PATENTS.
Notice to Investors

There was never n time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now The conveniences of mankind in
the factory and workshop, the house
hold. on the farm, and in official life,
require continual accessioDs to the ap-
purtenances and implements of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
tion of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not per-
nit the affairs of government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful after
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in innum-
cradle instances by the employment of
incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who
adopt the mo patent no pay system.
Inventors who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at immi
nent risk, as the breadth and strength
of the patent is never considered in
view of the quick endeavor to get an al
lowance and obtain the fee then due.
The Press Claims Company, John We'd
derburn, General Manager, GlS + street,

ing large number of important daily
and weekly papers, as well as general
periodicals of the country, was inSti-
tuted to protect its patrons from the un-
safe methods heretofore employed in
this line of business. The said company
is prepared to take charge of all patent
business entrusted to it for reasonable
fees, and prepares and prosecutes appli-
cations generally, including mechanical
inventions, design patents, trade marks,
labels, copyrights, interferences, in
Engagements, validity reports, and gives
especial attention to rejected cases. 1t

tion with any firm in securing foreign

The Salida Convention.

Governor Waite's much-advertised

held at Salida on Wednesday, turned

eighteen delegates present. Over hall

have ignored the governors call.

Under one of the laws passed by the
last legislature the various counties
in the state must advertise for bids for

Of the wheat produced in Kansas last year it is probable that 60.00O, ,OOo bush els will be marketed, of which 25 per cent. or 1000. 900 bushels. will be ground into flour by Kansas mills. Taking the large and small mills together, they will on the average make a barrel of four out of q bushels of wheat, so that out of the l5,000 900 bushels of wheat ground ,333, 333 barrels of four will be produced The average price of four in Kansas at the mills is four dollars per barrel, or nearly $i4,000,0O0 About seventeen pounds of feed and offal are produced from every bushel of wheat ground into hour which has market value of per cent per pound at the mills On l5,000,- 0O0 bushels of wheat this would be worth $l,21j, 900, which brings total yalue of a years milling output to over Slj,O00,- 900.

plamona. for nlae sIght..

A report Is running the rounds of Paris that the diamond is to appear in new hght-namely, as sight on gun barrel.
 The smoldering ennity between France and Germany has been the cause uf a great many remarkable improvements in materials of warfare, and the proposed new use of the diamond will count one more on the French score.
 It remains to be proved that the idea is practical. One can see that the bril- liancy of the gem would be an instanta- neous guide to the eye and would show up in half light. Whether the stone would hold its position in the rough and tumble of soldier life is a question that is likely to tip the scale the wrong way. Cor Jewellers Review.
