AWONDERFUL COOKER
A Money, Time and Trouble Saver
For the Kitchen.

The Tightening Fuel Saver is the
name of a wonderful appliance made at
the Topeka Foundry and now on ex-
hibition for the next few weeks at the
Oxford hotel, 52S Kansas avenue. The
patentees and inventors who are with
the display are Messrs. A. a. Brewer
and w. D. Peyton, well known KansanS
who reside at Emporia. The invention
is a special stove lid with a tank at
tached thereto by a pipe with a burner
fastened to the under side of the lid.
The can or tank is filled with an oil
that is something like crude petroleum
and is produced in Kansas and sold in
Topeka for six cents a gallon. At
tached to the pipe is valve which,
when turned on, allows the oil to flow;
touch a match to the burner ana the
deed is done. You have a red hot fire
before you can lace up your shoes in
the morning. The wonderful part of
the device is the simplicity and econ
omy 1t can be operated all day with
heat enough to cook, for the small
amount of one cent an hour. Another
feature of the invention is, it is abso-
lutely nOn-explosive. Experiments Of
every description have been made to
explode the apparatus. 1t can not be
done. There are no ashes, of course.
The appliance can be put on any
stove without any trouble. The one at
the oxford is attached to a fine River
side Range sold by D. H. Forbes.
Brewer and Peyton are here to sell the
appliances and county and state rights

SCURVY AND FROST BITES
Cause Great Suffering Along the Ed
monitor Trail

Seattle, Wash, April 13.-Prospectors
who arrived today from Alaska bring
news that there are at least 400 pros
pectOrs on the Edmonton trail between
Desc lake and Hudson'S Bay post on the
Lizard river, most OF whom are in des-
titute circumstances. These men have
been working along the trail for over a
year, finding little gold, and their money
having become exhausted they are
without the means of obtaining supplies.
Many of the men are said to be suffer-
ing from scurvy and frost bites. The
sick can not receive proper medical at
tendance and many are dying
j. H McGregor brought with him an
appeal to the authorities of British Col
umbia. asking that help be sent to re-
heve the sufferers. There are about a
dozen cases of scurvy in the hospital
at Glenora and several dozen on the
trail between AtIin and Glenora.

consequences that might follow her an
Swer.
Not only did he decide with the de-
fendant in the issue, but he warned the
state that to refer to her silence or re-
fusal to give testimony in the argument
would create fatal error in the case.
She must not be adversely criticised for
such conduct. The prosecution had evil

silence and plainly showed a lameness
after the decision came. The fair
prisoner, who had during the entire
argument leaned forward on the table,
chin in hand, and followed the thread
of the arguments, leaned back and
smiled sardOnically, it seemed, at the
discounted attorneys.
If the state has further evidence as
to her Wherea bouts after she left the
car near the Althouse home, it has
given no sign. Yet the production of
Judge Mccarthy with his highly i'm
portant bit of evidence was a warning
that a surprise might be looked for at
any moment from that direction. One
noticeable thing was in comment today
the complexion of the audience that
completely crowds the little court room
1t was made up almost exclusively of
women, the men seemingly having
given up hope of even entering the de-
sired harbor. At least a half dozen
young women with tendencies toward
the artistic were on hand with their
sketch books. Mrs. George was drawn
from almost every radiation point of a
circle of which she was the center. She
did not mind it in the least, and after
court adjourned. leisurely examined the
work of one girl, who seemed to be de
lighted at the attention paid her Twice
during the day the prisoner was made
the center of a throng of women who
crowded about her as she was being
led to the Jail. 1t is not unjust to the
other women to say that Mrs. George
was the best dressed and most striking
of her sex present. She wears a Dattv
blue silk waist, shirred and ruff1ed in
truly artistic manner and fitting her
perfectly. A neat walking hat with
birds wings was in keeping with her
general costume.

EASY FOR CHICAGO.
Kansas City Blues Fall by the Way
side in a Slugging Match.

Kansas City. April 13.-Chicago won the
third game by a score of II to 13- 1t was
a slugging match, the Orphans piling up
a total of thirteen singles. five doubles,
triples and a home run. Meredith
pitched the first four innings and was
touched up for nine hits. and Friend, who
pitched out the game, was SluGEed for
twelve. The fourth and sixth innings
were the features of the smuggling. the Chi
cagos being able to bunch their hits while
the Blues hits were scattered all through
the game.
1t was demonstrated yesterday that the
new rule governing pitchers is a run get
ter, as the players on both teams stole
bases with impunity. and when the sea-
son has fairly begun and the players are
in good shape the record of stolen bases
will doubtless be very large
The feature of the game the slug
ging of Ryan and Lange, the former hay
ing four singles and double to his credit
and the latter a single, two doubles and a
triple.

