BURNS ARMIES OR WARsH1ps.
Prof. Tantrove, seattle Man, Wants
Government to Use His Idea
in China

j. c. Sharp, a Salt Lake City bust
ness man, is financial hacker of an
invention which it is claimed will
burn up armies or melt warships at
nine miles by means of concentrated
heat of the suns rays. Prof julius
Tantrove, of Seattle, is the inventor
of this device, which will be offered
to the war department for use in
China.
This seems unreasonable at first"
said Mr.. Sharp, 'but when you con-
slider that small hand sun glass will
concentrate enough heat to set fire
to paper or cloth the possibility of an
immense device can be more easily
realized. The plan is to use not an
ordinary lens. but plate glass ar
ranged in such a way that it con-
centrates an immense number of rays
and throws them a great distance.
The method of arrangement consti-
tutes the secret of the discovery. For
commercial use heat can be concern
trated and stored. In experiments in
Seattle Prof. Tantrove was able with
pieces of glass ten inches square to
BOIL wafer in four minutes in tea
kettle set on cake of ice 80 feet dis
tant. AT the same time board was
ignited almost instantly. By increas-
ing the size of the plates there is no
limit to the possibilities"

cinity of Roland and Radcliffe. The
man, well-dressed and sleek-loodng
fellow, claimed to be the agent Ut an
imaginary farmers supply house OF
Chicago of enormous proportions In
fact, one SO large, so the agent said,
that they owned all of the cars that
We're painted yellow running on the
northwestern road. The house handled
everything from nursing bottle to q
threshing machine. and sold goods at
from 20 to rs per cent. of what is or
dlnarllN paid for them. Queer as it may
seem, he had no contracts to beguile
the unsuspecting farmer into signing,
but merely took their orders and asked
certain per cent. as payment in ad-
vance. This amount he gave them a
receipt for. He commenced operating
near Radcliffe. All went well until one
day, when he was Just closing an order
with Rasmus Rasmussen, a farmer,
when one of the former customers from
near Radcliffe drove into the yard with
blood in his eye and the information
at hand that no such house existed in
Chicago. He demanded refund OF his
eight-dollar advance payment. The
agent lost no time in forking over ten
dollars. Since that time he has not
been heard of. 1t is hard to tell just
how much he was successful in quilting
his victims out of before he was ex-
posed, as none of them seem to care to
admit buying of him. However, 1t is
safe to say that it amounts to several
hundred dollars.

INDIANS WILL BE ENROLLED.
Nation to he Made by the
Commission.

The United States commission to
the Five Civilized Tribes has arrived
at Sallisaw /. T., and will begin
making roll of freedmen citizens
of the Cherokee nation. AT Bunch,
/. t., where the commission was
at work last, the full-blood Cherokee
Indians showed a disposition not to
be enrolled, and as a consequence not
many names were registered at that
place from the ranks of the full
bloods.
1t has been easy to determine who
were the blood citizens and intermar-
ried and adopted citizens, because
their names were either upon the duly
authenticated rolls of 1850 or they had
certificates duly attested showing
their admission, but with the freed
men citizens the matter is entirely diff
ferent.
All freedmen who returned to and
resided in the Cherokee nation within
six months after the ratification of the
treaty of 1866 We're allowed to share
equally with the Cherokees in the
final distribution of the lands and
moneys of the tribe. Several rolls Of
freedmen have been made, but none
has been satisfactory.
The last roll, known as the Clifton
roll, contains the names of about 1900
negroes and not more than 1000 are
entitled to enrolment. The work of
making the freedmen roll at Sallisaw
will be watched with great interest by
the Cherokees. The burden OF proof is
on the freedman to prove that he had
returned to the Cherokee nation with
in the required time in 1866. A wit
ness to be competent to testify in
these cases will have to be well up in
age.
This work will require the attend
ance of nearly all of the oldest citizens
in the nation at the various sittings
of the commission.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Says Express Companies
Cannot Transport Liquor G. on
and Imposes a Fine.

For some weeks agents of the Iowa
Anti-Saloon league have been quietly
securing evidence against violators
of the liquor laws, and as a result of
their work have commenced suits
against number of druggists. restau-
rant keepers and others in Newton and,
adjacent towns. Among the suits COM
menced was one against the Adams Ex-
press company, charging it with violat-
ing the prohibitory law by bringing
liquor into the state c. o. D. The league
made the claim that sale Of liquor
made on an order from Iowa, filled by
nonresident dealer and completed by
delivering to the Iowa customer a. q
point in this state C. o. D. is sale with
in this state and falls under our crina-
inal laws. The company contended that
such transaction is a foreign sale, and
not within the jurisdiction of the Iowa
law, and fully protected by the inter-
state commerce clause of the constitu-
ton. The case against the expressicom-
pany was tried before Judge Clements,
and he found the company guilty and
imposed fine of $500.
