RESULT OF TEST.
WHAT THE VALUE OF THE WASH
BURN COAL is AS A STEAM PRO-

WHAT The VALUE OF THE WASH
BURN COAL is AS A STEAM PRO-
DUCER.
Fargo Forum: The test of the
Washburn Ignite coal which began at
the Fargo Edison Co.'S power house
Sunday night at o'clock, proved more
satisfactory than was anticipated for
the first twenty-four hours. Talk
ing about their observation of the
working of the coal, this morning, both
Mr.. Hughes OF the Edison company
and Mr.. Walker of the Washburn road
were of the opinion that. for the var
lous reasons the test for the first
twenty-four hours was not one upon
which to make final computations as
guide as to the steam making uuali-
ties of the coal. From : p. M. Sunday
to p. m. Monday, exactly ten tons
OF the coal were used under the boilers.
The figures last night showed a value
for the coal Of G3 per cent compared
with the bituminous coal commonly
used for steam making purposes. On
the basis that bituminous coal costs
$3.50 ton, the per cent value of the
Washburn Ignite being G; it makes it
worth in money fraction more than
S'. 4i per ton and as it can be laid
down in Fargo for s., G:5 ton there is
visible saving in favor of the Ignite
or 81 cents per ton, or a saving OF SS
daily. A computation made this morn
ing, after a hard nights work shows
the per cent value of the Ignite to be
G7 and it is believed that is not the
maximum.
When the ash pits were cleaned out
last night the fircmcn found no evil
dence OF clinkcrs whatever and the
quantity OF ashes was not any more
than is usually taken out after the us,
Of bituminous coal.
General Manager Washburn, of the
Washburn road, has been advised of
the results OF the tests, so far, and is
feeling very much elated. He wired
MS congratulations to Mr.. Hughes this
morning and also said that forty tons
day were being taken out of the
mines now, by hand. Mr.. Walker
says that if the demand requires it the
output can be increased to 800 tons a.
day by the aid Of electric machinery
Samples of the coal are to be placed in
several private residences in Fargo, in
order that tests may be made as to it's
value in cooking stoves and ranges.
as it is believed a great saving can be
made over the eastern coal usually
used

MILLER'S VIEWS.

EX-GOVERNOR MILLER INCLINED
TO AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER
THOMAS IN HIS VIEW OF THE
YIELD.
Grand Forks, Aug. 27.-Hon. John
Miller, North Dakota's first governor,
spent yesterday in the city on business.
Gov. Miller has for number of years
been engaged in the grain business in
Duluth, and makes frequent visits to
the wheat growing section OF the states
during the growing and marketing
seasons.
Asked for an estimate as to the prob
able crop yield of the states, he said
that so many estimates had been made,
and these were so divergent in their
character, that he did not care to stake
his reputation on any guess which he
might make, but he believed that if
North Dakota raised 2O,OOO,OOO bushels
Of wheat this year this would be the
outside figure.
The rainy weather of the past week
or two has Of course had bad effect
on the grain, and until grain began to
move more freely it is difficult to tell
what this damage will be. He be-
lieved that with the most favorable
conditions from now on the entire crop
is damaged at least one grade. In a
few localities grain will be unfit to
thresh. In other cases sprouted ker-
nels will be blown out, and in almost
all cases there is dlscoloration.

RoosEvELT's TRIP.

ITINERARY OF THE DISTIN-
GUISHED CANDIDATE THROUGH
THE STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA
Grand Forks, Aug. 27.-In relation
to the trip of Hon. Theodore Roose-
velt the latest advices of the state COM
mittee indicate that he will arrive in
the state one day sooner that hereto
fore announced. Mr. Roosevelt's tour
is under the direction of the national
committee and the state committee is
simply asked to cooperate with the
national organization in so far as the
itinerary in this state is concerned. 1t
is expected that our senators and as
many Of our officials and candidates as
can do so will meet our distinguished
candidate for vice president at Aber-
deem or some point enroute to Fargo
and accompany Mr.. Roosevelt on his
trip through the state. The state fair
management will be disappointed in
not having Mr.. Roosevelt present dur
ing fair week in Mandan, beginning on
the 18th, as it would give him an op-
pcrtunity to meet with scores Of ranch
men, cowboys and others with whom
he was associated in a business capac-
ity during his stay in the state back in
the SOS, but the national committee.
under whose direction he is making the
tour, has arranged his Montana dates
to preclude a longer stay than already
announced in Dakota. AS now ar
ranged MIR. Roosevelt will leave Aber-
deem, via the c., M. & st. P. railway on
the evening OF the 10Th, arriving in
Fargo at G:3O in the evening. The
next day will be spent en- route to Bis
marcll, where rally is announced for
the 10th. Until definite information
is obtained it will be impossible to
make the itinerary for the trip through
the state. The state committee is de-
sirous of fixing the train schedule so
that stops along the line may be made
to give every community an opportun-
ity to see the distinguished gentleman.

