BEFORE PUTTING IN GAS.
Exhaustive Test Is Made of Stoves and
Fuel Burners.

Fuel Burners.
Chanute, Kan, July 1.-THE most
exhaustive test of domestic natural
gas stoves, and lights, and fuel burn
ers, ever conducted in the west, and
probably the only one of its kind in
this field, has been quietly going on in
Chanute for month or more. The
tests are of immense Importance to
Kansas City and are being made by
the Wyandotte Gas company, of Kan
sas City, Kan, preparatory to the in
PRODUCTION of Kansas natural gas as
fuel for the big cities at the mouth of
the Kaw.
The tests are being made by Calhoun
east. They are being conducted strict
ly along scientific lines. The object is
to determine the best burners and
stoves and lights, those which give the
best light and heat with the least con-
sumption of gas.
The test of gas for domestic use and
illumination purposes is being made in
the Jackson property, on North High
land, which was rented and fixed up
expressly for the purpose. Meals are
cooked, bread is baked and the stoves
investigated put to all uses, and re-
suits are carefully noted. In the heat
ing stoves the amount of heat obtain
ed and the amount of gas consumed
is faithfully recorded. Every burner
of any Importance is being investiga-
ted, for the gas people want to know
what is the best.
The fuel tests are being conducted at
the Chanute ice plant, the ice com
pany permitting the use of their boil
ers, for the experiments.
The wyandotte company, which is
conducting the experiments, is the ar
tificiaI gas company that supplies KAN
sas City, Kan, with gas. and that re-
Gently made a deal with the Kansas
Natural Gas company by which its
mains and pipes will be used in the
distribution of natural gas.

TO EXTEND TO CHANUTE.
VIII Be the Northern Terminus of the
Gulf Line.


Chanute. Kan, July 14.-It has de-
veloped here that the ScheH Gulf pipe
line is going to extend to the Chanute
field. The original intention was to
bring the line no further north than
Bolton, in Montgomery county, where
wells have been tested the past Two
weeks. But the number of desirable
properties in the north field OF hlgh
grade oil and settled production mas
made it desirable to make the Chanute
field the northern terminal.
Among the Chanute companies that
will be in the consolidation are the
Kansas and Texas, Beach, Boss, Logan,
T,orena and others. The experts for
the line have arrived, and are now at
work testing the production. Under
the terms each we'll must be tested
three days before there is any accept
ance of the terms of the contract. The
reports of the tests are being collected
in Kansas City and will be forwarded
to Pittsburg in short time The
options of the company on all the
properties in Kansas and the terri
tories will expire August 10, and the
money will have to be paid into the
National Bank of Commerce in Kan
sas CITY on that date or the deal will
be declared off, The deal involves a
cash payment of $1,000. 600. Harry
Scott, a prominent operator, has just
returned from a trip east. He says
the proposition is regarded with great
favor there and is looked upon as
the real entering wedge in the war
with the Standard.

THEY DRINK HARD CIDER.
Emporia Getting Down to a Pretty
Hard Proposition.


Emporia, Kan, July 14.-Armed with
a search and seizure warrant. Sheriff
Hinshaw raided the billiard hall OPP
Grated by George Schaffer on lower
Commercial street and found 40 bottles
of malt mead and three kegs of hard
cider.
In the Schaffer home on Mechanic
street the officers found two gallons of
whisky and four barrels of beer. The
officers claim that the stuff found in
the ice box at the billiard hall and la
beled malt mead was really beer, and
say that Schaffer was in the habit of
carrying empty malt bottles home and
filling them with beer. Should Schaf-
fer be freed on the beer charge the Of
ficers are sure that he can be convicted
on account of the hard cider, which is
an Intoxicating liquor according to the
law, which provides that a drink which
tests over per cent alcohol is intoxi-
eating. Schaffer wants an ANALYSIS OF
lect the bottles to be tested.

CATARRH

Catarrh usually begins with cold il
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes ali become inharned
and secrete filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose IS stopped up,
the ears have ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and IS the uu-
healthy matter more thoroughly satu-
rates the blood general feeling of des-
pondeucy takes possession OF the system.

County School Superintendent
Frank K. Welles this morning receiv-
ed a circular letter from R. F. Rob-
inson, superintendent of the educa-
tional exhibit of the Lewis and Clark
fair, outlining the general plan of the
display. 1t is the object of the de-
partment, says Mr.. Robinson, to. make
a complete and thoroughly graded ex-
hibit from kindergarten to the uni
yersity. So far as practicable the ex-
hiibtion will be arranged by counties.
The county will be the unit of or
ganization for school exhibits, al
though cities and towns may make
separate displays under the special
supervision of the county. All ex-
hibits will be assembled, arranged and
labeled at some one point in the coun-
ty and from there shipped to the ex-
position grounds. Papers that best
illustrate the county plan of exhibit
will be placed in cabinets, others will
be bound at the expense of the state
commission, Continuing Mr., Robert
son says;
THE arrangement will be by sub-
jects and grades, beginning with the
lowest grade. A typewriter state
ment or outline of the work to be ex-
hibited in cabinets is essential to
correct understanding and presenta-
ton of the exhibit.
Exhibit cabinets are to be purchas-
ed by exhibitors This department
recommends that these cabinets be
kept at some convenient county To-
cation after the exposition closes and
become the center for the reception
of meritorious work which may be
supplied from time to time to the end
that the exhibit idea may be made
useful adjunct for encouraging excel
lence of pupils work.
1T is the desire of the department
that the oregon educational exhibit
shall honestly represent the real work
of the schools in the best way possi-
BILE. Local industries should form
the foundation for a large share of
language and geography work Grain
farming, stock raising fruit and veg
etable culture, become at once the
choicest of topics for written work.

Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean. You don't wait until your
body is foul before you cleanse it. %
1t is matter of surprise that many peo-
pie who are so careful to have clean bodies
make no effort to keep the blood clean.
Everyone knows that uucleanncss breeds
disease; that those who do not keep their
bodies i'll wholesome condition and who
dwell in filthy surroundings are the first to
fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan
gerous TO the individual than a foul body.
An unclean body is rather a passive than
an active hindrance to health But unclean
blood is an active threat against the very
life-it makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
1t is part of Natures plan for human
safety that in many cases where the blood
is impure or corrupt she sets sign on the
body in proof of the corrupt current that is
flowing through the veins. Scrofula with
its dishguring sores and scars, eczema with
its irritation, salt-rheum, tetter, erysipelas,
boils, pimples and other eruptions are only
the outward signs of the impurity of the
blood. But often in the earlier or simpler
stages of the blood's impurity there are no
outward signs of this condition; only dull,
languid, sluggish feelings, which are COM
monty attributed solely to the sluggishness
of the liver
OF all preparations for purifying the
blood DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry easily takes the first place. It elimin-
ates from the blood the elements which
clog and corrupt it, and which breed and
feed disease. II acts directly on the blood
making glands, increasing their activity,
and so increasing the supply Of rich, pure
blood which is the life of the body.
