basis as fast as the works can he ex-
tended. In this great work every
citizen of Chicago should take the
warmest interest.
The Cicero works can be seen at
any time by any person who wishes
to study the construction and opera
tion of what is really one of the
greatest inventions of this or any
other century The works are oper-
ated by the National Gas and Water
Construction Company (oflice at 2lS
La Sale street, Chicago, composed
of individuals who have made ma
tional reputation in the building of
hard coal water-gas works since water
gas was first successfully introduced
in 1876.
1t is estimated, at the lowest calcu-
lation, that at least one thousand
times as much gas will be consumed
at 30 cents as is now sent out at
81. 25 for gas is fast becoming one of
the most desirable and beneficial
agencies and improvements in every
house and factory. Special stores are
crowded with hundreds of fixtures
and appliances for burning gas for
numerous purposes. In fact methods
of using gas are far ahead of cheap
gas. Open wide then the city gates
for the entrance of this great i'm
provement. 1t comes at most OPP
perfume time, when labor, capital,
and every kind of material used in
the construction of gas works are
plenty and cheap.
Chicago now has the opportunity
to shake off its funeral pail of smoke
and open the new century with clear
air, pure water and perfect drainage;
verify, there are giants in these days,
Chicago life breeds them, and they
use their money, strength, and tai
ents not "to wade through slaughter,
to throne" but for the uplifting of
humanity and the spreading of the
gospel of peace on earth and good
will to men,"

Figuring the coal at So. 80 per ton,
and oil worth PC per gallon of seven
pounds, the actual cost of the raw
materials contained in 1000 feet of
! gas is about s cents. Now, on the
principle that it takes the entire
value of one steer to pack another
steer (Which it does not), then in any
well-regulated gas works, constructed
and operated on correct and scien-
tific principles, gas should not cost in
the holder more than double the
cost of the raw materials contained
in it, or, say, l6 cents per 1000 feet
Allowing 25 per cent. additional as
the cost Of sending it from the holder
to the consumer (Which on large
delivery is an extremely liberal esti-
mate), then gas at the burner should
not cost the properly operated gas
company more than 20c per 1000
feet. Add 100 per cent. for profit
and it figures up 40c per 1000 cubic
feet. At this price for 20-candle- power
gas, the city could pass an ordinance
prohibiting the use of coal for
fuel, compelling all the coal used to
light and heat the city to go to the
gas works for conversion into gaseous
fuel. Really, the sending of coal to
every twenty-five foot lot for fuel is
just about equivalent to sending corn
on the cob, or wheat in the sheaf. or
live stock on foot, to every house
hold, thus compelling every house
holder to grind their grain between
stones and run a private slaughter
house to furnish necessary food.
The substitution of gaseous for
solid fuel is only a question of the
scientific conversion of crude mate
rails into gas The private consumer
of crude coal realizes about Is per
cent. of its heating qualities. A gas
company should realize about 80 per
cent at least, and thus have an adj
vantage of 10 per cent.
1t has been the puzzle of more than
century to apply the great discovery
made by Henry Cavendish in 1880
1888 (namely, that water was com
posed of oxygen and hydrogen) to the
conversion of cheap bituminous coal
and crude oil into an entirely com
bustible, fixed. illuminating water
gas. Necessity, however is the
mother OF invention and the problem
has at last been successfully solved by
Henry G. Rev, a resident of Chicago.
Mr. Rev became interested in gas in
1878. Since 1883 he has given his
entire time and spent a fortune In
wading through the literature on gas
in the Patent ONCE at Washington,
the Mercantile and Astor library,
New York, and the public library
Chicago. and In the puzzling series Of
experiments required to perfect his
system, but at last the magnificent

the Chicago Court House, rises 70 re-

Advertising in Bad Times.

There is one kind of enterprise
which pays even better in such times
as these than in good times. This
is enterprise in advertising. Skilful
and ent.advertising is useful
and profitable at any time; but now
adays the man who keeps the bar
gains he offers most conspicuously
before the people especially profits
by it. In these days people are
looking with uncommon sharpness
for bargains. They want to spend
their money to the best advantage,
and Notwithstanding the cry of hard
times, there is some money, and
more soon coming, to spend. The
merchants who do the most and the
best advertising will get the most of
it and will have business to do,
while those whe seek to save money
by retaining to let the people know
what they've to offer to them, will
likely find that the buying public
will not hunt them up to ascertain if
they have got any bargains.