MOB A WOMAN,
Fierce Battle Between a Mob and a
Desperate Woman at Gilman,
Illinois.

Two Deputies Killed and Several Per-

Battle.

Gilman, Ills, Aug. 21.-John Myers
and Michael Ryan are dead. Lawrence
George Willoughby, DR.. Meiz and c. w.
Wright are fatally wounded and Peter
Lauer seriously hurt as the result of an
all night battle between a mob and
Mrs. Wright, who was accused of the
murder of Bessie Salcar 1G years old.
Constable Nilstead early last even
ing went to Mrs. Wright's house on the
outskirts of town to serve warrants
which were sworn out after the COR
oners verdict \ number of deputies
accompanied the constable who found
the doors of the house barricaded, but
broke it down and as he entered the
darkened rooms a shot was fired and
Michael Ryan, deputy, fell dead. The
constables hurrieuly leIr. They formed
a picket line about the house, firing in
to the building at intervals. They
finally determined to set fire to the
house but the rains had soaked it so it
couldn't catch.
After burning outbuildings the line
reformed and at } this morning mob
of 25O gathered, fully armed. Ryan's
body lay on the grass and the grief of
the family who came to the scene
drove the crowd to frenzy. They
seized straw saturated with petroleum
and piled a. against a so-called hospital
and applied torch. The building
was soon in flames. A shot came from
the upper windows at this time and
Willoughby was next to fall. Peter
Lauer then went down suddenly in the
rear. Several shots came, followed
by fusilade from the mob who, rush
ing forward found John Myers, black
smith employed by the woman, shot to
pieces and Mrs. Wright with a ragged
hole in her shoulder. She was carried
to the council chamber but will die.
The house was completely destroyed.
The woman was fifty years old. for
merly an actress. She conducted a
lying-in hospital on the outskirts of
the city.

sists of grinding the coal to powder
and then compressing IL. The prin-
cipal ingredient as a binder is cheap
grade of molasses, sixty pounds of
which is used in each ton of coal. By
this process the coal is put in the same
shape as the hard coal from Pennsyl-
vania and is made in all sizes from
egg coal to a much larger size in the
shape of cylinder; it is claimed that
in this form the coal will not slack as
is usual with Ignite coal and that with
CRATES made especially for it's use it
will give perfect satisfaction.
Mr.. Jewell says it will be possible to
put the new coal on the market at a
figure that will insure it's use all over
the state. In this connection it might
are being refitted for the use of this
coal, which will in future be used en-
tirely fol. fuel. Many of the other
smaller furnaces in business blocks
throughout the state will be put in
shape to use the Ignite coal in it's new
form.
The mines that are being developed
will employ an immense number of
men and this is one feature of the de-
velopment Of the coal industry that
will be of great Importance to the bus
mess of the state. Heretofore the use
of the coal has been more of an exper-
iment but from present indications and
the reports that have been received
from the seat OF operations it would
appear that the coal industry would
soon develop into one of the most i'm
portant in the state.
The fuel question has always been
one of prime Importance not only in
Dakota but throughout the northwest,
as the long winter months necessitate
the using Of an immense amount of it.
The freight rates have always been an
important factor in the cost of coal and
this factor will be eliminated if the
native coal Of North Dakota can be put
upon the market in such shape as to
make its use practicable for heating
purposes of all kinds.
If the hopes of those who are inter-
ested in the mines are realized the ma
tive coal will be Dy far the cheapest
fuel ever furnished and will be used
almost exclusively throughout the val
ley, as in the new form it will be as
clean, and as easily handled as any
other coal and the cost will be much
less.
