Commissions OF Patents Duell Looks for
Revolution in the Horscless
Carriage Art in q short
Time.

Washington, jan. 2.-During the past
year there have been issued "a. $50 orig
inal patents by the patent office. an
increase of 1854 over the previous year.
A total of 1,75S design patents We're is
sued, which is a decrease of ISL over
1888. There was q decrease of IL reis-
sues, the exact number for the year
being 81. There was q total of 1,721
trade marks allowed. an increase of
~ over last year, While there 266 more
labels issued than in 1893. There was a
decrease In the number of prints al
lowed, the number issued being 81, as
against 100 last year.
This record speaks we'll for the pros
perity of the country" said Commits
sioner DUEL today. When money Is
plentiful the inventor files his applica-
the current work We'll in hand. and in
ventors are not required to wait
months and months for action upon
their applications. 1t is my impression
the year 1901 will be a record breaker
for the office.
THE horseless carriage will be as
great q fad in q few years as the BIZ
cycle, and will outlive it, because %
its universal utility. A few years ago
kAS $1,000 40 ASAo6SaF Will aP-
plications for patents for new ideas
n improvements in bicycles. Today
We are passing through much the same
experience. Hundreds of applications
are being received each week, and I
look for a revolution in the horseless
carriage art in a short time.
Within a few years there will be de-
vices more perfect than at present. Ten
years from now you will see ten such
vehicles where you see one now. What
is needed is a vehicle that will combine
simplicity and durability with cheap
ness. These are the great difficulties
which must be overcome before the
motor comes universally used.
To-day we have several varieties of
motor vehicles, but all possess disad-
vantages. The storage battery is liable
to become exhausted when one is away
from a recharging station, and Il thou
sand n n mishaps may come to
others. I believe the vehicle of the flu
ture will be operated pom the storage
aattery principle"

"poc" M1pDLEroS NOT DEAD.
Reformed Desperate Conducting u salo
at Ardmore-His Career.

Reformed Desperate Conducting n saloon
at Ardmore-His Career.
Edgemont, S. D., Ian. 2.-There is no
foundation for the reported death of
Doc" Middleton. the famous desper-
ado, who resides a few miles south OF
this city. The denial of his death is
made ~enlphatically by Middleton him
self. He is now running a saloon at
Ardmore and he has done no killing"
for a long time. Doc Middleton's first
name Is David. He is the hero of o
thousand western novels and he him
sef says there was plenty of founda-
ton for a good many OF the stories.
Middleton's first trouble arose over
a soldier in a small Nebraska town.
The soldier abused Middleton, then a
mere boy, and threw him to the ground
and attempted to stamp the life out of
the young cowboy. Middleton, all but
dead, drew his revolver and shot the
soldier, killing him instantly. Middle-
ton the fled for his life. Had he re-
NAMED II stood trial he would no
doubt have been cleared Of the crime,
but he escaped the most vigilant effort
to capture him. From that time Middle
ton was an outlaw of the worst type.
He was extremely resourCeful and for
several years he kept northwestern
Nebraska and the southern part of the
Black Hills in a state of unrest. His
organization of bandits was the ter
ror of the civilized districts. He, no
doubt. was blamed for a great many
misdeeds that he never did. His hold
ups of stage coaches were always at
the most unexpected times and places.
and 1t is said that he never failed in
his most daring robberics.
Doc Middleton has not been in good
health for several years. The hard
ships through which he passed and q
number of wounds received in his CON
aicts broke down his constitution. Not
being able to do hard work, he opened
4 saloon at Ardmore. Middleton served
several terms In different p~enitentiar-
les for crimes OF manslaughter, rob-
berries, etc, n was at last p%ardoned,
He had not carried weapons of any
kind for ten years or more, for he had
a terrible temper and he was always
afraid that he would commit some
crime If he were armed. The last
weapon he owned was a beautiful
pearl-handled six-shooter, which a
friend gave him. Even this gift the
ex-desperado parted with.
