STORAGE BATTERIES.
rheir Sale Has Become y Regular business
In the East


For some time electricity has been
selling In cans like milk In the streets
or New York. There IL one company
which makes specially of furnishing
storage batteries to hotels, small fac
tories, mercantile houses and other es-
tnDiishments where little power Is
needed, and not enough to Justify the
investment of money In plant. To
these storage batteries are delivered
every morning. Some OF them are as
small as cigar box. others are as
Mrse ns the cylinder OF soda-water
fountain.
This method of securing power Is so
popular and economical that 1t will not

company at present has eighteen wag-

he rings the bell and leaves the box

some or the hotels the lighting appa-
ratus is supplied by this method, but
II Is not so economical as a connection
with the regular wires. Some dress
makers have small storage batteries
attached to their sewing machines, and

for storage batteries In their Offices par

treatment for rheumatism and other
diseases. The company 1 speak of has

doctors and dentists.
The dentists use the portable bat
terles with small motors to run ma
chimes for cleaning the teeth and for
drilling holes in the molars of their pa
tients. Surgeons often carry about in
their cases small lights charged from
portable batteries. These lights are
useful In examining the throa,s of
their patients. Orders for vest pocket
batteries are frequently received from
vaudeville performers and actors in
comic operas. who use them for spec
tacular effects. They make Christmas
trees sparkle and monographs talk,
and automatic pianos play. They illu-
inmate the tables Mt dinner parties and
receptions and add brilliancy to the
decorations of balls and weddings.
There We're ninety storage batteries
used at the wedding reception of Miss
Vanderbilt to the Duke of Marlbor-
ough. and at the French mask ball last
winter the pocket batteries We're so
common that they attracted little at

greatest markets for canned electricity
is In supplying launches on the rivers
and lakes surrounding New York.

emergency thnt may arise In the neas
future. 1t Is learned the governor has
been impressed with the gravity of the
situation and that he has instructed
the adjutant general to remain in his
office, awaiting any requisition that
may be made on him for troops.
The only surface occasion for this
precaution is the fact that tonight an
Immense procession of miners and citi-
Zens. headed by Burgess Leafs of T'ur-
tie Creek, marched through the streets
of the borough and back again to
Camp Determination, where n meet
ing was held and the Burgess assured
the men that they had his sympathy
as well as that of all the citizens there
abouts.
1t may be the sheriff, In view of the
fact that the big assembly Mt McCrea
school house to-day was In violation
of his proclamation, has reason to be-
lieve that the miners are beyond his
control and has warned the governor
of impending trouble.
Beyond the meeting and marching
tonight all it quiet In the neighbor-
hood of the camp.

FOUND THE AIR WAS TO THIN.
W. Il. Eclts Was Unable to Fly From
Pixies Peak without More Wings.

". Il. FcIts Was Unable to Fly From
Pixies Peak without More Wings.
Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 3
Willis b. Felts, who proposes to fly
from the summit OF Pixies peak. Is in
n very fair way to prove himself Sec
ond Darius Green. Felts went to the
summit of Pixies peak Sunday and
spent yesterday afternoon and this
morning in testing his flying appa-
ratus. He made several attempts to
float out upon the air, but each time
his theory was Jared by coming in
contact with the hard rock on the sum-
nit of the peak. He accounts for his
inability to fly through the fact of the
small resistance of the air at that al
titude. In the wings of his aeroplane
he has surface of 125 square feet of
canvas exposed to the air. He claims
that 1t will require 200 square feet of
canvas to support his weight in the
light atmosphere ut that altitude.
Felts descended about 1000 feet and
again tried his flying machine. The
resistance of the air was greater at
that point and more encouraging. He
descended still lower. and at point
1000 feet below the summit made an
other trial. The results of his efforts
at that place, he says, We're highly
gratifying to him. and he feels conf
dent of ultimate success.
Felts will make the preliminary trial
next Saturday afternoon in the neigh
borhood of Colorado Springs. and
proposes to fly from Pixies peak next
Sunday.

Kansas Swept by Hot Winds.

Topeka. Kan, Aug. 2-Specials to
the Capital tonight from every corn
producing county in the state show
that this years Kansas corn crop will

there will be no corn.
In the northern belt, north of the
Kansas river, though needing rain.

drouth and will make n full crop If

winds have blown there. The reports
show that to-day has been the coolest
for week and Sunday the hottest.
Yesterday the thermometer stood at
from Jos to Ill in the south central
part of the state and there is no crop
there.

Ward, Colo, Aug. 2.-H. G. Mellor.
manager of the Wnrd-Smuggler Gold
Mining Company, shot and instantly
killed his son, James Mellor, mt about
$50 o'clock this morning. The only
eye witness to the shooting was the
principal above named. After firing
the fatal shot the elder Mellor started
for Boulder to place himself In the
hands of tho authorities.
There are but two other men who
can throw any light on the tragedy.
The names of those are Job Hill and
Joseph J. Kerr. The latter is n Boul-
der man. who came up here from that
place on Saturday evening with young
Mellcr, who was returning from Il Wis.,
1t to his wife. Mr.. Kerr was assisting
young Mellor to prepare breakfast at
the latter's residence in Quigleyville,
n small camp one and one-half miles
north of Ward. While Kerr was busy
baking cakes young Mcllor said he
would go over to his fathers house, Il
few hundred yards away, to see II he
could get 50 of the amount his father
was owing him for labor.
As Mellor opened the door to depart
on this errand he exclaimed: '.There's
the old man, now" pointing to his
father in the road n few hundred yards
below. Mellor stepped out the door
whistling Il tune.
About two minutes later Kerr heard
shot and groan. and on opening the
door. which had closed on Mellor's de-
parture. he met the young Mellor as
cending the steps leading up to the
door. with his hand pressed against his
heart.
Young Mellor said: MY father shot
me; I'm killed! I'm killed. and fell to
the floor with his feet just inside the
doorway. No other explanation came
from the young man, and moment
later he was dead.

At that price 1t is hey cheaper than copper

A Similarity of Names Causes

A ssmeness Of names has brought
 sadness 10 the heart of one Prescott
 young man. The Courier ssys it happened in this way: Walter C..
 Reese, of Prescott. formerly lived in Dallas, Texas, where he met and ad-
 mired o beautiful southern girl, with whom he has since kept up . corre- spondeLce, until some weeks ego, when the welcome letters from Dsllas did not arrive, and W. G. Reese has just learned why. A Ysvspai rail road man, whose nsme is also w. G. Reese, and who also lived in Dallss, Texas, at one time, went to Phoenix and got married come wseks ago, ant his marriage was published in the Dallas, Texas, papers, after which
 Walter got no letters from his loved one. Aud that is not all. With true southern impetuesi.y she married sn- other fellow before she found out that the W. 6. Reese who married was not her Walter G. Reese, of Prescott. Now here is a lovely tangle that would ruzzle King Solomon himself. ,"
