HAS A new PROCESS
Automatic Heating and Lighting
Company is Organized With
$500. 900 Capital.

A new heating and lighting company
to operate in opposition to the company
seeking natural gas franchise has
been organized. 1t is the Automobile
Lighting and Heating Company, which
was Incorporated at Columbus last
week.
This company is in possession of a
new process by which it is proposed to
furnish homes with equipment at a cost
of only s25, and by means of which a
house it is claimed, can be both lighted
and heated. The invention utilizes a
new composition and system similar
to the acetelyne gas processes. A Bun
sen burner is used for heating, and a
mantle for furnishing light.
The company was Incorporated for
$500, 900 and patents are being applied
for. The first meeting to organize was
held yesterday forenoon In the law
offices of Nj. B. & Fl. Fl. johnson. in the
American Trust building. Officers
were not elected yesterday, but will be
next Saturday. Henry Soeder, con-
tractor of No. 974 Payne avenue, is
prominent in the new company. Cleye-
land Leader.

THAT DOTY REPORT.

The City Council meets this evening
and it Is possible that some one may
make a motion to adopt the Doty re-
port. The REPUBLICAN wishes again
to call attention to it's pernicious
recommendations.
The recommendation that no further
expense be incurred in endeavoring to
bring the guilty to justice nor 10 secure
the money illegally distracted from the
the Treasury, is a.suggestion to all who
may be tempted to steal from the city
to take all there is in sight, and make
the city too poor to prosecute them.
This is certainly a bright suggestion.
Again. the suggestion that there
should be no effort to prosecute. be-
cause there are some who have nothing
to pay back, is equally pernicious.
There are some on this list who drew
money in excess of what they had any
right to, who have not paid it back, but
are amply able to. The attempt to
screen these behind others is too thin
to deceive the public.
Again, ell of the report on this line
smacks of compounding felony. The
Council ought to adopt Gen. Grants
motto, Let no guilty man escape"
rather than the suggestion of Mr.. Doty.
II any have taken money that they
were not entitled to, and have not re-
turned 1t, since the fact was pointed
out by the investigating committee, it
shows either that they feel that they
did not take more thar they were en-.
titled to, or that having taken it, they
are going to hold on to it. In either
case. the matter ought to be brought to
trial-either to vindicate the innocent,
or to make the guilty disgorge.
If the city Treasury is to be protect
ed, it cannot be done by furnishing one
man, and letting others go free.
1t has been said that the City SOlic-
itor and other lawyers advised the rec
om me ndations of this report. We can
not believe it, of the Solicitor. AS to
''other lawyers" this is too indefinite
to be taken as authority in interpreting
any law.
Finally, if the Council should adopt
this report, it would stop all efforts to
secure the rights of the city, and every
one who has helped himself from the
Treasury, can safely walk off with his
aWap

HOUSE STRUCK

The home of w. T. G. Snyder, corner

struck by lightning, Friday evening.
A large square chimney of brick and

BATTLE IN WYOMING.
The Custer Massacre to be Repro
duced inWyomin9 on the 4th
Of July-lO0O Indians
to Take Part.

A reproduction OF the historic Custer
Massacre, near to the place where poor
Custer and his gallant band in reality
met their tragic fate, is what will occur
at Sheridan, Wyoming, on the 4th of
July. Near by is the Crow Indian
reservation and the Sioux are not far
of, so it is planned to bring a thousand
warriors together and take part in this
unique outdoor drama. The battle
will be the main feature of three days
carnival, July 3, 4 and 8, during which
there will be a continuous Wild West
show, Indian games, polo, horse races,
cattle roping and branding contests.
Sheridan is on the Burlington railroad
in Northeast Wyoming. The Indians
there now are good Indians, and not
long ago completed contract for grad
ing the new Burlington line to Cody,
Wyoming, in the Big Horn Basin
country.

The band was out last night playing
IN the interest of the saloon, and there
were some demonstrations of rejoicing,
but there were no speeches telling
what advantages or benefits are to come
to the town for two years by allowing
fourteen men to run open gin mills
here, to lead boys to their ruin and to
stroy the happiness of homes. Those
who voted for the saloon because they
believed there would be less drinking
and drunk enness, should at least have
told us how temperance was to be pro-
NOTED by the open saloon. There are
789 of US who couldn't see it that way,
and we needed comfort and instruction.
