crude petroleum.
The oil used was taken from a bar-
rel of crude oild j^rocuced from a
prospeck well near Harrison, and sup-
plied by J. C. Schriver, of this city,
who togetbehr with W- E. Fryberger,
E. T. Prince and John Newland, are
sole owners. The sample was pro-
nounced first class, and to the uniniti-
ated, performed satisfactorily.
The burner is adopted to the use
of crude petroleum and produces a
clear white gas without smoke, but
kerosene or gasoline may be used, and
neithher will clog the gas pit. It is
adopted for use in furnaces, cooking
stoves and the like and may be readily
attached to them without making any !
very great change in the construction.
The cost for fuel with this burner 1
in use is estimated at one quart o5
crude oil per day: or rnit to exceed j
one barrel of oil per month. A barrel
of oil cost sixty cents at the well, with'
transportaiton added. The first cost
of the burner put into a stove will be
$2.50 and from the*' figures it can be
seen that they will be both profitable
to use and to manufacture, and Mr.!
Wadkins should have little urouble to Many Other
associate capital with him, should he
desire to do so.
Th'e operation of the device is as
follows: Oil rasses through the heat-.
ing chamber to the separator, ithenc^
to the geneartor. and thence to the
j burner, where it i- gnited and burns, I
the sprayed oil being projecte 1 against
Hie outer snr'ace of tin generator. In
a shor ttime the generator becomes
highly heated, so that the entering oil
is immediately flashed into var or, and
a gas is then fed to the burner, this
llame from which laps around the gen-
erator and the heating chamher. Af-
ter the latter is heated the oil pacing

The Best Publicity is that which Reaches the Masses
The American offers this to the public. It may come a little higher than the other kind, but it is worth
the price. You can't buy two yards of calico for the price of one—you can't buy 1,500 circulation 111 a news,
paper for the price of 500. But the big circulation is the cheapest in the end because it covers the field and
reaches the masses. A trial will convince you of its value.

W'infield, Kansas, was , the scene
Thursday night, of the most appalling
shooting affray in the history of Kan-
sas when Gilbert Twigg, a miller, shot
own five p"pie, fatally wounded two
:'ore and injured fifteen others.
The li-t of dead and injured are giv-
en above. The shocflting occurred a
few minutes before 9 o'cock, at he
corner of Ninth and Main streets.
Caman's band was giving the regular
weekly concert on the corner, when
suddenly without a warning shout,
the young man began firing from the
alley west of Main street. He had a
breech loading magazine gun and fired
a dozen shots into the crowd. The re-
volver he turned 011 himself.
Two or three thousand people were
attending the concert, and street were
jammed and during the intermission
between the third and fourth numbers
the shooting occurred.
The young man was in the dark be-
hind the Odd Fellows' building, and
suddenly the shots rang out in rapid
succession, there being only a slight
intermission between the shotgun vol-
loy and that of the revolver. The
shot gun was loaded with No. 5 buck-
shot and they veritably moved down
the crowd within its range. Then fol-
lowed the revolver bullet which
killed the murderer. The shooting was
