QUEER JUSTICE.
Two Farmers Go to Law and Unique
Verdict is the Result.

Two Bushnell farmers are just now de-
claring that the laws of Illinois are de-
fective. They do not present any argu-
ments in the case. All they do is to make
the bare statement and allow their eXpe-
rience to 60 as backing.
These two farmers did have unique
experience with the laws delays and &C.
centricities. They got into D. lawsuit and
neither won. Both lost and each was
compelled to pay for his experience.
This was how it happened:
The cattle of one farmer climbed over a
fence and into the corntield of the other.
Then the cattle ate too freely of the corn
and died.
''I want my corn," said the farmer
whose fence was down.
81 want my CATTLE" shrieked the other.
They then went to law.
A Venire of talesmen as extensive as
that used up in the Coughlin case was
exhausted before six good men and true
were found willing to swear to no preju-
dice or favor and to try the case on its
merits.
The remarkable verdict turned up by
these six men was to the effect that a
man who would not guard his property
with the necessary stake and rider de-
served to have his corn nipped, eaten and
stolen, and, on the other hand, that cattle
or other things caught browsing in for
hidden pastures deserved to suffer even
if death itself became the penalty.
Then the court took hand. 1t upheld
the verdict as just and according to the
law and evidence, and at once collected
the costs from the Joint contribution of
plaintiff and defendant. Chicago Tri-

They are remarkable pair, facing one

which is not so generally known. IS re-

equally extraordinary. Cochran has the
biggest head in either House of Congress.
1t is the longest, the broadcast, the thick
est. His hair is long and thick. his eyes
are large, bright, and protruding, his
eyebrows large and heavy, his mouth
shaded with muStache, and his chin
with little tuft of beard. HIS head Is
set on q short, thick neck, between
shoulders so broad and over a chest so
deep as to be disproporticnate with ms
legs and arms. 1t is the head, neck and
chest of one type OF orator, so that II you
had not heard him say word you would
think he was an eloquent speaker. when
he is speaking resem blance to the hon,
which everyone thinks OF at first sight Is
heightened by the way he tosses his hair,
shows his teeth and strides up ana down

most musical if he did not so soon be-
come hoarse with excitement. 1t fills

ponents can hardly refrain from joining

porters a faint way OF expressing the en-
| thusiasm which he has stirred up within
them. At such moments you realize the

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

| The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
! land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
| time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual tnstallments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
| had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
! The primary object of the purchase Of this
body OF land was the breaking up Of large
/ holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
! to diligent husbandry.

A New Wheel.

A novel system of wheel construction
has been recently patented by an Eng
lishman, which, while applicable To the
bicycle, carriage wheels and belt pulleys,
would seem to have special advantages in
the construction of heavy hy-wheels.
Such wheels, as usually built, require a
considerable amount OF expensive ma
chinery, which is avoided in this system
of construction. The ordinary wheel
arms are replaced by wrought-iron rods,
which are U-shaped. the ends of the Z
being secured to the rim by nuts.
The driving power is transmitted 10 The
spokes entirely by friction. and as the
arc of contact of the spoke on the rim is
fairly large, the principle of band friction
comes into play, so that very great tor
ones can be transmitted without any risk
OF slipping taken place. For a twenty-ton
wheel he proposes to use thirty-two
spokes, each two inches in diameter, Sc
cured to the rim by split nuts. which
makes very neat job.
Such a tly-wheei, as usually built,
would have six or eight arms, and when
running at high speed the centrifugal
force tends to bend the rim between, such
beuding being a serious addition to the
direct circumterential tension due to the
same force. The numerous spokes of the
new construction greatly reduce this
bending, while at the same time the
yyrOupht-irOn spokes are considerably y
stronger than the ordinary cast-iron
arms. and consequently it is claimed that
the snoke-wheels can be run at much
higher speed. In fact the inventor claims
the rims of his wheels may be run at a
speed of 300 lineal feet per second. Thus
lighter wheels can be used, which would
be specially advantageous Ill gas-englne
work, particularly where great regularity
OF running is required, as in dynamo
driving. g.-Philadelphia Record.
