Ruling by Attorney tienernl In a Postoffice niul ctvspapcr Citsc. WASHINGTON, Aug. -.23. Attorney funeral Knox has rendered to the postmnster general an opinion'ori tho Question whether a certain Western . dally paper has Violated the law prihltlng the use'.of the mall for advertlMng lottcrlc. tfft concert nnd similar enterpriser The paper om time ago inaugurated st guessing contest, .'advertising that it would give prize?, aggregating $i.Vl in value.' to icrson3 making tho nearest estimates of the nurnber of paid a dra Iss ions to the Pan-Amer-ican exposition at Uaffalt 'from 'the flay Id! opening to tho day of closing. The attorney general rays that unltss plalnl forbidden by law th remedy is with Uongrcs. .iml not with the. department, .lie fays th contestants must go Into careful . inquiry as to farts about tr; exposition, public interest and attendance to date, and continues: "Such estimates, therefore", while necesEflrlly dependent In many reacts upon chance. ;ir likewise affected "by the Intelligent calculation of a thoughtful observer. A fair construction of the words "dependent upon lot or chance' exclude estimates which are basd upon mental calculation, fven though tho factors which enter into such calculation may hnvuncertaln and matters of conjecture. The drawing of a lot or the throw of th die are purely dependent on chance, for no mental operation can aid in estimating .th result. As penal statutes must be c orttrnil strictly, I am unable to reach the conclusion that the fEiving of prize ai a rwni for superior nte.Migence in estimates where the human Intellect 1 exercised In making such estimates is within the purview of the statute and the conclusion cannot be affected by the demoralizing tendencies to which you refer."

Sperinl to the Indiana pelis Journal. MARION, Ind.. Aug. 23.-A party of Marion capitalists yesterday evening visited Eummitville for the purpose of inspecting a hew process for the manufacture of gas for Illuminating and heating purposes. The new process produces a gas at a very lowcost, and the elements combined to generate the fuel are oil, water and air. 11. Y. Comstock, a Marion man, owns a controlling interest In the new process, and it was under his chaperonago that the Marlon party was shown the system. Representative Steele, local manager of the National Soldiers' Home here, and who has in charge the matter of installing a new heating system for that institution, was one of the most interested visitors. In the new process water and oil are mixed In certain proportions, which are not made public, and into this compound 13 forced a certain quantity of air. Tho mixture Is forced through an iron tube or pipe, which is heAted red hot from the outside. The combined heat and pressure separates the elements and reunites them in gas of excellent quality for heating and Illuminating purposes. The equipment for a plant is not expensive, and the gas can be manufactured at an estimated cost of 5 cents per thousand cubic feet. Gan Company Sella Ont. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKTON, Ind., Aug. 23.

A six-inch pipe line will connect this city with the station. The Frankton Natural Gas and Oil Company has been in operation since 197. It sold out it sixty-eight shares of stock for $50 a hare.
