Bound in a Eundle of Wheat-
An Iowa boy recently passed
through an experience which lie
-frill not Jorget if he lives to be
100 years old. He is' only live
years old, and one day when
his father went to the wheat
field to drive the harvester he
took him along and perched
him on the high seat at his
side. ;For a time the little fel
low watched the yellow wheat
lop over as it was cut in a wide
swath,! and the tall arms sweep
it back and bind it, and finally
the fat bundles being tossed
aside one by one. For a time
all this was very interesting,
but presently ' tjie little fellow
grew tjred and began to squirm
and complain. And then, just,
as his lather was leaning over
to look more closely at some of
the machinery, off tumbled the
little fellow- on the conveyor.
He shrieked just once,' and his
father -tried vainly to stop the
horses! But before he could
even slack the speed the 'bo"
had been driven up through the
elevatcjr canvas with half a bun
dle of wheat, the binding twine
had twisted- swiftly around his
neck and legs, and.: he was
rolled put on the "wide carrier,
securely bound in a wheat bun
dle. He was almost choked
and, there was a tiny bit of skin
torn from his shoulder, but
otherw
his fati
helped
worse
ise he wTas unhurt when
ler cut the string and
him up again. But a
frightened boy would
have been hard to .find.- Ex.

Geneva, Ala., in a letter inquiring
the price, of a dozen bottles, that hj
might not only have it for use in his
own family, but supply it to his neigh

aloDg without it, is because they do
not know its value, and what a vas

SHALL THESE THINGS BE ?

V
is in the 1 majority,- he can be

schools. From the standpoint
of a Republican and people who
intend to keep in with the Re
publicans, there is no logical
reason; why a negro should not
be county superintendent in
Edgecbiube, Halifax and twenty
other counties. And thev will
hold these' places if they win at
the next election. The fact that

A IVew. Safely Reyic.
A very ingenous and valua
ble contrivance for the saving
of life bv preventing railroad!
accidents through forgetful ness
of trainmen has been invented.
The machine has just' stood a
very severe test on the G,reat
Northern railroad, after having
been previously operated suc
cessfully on the St. Paul and
Duluth road. Practical rail
road men -have given strong in
dorsements to the device after
seeing its'work. The object of
the device is to provide an ac
curate and reliable reminder
signal and distance indicator
for locomotives, by means of
which engineers are prevented
from forgetting their train or
ders as to stopping or meeting
points. The mechanism is sim
ply but positively connected
with the forward trucks of the
engine,
'thereby accurately
measurirffr
the distance trav
eled, the dial placed in front
of the engineer showing 'cor
rectly the distance traveled.
Above the smaller of the two
dials are placed fifteen triggers
or dogs, pivoted at equal dis
tances around the centre.
When the engineer receives his
orders he sets one or more of
these triggers to a point ' one
mile short of the distance to be
traveled before reaching stop
ping place. The mileage indi
cator, on reaching- such point,
releases the trigger, which
starts a signal whistle blowing.
This continues to blow for one
quarter of a mile, promptly
warning the engineer of the
near approach to - stopping
place. If the engineer is inat
tentive and fails to stop when
this last mile has been run over,
the machine sets the air:brake
and stops the train for him. A
train similarly equipped com
ing in the opposite direction
would be stopped in the same
manner and a collision ; pre
vented. The device can be
made to run forward or back
ward. For foggy or stormy
weather, or for dark nights,
the device is considered espec
ially valuable for ordinary road
use. From the Railway World.
Olauy have said thtir children
would have died of croup, if Chamber
lain's Cougn Remedy had not been
given,", write Kellam & Ourren,
druggists, Seaview, Va. "People
come from far and near to get it and
speak of it in the highest terms "
This is equally true of this remedy in
every community where it is known.

Clarke died in Australia, leav
ing an estate valued at $25,000,

ered that one of the heirs to this
vast estate was Miss Grace
Clarke, a 14-year-old girl, who
lives with her mother, Mrs.
Emerson Cornell, j at No. G2
John street, this city,
j Imblay Clarke lived in Cran
buiy, a town about 12 miles
from this city, in the "forties."
He went West with the "Forty
niners." After a lapse of sev
eral years, when nothing was
heard from Clarke, his rela
tives wrote, to the Postmaster at
San Francisco. lie sent word
back that Clarke was paying
taxes on property valued at
$400,000. ' j
A few -years later his folks
heard that Clarke had gone to
Peru and was adding to his
large fortune. Then the next
news received was to the effect
that he had gone to Australia,
and was located near the Mur
ray River mines, ill Australia.
Nothing further was heard from
him until the advertisement
was seen asking for informa
tion regarding his heirs. The
matter was then placed ill the
hands of Vice-President Ilobart
and Governor Griggs. 1

The Cotton Crop-
The New York Word says :
"The manager of a great cot
ton seed oil plant informs", the
World that this year's! cotton
crop will fall about 2,000,000
bales short of the current esti
mates. "He gets his information
from his cotton seed buyers,
who go into every part
of the
cotton country, :uid
lie
is con
fident that his figures
curate.
arc ac-
is an
over estimate of liieerop which
threatens serious determination
to the planters. F-.r the. price
of cotton is det -nni .d by the
crop estimate, and ii j this is
greatly too high the price will
remain correspondingly too low
until the error becomes; appar
ent. By that time the; cotton
wilHiave passed out j of the
hands of its growers find an'
increase in tho price will inure
to the benefit of the specula
tors only."
It is diilicult to see on what
the estimate of . 10,000,000 bales
is based. ! , ,
The spring season was very
late, and the spring Hoods make
an important yield in tho flood
ed district impossible.
The later season was warm
and dry. Warmth is needed,
