STOCK FEEDERS, LOOK TO
- YOUR INTEREST!

am now manufacturing a Feed Cutter for
fodder, hay or straw, that is superior to any
other cutter ever invented. 1t cuts faster and
brushes the fodder, putting the stalk into such
a condition that cattle will eat all up. The
fodderafte being cut passes through acrusher,
thus making the hard corn stalk as soft as the
blade; while all other cutters leave the stalk
in short hard pieces, and the chewing of such
hard pieces by your stock produces sore mouths
which, instead of benefit to your stock, is
an injury. | claim this machine to he superior
to all others. To satisfy yourselves, feeders
of stock and farmers generally, are respectful
ly invited to call and see this Cutter & Crusher,
to be found at the foundry, near depot West

Wilson jumped inside the door and declared
that If the officer moved another foot towards
him he would blow his brains out He then

cape from the barn. In doing so he eneoun-
tered McAbee, whom he had likewise warned

BuRcIARY-NARRow Escape FROM DrATH.
Between ! and o'clock on Saturday morn
ing last. Mr.. George A. Taylor, bookkeeper
of the Taylor Manufacturing Company, this
city, had severe encounter with a burglar.
During the absence Of Hon. Charles b. Rob
eris, IN Washington, Mr.. Taylor occupies a
room in his residence. About the time indi-
Gated Mr.. Taylor was awakened By draft of
cold air passing over him, and on getting out
Of bed found his room door open, although
he was confident that the door was closed.
but hot locked. when he went to bed. He
returned 70 his bed, procured his revolver,
aud walked out in the hall to the top Of the
stairs, nj the head of which there is window,
aud the moon shining very brightly gave the
burglar, who was in the hall below, great ad. =
vantage. As soon as Mr.. Taylor reached
the head of the stairs the burglar fred the
ball passing within an inch or two of his head.
He at once returned the FIRE, and ran down
stairs in pursuit Of the burglar, who by this
time had gone into the rear parlor Just as
Mr.. Taylor reached the bottom of the stairs
he was again fired al, the ball passing close
70 his side and burying itself in the wall. He
again returned the fire and passed into the
parl0F, which was so dark that he could dis
tinguish nothing in the room, where both ex-
changed shots when they we're within eight or
ten feet Of each other. This time Mr.. Tay-
Tor shot evidently took effect in the burglars
hand, as he dropped Mr. Taylor's gold watch,
which was found smeared with blood, and
ran 70 the back door of Mr.. Roberts's law
Office, upon which was also found several
blood marks, left there in his attempt to find
the door knob. He, however, escaped with
out further injury. Mr. Taylor did not follow
the burglar, he had only one more charge
remaining in his revolver Notwithstanding
the rapid firing, and the danger to which they
were exposed, the ladies of the family gave
no signs of fear, and conducted themselves
with much propriety. Throughout the whole
affair Mr.. Taylor showed great GOODNESS and
bravery. There is no doubt but that the
burglar was concealed in the house, as only
the door of the rear Office was found opened,
and that, as stated above, was found to have
blood on the knob.
About ] O'Clock on Monday morning the
family were aroused by loud pounding at
the Office door, and Mrs. Roberts raised her
bedroom window and asked what was wanted,
when a man replied that he wanted something
to eat. She stated it was too unreasonable
an hour, but the fellow insisted on being
waited on. Mrs r. then informed Mr.. Tay-
Tor Of it, and he told the man to 90 away; the
rascal insisted on being served, and not until
Mr.. Taylor twice threatened to shot him and
he heard the click Of the revolver, did he de-
eide TO leave.

CHURCH DENoLIsHED.-0 Monday, says
the Hanover Herald, large force of volun-
teers commenced the work of destruction upon
st. Matthew Lutheran Church, on Chestnut
street, and that venerable structure is now no
more. The steeple, few piles of bricks,
some iimbers and scattered rubbish, alone
mark the spot where stood a building sacred
TO all our citizens through its age, and hal
lowed to many others by memories of happy
hours there spent, past now never more 10
return. In the year 1901, the Lutherans de-
termined to build a church in Hanover, hav-
ing previously worshipped in a spacious log
church, situated halfa-mile north of the pres
ent town limits. The only church then in the
town was the German Reformed-a brick ed
ifce built three years before in the lot still
used as q graveyard, back of York street.
The church was finished, except the steeple,
in 1903, and then dedicated, meeting of the
Synod being held here at the time. The cost
OF the building was over $1,000 In 1907,
money was collected to erect the steeple.
This was finally completed, the bells placed
in position, and May 2Sth, 1909, the church
was again dedicated. The cost of the steeple
was Sl293.0S. In August, 1852, the congre-
cation vas chartered and the name changed
from St. Michael to st. Matthew's. During
the ministry of Rev. S. Yingling, in 1870, the
exposed steps giving access to the audience
chamber were removed, and covered vesti-
bnles, with winding stairs, erected in their
places, one on each side of the steeple flash
with It. Gas was introduced at the same
time, and the basement fitted up more con-
veniently, the whole expense OF the altera-
tons being about SlT00.
