A NEW FUEL FOR MOTOR CARS.
Product Is Said to Be Cheaper. and
More Powerful Than Gasoline.

Just before the Standard OH COM
pany announced the new fuel known
as motor spirit" which serves to
take the place of gasoline at % per
cent less price, Henry B. Taylor OF
the Complaining Refining company
of Warren, Pa, announced the dis
covery Of a fuel product known as
"gasene," resulting from the special
distillation Of crude oil, which pro-
duct was very similar to that an
nounced by the Standard Oil COM
pany, although produced by a pro-
cess of refining radically different.
This fuel can be sold on the mar
ket at q cost to the retail buyer at
about 75 per cent Of the regular
price of gasoline as it is now.
After this line the management
of the Abbott Motor company, whose
principal stockholders are interested
in the oil refining business in Penn
sylvania, have been conducting ex-
periments along a line different from
that followed by motor engineers in
general; namely, they have been
making a series of dynamometer
tests on motor car chassis, employing
fuel made up by mechanically
compromising the new 'gasene" Nand
motor spirit" with the commercial
grade Of kerosene oil.
The tests are not completed, but
the log sheets of the engineering
department show already that fuel
can be obtained at the present time
by combining these two that can be
purchased at retail at about nine
cents a gallon, as against about sew
enteen cents, which represents the
average retail price of gasoline at
the present time.
Notwithstanding this reduction in
price of the new fuel the thermal
value is greater than that of gaso-
line. Properties of combustion are
such that the ignition of the fuel
takes place In a graduated way, in
stead of being in the form of an
abrupt explosion. This makes it
possible to carry little higher COM
preston in the motor.

DOG IN J. Nj.
BREWERS CHICKEN YARD

The other morning when j. M.
Brewer of West Second street went
out to attend to his chickens he
found young shepherd dog in the
chicken yard which is surrounded
by a 1O-foot wire netting and no
entrance open. The dog had on
collar and strap as II he had been
led behind a wagon. The supposi-
tion is that travellers needed cou-
pie chickens and the dog followed
them into the yard. Mr.. Brewer
has no use for the dog and some
one who desires nice young shep-
herd should see him about it.

j. r. VAN WORST, FOR
MERLY OF ABILENE, SUED

John r. Van Worst, who formerly
lived in Abilene is being sued for
$4,000 damages. The suit was
brought by Walter ]. Kilburz who
says Van Worst ran him down.
On the stand in Judge Porter
fields court in Kansas City Walter
j. Kiburz described the sensations
of a man pursued by motor car.
Kiburz who is, farmer, said that
he had been chased by dog and bull.
Trivial incidents, those, he declared.
November 25, 1911, John R. Van
Worst, commission man, was driv-
ing car near st. John and Jackson
avenues. To avoid running down
woman he drove his car into the
curb. That was when Kiburz says
the car took after him.
Kiburz testified that he ran down
the sidewalk and hid behind tree.
But he told. the jury that did not
save him. The car came round in
a circle and nosed him out behind
the tree. He was thrown into the
street, he testified.

FOOTBALL GAME TO X. c.
Missouri-Kansas Game Will Prob
ably. Go Back.

The Abilene football fans will hail
with delight the news that the big
Missouri-Kansas football game will
probably be played at Kansas City,
This is the latest rumor af1oat in
football circles.
In a statement Coach Mosse says:
81 think the game will undoubtedly
be returned to- Kansas City. A game
at Columbia would not pay half as
much as game in the city and be-
sides the great majority of students
and alumni of both schools want 1t
taken back to Kansas City"
Four of next falls games will be
played in Lawrence, according to
the schedule given out by Coach
Moose. The schedule follows:
October A, st. Mary's at Lawrence
October IL, Washington univer-
sity at Lawrence.
October IT, Drake at Lawrence.

HAVE NOT FOUND ROBBERS.
Goods Have All Been Found Except
JeweIry.

The robbers who stole the goods
from the Weber store at Woodbine
Wednesday evening have not yet
been captured. All the goods stolen
have been found except the jewelry.
The goods were found in a jungle
in the northeast part of Salina and
were found by a teamster. Sheriff
HaSsler and Sheriff Anderson watch
ed the goods all night but no one
came near. One man was seen COM
ing from the river and went near
shanty where couple of men live
but he made no effort to go near
the place where the goods were hid
den.
The work is evidently that of pro-
fessionals as every precaution was
taken to cover up their tracks. The
hand car was burned, presumably to
throw off the scent in case the blood
hounds were used. The officers will
keep up their search as they believe
this is the work Of an organized
gang.

CATTLE CASE GOES BACK
TO STATE TAX COMMISSION

The case as to the taxation OF the
cattle which were shipped from this
county February 2S and sold in Chi
cago March 3rd was up before the
commissioners this morning. The
owners of the cattle appeared and
asked to have the case referred back
to the state tax commission, which
was done. About ten cars OF cattle
were shipped and were not listed
for, taxation. The question now Is
where are they to be taxed. When
the case first came up County AS
SCISSOR Close referred it to the tar
commissioners and they ordered
them assessed here. 1t will now be
taken up formally by them and 9
decision rendered officially.

LIST NOT TO BE PUBLIC.
County Clerk King Will Follow Rul-
ing of Attorney General.


With the time near at hand when
the express companies and other
common carriers must file the names
of the persons who received ship
ments of liquor in Dickinson county
with the county clerk, that official
has announced that he will not make
the list public.
Mr.. King considered the matter
for some time before reaching a
decision, but finally considered it
would be best to conform to the ad-
vice of the attorney general which
was to the effect that 1t would not
be advisable TO open the list to pub
lie inspection.
The attorney general and the Ma
hin law are at variance upon this
subject. The law expressly states
that the list Of liquor shipments
shall be public record. General
Dawson has given it as his opinion
that it will be advisable not to open
the list to any but officers of the
law.
The county clerk of Shawnee
county has announced that his poll
cy will be a middle ground between
the letter of the law and the advice
of the attorney general. He will
not allow persons actuated merely
by curiosity to get at the records,
but will allow anyone who has
valid reason to see them.
Il have been little uncertain
as to just what policy to pursue"
said Mr.. King, "but / finally reach
ed the conclusion that the best thing
to do will be to conform to the adj
vice Of the attorney general"
The companies will be required to
begin making returns by June 1.
