to work to (ry and pna a luw (but
would allow alcohol to lio innnufac
tunid end uard for light and fuel
without having to pay tha prohibi
tive revenue tai, that hud been re-qulri-d
by lha govurnnmiit, go a to
fme Ih propla of the country from
the tyranny of the Htandard Oil Co..
which ha gradually rnlaed tha prlcr
of fuel oil from a low price to an
amount that I paying tha monopoly
iri'iu.y nrge dividend, thereby
levying an uareanonabl tag 00 tb
conaumnr of tba product of pclro
leu in.
After a long and hard fight In
emigre In which tba Standard Oil
Company did thrlr beat to prevent
the paaaage of the bill, we conquered
and now a farmer, or aeveral of lhm
may erect a allll, and maka alcohol
In any guaiilltlf, the aauia to ba do
Baturrd, or polaotind, by offlcera ap
pointed by the government, and may
then be ud or Bold to any ona un
der a permit which may ba obtained
from the govrruuu'ht.
It I now our duly to get the ap
pliance lor the uae of tha product
Inlo general uae, ao that there will
be g demand tor the alcohol, ao that
there will be dllllerli-i tnatatli-d all
over lb wi-at, ao a to uae tba waite
product of our farm to make fuel
for our rnglni', atovrg, both heating
end cooking, and to glv u one of
the brat light (hut you ever aaw.
I wlh that It were poaalble for m
to ahow the lamp with Ita beautiful
light, ao that you could reallie the
value of It ai light producing fuel.
Wherever I have demonatrated the
light. It ba not with an enthuHlaa
tlc reri-ption and It I only a qu ra
tion of tatting people are lha value
of dr-hhltired alcohol, to I nan re a
demand that will fill our lend with
diatlllerli-, making our own fuel out
of the email potatoe. aprouted
wheat, mall, and Imperfect apple,
and fruit of othrr varlellea, and In
fact, anything that I cowpowd of
augar or itarcb.
A corn field, with It atalkl filled
with awretnraa. will make large
quantltln of alcohol, and a amall
amount of land will ralae enough
fuel to keep our homr well healed
and lighted for the year.
Another good quality of thll al
cohol la that It I perfectly clean and
healthful. There I no dut, mroke,
eoot. or gaa, developed In the burn
ing of It fur either light or beat,
and tt dor not vitiate the air In the
room, a It rontaln oi)gn. In Itielf
and dor not have to uae the oiygen
out of the air In the room, ao much
a any other furl.
There I no w Ick trlmmlng to ba
done, a the wick I m-rrr on fire,
and a far ainuke la concerned,
the lamp chlmnci will never need
any waahlng. ao the lamp ar much
eaalrr to take care of.
You ran turn It off until there I a
very amall light, and o makee a per
fect night lamp, ri there la 00 ga.
aa there I from a krroaene lamp,
to make the bed room a hot-bed of
dlaraae.
There I another great boon to the
botiaawlfe In the alcohol flat-iron,
which will burn only about a ccnt'i
worth of fuel, rather than ten or fif
teen cent worth aa when you have
to uae a atove of any ort. You can
take thll flatlron Into any room of

VV nHIllllKlou, rvw. fil.-V'ue i.i i.in(
most dra ina tic Bcenea In tha senate
was enacted today wheu Owen, ofl
Oklahoma. Insisted, in tragis tones
and with face showing much qmo
tlon, that the flvo civilized tribes of
Indians were dead and that he, as a
member of tho tribe of Cherokee In
dians, was not under the control of
the secretary of the interior. The
eveut was rendered all the more In
teresting by tha fact that Owen was
sharply engaged In controversy by
Curtis, of Kansas, himself a Kaw Indian,
It was the first time that two men
with Indian blood In their veins had
ever locked horns as senntors In the
senate chamber. The controversy
arose In connection with the consid
eration of the Indian bill and was
precipitated by a motion on tho part
Tuaaday, February 25
Washington',' Feb. 25. Currency
legislation was the chief topic before
the senate today. For nearly three
hours Owen, of Oklahoma, spoke on
the Aldrlch bill, saying that he bad.
through ex-Senator Jones, of Arkan
sas, in 1900 proposed legislation
somewhat similar to the bill under
consideration, but with essential dif
ferences, which he declared would
have prevented Ihe recent panic bad
it been enacted Into law. Owen re
ceived close attention from the sena
tors nnd was frequently interrupted
with questions, which led to spirited
debate.
Teller declared that Indian bills
have In the past been put through
the senate loaded down with new
legislation that should never hava
been adopted.
Washington, Feb. 25 General de
bate on the army appropriation bill
tn the house of representatives today
again furnished opportunity for tree
expression of opinion on th issues
of the day. Garrett of Tennessee
nnd Hau of North Carolina arraigned
the Republican party for ita policy
with regard to the tariff, while
Hayes of California denounced tha
financial system of the United States
as "patchwork," and the Aldrlch bill
as "falling far short of the remedial
legislation needed."
The only remarks pertinent to the
army bill were made by Parker of
New Jersey, who spoke In favor of
the proposition for Increased pay
for the officer and men, and Kus
terninn of Wisconsin in support ot
restoration of the canteen.
The seven hours allowed for gen
eral debnte on the bill will expire to
morrow, when the measure will ba
read for amendment.
