THESE DONTS
ARE VALUABLE.
Now That Coal Oil Has Come
Into More GeneralUSe
By tie People.

With a coal famine staring the peo.
pie in the face there has been boom
in the manufacture and sale Of coal
oil stoves and the coming winter will
see thousands more of them in use
than in previous years. Coal oil is a
good servant. but bad m as ter. Treat
it we'll and It returns the compliment,
grow careless in its use and it may
destroy life and property and cause
lasting and painful injuries. In view
of the winters prospect it is well
to lay down a few rules in every
household about the use of coal oil
for fuel.
They are here SUNNI arized in
"dozen dont's:"
Don't fill the reservoir when the
stove is burning.
s.iDon't fail to have a thoroughly
good stove in the first place.
Don't burn any but oil Of the best
quality,
Don't spill oil upon the stove, or if
you do SO by accident, wipe it off
carefully before approaching 1t with
a lighted match OF any other
flame.
Don't fail to fill the tank out of
doors. if the stove be provided with
detachable tank.
Don't forget that the less oil there
is in the tank the more gas there is
generoted from the oil, and unless the
gas escape hole in the stopper is suf-
ticent for the escape of this gas it is
likely to flame up when the wick is
lighted, causing small explosion
that may have big results. The we'll
filled lamp is safest.
Don't fail at frequent intervals to
boil the perforated wick tubes in soda
water or lye, that the ventilation
may be free, or an i'll smelling stove
will result.
Don't try to force the wick too
high, or smoke aud odor will be in.
evitable. Some stoves have automa.
tic wick regulators
Don't expect good combustion un.
less you turn the wick low attirst un.
til the cylinder is heated through.
Don't fail to frequently scrape eff
the charred incrustation on the ex.
tinquished wick with knife to Sc.
cure clear dame.
Don't forget that little oil in the |
tank causes rapid consumption of
wicks.
Don't Set your burning stove near
the draft of door or open window
or you lose heat and gain an unpleas.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 22.-The spe-
ciaI committee of the board OF univer-
sity regents appointed to nominate a.
president of the institution to take
the place of Charles Kendall Adams,
met at the Hotel Pfister yesterday
and discussed the situation and the
candidates without coming to con-
clusion. AS is usual the meeting was
not public and only the substantial
facts are known All the members of
the committee were present. These
are Regents Villas, Pulls, Stout, Kir-
wan and Edmunds. The meeting be-
gain in the morning and was conclud-
ed before evening.
After the meeting the regents said
the selection of president would
probably not come until June when
the regular meeting of the board is
held. However, it is likely to be de-
terminated at special meeting of the
committee before that time as it is
realized that in the event of the selec-
ton of an outside man it would be
necessary for him to adjust his rela-
he is to come.
At the meeting yesterday the only
Madison men whose names were men
toned as possibilities were Dr. E. A.
Birge and Prof. G. r. Van Hise. 1t
is said that Regent Stout favored
State superintendent L. D. Harvey.
Were it a few years later the name
of Professor F. J. Turner would as
suredly be prominently mentioned
Indications, as a result of the con-
ference of yesterday, point now not to
the selection of any member Of the
faculty, although the regents appre-
ciate the strength of certain members
in various lines. The chances are
that some one will be chosen from the
east and particularly man whose
ence along the line of executive duties
similar to those which the president
Of the university will have to per
form.
The outside candidates whose
names were placed before the nomin-
ating committee were: Benjamin Ide
Wheeler of the University of Ca1ifor-
MIA; Prof jerks of Cornell and J. w.
Bashford of Ohio Wesleyn university.
Prof jerks, if he could be obtained,
has the strongest standing with the
nominating committee and there may
be some correspondence with him on
the subject.

F AMILY DEAD
EIGHT DAYS

Chicago, April ga colored family
of six persons was found dead in a
house at 34th and State streets last
night. The family had been dead for
eight days and their bodies were par
TALLY eaten by rats. The police are in
clined to believe that the husband and
father, Jones Butler, an upholsterer,
poisoned the family and himself. His
body was thrown across those of the
family and was fully clothed, while
the others were partly or wholly I'M
dressed. Butler is said to have had
frequent difficulties with his wife, and
had made threats to do away with his
family. 1t is thought dependency due
to brooding over conditions surround
ing his family, who were in utter pow
erty, caused Butler to go insane and
take the lives of all seven.
