No New Cases Reported in
Hamilton. Few quar-
antines Lifted.
NO QUESTION ABOUT DISEASE
Prominent Physicians of Decatur
and Dowagiac Have Pro-
nounced 1t Small Pox.

For the past ten days the peace loving
citizens c. Hamilton have been disturbed
by the appearance in numerous places
of the dreaded disease smallpox.
A number of famihes have been quar-
antined and others are fearful that they
will be and it has naturally caused more
or less complaint from some who suffer
hardships on account of 1t. Those at
licted have not been seriously i'll aEd
some have contended that the disease
was not small pox.
OF course these opinions put up
against expert diagnosis must necessari-
ly lose and the majority are satisfied to
abide by the result of the diagnosis. The
township board constitutes the board of
health and DR.. j +. Maxwell is the ap-
pointed health officer. The supervisor
is chairman of the board of health.
The supervisor and health officer are
leaving nothing undone in their efforts
| to stamp out the disease and it is
! thought no new cases will be reported.
pr. Maxwell says there Is not the least
doubt about the cases being small pox
and his statement is verified by DR.. Rose
and DR.. Herkimer. Two years ago when
the same disease broke out in Decatur
the chairman of the state board of
health was sent for; he pronounced it
small pox and demanded a strict quar-
entine The disease was soon eradi-
Gated.
Monday Supervisor Conway lifted the
quarantine from the homes of T.. NJ.
Langley and +, A Osborn. Those still
under quarantine are Erastus Osborn,
John Johnson, Roni Cheney, Stephen
Goodrich and Levi Mcpherson. They
are all light cases.-Decatur Republican.

GASOLENE-EL ECTRIC CAR.

seconds High speed, however, is not
what is especially desired. but ease or
starting and stopping, ease of running
and freedom from accidents and break
downs; also, economy in operating. This
last was quite evident, as it required
but one gallon of gasolene to make the
fastest mile that was run. There was
not a single breakdown of any portion
of the machinery during the test. One
Of the gratifying features was the
rapid acceleration of speed, showing
the adaptability of the car to frequent
stops. From a complete standstill a
speed of 80 miles an hour was quickly
picked up and the power Of the engine
was such as to show that IL necessary
a train of three or four trailers might
have been hauled. In appearance the
car does not differ from the ordinary
model, but at one end is a gasolene en-
CINE driving an electric dynamo, and
the wheels are run by motors placed
on the trucks. The engine Is OF $50
horsepower, and the car can be run
in either direction. A complete air.
brake system gives control and the car
IS heated by water coming from the
coolers on the gasoline engine. 1t is
lighted by electricity. The success of
this experimental car will lead the COM
pany to order the building of a great
number for local traffic on the main
and branch lines.

THE ALADDIN COOKER.
4 Device Which 1t IL Claimed VIII Great.
Iy Reduce the Cost OF Living.


The late Edward Atkinson, the emf
hent economist, was deeply interested
In the Aladdin Cooker, a device which
he felt sure would greatly reduce the
expense of food preparation in the
kitchen, and thus increase the comforts
of every class. The theory of the de-
vice Is that heat could be accumulate
from a common hand-lamp inside Of a
pine box in such quantities as to cook
anything that was desired. He sue
ceeded in demonstrating that all meats
BIRDS fish, oatmeal, corn meal and
farina could be- properly roasted or
stewed, soups or broths made and other
culinary operations carried on by the
heat of cpmlnon lamp with q one
inch wick. Prof. Atkinson wrote vol
uminously on this subject, and made
many lecture courses to introduce the
device to the people everywhere. The
cut shows the device with It's dimen-
siens and details of construction.

SPANS BOY KING.
A Remarkable Pen Portrait Of the Newly
Engaged Monarch.


