send the Rate bill back to Conference
On Monday the majority of the com
mittee on privileges and elections OF the
United States Senate reported to that
BODY in favor of depriving Senator
Reed smoot. of Utah, of his seat. The
report was signed by Senators Burrows
Dolliyer, Dubois, Pettus, Bailey, Over
man and Frazier. In brief, it found
+hat Senator Smoot had forfeited his
right to sit in the Senate because ne mao
taken the endowment oatn to avenge
the blood of the Mormon prophets on
the Nation and because as member OF
the hierarchy of the church he was re-
sponsible for its action in sanctionine
polygamy.
The minority report declared that
Smoot is entitled to his seat, that the
testimony as to his having taken tine
endowment oath was given by Wit,
nesses of bad character and that he was
not shown to have been polygamis'
himself or to have sanctioned the viola
tion OF the Federal law against it. Thf

Denaturized Alcohol.

The recent passage by Congress OF the
bill to remove the tax on alcohol for
technical uses, is expected to prove OF
enormous value to almost all the IN
dustries of the country. To render un-
fit for drinking or other purposes al
cohol which is intended for commercial
or industrial utilization, the liquid must
be ''denaturized' by the addition or Varl-
ous substances which make 1t Impossible
of consumption in beverages. .,
For most industrial purposes alconol
is used in Germany free, after having
been ''densturized" or rendered unht
for drinking purposes by admlXture' IN
nresence of a government official, with
n prescribed percentage or proportion
of one or more of several different
substances prescribed in the very
elaborate statute which governs the
complicated subject in Germany
There are two general classes or degrees
of denaturization, viz the complete
and the incomplete. " according to the
purposes for which the alcohol so de-
natur1zed is to be ultimately used; :,
Complete denaturization of alconoi
bv the German system is accomplished
by the addition to every 100 llters (Zoz
gallons) Of spirits. (a) Two and one halt
liters of the standard denaturlZer'
made of parts of wood alcohol, part
of pyridin Ia nitrogenuous base obtained
by distilling bone oil or coal tar, with
the addition to each liter of 90 grammes
of oil of lavender or rosemary; (b) one
and one-fourtb liters of the above
STANDARD" and liters of benzol, with
every 100 liters of alcohol.
Alcohol to be used in the manufacture
of ethers. aldehyde. agarcin, white lead
| silver bromide gelatins, Photographic

Fatal III res.

Towards midnight of last Thursday
night the fire alarm was sounded. and
persons residing in the northwestern
part of town, and who looked from their
upper windows, saw a house on the
plank road hill completely enveloped in
fiames-a vast torch-and the thought
occurred that home SO completely and
suddenly enveloped in flames might be
the funeral pyre of some or all of the
members Of that family.
And so it was. Gas escaping from q
E5se connection completely filed the
room on the first floor occupied by Miss
Katharine Kreitzer, the Oldest daugh-
ter Of Andrew Kreitzer, and probably
made her unconscious; then it ignited
from light left burning low; and the
explosion that followed blew out the
side of the room and set fire to the
whole lower story Of the house,. the
members Of which, sleeping upstairs
escaped through the windows, but Miss
Katherine, yet in her bed. slept the
sleep that knows no waking.
Part of her charred body was found
on the bed springs after the fire burned
out.
The fire companies, by heroic effort.

ing to the adjoining houses The First
Wards were first near the scene, and
connected with tho plug at the Hospi-
tai; then the Campbells came along
and attached to their hose. making a
line long enough to extend to the mar
row passageway between the Kreitzer
house and the next building. with a
weak stream of water, but sufficient to
do good. though to the firemen, danger
ous work.
The family escaped in their night
clothing, lost everything, and were pre-
vided for by their neighbors. This is
the second house Mr.. Kreitzer has lost
by fire.
Early next morning house on same
hill, and but few hundred feet dis
tant was destroyed in almost the same
manner. A rubber hose in Alonzo
Hutchens' kitchen. exploded during the
night, and the room filled up with gas.
When Mr.. Hutchens entered the kifch-
en- in the morning he smelled the gas,
but did not close the door behind him,
and while he was turning off the gas in
the kitchen, it reached the light in the
dining room, and the explosion wrecked
the house, set it on fire, and SO badly
burned Mr.. Hutchens that he was TAX
en- to the Hospital.

