Controlling Steam.

A differential spring governor for steam
engines is among the recent mechanical
inventions of note, the device possessing
the advantage of being applicable either to
control a valve by which steam is admit
ted 70 the engine valve chambers, or 10 di-
rectly actuate the cutoff mechanism Of
any customary type of valve In its con-
struction there is a fulcrum lever one
arm of which connects the device with the
valve or cutoff stem, and the other with
a collar sliding upon the governor spindle.
The governor balls, or weights, have short
arms connecting with a bar fixed TO and
rotating with the spindle, and other arms
extend outwardly on the opposite side
connecting with the bar which is slidable
upon the spindle and which actuates the
movable collar. The angles formed by the
levers-which extend out from the oppo-
site side of the balls or weights-are in
ternal angles, so that, as the balls are
thrown outward, these balls are brought
more nearly into a straight line with each
other. A compression spring acts to re-
turn the parts when the centrifugal force
is reduced.-New York Sun.

Good Tea and Bad Tea.

Shortly before one Christmas the holt
day shoppers in a large city grocery wit
messed little transaction which set them
thinking.
A sleigh came jingling up to the door,
drawn by pair of handsome horses, and
with a coachman and fOotman on the box.
A lady buried in warm furs was handed
out and entered the store, humming with
Christmas activity.
Going to the tea counter, she called for
a pound of cheap tea. The clerk looked
up doubtfully, as if to ask whether he had
understood her correctly.
Its for poor person in the country"
the lady answered. "She would never no.
tice any difference.
Hardly had the little parcel been tied
when a rather shabbily dressed man, with
his coat collar up and his hands blue with
cold, stepped up to the same clerk.
Il want pound of the best tea in this
establishment, he said. Its for poor
thing down in the country. She probably
never tasted anything real nice in al her
life, but 1 want her to have some this

The clerk said nothing as he dive6 into
the tea canister, and the woman said both

to be hoped that the unconsciously given
lesson took effect.-Youth's Companion.

GENERAL cAss' CANOE VOYAGE.
On Old Time Newspaper Gives an Account
of HIS Journey West

A COPY of the Geneva Gazette Of Oct. g.
1921, has some points which may interest
my readers. The entire sheet Is about the
size of one page of an ordinary paper and
IL was published weekly by Joseph BOgart
at So 90 a year. Seven columns are devot-
ed TO the constitutional convention then
in session in Albany, the leading man be-
ing Martin Van Buren,. A number OF
merchants advertise their goods. and l
noted that iron is cents pound and
nails 10 cents. 'Sweeny's luck office"
advertises lottery tickets. the lowest prize
being $lp, while the highest is $50. coo.
Philip Church offers land for sale in Nun
da and Angelica, and payment can be
made in farm produce.
The most remarkable thing. however,
in the ancient sheet 10 the way in which
General Cass went TO Chicago To hold
treaty with the Indians, and this believe
TO be the most wonderful canoe voyage In
American history. Let the reader trace
on the map the following route from To-
ledo TO Chicago, which is thus given In
the Geneva Gazette: General Csss on his
route 70 Chicago assembled The Maumee To
Fort Wayne, from thence his canoe WAS
carried over portage of about nine miles
to the head of the Wabash. This river he
descended TO the Ohio and then descended
the Ohio TO the Mississippi. The latter
he assembled TO the mouth OF the Illinois,
one Of whose tributaries approaches with
In 10 miles Of Chicago"
The reader will see that in order tn avoid
a land journey Of 500 miles through u
wilderness a circuitous course of five times
that distance was endured. In this man
ner the government agent reached Chi
csgo, where he held a council with the In
dians. The direct journey can now Ia
made in as many hours as IL then took
weeks, and during the extraordinary ca
noeing the party probably lived ON fish
and game The route took them past St
Louis, and yet this was then the easiest
and safest way of reaching tine destination.
The following local items from The Ca
zstte are also of INTEREST: Two persons
were apprehended the 5th within the viii
lage OF Rochester for attempting 20 pass
counterfeit money. Seven state prison
convicts were at work on the squsduct in
the same village and escaped from their
barracks Thursday night and have not
since been heard Of " How much this old
copy Of the Geneva Gazette suggests the
progress accomplished since it, pgblics-

SALTWATER FAIR CLOSES.
It Contained Many Evidences Of Okla
homa's Prosperity,
ispatch to the Daily Eagle.

