A WONDERFUL DIS
COVERY IF TRUE
MAY ENTER BUSINESS HERE.
i
"Walter Johnson, of Lincoln, was
in the city yesterday interviewing
the Western Machine and Foundry
Company, regarding the construction
of a boiler cr tank, for a machine
which he has recently invented for
the purpose of refining-coal oil, or
transforming it into a fuel for auto
mobiles. Mr. Sharpe of the Wes
tern Machine and Fouudry Com
pany, does not make boilers and
Mr. Johnson therefore departed for
Omaha where he will endeavor to
have 'a boiler made. The capacity
of the machine which he expects to
have built will be 50,000 gallons
every twenty-four hours, and the
work will be done by electricity,
heating the enclosed oil to from
12 GO to 2,000 degrees, vaporizing
the portion which is desired
fuel, and the other, runnin
into another tank in the shape of
coal tar, or carbon. Mr. Johnson
says it will cost about one cent per
gallon for operating the machine.
The work is done mostly by elec
tricity, and the product is called
Klectrolite. and has the consistency
of Wood Alcohol, and is composed
similar, but has, in addition to the
ingredients of Wood Alcohol, some
oil. which wood alcohol does not
have. Mr. Johnson who tried some
of the product in a car running it
611 afternoon Sunday claims that
it gave better remits than gasoline,
and was entirely void of carbon,
.working with a cofter sputter at
the same time producing an abund
ance of power.
Earnev Feinstein. of Omaha, a
brother-in-law of R. M. Schlaes, who
for a long time conducted the movie
shaw here, is in the city today look

pose of his visit here.

IA TRADE OR NOT A
TRAGE, QUESTION
From Friday's Daily.
We remember when we were a
boy, and sometimes traded knives or
marbles, we would say "Red leath
er trade forever," and then we
thought the trade was made for good
unless our parents took a hand in it,
when we would have to abide by
their findings. Well, you know men
are only boys grown tall, anyway.
T. L. Amick sold a car to Chris
topher Murray, a Ileo, and took a
Ford in exchange as part payment
thereon and a note for the difference
which amounted to ?o00.u0. That
was day before yesterday, and later
that evening Mr. Murray returned
dissatisfied with the bargain, and
wished some other kind of a trade.
The matter was talked over but no
definite understanding -was reached.
though many counter propositions
were made by both parties. Yester
dav morning Mr. Murray came to
town and was at the garage of J
E. Mason, and took the car which he
had left with Mr. Amick and which
was stored with Mr. Mason, drivin
it home.
Mr. Clarence Mason, who was
working under another car, called to
Mr. Murray not to take the car, and
hastened out and getting another car
started to apprehend him, but after
playing a game of "auto polo" was
unable to prevent the car from being
taken away. Now the case rests
with Murray in possession of both
cars, and Amick in possession of the
note for the $500.00, with Mason re
sponsible for the car taken. The
county attorney out of town and
nothing doing until he returns, which
is supposed to be today.

NEW TIME RECORDS
83 miles 1 2 hours -

(All 15 Records arc Officially Approved by the American Automobile Association)
JOE DAWSON in a stock Chalmers Speedster chassis covered 1898 miles in 24 hours, smashing ev
ery lecord made by any vehicle on land or sea. .The deed is more important than speed. .You'll never want
to ride as fast as the Chalmers can go. You'll not havej ersonal occasion to take a trip on a lightening bolt
li isn't our ambition to manufacture the swiftest automobile man knows, but it is our purpose to
build cars so sturdy and worthy that they can emerge even from the murdering ordeal of a free-to-all contest
without . mark of devastation without a sign of weakness.
We do not offer the Chalmers as a racing car. It isn't designed to be one cr advertised to create this
impression.
But the track is the last word in motor tests the laboratory of action sets the cruellest standards that
material and construction may endure.
If there's a flaw in pattern, or part, a solid day of bitter, brutal, speed wili find it.
83 miles in one hour: so fast that the most alert camera could only catch a blurred image of the mir
acle. Any strel except the purest, and therefore costliest grade, would warp or crystalize under the torture.
' 937 miles in one circle of the clock: what more could possibly be said to exalt the superb engineering
the hair-brcdih balance of a machine able to hold such a pace and then straightaway repeat the same pun
iSiirnerit : ,
An hcur of such tear wears a car harder than a year of legitimate use.
The engine thnt didn't quail at the obligation tn furnish energy for the equivalent distance from Chi
to San Frar.cisco IN ONE DAY, can't possibly fail the sternest requirements of ordinary employment.
Here's proof of power of going and staying power without world precedent.
Here's achievement attested by official records of the American Automobile Association!

WANT BETTER ROADS.
From KrUav's Dally.
At the meeting of the county
commissioners which has just clos
ed, the county attorney asked that
the commissioners call all the road
overseers, into their meeting and
take up the matter of looking after
the condition of the roads, which
have from the recent rains been cut
up badly. There lias been many
complaints recently of damage done
to a number of cars, from bad places
in the roads. And acting under the
idea of "Safety First" the commis
sioners have instructed the road,
overceers, to correct the roads, in
that the bad places are fixed, as
soon as possible.
