Result Of the Autopsy.

The New York Tribune of today says:
To the complete establishment of every
one connected with the case. the autopsy
on the body Of Colonel William Best, held
at Caldwell yesterday, to ascertain whether
poison had caused death. showed that the
body had been opened previously and the
abdominal organs removed. the cavity be-
ing filled with sawdust. Coincident with
this discovery came the announcement from
District Attorney Boyd of San Rafael. CAL,
where Colonel Best died. that he had con-
elusive evidence of foul play in the coloners
death. Warrants have been issued charg
ing grand larceny against DR." John d.
Woods and Alice Woods. at whose house
Colonel Best died
When the county physician and his as
sistants who performed the autopsy at
Caldwell. N. j.. yesterday. laid the body on
the operating table, row of neat stitches
was seen. extending down the middle of
the abdomen. To the physicians. and even
to Alfred and Sumner Best. the colonels
sons this was an absolute surprise, for in
the letters received from California at the
time Of Colonel Bests death nothing of this
nature had ever been mentioned. AS Dr.
Mckenzie made the missions he said that 1t
was Of no use. that the organs he should
need would be missing, and so 1t proved.
AS to who had done this there is no in
formation. although one Of the physicians
said that an undertaken would have no
reason to make an inctsi0n into a body to
embalm 1t. The work had been done neat
ly, but although the vital organs had been
removed the fntestines were in place. The
embalming of the body had been done from
the inside of the incision. instead of from
the outside Of the body, as is usual show
ing. in the opinion of physicians, that the
body had been sent to the undertaken in
that condition.
The mass Of sawdust which filed the cav
ity was carefully sifted revealing some of
the viscera. which. with parts of the intes-
tines and the sawdust itself. will be ana
lyzed by Mr.. Baldwin.
The result of this analysis will be sent
to the California authorities at the earliest
possible date. This autopsy. in fact. was
held at their request. and was q part Of
their case.
Colonel Best died at the homo Of 'Dr."
Woods in San Rafael. on April g. DR.. w.
F. Jones. who had attended him from April
l. when he was taken i'll. until April 4,
but had administered no treatment, acting
only in consultation with DR." Woods, is
sued burial permit. giving the cause Of
death as cerebral hemorrhage. The body
was taken to the morgue. but. according to
adv1ces, no autopsy was performed there.
After being held q few days. the body was
shipped east for burial. When 1t reached
Caldwell. 1t was in a metallic CONN with
glass top. =. r. Cook. a Caldwell under
taker. closed the coffin. but did not disturb
the body. which. he understood, had been
embalmed.

surface Of the baker and sufficient fat will

from sticking; put no lard, butter or other

shortening of any kind into corn meal
dough, or even into -four dough before bak-
ing, is a very serious mistake from a n.y.
gienic standpoint, for the reason that the
fat combines with the albumen OF the -four

New Way to Burn Oil.

r
The consumption of liquid fuel without
the use of the steam jet is accomplished by
the experimenting engineer Of Dutch
steamship line in the East Indies. The Oil
is forced into the furnace by means Of
donkey pump. the Oil coming from stor-
age tank through a small heater, where 1t
is warmed by the exhaust from the pump,
the exhaust then going to the ships con-
densers, as the apparatus was designed es-
pecially to save the water which would be
required by the jet. The Oil is discharged
by the pump through another heater, where
1t reaches q temperature of 200 degrees
Fahrenheit. The front end of the furnace
is closed with a cap of steel. and an an
nular space around this is formed into the
furnace, with spiral air guides to cause the
inhowing air to take up considerable heat
before entering the interior. Part of the
air is allowed to ignite with the Oil as it
sprays from the injector, but the bulk Of
the combustion is completed further on.
No air blast Is used.

COMMONER FOR 1908.
William J. Bryan's Paper and the Semi.Weekly
HERALD.

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and in
structive during the present session Of

will probably determine the issues upon
witch the hext presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commorer propos es
to carry on a campaign of education and
organization to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention, The Commoner contains
a Current Topic department, wherein a
nom partisan discussion of topics OF
timely interest and other valuable lnfor-
nation will be found. The Home
Department is conducted by an expert
enced woman who is widely known as a
writer OF household topics and who is an
authority on the art OF cooking in al
that the term implies. This department
alone is worth the subscription
price The other departments Ct the

Quoted, among which is summary Of
the worlds news told in narrative style,
and Maupin's OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Common or Not-contains original anec-
dotes and wit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appeals to old and
young alike.
The Commoner as whole is clean,
entertaing and instructive, and its rapid
