Chautauqua Trustees Meet, The directors of the Choutauqua Assembly association held. tbeir annual meeting last eveuing in the office of Mayne & Hazel- ton in the Merriam blook. A new executive committee was appointed for tho coming year, consisung of A. S, Hazelton, F. Gleason, J. Harkuess, E. Hart and F. Hill, and was in- structed to choose a manuger. The question whether to have un assembly this year was not decided definitely, but was teft in the hands of the executive committee, who are to canvass the situation at once with a view to finding out what the Council Bluffs Transit company intonds to do with reference to building & motor line to the grounds. It is regarded as a settled fact that an assembly without a motor line will be a failure, and the question of having an assembly will be virtually decided by the movements of the tramsit company. The prospects are considered very favorable, Lowever, and H. H.

Barrett went home at 2 o’clock in the morn- ing und rotired until breakfast, but in turn- g off the @as he somehow made a mistake and turned on another buraer that was close at hand. In the morning one of the other roomers 1n the house noticed the smell of gas und started on a tour of investigation. It was found that the odor came from the room occupled by the two young men, and by hard pounding on their Aoor they were arousced from the lethargy which the inhalation of tne gas bud brought upon them. The results of breatbing the gas 5o many hours manifested themselves in the form of a terrible headache and a general tirea feeling that is not natural to either of them. It was several hours pe- fore the effects wore away, and in the mean- time they were neither of them in a condition 1o care whether they had another chauce to breathe gas or not. 1t wus found that Barrett had only turned the burner part way open, so that the fuil stream of the gas wus not poured into the room. ‘The transom over the outside door had been left open and one of the windows was dropped a little way from the top, and to these three circumstances the two young wmen owe their lives. —— Wanted—Two apprentice nurses at W.

Ifthis statement is true it will be of consideravlo iuterest to the prop erty owners on Twenty-fourth street in this city, as the same kind of material is being usea here as was in Denver. To Patronize Home Merchants, The sentiment to patronize home industries advocated at the meeting of South Omaha ousiness men held a few weeks ago is grow- ing in favor and some of the merchants note already an increasein their patronage. Itis urged that at least 50 per cent of the money mado in South Omaha should ba spent here instead of the great bulk going off to other cities the way 1t has been doing. Many of the merchants declire that if South Omaha people would trade exclusively in this city that the aealers here could and would under- seli any of the merchants of Omaha.

The organization of the new court of law claims at Denver last month and the an nouncement that tha court will hold its fina session in that city on the 17th of November tive promise that he long-vexed titles in th western territories and state will soon be in afair way to settlement. The disputed titles under the Mexican and Spanish grants have proved especially troublesome in Arizona ana New Mexico. They bave delayed settloment ana investment in some of the fairest lands of the southwest, and have proved annoying in the districts farther to the uorth. After much agitation and complamt congress wa nduced at the laet session to provide a court for the consideration of this business, and will soon begin to work. The organization of this court gives Tnr Bee Bukeau oF CLaiMs a chance to extend its usefulness.

The Indian depredations _ patent, land mining and other claims before the courts and departments are being pushed as rapidly as possible, with no delays on accunt of the large amount of-business which has been sont to the bureau. The large amount of claims intrusted toits careis a standing proof of the esteem and confidence in which Tur Beg is held by the public which it serves, It is like- wise a demonstration. if one was required,o he need of such an organization Tho revelations n regard to the Loomis agency which have been published recently g0 even furtherin the same direction. When man sought for by the police for nearly a year on a warrant for embezzlement can set up as & claim agent, flood the western coun- try with circulars and receive assignments for several million dollar's worth of claims, it appears that there is little protection for the claimant whosends to an unknown repre. sentative. The men whoassigned their claim to Loomis would have bad small chance o their seoing any of their money if tha schemer had been given time to colleot their claims. When such risks are run and men who are not able to go to Washington aund know no one there must hire their attorneys at haphazard, the need for a bureau to pro- toct the people and do their work at reason- able rates is apparent. The upprovug with which Tue Bare enter- prise is received by journalists and public men is as gratifying as the response of the public. - A Smart Aleck Called Down, He was u clerk in a_wall paper store and what he didn’t know about color blending and general artistic effects was merely what he had taken the trouble to go out and deliberately ferget, says the Washington Star, A young woman called, and he began in & most gracious manner to tell her what she wanted.

