LABOR SAvED-SoMETHING EVERY
FARMER NEEps.-The above cap
ton refers to the "Climax" wind
mill, patented some two years ago
BY Mr.. Charles Stewart, of Musca-
tine. The time has gone by when it
is necessary to argue in favor Of the
practical utility of wind mills for
stock wells and other farm purposes.
Indeed, their utility is not only grant
ed, but they are fast becoming con-
sidered an absolute necessity by
every man who cares for any con-
siderable amount OF stock. That
question being already settled, in
calling the attention Of the farming
community to the subject of such
machines, the only point of interest
to them is in regard to what mill
among the many offered for sale
combines the most desirable qualities
with the most reasonable price. And
it is right here that the "Climax" is
entrenching itself in the good will Of
the public just as fast as it is able TO
gain hearing-ths following being
among the many features in its favor
a. stated by the Muscatine Tribune:
First-It is . self regulator. 1t

nothing can materially affect its

Second-It has its maximum rate

sails with power to increase this
rate, 1t is supplied with self-acting
weights, brakes, etc, to bring the
sails in current with the wind, thus
preserving uniform velocity of the
wheel in varying currents OF wind.
Third-The same self-regulation

Mr.. Jelly says the Pacific came in
contact with another vessel, and that
he saw the lights; but in his interview
with Captain Gilkey, lasting twelve
hours, he made no mention of seeing
lights of vessal, and some think he is
tutoring under an hallucination in re-
gard to that matter. Captain Scam
mon of the Revenue Marine; and Cal =
tain Oliver, pilot. think it is more
likely that she struck on rock. as no
vessel ought to have been so near the
American shore. Mr.. Jelly says the
conclusion was only little more than
that felt from heavy sea striking the
vessel, so that there was not any con-
fusion or terror exhibited by passengers;
and that if boats could have been
launched and properly manned. as the
sailing was comparatively smooth, all
would have been saved. Jelly was
taken in charge by DR.. T. I. Minor,
United States Marine Surgeon, and
sent over to Victoria.
The Pacific was wooden side wheel
steamer of about 900 tons, built in
1851. and nearly rebuilt here by the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company two
years ago. She was ttocked aud sur
veyed trip before last. Her true value
was about $4,000 her cargo was hops
and oats, worth about $25, 900; insur-
ance on ship was SIT 500.
Captain Howell has the reputation of

AN OCEAN DISASTER.

The telegraph to-day brings intelli-
gence of an awful disaster on the Pa
cifc Ocean. The steamer Pacific,
which left Victoria, British Columbia,
on the 4th instant, colided with another
vessel and sank. There were two hun
dred passengers on board the Pacific
at the time of the accident, some of
whom got off on boats and RATS. but
all are believed to have been lost but
one man, named Henry F. Jelly, who
survives to tell the melancholy tale.
His condition, from the suffering OK
pelienced in endeayoring to cling to
the pilot house Of the unfortunate ves-
sci, is pitiable, and it is feared that his
mind is unbalanced. The names of
the passengers of the doomed ship,
with the exception of forty who were
in the Storage, are given in full.
This is the most fatal disaster that
has occurred off the Pacific Coast for
years. Two years ago the steamer
George S. Wright, which left Alaska
for Victoria, was wrecked and none
escaped to tell the tale; but the num-
Der of passengers on that i'll fated vessel
was comparatively small. compared
with the number on the Pacific.

They propose to walk the whole dis
tance-it being only some $500 miles,
they expect to make the trip in ninety
days. Col. Fitton is the leading spirit
in the movement, aud he has already
captured two more recruits, in the
persons of Joseph Grandelmeyer and
W. U. Wheatly. The Colonel is will
ing to take in as many as are willing to
undertake the trip, provided they are
good walkers and think they can stand
the journey. AS we don't expect to
go the Centennial, we think we won t

little thief named John Noonan, alias
John Nagle, aged thirteen, residing at No.
36 Washington street, pleaded guilty to
larceny from the person in the Court Of
General Sessions, and was committed to
the Catholic Protectory. 1t was conse-

young in years, was 'old in ini4uity,
and had already escaped from several cor

among his youthful associates the title Of

Judge Su hernland said that the youthful
prisoner was an incorrigible offender.
There was no Use in committing him to
