USE OF CORN AS FUEL.
Has Been Burned for Many Years In
Western Farming Districts. =.

nine months in the United States.
with coal prices at abnormal figures,
as q result Of the anthracite miners
strike last year. Peat and briquetted
sawdust, wood, oil and many other
substances have been under consid-
Grafton, and among them also corn,
this last particularly having been
spoken of as. something quite. new,
though, as matter Of fact, corn has
for a long time been used as fuel
in. the farming districts Of the West
ern sections. OF the United States,
and that, too, with very satisfactory
In a general way it was recognized
there that when corn was abundant
and cheap and coal was expensive,
the former made cheaper fuel than
the latter, although no scientific de'
termination Of, their relative az ell
cheney had been made until a short
time ago; wnen tests were made by
the Department Of Agriculture OF the
University of Nebraska. These show

ing the heat that could be obtained
from the stalk. Since ton Of good
coal will give up from about 100000
600 to 26,OO0,ooo units an acre OF
ground in each year. capable Of pro:
ducing fuel which Is equal to from
o.s7 or 1.2S to LA or 2.56 tons OF
coal. The stalk will probably in
crease this amount by one-fourth or
one-third. ....,;
The experience gained from boiler
tests with corn fuel made it appear
doubtful whether corn would be prac-
ticable fuel for the generation OF
power. unless it were burned In some
special furnace that would insure the
perfect combustion Of the volatile
matter which forms so large a per-
centage Of the whole corn, and which
is driven of at a comparatively low
heat. Some form of automatic stoker
would also be desirable. since ,lthe
corn burns rapidly and must be ire
auetly fred, making the work OF the
fireman very arduous, and at the
same time tending to cause incom-
plete combustion by the excess OF
cold air entering through the hre
door. Undoubtedly, corn may, at
times, be-, cheap and economical
fuel for domestic use. It Is cleaner
and more easily handled than .coa',
anidiseontains but very small amount
of ash. It burns rapidly with an IN
tense heat, and this is apt to be dc.
struetive to the cast iron Innings OF
Etbe e stove. Here, again, therefore,
soma special form Of firebox, that will
not Be injured by the heat, and that
willsutilize as much OF the heat as
possible, should be used.-Cassiers

didn't discourage me. The general

A man who couldn't learn the busi-

SHOT IN BACK OF HEAD

Charles Venters, young coiored man,
generally known as &C. V" was shot in
the back of the head with 32-calibre
revolver yesterday afternoon IN the.
kitchen Of the Carey hotel. and it seems
almost a miracle that he escaped instant
death. TWO colored men, named Fred
and Frank Able, went into the kitchen
where &C V" was working and the
three got into an alteration. These who
heard the talk say that the lie was passed
and almost instantly the shot was fired.
&C. V" had razor but it is claimed the
other two had guns. but it is not known
which ore did the shooting. only one
shot was fired and the two negroes i'm
mediately ran out Of the house and es-
capped before an officer could reach the
scene.
C. V" stated to the police yesterday
that when the fight began he drew his
razor as the others drew guns and the
moment he saw what he was up against.

feet from &C. VS. head when the shot
was fired. The gun was large enough
TO have forced the bullet through the
skull fifteen feet away. but the bullet
must have struck in such a manner that
the force OF the ball was not exerted
directly against the bone. The froce Of
the ball did not knock the main down.

ARE CIRCULATING PETITIONS.
Clark Does Net Want Brothers Muir
oerer Pardoned.

A man named Mckinney. who was SEN
fenced from this county in lSS6 to the
state penitentiary for a term Of forty
years. on a charge of murder. is the CEN
trail figure OF TWO petitions which are
being circulated in this city and over the
county.
Mckinney was found guilty Of the muir
der OF one Munroe clark. who was killed
in 1855 near bridge west Of Valley Gen.
ger, and was sentenced 10 3 term Of
.forty years in the penitentiary. About
seven years ago his mind failed, sup
posedly because OF the crime, and his
confinement. and SIZE that time his
friends have been putting forth an ef-
fort 10 have him pardoned. They do not
doubt his guilt. but because OF his men
tai condition and the fact that he is
very feeble. with slim chances OF living
long. they wish TO have him die without
a penitentiary sentence hanging over
him. His friends have met vita some
encoura cement. but a cross petition y
now being circulated by "a brother of the
murdered man and friends who do not
wish TO have the convicted man pardoned-
They hold that he was found guilty and
that as he i insane and would be a men
ace 10 the community II he should re
turn. il would be necessary 10 cOnane
him in an asylum and his condition would
Be no different from the present one.
A large number Of Wichita people signed
the latter petition yesterday and II IS
