THOSE WHO HAVE NEITHER GAS

Think of it, all of you farmers and

chief chemist of the agricultural de
farmers how to make denatured alcO-

used for Illuminating purposes. Many
Wayne county farmers are students
anxious to learn everything new that
is of benefit to them and they will be
sure to take hold of the opportunity to
acquire this knowledge.
Next August DR.. Wiley proposes to
erect a still at the bureau of chemistry
and operate it himself for two or three
months, producing denatured alcohol

Cheaply in the market.
Denatured alcohol is an excellent

new law permitting it to be made
without imposing a revenue tax. In
time, no doubt. stills will be set at all
agricultural colleges and schools es-
tablished to train students in the intri-
chemists. When they learn how,
farmers will be making this fuel just
as they do cider in the fall.

The Two BSconS.

Roger Bacon. 1214-94, known as
the miraculous DOCTOR" was a very
remarks BILE man, 800 years ahead OF
his time In fact, his mind was more
modern than that of Francis Bacon,
who lived three and a half centuries
later. He was probably the inventor
of gunpowder; he knew that there
were different kinds of gases: he pre-
dicted steamboats, and railroads.; he
constructed lenses and burning glasses
and was acquainted with the theory of
the telescope, if he did not actually
construct one. In an age of unusual
ignorance and superstition he stood for
keen, systematic thinking. In opposl-
ton to the spirit of his time he sought
to divert the interest of his cOntem-
poraries from scholastic substitutes to
study Of nature. 4 great many would
justify Draper in calling Roger Bacon
a greater man than was his more IA
nous namesake-Eaw York American.

LODGE AND SON.

One Wants Instructed Mass
achusetts Delegates and
One Does Not.
LIVELY TIME PREDICTED.
STATE CONVENTION WILL BE
HELD FRIDAY AND QUESTION
OF INSTRUcTING MEN FOR
TAFT WILL BE A BIG ISSUE.

Washington, d. c., April S.-Next
Friday the republicans Of Massachu-
sets will hold their state convention,
and there promises to be a lively con
test over the question whether or not
the delegates at large to the national
convention shall be instructed for Sec
rotary Taft. Singu1arly enough Sen
ator Lodge and his son-in-law, Repre-
sentative Gardner, will be arrayed
against each other in this fight Lodge
does not favor Instructions, while
Gardner is an earnest advocate OF the
proposition The senator has given
out a statement i'll which he says it
would be best not to insist on the pas
sage of resolutions of instructions, and
his son-in-laW announces his intention
TO press such resolutions. In his
statement the senator says:
AT the present time my one desire
is as it has been from the beginning,
to maintain harmony and good feel
ing in the republican party of Massa-
chusetts. Personally, | have no oppo-
sition to any resolution which the state
convention might see fit to pass, bus
I think that in the interest of the par
ty and of cordial union and harmony
among republicans, and out Of defer
ence to. those who feel that resolutions
would be to them cause of embarraSS-
ment it would be much better and wis
er not to offer or press any such reso-
buttons in the convention"
AS soon as Mr.. Lodges statement
vas shown to Representative Gardner.
he made the following statement:
Il am sorry Senator Lodge has TAX
en- position against Taft resolutions
in the convention. | hope he will not
oppose them actively. His assistance
would have been invaluable in our eff
fort to carry them, but we must get
along as best we can without the COOP
Grafton of either senator. SO far as
injury to the party is concerned, the
only thing likely to cause injury to the
republican party in Massachusetts Is
the feeling that the proceedings at the
state convention are likely to be cut
and dried beforehand and that the I'M
doubted preference of the state for Mr..
Taft, is not to be given expression"

The Best Man.

During the old days Of Sweden there
We're several best men, and the term
was applied in its full literal sense.
The duty Of the best men in those
times was 10 defend the groom and his
prospective bride from a rival who. &C
Compenied by several retainers, was
sure to appear while the wedding pro
CeSSion was on it's way to church and
make stubborn fight for possession
Of the woman. The Scandinavian war
rior considered it beneath his dignity
to court a maiden's favor by gallantry
and submission and. therefore, general
~ preferred to wait until she was on
her way to be married to another man,
when the attempt was made to carry
her off by main strength. 1t was then
that the best men-if they We're the
best men-came into good play; hence
the custom is still preserved in best
man Of today.

