HAS AN UNCLE IN GOODLAND.
E. o. Cochran OF Denver, Inventor OF
Compressed Air Motor.

The CIariOn-AdvOcate a weekly pa
per published in Denver. contains an
editorial article and also an elaborate
description Of the new invention Of
E o. Cochran OF Denver. It is called
the Cochran Compressed Air Power
Motor, and from all indications the
invention is destined to become OF
great utility, and is next door neigh
Dor" to perpetual motion
Mr.. Cochran, the inventor, is a
nephew Of our tOwnsman, Jim" COch-
ran, and also Of ". S. Cochran, who
lives northwest Of GOOdland- The
spirit Of genius and invention is not
confined to any class Of people It
frequently springs up where least ex-
pected. and the COchrans Of Sherman
county have a just feeling Of pride
that out OF their family line has ap-
peared an inventor, the product Of
whose genius may work a revolution
in our industrial life
The invention, briefly described, is
a collection OF wheels with which
weights are 50 adjusted as to secure,
from the application Of compressed
air and other mechanical appliances
as near an approach TO the principle
Of perpetual motion as seems ever to
be possible to achieve in mechanics.
An air tank, an air compressor, and
a shaft carrying three wheels are the
constituents.
When the tank is filed the turning
Of a valve permits pressure Of air into
the hub Of the first, or left, wheel,
whose six spokes-acting as slides
carry one weight each, and all Of
which weights are hollow Oike the
hubs OF all the wheels) and equipped
inside with cylinders similar to those
OF steam engines. These weights, in
turn, contain telescOping pistOns for
sliding by air pressure OF the weights
on the spokes to and from the wheels
rims. These actions resemble, from
the exterior, the motion Of the piston
rod in the steam engine The forward
and backward movements are initial
ed when the ports in the hubs pass, on
their rounds, certain valves charged
with air, which is thus automatically
admitted into the hubs from the
tank.
Exhaust air from the hub OF the
first wheel passes into a lOw-pressure
tank and thence into the hub Of the
second wheel, and the exhaust from
the second wheel is into a lower pres
sure tank, from which it is again util-
lied in supplying the third wheel
What is then left Of the air is exhaust
ed into a vaucum tank, from which it
is conveyed into the compressor for
further utilization without material
tax on the motive power.
EditOrially, the ClariOn-AdvOcate
says:
ct is a power also which can be
developed at a nominal cost. If sue
cessful it viii do away with mining for
steam, coal, electric, steam, gas, gaso-
line and other agencies now used in
developing this power and Will pro-
duce an effect upon the industries Of
the world which is impossible for an
Imagination to conceive Production
will be immensely cheapened- Many
present forms Of capital viii melt into
thinnest air. Much OF the machinery
Of the world will become obsolete and
the industrial world viii be brought
within one decade to a pitch Of deyel-
opment, which, under normal cOndi-
tons, would require a thousand
wears"

THE NEW CITY STAND PIPE
THE FINEST STRUCTURE OF TIE
KIND IN THE WEST.
Completed Saturfay-Welghs About
IS Tons, Capacity 211, 400 Cal
IOns-COst $500.

The new city standpipe was COM
pleted Saturday. 1t is unquestionably
the finest structure OF the kind in the
west The foundation is the brOadest
and the iron and riveting the heaviest
Of structures Of its size. The city may
well be proud OF its new waterwOrks
system.
The standpipe cost, exclusive Of the
foundation $500. It is 20 feet in
diameter by 90 feet in height, with a
capacity Of 211,40O gallons or 6.711
barrels.
The steel alone weighs about s5
tons. There are six sheets in each
section, HIS sections, i've feet in
height, a4om the bottom to the top.
Above this is an ornamental crest, 20
inches in height The foundation cost
approximately $4,000, making the
whole structure worth $500.
The foundation is Of solid concrete
80 feet in diameter, and about u feet
thick Outside Of the foundation is
a layer Of concrete Is inches thick
by five feet wide, intended as an
apron, both TO shed of the spill" and
as a fOOt-brace for the foundation.
The outflow and inflow pipes are
10 inches in diameter. The pipes from
the pumps and to the main are each
six inches in diameter. All these pipes
are housed in q concrete cellar near
the base of the standpipe, and each
controlled by a gate corresponding TO
calibre and Of the latest pattern
The city voted $40. 900 bonds for the
new water works, but the entire cost
of the improvements viii exceed this
amount by about $4,000. There need
be no alarm about this, as the city
warrants are good for their face. and
takers are eager. The large amount
Of building recently going on adds to
the revenue Of the city, both by in
creased taxation and water rent in
come.
Strangers coming here are much in
terested and speak in admiring terms
Of the enterprise shown in the con-
structiOn OF the standpipe and water
supply system Of our growing town
Palmer & Gilbert, Of the Kaw Boiler
works Of Kansas City, Kan, put up
the standpipe on contract, being the
lowest and best bidders. They declare
that they made no money, but lost
from 500 to $1,000 on the job. the
specifications being so exacting, and
the material and riveting SO heavy
and thorough that their bid was st
least $1,000 too low. They also state
that il is the best standpipe Of its size
in Kansas.

