SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING.

DR.. Bowling Benjamin, in
the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, says: 1.-THE oil stove, the
gas s:ove, and the gasoline
stove are generators Of poison,
and yet of late years the custom
of heating rooms by these de-
Yices has become more and more
common. The most poisonous
gas generated from coal oil, gas
oline, OF gas, is known to chem
lists as carbon monoxide, and is
Invisible, colorless, odorless, and
.tasteless, and yet five per cent.
of it in the atmosphere is abso-
lutely fatal to animal life in a
short time. The other most
poisonous gas, carbon dioxide,
has a very slight odor. It's pres
ence in the room is scarcely per-
ceptible, and yetit is a deadly
poison. When the monoxide
and dioxide are mixed, as they
usually are in the products of
combustion, their poisonous
properties seem to be enhanced.
A room 49, IS feet, with an g.
foot ceiling, contains abous Il.
500 cubic feet Of air, which is
normally ene-fifth oxygen and
four-ffths nitrogen, and, there
fore, contains about 300 feet of
oxygen. By the combustion of
fuel we have not only the pro-
duction of poisonous gas, but
we have the rapid destruction Of
the oxygen in the room, without
which oxygen life is impossible.
It would take about a gallon and
ahalf of coal oil to consume ali
the oxygen in the room provided
no fresh air was admitted; and
thus the 900 cubic feet of oxygen
would be supplied by about 900
cubic feet of poisonous oxides Of
carbon gases. 1t will be readily
seen that it is only by the con-
stans and accidental admission
of fresh air into rooms that are
heated by these devices, which
threw products of combustion in
to the room, that permits anyone
to come out alive"

FEELS THRILL OF LIFE
Because of the Nearness Of
Another Big Opening.

Minco, I. T., Jan. 19.-Now that the
way is clear the opening of the Wichita
reservation at an early date has become
an assured fact. Really, it could easily
be prepared for white settlement in ad-
vaSce Of The Kiowa and Comanche
country, but It seems The general senu-
nent to have both countries opened at
the same time, and it is quite likely that
it win be the policy Of the administra-
ton. So much has been said about the
glories and beauty and fertility Of the
Kiowa and Comanche country by the
towns and people of the newspapers, and
eli down the line from Washita to Red
river. that it is now about time for the
people Of AIinco and the Minstrel to sing
a song about the Wichita reservation.
Of course We are alone in this campaign.
as NIinco is the only town on the Rock
Island railroad bordering on the Wichita
reservation, and the only town on the
Inc between the South Cane1ian river
and the Washita river, with the entire
reservation lying between those rivers
and broadside from Minco. In all the re-
cent racket about the great country to
be opened to settlement, the Wichita res
ervaton has been entirely ignored, ana
the general public are consequently un-
aware even yet that the Wichita reserva-
ton IS certain to be thrown open at the
same time with the other country, if not
before.
Compared as to area, the Wichita reser-
walton is less than one-third as large as
Kiowa and Comanche. But compared in
any other 7Sy It will take first place. AS
whole It is far better as an agricultural
land. It is much better off in the way of

Chandler TO Guessing.
HAS MYSTERIOUS ENDING

Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 1s.-An unusual in
stance Of kidnapping with a mysterious
finale is reported from Chandler. As the
News relates the details the story runs as
follows:
Some months ago Mr. and Mrs E.
Johnson. Of Oklahoma City. separated by
mutual agreement, the father taking the
custody Of their year-old baby girl With
the understanding that the mother was to
have the child when she become fnan-
cialy able 10 care for her. SIr. johnson
first secured the baby a place with his
parents at Oklahoma City. but few
weeks ago removed her to Stroud and ar
ranged to have Henry Taylor. of that
place adopt her.
Monday Mrs. Johnson found out where
her child was and tried to recover her
by the present popular kidnapping method.
but Mr. Taylor pursued her and recover
ed the child. after a hard struggle Then
Mrs. Johnson came to Chandler and
brought habeas corpus proceedings before
Judge CordeH, who heard the case yes
terday and returned the baby to her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor being willing to let
the child go as soon as the fact OF the
was established.
Mrs. Johnson is apparently q woman Of
refinement and the child is as pretty a
baby as one ever sees, and much sym
patty was excited on their behalf when
the mother wept in giving her testimony
in court.
The closing Of the incident is sufficiently