RIOTING LAST EVENING.

Lisbon, April 8.-Unawed by the
strong military force with which the
city has sWarmed since the election
rioting on Sunday evening, and the

Those familiar with the situation

FEARED COL. MANN SUIT
COMES AS A BIG SURPRISE TO
ALL WHO KNOW COPPER KING.

Lynn, Mass, April S.-A suit for
So, 600. filed in the Essex County Su-
perior court in Salem, late Tuesday
afternoon. by John S. Donohue, of this
city, against Thomas w. Lawson, of
Boston, has aroused widespread inter
est. The suit is for special services
alleged to have been performed by Mr.
DOnOhue as confidential agent to Law
son, and many of them cover some of
the biggest deals in the history of
finance. That most sensational deVel-
Opments will be brought out when the
case comes to trial is likely. The suit
comes as a surprise TO even the near
est acquaintance of the two persons,
who have long regarded Mr.. DOnOhue
as the closest friend of the copper
king and one of the few who knew the
real Lawson.
1t was not even known among some
Of their closest friends that there had
been an estrangement between them.
Mr.. DOnOhue himself, his friends say,
is at a loss to explain the attitude
which Lawson has assumed lately,
and which has caused the break be

Some of the Allegations.

These are some of the things Dono-
hue alleged against Mr.. Lawson in the
papers in his action:
That Lawson was the angel" for
certain theatrical ventures.
That Lawson bought part interest
from Colonel Mann in the notorious
Town Topics of New York, to stop
that publication from attacking him.
That Lawson had secret meetings
with certain persons in a furnished
room place in New York
That Lawson Through DonOhuel got
District Attorney John B. Moran. of
Boston. to break up a stockholders
meeting in New York.
Donohue is a Lynn politician and
business man. He is reputed to be
rich. He is connected with the mil
lionaire Dennox family of Lynn, and
had been in Lawson's employ about
90 years. probably being more init
mate with the Boston financier's af-
fairs than any other man.
Two DenaIs.
Mr.. Lawson, in statement given
out denies any knowledge of the So
sensational specifications alleged by
DonOhue in his complaint and makes
emphatic denial of the charge that he
was the angel for theatrical ven
lures He declares he does not know
the actress mentioned, and that he has
never seen her.

To the People of San Francisco:
AN APPEAL

An ABPEAL
The Million club of san Fran
cisco has organized. in order to
bring about a more perfect un-
derstanding among the citizens Of
this city and to promote the gem
eraI welfare and prosperity of San
Francisco, and TO secure One Mil
lion population by 1915.
The spirit OF doing the right
thing never fails. The individual
who has any consideration for the
city which gives. him living has
that city's interest always at heart.
That is why you viii join the Mil
lion club; that is why it is your
duty TO become a member of an
organization that will do more for
you and for the betterment of San
Francisco than any association
that has ever been founded for
the promotion of good conditions
such as we all desire.
In the year of independence of
the United States, the foundation
stone Of this, our city, was laid
when the Mission Dolores was
built by Father Junipero Sierra
This was 47 years before another
great city, which now has over
Two Million population, was born.
san Francisco today has but
100000 people.
Consider our location-consider
our advantages-consider our re-
sources, not only of San Francis
CO, but Of our state-the grandest
in the union, and yet with all this
San Francisco is the slowest grow
ing Of all the great American
cities.
San Francisco has existed under
three hags-the Spanish until 1926,
the Mexican until 1S4s, and in that
year san Francisco breathed it's
freedom under "Old Glory which
was unfurled to the winds after
conquest.
All good Americans get what
they want by working and fight
ing for it. not by begging. 1t is
the stick together, work together
and pull together principle that is
responsible for our progress. San
Francisco's greatness was antici-
pated when gold was discovered
by John Marshall on January "a,
1g4s, at Suffers mill. Then every
body began to talk about San
Francisco and to find ways and
means to come here. And now,
in 1903, with greater resources.
better advantages and the ways
and means TO come, they VIII
come. We have half a million pop
ulation now-we should have over
a million.
The Million club invites you to
put your best foot firmly forward
and become a member CT the Mil
