ployment and lack of funds, William
Aero, twenty years old, of No. 181
Grant street, shot himself twice In

ces Bunishe. He had been out OF
work for about two .-onths and had
no money, 1t is claimed. Complaints
had often been made OF late by the
Respondent young man because or
his financial condition and espe-
cially because he could not find em-
ployment, 1t was stated at the Bum
lishe home today. He was found In
an unconscious condition In the
snow just outside of the gate in the
rear of his home. Near him was
found a new thirty-two calibre re-
volver, containing five cartridges,
two of which had been exploded.
One bullet has been found lodged
behind the mans left eye, by DR..
Meinzer, the attending physician.
The other has not been discovered

Patrolman Bachman at Smith stgeat t
and Davidson avenue at 1880 o.
clock this morning and notified him
that her brother had just shot him
self. The officer found Aero lying
in bed with blood running from two
wounds in his cheeks. DIR. Meinzer
, was summoned, after which the man
| was removed to the city hospital.
Just prior to the shooting, Mrs.
Bunishe, together with Alex Bodon-
ski. Steve Morgich and other board
ers in the Bunishe home were sound
asleep. Some time between IL and
1880 o'clock the boarders were

Heard Two Shots.
Mrs. Bunishe informed Patrolmax
| Bachmann that her brother had
quietly arisen from bed, dressed and
went out of the back door about
midnight and that the boarders
heard two shots fired short time
afterward. The officer investigated
the spot where the man had fallen
and reports that there were no foot
prints near the pool of blood other
than those OF the man himself, and
none near where the revolver was
| found.
The wounds in the mans cheeks
| indicate that he shot himeslf with
the revolver In one hand and then
placed it in the other hand and
fired again in the opposite direction.
The holes In each of his cheeks in
dicate that the bullets took an up
ward course.

Of June Z, 1906, was designed TO do.
II will make it possible for every farm
er in the United States to turn the
waste products of his farm into de-
natured alcohol.
The people supposed the law OF
1906, which followed long agitation,
would accomplish this result. But
this law was so craftily drawn in a
senate then under the influence of the
special interests thai the law has been
a sham and a mockery. To comply
with the provisions Of this law and
attendant regulations would cost the
farmer at the least estimate S12,50O
for a denatured still.
The pending amendment wipes out
all the restrictions. a few dollars will
pay for a denaturing still which will
comply with the law. The formula for
the denaturing fluid will be fixed by
regulation by the commissioner of in.
ternal revenue, but the law will per.
nit the return of the denaturant 10
the farmer for use again and again
And that other hampering provision
in the present law-the bond of $4,000
which the smallest distiller is requir
ed to giye--is abrogated by the amend
ment.

achievement for DR.. Harry Lane, the
new senator from Oregon. have Tor
several months past been advocating
the proposition Of DR.. Lanes amend
ment being Incorporated in the tarif
bill, having written a series Of letters
10 that end, as readers of this news
paper Will recall. The adoption OF
this amendment makes me feel well
repaid indeed, because believe it will
prove of great value to the farmers
Of this country.
II DR.. Lane had been one OF those
unobservant persons who go through
life with their eyes shut, this story
might never have been written. While
he was campaigning in Oregon last
fall he saw thousands of bushels Of
apples rotting on the ground for want
of market He wondered why they
were not made into denatured alcohol,
remembering, as he did, the great pre-
dictions that were made for the law
Of 1906. He inquired, and found the
law so full of jokers favorable to the
Z AAlSACSNS anu inc 1NOANNA -
Oil company as TO preclude the manu-
! facture of alcohol by farmers.
IF the amendment becomes law, II
will offer wonderful opportunity TO
! the American farmer, and one which
he will not be slow TO take advantage
Of" said Dr.. Lane Alcohol will be
the coming fuel Why, just the prod
ucts which go to waste every year on
American farms have a value greater
! than the entire annual coal output of
/ the country, greater than the annual
production OF oil. Corn stalks that
remain in the field after husking con-
tain sufficient alcohol to make a very
! profitable yield to farmers.
THE secret of great success in the
manufacture is the utilization of by
/ products. But that greatest of indus
tries, farming, has been unable to util
ize its by-products.
Wherever coal, kerosene or gaso
line is used, alcohol can be used. With
a slightly changed carbure- er il can be
burned in any gasoline engine. 1t car
substitute for coal for heating, for ker
osene for lighting and for gasoline for
flower And the residue left after dis
tillation is a finer fertilizer than if the
entire crop had been plowed back into
the SOIL"
