smokeless Furnace.

A patent has been granted for furnace
doors Of such construction that the
smoke OF the furnace is disintegrated
and disseminated over the whole fire
surface, and those elements which are
OF value are consumed and utilized.
The advantages claimed for the inven-
ton, says the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, are: Superior efficiency by secur-
ing the abolition Of all coal smoke and
other noxious and poisonous products
caused through imperfect combinations;
great saving in fuel, as smaller and
cheaper coal NAV be used; the method
is cheap and can be easily applied; the
doors can be fitted to any type of fur
mace; the invention requires no altera-
tion of furnaces already in use beyond
the removal of the existing doors and
the substitution of the patent furnace
door, which change can be effected in
five minutes while the boiler is still at
work. 1t is understood that the inven-
ton has already been applied to mer-
camille, naval and marine boilers, as
we'll as to innumerable furnaces en-
ployed in various metal, pottery, brick
and other works.

FATE OF THE RENDERS.
The Old Man and Kate Were Shot by
Posse.

The Old Man and Kate We're Shot by
Posse.
Wichita, Kan.. Aug. 31.-Another
chapter is added to the gruesomo story
of the Bender family, whose home in
Montgomery county over 20 years ago
was the scene of upward of 80 murders,
according to the deathbed confession Of
Captain Carroll. The fate of the
Benders has heretofore been yelled in
mystery.
Captain Carroll confessed that band
of citizens, sworn to eternal secrecy,
followed the Benders after their fight
from the scene of their crimes and
killed Kate and the old man, but let
Mrs. Bender 60, with warning never
to return on pain of death.
He said that Kate and her mother
stood by and stoically watched the men
riddle the body of William Bender with
bullets, and then when Kate's turn
came she stepped out like tragedy
queen and said:
BLAZE away"
She was shot down like q dog, but
when it came to shooting the mother,
the hearts Of the posse failed them and
they allowed her to 60. The bodies
were carefully buried and the graves
concealed.

A Simple Fire Extinguisher.

One of the most useful things for the
extinction of incipient fires is the hand
grenade. This can be made at home
easily and cheaply. Twenty pounds Of
common salt and ten pounds of sal am
moniac (nitrate of ammonia, to be had
of any druggist) should be dissolved in
seven gallons of water. Quart bottles
of thin glass, such as ordinarily used
by druggists, should be filled with the
concoction, corked tightly and sealed to
prevent evaporation. In case of fire,
the bottle should be thrown SO as to
break in or near the flame. If the fire
is in such place as to prevent the bot
tie from breaking. as in wool or cotton,
the neck of the bottle should be knocked
off and the contents scattered. The
breaking of the bottle liberates certain
amount of gas, and the heat Of the fire
generates more, thus working its own
destination

A FREE EXPOSITION.
Manufacturers' Fair to Be Held In Port
land September 22 to October 2.

Manufacturers Fair to Be Held in Port
land September 22 to October 2.
The exposition to be held at Port
land this fall will be along new lines,
differing entirely from any fair ever
held in that city. This year the man
ufacturers of Oregon will show the
people what is made in the state. and
with that end in view the exhibits will
consist wholly of manufactured goods
made in Oregon. Another new feature
this year will be that no admission will
be charged. From all sides we hear
the report that the fair will be the most
interesting and instructive exhibition
ever held in the state. One wing OF the
large exposition building will be de-
voted exclusively to live exhibits, and
great many articles will be made right
there in the building.
The fair is bound to be grand sue
cess, as already the entire space OF the
two main floors is taken up by exhib-
itors, and we understand the manufac-
turers have the money on hand to pay
all expenses.
There Is no good reason why oregon
should not be more of manufacturing
state than she is, and if the people will
call for goods made at home, instead OF
using goods of Eastern manufacture,
home pay-rolls will increase in won
derful way, making work and happy
homes for all. We sincerely believe the
fair will do more to enthuse the people
than anything else that could be done
in creating demand for home prod
ucts, and showing the necessity of
patronizing home manufacturers. The
Manufacturers Association of the North
west, under whose auspices the fair
will be held. deserves great credit for
the work it is doing.
The fair will be open from Septem-
Der % to October 2, and all railroads
have made reduced rate of one and
one-fifth fare for the round trip.

OPINIONS OF EDITORS
ARE UNANIMOUS IN PROCLAIM
ING GOOD TIMES.

Mr.. Bryan's Own State Speaks Loudly
i'm Support of the Fulfillment Of the
Promise of Better Times With the
Election Of a Republican President.
e. PARSONS, Special Correspondent.
Washington, D. C.-That genuine
prosperity has struck Mr.. Bryan's own
state even without the free and unilm-
tied coinage of silver is quite apparent
from the following letters which have
been received from time to time during
the past month by the literary bureau
of the Republican national committee
from editors in Nebraska:
Wymore. Neb., Aug. 6, 1S97.-Busl-
ness is improving. The fruit and small
grain crop in Nebraska was good. The
state is we'll supplied with hogs, sheep
and cattle, and the greatest corn crop
in the history of the state is assured.
Prices are 80 per cent better than last
year at this time and are getting better
every day. Railroads and factories OF
all kinds are hiring new men every
week and prosperity is here to stay.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tiOnal remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for Cir
culars, free.

And consider that in addressing Mrs.
Pinkham you are confding your private
Ills to q woman-a woman whose ex-
perience in treating woman's diseases
is greater than that Of any living ply
stefan, male or female.
You can talk freely to woman when
It is revolving to relate your private
troubles to man; besides, man does
not understand, simply because he isa
man.
MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. ALI letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women Of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
Of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
In return except your good win, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman. rich or poor, isvery
foolish If she does not take advantage
ct this generous offer Of assistance.

Flour PAYS No Duty.

Washington, Sept. Consul Fow-
Ter, at Chez Foo, China, reports to the
state department that foreign flour pays
no import duty in that country. He
says that one-third of the -four import
ed goes to Canton. About $50, 900
pounds of flour from California is sold
in Chez Foo yearly. The Chinese in
that part of China consume corn food
mostly.
