Our Increasing Employment of Gases

During The first half of the last GEN.
fury 1t was solid fuel only that was
employed for the generation of heat

century has seen the advent of liquid
and gaseous fuels, which under GER
tain conditions proved themselves of

now largely dependent upon their use,

ity, one may instance such manufac-
lures as those of glass, where in the
heating by solid fuel the necessary
temperature had to be impaired to the
mass of raw material through the
walls of a thick fire clay retort, the
difficulty of application here being de-
pendent upon the fact that the cru

this is now done by the utilization of
producer gas and regeneration in the
continuous tank process. In the same

TEMPLES OF MYSTERY.

No GENTLE Has Ever Witnessed Ger
emonies Performed Therein.
There is no institution in the civil
liked world to-day which stands for so
much of mystery, so much of supersti-
ton, so much of iniquity, as the Nor
mon temples. There is no institution
of which so much that is horrible has
been said by its enemies, and so much
of praise by its advocates, writes Ma
rian Bonsall in the Housekeeper Not
only has no gentle ever witnessed the
ceremonies performed therein, but only
such mormons as are in good stand
ing in their church. 1t is in the tenn
pies that plural marriages, which have
never ceased to be contracted in the
mormon church, are Solemnizd for
time and for all eternity; it is there
that the records of these marriages are
hidden, where no gentle eye may ever
behold them; 1t is there that all good
mormons are bound by fearsome oaths
to give entire allegiance and obedience
to Joseph Smith and those who repre-
sent him as the living oracle of the
church; and if we are to believe the
word of the church authorities, who as
sert that the Temple service has never
been changed, it is there that Brigham
H. Roberts, Reed Smoot, senator, and
all 1normons who have taken their
endowments," have sworn to avenge
the blood of the prophet Joseph Smith
upon the nation, and to teach the same
to their children, and their children
children.
/ found that the element of mystery,
which is so vital part of mormonism,
does more to entrap and enslave vic
tins for its>church, than the combined
oratory of all its high priests and
bishops, elders and missionaries. That
this mystery Is CHASTITY, unwholesome.
repulsive in the extreme, makes it spell
not the less, but more potent. The
mormon church has often been likened
to an octopus. which reaches it's hor-
rible feelers into every state In the
union, into Canada and Mexico, and
even to the uttermost parts of the
earth; which fascinates the ignorant
and religious minded as a serpent fas-
climates a bird. and crushing them
within its grasp, draws them to itself
and feeds upon them.

The Homecoming


There had been thunderstorm, but
the lowering black clouds had rumbled
suddenly off, and now, out to the west.
the sun was setting amid a riotous
wealth of crimson and gold.
From the cottage chimneys the thin
blue smoke wavered up in misty spi-
rails The rain had filed the air with
} sense OF freshness, and the uneven
roadway was speckled with puddles
which reflected the clear blue of tho
sky. Talking and laughing. the villag-
'ers were lounging about with the easy
ainlessness begot of the knowledge
that the days work was over and done
with.
Down the struggling village street
came young girl dressed in thin,
shoddy clothes. AS she threaded her
way down the soddened road her bear
1ng was by turns shrinking ant bold.
1t was as if she had made her
mind to some resolve, and intenaed to
carry it out however much her soul
might innately rebel at the idea.
AS she passed down the street the
villagers turned to look after her. Out
side the inn, group of men laughed
noisily as she passed. and only laugh
ed the louder at the look of defiant
scorn she cast at them.
Two slatternly women, conversing
Familiarity with each other across the
width of the road, stopped their talk
abruptly to stare at her as she ner-
vously stepped past them.

Meanwhile, with the women's words
ringing in her ears, the girl kept de-

cottage garden she saw one of her ia

Rock County Board Thinks Register
of Deeds Needs DiscipIining.
Twenty-one members of the Rock
County Board of Supervisors have filed
a petition asking that special session
of the board be held to consider the
advisability of looking after the abb
stract books of the county and the Gus
tody thereof; also of seeking to re-
strain the register of deeds from max
ing copies of the said registers; also
to secure from him all moneys, bonds
and fees belonging to the said county
not heretofore returned. This action
is due to the alleged fact that Charles
Wcirick, register of deeds, is to open
an abstract and title Office at the ex-
piration of his term of office and has
employed large force of girls to copy
the county's records. The Governor,
it is said, may be asked to retire Wei
rick on the grounds that he has been
absent frc.m duty and working in the
employ of an abstract company, and
also that he has used the clerk in the
registry office to superintend the work
of copying the abstracts.

TO CHANGE NAME OF CITY.

Claim is Made That Oshkosh" Ia
Taken ns u Joke In East.
There is quite a sentiment being
aroused in Oshkosh since the Booster
campaign for changing the name of
the city. This is specially in favor
among members of the younger gen.
Grafton, the older men of Oshkosh be-
ing strongly opposed to it. The claim
is made that Oshkosh is taken as a
joke in the east and is the subject of
jokes on the stage and in songs and
gives the impression to those who
know nothing about the city that it
is a jay town. Consequently the
idea being fostered is to change the
name to one more sensible, sedate and
less humorous
