Woolens

Place woolens in a tub of warm
water, which should never be above
blood heat, the most soiled at the
bottom, and allow them to soak ten
minutes. Never RUB soap on
woolens. After they have soaked
sufficiently, add enough Galvanic
solution to make suds. Rub the
most soiled spots, and put through
two changes of luke-warm water,
then run them through a tight
wringer, pull them into shape, and
hang them up to dry. When they
have dried shake them thoroughly
to raise the nap. Woolens should
never be dried by fire.

A plan, which many furniture man

used. is to design the article in such
manner that the wide pieces may he

desk tops. The tops were firmly cleai-
ed on the bottom, held to place as well
as any other wood, and gave good sa.-
isfaction. This lumber had been stand
ing on the sticks for about year.
Another manufacturer, who uses red
gum for drawers and paneling
guarded against the tendency to shrink
and swell by the application of
couple of coats of shellac inside and
out. and found that the wood behaved
itself as well as any that could have
been used. In this instance, plain
sawed gum was employed. and plain
sawed material ordinarily gives mcre
trouble than quarter sawed.
The real problem for the consuming
trade Is to study these questions, and
| to devise ways to guard against the
difficulties encountered. If gum shows
tendency to warp, why not reinforce
1t in some way? When it is used IN

Building Depends on Court.-An ap-
of the late W. c. Putnam was filed by
Lane & Watersan and Cooke & Dodge
in the district court yesterday after
noon. The court is asked to authorize
the trustees under the will to borrow
the money necessary to build the pro-
posed eight story fireproof office build
ing at Second and Main streets. Plans
for the building have been drawn and
the loan has been approved, when it
was found necessary to meet the tech
nical point raised by the financial in
terests, that an order of court authoriZ-
ing the borrowing by the trustees of
the large amount of money needed
would be essential The case hinges
on the construction of the provision
of the will providing that, until the
last of his brothers and sisters is de.
ceased, the North Putnam building
shall not be sold. Mr.. Putnam did
stipulate. however. that it should ne

without borrowing money. Attention

BIG Theft
OF AMALGAM AT RAWhlpE Is
CHARGED AGAINST DR.. GAR
Err APPOINTMENT PHYSICIAN.

| RAWHIDE, April 1.-THE man
agement of the Weiss Mill, one of the
local reduction plants on the fiat be-
low own, yesterday reported to the
local police authorities that amalgam.
the result of a recent cleanup OF
their mill had been stolen.
The exact value of the amalgam
could not be given, but it is esti-
mated to be worth from $4,000 to
100000.
Suspicion soon attached itself to
Dr. ). l.. Garner, prominent local
physician. who had recently bonded
the Lucky Strike-Gold Pen property
and having the oyP-sextracted treated
by the Weiss mill
A misunderstanding arose between
the owners of the property and DR..
Garner, respecting payments to be
made on the property, and as far as
know locally DR.. Garner had given
up hope of arriving at an equitable
agreement which did nOL exist under
contract or option for purchase
Search for Dr. Garner revealed the
fact hat he had left town early in
the morning and had probably head
ed south.
The authorities at once chartered
an auto and started in hot pursuit.
He was traced to SchurZ and i'm
mediately placed under arrest. He
was searched but no part of the
treasure was found in .lIs belongings.
A mounted messenger mas left here,
bound for SchurZ with search war
rants.
The authorities have clue on
which they have been working since
they failed to find the amalgam in
the custody of DR.. Garner and the
search warrants will be freely used
in running every clue to earth.
