FINANCIAL MIDDLE.

IL in the multitude of counselors
there is safety, sometimes also
there is confusion. This seems
to be the case now with regard to
the question of revenue in this re-
public. The Legislature seems to
be paralyzed so that it can do
nothing definite, by the variety of
clashing opinions developed in
the contact of mind with mind in
groplng about for solution.
Outside of the Legislature there
IS host OF financial doctors, some
of them who could teach the me-
dicine men on the inside, but
many who only make confusion
worse COMPOUNDED by thrusting
all sorts of empirical notions UP.
on the public and, worse than
that upon the already bewilderei
minds of the Lawmakers. If it
were not generally conceded that
there are at least two vitality i'm
portant matters calling for i'm
mediate attention, in affairs of
the treasury, it might be wise to
suggest that the whole question
should so over to the next Legis-
lature. Not to come up at ran
dom, then, however, but in the re-
port of special commission ap-
pointed now, representing the Ex-
ecutive, the Legislature, the bust
ness community and the industri-
al classes. In the meantime let
the Minister of Finance submit
such temporary measure or mea-
sures as in his acknowledged
financial wisdom he deems best,
for the mitigation of existing evils
IN the interim, which the Legisla-
ture should pass with as little
mutilation or addition OF compli-
eating details as possible.
There is so much uncertainty,
however, as to the outcome OF
commission that it would be too
rash to give the foregoing idea the
force even of a suggestion. The
costly farce of the Labor
Commission is fresh in mind,
while the not slight expense of
the Penal Code Commission has
Just been thrown into the fire.
What we do advise, therefore, is
that the Legislature should rise to
the occasion and at least attempt
the most important work demand
ing its attention. Let it show
that it represents the whole peo-
pie, and can without fear or favor
discharge its whole duty toward
them. Increase of the revenue
without imposing fresh burdens
upon those i'll able to bear them.
Equalization of direct taxes so
that the rich shall not evade their
share of the commemorative bur-
den. These are the two objects
of imminently necessary legisla-
ton which are acknowledged
on all hands to be paramount.
Spasmodic efforts have been made
in the Legislature toward both,
but for the most part the mea-
sures have been introduced only
to be picked to pieces, unceremo-
niously thrown out, or thoir de-
fects aggravated in the handling.
Why not refer the whole question
to joint committee that, in con-
junction with the Minister
of Finance, should without
delay frame two simple measures

THE WORLD HAS WAITED

HERE 1T IS!

A phenomenal stove that
burns common Coal Oil (kero-
Sene) with a blue flame with
out odor.
The wonderful NEW PRO-
CESS" BLUE FLAME COOK
ING STOVE, which three
years of careful testing has
proven to be wholly practi-
cable. Burns coal oil (kero-
sene) from a wick, which will
last a year, producing an in
tensely hot blue flame, like
coal gas-without odor-nev-
err smokes as the wick cannot
be turned too high. Absolute
ly non-explosive. All parts
durable and interchangeable.
Requires no more care than
the ordinary house lamp.
This is a Stove that admits of
drawing the fluid for light and
heat from the same barrel or
tin. 1t is the most economi-
cal stove in the world and you
cannot afford to be without
one.
The difficulty in the past
with all coal-oil stoves has been
that the means at hand were
entirely inadequate for the re-
suits desired. The flame being
in all cases a yellow or iIlumin-
ating flame, made it impossi-
bic to place the article or uten-
sill in direct contact with it.
AS a result the time occupied
in cooking or baking was so
long that it was diStreSSingly
irkSome and unsatisfactory.
Again with the old style il
Eliminating flame oil stove there
is always the liability of the
flame creeping up after the
burner islighted, sooting every
thing over it and sending forth
a volume of smoke and odor
into the room. A decidedly
diSagreeable occurrence, but
what everyone has experienced
who has operated the old
style stoves.
The wonderful "New Pro-
cess" Blue Flame Oil Cook
Stove, has a powerful blue
flame absolutely odorlesS. Any
utensil or flat iron may be
placed directly in the flame
without particle of SCOT being
deposited upon it. By the use
of the simplest device it is i'm
possible to turn the wick too
high, thus insuring a perfect
flame at all times when in oper-
alton. Possibly the most posi-
tive proof of the success of
this stove is the result obtained
in baking. The inside meas
urementS of the oven on the
New Process" Blue Flame
Oil Stove are 10 1-2 inches
wide, IL inches deep and -
l-2 inches high. With this
large oven it iSpoSsible to cook
as perfectly and quickly as in
any coal, gas, or gasoline range.
The use of coal oil (keroSene)
is so general that every house
hold is provided with it; hence
there is no annoyance in the
matter OF procuring fuel in any
locality.

Il. Kent, alias w. W. Pancoast, who
was to be hanged Thursday for the
murder of his wife, to life imprison-
ment, and he will pass the remainder
of his days in the penitentiary at Bis

Swidensky, the ignorant Bohemian.
who pleaded guilty to the actual MUIR
der and accused Kent of being the in
stigator of the crime. Kent was to
have been hanged Nov. IL, but a respite
was granted to Nov. -. In the mean.
time ali influence and power possible
was brought TO bear on the governor,
and at the 18th hour he committed the
sentence. This decision was reached
by Governor Allin, after two days of
exhaustive argument, in which Judge
w. b. Mcconnell, M. A. Hildreth, at
torney for Kent, and II. G.. Voss, attor-
ney for Morton county, where the
crime was committed, participated, ard
TO Mcconnell, who, as trial judge in
the case, appeared before the governor
and made a special plea for the con-
demned man, Kent owes the fact that
he will not die on the gallows.
Kents Case Reviewed.
Kent was charged with numbering
his wife March Is, 1894. The crime
was committed at Mandan, this state,
and II Thomas Swidensky swore he
was entrapped into the plot, and was
promised a large sum for doing the act.
ON the evening of March IL, 1894, Kent
left home, telling his wife he was 60
ing to Bismarck. He did not return
and on the night of the 18th Swiden-
sky, who was the hired man, aroused
Mrs. Kent IN the night and told her
that he saw burglars about the house.
She arose, and, when standing in her
own parlor, was shot and killed by
~Swidensky. After the crime the hired
man confessed and the story told by
him was that Kent offered him SIS, OOC
If he would commit the deed. During
the preliminary hearing of Swidensky
no one suspected Kent and he made
good his escape. Six months after the
crime he was captured at Arlington,
Colo, and brought back to Mandan.
He was tried before Judge Winchester,
Found Guilty by .he Jury
and sentenced to hang. The supreme
court granted a new trial on the ground
that the judge refused to grant q
change of venue. The case went tC
Cass county and again the jury found
the man guilty and Judge Mcconnell
sentenced him to hang on Nov. 10,
1896. e In October last a monster petit,
ton was sent i'll for communication and
since that time every effort has been
made in his behalf. Kent was born at
Lodi, Medina county, o. His father
died about a year ago and his mother is
still living. When seen last night
Kent did not express surprise, but sim.
ply said that truth and justice had pre-.
vailed. The gallows for the hanging
had been built and the execution has
been the talk of the state for months.