A Singular Accident

Last Saturday night, at about 10
O'Clock, in the neighborhood of
Ridge, a serious and singular acct
dent happened to two young men.
1t seems that four young men were
riding together when d. Hoffpauir
suggested that he take one of the
young men home with him for the
night, and H. Hoffpauir take the
other. This was agreed to, and
they then separated. After going
some distance on their several ways
they decided, co-incidently, to turn
back, and gave their horses free
rein. When near copse, and
owing to the shadow, they did not
see each other, and coming at full
tilt D. and H. Hofpauir ran into
one another, and from the collision
each had a leg fractured. 1t APP
pears that the young men have
habit of racing their horses, and
these young men were but INDUCING
in a usual pastime when the unfor-
tunate accident occurred. DR..
Young, of Rayne, due to the inabil-
ty of Drs. Clark and Lyons, of that
locality to respond, was sent for
and attended to the needs of the
young men, who, late reports aver,
are doing fairly we'll, and, luckily,
amputation will not be nece ssary
1t looks as if our friend of The Gazette
is rather doubtful of railroad to Lafa-
| yette. Is Iberia going to be the winner?
Don't give up the ship SO soon Charley;
keep your ground.-Valley of the Teche,
Breaux Bridge.
Friend, due to the crew congre-
eating together on the forecastle the
old ship (railroad) has taken lurch,
and is sinking. We have simply
jumped in the life-boat (refinery)
and hope to reach the shore of
Prosperity. At least our chances are
far better than remaining
striding the gunwales of the old
| ship which will soon take a plunge
down 10 the bottom of the deep sea
Of oblivion. That's all.

showed us for what purpose most
Of them are designed, and they did
such neat and quick work that we
were lost in wonderment.
Lafayette Lodge No. 3194 K. of
H., is one of the most prosperous
fraternal associations in this place,
having membership of about 10,
mostly BENEFICIARY members. A
goodly attendance was on hand
Tuesday to witness the initiation of
Mr.. Leon Plonsky. Active men,
bers are soliciting members, and
meet every and and 4th Tuesday at
Falk's Opera House.
The Gazette was informed Mon
day that the bridge over Mines
coulee is in delapidated and
dangerous condition, the plank
ing being rotten and SO badly
decayed that driving across
the forefoot of horse went through
and it was by the greatest luck that
the horse was not permanently
injured.
A birthday party given by Miss
Lizzie kavanagh, at Mrs. SProule's
residence Wednesday evening, was
very enjoyable affair and quite
we'll attended. The votaries of
Terpsichore were afforded all the
opportunities to do reverence to
their goddess which they did with
full measure. Light refreshments
were served, and every one left at
late hour very much pleased wit
the enjoyable evening spent.
Money being very scarce just now
it takes special inducements to make
people part with some of their
wealth. l.. Levy & Son offer the
special inducements at their store
which the general public is invited
to inspect. The goods are fresh
and seasonable, and sold at the
very lowest possible price. Read
what they have to say in another
part of this paper.
Protracted meetings have been
held at the Methodist church since
Saturday and will continue till to-
day noon. The sscowboy" preach
er, Rev. MIR. Montgomery has stirred
up the sinners very effectively and
many accessions to the church has
been the result. Mr.. Montgomery
is strong, lucid, and effective
speaker and his whole soul is in his
work. The resident pastor was
much pleased to see the large num-
Der of people attending the meet
ings-in fact the number was SO
large that Thursday evening many
could not secure entrance inside the
church.
c.. R. Wilson, of Houston, Texas,
representing the old firm of p. G.
Tomson & Co., Philadelphia, Penn,
has been in our city selling the ia
nous Hoe Cake Soap. A laundry
soap that softens hard water, and
washes the clothes whittier, cleaner
and in one-third the time required
when using yellow soaps. 1t is said
to please every one. Give Hoe
Cake a trial and you will use no
other laundry soap. Call on your
grocer for it. The merchants we
! understand will have it on sale in
twenty days.