Directions to Inventors Issned by The Bee Bureau of Olafims, METHODS OF THE PATENT OFFICE, The ¢ Invention to Prot —Costs of Obt Paten thie ‘Anthor of an ot Mg Rights nidg a To the inventor the all important question prosents ltsolf, “How can I securoa patent!" oud to this Tae Bee Bureau offers the fol- lowing explanation : Inventors as a class are not familiar with the laws under which lotters patent are granted, the forms and practice in the patent ofice at Washiogton and the technical mothods of casting specifications and claims to properly protect their, inventions against infringers, yet the value of the patent and even its validity depend largely upon the careful and expert preparation of the case. Specifications must be drawn to fully dis- close the invention, to distinguish between what is new and what is old, and claims, upon which the value and validity of the patent dopend, must be cast to fully cover the invention yet not to encronch upon pat- ents already granted. Failure in either of these respects often renders the patentvalue- less orvoid, The employment of counsel skilled in patent law 1s therefore usually a prerequisite to the proper prosecution of a case and a graut of a valuable patent. Many inventors suffer the loss of benefits that should be derived from valuable inven- tions owing to insuficient protection by pat- ots procured through incompetent or care- less agents, etc. For What Granted, Under the laws of the United States let- ters patent are granted to any persou who has invented or discovered any new and use ful ary, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, or has inventad any new or useful improvement thereon. Term of Patent, A patent is granted for seventoen years, during which time the owner has sole and exciusive right to make, use and sell the patented invention. How to Procee For economic reasons before making ap- plication to the patent oftice for a patent, the novelty and patentability of the inven- tion should be ascertained, because, if the invention is not new or not patentable an unnecessary expense Is incurred by fling an application” on which a putent can never be granted, etc, The first thing to be done is to find out whether or not the invention is new and patentable. - For advice on the point it is necessary to sond to the bureau & rough or complete sketch or a_photograph of the invention, to- gether with a brief déscription thereof, setting forth the object of the improve- ments, the arrangemant of ‘the parts and the advantages attained. 'While a modei is very seldom necessary, yot 1t is often of great assistauco. The latfer can be made of any cheap material, ar.d will 'be returned 1f & roquest is made to tha effoct. Upon receipt of the data ‘mentioned =uffic- ient to enable the invention to be understood our counsel will at once examine thereinto, and will advise without charge what is the best course to pursue and will express an opinion, from their knowledge of the arts and patents already geantéd, as to the patent- ability of the invention. In this conuection it is recommended that the best und safest Course is to have a special search made in the'patent oftice to ascertain whether orwot the invention has been heretufore patented. The advantage of ‘ch is that if noaaticipating patent overed tha application can bo filed with a greater docree of certainty. whereas if the invention is found to be old all further ex- pense is avoided. The costof a search of this nature is 85, and with the raport of the result thereof the inventor will be furnished with copies of such patents, if any, as em- brace his ideas. It is much better to have this search made in the outset before incur- ring any expense whatever regarding the ap- plication for patent. 11t is found that he invention is new and patentable the clientis advised to proceed with the filing of an application for patent, and will then be requested to remit $15 to cover the first government fee and £ in payment of cost of drawing, when one is necessary, As soon as possible after the receipt of this remittance the specification of the invention will.be carefully prepared and forwarded to the inventor, together with forms for application for patent ready for execution. Upon return of the latter the case will be promptly flied at the patent office and notice will be sént when action is had there- on, and also of the nature of such action. The examining corps of the patent oftice is aivided into thirty-two divisions, among which the applications are divided according 1o the officiul classitication. The condition of the work in the various divisions varies trom one to five months in arrears. The Bureau Charges, Consistent with tue spirit with which this bureau was formed, it is not intended to conduct any branch of the business on a money making basis, but it is proposed to do the work as near the actual costas will pro- tect the business from lo-s. Although counsel are retained at heavy expense to the bureau, ye it is the wish o charge in ordinary cases only the minimum fee of 5. However, in cases requiring extra care, time and labor the fee will be nroportionately increased, but clients will always bo advised in advanco should such increase of fee be found neces- sary.

