REvENUE STAMPS FOR FUEL.
Over 81 600. 900 burned In Washington
When Coal Was scarce.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing had money to
burn last month and saved money by burn
ing it, Forty thousand dollars worth Of
revenue stamps, mixed with the regular
fuel, were -hovelled into the furnaces every
dav for month. and rs a consequence the
price of a ton of coal was saved every
twenty-four hours, Had not the revenue
stamps redeemed by the Treasury Depart
ment following the repeal Of the war taxes,
been used in heating the building they
would have been destroyed in the big brick
furnace built expressly for the purpose;
Owing TO the high price OF anthracite coal
and the scarcity of the fuel at the bureau
it was thought best to get some good out
of the tons Of waste stamps that represented
a value Of over a million dollars. This II
the first time in the history OF the Bureau
that such a use has ever been made Of con-
demned stamps. and the precedent Will
probably be followed on future occasions.

He HAD TOO MANY WIVES
b. A. Thomas Who Sold Property
Here Left With One Wife and
An Old One Turns Up.

Some of the cases in district court
are the most terrible tangles of justice
and wrong thatcan easily be imagined
Tuesday a lawyer sued to collect his
fee for securing n divorce for man
and there were four other parties in
volved, having claims on the property
which he sought 10 take. The papers
in this rather insignificant case were
numerous and voluminous. Tuesday a
worse tangle developed.
Several years ago man named B.
A. Thomas lived in lola. He bought
two lots in Bunnell's addition and
put up house on one. He had a wo-
man with him whom he introduced as
Mrs. Thomas and the two borrowed
between 500 and 5000 of Geo. A.
Bowlus on the lots, Thomas, repre-.
senting himself as a single man, bor-
rowed $l00from the Northrup bank on
the lots. Then his wife went to Joplin
to visit her mother who was i'll, leav-
ing all her clothes and possessions
save such as she wore behind her.
Then IL seems that b. A. Thomas and
a woman called Maud May Thomas,
whom il is supposed he married al
though the records of this county do
not show it, gave a deed conveying
the lots to Geo. A. Bowlus. He sold
them to Charles Marsh and wife who
occupied and improved the prem ises.
That happened last year.
Thomas and Maud May Thomas de-
parted for unknown parts. Recently
Rosa Thomas, whose real name is
Rosa Downing, has returned and
claims to be Thomas's common law
wife. She says they lived together
and were man and wife to the world
for ten years and that three children
were born to them. all three dying.
They afterwards adopted boy to
raise. She lays claim to an interest
in the property which she and Thomas
possessed and which they mortgaged as
imam and wife" in 1889. Only recently,
she claims, did she hear of the sale of
the property and now she claims an
interest and the trial is being heard
in district court. Marsh and wife and
the Bank of Allen county seem to be
holding the sack unless her claim can
be set aside or the gay Thomas can be
found and compelled to make good.

A RAILROAD TELEPHONE
Successful Test Made on the Illinois
Central Railroad.

Chicago, March 3.-In recent test
a train crew 400 miles from Chicago
talked over the telegraph wires to Mr..
Parsons Of the Illinois Central rail-
road at the Twelfth street depot. AS
q result the railroad telephone was
declared to be a success. The train
was stopped near Fulton, KY, and the
telephone was connected with the
regular telegraph wire running to
Chicago. In spite of the fact that the
message had to travel over iron wires
every word was distinctly heard by
Mr.. Parsons.
The inventor asserts that it makes
no difference whether or not tele-
graphic messages are being flashed
over the wires simultaneously with the
telephone messages. This was tested
by the successful transmission of a
telegraphic communication from Full
ton at the same time Parsons was con-
versing with the crew.