In his readable article. His Majesty,
the King of Spain," in the February
Everybody's, Vance Thompson says:
1.-The gloomy child had grown into a
bonny youth. He was slim, supple, tall
1t would have been f1attery to call him
good-looking. A nose long and thick
and curved-a more than Bourbon
nose; the heavy chin and protruding
lower lip Of the Hapsburgs: the eyes
large and dark and bright, the skin,
too, dark in the Spanish wayne was
distinguished, remarkable, peculiar.
And with all that, he was as vfvacious.
as frank and jolly as college boy at
football game. He had the true Span
iard's enthusiasm for the bloody sport
of the corrida de toros 1t was easy to
see why this big, natural. enthusiastic
boy should be popular. In fact, Alfonso
has the first requisite of King; he
understands his people-sympathizes
with them and likes them. He cares
nothing for royal etiquette. In Madrid
he goes about as freely and Familiarity
as any other citizen. The afternoon of
which I write, as he rode home from
the bull-fight, student jumped on the
carriage step, and handed him bunch
of roses. Here, take these, Don AL
fonso. And the King took them, smil-

adopted:
Whereas it is credibly reported that
the flag of the late So-called 'Confed-
crate States of America is being dis
played in public places, and on public
occasions; and
Whereas. to all defenders Of the
Stars and Stripes, and all who were
loyal to the Union, that flag was is. and

Whereas in this reunited land there

partment Of the Potomac. G.. A. r., in
Annual Encampment assembled, That
We view with regret and sorrow the
public display of an emblem which
tends to keep alive the bitterness and
luminosity engendered by the war, which
it should be the aim Of every good citi-
zen to allay;
Resolved, That such a course tends
to instill in the minds of coming gen.

National emblem, and Is not in accord
with the oft-repeated profession made
by the Southern people of their love for
the National emblem and their devo-
ton to the Union.
Resolved. That in the interest of the
peace and good will toward all which
we desire to promote, We earnestly re-
quest all ex-Confederate soldiers. once
our valiant foes. but now our fellow
citizens and sharers with us in the
pride of American valor and heroism.

beautiful Southland to abstain from all

big Yard Locomotive for Grand Central
Station Tested Successfully.
(Schenectady Dispatch to the New York
PresS.)
Taking advantage Of the heavy fall
OF snow recently, an official test Of the
big electric locomotive designed to take
the place Of the steam ones in hauling
trains through the tunnel in New York
was made. From early morning until
night the tests were continued, and
when they were over the officials Of the
General Electric Company and the New
York Central Railroad asserted they
were satisfied with the showing made
by the engine.
During the entire series Of tests the
electric locomotive remained apparently
unmindful of the big snowdrifts that
INSTRUCTED it's path. 1t plowed through
the big drifts as easily as though they
were made Of tissue paper, and, SO far
as the running Of the locomotive was
concerned, the Is inches Of snow which
lay on the level made no difference
whatever Sixty and 20 miles an hour
were made by the locomotive in the
snow, and it is expected that better
time will be made on the second test
Chief Engineer Potter. who was pres
ent at the tests. said that the machine
was completely covered with snow dur
ing the runs, but that the exposed ma
chinery and running gear. although
packed with ice. did not interfere with
the running of the locomotive.

count of the Patent fund JAN 1, 1906,

In concluding his report the Com
missioner of Patents says:
1.-The most important event in the
business of this Office during the year
1905 was the passage and taking effect
or the new trademark law of Feb. 20,
1905. This act reduced the fee upon
from $25 to $40, and Immediately re-
suited in great increase in the number
OF trademark applications. The in
crease may be appreciated by compar-
ing the number of applications received
I'm the year 1905, 1924, with the num-
Der in the preceding year. 2,524, the
number filed the past year thus being
about six and one-half times the num-
Der filed the preceding year. The work
thus laid upon this Office i'm the trans
action Of this large amount of new
business has made 1t necessary to in
crease the force employed in the Trade
Mark Division and has laid heavy bur
dens upon the Examining Division from
which this force was drawn. as well as
upon the clerical force drawn upon for
the performance of the additional cleri-
cal work. TO this should be added the
increase in the number of applications
for patents for the year 1905. such in
crease being 2.86S. The great increase
In these two branches of our work has
Overtaxed the present force of this
Office, which is not able to keep this
work up to satisfactory state Of
promptness under the existing condi-
tons / consider ii a matter of abso-
lutte necessity for the prompt and sat
isfactory transaction of the work of
this Office that an increase of force,
both of examiners and of clerks, be
provided by Congress, and estimates
for increases in our force have been
submitted for this reason"