Special DISPATCH to the Daily Eagle.
SALTWATER. o. T., Sept. 20.-After four
days exhibition the Payne county agricul-
tural fair has closed.
1t is only five years since Oklahoma was
an unbrOken prairie, but the exhibits at
the fair, would, some of them, have been
a credit to some of the older states and
territories.
1t was too late in the season for dis
play of small fruits, peaches, early vegi-
tables. etc, which are already produced
here in abundance, but of wheat, corn,
oats, potatoes. sweet potatoes and late
vegetables the exhibit was good. The
most creditable display of wheat was by
Professor A. {. McGruder of the United
States experiment station located at this
point. He had on exhibition 135 of the 154
varieties of wheat tested on the farm this
year. Many of the varieties are of little
practical value in Oklahoma, while others
are well adapted to the climate and soil.
OF all the varieties tested the professor
pronounces the Currel rs best adapted to
Oklahoma culture.
OF other exhibits, W. H. II. Adams
showed wheat that produced thirty-eight
bushels per acre and tested sixty1three and
one half pounds per bushel. Ia his tests
on the experiment farm Professor McGru-
Nti 1S OUldlutu tH6 DtSU from
the Lincoln variety OF oats.
The ladies were on hand with displays OF
fancy work. decorations and many kinds
OF finery, also many handsome exhibits of
jellies, preserves and confectionery.
The baby show attracted a great deal of
attention from the ladies as well as some
anxious papas. The prize for the hand
soonest baby in Payne county was awarded
10 Baby Rogers, youog Populst, who at
present resides with his parents in the east
eud of the county.
The great attraction of the fair was the
races which took place on each of the four
days the fair held. The fastest trotting
time WAS made by Joe Orr in 2:27
The new Agricultural college building
Is at last completed and fully equipped
with all modern appliances, and the ses-
sion for 1884 80 has opened with an attend

Refreshing rains continue to fall every
two or three DAYS and the weather is cool
and pleasant. SO far Payne county has
escaped without any dangerous storms

CIVIL WAR PREDICTED.
Causes Assigned for the Difficulties CT
Americans in Nicaragua

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 20.-The Associated
Press correspondent in Nicaragua, under
date OF September Is. says: This is indie
pendence day OF Nicaragua, and it brings
this land oneday closer 10 the certain civil
war which will play havoc with prosper
ity for awhile. Bluefields has eujoyed n

pie reason that the Nicaraguans attempted
TO secure Office without even taking the
trouble TO consult the Americans Madriz
had stated that any successful candidate
who refused 10 serve in thr office To which

but the desermIned stand of Captain
O'Neill compelled Madriz to ignore mis- own

called on the Captain of the English
cruiser, Mohawk, TO protect them which
lie did. ana notified Captain O'Neill that
he had on board the eXiled representatives

the greatest excitement prevailed Those
at the government headquarters were

An incident occurred which proyes the
policy adopted by Captain Sumner 10 be
wise one. When IL was found impossible
to leave Riuefields before the 18Th. the
men under General REEVES, and even GEN
eral Reyes himself, expected an attack
from marines from the Columbia aud
harblehesd. Two tbree-inch Krupp guns
were run on; 10 suitable positions ana 800
men were hidden away among the plants
en- shore as sharpshooters. The prisoners
at this time were CHARTERED in a small
building behind The custom house
During the forenoon OF August
a.. several soldiers were seen TO
lash two tep-pound cans of gunpowder
together and attach fuse This deadly
Instrument was then taken TO the building
where the prisoners were Quartered ard
placed IN the room. The officers were STA
TONED by the powder with instructions TO

TOPEKA, Sept. 90 Attorney General
John Z. Little went to Kansas City yes
terday on official business, and thereby
hangs tale. He is on the war path and
went to the Kansas town to see about
some peculiar transactions that have been
on the taps for a few days past.
Early this week two or three men from
Kansas City, Kan, whose names the Popu-
lists refuse to divulge, called at the state
house and attempted to sell some al
fidavits purported to have been made by
Pete Kline, the notorious policy man OF
that place. The man approached some
members of the Populist state central COM
mittee and explained the matter, saying
that Kline had made affidavits that he had
paid ATTORNEY General Little 81 600 In
cool cash for protective powers as that
official might be able to furnish the policy
shop man in Kansas City. THESE afii-
davits, the men said. were in their bands
and the Republicans were abont to get
hold of them. but that they, the men,
would be able 10 prevent this for consid-
Grafton.
The proposition was met with great
deal of surprise by the Populist committee
and it is said that Mr. Breidenthal was
upon the point of kicking the men out OF
his Office when they made the proposition
referred to. This official and all other
state house people who have any knowl-
edge of the matter have positively refused
10 say anything in connection with the
purported transaction.
Mr. Little's associates decline to discuss
the occasion Of his visit TO Kansas City.
but it is very safe 10 presume that he is
there to investigate the men. 1t is also
said that he proposes TO go after the men
who were here from Kansas City under
charges of blackmail. IL is thought that
the POpulist committee will assist him
in an undertaking of that kind The Off
Gals, in many instances, profess ignorance
of the visitation, but some of them admit
that the men were at the state house and
upon the business mentioned. 1t seems
that the principal part of the negotiations
ss to the afidavits were indirect, Mr. Lit
tla-not being approached personally upon
