Gas Producing Machine.

The people Of this city should visit the
plant of the DOrnfeld-Kunert Co. and
learn Of the immense amount of work of
various kinds turned out by that COM
pany and DIS to its value to Watertown
as a manufacturing industry. The writer
visited the plant and while there, ex-
amined the wonderful gas producing
machine invented by C. J. Atkinson
and manufactured by that company. A
machine in the judgment of the writer,
which will in the near future
furnish cheap motive power for small
manufacturing industries, the cost being
far cheaper than by any other method.
By the nse of the machine to which refer
ence is made, gas can be manufactured at
only three [3] cents per 1000 feet making
it the cheapest artificial power in the
world and is destined to revolutionize
the systems now employed because of
its cheapness and usefulness.
It can be used for many purposes:
Heat, cooking, baking, corn popping ETC.,
beside driving machinery at an even
and steady speed and the fact, that it
requires but small space is one of its
best recommendations. While at the
factory, gentleman from Chicago was
there experimenting, his object being to
ascertain if the gas could be used sue
cessfully and economically in baking ice
cream cones. His experiments were de-
cidedly successful, for he learned that
! the cones could be baked in three
minutes and at but a fraction of the
cost under the old method and corn
conld be beautifully popped in one
minute every kernal being popped.
The machines are made in three sizes
the largest costing 1900 which is large
enough to pump the water from the city
wells at annual saving of thousands of
dollars to the taxpayers, requiring less
room and reducing the fuel expense to a
mere normal figure. Quite a number of
the .machines have been manufactured
and sold and are giving nnb0unded
satisfaction and the business means
much to WatertoWn, for the industry
will increase in volume, a large force of
mechanics and laborers will be employed
| to rent homes and patrOnize our mer-
chants.

Commission Government.

The commission government in Birm-
ingham, Ala, abolished over sixty offices
at a total saving to the taxpayers of
that city of $4,000 per annum and is one
Of the best governed cities in the world
1t might be we'll for WatertOwn to adopt
the commission system of government as
means to reduce taxation and give
greater satisfaction to the people who
are exceedingly tired of the present form
Of municipal government, which is
costly and unsatisfactory.

Printing Trouble at Portage.

In regard to the city printing, the
Portage common council year ago re-
pealed the printing ordinance which
provided for letting the printing to the
lowest bidder and this year gave the
printing to the ring organ although the
city is heavily in debt and there are four
newspapers printed in that city. The
consistency of the council was shown
however, in repeating the ordinance, and
it is surprising, that the council did not
repeal the state law. providing for letting
all municipal contracts for over $500 to
the lowest bidder.

The much abused Uncle oe
Cannon has, much to the astonish-
ment of the consistent republicans,
become the belltwether" for Len
root, Nelson and a few other insane
insurgents in the lower branch of
congress, who, but a few short
months ago, were calling him all
kinds Of uncomplimentary names.
1t is certainly a strange political
partnership, an ultra standpatter
leading a bunch who in the recent
past had damned him and the high
protective element in the party with
which they are now acting. Are
they honest? Ich weis NIGHT; but
entertain serious doubts and opine
that they will get what is coming to
them at the next election, for they
are certainly with the special
Interest," which they denounced
during the last campaign.

Are Cummings, Bourne, Bristow
La Toilette ct. al. republicans, or
simply political pirates, that they
should scuttle their own party to
accomplish personal ends? Their
refusal to abide by the action of
their party caucus, which they didn' t
attend, and insisted upon a recog-
milton on committee appointments
to which they have no legitimate
party claim, has placed them out
side Of the party, which it seems
they are only using for an end.
Their course is making democrats
mighty fast and will defeat the
republican party next year, and yet,
they will expect the support of
republicans. A consistent demo-
crat is preferable to such renegade
republicans.

ly low specific gravity are we'll known

But it's exact chemical composition
are understood by: very few. Ignite
coal consists 81 IS per cent moisture
or water, Is per cent volatile matter
or gas, 81 per cent fixed carbon and
6 per. cent ash. . On account of its
high moisture contents Ignite as
mined would be- sclassed as a low
grade fuel compared with Pennsyl.
vania coal. But 1t can be converted
by simple treatment into a high grade
fuel. BY removing the IS per cent
of moisture the heating value of the
coal can be increased from 1000 heat
units per pound to 10000, or a gain
of IS per cent. BY removing part
of the gas the heating value can be
further increased to 11,700 or a gain
Of 20 per cent over the raw Ignite.
The residue obtained by extracting
the gas from Ignite is entirely differ
ent from the original COAL The lig-
mite residue on being crushed shows
