Great Rend (Special). Tortured
by robbera who Bought $1,000 which
they knew he had received, William
Hartley, an old farmer of Olenwood,
Pa., is In a serious condition. The
burglars beat their victim until he
was almost unconscious, and then
placed his bare feet on a red-hot
plowshare.
Hartley Is one of the best-known
men In the vicinity of Olenwood,
and is oomfortablv well of.
A few days ag' he received $1.
000 for a lar Dock -f sheep. Not
wishing to heap such a ,'rgo amount
Df moii"; in his hom. u id bring
wme that many persons haii known
f his sale, he sent his daughter to
Monrose with Instructions to deposit
the cash In bank and return tj the
farm the following day.
That evening three masked men
knocked at the door of the Hartley
farmhouse. When the door was
Dpened they rushed in, leveled re
volvers at the head of the old man
xnd demanded the $1,000.
"I sent It to bank," replied Hart
ey. "That's a lie. Show us where It
is concealed or we will kill you,"
ame the retort.
In vain Hartley protected that he
iv as telling the truth. A blow on
:he head convinced the farmer that
the robbers were desperate, and he
:rled that he was telling the truth.
While one of the men guarded lilm
the other two ransacked tne house,
but failed to find the money.
"We'll burn you alive unless you
?lvo us that money," shouted one of
tils assailants.
Then one man went outside and
sot the plowshare. It was placed In
the fire and heated. The scrorinilug
farmer was dragged to the hearth
ind his bare feet pressed to the red
hot surface. He cried for mercy, but
he thieves did not"heed him.
Finally. In his agony he fnin'erl,
and the hot Iron was removed. Sev
"ral more efforts were made to com
pel the farmer to produce the mon
if, and finally, convinced that Hart
ley was telling the truth, his assail
ants left him. They took with them
$8.60 which they found in a bureau.
Two men were arrested charged
with being in the plot. They are
William Wandell and Oscar Piatt,
both known In the neighborhood.

Pittsburg (Special). That the af
fairs of the Cosmopolitan National
Rank are in excellent condition was
made plain, when State Treasurer
Sbeatz came here fom HarrUburg,
spent several hours In the bank and
afterward announced that he had
nothing to fear regarding the $500,
000 State deposit. The deposit, he
declared, was amply secured, but he
was satisfied, In addition, that the
bank will be able to pay dollar for
dollar.
After a long meeting of the direc
tors of the hank, Vice President E.
A. Kitzmiller issued a statoment in
which he declared that collateral ap
proximating almost $1,000,000 had
been pledged to secure the deposi
tors. There is now in cash about
50 per cent, of the deposits, und,
according to Mr. Kitzmiller, "there
can be no reasonable doubt that ev
ery depositor will be puid In full."
He confirmed the report that the
bank would likely be consolidated
with some other bank.
Officials of the Mt. Washington
Savings & Trust Company Issued a
statement to the effect that every de
positor would be paid off and the
concern continued as a trust company.

Harrisburg (Special). "The fu
ture annual coal production In Penn
sylvania will continue for many years
at probably 200,000 tons," says Chief
of Mines James E. Roderick In his
report on the mining Industry of the
Keystone State which has Just been
Issued. "It Is estimated that 7,000,
000,000 tons still remain unmlned
in the anthracite region and in the
bituminous region. While no esti
mates have been made, the supply
at the present rate of consumption
will no doubt last several hundred
years."
"The Pennsylvania mining Indus
try Is in most excellent condition,"
continues Chief Roderick. "The
equipment and management of most
of the mlnps are up to dale, and
great effort has been made In recent
years to render the mines safe. The
record of 1907 in the coal trade was
especially remarkable. The produc
tion In Pennsylvania reached the un
usual volume of 23K.61 r.49 net tons
of which the bituminous region pro
duced 149, BBS, 047 tons and the an
thracite region 86.056,412. The
production Is five times as great as
that of any State In the I'nlon and
over 83 per cent, of the tonnage of
Oreat Britain. The tonnage of the
world Is estimated at 1 .?00.300,000
tons for 1907. The United States
produced 469.866.266 tons,"

Rucks County, the railroad compan
ies revised their tariffs, In another
instance. Involving the charge for

family and friends searched for her
In vain. It seeni3 that while on her
way home she took the wrong path

Washington, D. C. TJncle Sam, en
riched $5 00,000,000 by the provisions
of the Aldrlch-Vreeland currency bill,
now has so much money on hand that
he cannot wait for the construction ot
new vaults In the Treasury Building,
but has rented rooms in a storage
building and placed relays of guards
on the Inside and outside. This vast
amount of money may never be used,
but so large a sum is necessary to
supply the 6824 national banking In
stitutions in the United States in case
of a financial stringency.
Deputy Treasurer Bentz reported
that the available cash reserve in the
Treasury was $190,000,000, the high
est figure it has reached this year.
He is of the opinion that the possi
bility of a stringency this year is over,
and that the crops can be moved with- j
out the slightest difficulty. "Condi
tions are vastly different this year,"
he said, "not only in New York, but
throughout the country. New York
banks have millions and millions of
surplus1 on hand, while a year ago
they were struggling with scarcely j
the legal requirements. Money, in
stead of being In great demand at '
high prices, is very easy on call at
from three-fourths to one per cent.
In the West the banks are all well
supplied with currency, and will be
able to do more than their usnal
share toward moving the crops. From i
every direction signs ot increased
prosperity are seen. Small bills are
In great demand, which is always a
good sign."

