OIL SOAKED BRICKS.

The item in the last issue of the
Chronicle relative to the burning OF
o1l-soaked bricks has aroused consld-
cradle interest thourghout the town
and county. In view of the fact that
so much interest is taken in the mat
ter. and the continued scarcity OF
coal we publish additional infor-
nation about the question as follows
The common red brick, or even q
very hard fire brick will not absort
as much oil as soft porous bricks.
These will insure steady and even
burning. The fire bricks can be pur-
chased of O. W. Ennis & Co, or OF
the local masons.
There are several general particu-
lars to be observed in burning oil on
bricks. The most emphatic rule for
safety is, that the bricks must not be
drenched with oil while heated, or in
the stove or range. 1t is we'll to i'm
merse the bricks IN pail or deep
pan, and it is better if these recep-
tacles are placed out of doors, or
some distance, at least, from the
house. When the bricks have alb
sorbed all the oil which is possible,
and which may be known by oes-
sation OF air bubbles, they should be
placed upon end in the firebox. Two
bricks will do for the start, and rota-
tion may be kept up by having a
stock OF four or five more in soak.
1t will require less than five minutes
to soak them, and they will burn for
three quarters of an hour. This will
give a steady fire for heating rooms
or cooking meals.
Care should be taken IN lighting, as
the flames rise two or three feet be-
fore settling down to steady blue
flame. The person who ignites the
oil gas thrown off from an oil-soaked
brick may be seriously injured If not
cautious in starting the fame. 1t is
a good plan before the bricks are sat-
1rated with oil to moisten them
slightly. Unuer no circumstances
should the oil be poured upon the
bricks while they are hot. The cool
ing and soaking should be done in
the open air A pair of strong tongs
should be used in handling the
bricks. Of course this is only a
but those who carefully
follow the directions have found they
were enabled to both cook and heat
their houses by means of oil-soaked
bricks

SPELLING.

Business men who were taught
spelling in the old fashioned but
thorough way have doubtless been
amazed many times by the apparent
ignorance of one of the simplest
branches of learning manifested by
boys who apply to them by letter for
employment.
1t is fact that the boys and girls
of today are woefully deficient in
spelling. That is not true of pupils
| in the public schools alone. Recently
| 95 out of al freshmen at Northwest
ern University failed to pass an ex-
animation in spelling, and it was not
a difficult examination, either, the
words given out having been ordinary
ones. This is attributed by we'll
known teachers to the so-called
scientific" method of teaching SPELL
ing. which, as matter of fact, does
not teach it at all.
1t may be the fashion to attach no
Importance to spelling, as did Davy
Crockett, who declared that it was
more what man said than how he
spelled his words Nevertheless, one
who is called upon to read a manu-
script that is filled with orthograph-
ical errors is bound to form low es-
innate of the writer's intelligence.

present system will be abandoned,

TOO MANY MIRRORS CRACKED AT
OMAHA SCHOOL.

Girls of the Omaha High School are
up in arms over the most recent or
der of Principal Waterhouse. The
order forbids all students having any
kind of mirrors in the school build
ing. Before the anti-mirror order
was promulgated the girls had been
in the habit of keeping small looking
glasses in their lockers and using
them for little toilets during inter
mission. Some days ago the girls
came to school and found some one
had been through every locker and
confiscated the mirrors. The rule was
posted shortly afterward.
Principal Waterhouse said: "There
is altogether too much time given to
such foolishness; it must be stopped. -
A short time ago the boys were
forbidden to wear sweaters to school,
and last spring the principal barred
young men in shirt waists, and short
sleeved waists on girls.

FOWLER A FRIEND OF gTHE WORKING
MAN.

One of the most interesting Con.
gressional contests now being waged
in the country is in the Fifth New
Jersey district, compI Using the coun-
ties of Union, Morris and Warren,
where Congressman Charles N. Fow-
Ter is a candidate for reelection
against Congressman Dewitt @. Flana-
gan of Morristown. Mr.. Fowler has,
during his career, established a repu-
tation as a national leader, and is
without doubt one of the brainiest
men in public life today. He is we'll
and favorably known to workingmen
generally, who recognize his sterling
ability and who are not undmindful
of his past efforts in their behalf
y y To working men of the Fifth
Congressional district, comprising
Union, Morris and Warren counties,
and to railroad men in particular, Mr..
Fowler has ever had kindly hand
outstretched in greeting of fellow
ship, and another han1 ready for
work in their service. Their interests
may be considered as conserved in all
possible measure by his election, and
we most heartily commend him to
the care of united labor, feeling
certain of an unanimity of support
on the basis of merit alone. The

FOWLER FAvoRS TARIFF coMMIs-
SION.

Congressman Flanagan, has con-
siderable to say concerning what he
will do relative to the tariff ques-
tion-if elected.
Congressman Fowler, who has
long made a study of the tariff
question from a practical stand
point, introduced bill in the House
of Representatives December End,
1901, which provides for the APP
pointment of tariff commission.
The important features of the bill
follows
"To establish commission, who
shall investigate all duties on inn
ports and recommend changes there
in, negotiate reciprocal trade treat
les and recommend the adoption OF
the same, and collect such informa-
ton with regard to products, manu-
features, and commerce as will aid
it in the performance of its duties
and promote and provide for the
general welfare.
"Sec. 7. That said commission, in
executing its duties aforesaid and
in collecting such information with
regard to products, manufactures,
and commerce as will promote and
provide for the general welfare, is
hereby empowered to summon any
person, partner, officer, or repre-
sentative Of company or corpora
ton and all other persons, both
natural or civil, within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States to testify
before it, to examine such persons
under oath or affirmation, and to
require such persons to furnish any
paper, book of account, records, or
detailed reports in such form and
manner and at such times as it may
prescribe. And said commission is
hereby vested with all the powers
of United States District Court to
summon and control witnesses and
to punish them for contempt"

WHEN THE WHEELS TURNED BACK
WARD.

The one period when progress was
stalled and the wheels appeared to
turn backward was that four years
from March 4th, 1898, to March 4th,
1897, when the Democratic party was
in complete control, with a Demo
cratic President, Democratic SEN
ate and Democratic House of Rep
resentatives.
In that four-year period policies
and laws that had proved beneficial
were reversed and repealed, and
Democratic free trade policies en-
bodied in law and administration.
The effort of the Republican party
has since that time been to wipe out
the effect and the causes of that
mistake. The one great Democratic
law then enacted has been repealed.
1t was the Wilson German tariff law,
and it was repealed by the Dingley
act on July gath, 1897, at a special
session of Congress, called by Presi-
dent Mckinley for that express pur-
pose.
1t is unnecessary to go into detail
as to the work of the Republican
party. 1t is the work OF the nationa
government and the progress of the
american people in the last forty
years-the period of modern indus
trial development at home and com
mercial expansion abroad.

LIVED IN ALL OF ,EM.

The truth about the practice of
polygamy among the Mormons, says
the London Daily Mail, which ap-
pears to be in dispute among some of
our correspondents, is presumably
contained in the following passage
from letter in which Mrs. ]. K.
Lawson, who is sending her "Impres-
sions of America" to the Dundee Ad-
vertiser, describes visit to Salt Lake
City. A person with whom the lady
discussed this subject said:
1t is practiced just as it was be-
fore the law forbidding it was passed.
Only it is now shebeened, instead of
open. I'll tell you how it is. A
man may not have more than one
wife in his house, but he can have
another wife in another house-the
next door-and over the way, and so
on. A friend of mine who wished to
see a Mormon on business was d.
rected to a house in the suburbs-one
of five adjoining each other.
"'D Does Mr.. So-and-So live in this
house?' he inquired of little boy
on the doorstep.
&C He lives in all of 'em, was the
astounding answer

the party of sturdy American prin-
ciples, progressive and conservative,
accomplishing what it advocates and
advocating what best represents the
ideals of the most progressive people
in the whole world.
The record of the Republican party
is written in the amendments to the
Constitution, substantially all the
federal statutes now in force and the
most remarkable period of progress
the country has ever known.
1t is written also in the commercial
invasion of Europe, in Cuba, where a
new flag has appeared as testimon-
ial to the fidelity of this party to the
cause of free government, in Hawaii
and Porto Rico. as new territories,
in the Philippines, where civil gov
eminent is rapidly succeeding mill
itary rule, and in China, where Pres
ident McKinley's policy led and con-
trolled the armies of the world
marching to the rescue of the be-
sieged legations in Pekin. These his
torioal induces of the impress on the
world by the government policies and
commercial expansion of the American
people may be fairly claimed as q
part of the history of the Republican
party, because they represent the pur-
poses of this party-as "they have
been embodied in law and executed
in administration.

there are about fifty at work. A large

Dividends for Taxpayers.

This is the second payment under
the act providing for the distribution
of the treasury surplus among the
taxpayers.
When this law was first passed in
1899, the Democrats denounced it as
a political trick. and insisted that its
promised fruits would never be re-
allied.
The wise economy and careful hus-
banding Of the revenues of the state
by the Republican administrations
have proved these predictions false,
and given the taxpayers dividends
they never realized under Democratic
rule.
Under a continuation of these Re-
publican times, this sum is likely to
be increased in the near future.

New York Flower and Sculpture
Show.

The success of last years exhibition
given by the New York Florists club
made the giving of another show
this year compliance with popular
demand. The Importance OF the
show to anyone interested in horti-
culture, it's beauty as scene. and
the wonderful display of shrubs and
plants and flowers, gives it place as
an annual exhibition. This year,
from Thursday, October S0th, to
Thursday, November 9Th, there will
be revelation in Madison Square
Garden. From the entrance hall on
Madison Avenue to the far end of the
Garden there will be something to
be seen aud thought of; a revelation
in beauty and effect. The plan of the
exhibits will be different from any
ever given in New York. Nature has
given the grand display of flowers
and plants; the skill of the sculptor
has given the silent, yet speaking,
evidence of advancement in sculpture,
and this years exhibition will be
long remembered by all who see it.
