A NOVEL SWINDLING DEVICE.

The fertility and ingenuity of the
professional swindler has received
another illustration. Superintendent
Kelso received, on Saturday, from u
resident Of MattOon ILL.,, letter in
closing photographic circular which
had been mailed to him, and which is
said To- have been successfully circu-
lated among country folks. Tire
circular states that it's author bought
/ ,2U0 yards Of fine elk stolen during
the Boston fire; that he borrowed
800 upon it from pawnbrOker, and
that his brother in Cuba had sent him
that amount to redeem the elk but
as he is sick and afraid TO sell it in
this city, he wants some man to buy
it at % cents a yard and pay 70: it st
$50 per month. The circular, which
is accompanied by fictitious pawn
ticket, is signed by David w. Eogle
OF No. 100 Fourth avenue, whose
purpose appears in a postscript
Therein he adds that bis wife has
just brought g sample OF the silk from
the pawnbrokers, which he IL closes,
and that SO will be required as in-
terest. This amount he cannot OBJ

circular is required u forward it and

the elk. Captain Irving and Detec-

The New York World says: When
We had thistles to exterminate our
practice was 10 allow them to grow
until halt the buds were about to un
fold. At that stage in the growth OF
the thistles there is less vitality in the
roots and more in the stems and leaves
than at any other season OF the year.
That is the time 10 strike death
blow. All other work was suspended
to work at the thistles They were
moved whenever the tops were so
tall that a team could not move
readily among them. Then the
ground was pioughed deep, and un-
usual care was exercised 20 break up
every iuch The ground near stumps

WARNINGS FROM THE SCAFFOLD.

To 'evil associations" and to the
drinking of intoxicating liquors nearly
every crime may be either directly or
indirectly traced. The dying words
of the two mUrderers who were hang
ed yesterday should be a warning to
all young men. Osborne, who was
hanged in Knox County, confessed
that he belonged to an organized band
of thieves and desperadoes; that ne
was at one time arrested and sent to
State prison, and that to "evil associ-
ations'' he owed his ignominlous end.
Here are his words:
"In conclusion, / will add, as a
word Of advice to young men, that
the bad things that l have done, as
here stated, were brought on me by
evil associations. / warn all young
men against evil company and infu-
ences"
And Driver, who was executed in
Chicago, is equally emphatic in at
tributng his great crime to whisky.
He declared:
"It was caused by the liquor
this poisonous liquor caused all OF it.
l hope you will take this advice from
me Giye up drinking EqEOr-giVs up
all drinking of liquors"
Here we have the solemn lesson
that liquor and bad company lead to
crime and ruin. Let all young men
ponder It and beware--Ch,cdgo Jour
nal.

MULTIPLICATION OF WEALTH.

The industry Of this age Is produe-
tive 70 an extent hitherto unrealized,
even in the most prosperous cOmmuni-
ties. Gladstone tells Us that the
wealth which England produced in the
interval Of 20 years, between 1900 and
1870, equals the aggregate Of the pro-
duction from the invasion OF Julius
Caesar 10 the year 1900; and he tur
ther estimates the wealth produced
during the 80 years previous This
gigantic result Is the achievement OF
steam. The domestication OF animals

of man. But the utilizing OF steam

Cheap Stump Fuller.

How TO construct a cheap stump
pnller, and what can be done with it,
is thus told by aeorrespondent of the
OtiO Farmer:
Have a chain made of the best
round charcoal iron, at least one inch
and one fourth in diameter and eight
feet long, with a ring on end two
inches and q half in diameter: one
side of these rings must be formed
like link. Attach one ring to band
of iron two and half inches broad,
ore inch thick and one foot in diam
eter, with a small offset for the ring
to lodge in. The band should be be
veled on the inside edge, to make it
slip on the pole readily, and prevent
cutting it. Cut nice, straight hick-
orys white oak, or locust lever, one
foot in diameter at the butt, and
twenty five feet long. Take off the
bark and Jumps smoothly put on the
band, let it come within two feet of
the large end, at which point put in
two small pins OF iron, to prevent it
going any further. Within four inches
OF the small end, put On a common OK
yoke clevis, with a ring in to pull by.
Hitch on two yoke Of oxen. Drive
on the right of the stump until the
band passes the stump few inches.
Pass the chain round the stump, on
the left side, and draw it tight, with
no twist in the chain A little above
the lever drive in common wedge,
and put the ring on tie wedge. Then
gee round in a circle, until the stump
is twisted out.
This machine will take out about
halt the dead stumps, in field OF long
standing, without cutting the brace
roots. Common sized green stumps
can be taken out also by cutting the
brace roo.s first, and digging little.
After everything is ready, with the
team and two hands l can take up
one hundred or more stumps per day,
as il is no draft at all on the cattle.
except the labor of pulling the lever
from stump to stump.
