many to protect the country against

him to protect them against the Rus

at present no trouble between Sweden

According to newly discovered meth
DDS, the vast peat bogs Of the country
contain peat which can be converted
dnt0 gas and the gas into electric pow
er.- The peat itself is too bulky to be
used to advantage as fuel for steam
or electric plants or for running loco
motives and steamboats,, but the peat
gas, which has the same heating value
as coal gas, can easily be transported
in iron tanks from the bog where it is
generated to any part Of the country.
Peat also may be converted into cleo
fTicity and the electric power trans
ferred any distance to the place where
1t is wanted. While the process and
appliances for generating peat gas are
no more expensive than those used in
generating coal gas, the peat consumed

owned by a Danish stock company and
they have control of all patents. No
settlement has yet been arrived at
with the American syndicate with

with German company on basis of

have been sold for 900 crowns while
the cheapest have been sold for 40

his hip. The back of his head also
struck with considerable force and he
was momentarily dazed.
Many people witnessed the accident and
hurried TO the place where Mr.. Severance
lay. He was taken into the Golden Eagle
and a physician was called, who attended
to his injuries and pronounced them as
not dangerous. He was then removed TO
his home at GA North Market street. Late
last evening he was resting easily.
After throwing Mr.. Severance from
the buggy the frightened horse ran east
on Douglas avenue. The street was
crowded with vehicles and as the horse
without 2 driver made its run down the
avenue there was q slight collision with
another buggy and some damage done.
The runaway horse started To run up
Emporia avenue and was going so fast
al the time that it threw itself as it
went around the corner and was caught
before it could set on its feet again.

but the horse was quite badly skinned up
and the harness injured almost beyond

PLEASED WITH PROSPECTS.
Purchaser of Burton Car Works
Anxious to Get Here.

A c. Randolph. of the ~ c. Randolph
Manufacturing company, which has pur-
chased the Burton car works. was In the
city yesterday making arrangements to
move some of their machinery TO this city
from Iowa.
Mr.. Randolph said yesterday that he
was anxious TO get to work in this city
because he felt that here would be
good place for their plant. He was very
much pleased with his purchase and
thinks the Burton car works buildings
are just what they need.
When asked if he was going to try to
induce the street car company TO build
a line to the Burton plant. Mr.. Ran
dolph said it would be mighty handy
for them if the stock yards line were ex-
tended 70 Burton, but he had no idea of
asking the company 10 build there at the
present time.
He said they would employ about fifty
men for the first year but after that
good many more would be employed and
when they got TO building a town up
there he thought the street car company
would not need any coaxing to build TO
Burton. He thought the way to get the
street cars TO Burton was to get some
thing up there that would make it to the
interest Of the street car company to
extend its line to the car works.
