SMOKE PROOF.

The feed door on this stove is guaranteed smoke
proof and does away with the escape of smoke, SCOT
and gas into the house. Side feed doors used on
other stoves discharge a cloud of gas and soot-lad-
ened smoke into the house and scatter SCOT and
ashes over the carpet when opened.
Another point: In feeding coal into a side feed
door it has to be thrown into the stove, which
usually results in scattering much of it over the
floor. With our clearly smoke proof feed door
the coal is poured into the stove even to the dust
in the bottom of the hod without a particle being
spilled on the floor.
This clean and economical stove burns the gases
which often escape into the rooms with other
stoves. The annoyance and dirt from kindling
new fires is dispensed with. as the rooms are heat
ed up for two or three hours each morning with
the fuel put in the night before and the Fire is
Never Out. sCOLE'S ORIGINAL HOT
BLAST is the cleanest stove made and wiz more
than save its cost in fuel each winter.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, December o.
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman, a
prominent organ of the western lumber
trade, announces today. that the lumber
and single manufacturers of the Pacific
coast have already under way steps looking
to an application for receivers for the

that the properties are perfectly solvent,

that the roads have forfeited their char

'All the railroads, with the exception Of

Serious Southern Pacific Situation.
HOUSTON. Tex. December 22.-At mid
night tomorrow according to present plans,
members of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen will withdraw from the service
of the Atlantic system of the Southern Pa
cifc Company. This action is a result of a
vote lust completed. and the strike will be

The differences arose last May when the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers pro-
cured from the management of the roads
an agreement that the grievances of all
engineers should be handled by that or

tive Firemen contended that as many of its
members were engineers and did not be-

latter could not properly present their
grievances. but that the firemen should
handle all matters pertaining to the men,

engineers.
The management declined to abrogate its
agreement with the engineers. contendng
that differences between the engineers and
the firemen should be settled by them.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FORT RENO, Okla. December % The
motive for the attempt to assassinate Capt
Edgar A. Macklin of the 25th United States
Infantry last night, in his home here has
not developed. At noon Capt. Macklin was
conscious and resting easily. The attending
physicians were of the opinion that he
would recover unless unforeseen complica-
tons set in.
Capt. Macklin was not allowed to talk
this morning of the shooting, but enough
has been gathered to throw much mystery
over the affair. 1t is hard to believe here
that 1t was the action of one of the negro
troopers who were discharged without honor
by order of the President on account of the
shooting up by the negro troops of the
town of Brownsville, Texas a short time
ago. The testimony of Capt Macklin who
is to undergo court-martial on account Of
the act of the soldiers, shows that he did
not put blame upon the men of his COM
pany.
Capt. Macklin was officer of the day the
night at Fort Brown when the trouble oc-
CURED. Both he and Maj Penrose are to
face trial by Court-martial.
Motive May Be Robbery.
One motive might be robbery; another
guess is that of revenge growing out of the
death Of member of Company C, Who fell
out Of the ranks during practice march
few days ago and was found the next day
dead, frozen to ueath.
Capt Macklin has made no statement but
his condition continues to improve Officers
and men who began, at once after lle
shooting a search for the man were I'M
successful in their quest. Bloodhounds are
on the trail today, ana 1t is believed there
Is a chance Of overtaking the assassin.
The shooting was between $50 and Z

naming unsettled the yardmen issued an
ultimatum to the roads stating that unless

Conference Lasted Long.
This was the situation when Grand
Master p. H. Morrisey of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen went into confer
ence with the general managers of the
eight roads involved and the grievance
committees of the several yard crews. The
conference continued until late tonight,
even after an agreement had been an
nounced This joint statement was given
out:
