All the machinery for making water
gas is entirely different from that used
in the manufacture of coal gas. Brief
~ described, it will consist of a gener-
ator, a carburetter and a superheat
with a complete system of scrubberS
and PURIFIERS.
The generator is a cylinder 20 feet
tall, built of steel and hrebricks, which
is really a coke furnace operated I'M
der forced draft SO that the coke is
kept at a white heat. Through this
mass of burning coke, steam is forced.
The effect is that the steam decom-
poses, and forms gas. This is tn
pure water gas. 1t is in this form
serviceable for gas ranges or for use
with gas mantles, but it does not pos
sess the necessary candle power for
illuminating gas. 1t is a blue gas. To
increase the candle power, the gas is
passed into another tall cylinder,
which is filled with atomized crude oil,
forced in by means of a steam jet.
The oil incorporates itself into the
gas. To complete the process, the
carburetted gas is passed into the
superheater where the process of COM
bination is completed, and the gas is
practically the same as coal gas be-
fore publication. From the super
heater the gas goes through three
separate "scrubbers'' where it is
obliged to pass through wood shavings
and oxide of iron. Then follows the
purifying process, where it passes

Member of Citizens Industrial ALI
ance Refers to the President.

New York, Nov 30.-Plans for or
ganizing the employers of labor in this
country to combat the labor unions
were today considered at the session OF
the Citizens Industrial association con-
vention. Among the addresses deliver
ed was one by Daniel Davenport of
Bridgeport, Conn, executive agent of
the American anti-boycott association.
Mr.. Davenport's subject was, me
Purposes and Work of the American
Anti-Boycott Association"
1t was in the employment bureau Oh
the country that Frederick job, secre-
tary of the Chicago Employees associa-
ton. found hope of a future settlement
of all troubles between employees and
employers. To that bureau he declared
both sides must return in the END 10
find relief.
John Beattie, a representative of the
Master Painters and Decorators asso-
citation, speaking of the labor S1tua-
ton in New York. said:
ST do not want you to think the
men of New York are held up with
strings willingly or lack sand. we
have in this city an organization that
has successfully fought the labor
unions We organized our association
IS months ago and made a strong
fight. We formed an alliance with la
Dor after a lock out lasting 16 weeks,
which paralyzed business. Recently 1
asked President Roosevelt as an Amer
the responsibility on labor unions and
he said That's the thing that is
needed
The report of the committee on res
olutions which was adopted reaffirmed
the objects as adopted at the Chicago
and Indianapolis conventions, and
again declares:
1.-The open shop. Demanding only
good faith and fair dealing, it discrim-
mates against neither union nor indie
dependent labor.
''The freedom of the apprentice and
the right of the individual to have a
trade and follow it.
1.-The right of private contract, with
equal obligation upon employer and en-
ployes.
1.-THE right to work, limiting the hours
of labor, whether of brains or of the hand
is matter of mutual agreement, not a
subject fer arbitrary legislative enact
ment.
1.-THE enforcement of the law"
The resolutions direct the executive
committee to take the necessary steps to
secure a proper channel of activity for
the correlation of interested organizations
with the Citizens Industrial Association
of America.

GLOBE SIGHTS.


IFrom the Atchison Globe.1
We regret to announce that we find
in basket ball another red flag.
Know of any man who is giving tur-
keys to his employees this year?
Here's hoping that you will not feel
Very few people are natural GRIM
inals, but most people lack common
sense.
Why do people always laugh at a
newly married couple? What's the
joke?
1t is always proper to say that a
young person looks old, or that an
old person looks young.
Every parent thinks what a prop he
would have had in old age if only the
boy that died in infancy had lived.
An Atchison woman claims to be re-
fined because she reads Littells Living
Age, and it costs eight dollars a year.
When a man makes up his mind to
be good, he also makes up his mind
that it will be the fault of others if he
fails at it.
There is said to be one man in Atchi-
son who is head of his own house. He
is an old bachelor and lives alone.
A man is fortunate if he has passed
fifty, and can talk without having to
stop every minute and grab in the air
for a word.
An Atchison Princess who went to
work down town recently, complains
that the whistles which call her to
work do not harmonize-
Everyone past twenty complains
that he can't sleep "out of his own
bed" It is not his bed that he is used
to; it is the pillow.
An Atchison mother averages getting
up a dozen times in a night to see if
the children have kicked the covers off,
and never complains.
Be good to those who are sick. 1t
may be your turn next, and your good
ness will insure good care for you when
you are fiat on your back.

