and now lies ii
the vcstry room. 1t will be taken to Kan
sas City for interment. The fact of thu
suicide was known to but few during th'
day, and received no publicity until th'
coroner reported the case. The case i
likely to create 4 great sensation in churcl
circles, as Mr.. Jardine is said to have bee,
very popular in his denomination.

The Columbia River.

Senator Mitchell, OF Oregon, introduced
and the Senate passed a resolution that has
some significance to shippers of through
freight over the Northern Pacific Sen
ator Mitchell states that the Columbia river
is navigable for 1903, miles for large draft
vessels, except for the distractions at the
Cascades, 100 miles from the mouth, which
are about five miles long, and the greater
distractions ut the Dalles---co miles from
the mouth. While there is such I. long
water route nearly available the freight
charges on wheat from the Dallcs TO Port
land, IS miles, are /. cents per bu>hcl, and
from Waiiula to Portland: 10 miles, IS
cents. The resolution directs the Senate
Committee on Transportation routes ta
the scaboard to examine and report on the
feasibility Of Improving the Columbia
as to overcome the distractions and secure
competitition with the railroads.

AGAIN POSTPONED.


The charges of violating the gambling
law arising out of pool selling on base
ball games came up before Judge llar-
per to-day in the Police Court Martin
Flahcrty was charged under one section
of the law with setting up a gambling
device, and John A. Kennedy of 033 ID
street was charged under the second
section of the law with allowing q
gaming table to be set up In house
under his control. The case has at
tracted considerable attention, and a
vigorous fight will be made by the de-
PENDANTS.
Messrs. c. s. Moore, Thomas +.
Miller and G. NJ. Smith have been re-
tanned by the defendants to look out
for their rights, Mr.. Moore asked the
court TO continue the case. He referred
to the case of Orlando Jones, charged
with the same ofIensc in connection
with horse race pools, and said this
court had already decided that there
was no violation of law in the conduct
of this business. Mr.. Moore said the
decision of the court was made In view
of the decision of the Court of Appeals
OF Maryland, and he wanted more time
TO look into the law, and hunt up the
decision referred to.
Judge Harper said he would also be
pleased to be referred TO the decisions
spoken of. The case went over to the
18th Of next month The Government
will contend that this case Is not parallel
with the Jones case, because the de-
PENDANT in this case takes out a per-
centoge of the money paid into the
pools and divides the rest among the
winners.
There is more depending on the re-
suit of this case than is generally be.
lieved, because If it Is held, all Of the
turf exchanges where pools are sold
on the races will be raided. The po
lice yesterday stopped one branch OF
the horse race pool.selling business
what is known as box combinations.

The New Line to New Work.

The Baltimore and Ohio last evening
started through emigrant and express carry
ing trains from New York and Baltimore
simultaneously. The route is over the Jer-
sey Central and the Reading roads to Birds
boro', Pa, and thence over the Wilmington
and Northern Road of the Reading system
of the Philadelphia Division OF the Balti-
more and Ohio ut Wilmington, Del. The
traffic arrangement between the Jersey
Central, Philadelphia and Reading and Bal
timore and Ohio has finally been signed
The Baltimore and Ohio will use the Read
ing Road from Philadelphia to Bound Brook
aud the Jersey Central from Bound Brook
to Elizabeth. From the latter place it will
build over the Arthur XIII bridge into
Staten Island, whore it will have its own
separate and distinct New York terminus.
The contract, however, provides that for
two years the Baltimore and Ohio will use
the Jersey Central terminus for It's freight
business and for six years for its passenger
business. After these periods the Baltimore
and Ohio can send its freight and passen-
gers to Staten Island without objection
from the Jersey Central. If it chooses to
use its own terminus sooner than the con
tract provides, the Jersey Central will
have to be paid just the same as If Its
terminus was used.