The government fee, pavavle on filing each application for registration of trademark, is §25. The bureau’s charge is about $20, Labels, Labels of all kinds, designed to be at- tached to manufactured articles or to bottles, oxes, etc,, containing them, have heretoforo been received for registration in the patent office and a certificate issued accordingly. Under a very recent deciston of the supremo court of the United States it is held that there is no authority in law for granting cer- tficates of registration of labels which simply designate or describe the ar- ticles to which they are attached, and which have no value separated therefrom, A label to be entitled to registration must have Dy itself soma value as a composition, at least 88 serviag some purpose or cthor than as a mero designation or advertisement. Many now holding certiticates of registration of la- bels are totally without any protection what- ever. Many registered iabels comprise sub- ect matter rogisterable as trademarks. Vherever this is so, or where bv aslight change it can be made to come within the purview of the laws governinge trademarks, registration should be sought under this head. The govarnment fee in a label case is $06 and the bureau charga is $25, Copyrights, can be had for books, maps, engravings, photographs, paintings, pictures, ote. The total cost thereof is about #5, including all fecs. In An interference is a judicial proceeding in- stituted under the direction of the commis- sioner of patents to enable him to de- termine the question of priority of invention between rival claimants. = The bureau, recognizing the fact that extraor- dinary care and skill are requisito on the part of an attorney in charge of a case in in- terference, has at its command counsel pre- pared to conauct a case in interference from the very inception down to a final determina- tion of the merits of the cause. Testimony will also be taken under our_ direction in any part of the United States. While no specific sumw can be sct down as applicable to all in- terference cases alike, yet the charges will always be as reasonable us possible. erferences, Infringements, The question whether or bot one patent, in- fringes another is the very soul of all patent litigation. The questions involved are many, and of tne most Intricate nature. It 15 al- Wways & matter of such great importance that no one should ever claim that another is i {ringing on his rights, ov, likewise, no atten- tion should be paid to the claims of infringe- ment by others until the questions involved are carefully passed upon by a reliable at- toruey. Forsuch sorvices tho chares are aways fair and reasonable. Forelgn Patents, I addition w0 the bureau's facilities for attending to the incerests of its inventor-pat- rons before the United States patent oftice and courts, iv is also enabled to procure patents for inventions in all countries of the world. In many of the foreign coun- tries, notubly Canada, England and Ger- many, vatents for inventions previously patented in this country are looked upon with great favor, and inventors ara there very frequently more likely to realize profits from their inventions than thoy are even in this country. The cost of foreign patents varies with "different cases, but as a general rule the expenses of procuring patents, cov ering all charges. is about as follows: Canaaa, $0; England, $30; Germany, $00: France, $35; Spain, $90; Balgium, 850. = Ad- aitional informuation regarding the cost, etc., 1 any foreign country will be furnished by letter on application. ~ In all such requests mention having read these instructious in Tur BEe.

L THE DEPREDATION CLAIMS, The experience of Tue Bre Criiws BukEAU has brought out the fact thav many of its subscrivers do not understand that the Indisn depredations nct passed by tho last congress annulled all previcus coutracts for collectiug claims urder it.

When the act was signed all vontracts with agonts were made void by its terms, The holders of claims wers then free to make such bavgains with their asents as they plen‘uxl. or could refuse to make any bargain at all, The framers of the act found It necessary to take this step for the protection of the claimants, Atthe time whon there seemed little chance that such an act would be passed hundreds of claimants haa contracted with agents to pay outragoous fees in case the money could be collected.
