The Watch of Three Dia!s,

John W. Davis, an Alabama watch
maker, has applied for protection at
the patent Office for watch with three
distinct movements and dials. This
novel device is designed for the use OF
railroad engineers and conductors.
Three separate sets of machinery are
to be inclosed in one case, with one
face upon which three dials will ap-
pear. The probable Importance and
value of the thing can be best indi
Gated by the relation of an actual oc-
currence. On the Memphis and
Charleston railroad q few years ago
two trains collided, killing two men
and burning up large quantity of oil
and other valuable freights. The cause
was that an extra coil of the hair
spring of the watch of one of the con-
ductors became entangled with the
regulator, causing the crippled time
piece to run SO much faster than usual
as to gain twenty minutes in one hour.
The bearer of the watch in consequence
increased the speed of his train, and SO
unexpectedly met train at an unusual
place. Davis project is to furnish
three watches in one case regulated to
run together, SO that if one should sud-
denly become disordered the other two
would almost infallibly point out the
rrOr.-TeEds SJti2agS.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Delphos Republican: At Glasco
Sunday, Rev. Stayt baptised two
children. The Methodists immersed six
people and Elder Geo. Smith several.
Wamego Agriculturist: improve
ments at the NJ. E. church will begin
this week. The exterior will be neatly
painted. On the inside the walls will
be papered, the windows decorated, and
in other ways rendered more attractive
and comfortable. Rev. Winterbourne is
enthusiastic over the work.
Arlington Enterprise: Mrs. Nc
Kinney,wife of Rev. Mckinney, our new
Methodist minister occupied the pulpit
at the Presbyterian church, and preached
an excellent sermon to large and at
tentive audience. While perhaps some
attended through curiosity to hear a
woman preach it was but short time
until the curious were among the most
interested, and all were well paid for the
time spent at church Sunday morning.
Paola Republican: Under the pas
torate of Rev. W. II. Nichols. all the
services at the Baptist chruch have be-
come very interesting, instructive and
profitable. The attendance at prayer
meeting. young peoples meeting and
the Sunday school has increased very
materially, while the congregations
grow larger each Sabbath. The pastor
is earnest and active in his work and is
doing and will do much for the cause
of Christianity in Paola.
Burlingame Chronicle: Rev. A. W.
Lawrence, of the Presbyterian church,
breaches to large congregations. Rev
Lawrence is talented minister. His
sermons, though delivered without
written composition, show careful prep
arations, while his earnest and impress
sive style of delivery commands the
closest attention of his congregation.
Rev. Lawrence is growing man in
the work in which he is engaged.

STOCK AND FARM.

Osborne News: Several car loads of
heavy horses have been shipped from
this section to Washington territory,
and the dealers all report having receiv-
ed good prices and will come back and
pick up another cargo or two. This
part of Kansas has a lot of valuable
horses ready for the market.
Canton Republican: John Gifin,
near Galva, sold milk to the Canton
creamery during all of last year. He
averaged ten head of cows during the
last year, and the amount received for
milk exceeded S45 per head Mr.. Gift
fin says it pays to feed cows well, and
with these figures before him who will
contend that there is no money in a
creamery for the farmer?
Dighton Journal: We drove out to
o. n. Gouldin's, five miles northeast of
town. Mr.. Gouldin is one of Lane
county's best farmers. He has 100 acres
of small grain which looks exceptionally
fine, has the best garden we have seen
this year, is great chicken fancier,
raises altogether of the large, white,
Bramah variety, and is turning his at
tention, largely, to tame grasses.
Burlington Independent. Three cars
of horses were shipped from the Stone
Barn in this city which we're purchased
in this county by horse buyers from
the east. One car went to Boston, one
to ST. Louis. The average price paid
for the horses run something over 500
per head. There has been over $4,000
paid out in this county by horse buyers
within the past few months.
Kingman Democrat: Farmers are
beginning to figure on how they are
going to harvest their grain. Heads
are beginning to form in the m re ad-
vanced fields of wheat, and thus far not
a thing has occurred to check its rapid
growth. The indications are that King
man county alone will raise more than
wheat enough to bread half the state of
Kansas, with Oklahoma thrown in.
Paxico Courier: Farms are extend
ing gradually, but none the less surely,
over the gentle slopes that surround
Mill creek valley. Especially is this
the case north of here. The soil is good
AMI rough land is scarce, and there is
no reason why all OF it will not eventu-
ally be placed under the pillow. Orch
ards are being put out, neat buildings
erected, fences built, and all the evi-
dences of Thrift and prosperity abound.
Cedar Vale Star: Charley Aud will

eXDldlu WHY eAOSS WV SAeASA1OS OACAN
so tremendously.
One morning, recently, I happened
to glance from my window, and what
witnessed will serve as good llustra
ton. In vacant lot, lying down quite
near the sidewalk, was large black
dog. It was evident at glance that
his dogship was not in the best O.
health. for he would roll around in an
agonizing manner and occasionally give
forth a pitiful howl.
On the opposite side of the street,
about half block from where the dog
Law. a crowd of men stood conversing
Three of these men were policemen
and were carelessly swinging their
clubs, evidently much interested in the
conversation; SO much so, in fact, that
it was fully quarter of an hour before
the dogs bowling attracted their no.
tice. Then they Immediately turned
their attention to tine poor dog, which,
from its actions, I Judged was growing
worse instead of better.
After short consultation one of the
policeman, a big six-footer, left the
group and cautiously approached the
dog. At the some time [ noticed his
hand quickly disappear into his hip
pocket.
Right here, I may as well confess,
my vivid imagination ran away with
itself, as usual, and my heart almost
stopped beating at the picture it con-
jured up for my benefit. 1 held my
breath and waited, fully convinced that
I was about to witness most atrocious
murder.
The big policeman suddenly halted
directly in front of the poor sufferer
and-yes, 1 was right--out from that
pocket came his hand, and in it,
grasped firmly, was shining revolver
Stepping back a pace or two and tax
ing deliberate aim, he pointed the re-
volver at the poor dogs head.
Desperately 1 clutched at the win
dow-sill and waited. The suspense
was fearful, the silence oppressive. In
my imagination that dog had died
thousand deaths. In reality he still
lived, for just at that critical moment
he seemed to realize that he was in
danger, for he suddenly threw back
his head, and, looking the policeman
straight in the eyes, gave forth most
pathetic vail, that was almost human.
This resistance on the dogs part
was evidently surprise to the police
man, for the revolver was instantly
lowered, while the officer changed his
position, walking around until he
stood bacl, of the animal.
Again the revolver was leveled, and
again the dog faced the man who was
about to take his life, and howled in a
most heart-rending manner, as if beg
ging for mercy.
This performance was repeated sew
eral times, always with the same re-
suit, until the policeman gave up his
of putting the dog out Of his
misery and returned to his companions,
where he was greeted with a loud burst
of laughter.
suppose it is. entirely superduous
for me to add than they all disappeared
into the nearest saloon, where, 10
doubt, the big, tender-hearted Sly
footer was made to 'set 'em up" all
around.
Before they appeared again upon the
scene the poor dog had, to a certain
extent, recovered, and, having regained
his equilibrium, trotted off slowly down
the street, and was soon lost to view.
