In early times tallow candles were used, more than all other things, to light our houses of nights; but, in prooess of time, stearine candles and lard oil, to a considerable extent, took their place. By-and-by spirit-gas, and then kerosene oil, became to be much in use; but they proved to be dangerous, as well as unfashionable, and coal-gas, has well-nigh superseded them all. In January, 1853, the legislature incorporated the'Peoria Gas-Light and Coke Company'. Soon afterward a company was organized in pursuance to that charter. They commenced supplying the central parts of the city first, and, as they progressed in laying down the gaspipes, they superseded all other kinds of light; but, as the city is spread over a large space of ground, and the population is too sparse in the suburbs for it to pay well to take gas to them, there are many yet in the city who are deprived of the benefits of this modern invention. It is now, however, so far extended that in all the thicklysettled parts of the city the people enjoy this comfort, not only in the streets, but also in their houses. It was originally supposed that the coal for the manufacture of this gas would have to be brought from Eastern Ohio or Western Pennsylvania, because the vein of coal generally used here for heating houses and propelling machinery contains too much sulphur to answer the purpose of making gas. It has, however, for several years heen known that another vein of coal, lying higher and a little further off, answers well for gas-making.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Peoria, Illinois, Vol. 1 Had this been the doctrine of the authors of the Scriptures, we would to this day have remained ignorant of the important fact that Mr. Samson was an old libertine, and that Miss Delilah was any thing but a modest maiden. Nor would we now be aware of the more important fact that the man who, at one time, was 'a man after God's own heart', was at another time peeping into the garden at a beautiful woman, whose raiment, all told, was less than that of the woman Maj. Powell saw on the Colorado, to wit, a string of beads. Nor of the much more important fact that the old rascal had the husband of that woman killed, 'that he might pos sess the ewe-lamb' without annoyance. Nor would the still greater fact have come down to this generation that, even in that day, there was one who had dared, with reference to the doer of this great iniquity, to say unto David Thou art the man.
