SAVE MONEY
this winter by saving fuel. Coal is expensive
in this country and the stove that gives the
most heat with the least amount of fuel is the
one you want. The
heater is the simplest and best regulated stove
on the market and burns 25 per cent less fuel
than any other—this means a saving of
Twenty-Five cents on every sack of coal at One
Dollar per.
Why burn up that extra two-bits?
We have four different sizes and extra parts.

Htm SENTENCES
FOR CONSPIRATORS
Seoul, -Jlleavy sentences were I
imposed upon many of the 123
Korean prisoners charged with
cor>.;piring against the life of
fiovernor Clenoral Count Terau

Maroii Yuan Chi llo, formerly
a cabinet minister, and several
among' the accused, were sent to
prison for ten years, while var
ious lernis <>f imnishmenl were
indicted upon all the other pris
oner4? except nine, who were re
leased. (
The introduction into the Ko
rean conspiracy trial of the
names of several American mis
sionaries including Mishop Har
ris of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, attracted world-wide at
tention'to the case. The trial
began on June 28, and some of
I lie prisoners, nearly all of whom
were christian converts, made
confessions implicating the mis
sionaries, which they afterwards
, withdrew, as they declared they
jhad made them under torture.
The Japanese government and
the Korean officials disavowed
any campaign against the mis
sionaries, and declared they had
no suspicion of any complicity
on the part of the missionaries
in the plot.
