A PERFECTED SCIENCE.
The Problem of Fuel Saving and
Heat Regulation Solved.

Modern scientific achievements pre-
sent many astonishing things. Promi-
nent and of vital Importance is that sys-
tenn of electrical and automatic ap-
pllances which SO successfully governs
the heat of buildings and effects a radi-
cal economy in fuel. The system was
perfected by one johnson. of Milwau-
kee, and is operated by I he Johnson
Electric Service Company. having
offices in Milwaukee ami the Twin
Cities. Many of the best buildings
throughout the country are equipped
with this service, and everywhere it
works perfectly.

KANSAS FARMERS.
They Propose a Sweeping Reduc
ton in Grain Rates.

CHICAGO. Dec. 22.-Some anxiety is
felt by the managers of the Western
roads on account of an alleged move
ment of the Kansas farmers to force a
sweeping reduction in grain rates from
points in that state. 1t is said that the
interstate commerce commission is to
be appealed to, ana that evidence is be-
ing accumulated by committee of
farmers to be used in complaints against
the Rock Island. the Atchison. and the
Missouri Pacific. Should these lines be
compelled to make reduction the effect
will be to pull down rates from Ne
b aska, Iowa and Missouri river points.
Railroad men believe that Kansas CITY
grain dealers are behind the movement.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, Dec. 22.-Many of
the counties Of the northwestern part
of the state have authorized extraor-
binary bounties on wolf, rabbit and
gopher scalps, in order that destitute
people may have means of making a
living this winter. In Decatur county
the treasurer paid out Sl.7OO in one day
and over $1,000 in six weeks. and the
drain became so heavy that the county
board suspended the order. The same
counties are getting ready to vote aid
bonds to buy seed corn, wheat and pota-
toes for Impoverished settlers.
