John Gilmore, the Altoona cobbIer who
makes ashes burn, gave demonstration
OF his discovery Friday before a score of
coal and iron men i'm Pittsburg and vicin-
ity, Gilmore replied to the statement
of New York chemist, to the effect
that choral must be used in the com
pound to bring about the results that
Gilmore is attaining, and that owing to
the expense of choral the discovery
could never be of commercial value
Not one grain of choral goes into my
compound" declared Gilmore, NOR is
there any other expensive ingredient :"
Fillmore and his financial hacker, Dr.
H. X. Hoy figured out that the actual
cost of a sufficient quantity of the com
pound TO treat a ton of coal is about 12
cents, and it can be properly placed on
the market for 25 cents-a saving of
from one-third to two thirds local re-
suits. The tests i'm Pittsburg were sue
cessful in every way Two tons of coal
We're consumed in one furnace, and then
the ashes were burned While this was
going on another furnace consumed so
tons or coal. The amount of heat gem
Grated In the furnace burning the ashes
was fully one-third greater than that of
the other furnace.

Swelling around eyes, ankles and abdomen
DroWsness and a constant tired feeling
Pale, hot and dry skin.

Dwight A. Niles 20, shot and killed his
wife. Louisa M. Niles, 20, Saturday night
at 2 O'Clock at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Asa Lamb, about nan
mile from Newport Centre. The couple
were married about a year ago but had
not been living together of late. Niles,
who was formerly a brakeman for the
Central Vermont railway company, was
injured and came to his home in New
port to recuperate. He had been working
recently for Erastus Buck of the New
port creamery. Mrs. Niles worked at r.
H. Bucks and when Niles called there
Saturday she refused to see him. Later
Mrs Niles boarded a train for Newport
Centre with the intention of spending
Sunday at the home of her parents, as
was her custom. Niles went to Newport
Centre by the same train but did not dis
cover his wife until she alighted at the
station He then followed her to the
house and entreated her to live with him.
As Mrs. Niles turned to enter the gate
way he pulled out a revolver and fired
one shot The bullet struck Mrs Niles
near the right ear, passed through the
head and lodged near the left eye. Mrs.
Niles was picked up by her parents ana
carried into the house. She died in about
five minutes. Niles ran away, evidently
with the intention of escaping across the
Canadian border. Sheriff Miles was no.
titled and he and deputies and citizens
were soon in pursuit Both of the young
people were well known in Newport and
Newport Centre. Niles was a member of
Frontier lodge of Odd Fellows and of
Company L, V. N. G.
Niles was arrested Monday in the ca
boose of a freight train in Richford The
train was on the Canadian Pacific rail-
road and was bound to Montreal. He
made no resistance and was placed in the
lookup. Shortly afterward he attempted
suicide by cutting his throat with a jack
knife. The wound is not considered Sc
rious. He boarded the train two or three
miles from Newport while it was pulling
up steep grade He was in an eX
hausted condition and the tranmen al
lowed him to go to sleep in the caboose,
while they teegraphed to Richford to
have officers in waiting for him. Niles
gave up a revolver when he was searched,
but the knife with which he slashed
himself was not found when he was ar
rested. He was brought back to New
port where he is now held awaiting a
hearing.
