E. G. Butts, probate judge of this
county, and one of StilIwater's oldest
and most prominent citizens, died at
his home in this city on Saturday
morning. Mr.. Butts was for twenty
years preceding 1887 one of the three
members forming the then board of
prison inspectors in this state. He
will be affectionately remembered by
many of the old timers here as we'll as

Onment. We extend our heartfelt
sympathy to the widow and family in
their sad bereavement.

A contract has been made with the
Warren Webster Co., of Chicago, to
put in their patent steam heating ap-
pliance in all the buildings of the in
stitution. This new apparatus is an
auxiliary appliance to the ordinary
steam heating plant. 1t is claimed that
it will save steam thereby lessening the
amount of fuel necessary. According
to the terms of the contract made with
the Warren Webster Co., this appliance
is to save 25 per cent. of the cost of
running the steam plant, also one-half
the original cost of putting it in, this
winter. A vacuum pump with auto
matte valves to withdraw the exhaust
steam and air to a retort and from
thence to the boiler again is the main
principle of the new apparatus. The
complete cost will be $1635 and I'M
less the functions claimed for the new
appliance work satisfactorily the COM
pany has contracted not to collect a
cent of this amount. The apparatus
will also do away with the noise in the
steam pipes that for years has been a
source of vexation in the winter.
Work has already begun and will be
completed October Is.

The suffering has already started in
the Klondike region. The company
stores at Dawson City have closed
their doors and placarded them with
notice to the effect that mo more
provisions would be sold until the
next boat arrived" This will be pleas
ant information for those who may
have thousands of dollars in gold dust
and yet are unable to purchase food,
simply because there is none within
thousands of miles for sale. It is to be
hoped that this report is exaggerated,
for, if literally true, the Klondike re-
gion must of necessity be strewn with
the skeletons of many hardy miners
ere provisions can reach the district.
Thousands went into the diggings feel
ing confident that money could be re-
lied upon at all times to procure pro-
visions. 1t now turns out that with
the mad rush of passengers it was i'm
possible to carry sufficient provisions
to supply the populace during the al
most interminable northern winter.
