INVENTED A ROTARY ENGINE.


[Shenandoah Sentinel.l
1t seems quite probable that Shen-
andoah will furnish what the indus
trial world mas long been waiting for,
a rotary engine-and that a man with
the extraordinary name of Smith VIII
be the successful inventor. So many
failures have heaped up the scrap-lron
piles all over the country that one
must be cautious in asserting the
claims of another invention on that
line. Saturday NJ. K. Bryte. engineer
at the water works, telephoned the
Sentinel that rotary engine was IN
operation there. Sure enough. there
on q pine box stood a little engine no
bigger than a water pail, running as
smoothly as the dynamo at the power
house, its little fly wheel making 1000
revolutions a minute and carrying a
pressure of 100 pounds like a brake.
No piston, no dead centers, the steam
entered the single box or steam chest.
and did its work with precision and
power that was admirable. From all
appearance the problem was solved
it has stood all tests so far made. prov
ing the principle of it's construction
to be correct. 1t is not turbine, but
1T involves the compound use of steam,
all in the same chest. 1t is the inven-
ton of Milliard Smith well known as
student of mechanical engineering. He
has been two years working out his
Idea, making his engine himself at odd
times. Mr.. Smith is very modest in his
claims for his engine. but is greatly
pleased to find that so far 1t works be-
yond his expectations. He proposes
now to give 1t one more test, that for
durability. If it stands the test 1t Is
go. Those who have seen ii are enthus-
iastic in the belief that 1t is success,
and Mr. Smith can have all the backing
he wants in putting II on the market.
1t can be made for less than half the
cost Of the ordinary engine. 1t can be
made reversible for traction purposes.
and as everybody gnows, will be an inn
mense saving in power. AS nearly as
can be estimated this little trial engine.
which will almost go in an oyercoat
pocket. is capable of producing about
horse power. Like all great inven-
tons it is extremely simple, has but
few parts. but is scientific in principle.
II this doesn't go, we must conclude
that rotary engine. like perpetual mo-
ton. is an ignis fatuus.

cracking of the fire overhead in the at

the fire was so difficult to reach the
house was considerably damaged by
water before the flames were eAtin-

surance. The house was also insured.
Mr.. Eaton was burned out entirely
about three years ago. and the loss falls
on him heavily this time.

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS.
Do Hair no Good, But Often Cause 1t
to Fall Out,

Many hair preparations are fake
because they are merely scalp irritants.
They often cause dryness. making the
hair brittle, and, finally. lfeless. Dan
druff is the cause of all the trouble with
the hair. 1t is a germ disease. The germ
makes cuticle scales as it digs to the
root of the hair, where 1t destroys the
hairs vitality, causing the hair to fall
out. To cure dandruff, the germ must
be killed. Destroy the cause. you re-
move the effect" Newbro's Herpicide
is the only hair preparation that kills
the dandruff germ, thereby leaving the
hair to grow luxuriantly.

COFFEE: JOHNS PAST
He Was in Trouble Before Coming
to Minneapolis.
TWO INDICTMENTS IN CHICAGO
One Charges Him With Passing a
Bad Check, the Other With Sell
ing Mortgaged Property.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, July John G. Fitchette,
alias Coffee JOHN better known as the
confidential police captain of Mayor Ames,
has been under a cloud once before his
recent experience in the Hennepin county
courts.
Two indictments now stand against him
in Cook county, Illinois, and these could
be resurrected at any time, placed on the
calendar in the criminal court of Chicago
and John Fitchette, alias Coffee john"
could be prosecut ed under each OF them. ::
1t is improbable that such action will be
taken by the states attorney Of Cook
county, so long g Captain Fitchette, alias
Coffee John,' remains away from that
city, but should he openly return 1t is not.
improbable that trouble might be created
for him. ......
AS it is, the county authorities of Cook
county stand ready to lend the Hennepin
county authorities all the assistance that
lies in their power in the present prosecu-
ton. If County Attorney Boardman and
Assistant County Attorney AL j.. Smith
want to use the Chicago indictments as
bearing upon the past character of Cap
tain Fitchette, alias Coffee John,' all
they must do to procure them Is to write
to the clerk of the criminal court of Cook
county and certified copies will be sent
by one of the first mails. :
The reason that Captain Fitchette, alias
Coffee John,' was not prosecuted in
Cook county under the indictments
brought in against him, was that he could
not be found when he was wanted. Under
one Indictment no return Of an arrest
was ever made, although the warrant was
returned by the sheriff nearly month
after it was given to him for service, and
this is taken to indicate that the conf
Dental captain of Mayor Ames was miss
ing when he was want ed.
The first Indictment charges that "John
Fitchette, alias Coffee John" gave to
John Parkz a check for $500 in payment
for two diamonds, and that "said paper
writing (check) was not then and there
q good, genuine and available order in
payment of the sum of $500, nor was the
same then and there of the value of $500"
Accompanying this Indictment Is rec
ord of arrest and a memorandum stating
that Parkz went to Coffee John" after he
found out that the check was no good.
and demanded his diamonds. CAPTAIN
Fitchette- refused to give them up, and
said, "he got them too. cheap Later.
the memorandum says, Parkz again de-
manded the diamonds, and Fitchette told
him that he had pawned them. ~.
The second Indictment is the one with
which there is no record of arrest. It
charges that John Fitchette morteaged
his goods and chattels at an oyster house,
178 West Madison street, to Oliver w.
Miller and George W. Bennett for
selling this mortgaged property. -.

STRIKE HELPS SOME
Ignite Men Will Take Advantage
of Anthracite Situation.
CAPACITY OF MINES INCREASED
Plans Made to Put the Industry
Upon a Permanent
Basis.

