SMOkELESS FUEL.
London Man Patents Process of Value
10 Pittsburg

According to the Mechanical En-
gineer a London man has recently
patented the following process for the
manufacture Of smokeless fuel: About
one-third part by weight of wet peat
and two-thirds part by weight of BIZ
luminous coal which may be in fine
~ divided state. are taken and plac-
ed in retort and heated to a tenn
perature sufficiently high (about $50
degrees FahrenheiD to drive off
those hydrocarbons that produce
smoke, the generation of the steam
from the peat assisting in this oper-
alton. 1t will be understood that the
temperature is not raised materially
higher than is necessary to drive off
the hydrocarbons as stated. The heat
Is applied for about five hours. The
bituminous coal binds the peat to-
gether to a coherent mass and forms
a fuel of high calorific value. which
Is readily ignited in a CRATE in the
ordinary way and burns economically
ana without smoke.
In practice the retort may be pro-
vided with relief valves and arranged
SO as to maintain a pressure of 10
pounds per square inch. The retort
may be heated in any convenient way,
such as by heat externally applied or
by burning some of the gases gem
Grated after partial purification.
The watery extract, containing tar
Of compley constitution. pyrolibneous
acid, and other products derived from
the carbonization of peat, in addition
to the gases referred to, is advantage
ously condensed and utilized for the
production Of a pitch of superior
quality, and the usual condensible
products obtained from the bitumi-
nous coal in the retort may be col
ected and used for any desired pur-
pose. In some cases the contents Of
he retort after the process has been
may, while still hot or
lster they have cooled, be discharged |
nto a solution of calcium chloride. !
BY this means the Smokeless fuel is |
'endered slightly deliquescent and al |
ways retains a certain quantity of |
moisture. The coal or the peat or
10Th may be moistened with a solu-
ion of calcium chloride before be-
ng placed in the retort

NEBRASKA EXPECTS .
ANDREWS TO RESIGN
SOON; HEALTH POOR
Claimed That Chancellor'S DAYS
Are Numbered--Howard
Picked for Place.

Lincoln, Eeb., Jan. 14.-The rcsigna-
tion OF Z. Benjamin Andrews Is not in
the hands Of the university regents.
Nevertheless his days are numbered rs
head Of the state university. He has
intimated to the regents. that he has
been in such poor health that he does,
not care longer to attempt to hold down
the place.
II fact he mas not been chancellor
for weeks. The duties OF the place have
been distributed among others, and his
h~eadship has been very largely nominal.
He has been a prolific author and
speaker, and his utterances I'm defense
OF the privileges OF wealth and poorly
yelled eulogies of Rockefeller have Gre
ated a sentiment that his retention as
chancellor was injuring the University.
In view OF the services he bad rem
dered 1 n his nine years In the place, the
regents, however, ave done nothing,
and his action has been purely volun-
tary. 1t is very likely that he will
be succeeded by Geo. K. Howard, pro-
fessor Of institutional history. who is a
graduate of the institution. He was
connected with Leland Stanford uni
versity for years, but left when Mrs.
Stanford sought to circumscribe the
academic freedom Of the faculty mem
beers.

MRS. tuIY NO LONGER
RESPONSIBLE, SAYS SON

Lead, S. D., Jan. 15.-George w.
Glover is not the instigator, but mere
ly one of the plaintiffs in the new suit
said to have been filed in the New
Hampshire courts TO restrain his moth
er, Mrs. Eddy, from donating $1,000 900
10 a Christian Science institution.
Glover last night said:
Personally, / know little of the pro-
ceedtngs relative to my mothers con-
templated endowment. Senator Chand-
Ter has full charge Of the case and DR..
Foster Eddy knows more of the nature
of the suit than /. / do not we know
that 1t has been filed.
1T is h intention OF this suit to
show that the trust deed which
blocked our efforts to get at the condi-
ton of my mothers finances in the last
suit is merely a blind, for under it's
provision If 1T is valid, as the members
of the CLIQUE that dominate my mother
contend, this present endowment could
not be made. Sooner or later the world
rs going to get at the bottom of the
mystery of my mothers life.
Il believe from what information I
have that her mind is like that of q
little child, and L as her son, am sure
ly entitled to have some say in the
matter of protecting her from the in
1uenceS surrounding her"

