OXYGEN USED TO CUT STEEL
Little or No Finishing Required After
the Operation.

A stream of oxygen is the knife that
cuts metals. The operation is per.
formed by means of a blowpipe with
two nozZles, of which the first delivers
an ignited jet of mixed oxygen and
hydrogen, and the second is stream
of pure oxygen. The pressure is reg
ulated by gauge attached to the oxy
gen tank. The oxygen hydrogen flame
and the stream Of oxygen strike the
same part of the metal, which, after
being heated by the fame, is rapidly
cut, or rather burned through by the
oxygen, the temperature being raised
TO 1900 or 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit
by the combustion of the metal The
cut is as smooth as a sheared cut and
requires little or no finishing. Armor
plates can be cut in one-twentieth the
time required for mechanical cutting;
and the sharply localized heating prob
ably causes less strain than punching
and shearing develop. If oxygen costs
two cents and hydrogen two-thirds Of
a cent per cubic foot, the cost of cut
ting an iron plate four-fifths of an inch
thick is about seven cents per running
foot, or about half the cost Of mechan-
ical cutting. Special machines are
constructed for cutting various OBJ,
jects. Finally there is a universal ma
chine, which can be arranged to make
curved and polygonat cuts of any pat.

effected Nv the other machines. A

H. H. King is now proprietor of the
j. H. Spratt drug store, having pur-
chased the stock and taken possession
January 1st This change has been in
the air for some time and the change
of hands has only awaited the invoicing
of the stock which is now completed.
Mr.. Spratt has made an excellent
druggist, very pleasant man to deal
with, and we are very glad to know
that he will remain in business in
Hays. AS soon as the the fixtures
arrive he will locate in the south side
of the Schultz jewelry store and will
operate strictly book and stationery
business. This is a line of business
which Hays City is in need of and as
our schools continue to grow we will
feel the greater need of such a store.
However the Spratt drug store will
still continue to be run on its high
standard by its new proprietor, Mr..
King who is registered pharmacist
and understands the drug business
thoroughly. He is a young and able
business man and will, no doubt, oper-
ate his store on up-to-date principles.
We wish him success.

Roebuck Sears.

There are ninety and nine who blew
their wads in Emporia stores each day
when they purchased their clocks or
their lightning rods, their soap or their
bales of hay; but one would send to the
roebuck sears, and he was the object of
gibes and jeers. And the ninety and
nine waxed rich and fat, and things
they bought were good; the washing
machine and the stovepipe hat, and the
watch and the cord of wood, but he
who bought of roebuck sears was al
ways plunged in a sea of tears. The
ninety and nine had wealth laid by, and
feared not the rainy day; they lived on
oysters and pumpkin pie, and life was
serene and gay; but he who bought
of the roebuck sears. had never the
price of pair of beers. The ninety and
nine know nothing worse than the
troubles we all divide; and when they
perish the smoothest hearse in town
will give them a ride; while he who
deals with the roebuck sears, will be
hauled away by pair of steers. EN-

Hays, Dec. 80, 1907.
Hall of Victory, Rebecca Lodge No. Sc,
|. O. o. F.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God, the Supreme Ruler of the Uni
verse, to remove by death from our
midst our beloved sister Mrs. Anna
Wagner, and called her home to join
the throng that has gone on before,
and, whereas, by her death this lodge
has lost one of it's most worthy and
useful members: therefore, be it re-
solved, that we bow in humble submis-
sion to Him who doeth all things well,
and bend our hearts in sorrow over the
loss we sustain in the death of our sis
ter, and extend to the husband and
family of the deceased our sincere
sympathy in this time of their affiic-
tion."

We Wish You New Years Greeting

Friends and fellow townsmen, we are
entering upon what promises to be a
red-letter year in every department of
life in Hays and Ellis county. We see
the unmistakable signs of success,
prosperity, and we trust happiness;
and the part YOU have taken material
ly, contributed to bring about the pres
ent pleasing conditions.
When the financial crisis came, busi-
ness of all kinds was paralyzed. and
everyone had an expression of doubt,
full of fear and uncertainty. After
several trips to Kansas City, l deter
mined upon trial of the clearing house
money; but at first it met with much
wheat and you met US more than half
way by accepting this new money at
par; and to YOU we owe thanks, be-
cause without your liberal cooperation
it must have failed. You gave it stand
ing and credit Our farmers felt Sc
cure in taking it, our stockmen rejoic-
ed the streets of our town were quickly
filled with many wagon loads of wheat;
your store was doing a great. business,
and phoenix like, business doomed, For
this liberal support and wise judgment
on your part, our farmers and mer-
chants may well be glad. You found
this new medium of circulation a splen-
did thing and your pocketbooks began
to swell, so that religiously, education
ally and commercially, we again pros
pered, for we know that without finan-
cial prosperity ll:these other interests
suffer.
One more thought and l have done.
1t is this: Let us know but one pull for
1908. Viz: PULL TOGETHER FOR HAYS,
our county seat, her churches, schools
and higher standard of social life, and
we should ever remember that there is
reposed in each one of US the respon-
sibility of intelligent manhood, a hand
and brain to meet every need. Let
us all do our duty.
Yours truly,

obituary-Mrs Anna Wagner.

Mrs. Anna Wagner who died at her
home in the Banner property on Lau-
rel Hill last Friday morning, was born
in Hays April 1, 1884. She received
her education in the public schools of
this city and was married to VIM. Wag-
ner June z, 1905. She was the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Meyer
of this city. She was afflicted with
diabetes year ago and Mr.. Wagner
took her to Excelsior Springs a couple
months this summer and she recuper-
ated somewhat. Since then, however,
she has been failing gradually and her
death last Friday Dec. 9th probably
came as relief to body racked with
continued illness.
Mrs. Wagner was member of the
Presbyterian church of this city and
was singularly sweet-spirited Chris
tian and during the days OF her better
health was conscientious worker III
the church. Hen soul has now passed
on to its reWard-to that happy land
where "there is no sickness or pain. -
She leaves to mourn her loss, hus-
band, baby boy of about two years,
her parents, two sisters and one broth
er.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Brown from the Presbyterian
church at 2 p. m. Sunday. The services
were so largely attended by sympa-
thetic mourners that standing room
in the church was not available. The
remains were laid to rest in Mt Allen
Cemetary.