North Dakota Ignite mine operators
are preparing to campaign the northwest
for coal trade during the coming season
more vigorously than ever before. One OF
| the big companies will pay special atten-
ion to the trade in Minneapolis and St.
Paul. -
Former Senator w. ID. Washburn said
this morning that the capacity of the
Washburn ignite mines at Wilton had
been greatly increased and four times the
amount OF coal mined last season wo' d
be produced between now and spring. The
Washburn f.lines will begin operations on
a big scale in few days and large guam
titles of Ignite will be st ored in Mime
| apolis, st. Paul and other northwest tern
points to make, the supply more certain
when the heavy trade begins. The Wash
burn mines now have a capacity of 200
tons daily and during the winter months
there will be a uniform output Of at least
1000 tons per day.
L. M. Davis, manager of the big mine
at Burlington, N D., is in the city maxi
Ing preparations for the seasons opera
tions. He says that the scarcity of min
ers is a difficulty confronting the mine
owners. Many Of the Ignite coal miners
have become farmers and are making
money raising flax in western North Da-
kota. The Washburn company Is building
homes for it's miners at Wilton and en-
deavoring to make the work as attractive
to the employees as possible. 81:
The Ignite operators are following the
strike situation in the east closely. They
are confident Of a good demand under
normal conditions, as the increase in pop
| ulation in western North and South Da-
kota assures it. The mines along the 500
and on the Washburn road will be able to
ship more advantageously into western
South Dakota with the completion of the
500 into Bismarck. If the strike should
continue another thirty days it is be-
lteved lignite's opportunities would be
still better, as the price of coal in the
| northwest would be extraordinarily high.

BULLS BOOST WHEAT
A Very Lively Session at Chamber
of Commerce.
RISE IS FOLLOWED BY BREAK
Wet Weather and Fear of Manipu-
lation the Disturbing
Elements. rs

The hveliest session. for some time was
that this morning at the Chamber OF
Commerce. A regular ~old-fashioned bull
market was under way at the start and
the pit was all activity Traders post
roned business only long enough to vote
on the proposition to adjourn the cham
ber from Thursday until Monday, which
went through with whooc.
BY 11:30 September wheat was selling
at 731@c which was 35sc over Saturday S
close at 69hc. The market kept on climb
ing until afternoon and near the close
when July was up to 7SAc and September
to 74c. -. ~ ",~ --
Suddenly the Chicago corn market went
to pieces and Caicago July corn broke
cents. In twinkling everybody In the
local pit had wheat to sell. September
fell from 74c to 1850 on one break with
out recovery. At the close July was bid
up 1c and closed at 7S12c.
The wet weather, which is bad for crops
in general and fear Of manipulation In
July and a possible corner are the dis
turbing features in wheat. At the close
every trader seemed at sea at to what
move to expect next.

"HORSES" ON THREE
Mr.. Dorner's First Experience With
an HAuto.''
DROVE THE HoRsELEss TOO HARD
1t Baked and the Three Occupants
Had Long Walk
Home.

Honest" John Dorner's expansive, up
holstered smile reflected the glories OF
the June morn, the sparrows sang merrily
around the caves and all nature seemed
at peace, little recking of the disaster
which was pending.
This was on Friday morning last, and
the scene was in front of Mr.. Dorner's
catering establishment on Sixth street,
where the genial John was awaiting the
arrival of an automobile which was tack
ing to and fro, lodging pedestrians and
vehicles on Sixth street block away. 1t
was long, low, rakish- looking craft with
two piratical looking pilots with vicious
visor caps and blue goggles, both Of whom
were trying to operate the helm at the
same time. This fact may have accounted
in part for the autos strange gyrations,
and was, no doubt, largely excusable, for
it was the crews first trip "at sea-"
Mr.. Dorner was also about to take his
it was at his suggestion that the cruise
was about to be taken. In pleasant an
ticipation of the event, the smile had con-
tnued to develop until it involved his
entire facial expanse by the time Harry
Turner Of the Lumber Exchange, and a
long, dark individual who accompanied
him, finally heaved anchor in front Of
Johns place.
The Absent ChnufBeur.
Mr.. Dorner was disappointed to learn,
when the carriage stopped, that the lady
chauffeur whom he had been given to un-
derstand would accompany them had
failed of her appointment. It was for
that, that he had fastened a. dainty bou-
toniere in the lapel of his coat and had
paid unusual attention to his toilet. Per-
haps, also, that was why the lunch which
he had prepared for the days outing was
a trife more elaborate than 1t might
otherwise have been.
They were about to start;when Mr.. Dor
ner remembered that he had forgotten
something. He went into the store and
emerged little later, armed with a long,
black whip.
II never could feel quite right in q
buggy without a whip" he explained.
We'll imagine there's horses,ahead of US
and we may have to use it in self-de-
fense."
Whipped Imaginary Horses.
Then they were off out Hennepin ave-
nue.. Mr.. Dorner applied his whip Wig
orously upon the imaginary horses all the
way out, and they sped along at lively
rate. At Lake street they turned over
to Calhoun boulevard and coursed merrily
along the lake shore and through Inter
lachen to Lake Harriet.
Had they stopped here all would have
been we'll, but Mr.. Dorner was for pushing
on south of Harriet to Bloomington Fer
ry. They we're about a mile from the
Minnesota river when the machine began
to balk and finally came to a dead stand
still. All efforts of the driver to repair
the vehicle were futile, and at his advice
thre three chaufeurs finally started for
Minneapolis, twelve miles away.
The perspiration poured from Mr.. Dor
ner In a stream, and when they finally hit
the ties Of the old motor line he re-
marked that it wasn't such a horseless
carriage after all. -
"Theie seems to be very large horse
on each of u.s. he said. mo more auto
mobiling for me-
