MAKING USE OF OLD CANS.

chiefly of empty fruit and vegetable
cans rescued by the cart load from the
dumps of the city. / had supposed, up
TO that time, that the only purposes
for which such material was suited
was food for goats or to be attached
to the tails of unfortunate CANNES.
The principal products of this estab-
lishment, which is foundry, are win
dow sash weights, elevator weights
and ballast for boats. The weight
castings are. very hard and when
struck with hammer ring like steel.
About the only tool which can be used
for removing sprues and fins is the
hammer, as a cold chisel or file will
not stand UP to the work. The frac-
ture of the round sash weights Is
smooth and shows crystals radiating
from the center like spokes of a wheel.
After delivery at the foundry the
cans are first piled into a large iron
grating. located under a sheet iron
stack. They are sprinkled literally
with crude oil, which is set on fire.
This process consumes the labels,
loosens the dirt and melts the SOLDER

MOAT HOUSE MURDER
TO BE AVENGED,
One of the Most Remarkable Crimes
in English Annals.

in English Annals.
A cable dispatch from London a day
or two ago announced that Samuel
Herbert Dougal had been found guilty
of the murder of Miss Camille C. Hol-
land, wealthy woman with whom he
lived at the Moat House, Saffron
Walden, and sentenced to death.
Samuel Herbert Dougal, the prisoner
accused of the murder of Miss Camille
Cecil Holland and unnumbered other
woman, is one of the most peculiar
criminals ever remembered in the an
nails of Scotland Yard.
Dougal is extremely sensual, con
vivial and ocular. while his willingness
to take human life and his greed for
money are unbounded. At the very
moment he was being taken to the
magistrates court, handcuffed to two
policemen, he winked his eye repeated
ly at the girls among the crowd watch
ing him.
The scene of most of Douglas crimes
is an ancient house hidden by trees and
surrounded by broad, black, stagnant
moat, and is in a remote part of Eng
land.
Dougal exercised over women a fas-
cination that was literally fatal The
most interesting of his victims was
Miss Camille Holland. For four years
her death remained a secret to the
world, and Dougal enjoyed her for
tune unmolested, while he devoted him
self to the pursuit of new victims.
Miss Holland was a singer a writer
an artist and a woman of remarka BILE
accomplishments. She was cousin
of the late w. s. Game, the well-known
English member of Parliament For
some years she had been concert sing
er of high reputation. She wrote sew

PLAYED WITH AN EDGED TOOL.
Missouri Legislator Was None Too
Honest for the Lobbyist.

From the Kansas City Star.
A Democratic politician who has at
tended every session of the Legisla-
ture for years. not exactly as a pro-
fessional lobbyist, but to keep his fin
ger on the legislative pulse so far as
certain measures are concerned, sat
in one of the committee-rooms at the
capitol the other morning. In his
hand he had a copy of the Star of
Wednesday. He had just finished
reading an article headed Poker and
the Lobby relating to an amateur
lobbyist who, in order TO be sociable.
played in two jackpots, having three
aces beaten twice by two sets of four
tens.
That article reminds me of a neat
piece of lobbying six or eight years
ago in which two poker games were
made part of it, said the politician.
''At that time a celebrated Missourian
came to the sessions regularly. In the

WHY GO TO CANADA
Douglas County Presents Better Opportu-

The present immigration of Ameri-
can farmers to what has and is being
presented to them as a coming para
disc for agricultural pursuits, namely,
the Canadian Northwest, is of vital
importance to Superior, Duluth and
this entire section of the head of the

World said.

operations of the Canadian govern
ment and the organized interests
which have and are furnishing the
money to keep up the effort TO induce
the farmers and stock men to settle

TOO far away from any local markets

into a marketable product, to be used

in big demand as "A substitute for wood
and coal.
W. II. Webb who has been investi
eating the matter for some time
spoke on the subject and illustrated
his remarks with samples of the manu-
factured article and the peat in its
natural state. There is no question
that the peat beds OF this county can
be made to pay providing the water
can be evaporated without to great
an expense.
The Douglas county beds are down
the Omaha, short distance below
Gordon, and cover an erea of several
hundred acres. But for the untimely
death of w. II. Newton, about eight
cen years ago, the beds would have
been worked before this. Mr.. New
ton was practical engineer and one of
the most intelligent men of his time
in Superior. Mr.. Newton ran across
the peat beds twenty years ago and
was struck with the novel idea of put
ting the fuel on the market and CON
verting it into cash. The usual meth.