SOUTH DAKOTA COUNTIES
~ EXCELLENT SHAPE

Pierre, 8. D., Jan. s.-The late re-
port Of the state auditor goes into
county statistics Of indebtedness and
shows that the unpaid taxes in coun-
ties are practically equal TO their
bonded debts, and that the cash on
hand for county purposes exceeds by
$4,000 the total outstanding warrant
Indebtedness OF the counties. The
heaviest debt of the counties IS to the
state school fund, amounting to more
than $500, 900, but this Is all secured
TO them by real estate mortgages, The
whole showing being a most favorable
for the counties.
While there are but rs counties with
out bonded Indebtedness In this years
report against % last year, the total
bonded debts have been decreased $4e,-
S30.19.
The commissioners of stanley coun-
~ have offered a reward OF $500 for
the revolver with which Katherine
Kille was murdered. 1t is said tina
Bowen, held for the killing, had a re-
volver up to within q few days before
the killing, but he did not have 1t In
his possession when arrested, and as
serted he had lost ii some time before.
The theory is that he hid the revolver,
a search is being made for II.

ORDER IN BERLIN;
Won BUEL0W STAND
SHARPLY RESENTED

Berlin, Jan. 14.-Order prevails
throughout Berlin today, there being no
recurrence Of the demonstrations of
yesterday for manhood suffrage in
Prussia. ...
The police. however, are still dis
posed in force at stragetic points
around the city. The police do not per-
init the people to form in groups, con-
seQuently 1t has been impossible to as
semble n start a demonstration. Most
of the men arrested yesterday were re-
leased today.
The Vorwaerts, the official organ of
he social democratic party, says to-
day:
There Will be no quiet In Prussia
until universal, equal, secret direct suf-
frage has been o Won Buelow's dec
laration Is quite clear. The phantom
Of liberal era is ended. People are
warned and they will learn"
Newspapers of liberal tendencies
such as the Tageblatt, regard Won Bue-
lows refusal as curt, harsh and inn
bued with the worst re-actionary spir-
It," In times past" the TaEeblatt
adds, other liberal reforms have over
come he opposition OF greater states
men than Won Buelow."
The chief commissioner OF police an
nounces he has ordered his men to sup
press with the utmost energy any street
demonstrations which are likely to take
place Sunday as q result of the social
ist mass meetings scheduled for that
day.

WORKED AS PEON
IN SOUTHERN MINE

Lead, S. D., Jan. with the ar
rival here Of Charles Bodgner, a Ger
man, there was disclosed a 9 Of
peonage that may reach the United
States courts. Bodgner came here
through the intercession Of George
Bezik a friend who had learned Of the
abject slavery In which Bodgner as
serts he was held. .rl
Bodgner according to his story, land
ed in New York from n of the big
liners last summer, on his way TO the
Black Hills. Scarcely had he reached
shore. he says, when he was met by
q man who offered to show him the
way to the mining camp. Bodgner
signed a contract with the Virginia Lee
Coal and was at once taken
to West Virginia with several other
foreigners.
On their arrival at the camp OF the
company, near the Pennsylvania Dor
der line, Bodgner says that they wers
met by armed guards who rudely
thrust them into the mines, told them
to go to work and flourished ~six-shoot-
ers in their faces, threatening to use
the weapons IL any n attempted to
escape. For three months the miners
we're herded nke sheep, not being per-
mitted to communicate with the out
side world, beaten when they worked
too slow, and fed but sparlngly.
Finally Bodgner managed to slip a
letter to a visitor at the camp and IL
was dispatched to Bezik in this city.
Bezik replied by registered mail, en-
closing money and a ticket to Lead.
and this so cowed the company off,
Gals, Bodgner says, that they per-
mitted him to leave. not having paid
him a CEN for the work he did.
Bodgner speaks English fairly wen
and is educated. He has written the
German embassy at Washington and
demanded that his companions at the
West Virginia mine be released and
the peonage system broken up.