DON'T EXPECT TO WIN.
Filipinos Are Just Fighting on Cen
eral Principles.

Hong Kong. April 13.-The Filipino
junta here regards the proclamation of
the United States Philippine commission
as being Objectionable and has issued a
grandiloquent statement to the effect
that it is "a tissue of generalities, bris-
ties with pharisaism and cant. vaguely
promises much and grants nothing to
the F'ilipinos, who are tired of promises
and surfeited by Spanish promises SIM
liar to the American
Continuing the statement reads:
1.-The proclamation proves that the
fair promises of independence under
protectorate and President McKinley's
declaration of the objects of Spanish
war were only a mask of humanitarian
ism to cover the real intention. The in
Vitation of the United states Philippine
commissioners to the FilipinOs to meet
them for an exchange of views is mean
ingless, as, during the hostilities, the
representative FilipinOs are necessarily
absent from Manila, assisting the Strug-
gle for independence.
THE F'ilipinOS continue to resist a
violent and aggressive uSurpation not
because they expect a complete victory
but to emphasize their rights and to
protest against ruthless invasion.
I'VE emphatically deny that the aims
of the American government have been
msinterpretated. The proclamation of
General Otis showed those aims clearly.
We also deny the legality of the sale
of the sovereignty over the Philippines
by Spain. and we reiterate positively
that the Americans began the hOstilities

BALLARD AT EUREKA.
He Visited the Scene of His Alleged
Murder of Joseph New Yesterday.

Eureka, Kan, April 13.-Alvin Bal
lard. the Kansas penitentiary convict,
made a partly successful attempt to
prove his alleged knowledge of the New
murder yesterday. He left Eureka
early in the morning, in company with
Sheriff Simmons of Wichita, and under
the guidance of W. p. Fleeman, drove
to the New neighborhood. When within
a few miles of the New house he was
given the reins and ordered to drive to
the scene of the murder. Arriving at
the house, he located the positions
claimed to have been occupied by All
good, Turner and himself on the night
of the murder. He pointed out where
they had hitched their team, the route
taken by them in coming and going
from the house, partly corrObOrating his
confession as to details before and after
the crime. He named the homes of sew
eral parties in the neiShbOrhOod, told
where his party had camped, and re-
lated minor circumstances. However,
he showed no desire to attempt to lden-
tify persons whom he claims to have
met and cOnVerSed with, and left as
the only proof of his story partly YER
flied relation of such incidents in regard
to the murder IS have been supposed to
be the work of Dobbs.
He refused to undergo close question
ing by neighbors in regard to particu-
lars, and was several times caught in
an effort to hedge on his statements.
The trip was made unaccOmpanied
by any county official and was under
the sole leadership of F'leeman, who die
tated everything. Sheriff Simmons being
present merely to guard his prisoner.
People in the New neighborhOOd deny
any recollection of Ballard or Allgood,
though Ballard asserts they camped in
the Vicinity for more than a week.
Billiards. trip has not changed the
opinion of the people here as to the guilt
of Dobbs and Mrs. New. He claims
robbery as the motive, and it is positive
ly known that New possessed but little
money when murdered, and all was
found later.
No attempt has been made to eXhume
News body for investigation as to the
shot in the body. County Attorney
johnson says the state never claimed
that New was killed from wounds made
by a charge of lead slugs only. Asked
if he was invited to accompany Ballard
on his trip, he said he was not Mr..
Johnson says he will give Billiards. con-
fession due consideration, and if he finds
evidence sufficiently strong to warrant
arrests being made, he will act. 1t is
not believed that evidence furnished by
Ballard so far is sufficient to justify ar
rests being made.

A big block of Red Wing stock
amounting in ali to 10000 shares,
changed hands yesterday and when a
first payment something like $4,000 was
paid into the banking house OF McCor-
nick & Co. by Professor ". H Tibbals,
the stock, which had previously been
placed there in escrow was released ana
turned over to him.
The vendors in the transaction are
J. j. Corum, who parted with 1880
shares, Z. McCarrick with $4,000 shares
and A j. Orem & Son with 1850
shares.
Professor Tibbals has held the option
on the stock for some time past, and
with this block added. he is associated
with Gill S. Peyton in the control of
over 100000 shares, or more than three
fcurths of the entire capitalization.
1t is understood that Messrs. Tibbals
and Peyton have an option on a large
portion of the remaining stock out

twenty days Will find themselves the
owners of practically all the stock in
