A BAULKY ENGINE.
But the Party Makes tEe Test of tho
Morton Safety Heater.

Two cars which had been equipped
with the apparatus of the Morton
safety heater, and which were to have
carried load of Roanoke capitalists
to Buchanan and back again, stood on
the track of the Shenandoah this
morning. They were ready for the
trip and so were the capitalists, but
at the last moment the locomotive
that was to have furnished the motive
power, became baulky and it was
thought best not to trust it.
But, though the trip could not be
made, Captain Branscom who had
charge of the affair determined that
the test should SO he invited the
gentlemen who had assembled TO the
lower portion of the yard and the cars
soon followed them. Among the
party was President Trout, Of the
Roanoke and Southern; Councilman
Buckner, Professor William Taylor
Thorn, DR.. Sorrell, Mr. Eugene Car
rington and number of other gentle
men. Vice President Eddy joined
them soon after they arrived.
The cars were backed up to where
the party stood waiting and Supern-
leliutHb llOlusOn- Will d CctlpiC VI
thermometers under his arm, led the
way inside. The atmosphere inside
was pleasant and the thermometers
registered seventy-three. The gentle
man sat down and told stories while
the steam connections were being
made. In a couple of minutes two of
the party who had on overcoats took
them off, in three minutes they were
using their hats as fans, while the
hands of the thermometer went stead
lily up. Then tiny bead of perspi-
ration rolled down the extensive brow
of one of the party anA1ropped off
from the end of his ngss5.ss In exactly
ten minutes the thermgneter register
ed eighty-siX degrees, or a rise of
thirteen. Then the steam was cut of
but the temperature continued to
rise rapidly and twelve minutes later
it was ninety-nine degrees. BY this
time most of the party had vacated
the car and they voted the system an
eminent success. 1t is simple like
most great inventions are. Its the
same thing in principal that they use
in Germany said DR.. Sorrell. "On the
trains there they use porcelain stoves
and after keeping fire in them for Il
couple of hours it is allowed to go out.
But all the same the cars are comfort
ably heated for a long time after
wards
Yes answered another gentleman,
that is just where the superiority of
the system over others is manifest.
1t is in storage. All other systems OF
steam heating have to have continu-
Gus supply of steam, thus constantly
robbing the locomotives of the power
it needs and must have. By the
Morton system the heat is stored
when the train is going down grade
or at standstill, and SO that diff.
Guilty is ohviated The heat is stored
in the four inch offenders under the
seat. These offenders contain terra
Gotta composition and retain the
heat for hours"

ment of the company will be held III

pected TO take steps looking toward

stupendous Frauds in Kansas

By United Press.
NEW YORK, April, %, 1904
special from Paris, Texas, gives the
details of stupendous fraud which
has been practiced in Stevens county,
Kansas, upon charitable people of
the west. On account of short
crops last year many farmers were
left in need of neessaries of life.
A relief committee was formed, and
an appeal for aid sent out. To this
generous response was received in
the shape of provisions, clothing,
etc.
The two hundred distressed families
were soon placed beyond want. Then
a number of rascals managed to get
possession of further supplies as they
came in, and actually organized a
stock company to dispose of them and
pocket the proceeds. These men
have filled their smoke-houses, cribs
and cellars with meat, corn, oats,
wheat and potatoes given them by
charitable strangers, besides realizing
considerable money on articles which
they sold.
1t is openly charged that the Stevens
County Relief committee was organiz
ed to speculate upon charitable pro-
clivities of the people of the country.
The fraud has been very shrewdly
managed, and even the people of
Kansas are not aware of the swindle.

CLARK PERSON, Editor.

The ballot reform bill introduced in
the Senate yesterday by Senator Werts, of
Morris, is a very lengthy, complicated and
unsatisfactory document. II is partisan
in character, providing for boards in such
a manner that two of the three will be OF
one party. 1t permits the distribution of
''official ballots, "thus multiplying the secret
voting feature of the Australian system.
Without this, bribery will go unchecked.
The core of ballot reform is in the isola-
lion of the voter from all "woIkers or
bosses while preparing his ballot, and
the prevention Of the possibility of identi-
flying the ballot of voter by secret marks.
ETC., as may be done in "official ballots !"
publicly distributed. The people of New
Jersey are in no humor for halfway mea-
sures. They want law that will effectu-
ally do away with intimidation, fraud and
vote buying. 1t does not look, however,
as though they would get this law from
The present legislature.

John r. Lynch, the able negro Repub-
lcan leader OF Mississippi, explained to
the House Committee on Elections, on
Wednesday, how the Democrats always
manage to win in that State. Although
there Is an undoubted Republican major
ity 10 the State, the Democrats always
carry the elections. The method now gem
orally adopted was simply to change the
ballots. The process was simple and very
easy. Some time during the afternoon of
election day, he said, the election officers
would conclude TO take a recess for din.
ner, or for some other purpose. The ofli-
GERS then separated, he SAID, the Demo-
Gratis taking the ballot-box aud the Repub
licans the key to the same. Then the
Democrats would change several hundred
votes, and when the voting finally closed
for the day and the votes were counted,
ii would be found that The Democrats had
a majority. The country demanded, he
insisted, some relief from this state OF
affairs, and, although a Federal election
law would not be papacea for all the ills
that exist. with honest judicial officers it
would help a great deal. II will be OBJ
served that the Hudson county plan Is a
close pattern after the Mississippi plan.

The vote in Congress, on Monday,
resulted in the choice of Chicago as the
place for holding the Worlds Fair. Among
men whose preindices do not run away
with their judgment, but two cities are
considered to be proper locations for a
successful fair-New York and Philadel-
phia. Philadelphia did not want it, and
New York ought 10 have had it. 1t is
seaport, and the metropolis of the nation.
Within radius of twohundsed miles from
1t there Is population three or four times
as great as that around Chicago, and the
facilities for carrying passengers TO and
from the fair grounds arc greatly superior
to that of the windy city of the West.
Chicago is great place for big fires, high
winds, communistc riots, POLITICAL MUIR
ders and brag. Before ii gets through
with a worlds fair it will discover that 1t
Is the biggest thing II has ever undertaken,
and 1t may wish it hadn't. But New York
deserves but little sympathy for its failure.
II dilly-dallied about raisiDg guarantee
fund and about selecting a site, and then
the State legislature injected politics into
the scheme aud practically killed the un-
dertaking, so far as New York was con
cerned, before 1t reached Congress. Even
In Congress, the proper place for flnan-
osaiiy successful fair was not go much cen
sidcred as the effects of the location on
the politics of the country. In New York,
1t was supposed, Tammauy Hall would
control the disbursements and help the
Democratic party. In Chicago, the Re-
publicans would stand better chance.
Such narrow party feeling 10 the presence
of great noa-partizan undertakings dis
crcdtable and disgraeeful.
