Many machines have been con-
structed which would work but all of
them We're impractical inasmuch as

years. in the intervals of other work.
Mr.. Farmer worked on this problem,
and ut last produced d machine which
was tested Il week ago last Sunday at
the National Blower company's plant
on ST. Paul avenue. and proved to be
a perfect success.
The great advantages of the rotary
engine are it's small size. it's economy
of space and reduction in the the
amount of fuel required to develop high
power. All of these things have been
accomplished by Mr. Farmers inven-
ton and the thirty Milwaukee men
who own the invention will soon or
ganize a company, heavily capitalized.
which will put the invention on the
market.
The best description of the engine
is to say that it is a mass of engines
the movable shaft. the engine itself
rotates on stationary shaft. The
simplicity of the machine is a strong
point in its favor, as it is composed
of only twenty-six parts. as against
200 and 800 parts in other machines

ABOLISHES .-AVORiTISM
Secretary Moody Comes to Relief OF
Naval Officers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Secretary
Of the Navy Moody has decided not to
assign to duty here. except in a few
unusual cases. naval officers who have
within late years had shore details in
the capital. This will affect Il great
many officers who have been coming
10 Washington for shore duty after
every tour of the sea service and who
regard it as their home Some of them
nave taken It for granted that all their
shore service will be spent here ana
have purchased homes
MI Moody found that most of the
officers who applied for duty at the ma :
Wy department or elsewhere in the cap
ital had been here before on the same
service, some Of them many times,
rms seemed to him to be unfair. He
mas therefore directed the bureau of
navigation to refer to him all appli-
cations of officers for duty in Washing
ton. Naval officers who have never
been on shore duty here or who have
not had Washington detail for many
years are on Mr.. Moody's eligible list
and will be given preference in giving
assignments to Washington unless
they express Il desire for a shore berth

ARE N TAKING A BIG HIT
MALVERN BROTHERS PROVING
TO BE MAIN ATTRACTION
AT CARNIVAL.
Increased Attendance at Armory Hall
Last Night-The Stands Do
Good Business.

The Malvern Brothers are proving
to be the big attraction at the mid
winter carnival and they were given
a great ovation last night by the large
crowd that filled Armory hall. This
act alone is worth many times the
price of admission to the carnival
the feats performed are without doubt
the best ever given in that line in
Walla Walla.
The entire program last night went
off in splendid shape and was greatly
enjoyed by those present. Mrs. Jennie
Houghton Edmunds was in splendid
voice and was compelled to respond to
Il most hearty encore. The musical
act of Sidney and Elmo is eliciting
much praise and it is one of the best
numbers of the evenings entertain
ment. The band music was eXcep-
rendered a beautiful cornet solo which
took the crowd by storm. He was
compelled to respond to Il very appre-
ciatiVe encore.
The fish pond and country store did
a rushing business and many useful
and valuable articles We're carried
away by the purchasers.
The display of fancy novelties in the
different booths is attracting more than
passing notice and the vendors had
all they could do last night to accom-
mOdate the customers.
A large consignment of fancy set
shells was received yesterday from
San Francisco and were displayed for
the first time last night This cOllec-
ton is the best ever seen in Walla
Walla.
The young people were out in full
force last night and there was many
confetti battles.
The bandsmen are doing we'll with
the affair and the increase in attend
dnce last night was very satisfactory.
A complete change in the program
will be made tonight and Il big attend
ance is expected.

THREW AWAY RADIUM
Sir William Ramsay Discovers That a
Big Firm of Chemists Done It.

LONDON. Dec. I'm the course of
Il lecture Sir William Ramsey today
stated he had discovered that a prOmi-
nent firm of analytical chemists and
metallurgists in London had been
throwing away radium of incalculable
value. For twenty-five years the firm
had been extracting uranium from ore,
and rejecting the by -products as vs'-.-
less.
From these very same bi-prOductS
radium could be obtained. but they
had all been removed by the public re-
fuse carts. the firm sharing the world s
ignorance of their value. Some of the
by products may possibly be recov-
cred. as they are indestructible. but
doubtless most of them We're dispersed.

burned to the ground Friday night. Mr..
Plumb sustained quite a loss as he was
expecting to move his outfit to Charles
Cheese's ranch, east OF town, in few
days, and also had large amount of
saving to do for himself. The origin of
the fire is unknown but it is supposed to
have been started by spark from the
engine. Mr.. Plumb will probably re-
place the burned machinery with a new
mill and start up again in the near fu-
ture.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Mr.. John II. Cullom, editor of the Gar
land, Texas, News, has written letter
of congratulations to the manufacturers
Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as fol
lows: sixteen years ago when our first
child was baby he was subject to croupy
spells and we would be very uneasy about
him. We began using Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it
such a reliable remedy for colds and
Group, we have never been without it in
the house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of them
with good results. One good feature OF
this remedy is that it is not disagreeable
to take and our babies really like it. An
other is that it is not dangerous, and
there is no risk from giving an overdose.

your remedy" For sale by o. r. Long.

County Funds Kept at Home.

At meeting OF the board OF county
commissioners at Kiowa Tuesday the
county treasurer was authorized to de-
post the county funds under his con-
trol with the Elbert County bank and
the Farmers Bank Of Elizabeth, on con-
dition that said banks furnish deposit
AIRY bond, which they had volunteered to
give. This will make doubly secure the
public funds, as the county will thus be
protected by two bonds, one on behalf Of
thf treasurer and one on behalf Of the
1positary banks. The banks are given
until February Is to file the bond and in
case either bank decides not to exercise
their right to accept one-half OF the
funds, the other bank may file bond COW
ering the full amount and receive the en-
tire funds.
We congratulate the board on their
wisdom, for Elbert county citizens are
certainly entitled to the use OF their own
money, and it should be kept within the
county, especially as we now have such
strong and solvent banks.
Treasurer Long has expressed himself
all the time as willing oleave the money
in Elbert county, but was waiting the
sanction Of the board Of county commits
sioners; now this being granted we are
pleased to state on behalf of the citizens
Of this county tha. the action of the
board meets with their unanimous ap-
proval.
As the depositary bonds will undoubt-
edly be executed within a short time, we
see no reason why Treasurer Long should
not make the transfer just as quickly as
the banks are ready.
The benefit to Elbert county by hav-
ing the public funds at home is just like
adding that much working cash capital
to our reserve, and il her citizens are de.
prived of the use OF this money, when
conditions are such that it could be safe
ly placed where they could secure the
use of it, they might justly feel ag-
prieyed
