EMPTY TREASURY FOR TAFT.

Some of the finaneiers and specula-

citation Of Mr.. Bryan last fall and spent
their waking hours in telling of the
good times to come in case Taft were

present condition of affairs. They have
turned upon the present administration,

in state until after the Inauguration of
Mr.. Taft, according to these same fell

Blue gas is the name of a new
'lluminant introduced in Germany. 1t
is described as follows: The gas is
delivered in liquid form, in such
shape that IT may be used in closed
rooms in hanging burners, giving from
% 70 1000 candle power. To use the
gas, all that is necessary is to pour
the liquid from the steel cylinders, in
which 1t is delivered, into the gas
ometer. This is almost as convent
ent as having ones own gas plant, for
one can protect himself against acct
dents at the factory or delays in

There was about DR.. Gilmore so
