Ancient Discovery.


Professor J. V. Brewer has been at
Mile Lac lake to locate definitely the
site of the ancient Indian village of
Kathio, which MADISON discovered in
1859. Kathio was then great
Sioux village and had a population of
over 1000. Later the Ojibways made
war on the Sioux and drove them
from the Mile Lac country forever.
Mr.. Brewer has, after two years of
exploration and investigation, come to
the conclusion that the site of Kathio
was on the two hills at the outlet of
Mile Lac lake, which is the source of
Rum river. 1t is his intention to have
a monument erected at this place to
commemorate the discovery of the an
cient village of Minnesota. The mon
ument will be, similar to the one re-

Big Business.

The total number of fares collected
by the Street Railway company dur
ing state fair week has eclipsed that
of any previous year. The number
this year was 2,497,259, as against
2,265,O32 for last year, and the only
other year that even approximates
these figures is 1896, due to the G. A.
r. convention, when 2,2O6,132 fares
were collected.
These ngures prove the ever in
creasing popularity of the Minnesota
state fair, one of the greatest expo
sitions of it's kind in the United
States.
The Street Railway company ex-
poets the total will be even greater
next year.

SOFT COAL NEEDS CARE.
Those Who Use Bituminous Fuel Mus
Learn to Handle 1t.

uOSe w no Use 61tum1uOuS Fuel NuSl
Learn to Handle 1t.
How many people understand how to
burn soft coal? OF course, the problem
presents but little difficulty when proper
furnaces and specially prepared CRATES
are installed for the purpose, but when
one turns hurriedly from one to the other
fuel with the determination to make pres
ent ixings do something more than a will
is required to ind the way. OF course,
there is Il way and it is simple enough
in reality, but it is very different way
from that which must be employed with
anthracite.
In the feed door of every furnace there
is a slide damper to admit air over the
fire. When anthracite is used this is
opened only if it is desired to deaden the
fire and lower the temperature of the
house. With soft coal it must be left
open all the time.
Tine great volume of gases evolved
from it in the coking process, which is the
first stage in its combustion, calls for
more air than can be had through the
body of fuel, and unless this is supplied
above the fire the greatest value Of the
fuel is lost up the chimney in uncon-
sumed gases.

Too much air for good combustion can
be admitted over the fire, but it is not
likely to be the case if the slide damper
in the feed door of a furnace built for
anthracite is left wide open all the time
The drafts opening in the ash pit, ON the
other hand, needs to be less widely and
continuously open than for anthracite.
With the same amount of bottom draft
which it is customary to give hard coal,
