The New Gas Light Attracts Much
Attention and Promises To Secure
Large Patronage. Process of
Machine and Facts of
Interest.
The Climai gas machine owned and
operated by the Citizens’ Gas and
Fuel Company of this city, is a won
derful invention, and for the past ten
days has produced the most beauti
ful and steady light ever seen in this
city, and it is constantly growing in
favor with the community. In the
stores where the light is in use, the
quality and fabric of goods are
brought out as never seen before un
der any artificial light.
The process of making this gas is
very interesting and the ladies and
gentlemen of the city are invited to
call at the power house in the rear of
Mr. Redman’s drug store and inspect
the workings of the plant any evening
between the hours of 7 and 9 o’clock,
when Mr. C. J, Johnson, of St. Louis,
and Mr. E. O. Carrington, the gen
eral agent for the United States, will
be pleased to explain the full process
of making gas. This plant is the first
and only plant of its kind run by au
tomatic steam power.
Water power is used elsewhere by
this company but not steam. This
steam apparatus is a unique fascinat
ing little affair and looks as though it
might have been made by the “cliff
dwellers” of Colorado, but it was not.
It works automatically, shutting off
and turning on its own fire when in
full blast,—in a word caring for its
own safety and utility.
The gas machine is a marvel of
ingenuity and by the scientific com
bination of air and gasoline in the car
bureter, a hydro-carbon gas is made
of 2 1-2 times the candle-power per
cubic foot of coal gas. This machine
manufactures the gas only as it is
consumed by the burner, no storage
of gas being required, and when all
lights are turned off, the machine
stops automatically, but will start its
self when one light is turned on and
will work on day and night and give
15,000 candle power of light at any
time it is wanted.
It produces the best quality of illu
minating and fuel gas ever made.
The gas gives more than double the
brilliancy of light than gas made the
old way from coal, and for cooking
it surpasses all other kinds of fuel.
No ashes, dirt or odor, but furnishes
cooked food with all the natural flavor
x’etained in it, making a “dish fit for a
king” and 1-2 gallon of coffee can be
made in 5 minutes, thus losing none
of the “aroma”. One gallon of water
call uu uruugiii tu uic uumug puuu m
7 minutes on any ordinary gas stove
burner. This gas produces with one
mantle a light of 386 candle power.
The power aud brilliancy of this light
was tested one night last week in this
city by a gentleman from Little Rock,
reading a newspaper article out loud
at a distance of 163 feet from the
light. We wish the Citizens Gas and
Fuel Co. all success in their enter
prise.
WAR ON BUCKET SHOPS.
New York, May 21.—Owing to the
success of the Chicago Board of Trade
in its efforts to eliminate bucket-shops
in the West, similar movements have
gained greatly.
On Monday next members of the
New York Cotton Exchange will act
upon a proposed amendment provid
ing that any member of the exchange
who shall be interested or associated
with, or shall act as the representative
of, or shall knowingly execute any
order or orders for the account of a
bucket shop, shall be expelled.
REVIVAL AT THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
A good audience heard Mr. Cline
again last night on the important sub
ject, “Will it pay to be a Christian?”
He will speak tonight on “The two
faces of God.” Those who have kept
up with his series of discourses, feel
that it is a liberal education in itself of
Bible study. Jle has done a fine work
for the church in Newport. Services
will continue till Sunday night.
REMOVAL OF DIVISION.
Walnut Ridge, Ark., May 21.—Gen
eral Superintendent Cotter with Di
vision Superintendent Hartigan of the
St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
Railway, were here last week looking
over the land lying between this place
and Hoxie, with the intention of lo
cating the Missouri division, which is
to be removed from Poplar Bluff, Mo.
Finding the location suitable, and that
the citizens, both" here and at Hoxie,
would donate same to the company,
they immediately sent surveyors to
lay < ff the land that they might as
certain amount wanted and name of
owners. Deeds will probably be se
cured this week. Orders have been
given to sell and remove the large
hotel now on their right-of-way, as
they will probably erect a modern
passenger depot on this location. The
passing of this hostelry is the de
struction of one of the landmarks.
It was built in 1872 by Mrs. Boas, and
many noted people have been enter
tained there, among them Samuel J.
Tilden, General Grant, W. T. Sher
man, Sam J. Randall. Having been
the railroad eating house its fame has
gone abroad into all lands.
