carriers. He said: Il nave wanted 10 see
and have prophesied that the time would
come when the rural carriers of the vari-
Gus States OF the Union would be organized
into one compact organization In close
proximity with the national organization.
Fourteen men met at Milwaukee thirteen
years ago imbued with the spirit of or
ganization OF the letter carriers OF the
United states. and to-day we have over
carriers "ein iDsnrancs we co aIso nave w,, q
1900 members. Indiana is now the lead

Ice OF the United States, and why should
she not lead the van In the organization of
carriers IL Is now estimated that there
viii be over 10000 rural route carriers in
the United States within the next ten
years. and with a little cultivation OF the
seed that you have this day planted you
will be a member OF one OF the grandest
and most powerful organizations in the
world"
Committees were appointed TO draft res
olutfons and reported action in favor OF
requesting the department 10 require pa
irons Of rural free delivery routes to pur-
chase stamps OF stamped envelopes and
not deposit pennies In the mail boxes, as
Is now becoming a custom. Another re-
port requested the department 10 allow
carriers $50 a year for horse hire. Both
reports were adopted.

A NEW OH GAS BURNER.


From the exhibition of the Ogborn OIL
gas generator and burner now being con-
Quoted at "a South Illinois street 1t Is said
that a long step has been taken toward a
solution OF the heating problem. During
the past week many thousands OF citizens
have witnessed the work done by this in
vention, and it is generally conceded that
the burner does all that is claimed for 1t.
A company composed of Judge w. j. Hen
ley of the Appellate Court, Messrs. Gates
Sexton, Claude Cambern, William traZee
and Owen Kincaid of Rushville and j.. T..
Callau and Harrison Ogborn, the inventor,
OF this city, has been organized TO manu-
facture the burners on an extensive scale.
In this burner the principle of combustion
is a complete departure from other petro-
leum burners. Instead Of burning the oil
a fuel vapor is generated from the oil by
the burner and intermingled with "a per
cent. of air, forming a hydro-carbon gas.
Complete combustion Is secured thereby
without odor or smoke. A low grade or
refined oil that costs but 5 or 6 cents per
gallon is used. The oil is placed in the
tank and a very low pressure of air, not
to exceed ten pounds, is applied to 1t by
an ordinary bicycle pump once a day. This
pressure insures a steady and regular flow
of oil to the burners in the stove. 1t is
claimed that explosions are impossible, as
there can be no accumulation of gas or
contact with the oil In the tank. II burns
with a purple flame. and 1t is said to have
greater heat units b even natural gas.
