Now that snmmer time and dog
days" are just ahead. everybody who
spends summers" az home. Is con-
sidering how to simplify things and
get the most comfort out OF an un-
comfortable situation.
We interview the ice-man; order
thin clothes; plan 10 ease up here
and relax there; but more than like
~ forget the one most important
item In the whole hot-weather
scheme--some means OF doing the
family cooking without the insuifer-
able heat OF a coal nre in the kit
chen.
Everyone with experience knows
how tiresome II Is 70 stay IN a stuffy
room 10 prepare a meal. let alone the
doing OF a big baking But every
one doesn't know how very easy
Il Is 10 change a hot kitchen 20 a
cool one. and do better cooking at
the same time. Just add 10 your
list OF summer conveniences a New
Perfection Wick Blue Flame OIL
Cook-stoye and you've done al that
any one ean DO 10 lessen hot weather
discomfort
Wouldn't Il be fine OF a SIMMER
morning to step In the kitchen. put
on the kettle. broil the steak. bake
the mullins. filter the coffee and give
the breakfast call in one-fourth the
time you'd take to do Il all on a
coal stove?
And wouldn't Il be fine 20 be as
cool when the breakfast was pre-
pared as when you FIRST entered the
Kitchen
People who have tried Il say that
the New Perfection oil Stove actually
does everything in the line Of cook
ing and domestic service without
overheating the room or the worker
Undoubtedly the reason Is 70 be
found in the blue fame principle on
which the stove works.
A cylindrical chimney concentrates
the heat al the stove top and In this
way prevents surface radiation az
in a coal or wood stove
II Is easy 20 see that this lessons
very much the matter OF personal
discomfort IN summer housekeeping
so don't forget the New Perfection
Oil stove in your summer plans and
you will have a comfortable kitchen
aud the best eOOk-stove In the world

THOMAS A. EVANS
LOSES HIS LIFE
Drowned i'm Long Tom Thursday
While Driving Logs

Drowned in Long Tom Thursday
While Driving logs.
Elimira, Or, Mar. 20.-Thomas A.
Evans, who lives eight miles west of
here, was drowned near that place
Thursday morning about 10 O'Clock.
while helping bring his drive OF logs
down to the Elmira lumber mills.
The accident occurred within half
mile of the mill while breaking
jam.
Bert Tnm2n and Ross Huston we're
about so yards above Evans around
the bend in the creek. The jam had
been broken and Evans was riding
the logs down while the other men
had taken the boat to pull in the
loose logs from the bank. They
heard a splash but as the trees over
hung the river, they thought II was
a limb that had caught in the food.
Then they heard yell or what
seemed like yell. and they halloed
to Hans Rude who was about 75
yards below where Evans went in
and he answered. They asked II he
was all right and he said yes. They
supposed Il was Evans and they
went on with the work of pulling
the logs in. A half hour later they
went down the river 10 where Rude
was and asked where Evans was.
Rude geplied that he had not seen
him, then It dawned on them that
the cry was from Evans and not
Rude. and search for his body was at
once begun. Ross Huston ran to the
mill to give the alarm. a team with
lumber to make a raft, and Crap
pling hooks was dispatched to the
scene and about 40 men gathered
to hunt for the body. They found
Evans peavy where he had fallen In
and at $40 D. m. the body was re-
covered about as yards below where
Il went In. The body was taken to
Bert Inman's residence. II was
found unnecessary TO hold an in
quest as the fact OF his drowning
being wholly accidental was fully es-
tablished.
Thos. A. Evans was a well known
and highly respected citizen OF Eli
mira country and experienced in log
driving. How he came to lose his
life will. perhaps. forever remain a
mystery.
Deceased was brother-in-law OF
Y. T. Fisk. was so years old. and

through into the end of the tunnel extend
ing from the New York side last night,
but the two ends were not connected until
today.
So accurate were the measurements of
the engineers that the ends came together
with variation of only three -eghths of
an inch.
This system of tunnels under the East
river will connect the Long Island rail-
road with the Pennsylvania railroads S
terminal now being constructed at 33d

SLAIN WITH AN Ak
WOMAN MURDERED BY JEAL.
GUS LUMBERJACK.

BINGHAM. Me. February 21.-James
A. Deane broke into the home Of Charles
Mckay at West Forks. % miles north of
Bingham, shortly before midnight last
night, mortally wounded Mrs. Mckay
with an ak, after chasing her to the yard
of a neighboring house. and then COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat.
Deane, who was thirty years old, came
from Princeton, Me-, two years ago,
and was employed in numbering camps.
Mrs. Mckay was twenty years old, and
had been married three years.
When Deane appeared at Mrs. Mckay's
house he asked if man named Dauth-
eney was there. Mrs. Mckay said there
was not. and then Deane picked up an
AK and broke open the door. AS he did
so Mrs! Mckay rushed past him and fled
toward the house Of a neighbor.
Overtaking her Deane struck her in the
back of the neck with the AK. She fell
and Deane struck her repeatedly with
the instrument on the head and neck.
Survives Her Slayer.
/ Thinkir that he had killed her Deane
then cut his own throat with a knife,
death resulting almost instantly.
Mrs. Mckay lived for nearly an hour
afterward.
1t is believed that Deanes act was
prompted by jealousy. He was seen an
hour before the crime. and at that time
did not show any evidence of having
been drinking.
