TIE millions Of the murdered
William Marsh Rice are again tied
up in the courts by claims of the
relatives Of the dead man. Mr..
Rice would better have given his
requests to the proposed Rice Insti-
tute during his lifetime. This
would have insured the founding
OF the institution without delay,
and ID would probably have pro
ionged the old mans life also, for
without his millions none would
have wished for his death.

that state the registration law and
Che requirement that poll tax
receipt be presented at the polls by
each voter, both combined, did not
prevent the casting Of hundreds, if
not thousands, Of fraudulent votes.

Messrs. Barron & Demory have COM

for patent. 1t can be used on loco
motives, stationary boilers. cooking
and heating stoves for hot air heat
ing. In fact, it can be used for any

for a cooking stove for eight hours

converts the oil into gas and is per-
fectly safe, with no smoke or odor.
These gentlemen will erect a plant at
once for the manufacture of their in
vention. The cost Of placing their
burners in stoves and resident fire
places will depend upon the amount of
pipe used, which varies in size to suit
the premises from half inch pipe

has already attracted the attention of
local capitalists and no doubt stock
company will be formed later to sup
ply the demand.
