HOW TO OPERATE LAMPS.
A Few Pointers as TO How Good Results
May be Obtained.

At this season OF the year when
long evenings are coming on and SC
many people are obliged to use ker.
osene lamps, the following hints on
how to.secure a perfect light as
given by an aushority, will be OF
Interest
+ 1. Blame the dealer and manu-
faeturer. They may put water in
1.-THE oil but the probilities are they
don't.
2. Keep yoar oil can out of the
weather in dry place where wat
Ter and moisture cannot get into, it.
En- cold weathet don t keep it i'm too
/ cold a place. Oil burns, better if it
is kept about 60 temperature.
/ 3. When you commence to- use
lamps and lanterns in the fallu get
them all together and throw away
the old oil. Oil that has stood in a
lamp for several months to GER
tain extent grows stale. Dast and
dirt accumulate in it, and clogs the
wick. Perhaps it wont burn at all.
A. Throw away the old wicks
and put in new ones. See that you
get wick of the right size and
quality too narrow or too thin.
1t should just comfortably fill the
wick tube
5. Dry the wick thoroughly.
This is very Important. Moisture
interferes with flow Of oil through
the wick.
6. Before putting a new wick
into the burner, cut it evenly across
the top With pair of scissors, TAX
ing care not to jag the edges; then
insert it evenly into the tube.
7. Cut the wick perfectly level
with the top of the wick tube. The
perfect flame should be tulip shape
and level at the top. It should not
be pointed in the middle.
8. Put in fresh wick frequent
ly, wicks are cheap and it pays on
account OF better light.
8. About once a month boil
burners in water in which soda or
borax has been dissolved.
10. The lamp chimney should be
washed in warm, soapy water each
day, mop made especially for such
work being used. When dried, it
should be polished with soft news
paper or chamois.
II. Fill the lamp every day.
IL. When first lighted do not
turn up the fame to its full height.

The Fifth Regiment arrived
on the northern Light yester-
day afternoon and were re-
ceived by the citizens on the
levy with prolonged applause.
The usual procession was
formed and the march to the
capitol started. The streets
were crowded with spectators,
and flags and decorations flut-
tered everywhere. A trium-
phal arch had been erected
over Third street at the corner
of Cedar by the ex-members of
the regiment. Above the arch
was stretched a banner with
the names of twenty-three bat
ties and sieges in which the
gallant Fifth had been engag-
ed. There were only $50 in the

yesterday and the secretary appeared greatly
worried over Colonel Henderson's condition. The

Shaw also spent couple of hours inspecting q

Speaking Of public matters, the secretary said
that he had found politics very quiet in Iowa and
that the people were rather more interested in
the crops than in any other subject. He said
that George d. Perkins, editor Of the Sioux City

in the first time in the history Of the

drifting across the line into Canada. An
illustration of the great good that can
be accomplished by an organization of
this character happened at Madison to-
day. There has been some question I'M
der the new rate law passed by the last
Legislature, as to whether or not the rail
road companies would have right to
issue homeseekers tickets at reduced
rate to different points in the state. The
railroads have withdrawn their home
seekers tickets until the law could be
interpreted to them by the rate commits.
sion. It was the universal opinion of
sixty hard-headed, shrewd business
men that constituted the convention
here today, that under section eight of
the new rate law, the railroads would
be allowed to continue homeseekers
rates within the state. Armed with this
opinion, resolution was framed and a
committee presented same to the rate
commission today. backed by the en-
tire convention, which had very inter
esting session with the honorable gen
tlemen comprising the rate commission.
| Convincing and able talks were made
by different members and from the
straws that were dropped, it is believed
that the commission will so interpret
this law as to allow continuation of
the homeseekers rates. Wisconsin is
simply getting in line with other north
western states and anxious to get her
share Of desirable homeseekers and in
vestors. That she will succeed, with
the great big. men behind this move
ment, goes without SAYING.
