President Lincoln said that you can

you cannot fool all the People al the

Some machine men seem TO take 2.
L. Barnum' view that the American
people are bound to be humbuoged and
farmers in this country are subjected
and liable to fall into the hands of just
such men. Farm machinery now-a-
days is so near perfection that nearly
all kinds of machinery works reason
ably we'll, yet there is q difference in
the material put into them as is also
the case in prices with local dealers.
We believe in the theory of dividing
the profits with our customers and we
would rather sell great many goods
at prices, that at the end of the season
would leave hundreds of dollars of the
profits in the pockets OF our customers,
than to combine with other machine
men in raising the prices, thereby sell
ing but a little and dividing up the
trade, in order to keep machinery high.

Lynch ed bv d Mob,

At Eiroqua. Wisconsin, a young man
named Andrew Granstaff was arrest ed for
the murder Of the Drake family. Grand
staff is twenty-five years OF age and has
borne a hard reputation up and down the
kickapoo, where he has made his head:
quarters: For Sc veral years many depre:
dations have been laid at his door, but lie
has never been arrested for them: The ar:
rest was made by c. j. Farrell. of the Pink.
erton Detective Agency OF Chicago who
has done visilart work during the twenty.
four hours he has been on the ground.
In substance Grandstaff's confession is
that he called at brakes house and asked
Tor drink, which was given him. Then he
demanded money. Drake refused, and he
shot him dead. Mrs. Drake, who was put.
ting the children to bed, ran out and met
her death. The children were both awake
when their thrOats were cut The murder
CIR rifled the house and fled. This does not
FULLY agree with the position of the bodies.
AT a late hour one thousand determined
men surrounded the jail, but the author.
tiles refused to give up the prisoner. The
barricades were then broken down and the
officers were ovcrpowercd. An hour was
spent in breaking down the steel cage and
then the prisoner fought with desperate
fury against tho mob that sought to
enter. The strugsle did not last long,
hand and foot, led to tho
porch below, and there preparations
were made to hang him. A rope was placed
around his neck and the prisoner was ask.
ed what he had to say. He protested in.
nocence, but it was known that he had
made full confession in the afternoon
and he was not believed. After the second
elevation to the court house oak he made
q statement that he, Frank and Elisha
Carey had tho murder concocted and that
they had the deed accomplished before he
arrived at the house. None of the above
is thought to be true. Grandstaff hung
Tor eleven minutes before life was extinct.

Forgot the Song,

On the stage the prompter is the
safety from forgetiu!ness; but in the
concert theatre lapses take place.
Even great living tenor has been
known to retire in the middle of a song
he had been singing every week for al
most lifetime, because all memory
OF the words he wanted was gone.
Such a case of sudden fortgetfulness
took place III one OF the London
theatres early in the present century.
During the performance which seems
to have been OF a mixed character, the
gods in the galleries called for their
favorite song. "The Spris of Shilla.
1ah,' though it was not announced in
the bills; and Mr.. John Henry john
stone. {. we'll known Irish actor and
vocalist, came forward with alacrity
md good humor to comply with the
wishes OF the gods. Accordingly the
music played, but the singer stood 81
lent and apparently confused. The
symphony was repeated. but the same
silence and confusion on the part OF
the vocalist took place in rather an
increased degree. The symphony was
performed a third time, but all to no
purpose. At length Mr.. tombstone
came forward to their of the stage
and thus addressed the audience:
"Ladles and gentlemen, assure you
that !! have sung this song so often
that l forgot the first line" A roar
OF laughter greeted these words and
hundreds OF good. humored voices be.
gan to prompt the singer, who imme-
diately gave the favorite song in good
style and gained Increased applause

When the officers arrived at the Jail
with their prisoner, Mrs. Rawson had

The hall is the north nave Of the great en-
position building. cut off from the rest OF

stretches all tho way from Thirteenth
street to Fourteenth street, east and
west, and is 300 feet long and 100 feet

the east ond on Thirteenth street, as the
platform is at that end. The arrangements
Tor hearing and reporting are the best pos.
sible, and it is claimed that
the acoustic properties OF the hall
are so perfect that all the vast multitude
can hear an ordinary speaker. Beginning
ut the cast end OF the room are the seats
behind the chairman, which rise one Il DO We
the other to the height OF thirty feet; then
comes the platform proper, for chairman
and officials, and in front OF that, west.
ward, is a lower platform with tables and
chairs for 300 reporters. An open space
twenty feet wide extends from this to the
first row OF Delegates seats. and these
rise two inches to the foot clear back to
III" west end Of the hall. On both sides

narrow passages behind them; above these
private boxes are the rows Of seats for
spectators, and above them again the
great galleries, in which the seats rise cir

that all but ticket holders can be easily

TO Leeds is only 20 1.2 miles; but tho

OF the distance, the line is :. network

really q far finer performance than to

Scotland the Great Northern has its
rivals we'll in hand. It is unden,ably
the shortest and quickest route, and
1t has no great motive for further &C.
federation. 10 Manchester, however,
it is another matter. From Euston
to Manchester is only 1879
miles, (by the roal some OF
the trains take through the
Potteries it is q miles horter still:)
from st. Pancrass, it is only 10 Il;
while from Kings Cross it is no less
than 2O}. Moreover, il the Midland
route is somewhat harder, the North
western IS undoubtedly ~ great deal
easier. For the Great Northern there

us two rivals means simply that 1t
must run three miles an honr faster
than what are almost. ii not quite,
the fastest series of trains in the
world. And it does it; but only once,
it must be confessed, each way in the
~ hours. To say TINT it reaches
Manchester in the same time that the
"Dutchman" and the "Z,l." take to
Exeter. nine miles nearer, is only to
give i faint idea of the sp,ed, Fer
