The United States postal department
Is having all of the mail cars ON the

FIBER TO REPLACE COTTON.
German Experiments With kapok
Tree Said to Be Successful.


Tree Said to Be Successful.
Owing to the high price of cotton
the German textile experts have been
turning their attention to other fibers
that might be used as substitutes for
it. Recently spinning company at
ChemnitZ, Germany. has succeeded in
spinning the fiber contained in the
seeds of the kapOk or silk cotton tree
of the tropics
In its natural state this fiber can
not be spun. owing TO its extreme brit
tleneSs, but Professor Goldberg of
Chemnitz has found a method of
treating it to make it spinnable, and
the yarn IL described as having a pc
culiarly soft. silky feeling.
The fiber has hitherto been in use
as a padding material for furniture
and in making pillows and similar ar
ticles. and II has answered this pur-
pose so well that the cultivation of
the tree has already been introduced
into the German colonies of New
Guinea and East Africa.
The fiber has the advantage Of be-
ing considerably cheaper than cotton,
but no information is at hand show
ing the wearing qualities of fabrics
made from kapok yarn.

The loss will be heavy one to
both Bishop ana Morgan, as neither
had insurance. Mr. Bishop left some
time ago for Custer county, where he
formerly resided. for the purpose of
visiting relatives and to bring his ina.
chinery home. His goods were stored
in a portion of the house and Mr. Nor
gan occupied the other portion.
MIR. and Mrs. Morgan did not save
thing, even losing their personal
effects, extra clothing, etc. Mrs. Nor
gan when she found 1t impossible to
put out the fire, ran to the neighbors
for help, but when the help arrived
the house was in ashes.
The fire is believed to have been
caused from ashes dumped too near
the frame structure.

bonds for 81 900. In his decision Judge
Eiseley stated he has been given or
ders by the mayor of Norfolk to pun
ish those brought before him for shoot

man first were filed by George Fox,
who charged her with shooting at him
with a revolver intending to shoot and
wound him. When the case came up
before Justice Eiseley Fox refused to
testify. James Nichols, county attor'
ney, Immediately filed new charges
against her and made a strong plea
for prosecution.
Jack Koenigstein, attorney for the
defendant, declared the shooting was
not In fun but for the purpose OF
frightening Fox. The prosecution
brought in photographs of the lngham
house. Fox was a strong witness for
the state. He admitted that the Ing
ham woman helped him purchase his
cab, also that when he came to the
house to deliver letter a row started
over the refusal of one of the inmates
to give him the delivery fee of q
cents. He said he was struck over
the head with beer bottle and over
the face with a cuspidor

testified that, although she shot tC
brighten Fox away, she did not intend
to wound him. The bullet, however
