Economies in Fuel.

While the purpose of the plant is to
show the economies in fuel, a syste-
matte study al the abatement Of smoke
Is going on. A series OF tests has been
outlined In advance and IS being fol-
lowed out with much success. although
the experts viii not admit by any means
that the smoke. problem has been solved.
Some OF these tests have been aimed to
make the chimneys smoke. but fortu-
nateiy for the exposition visitors, very
little smoke came forth When this
work was frst started the early tests
showed that the abatement OF smoke
was a much more complex problem than
at first anticipated.

St. Peter, Dec. 7.-Horsemen in this
part of the state are formulating plans
for the organization of an east and
west racing circuit to be composed
of six southern Minnesota towns. Their
activity results from the two sue
cessful seasons of the Minnesota state
fair short ship circuit, which was
made up of seven fair associations.
AS their plan is outlined they would
retain four of the societies having
memberships in the local circuit, those
at Mankato, st. Peter, New Ulm and
Marshall, and would add Austin and
Albert Lea. The last named cities
are in the Cedar Rapids circuit at the
present time, but it is understood that
both fair associations are willing to
make the change.
If Austin and Albert Lea decide to
enter the dates will be arranged con-
secutively, the first fair being held at
Austin and the last at Marshall.

Owing to the fact that the laws on
the subject are not sufficiently strin-
gent, the state dairy and food depart
ment will probably ask the legislature
at its next session to enact such regu-
lations as will prevent the giving of
short weights in the sale of butter,
says The st. Paul Pioneer Press. Ere.
quent cases of short weight are found
but under the present laws consider
able difficulty is experienced in prose
cutting the offenders.
During the past few days Inspector
il. G. Fowler of the dairy and food
department, has found a number of
cases in which short weights have
been given in the sale of butter This
is true of jar butter as well as prints,
In fact, It has been found that in a
majority of cases the pound prints are
less than one pound in weight. The
greatest imposition upon the public is
found in butter sold in jars, in many
cases the purchaser buying what is
represented to be five-pound jar finds
himself short half pound.

MARTIN sTROBEL is DEAD
Prominent St. Clair Farmer Passed
Away Suddenly.


Martin Strobel passed away very
suddenly yesterday afternoon upon his
farm near st. Clair. He ate his din
ner as usual yesterday, and then felt
better than usual. He went upstairs
to his room and lay down to rest.
Twenty minutes later his wife heard
peculiar sound in his room and
went up to investigate. She had not
been with her husband more than three
minutes when he died. His death was
undoubtedly due to heart disease.
Mr.. Strobel was seventy seven years
of age, and is survived by his wife and
several children, all grown. He was
formerly a resident of Mankato and
was employed at the Bierbauer brew
cry, but thirteen years ago moved to
the farm near st. Clair and resided
there ever since. He was one of the
early settlers, and was well known
and highly respected by all.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Stobel
died without the attendance of doe
tor, Coroner Kennedy was called, but
found the facts to be as above stated
Funeral services will be held from
the home tomorrow forenoon, and the
interment will be made at the Ger
man Lutheran cemetery in this city.

Charming Wells Widow, Makes
, Dash For the Cities.
Accompanied BY the Daughter
Of Intended Husband.

Minneapolis, Dec. 7.GEloping in an
automobile from Wells, with the mans
seventeen year-old daughter an occu-
pant of their speeding machine, and
with the girls mother in hot pursuit
in a second auto. Theodore Price and
Mrs. Josephine Porter laughed at pur-
suers, reached Minneapolis safely and
were married at the West hotel last
night. Price is said to be Chicago
business man and his bride an attrac-
tive widow of Wells. Both said they
were forty-five years of age.
1t is said that the decree of divorce
granted the first Mrs. Price stipulated
that their daughter, given into the
custody of the husband at the time of
the separation, should be intrusted to
the care of the mother in case Price
remarked.
When it became known that Mr..
Price and Mrs. Porter were to be mar
ried Mrs. Price announced that she
would avail herself of the clause giving
the girl to her.
The date first agreed upon was
changed, but the first Mrs. Wells was
on the alert, and when Price arrived
in Wells Thursday morning he studied
the situation.
Flight from the city by automobile
was decided upon to escape Mrs. Price
No. /. But when the machine bearing
the man, the widow and the girl left
Wells it was rapidly followed by an
other machine, in which rode Mrs.
Price and detective.
A mile minute was reeled off by
the pursued and pursuing autos. After
a run of thirty miles or more the
automobile bearing the pursuers broke
down, and the party was left behind.
As soon as Price, Mrs. Porter and
the girl arrived in Minneapolis about
7:30 o'clock last night, they went to
the West hotel, and a minister said
by the hotel clerk to have been Rev.
G. L. Morrill,, was summoned to per-
form the ceremony.
Ruth Price said last night that she
preferred to live with her father as
he had always been ''just glorious" to
her.
The Price trio left Minneapolis early
this morning.
