TAKE CURRENT FROM AIR
WELLS WILL BE USED TO GEN
ERATE ELECTRICITY.
The Discovery of South Dakota
Farmer Is One of the MarVelS
of Electrical World.

Vi electrical w Oflu.
South Dakota cities are supplied
with electric lights, the electricity
for which is generated by artesian
wells; farm machinery is run by
motors and turbine wheels perated
by the gushing wells between the
Missouri and the James rivers, but
it has also been left to a South Da-
kota farmer to discover that the
electrical current can be taken from
the air above the Buttes to furnish
the power, which will run electric
lights, threshing machines and water
pumps.
Such a discovery is one of the
marvels of the electrical world and
dream of inventors of decades, but
John H. Stranhan, son of a well-to-
do farmer near Miller, S. D., has
made the discovery, and from the
Sally Buttes may be seen number
of tandem kites, while half way to
to the earth on No copper wire
hangs a strange white box the size
of a beehive.
From the copper wires which de-
scend from the box enough electri-
cal energy is secured to run the mo-
tors with which the Stranhan home
is lighted, to operate a feed grinder
and a threshing machine, and run a
big electrical pump, which pours wa
ter into the irrigating bitches.
Young Stranhan is graduate of
an eastern polytechnic school, where
he went to complete his studies af-
ter graduating from the University
of Nebraska at Lincoln. Since leav-
ing the school he has devoted much
of his time to studying the Hertzian
waves, the electrical waves which
make the wireless telegraph posi-
BILE. He has experimental under the
belief that it was possible to collect
the electricity in the air and use it
for commercial purposes.
He now declares that he has per-
fected a device which gives him the
/ first current from the air above the
Sally Buttes, and by a series of in
duction the power is increased until
! it runs all the machinery on the
| Stranhan farm.
! Stranhan says that his scheme
was successful from the start, so
far as the production of an electrical
current was concerned, but the diff
Guilty was in producing current of
sufficient potentially to be of utili-
ty in farm work. After months of
study and experimentation, however,
he says that he has hit upon sim
ple device which answers the require
ments, and that he is now able to
secure from the clouds a current
sufficiently strong to run twenty
horse power motor. He says that
by increasing the size of the collect
or he is confident that he will be
able to produce currents of practi-
cally unlimited power.

A VERY UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
Lieut.. England Killed at Chefooo BY
a French Bullet.

Chefoo, China-Lieut. Clarence Eng
land, navigating officer of the United
States cruiser Chattanooga, was
wounded by a rife bullet fired by a
member of the crew of the French
armored cruiser Dupetit Thouars, and
died in a few hours.
The Chattanooga, with Lieut.. Eng
land on the bridge, was proceeding
from the harbor to a target range,
just outside, and was passing the
French squadron, which was anchored
near the American squadron, and was
engaged in small-arms practice. Teh
Chattanooga, after several bullets had
struck the side of the ship, signaled
to the Frenchmen to cease firing, but
before this was accomplished Lieut..
England was struck in the back, at
the base Of the spine, probably by a
ricochet bullet, which left his body
under the arm.
[Lieut. England was the son of ].
E. England, of Little Rock, Ark. He
was appointed to Annapolis in 1890,
and became a lieutenant in 1902. He
had been on the Chattanooga since
1904. Capt. Lloyd England, of the ar

FEDERAL COURT DECLARES 1T A
TRUST ESTATE.
O0WIE AND VOL|VA OUSTED
An Election Will Be Held September
1a For a New Leader-DoW-
les Compensation.

Chicago-Neitner John Alexander
Dowie, founder, nor Wilbur Glen Vo-
Iva, present general overseer, is given
the property, estimated to be worth
$12, 900, 900 to 81, 000, 900, in the de-
cision handed down by Judge X. M.
Lands, of the United States circuit
court, in the Zion City case. Instead,
Judge Lands declared Zion City a
trust estate, named John G. Hately,
member of the Chicago board of trade,
receiver of the property and ordered
the holding of an election September
IS, when the people of the Christian
Catholic Apostolic church in Zion City
shall choose their overseer. Judge
Lands will decide later what compen-
sation Dowie will be allowed for his
past services.
The nub of the courts decision is in
the ruling that contributions of prop
erty and money given Dowie was In
trust. Judge Lands declared the con
veyance of the Zion City property by
Voliva under power of attorney to
John Alexander Granger to be void.
Judge Lands quoted from writings of
Dowie to show that the latter had al
ways regarded the property OF his
church as a trust.
The adjudication in the bankruptcy
proceedings against Dowie was also
set aside so that pending litigation
against DoWie may automatically be
restrained until the entire litigation
is ended.
Receiver Hately's bond of $4,000
was approved by the court, and he
went Immediately to Zion City and
assumed charge of the property.

ing on this phase of the case, stating
that in May, 1906, several weeks be-
fore her petition for divorce was filed,

without evasion and in a clear voice.
A Prominent Witness.
Miss Addie Corey, a sister of the
respondent, was an interesting wit
ness. She corroborated Mrs. Corey's
statement that Corey had deserted his
wife and told how she and her aged
mother had made several Intellectual
attempt to affect a reconciliation.
Her brother she said, had lost sight
of his home, being absorbed in bust
ness, was infatuated with the fast life
of New York, and was not a proper
guardian for his son.