John Negley, deceased in 1870, was the
first miller in this Cunningham mill.
He too had knowledge of milling.
Just how or where he and the Cunning
hams first met-and became acquainted
we never exactly learned, but we have
reason for believing that he came
here about the same time they did.
They and he became very close friends
and he continued their miller until
February, 1907, when he purchased OF
Samuel the mill and all remaining OF
their tract of land and thus became
their successor in business and prop
erty. John Cunningham having died,
1905. as we have stated, Samuel be
came discouraged at his loss and con
cluded to go back to his home in the
eastern part of the State.

QUEsTIoN-If a railroad official ol
clerk accepts gift of stock with an un
mentioned outlook toward the supply
of cars, or commission" of so many
cents per ton on sales of coal to the rail
road. Who really pays it? On the face
of the transaction the coal producing
and shipping company pays it, and
some courts might decline to go deeper
than the surface But in view of obvi-
GUS ground for belief that the donor did
not make the gifts for love the next
view, for which there is strong ground.
is that it was done at the cost of the
shareholders. 1t is possible to go deeper
yet and assert that the cost of these
levies came out of the shippers, who
could not get cars or square deal on
contracts. and ultimately out of the
consumers, who pay in the end not
only for artificial restraints on coal pro-
duction. but for the increased cost Of
fuel ID the railroad.

Time for New Regime.

IL is not surprising that many OF the
Republican newspapers Of the state are
condemning the methods which were
used in nominating Republican govern
or. They should be condemned by the
true Republicans of this commonwealth
OF course the ticket will be condemned
by the Democrats. but this criticism
means little, as any kind ola ticket, by
whatever method, would have been
criticised, The Democrats are looking
out for their interest, and their boss,
Col. Guffey, will slate their nominee for
them. And they will pipe to his fiddle
Ms they have always done.
But the Republicans of this state have
vet before them a contest within the
party. 1t will be contest for the
elimination Of those methods and those
tactics which made possible the nomi-
nation Of Stuart Few of the delegates
to the Harrisburg convention knew any
thing Of this candidate until two days
before the convention. They had been
promised an open convention and a
square DEAL They did not expect that
the Philadelphia machine would have
the nerve to use the party machinery of
the state to rehabilitate itself. Yet this
combination made up Of malodorous
factional leaders, discredited in Phila-
delphia. named the ticket which was
forced on the Republicans of the state.
There were enough delegates under
the control OF Penrose and responsible
to~him or their leaders for political ex.
istence and their jobs to 60 along. AL
credit should be given to those Repub
licans Of the state who refused to wear
the Penrose collar, and showed their in
dependence and who expect to remain
in the party to make possible the defeat
Of such methods and such outrages in
the future.
The Republicans Of the state have an
important duty to perform and we are
not 50 sure but they will perform it.
And let the consequences which will
come to those leaders who disregarded
the rights of others. be what they may.
1t is time for a new regime-a new
leadership. Washington Observer.

SWEET MELODY FLOUR
LEGEND OF THE TOPAZ.

why the Jewel Il called the Stone
of Gratitude.
The topaz is called the stone OF graft
rude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend. from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodoslus used
to hang n brazen gong before his pal
ace gates and sit beside it on certain
days, hearing and putting to rights the
grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his ndvice and
help had but to sound the gong, and
Immediately admission into the pres
ence Of Caesar was obtained. One day
a great snake crept up to the gate and
struck the brazen gong with her coils,
and Theodosius gave orders that no one
should modest the creature and babe
her tell him of her wish.
The snake bent her crest lowly In
homage and straightway told the fol-
lowing tale:
Her nest was at the base of the gate
way tower. and while che had gone to
find food for her young brood strange
beast, covered with sharp needles. had
invaded her home. killed the nestlinGs
and now held possession OF the little
dwelling. Would Caesar grant her jus
tice?
The emperor gave orders for the por-
cupfne to be slain and the mother to be
restored to her desolate nest Night
fell. and the sleeping world had for
gotten the emperor's kindly deed. but
with the early dawn a great serpent
g.ided Into the palace. up the steps and
into the royal chamber and laid upon
each of the emperors closed eyelIds a
cleaning topaz.
When the Emperor Theodosius awoke,
he was no longer blind. for the mother
snake had paid her debt OF gratitude.