THE WARSHIP OF THE FUTURE.
Prediction of an Knalneer of the Ideological survey-He nelleve
Oaa Entlnea win Be Installed In Naval Vessel In the Next
Few Years, Wblcta Will Make Them Smokeleta,
Noiseless Craft and Reduce Coal Bill.
Washington, D. C. The war vessel
of the future will be a swift, smoke
less, nolselesB craft, lying low in the
water, with every vulnerable part be
low the water line, the entire deck
being for the work of the guns. There
will be no smoke, because there will
be no smokestacks. In the night
time there will be nothing to betray
the- presence of this Invincible fight
ing demon to the enemy.
This prediction was made by Rob
ert Heywood Fernald, mechanical en
gineer, who has for several years
been connected with the fuel investi
gations of the United States Geologi
cal Survey. Mr. Fernald believes
that the gas engine, or Internal com
bustion motor, as It Is called by engi
neers, will be installed In naval ves
sels of tho United States within the
next few years.
"I expect to see the United States
ahead of every other nation in this
innovation," said Mr. Fernald. "The
gas engine, in my opinion. Is feasible
on any vessel because of Its economy
over the steam engine, but it Is espe
cially desirable on the fighting ship
for the reason that It makes no
smoke. The gas is generated in a
producer which has no chimney and
needs none. The coal Is turned di
rectly into gas, which goes straight
to the engine.
"The elimination of the smoke is
sufficient to call for the installation
of the gas engine, yet there are many
other features in Its favor. The ves
sel would have a free deck for the
play of Its big guns. There would be
no towering stacks to be punctured
or destroyed, thus crippling the boat.
Then it would be unnecessary to
carry as much cobI, for the same
power can be developed with one
tblrd less than the steam engine
uses. The gas producer and the gat
engine would take up less room and
weigh less than the same powei
Scotch boiler and steam engine. The
vessel would have a radius of trave"
far greater than at present.
"Of course I do not expect to see
the gas engine confined to the use ol
the navy. The fact that it show
such economies will compel Its instal
lation in all sorts of vessels. One o
the big Items of expense to a morteri:
ocean liner Is its coal bill. These
vessels will consume 10,000 tons ol
high grade coal on a round trip. With
the gas engine this could be reduced
to 6000 or 7000 tons, a saving ol
several thousand dollars.
"One of the big steamship compa
nies of the great iakes Is about
take the Initiative in this movement.
Plans have made for a freighter that
will uso a 2000 horse power gas eu
glne. This company is making the
experiment to teBt the economy of the
gas engine over the steam engine."
The United States Geological Sur
vey has been experimenting with the
gas producer and gas engine for sev
eral years and has demonstrated that
this type of engine In a stationary
plant Is capable ot generating from
twice to three times as much power
from a given amount of coal as the
steam engine. It has also shown that
the gas engine can develop more pow
er from a low grade coal.
The purpose of the Government has
not been to develop the gas engine,
but to increase the efficiency of the
coal supply of the country, which is
now being depleted. The Govern
ment spends $10,000,000 yearly for
coal, and it was primarily to tet the
best results from this expenditure
that the investigations of the gas pro
ducer and gas engine was tsken up.

He has learned that soap leaves a
residue of its own which is, If any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener thai
will meet modern, requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es
tablishments have called experts Into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a
product of nature which exactly Alls
the bill borax.
Scientists have long known borax
as a cleanser, a sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys all that s
harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and puilty, re
lieving the dairyman and dairy house
wife of drudgery and of noedless
work and worry.
Its cheapness and value should gl-e
it first place In the necessities of
every dairy.
The cow's udder is kept in a clean,
healthy and smooth condition by
washing it with borax and water, a
tablespoonful of borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time a dread to tbe cow and
a worry to the milker.
The modern cleanser of all dairy
utensils consists of one tablespoon
ful of borax to every quart of water
needed. Remember a tablespoonful
equals four teaspoontuls.
He sure that you get pure borax.
To be sure, you must get "20 Mule
Team Horax."
All dealers. A dainty book In col
ors, called "Jingle Book," sent free to
any Mother sending name and ad
dress of ber baby, and tops from two
round cartons of ""0 Mule Team''
Package Borax, with 5c. In stamps.

Power From The Mines.
A central plant of 8,000-horse-power
Is about to be erected In tbe
midst of the bituminous cosl fields
of Indiana. It Is believed that a
large saving of expense, especially
for transportation of coal, can thua
be effected. It is intended to dis
tribute the power over a wide terri
tory direct from the mouth of the
mines. The distance from the plant
to Indianapolis will bo about 100
miles. This will Involve a small loss
of power In transmission, repairing,
according to the calculation, an in
crease of about 10 per cent. In tbe
nmount of con! consumed above what
It would be If the coal were burned
at tbe points where the power la
used. But the saving In other re
spects Is exported to much more than
counter-balance this slight disadvantage.
