Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

The idea of being able to invent something
strikes most people as being very difficult
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel. 1t
is the simple things and small inventions that
make the greatest amount of money and the
complex ones are seldom profitable Almost
everybody, at some time or another, conceiveS
an idea, which, if patented, would probably be
worth to him fortune. Unfortunately such
ideas are usually dismissed without thought.
The simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and down with
out breaking the passengers back, the sauce
pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle
stopper, the snow shovel, are things that al
most everyone sees some way of improving
upon, and 1t is these kind of inventions that
bring the greatest returns to the author.
The prize we offer will be paid at the end of
each month, whether the application has been
acted upon by the Patent ONCE or not. Every
competitor must apply for patent on his in
vention through us, and whether he secures
the prize or not, the inventor will have valu-
able patent.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 20.-The

dedication Of the battlefield of Chicka.
mauga as a park opened with a grand
civic and military parade. 1t brought
more people to the city proper than have
been here at any time since the dedica

so throngcd that it was next to impossi
bile to get about. In carriages were Vice
President Stevenson and party, Lieut..
General Scho field, Secretary OF the In

son, Secretary of the Navy Herbert, At

senators, congressman and governors
and their stalls. The formal exercises

SOME SUSPICION
That the Death of Postmaster Suth.
erland Of WOOdville Was Not
From Natural Causes.
DEAD IN HIS CHAIR
Several Recent Attempts Had Been
Made to Hold Him Up
Meager News.



BUTTE, Sept. 2l.---Postmaster William
Sutherland of Woodville, was found dead
in his store at 5 o'clock last evening, and
the circumstances of his death are sus-
picious enough to warrant the holding Of
an inquest, and the coroner of Jefferson
county. who resides at Boulder, has been
notified, and will hold one. Sutherland
has for number of years conducted a
saloon, and general store at Woodvile,
besides being the postmaster at that
section. The only information that could
be learned in Butte today, was that OBJ
tanned from the messenger, who brought
the news of his death to the city. He
said that Sutherland was in his saloon
apparently asleep, when an old man
named McLaggan entered, and going
over to the chair in which Sutherland
was sitting, he shook him by the arm.
"Lpt me rest, | am drunk" said Suther-
land. McLaggan went outside and met
Il man named Henderson, to whom he
told of the postmaster's condition. When
they returned to the saloon Sutherland
was dead Mr.. Sutherland was we'll
known IN Butte and it is known that he
was not "a drinking man. Mr.. G. S, Pass
mere, with whom deceased had an Office
at one time, got Il Butte justice of the
peace to go out and make an invest
igation. lIo says several recent attempts
have been made to hold up the post
master. which, taken with the fact that
the news of the death was SO long in
reaching Butte, gives an air Of suspicion
to the circumstances.

Liar and Threatened to
Strike Him.



BUTTE, Mont, Sept 20.--Constable

Jail by the correspondent of IHh IRIH.
uNE. But little information could be
gained from him about the affair. lie
says he has no idea how badly Huneault
was hurt and did not stop to ascertain
whether he had killed him or not. The
shooting occurred at the boarding house
of the Twin Pine just before the stage
left for Melrose. Jones said he quit
Yesterday and intended coming to Butte.
lie went up to the boarding house to
pack up his things, and while there
he held conversation with another
miner. in which he said that he
did not think the mine BOttcge was
working was any good. HuncauIt, he
says, overheard the conversations, and
when Jones went outside the former
walked up to him and asked him what
he meant by running down the mine.
Jones says he told lIuncault that he did
not make any disparaging remarks
about the property and liuneault called
him a liar and was, he thought, on the
point Of making a personal attack on
him, when he drew his revolver and
fired He could not say Just whore he
hit him, but thought it was somewhere
about the head. lIuncaut fell to the
ground anu Jones started 10 Walk 10

Four Hundred and -Four to One Hundred

From the time the polls opened for tie
special school tax election Saturday un
til about 3 y. IN. it seemed that the spe-
cial tax of not exceeding . mills would
be defeated. Those who were active op-
ponents of the special tax at the previous
election, who had no confidence in the
trustees, or decided to vent their spite,
or had failed to secure contract, were
making Il persistent iight against the
tax. but their strength was exhausted
early in tho day and III the afternoon the
friends of the schools came from the
offices and the shops and when the pola
closed 80 votes were caet, A large mum
ber were cast by women.
The count was completed early and
showed that l0l votes wero in favor Of
the tax ano only llO against.
The county aseegsor will now certify
the assessment of the district to the
school board, which will sit as board of
equalization and may reduce the aasess-
ment as they see fit, after which the
county commissioners will make the
mills levy.

The mail and baggage cars also left the
track. Engineer Blaine ran south ahead
of the train, going to Waupaca on foot.

back to the express car and demanded
of Messenger Robinson that he open the
car door, making threats that they
would use dynamite unless it was done.
When Robinson opened the door he be-
gan shooting in the direction of the rob-
bers and emptied his revolver. Twenty
charges were exploded under the safe
