Barber county has not been hurt by
hot winds or drouth this year the corn
crop is in good condition, and the fields
are generally clean. The wheat has
been taken care of, and is now being
threshed. Dat straw is short, but the

sugar; the beet crop Is not suffering,

The latest fad in the penny automatic
delivery box will be placed before the
long-enduring public in this city short
ly in the shape of a portrait-making
machine. The machine is q unique af-
fair and one that will probably be great.
ly patronized. The machine is in the
form of large square box mounted on
a hollow pedestal. On the front center
is a small lens, surmounted by a mir
ror, and a slot for the penny is in the
top lefthand corner.
The person to be photographed takes
his stand in front Of the lens, with his
back to post or rail fixed at distance
of three feet from the machine, and ad-
justs himself so that his full face shall
be reflected in the mirror. With his
left hand he drops 2 penny in the slot
and remains motionless for five seconds,
when the sound of bell announces
that the impression is complete. In
forty seconds more the finished photo
graph. on metal plate, drops through
the delivery hole on to small shelf
and the process is complete. The i'm
pressions resemble those of the cheap
glass position photographs, only that
tin-plate is substituted for glass.
The mechanism is at present secret,
but the principle appears to be that Of
rotary arm, which carries the plate
through series or chemical baths till
the impression is developed and fixed.

yankee Tricks. in England.

The distrust of things American which
obtained In England until not so very
long ago was we'll illustrated in a re-
cent speech of E. H. johnson. He was
describing an exhibition of the Edison
electric light, which was about to take
place at the Crystal Palace, England,
and for which he had made great prep
arations. "a large party of prominent
people were invited and had begun to
arrive. / was going to turn on 1000
lamps and astonish the Britishers.
Finally every thing was ready and the
switch was turned, but no light
hurried down to the engine-room to see
what the trouble was, and found that a
plug had blown out of the boiler, which,
of course, stopped every thing. They
don't do things in as great hurry as
we do over here, and the English en-
gineer said repairs could not be made
before next morning. But insisted on
repairs at once, and the result was that
ia short time my efforts were success
full, and the lights gave forth their
brilliancy. But" concluded Mr. john
son, there wasn't a man in all England
that didn't believe it was a Yankee
trick. IN. Y. Tribune

To Them the Union Pacific Attributes m
favorable Stories.
BosToN, Oct. 28.-Vice- President Lane,
OF the Union Pacific railway, was seen To-
day with regard to stories with which
the street" of late has teemed, derogatory
to the Union Pacific, its management, etc..
with regard to the boycott and the effeoa
thereof. Lane said: ''West-bound throuah
business ID really all that II affected. and
even this.can suffer but littlo." He also N.
marked that the Union PaoiAs- -Nosthwes.
tern alliance really concerns nobody but
the two roads in interest. What they do Il
their own business. The Union Pacific
people are not q. all disturbed BY the so-
called boycott, and they ind in the causes
leading to it and in the ill.feeling Of COM
petitors an inspiration for all reoent Wild
reports concerning the road. Stories OF aoA
cldents, Lane says, have been grossly exag-
gerated. Their system il getting an enor-
nous traftic at the present time-more, i'm
deed, than It can comfortably handle, and
Its equipment is necessarily getting severe
usage. few accidents have naturally oc-
CURED under these circumstances, but none
OF these have involved any serious damage.
Az regards the latest story from Chicago,
published to-day, to the effect that the
management was working tacitly TO wreck
the road with view to ultimately turning
it over to the Vanderbilts, Lane says the
yarn is too absurd TO deny, and its animus
is clearly apparent to anyone who UNDER
stands the present condition Of affairs.