MCGEE ExoNERATED.
Jury said Young Man Was Not Guilty
Of Stealing.

Harry MCGEE, who was employed
here as a freight house employee, Ieav-
ing here about a year ago, and who
was summoned to GoOdIand to an
swer to a charge OF petit larceny last
Thursday, was acquitted by the jury,
which was out but a few minutes. The
Rock Island detectives didn't make a
case, and there was an almost total
lack OF evidence The jury was com
posed Of Q. z. McCaslin, J. ". Tfbbels,
W. y. Rowe, E ThOrsOn, William
Hargraves and VIII HogeboOm-
MCGEE was charged in particular
with taking a tabby OF chewing tob-
accO on December 25 last With re-
ference to this item, he disclaimed
taking il, and said that when the
freight was worked over here that day
he remembered that in the freight to
be shipped to Edison there was a
tabby missing. which should have
been among the freight for the John
HestOn store The next day, a tabby
came in, but had no address on II
whatever, and he suppOsing that it be-
lOnged to the Edison store, billed it to
that place, and that was the end Of
his transaction in the matter.
MCGEE felt very much depressed
over the charge. He is a young man,
and has q good many friends in Good
land, who were glad to hear that he
was exonerated- He is employed by
the Rock Island under the station
agent at Caldwell, Kan

opera house Wednesday evening to a
fair sized audience Rev. 1Iaher is a
pleasing speaker, has the natural
qualifications Of an orator, and with
all, is man whom TO meet is but to

He handled his subject in a master
" manner, and threw strong light on
the significance OF ancient knighthOod,
and the purpose and results OF the
'CrUsades" OF the medieval ages. 1t
was really like taking a course in lit
eratUre and history to ali. and refresh
ed the memories OF those familiar
with the subject. He made a strong
hit on the prOvidentiaI outcome OF
that conflict known as the crusades,
and lasting three hundred years
On modern knighthOOd he was
fOrcible, almost encyclopedia, showing
how there is a scope for herOism, hon
or and loyalty in the ordinary callings
Of life The editor. the preacher, the
teacher, the doctor, lawyer, scientist,
refOrmer, statesman, merchant and

GEORGE KELLY, 9mLLIONARE?
Dollars on Peavines in Nevada Where
He Has Land

Only a few men in this world are
lucky enough to find dollars rolling
up hill or on bushes. But it seems
probable that GoOdland some day
through its adventurous citizens, may
be the home Of a millionaire But
that would be good fortune only upon
condition that the short grass town
should take the elevation mildly, else
too much swelling might produce an
explosion, leaving, like the toad who
desired to be as big as an OK, only two
flaps Of skin Now Mayor Kelly thinks
he has found a peavine that has new
er-ending dollars on it It bids fair
TO be a land Of pure delight financial
", not from the growing Of peas but
from what lies under the peas
simply gold dust"
Here is the story Of possible wealth,
told by the Nevada State Journal
published at Reno, New, date OF De-
cember s:
The Peavine district is experience
ing a degree Of activity unknown for
many years. owing very probably TO
the fact that the exploitation work
which has recently been advanced was
Of so gratifying a nature that it has
greatly stimulated the mining indus
try in that section. A number Of pro-
RCLAAES are AOOhAAA6 EE--AeAAg ~ EA4 II NAAA

ing the Bennington and Change Of
Luck
''On the Bennington there is cross
cut which has been advanced 80 feet
and ii viii be necessary to drive Is or
or 20 feet further before cross cutting
the lead This lead has already been
opened up in three places, and is dis
closed from p to a inches wide and
shows values Of $3.50 in gold, silver
and copper. A general average Of the
lead indicates values Of $32.70 per
ton
The Change Of Luck was formerly
owned by Dr.. Redman, who shipped
several carloads Of ore a number Of
years ago. An old incline follows the
TeIu 40 feet and opens up over two
feet Of ore in the bottom

The growing spirit Of resentment
against the men who have for so

tuated at Buffalo, where, on Saturday
night, the Yale Alumni association,
comprising hundreds OF representa-

New York, formally repudiated De-
pew, and urged that Secretary Of War
William H. Taft be installed in his
chair as a Yale corporation trustee

selves are getting ready to unload the
