SUBSTITUTES FOR COAL
ARE BEING CONSIDERED
Inventors Are Seeking to Find Some REM
edy for Scarcity In Fuel.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. 25:-Eyi-
dences Of the danger to the anthracite
market from the education of the pub
lie in the use of competitive product Is
furnished by recent patent office returns
Since the beginning of the coal strike
there has been very perceptible increase
of interest manifested by inventors In
devices for burning oil for fuel purposes.
The patent office Is receiving a weekly
average Of twenty-five applications on
inventions for burning oil, gas and vapors
for the production Of heat and power.
Up to the present time the Office has
granted 1880 patents or machines which
use oil for fuel and 2,700 machines for
those using gas and vapor.
When the difficult problem Of using oil
as fuel for general household purposes Is
finally solved it will likely be by improve
ments on inventions. The main ideas
were worked out nearly fifteen years ago,
when an attempt was made to put into
more practical use the worlds supply Of
oil. Today the whole matter is placed
on another, plane by the change in the
relative prices of coal and OIL Texas oil
is on the market in almost inexhaustible
quantities, and coal has increased greatly
in price, with the prospect of an anthra-
cite famine This condition has given
an added impetus to the efforts of the in
ventors to perfect practicable methods for
the use Of oil as fuel

BORROWS FROM BRIDE
TO BUY TROUSSEAU
But None Is Bought and Bridegroom
Fails to Show Up at the
Wedding.

Special to The Globe.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 25.-
The wedding OF Clara Knutson and
Hjalmar Mathison was to have been
celebrated last night at the Steel Plant
Norwegian Lutheran church. The
church was filled with guests, the bride
and her relatives and friends were
there and the pastor was ready to per-
form the ceremony, but no bridegroom
appeared. The party remained in the
church for two hours after the ap-
pointed time, but Mathison was not
found, and the sdisconsolate bridal par
ty was forced to return home.
The missing. groom. 1t is believed.
was last seen at i o'clock in the after
noon. Previously he had borrowed $2S
from his bride with which to puchase
wedding outfit, but as nearly as can
be learned, no outfit was secured.
Mathison, 1t is claimed, acted in sim
liar manner about four years ago. 1t
is supposed that he repented OF his
decision and left the city to remain
away until the storm blew over.

Mayor of Hammond, Ind, Offers to
Marry Young Men Free of
Charge.

Special to The Globe.
{, HAMMOND, Ind, Sept. 25.-Mayor
A. F. Knots announced today that for
the next month he will marry Ham,
nond young men free Of charge. He
will go further than this. Though not
a rich man, he will help them to start
homes in any way that lies in his pow
er.
In expressing his desire to swell the
list Of new benedicts in this city he
regretted the fact that there were SO
many single men in Hammond and
was spurred on to make his gratuitous
offer by thinking it might shame some
of the better-off classes into matri-
mony.
Mayor Knots scheme for promoting
matrimony is novel idea of his own.
Hammond is full of young working
men of marriageable age to whom 81,

tees of the peace, means a great deal
and this fact the executive recognizes.
The scheme is only one of the many
that the new mayor has cleaned from
his social and economic theories. He
is a strong devotee of Henry George
and since his election has advocated
many unique ideas in municipal gov
ernment. He was elected mayor of
Hammond in opposition to both Dem
ocrats and Republicans and refuses
to adopt any municipal measure unless
he calls mass meeting and consults
the people of the city.

sented by the speaker Of the national
house, David B: Henderson, who de-
clined a denomination. The report of
the committee on resolutions today
was adopted by the convention as fol-
lows:
1--WE, the representatives Of the Re-
publicans of the Third congressional
district of Iowa, heartily indorse the
platform of principles adopted by the
late Republican state convention at
Des Moines. We deny that the Dingley
tariff breeds and shelters trusts. We
interpret the tariff plank in the Des
Moines platform of 1902 to be nearly a
reiteration of and to mean no more
than the st. Louis plank of 1896, which
recited: We are not pledged to any
particular schedules. The question of
rates is a practical question to be gov
erned by the conditions Of the times
and of production. The ruling and un-
compromising principle is the protec-
ton and development of American Ia
Dor and industry"
President Roosevelt and Speaker
Henderson are praised and the with
drawal of the latter regretted.
D. C. CHASER, Of Dubuque, resigned
as chairman of the congressional COM
mittee, and George E. Wright, of Eagle
Grove, was elected to fill the vacancy.
Judge Birdsall is about forty five

held is the judgeship of the district

LittlefieId After Henderson,s Sandals.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Sept 20.
Congressman Littlefeld, Of Maine,
passed through this city today en- route
to San Francisco from Denison, Iowa,
where he has been the guest of Con-
gresham J. P. Connor for a few days.
He expressed himself very well
pleased with the West and especially
with Iowa and his people. He stated
that he was going directly to San
Francisco, and after a few days rest
would campaign all of the Pacific
states under the direction of the ma
tional Republican congressional COM
mittee. He stated that outside of Iowa
he thought the withdrawal of Speaker
Henderson would be of no appreciable
effect, while in Iowa he was satisfied
the action of the speaker would have
the effect of awakening the Republi-
cans to a greater activity than they
would otherwise have exhibited. He
anticipated a better showing for Iowa
Republicans this year than they made
last year.
Asked Of the rumor that he was to
be a candidate for speaker of the house
to succeed Speaker Henderson he stat
ed he was an ayowed candidate with
very fattering prospects. He said his
support would come from all parts Of
the country.
Mr.. Littlefield will spend three weeks
on the coast and will make his way
East over the Great Northern railway,
speaking in every state on his return
trip.
