A representative of an advertising
company has been in town this
week soliciting hotel and boarding
house keepers to pool their ndver-
tising TO make it more effective. The
plan is to have a large ad. inserted
in several newspapers in the larger

this section as resort. This will
be prominently displayed and viii
snumerate the different houses in
this locality. The scheme is along
the right line to secure greater

a speech in the senate indicating q
condition Of land frauds and land
stealing in the west a hundred times
more serious than the post Office
steals aud appealed to the senate
to repeal all the land acquiring laws
except the homestead act. This is
the first time that the subject has
been brought up for consideration
on the floor Of either house and it
is expected that it will be given a

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
md seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
,tarvation, not because of lack
# food, but because the food
Ices not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
nd gives the child growing

Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

New Rotary viii Develop Speed Of
$40 Miles an Hour.
The New York Herald recently con.
tanned an account of the perfecting of
the HOFFMAN rotary engine which, 1t il
claimed, will revolutionize the use Of
steam. william Il. Hoffman, Of Buff
falo, the inventor Of the new engine,
has been at work on the problem for
more than thirty years, and 1t ID said
emissaries from the Russian govern
ment have been trying to induce him
to part with the exclusive rights to the
invention.
The story Of Hoffman's struggles in
his battles with science are detailed
infinitely. Before he succeeded in Sc.
curing the perfected 3OO-horse power
rotary he Is said to have constructed
nine complete engines and to have ex-
pended more than $4,000. Some of
the money was provided by a Wall
street firm which afterward was swept
away in q financial panic.
Tho secret Of the invention Is said
to be the revolution Of the cyclinder
outside of the piston instead Of revolv.
ing tile piston inside the cylinder. Here
are some Of the startling things claim.
ed for the new engine:
1t possesses one.seventh of ,the fric.
ton of the ordinary type Of engine.
There is practically no limit to the
speed.
Two thousand revolutions per min.
ute are easily accomplished.
There is no vibration whatever un.
der excessive rates Of speed.
Engine compounds twice as well as
the ordinary engine.
Floor space required for stationary
engines is reduced by two.,hirds.
Consumption of fuel Is reduced one.
third
First cost of the dynamo Is reduced
30 per cent.
Engine requires only slight founda.
tions, and, possessing no vibration.
could be placed safely on the top floor
Of high buildings.
Can be dropped instantly from 100.
horse power load to oHe-half horse
power.
Will reduce the time Of freight and
passenger transports ton by land and
sea by one-half.
Solves the suburban traffic problem
by the rapid propulsion Of a single
car.
The first perfected rotary construct
ed was for only % horse power. but
1t developed % in operation and was
used by the inventor to run his shop,
BY means Of 1t he found the astound.
ing results detailed could be attained
