GAS PLANT COMPLETE.
Customers Are Now Using City Gas
and Are Delighted With it.

For years Decorah has been want
ing a gas plant. Twice franchises
were voted, and still for a long time
many felt dubious about securing
such plant, but at last we have it,
and it's a good one.
Thursday night the filling OF the
mains with gas and the testing for
leaks, which had been going on for
several days, was completed, and the
lights in the company's Office on
Winnebago street and in front were
lighted. A beautiful soft light of
great brilliancy is produced from the
street arc, as we'll as from the in
terror lights.
Throughout the city workmen are
already busy installing the lights
and connections for stoves, burners
for heating, ETC., and it will not be
long before many of the homes and
business houses will be enjoying the
one modern convenience which we
have been compelled to do without.
1t completes the circle for Decorah,
and leaves little to be desired in a
city in which to live. We have
practically everything now except a
street railway, and the Dan Patch
Air Line is still headed this way

In a recent newspaper interview,
Wilbur Reaser, the New York por-
trait painter, stated that when his
painting of Senator Allison of Iowa
was hung in the lobby of the Senate
a precedent of forty years was brok-
en-. 1T is fact" said Mr.. Reaser,
that since the beginning of the gov
ernment the Senate has bought only
nine portraits for the lobby. The
first was Washington's, and the
eighth was Charles Summers. For
almost forty years nobody was con-
sidered worthy to follow in that dis
tinguished line. 1t was generally
thought that no other portrait would
ever be added to the group, but
when Senator Allison died, after
serving longer in the Senate than
any other man in the history of the
Government, the rule was broken
and his picture became the ninth.

man in Congress holding three COM
missions from the United States Gov
ernment at the same time. He has
first a commission in the SiXty-first

Sixty-second congress, and a COM

judge. On March 4th his commits
sion in the Sixty-first Congress will
expire, and shortly after that he
will resign as member of the Six

present term in order to do all he
could to further the legislative pro-

ScHuYLER'S HAPPY THOUGHT
How Revolutionary General Converted
Dutch Farmers TO His Plan
for a Canal.

1t is not known who first conceived
the magnificent idea of connecting by
& canal Lake Erie with the Atlantic
ocean. Experiments to improve the
navigation of the Mohawk by means
of swall canals and locks had been
tried years before De Witt Clinton
built the Erie canal. The purpose,
which vas to connect Lake Ontario
through the Mohawk with the Hudson,
met with a formidable obstacle at
Little Falls, where the river descend
ed for a mile or two over series OF
rapids
General Philip Schuyler Of Reyolu-
tionary fame had planned series OF
locks to overcome this descent of the
river. Knowing that the success OF
the project would depend upon the IA

ANOTHER GOOD WINsTED YARN
Eggs for Breakfast Are Cooked on
Way From Nest to Owners House
by Means of System of Pipes.

Winsted, Comb E. Moore, of this
place, claims to have the most up-to-
date hen house in the world. The
framework of the building is of pipes,
which are filled with steam and au
tomatically keep the house at an ever
temperature and act as brooder
The caves empty into a storage tank
from which the water is piped to a
trough automatically regulated.
An alarm clock in room over the
hennery releases a lever at feeding
time and allows sufficient grain for
one feeding to descend through pipe
into the feeding basins. In the bot
/ tom of each nest is an opening with
trap door through which the eggs
as they are laid drop into a pipe
leading into Moore's home. AS they
pass down from this pipe they are
automatically rubber stamped with
the date.
At breakfast time each morning
steam is turned into the pipe and the
eggs are cooked as they pass from
the hennery to the house.

POLICE GET NEW REvOLvERS
London Officers Are Being Armed With
Latest Automatic
Guns.

London.-In Ii short time London
will cease to be a paradise for swift
footed and pugnacious burglars. This
week the metropolitan police received
from the Home Office the first con-
signment of automatic revolvers, and
in the future at least two thousand
hobbies" will not depend upon fleet
foot and trusty fist to capture and sub
due malefactors.
The new revolver is an automatic
gun of American design and carries
nine cartridges, which can be fired in
five seconds. An extra magazine hold
ing eight shells will be carried, so the
next policeman who is compelled to
besiege an anarchist will be able to
fire seventeen shots at range of 200
yards before calling for the aid of the
military The weapon will be carried
under the policeman's tunic, and owing
to its fiat shape there will be no bulge
to betray its presence. The men will
be armed gradually, the first to re-
ceive guns being those on special de-
tails and patrolmen stationed on dam
gerous beats.
1t is believed that in time the whole
force will be armed. No provision has
vet been made for the arming of the
city police, but it is known that num-
Der of the men have bought guns at
their own expense and are carrying
them with the full approval of their
superiors.

New Dean of st. Paul Sees This
Country Supreme.
VISION OF YELLOW PERIL
Or. Inge In Address Declares Great
Britain Is Rapidly Becoming ET-
hausted of Her Coal Supply
and Good Labor Is Scarce.

London.-A grim picture of the de-
cline of the British empire, with Wis
ion of America as the ruling power
in the industrial nations of the world
and the shadow of the yellow peril
lowering over all, has been painted
by DR.. Inge, the new Dean OF st.
Pauls.
THE nineteenth century, ne said.
in addressing the Women's Diocesan
association, was, in many ways the
most remarkable century since the
beginning of history. During that cen
fury the United Kingdom collected a
population of forty-six million people
on two small islands. That was done
while Englishmen were making Eng
land the workshop of the world. Great
Britain has enjoyed certain exception
al advantages, of which they have
made the fullest use, but some of
these are passing away inevitably and
others are being wantonly sacrificed.
America is already, and must be
far more decisively in the future, the
center of the worlds commerce. Eng
land is no longer the most favored ma
ton geographically. Its coal supply
is being exhausted with criminal
recklessness, labor is no longer very
good and is becoming extremely high.
The twentieth century is spendthrift
keir to the nineteenth, while the Jap
anese and the Chinese workman is
content with a third of the European
wage.
