Gough-nour, who lives at Xo. 1002 Randolph street, has an ordinary Stewart Cook stove which has been acting so queerly that those who are at all superstitious would say that it is possessed of "spooks." Three times during the past year and a half has lettering mysteriously appeared on the griddles.

The first inscription was observed a year ago last May. The griddle was almost red hot and the word "Ivot" was plainly visible for quite a long time. seemed to be engraved in the iron and all efforts at erasure were futile. disappeared of its own accord as mysteriously as it came. The next time that this cooking curiosity made itself the center of attraction was on the morning that Ed.

WTitter's residence was completely destroyed by a bolt of lightning. Mrs. Goughnour noticed on the griddle the letters V. soon after lighting the fire. This signature appeared differently from the other." The letters seemed to be traced with soot and by briskly rubbing them with a cloth the sooty sediment could be removed, but the letters were traceable still, the lines of creasy composition.

Yesterday af- Prof. E. Miller, the rupture specialist, of Des Moines, is at the Central House. Ben. Wiley, of Omaha, is in the city.

D. H. Young, the newly elected member of the House from Delaware county, was in town last night. Rev. Dr.

J. O. Stevenson and Rev. E. Adams were at Masonville yesterday to organize a Congregational church.

They found a very satisfactory condition of affairs and the new church starts with thirty members, all of them enthusiastic for the upbuilding of a strong church. A neat edifice has been erected and the new organization starts under very favorable auspices. Dr. Evans, of Xew Hartford, came down last night to see his father, J. O.

Evans, who was quite sick. This morning he was much better and Dr. Evans returned home. He says the three men who were badly burned at the ratification meeting at Xew Hartford AVednesday night, are getting along well. They were firing anvils when in some way some powder became, ignited and two of them had their faces badly burned and the third had his hand burned.

The committee 6f the city council consisting of Messrs. Fullerton and Sedgwick, who accompanied ly Messrs. W. 11. Weld and 11.

M. Wyant, visited Grand Forks to investigate the new Universal Gas system, made the following report at the meeting of the council last evening: To the Hon. Mayor ami City Council ff the City of Waterloo: The committee appointed to visit Grand Forks, Xorth Dakota, and examine the workings of the Gas and Construction in that city, respectfully submit the following" report: We found the Universal Gas Co. manufacturing a gas a large proportion of which i3 air, and a small amount gas naptha, and cannot be burned in an ordinary lava tip burner, but must be used with a Wellsback burner (such as was used by Mr. Buxton in hi3 exhibition at Waterloo,) similar in style to an argand burner, but with a chemically prepared cone known as a "mantle," costing $1.50 complete; cost of mantle 35 cents, chimney 10 cents.

The manufacturers of these burners claim that they can make them to be used with any gas and that they will increase the light three times, using only the same quantity of gas as the common lava tip burner, and that the life of a mantle is 500 hours. But we found cases where these mantles had been in use from 100 to 150 hours and were burning badly, diffusing about one-half to three-fourths as much light as when new and diminishing as they grew older. We found that the Wellsback burner. and mantle have been adapted to both kinds of gas 'at Grand Forks, and in both cases produced a white incandescent light when new. WTe found by test from the meters that it took 5-10 cubic feet of the Universal gas to burn one hour, and 3 7-10 cubic feet of Springer, or water gas, to burn the same length of time.

The price of Universal gas is $2 per 1,000 cubic feet, and the Springer, or water gas, $2.50 per 1,000 cubic feet. Upon visiting the works we found that the Universal gas Is not made from crude petroleum, but from gas naptha, a sample of which we submit for your inspection. In examining a gas meter we found that a bv-pass had been connected with the different pipes so that the gas could be passed around the meter, and burned without passing through it. In no instance could we a properly itemized gas bill with a meter state ment containing former and present readings. Yet consumers stated that they were using about one-half the number of burners and getting as good light at much less cost than with the pringer gas.

We also found that there was a constant roar ana oDjectionaoie noise while the burners were in use with the Universal gas. On account of the railty and destructibility of the mantles, they are not practical for street lighting purposes unless protected from storms by another globe, and they are yet experimental, none being now in use. We believe that the Universal gas is as yet largely experimental and we would not recommend it to the city of Waterloo. From our examination we believe that gas lighting will be greatly improved by the use of the new improved burners in a short time; therefore we would recommend that, in order to give the Waterloo Gas and Electric Light Co. an opportunity to get burn ers adapted to its gas, its present con tract be extended one year.

By reference to the council proceed- mcs. published elsewhere, it wm oe seen that the suggestion embodied in this report was agreed to and the contract with the Waterloo Gas and Elec tric Eight Co. was renewed tor one year. Ruptures Cured. Prof.

Miller, of the O. E. Miller Company, Des Moines, will be at the CENTRAL HOUSE, Waterloo, on MONDAY, NOV. 13th, Where he will remain one week. See advertisement in another portion 01 THE COURIER.

In the official canvass of the vote in Dubuque county outside the city of Dubuque, Baldwin, the citizens' candidate for State Sena tor, gained enough votes to overcome Senator Shields' apparent majority of one in the county and put Baldwin 15 in the lead. Today the board is at work on the city precincts. In one of the country precincts it was found that the judges and clerks had failed to sign the returns and there may be an effort to throw the returns from this precinct out.

If this is done it will put Shields ahead. BY THE THOUSAXD Cloaks and Fur Wraps by the thousand. All sizes, all styles, an prices.
