fatal Flaws Found Sufficient 70 Demand
His Release,
WASHINGTON, October 1s.-It has
been understood all along that the fate
of ex-Consul Waller. who is still held
in imprisonment by the French at
Marseilles, hinged on the proceedings
of the court martial which sentenced
him, and therefore the state depart
ment has directed its efforts mainly to
securing a copy of the record of the
court. It has been ascertained that
the court was composed of five officers,
whereas the French military regula-
tons require at least six persons to sit
in the court. But more impor-
tant than this, it has been dis
covered that Waller was not really
tried as charged, bat that as the trial
progressed evidence was taken on an
other charge not included in the orig
inal matter, and that it was upon what
might be called supplementary,
but irregular, charge that Waller was
convicted

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.

Dies MONIES. October l4.-Three
hundred and thirty-four United States
patents were issued for the week end
ing October 8, of which number nine
were for Iowa inventors. Five
thousand nine hundred and forty-five
applications are awaiting action. The
United States circuit court, eastern
district of Michigan, has declared the
trademark Syrup of Figs" descrip-
tive and therefore invalid and
deceptive. because its active ingredient
is SIENNA, and not the juice of figs. A
court of appeals for the District of
Columbia has been established and
has jurisdiction as follows: That the
determination of appeals from the
decision of the commissioner of patents,
now vested in the general term OF the
supreme court of the District of
Columbia, in pursuance of the provision
of section seven hundred and eighty OF
the revised statutes of the United
States, relating to the District of
Columbia, shall hereafter be and the
same is hereby vested in the court of
appeals created by this act; and in
addition, any party aggrieved by the
decision of the commissioner of patents
in any interference case may appeal
therefrom to said court of appeals" A
patent has been allowed to j. w.
Walter, of Valeria, Iowa, for an
improved means of connecting a neck
yoke with horse collars and to prevent
the accidents incident TO extraneous
objects coming in contact with the
ends of the neck yoke. j. G. Coleman,
of Lenox. Iowa, has been allowed a
patent for combined damper and
ventilator in stove pipes. When the
damper is opened the veptilator is
automatically closed, and when it is
closed the ventilator is opened TO aid
in checking the fire and to vcntilate
the room and also reduce the temper
ature therein. 1t has been in practical
use as an efficient fuel saver and
great convenience for managing fire.
Valuable information about obtaining,
valuing and selling patents sent free
to any address. Printed copies of the
drawings and specifications of any
United States patent sent upon receipt
of 20 cents.

A Scarboro (Me.) man has COW
which recently brought an offspring
into the world. The calf is said to be
all right except as to the tail, and the
tail is all right. only it is misplaced,
being on the wrong end Of the beast. 1t
is said to grow from between the eyes.
In fact, the animal looks more like a

that the calf was likely to starye to
death from it's inability to suck and
wag it's tail at the same time, so it was
brought up by hand.
