ELWOOD. Ind. Oct. 1S.-There are signs
of renewed activity in the construction

little ballasting in the western part of this
city The company was forced to secure
an extension of time from Oct. to Nov. ]
TO have It's ears running to Upton. and Ii
will take day and night work to be ready
by the latter date.
To-day the company advertised for 800
men to go TO work Monday the track

reached with the Lake Erie & Western,
so there will be no further trouble over
these.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct. 1S.-All the
big pipe line companies which secure their
natural gas supply from this section Of the
gas belt claim to have experienced a singu-
lar and unexplainable phenomenon in the
gas pressure Friday. The pressure de-
creased to an alarming extent and was
general in all the lines of the various pipe
line companies in the whole gas belt, the
officials say. c. l.. Gano, of the American
Window Glass Company, became alarmed
and ordered the supply to the Diamond
Flint Glass Company shut off, as all the
gas was needed at the big South Side win
dow glass plant owned by the corporation.
To-day the pressure was as strong as usual
and the most expert gas men of the State
are unable to explain the phenomenon. The
Fort Wayne Gas Company and the John
ston Glass Company claim to have expert
enced the same difficulty.
To-day the gas was turned back into the
Diamond flint factory and 1t went into OPP

F u T. l.


This Stove burns anything and consumes every
thing, making differe nee what sort of fuel Is
used. 1t will burn Hard or Soft Coal, Coke,
Wood, Ignite, Soft Coal slack, Shavings, Paper
Sawdust; in fact verything that is co1nbustib1e
We call special attention TO the successful way
that this Stove will burn soft coal slack with bet
ter results and more cleanliness than hard coal
will operate in hard coal base burner, as the
scientific workings show that the smoke and
gases are extracted from the fuel first, which is
burnt mp and leaves the slack in the form of coke
and then burns up the coke. This method shows
that all the products of the fuel are consumed,
thus producing a very hot fire and doing away
with all the dust that has heretofore been &C.
casioned in hard coal base burners. The cost of
soft coal slack is very small and it has been cst
mated by people who are using this Stove to-day
that four tons of slack will heat FIVE rooms all
winter. Consider what a difference this will make
in your coal bills, with the heat more regular the
fire easier started, the cleanliness and comfort
you are sure to receive. We have this Stove in
operation daily at our store burning just such
stuff as SOFT Goa SLACK, and invite every

FEEDER

The Feeder, or Magazine, is a detachable coal

dispensab1e article in using hard coal, coke
slack, and this attachment makes this the clean
stove in the world. It's additional cost is quite
small, and is made to fit all sizes.

FIRE KEEPING
PRINCIPLES ~

The jointless leg bottom and base makes the
Stove alright below the CRATE which is the only
true fire keeping principle. This heater will hold
fire forty-eight hours. The hampers can be so
arranged to keep a slow fire very hot fire for
hours at a time, just as the weather may be. This
Stove can be regulated to heat room OK three
rooms, and its simple workings can readily be
derstood after one explanation. This is great
factor with this stove, as its fre-keeping princi-
pies better than any other stove in the world,
and you work it with greater ease and are assured
of more comfort at least expense 1t is the only
perfect floor warmer manufactured to-day, and the
only absolute Smoke Consuming Stove on Earth.