JUSTICE AT LAST
FOR PEACE ENVOY
Edward Allison, Who Made
Possible Ending OF Sioux
Wars, Rewarded.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The man who
brought Sitting Bull into a camp Of
federal troopers and made possible the
negotiations which at last ended the
wars between the Sioux Indians and
the federal government a at last been
lone tardy and scanty justice by the
government. .... .
Edward III. Allison Is the man. He
lives at Rosebud, 8. D., n though a
native Of New England has been mar
ried to two wives who were both full
blooded daughters Of he Sioux tribe
BY mis- first marriage and adoption into
the Sioux tribe he became a brother or
the famous Chief Gall, the greatest
warrior of the tribe, not even excepting
Sitting Bull whose force overcame and
destroyed Custer.
Allison went to the far west in 1856
with a good record as q soldier and
that same year married an Indian wife
who lived only about a year. He was
taken into full membership Of the Brule
the army doing distinguished service
In the fighting following the Custer
campaign, Allison did service which
General Sheridan described officially as
beyond estimation" He vas always
loyal to the government and was high
ly influential in bringing the Indians to
see the impossibilty Of resistance. .
Acted az Peace Envoy.
At the last, after years OF the most
difficult and dangerous service as scout,
guide and interpreter he was put In
charge OF the effort t. bring the great
Die Sitting Bull into camp TO treat with
the government. Allison accomplished
the task and Sitting Bull made peace
with h white men. For this work he
has been given probably Is high praise
as any man who ever served the gov
eminent In any of the Indian wars.
AS an old man Allison found himself
recognized as a membe OF the Sioux
tribe n therefore was unable to get
his allotment OF lands in the Rosebud
reservation in Trip county. South Da-
kota, which is soon to be opened He
set about to make his record clear and
sent to Senator Gamble a mass Of let
ters and credentials from army officers
OF which any man might well be proud.
Senator Gamble was able to have the
interior department place AIison's
on the roll of the Sioux tribe and
when the Trip county lands are
opened, he win come in for an allot-
ment OF $40 acres Of pasture or 800
acres OF agriculture lands.
Allison is the author Of a history of
the Sioux wars, which has been wide
~ accepted as OF the best books on
the subject.

DAUGHTER SEEKS
LONG LOST FATHER

Yankton, S. D., Jan. 1~o.-Search is be-
ing made here, on request from Oma-
ha, for some clew to The whereabouts
Of Captain Albert Powell Sanders, a
pioneer Of this section. His daughter,
Mrs. Virginia Heenan, Of Omaha, has
not seen him since 1874.
Born in Virginia, Sanders went to
California in 1S49 and on the outbreak
Of the civil war enlisted with a Call

through the war and later went to
Omaha, where from 1869 to 1878 he
was captain of police. He h e went
with twelve prospectors into the Black
Hills.
Sanders discovered the Virginia
mine, now part of the Homestake prop
erty; sold out, and on his return jour-
ney was robbed by white men dressed
as Indians. This was the last his Fam
lily heard of him until recently, when
an old friend reported to the daughter
In Omaha that he had seen him In
yankton. So far no new clew has
turned up.

THREE DAKOTA TOWNS
HAVE COSTLY FIRES

Howard, S. d., Jan. 10.-Two business
houses were totally destroyed by fire
yesterday, causing a loss OF over $2O,OVO.
The insurance is less than one-half.
Almost at the first stroke Of the fire
bell the rope broke, delaying the alarm
until it was too late to check the fire.
A defective stove in w. T. Stoves
general store Is supposed to have
caused the fire. This store and Harris
bakery were totally destroyed. Tho
loss on the Shove building and con-
tents amounts to about SIS. 200, partly
covered by insurance.
Mrs. Hart purchased the bakery last
week, paying 81, 200. 1t was insured for
$3.50. The building was owned by Mrs.
+. III. DEFINE. who carried $500 insur"
ance.
The merchandise stock of J. p. Grim
ager was slightly damaged by smoke.
Brentford Fire Swept.
Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. 10.-Half the
business portion of the thriving little
city OF Brentford, one OF the new towns
on the Minneapolis and st. Louis eX-
tension to the Missouri river. was de-
stroyed by fire, mentioned In Tuesdays
Tribune. The fire started in II. A. Mil
ler's dry goods store and famed by a
brisk northwest wind soon spread to
adjoining buildings containing Geo. Il.
Mann's hardware store, the postoffice
and telephone station. b. A. Esty's
store and the Stanley hotel were also
destroyed.
The town has no fire protection n
what was saved was solely through the
efforts of amateur firemen. The loss,
estimated It $50. 900. Is thought to be
well covered by insurance. The burned
buildings will nearly all be rebuilt as
soon as the insurance is adjusted.
Geo. b. Mann. postmaster and pro-
prietor OF the Mann Hardware COM
pany, is the heaviest loser.
Burns on Day Of Sale.
Hitchcock, S. D., Jan. 10.-While the
papers transferring the property were
awaiting the signatures of the persons
interested fire broke on in the roller
mill OF D. T.. Chaplin, Of this place, and
before the flames could be extinguished
the mill was totally destroyed.
There is some doubt as to the origin
OF the fire, but 1t is supposed that in
some the dust IN the building
became ignited. as the flames appeared
to spread TO all parts of the structure
in an instant. Only last summer Mr..
Chaplin made extensive improvements
to the mill. In the way Of new ma
chinery, new roof, new dump n
scales. etc. AS he had insurance to the
amount of only S2.5e0 upon the prop
Srty his loss Is a heavy one.