and finally passes out through the sta
ton meter into the gas holder, ready
to be delivered to customers of the
company.
One of the two new buildings is
called the boiler and generator house.
Here are located the duplicate boilers,
which furnish steam from which the
gas is made, and which also furnish
steam to run the various forced drafts,
exhausts and steam jets. The duplicate
generators, carburetters, superheaters
and Scrubbers are also in this building.
1t is to be a two story structure, built
entirely Of brick There will be two
floors, the second floor being made of
tiers and superheaters all extend up
through the second floor; the super
heaters extend clear out through the
roof. This building will be so feet long,
Al feet wide and AZ feet high.
The other building, known as the pur-
flyer and meter house, will also be of
brick of two stories. The purifyers will
be on the second floor; the first floor
will be used for mixing and preparing
the purifying material The meters are
located in an annex to the building.
This building will be As feet long and AZ
feet wide.
In order to make it possible to I'M
load coal economically from the pro-
posed sidetrack at the west side of the
plant in case the gas company should
find that the coal gas plant could be
operated to better advantage than the
water gas plant, the company proposes
to put in a commercial track for tram
cars, or an electric bucket system con-
Meeting the sidetrack with the coal gas
plant.
1t does not seem likely, however, that
the company propose to make much
further use of the coal gas plant. They
have probably come to the conclusion
that water gas can be manufactured
more cheaply here than can coal gas.
Superintendent Dieh1nann said today
that the company had not yet decided
whether it would buy its crude oil of
the Standard Oil company or from some
of the independent operators in the
southern Kansas field.

WELLS APPOINTS A CLERK.
State Auditor Names william Hayslip
of Topeka.

State Auditor Wells today appointed
William Hayslip of Topeka to be chief
clerk in the auditors office. There have
been numerous applicants for the place
but Mr.. Wells has had a hard time Sc
curing the kind of a man he wants. /.
H. Cole resigned to go into business for
himself, and Mr.. Wells offered the va
cancy to the clerk of the district court
of Neosho county, but he declined it.
Mr. Wells next offered it to Captain AL
bright, of the bank commissioner
office, and the latter intended to take
it, but the bank commissionership
came his way and so he turned down
the place in the auditors office.
Mr.. Hayslip, whom Mr.. Wells ap-
pointed today, is a brother-in-law of
]. S. Leach, one of the state house
newspaper men. AS the new clerk be-
gan work today Mr.. Wells hopes he
has got the place filed.

MRS. CHADWICK ILL.
Report of Suicide Leads the Police to
Investigate.

New York, Nov 30-Mrs. Charles L.
Chadwick, the Cleveland woman, who
has been the defendant in a series of
sensational suits for the recovery of
large sums of money said to have been
loaned her by individuals and banks is
seriously i'll at the Holland house. Two
maids and nurse are in constant at
tendance and a physician is always
within call. While the greatest secrecy
is maintained at the hotel and her pres
ence is not admitted, it is said that Mrs.
Chadwick is on the verge of a nervous
breakdown as a result of the publicity,
which has followed the suit to recover
nearly 100000, which was brought by
Herbert D. Newton, of Brooklyne, Mass.
Up to yesterday, while it was believ
ed that Mrs. Chadwick was still at the
Holland House where she registered
last week, there was no certainty that
she had not left the city. At the hotel
1T was said that she left there several
days ago and that her whereabouts
were not known. Last night, however,
when a report reached the police that
Mrs. Chadwick had committed suicide
a prompt investigated proved the re-
port untrue but established beyond
question that she was still at the hotel.

JOSEPH LElTERIND ICTED
Three Warrants Have Been Sworn Out
Against Him.

Duquoin. Ill, Nov. So.-It became
known here today that three weeks
ago Joseph Letter was indicted on
three counts on the charge of bringin g
armed men into the state, contrary to
a recently passed statute. No attempt
has been made to serve the capias or
arrest Letter, because States Attorney
Scott, who will retire, wishes to leave
the cases over for his successor.
The indictments were returned No
vember II, by the Perry county grand
jury, sitting at Pinkneyville, and in
clude Henry R. Plat, Joseph Letter 8
attorney. The indictment against each
man embraces three counts. The first
count charges them with having felon-
iously taken men under armed guard,
through Perry county on their way to
Ziegler. The second charges them with
having hired armed guards for the
same purpose. The third charges them
with advising, aiding and abetting the
hiring of armed guards and the trans
portation of men under guard.
The punishment for the offense on
which the two men have been indicted
is confinement in the penitentiary from
one to five years with no fine as an
alternative. Union miners and railroad
men in charge of the cars on which it
is alleged imported miners rode and
were guarded by armed men were the
witnesses before the grand jury.

In time of danger who is
the man who, while others
become panic stricken, leaps
forward and becomes a
hero? The manly man! Who
is the man who, in the midst
of business famine, pushes
his enterprise through strife
and trouble to success? The
manly man! Who is the man
who gains and holds the re-
spect and esteem Of his
neighbors and associates in
business? The manly man!
This "manly man" is a man
of courage, Of strong heart,
good health and self-con-
fidence-with nerves that
never finch, muscles like
bars of iron, a heart full of
manly courage, honored and
respected by all who know
him.
This is a message to men. 1t is to
men who want to feel like men, to
look like men, and act like men. This
is to men who lack courage, whose
nerves are shaky, whose eyes have lost
the sparkle, whose brains are mud
died, ideas confused, sleep restless,
confidence gone, spirits low and easily
depressed, who are backward, hesitat-
ing, unable to venture because they
are afraid of failure, who want some
body to decide for them, who are
weak, puny, restless.
1t is to men who have part or all
of these symptoms and want new life,
new force, new vigor-I offer to you
my wonderful new treatment.
