POWER IN DEAD LEAVES.

duced to Gas, Will Run Motors.

These and Kindred Materials, Re-
duced to Gas, Will Run Motors.
The use Of dead leaves, straw or hay
as source Of power Is the latest con-
tribution to practical science made by
French experimenters. Henri de Par
Vile. writing IN the Journal des De
bats, Paris, vouches for the truth Of
this announcement. The experiments
are being carried on by NJ s. Bor-
denase, who has found IT possible to
produce enough gas by the combustion
Of vegetable matter to run a small but
serviceable motor. The different ma
terIals used were straw, leaves, hay,
etc, compressed into bales.
M. de Parville says the following
results were obtained In practice:
with hay II was found that one horse
power could be obtained by using a
little over two pounds OF c0mbustible,
which. being valued at 10 francs per
ton, made the cost OF each single horse
power "a francs. With the labor and
other accessories the cost Of the horse
power was raised to 056 francs for
each horsepower for one hour. II the
average quality Of hay at cost of
30 francs per ton be used the horse
power for one hour costs 076 francs.
wheat and oat straw may be used
to greater advantage. Here the power
Il obtained with a little over two
pounds Of material. The value Of the
straw being estimated at % francs per
ton, the cost OF the horsepower is .O63
francs. With oat straw the horsepow-
or costs .057 francs. The experiments
with leaves gave a horsepower at a
cost Of .043 francs, while the power
was obtained with a mixture Of saw
dust and shavings at cost OF .05
francs. " 20 ether ether ::s.e:.:! the re-
suits were In every way satisfactory
from both an industrial and financial
standpoint"
1t is claimed by the experimental
that the new process will be particular
iy useful to farmers who are In need of
small motors and have great quantities
OF refuse vegetable matter from which
TO obtain the power.-TraHslation in

BY THE USE OF MONEY
JOHN c. DRIscoLL SETTLED OVER
-FOUR HUNDRED STRIKES
IN TWO YEARS.

Former Secretary Of the Associated
Teaming interests Of Chicago De-
eIsres He Will Co Before the Grand
Jury and Give Sensational Evidence
Regarding Money Paid to Various
Labor Leaders TO Settle Disputes.
Chicago, June 13.--John c. Driscoll
former secretary of the associated
teaming interests of Chicago, an
nounced during the day that he would
go before the grand jury and give tes-
timony supported by documentary evil
dence to show that in two years, while
holding the Office of secretary of the
associated teaming interests, he set
tied more than 400 strikes by the use
of money with labor officials. These
strikes, Mr.. Driscoll asserts, affected
almost every branch OF industry in
Chicago. He takes the position that
he acted merely in tie capacity of an
expert who was in a position to bring
about the result that the employers
who were involved in labor troubles
sought, namely. peaceable adjust
ment.
Driscoll declares the method used
by him was this: An employer, or
an organization of employers, affected
by strike or likely to be, would call
and ask him to use his influence to
bring about an adjustment of the diff
ficulty. The fees, according to Dris-
coll, paid the union men ranged from
500 to thousands of dollars, the ag-
gregate being estimated by him at
$4,000. Driscoii declares ne neverJe-
ceived dollar of this money for his
efforts In averting trouble, except
from the organizations of which he
was acting as secretary.

0 $4,000 For Cedar.

In talk with Republican reporter
a few days ago W. II. johnson, who is
buying cedar in this country for the
American Pencil Co., says that he and
Mr.. Eastin. his partner, have purchased
about $4,000 worth Of the timber in
this county, and that they still have
several months work TO do. As the only
wood available for this purpose is the
large trees this leaves all OF the post
timber, which will amount TO quite as
much more. This speaks well for this
one Of Taney's natural resources. Mr..
johnson said that the expense OF get
ting the cedar to the railroad would DO
about three times as much as the ori.
ginal cost, making it stand the pencil
company in the neighborhood ofs200, 900.

The morning Of August lG, 1862, was
hot-dry, on the streets OF Lone Jack,
jackson county, Missouri.
The road leading thereto in dust lay
deep and heavy, made so by multitudes
Of uneasy, hurrying feet.
Only the night before strong dc.
tachment Of Federals had entered Lone
Jack and camped on the square.
The country was full OF Confederatos.
They were recruiting in Sni hills, and
large bodies had collected at several
points few miles away. They were
armed with hunting rides and such
weapons rs are common ~ hunters and
farmers. Every man was dead shot
and bad cracked the skull Of many a
squirrel In the tops OF the tallest hick-
orles that grew In the bottoms.
At2 o'clock on the morning OF the
10th they started for Lone Jack.
The country Immediately around the
village was full Of tall corn and rank
weeds.
The men in gray arrived within
shooting distance undiscovered.
While the unsuspecting Federal SOL
diers we're preparing breakfast they
were thrown into CONSERVATION by II
deadly volly from The ConfederiItos.
The slaughter was terrible.
The boys in gray, hidden from sight,
could pick blue coats of like rabbits.
Men we're shot of the cavalry horses
as fast as they could climb on.
The Federal artillery added its deep
roar 70 tho rattle OF muskctry-but all
In vain.
The battle ragged with great fury for
several hours, and the losses were ter
rible.
Perhaps $50 men were killed apd
several hundred wounded.

Joe billiard Killed at Crane,

Joe billiard, son OF Ben billiard OF
Aurora, was shot and killed by James
Subley at Crane Monday afternoon,
II seems that Subley had been working
on the dirt train at the Elsey cut and
was discharged by Conductor Massey.
From the best information obtainable
Subley, billiard and others had been
drinking pretty freely AT the saloon
opened at Crane about two weeks ago,
afA1 when the dirt train came to the
depot Subley raised a quarrel with
Massey, the conductor, and drew re-.
volver and fired, intending to shoot
Massey, but the ball entered the breast
OF billiard, who is timekeeper for the
railroad force at Crane, inlicting n
wound from which he died a few hours
later at his home In Aurora.
A large number Of people witnessed
the affair and an effort was made TO ar
rest Subley but he escaped. Later he
returned TO Crane and remained some
time, but left again without being ar.
rested. Sheriff Moore is using every
effort TO find Subley.
We understand this Is the first killing
that has occurred at Crane, and it is a
strange coincidence, to say the least,
that 1t should take place within few
days after the opening OF 3 licensed sa-
loon, at which 1t Is said that the man
who fired the fatal shot had heen drink
ing heavily during the day. Should
Subley be arrested and brought TO trial
IL will probably cost Stone county, di.
rectly and indirectly, more than it re-
Gel ved for the saloon license at Crane.

BY 10 o'clock in the forenoon both
sides were willing to quit.
The Federals seemed TO have gotten
the worst of it, for they sounded the
retreat aud drew of toward Lexington.
The southern victory had beer dearly
bought however, and they did not make
more than mere show Of pursuit.
The bodies OF the dead looked more
like black men than whites, SO black.
eued were they with dust and powder
smoke.
Considering the comparatively small
number OF men engaged, this was per-
haps the most desperate and deadly
conflict OF the civil war,-Richmond
