BUILDS OWN LIGHTING PLANT.
ST. Louis Man Iluminates Home anc
Runs Household Machines.

ST. Louis.-In his leisure hours
Fred Brendel, engineer of the Com
mercial building, has been construct
ing and Just brought to completion an
electric lighting plant. which he has
installed in the yard back of his resi-
dence on Union boulevard.
With his homemade electric light
ing plant he is able to illuminate his
home and that of tenant and furnish
enough power to run a sewing ma
chine and other small household ma
chimes, do the family ironing, run cleo
trio fans and proposes in the near fu-
ture to be able to cook
Mr.. Brendels plant is in power
house his friends constructed during
the evenings and Sundays this fall.
In the house is a four-horse power
engine and generator, with the neces-
sary rlieostats, and volt and ampere
meters. The engine is run by gasoline
and is managed by Mrs Brendel. who
has been appointed chief engineer.
while Mrs. Louis Daniels, who occu-
pies the upper part of his residence.
is assistant engineer.
The plant cost about $500 to con-
struct and the cost of lighting the
house is about ten cents a night for
40 lamps.
The engine has heavy foundation

del amused himself by putting in with

mvrderers and they would risk no
rivers giving up Its dead to their un-
doing.
1t had been ascertained beyond rea-
sonable dooubt that Williston could
not have left the country in any OF the
unual modes. His description was at
all the stations along the line, togeth-
err with the theory that he would be
leaving under compulsion.
Meanwhile, Gordon had buckled
down for the big fight. He was sadly
handicapped, with the whole prop OF
his testimony struck from under him
by Williston's disappearance. How
ever, those who knew him best-the
number was not large-looked for
things to happen in those days. They,
the few, the courageous minority,
through all the ups and downs-with
the balance in favor of the downs
most of the time-of the hardest
fought battle of his life, the end OF
which left him gray at the temples,
maintained deep and abiding faith
in this quiet, unassuming young man,
who had squared his shoulders to this
new paralyZing blow and refused to be
knocked out, who walked with them
and talked with them, but kept his
own counsel, abided his time, and in
the meantime-worked.
One day Langford was closeted with
him for long two hours in his dingy,
one-roomed office on the ground floor.
The building was plain wooden af-
fair with its square front rising above
the roof. In the rear was lean-to
where Gordon slept and had his few
hours of privacy.
1T won't do, Paul. Gordon said in
conclusion. Il have thought it all
out. We have absolutely nothing to
go upon-nothing at least but our own
convictions and a bandaged arm, and
they won't hang a man with Jesse's
diabolical influence. Well fight it out
on the sole question of Mag Paul.
After that-well-who knows? Some
thing else may turn up. There may be
developments. Meanwhile, just wait.
There will be justice for Williston
yet"
The Glenwood post., 1908-04-25
CHAPTER xlI.-continued.

After gallant and dauntless search,
which lasted through the best days of
September, Langford was forced to
let cold reason have it's sway. He had
thought, honestly, that the ruffians
would not dare commit murder, know
ing that they were being pursued; but
now he was forced to the opinion that
they had dared the worst, after all
For, though it would be hard to hide
all trace of dead man, infinitely
greater would be the difficulty in COW
ering the trail of a living one-one
who must eat and drink, who had a
be restrained. 1t came gradually to
him, the belief that Williston was
dead; but it came surely. With it
came the jeer of the specter that
would not let him forget that he
should have foreseen what would
surely happen. With it came also a
great tenderness for Mary, and re-
doubled vigilance to keep his unruly
tongue from blurting out things that
would hurt her who was looking tc
him, in the serene confidence in his
good friendship, for brotherly counsel
and comfort.
In the first dark days of his new be-
lief, he spoke to Gordon, and the
young lawyer had written second
letter to the gal reporter In re-
sponse, she came at once to kemah
stead in the boss's own private, .
This time the boss did the driving

her 'mouse-colored hair" with serious
trepidation and alarm. What he had
dreaded had come to pass. Twas but

Louise slipped into the sad life at

Mary rallied under her gentle minis

but she arose from her bed, grateful
in her determination not be trouble

unavailing tears.

"A heavier than air flying machine for

A. NJ. Herring of New York has moi

BROWNSVILLE ORDER JUST.
Senator eorah UphoIds Order Dis.
charging Negro Soldiers.

Washington-The ARRAY at Browns
lille, Texas, again called forth the
most intense interest in the Senate
Monday.
Senator Borah of Idaho, taking the
ground that the testimony showed con-
clusively that the negro soldiers of the
Twenty-f1fth regiment shot up the
own. gave careful analysis of the
violence in the case. Tr.If4
There was an unusually large num-
her of senators present on both sides OF
Ihe chamber and they carefully fol
lowed the arguments presented by Mr.
B9rah.
The speech was made notable by
many striking passages OF oratory and
attracted general interest Besides
containing an analysis of the testimony
taken sin the Brownsville case, ii was
in reply to Senator Foraker's recent
discussion of the same subject.
During the speech Senator Borah
took occasion to express strong disap
proval of any effort to secure leniency
for Harry Orchard.
Mr.. Borah made very clear his be
lief that the evidence established
conspiracy on the part of some q the
negro soldiers of the Twenty-ffstOes
ultnJ W SllOOl UP thC Sowh.
Il contend" he said, that the evil
dence in this case is simply overwhe6m-
ing and conclusive against the colored
| soldiers, unless you resort to the prop
osition If conspiracy which manufac
tured the evidence, and that is evi
IDENTIFY the view taken by the defense"
The morale Of the army, he said, is
paramount to any mans right TO re
main in it. II any man in the Twenty
fifth regiment participated in the riot
and if others connived the crime by
concealing knowledge of it to shelter
the guilty parties, then both were
guilty alike, he declared.
Mr.. Borah called attention to Mr..
Foraker's suggestion that the citizens
of Brownsville might have shot up the
town to secure the removal of the ne
gro soldiers.
Now. l confess" he said, that there
might possibly have been desire to at.
tack the soldiers but 1t seems that this
conspiracy If 1t had existence. would
not have turned its guns upon its own
people"
| Mr.. Borah reviewed at length the tes
timony in the case and then announced
his conclusion that "it liscloses thr
guilt of certain members of the Twenty
| nftn infantry as participants III w
Brownsville affair beyond a reasonable
doubt
Mr. Borah dwelt at some length upon
the accomplishments of the negro race
since the abolition of slavery, ami
found much cause for congratulation;
but, he said, this fact could not eH.
cuse individuals from punishment for
crime, even if such leniency should b.
in the interest of the race, which it
would not be.

Washington.-The House committee
on mines and mining has ordered
printed as public document the arsn-
ment recently made before it by
Thomas F. Walsh in support Of the bill
providing for the establishment of a
mining bureau in the Department OF
the Interior. Mr.. Walsh's views on
the subject were regarded by the COM
mittee in the light Of an expert opin-

printed for general distribution among
members of Congress and others in
terested in promoting and improving
the mining industries. 1t is believed
that bill for the creation of mining
bureau will be passed.
