Solution that Will Destroy the Burn
ing Qualities of Fire.
COMPOUND OFFERED BY TURNER
secret Comes Observation-Disclosures
Suit Brought by Doctor to En-
force Payment of His Fire
Insurance.

II you happen to be anything OF a chem
list. here's the chance of a lifetime-per-
haps.
DIR. Duncan Turner has revealed on the
witness stand in district court the in
gradients of a preparation which will abso-
lutely prevent fire. Just spray walls.
floor and furniture with this wondrous
mixture and fire is absolutely helpless.
But DIR. Turner did not reveal the pro-
portions of the mixture and the formula
is a secret locked in his bosom. Wherefore
anyone wishing to rob him Of this great
money making chance must experiment for
himself.
DR.. Turner has a suit on before Judge
Day for $500 against the Columbia Fire
Insurance company. DIR. Turner had a
memorable fire some months ago, on ac-
count Of which the veterinary went TO an
other court room. The jury said Not
guilty" s-.t at
Then the insurance company betrayed
some reluctance to settle and so DR. Turner
brought suit.
He has now gone on the stand himself
and explained why wicker chairs and
baskets and other combustible furniture
did not burn, although the flames con-
sumed LOO pounds of wooden lankets and
clothing, all to the value OF $1,000.
Nor did the ceiling burn and the floor
escaped and the walls, An these, explained
DR.. Turner, had been ~thoughtfully sprayed
with this Anti-Firene. But he did not
spray the wooden blankets and the clothing.
What" inquired Attorney Halleck F..
Rose, ARE the ingredients of this won
derful preparation" ..,,..
DIR. Turner did not wish to tell, but a
to-. Later the court allowed him to be
silent as to the exact formula on the
ground that It is a trade secret.
DIR. Turner then said:
ut is made up of bicarbonate of soda,
hydrochloric acid and water"
Fire insurance adjusters and special rate
makers are not unanimously enthusiastic
over DR.. Turner's discovery. e"

EARLY settler Mt superior.

SUPERIOR, Neb., jan. 26.-(Special)-
James Hunter, aged SO years, 8 months
and 6 days, was buried here. He came to
Nebraska in 1858 and located in Superior
in 1875. He was among the first settlers
of this town, hauling the lumber from
Edgar; that was long before there was a
railroad running into Superior. With his
brother Alex, who is still living in this
city, he opened a general store here about
1875. They also operated a store at Rub
ems, Kan, just across the state line. At
that time Rubens was the most promising
town in the whole country and the wise
ones said it would be the commercial cen
ter of southern Nebraska and northern
Kansas, But today Rubens is simply a
country store without even a postoffice.
The Hunter brothers conducted their store
here until a few years ago, when they
sod to two sons of Alex Hunter, who
recently closed out the stock.

Interurban After Franchise.

FREMONT, Neb., Jan. 26,-(Special.)- At
the regular meeting of the city council last
evening a petition vas presented by the
Nebraska Transportation company, the or
ganization which expects to build an inter-
urban line between Omaha and Fremont,
for a franchise. The proposed line will
enter the city on Third street, running west
to II street, thence north on II street to
Military avenue and thence west on Mill
tary avenue to the city limits, with a branch
up Park avenue to the city park, the road
to be operated by electricity or other power
than steam locomotive and the fare within
the city limits to be 5 cents. The matter
was referred to a special committee OF the
council and the city attorney. There seems
to be the opinion among many here tina
some provisions should be inserted in the
ordinance by which sooner or later the
company should pay the city something for
the franchise.

EIkhorn Threatens Yards.

ARLINGTON, Neb., Jan, 26,-(special.)-
The Elkhorn is cutting toward one of the
lakes west of this city and when about 200
feet more is cut the main hanne will
enter this lake and probably cut through
the park and local railroad yards of the
Northwestern. The ice is very thick and II
is feared that the spring thaw will cause
much damage to bridges and land along
the river. Should this river change its
channel by entering this lake 1t is very
likely hat the Chicago and Northwestern

bridge would be left on dry land.
