Shepherd Of Canton, who in a recent
sermon charged, the heads Of state edu-

practices, on the hearsay statements Of
others, in no case naming my one, will
be given an opportunity to tell what he
knows.
Governor Herreid has addressed a
letter to Rev. Mr.. Shepherd, asking him
as a good citizen of the state to show
his authority for the statements, 50 far
as they were made specifically, that the
matter may be brought before the
proper authorities for action, the case
being especially called to his attention
in which he stated that a travelling man
Of his acquaintance had gambled with
the head officer of n Of the state in
stitutions on Saturday night and was
surprised to see the same MAJ occupy

next day.
This is a charge which can easily be
proved If there is anything to 1t, and

the proposition of naming the man or
admitting that he did not know What he

Confession About Boodling.
st. Louis, May 19.--Another sensa
tional chapter has been added to tn
exposure of corruption in the Missou1

ex-State Senator Charles r. Busche o

A Valuable Confession.
This in substance is a part Of Mr.
Busche's written statement made tc
Mr.. Folk. He has corroborated much
Of the confession made by former Sen

boodling senator's he has rendered 8
valuable service to the prosecuting Of

Busche's confession exceeds that OF
Schweickardt in the extent to which he
goes in revealing the workings of the
corruptionists who have figured in
legislation during the last five years

he attended, but went back to the be-

Busche was first elected to the state

district Of st. Louis and served three
terms, a feat equaled by few members.
He was always regarded as honest,

alcohol. n the SCOT Is retained by the
coke, while the altered gases, mixed
with vapor from the naphtha or alco-
hol. are collected in a gasometer, to be
ted to Welsbach burners, stoves or
gas engines. This gaseous mixture,
which has been named pyrogas. burns
with a bright flame Inc an entire abb
ssence Of smoke. The value Of pyrogas
even makes it profitable to burn fuel
Of low grade for Its smoke alone, and
ut Is computed that plants OF small cost

income from the conversion Of their,
garbage into purified smoke for light
and power. Large factories and small
establishments In Belgium are making
experiments both in saving and in8pro-,
