POWER FROM THE CLOUDS.
Chicago Mans Plan TO Draw EIec-
tricitY with Magnet md Wires.


Existence of electricity in unlimited
quantities aboye the clouds, the practi-
cability of bringing such electricity to
earth for commercial purposes, and dis
putation of Newtons theory of eravita-
tion--such are the basic ideas leading to
experiments about to be conducted on
Pixies Peak by +. X. Schoonmaker of
Chicago, acting for Prof. Gallatm Whit
ney, for years professor of science at the
University of Illinois. From machinery
of special and peculiar design, installed
ut the top of the peak, $4,000 feet above
the sea- it is intended - discharge
magnet upwad. TO this magnet will be
attached thousands of feet of thin copper
wire 1t is believed that when this mag
net reaches n certain altitude the lnflu-
ence of the earth will cease to be felt
and the magnet will remain suspended i'll
space. This altitude Is expected to be
about 10000 feet. The theory by which
this startling result is hoped to be OBJ
tanned is that Newton was wrong in
thinking that objects are attached to the
earth by the pull of gravitation. They
are really kept to the earth, say believ-
ers in Whtney's doctrines, by the pull
of electricity. This pull becomes lesser
the greater the altitude At n certain
point 1t ceases to be felt altogether, and
at this point, it is claimed, there exist
vast reserves Of electricity in the ether
Having attained this altitude, the magnet
will gather tremendous masses of the
ether electricity about it. BY means of
the wire the electricity will be tapped
and conducted to the earth Here 1t will
be stored and become available for pur-

by anger and jealousy, William P.
Hollenback, employed at the Mis-
souri, Elevator company, shot his
wife three times and, turning the
weapon on himself, sent two bullets
through his heart. The woman will
recover.
Hollenback and his wife have not
been living peaceably for several
months and separated last week with
a mutual agreement to live apart in
the future. Yesterday he called
upon his wife, who was sick in bed,
and telling her he had Christmas
present for her, pulled revolver
and shot her three times. Pearl os.
born, his l7-year-old step-daughter,
was in the room, but managed to es-
cape. Hollenback then killed himself.

IS 1T A MERGERa


Denver, Col, Dec. 27.-Suits repre-

the United States land office at Pu-
eblo by attorneys for the Utah Fuel
company against the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company. These suits are
40 in number and claim the 5000
acres of coal land on the western
slope valued at $1,000 an acre. 1t is
alleged that the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company is holding the land as
agricultural land and the patents or
applications SO read, and that the
Utah company will lose heavily in
coal mines already opened up unless
the titles obtained by the Colorado
company are set aside.
The suits are filed, it is believed,
as q preliminary step to the merg-
Ing of the two corporations, the ac-
ton being taken to clear titles.

SALARIES TO BE INCREASED.
Better Pay for President Mitchell and SEQ.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 27.-It IL
probable that at the coming conven.
ton Of the United Mine Workers OF
America a movement will be inau-
gurated to increase the salaries Of
President Mitchell and Secretary
Wilson. At present Mr.. Mitchell re-
ceives $1,000 year, while Mr.. Will
sons compensation is $500. Dur
ing the strike both of these men
with the other officers contributed Is
per cent. of their wages to the strike
fund. The friends of the officers will
ask that the salaries be raised. The
miners are looking forward to Sc
curing an increase in pay for them
selves and they want their executive
officials to share the profits. The
Mine Workers Journal, the organ Of
the organization, takes it so granted
that an increase will be allowed.
The coming convention will break
all records for labor conventions.
Last year there were about 1000
delegates, representing a member
ship of nearly $4,000. It is expected
there will be over 1900 delegates at
the coming convention, as the organ
cation has had great growth.
