Washington, d. c., Dec. when,
last fall, the seed warehouse of the

knows, wen through, and this week it

FIRE AT D r.
Orchard Opera House Cafe and Bar
Burned Sunday Morning.

Lander, Wyo., Jan. THE Orchard
opera house bar and cafe burned to
the ground at an early hour Sunday
morning, involving a loss of at least
$4,000, about one-half of which was
covered by insurance. The Women
of Woodcraft gave a children's mas.
querade ball in the hall Saturday
night and it is thought that the fire
caught from a superheated fiue, as it
broke out at 4 o'clock, a couple of
hours after the dance broke up. The
opera house bar boosted of the finest
collection of mounted wild game heads
in the state if not in the entire coun-
try, one very fine freak elk head being
valued at mo than $500 alone. The
flames burned so swiftly and had made
such a Roadway when discovered that
nothing whatever was saved, even
the cash register being burned.

Roman Numerals for Year To Be Drop
ped from New ST. Gaudens Coins.

Washington, D. c., Jan. with the
close of business hours on December
81, the United States mint at Phila-
delphia stopped coming the famous st.
Gaudens gold coins with the date
printed in Roman numerals. AS soon
as new dies can be made, the minting
for this year will be resumed, but the
date will hereafter be in Arabic-just
plain 1905" SO that everyone can
read it ~intelligently without IN
dertaking mental calisthenics. This
change is not to be made as the result
OF the many criticisms which have
been directed against the new coins,
but is made necessary by reason OF
the fact that MCMVII has one too
many figures to go on the coin as des,
ignated. Owing to this reversion to
the old style date, it is expected that
the coins of the new issue will be even
more highly priced han heretofore.
Not a few of the curious ones who Sc
cured two Or three of the first issue as
souvenirs were persuaded to part
with them at a premium of from 10 to
25 per cent, but some were far-sighted

NEW SENSATION IN
YARMOUTH CASE
CLAIM SO-CALlED MARRIAGE IL.
LEGAL AND CEREMONY
WITHOUT EFFECT.
License Issued Without Presence of
Woman and Man Signed Courtesy
Title Instead of Correct Name
Earl Missed Arrest on Day of Wed
ding BY Squaring Account.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. Miss Alice
Thaw and the Earl of Yarmouth were
never legally married." is the startling
statement now made here by certain
lawyers and attaches of the marriage
license bureau. While they admit thai
the illegality of the marriage is based
on technicalities, they declare that the
English courts must see there is no
need to annul such a marriage, be-
cause Alice Thaw is a single woman
and always has been. The basis for
this belief is this:
Bride Not Present.
When the marriage license was TAX
en- out Yarmouth went to the office I'M
accompanied by any member of the
Thaw family. The law states distinct,
.ly that the bride-to-be must either be
present or must be represented by
her guardian or a parent. The earl
gave his name as George Francis Alex
ander Seymour, but he signed the
docket only with his courtesy title
yarmouth" so the lawyers argue that
he never signed his name to the dock
ct. as the law requires. and that the
license was issued illegally.
Miss Thaw Signs.
Further, on the day of the wedding
a clerk in the marriage license office
took the docket to Lyndhurst, where
Miss Alice Thaw signed it. The at
torneys claim this would be ample
ground Upon which to declare the mar
riage void, for under the Pennsylvania
law a minister cannot marry a couple
unless the license has been properly
taken out.
Barely Escaped Arrest.
1t is also stated by William j. Nor.
ris, a constable, that the scarf had a
narrow escape from going to Jail on
the day of the wedding, when he was
actually taken into custody by two
constables on a deb attachment at
his rooms, and only released when
some member of the Thaw family pro.
duced a check for $4,000 in satisfac.

NEW KIND OF THREsHER.
Minnesota Man Invents Separator With
Gasoline Engine Combined.

GaSoIlne Engine SOInDIUSOs
Fergus Falls Mimi, Oct. 23.-Halvor
O. Sageng of Dalton has invented a
threshing machine which is attracting
general attention. He has been a mis-
sionary in Madagascar six years, re-
turning to this> country about six
months ago. Before going to the mis-
sion field he was engineer on thresh-
ing outfit and made a thorough study
Of such machines. During his long ex-
lie in Madagascar, he pondered deeply
on the question of inventing different
type of machine from that in ordinary
use, and on his return to America pro-
ceeded to work out his ideas.
The result is that he has just COM
pleted an entirely new type of thresher.
in which the engine and separator are
one. The engine is a forty eight horse
power gasoline engine, and is built into
the front of the separator, forming a
part of it. The separator is built on
the same general principles as an ordi-
nary separator, but has several i'm
provements. 1t has double cylinder.
which will, tend to thresh the straw
more thoroughly than the ordinary ma
chine, and the feeder, which is M. Sag
eng's own invention, is decided i'm
provement over the feeders ordinarily
in use.
The fact that the engine is built into
the separator makes it possible to move
the machine without horses, thus over
coming one of the most serious objec-
lions to the use Of the gasoline engine
in running threshing machines.
The entire machine-separator and
engine-is covered with a sheet steel
instead Of wood. thus removing the
danger of fire. The machine is only a
few inches higher than the ordinary
separator, and is about two feet long
er. The cost of manufacture will be
only a little more than the ordinary sep
arator, thus saving the cost of an en-
CINE The expense of operating will al
so be less, as there will be no occasion
for a fireman or water wagon, and the
feeding arrangement is such that two
men will be saved there
If the machine sustains the claims Of
the inventor, the threshing machines
now in use will be relegated to the junk
heap in a few years. A practical test
is to be made on the Fossen farm in a
few days.

follows:
st. Paul Farmer: Perhaps short

Low Perches.

May be all right in warm country,
and we surely recommend these to be
not over two or three feet high for the
heat of summer, but it is simply cruel
in the dead OF winter to have poultry
shivering on low down roosts when
higher lp it is comfortable, at least
much warmer. SO many seem to think
q hen roost must stay where it is first
put, year after year, when no hen
roosts in n northern country should re-
main permanent all the year round
even. 1t Is just as easy to make roosts
portable as otherwise. and If so made
1t Is little trouble to have them low In
summer and high in winter.
To be sure, some of the very heavy
hens, and old ones, find 1t difficult to
get onto the high roosts, but we have
no use for q hen on the farm that
finds fault with getting onto and off
from a reasonably high roosting place.
Even If they do, it is not difficult to
have a few short lower roosts on
which such birds can fly up and down
easily on the way to the higher ones.
Have the roosts round, too, and not
flat. A fiat roost is hard on the mus
Giles of a. birds feet and next to I'M
possible to keep clean. While roosts
should be nearly on the level, If act
fallv so. the first hens up will stay on
the first roost. A very little slant Will
induce them to move on.
