AWonderful Machine.

On Monday Waldron Chase gave an
exhibition OF the work of McCor mick's
corn harvester on the farm of b. E.
Wadsworth west of town in the pres
ence Of about fifty people. 1t is GER
tainlY the invention Of the age and
will fill long felt want among the far
mers in taking care of fodder and at
the same time making the labor easy.
1t requires only two horses to do the
work and is very light load for the
results it accomplishes. This ma
chine is equal, if not superior. to any
Of the Mccormick inventions. Itbinds
the bundles squarely and butts evenly,
thus leaving the feed in shape to be
shocked and cure without heating.
The size Of bundles can, of course, be
regulated to suit the individuals idea.
The machine has been In use since 1890
and won the grand prize at the worlds
fair In 1898. Chase s. Coan are the
local agents for the machine at this
place and 1t is our opinion that a few
more such successful exhibitions will
create demand for it by every farmer
that has an opportunity of seeing it's
work. Thus the inventive genius of
mankind is ever progressing. The
work Of the farmer is being constantly
made easier and if anyone deserves a
lightened burden it certainly is the
farmer. The following statement sign
ed by number of our most successful
farmers and business men speaks. for
itself and is better recommendation
than we can give:
We, the undersigned saw the Mccormick
Corn Harvester at Work on B. E. Wadworth's
farm and it worked perfect in cutting, ele-
waiting and binding corn. draft being light on.
ly two medium horses being used and tying
bundles In perfect shape:

In answer to those who are inquiring
why it is that the INDEX was the only
paper in the county that got the pro-
ceedings of the populist convention
correct, we will state that Lutte Axllne,
wrote up" the convention Tor the
three other papers and no one needs
wonder why Lutte got out of his natur-
al frame of mind on that day. If Lutte
gets the atoms and molecules together
that Jerry scattered to the breezes on
convention day, that is all the public
ought to expect.

Our ball club went to Hazeltou Satur-
day to play the club of that place. 1t
required ten innings to settle the con-
test when the score stood II to Is in
favor of the inyincibles of Medicine
Lodge. One of the reasons for the
close score is that some of the first nine
could not go and were substituted by
members of the second nine, bu t the
main reason ia attributed to the un~
fair decisions of the umpire. Now,
"Itemizer," if this hurts you very
much we'll give you a piece Of our

The Hazelton correspondent to the
Cresset, "ltemizer," arraigns the kid of
this Office for something that appear
ed in the INDEX that did not meet his
views, but he is careful to confine his
remarks to the kid alone. Now we
think this an injustice as we'll as an act
of cowardice. But such are the meth
DDS of men of Itemizer's calibre. They
invariably attack individuals who will
reach the enviable station Of manhood
long after their miserable souls have
gone to their destination in the endless
beyond. (They roast men there, as well
as kids, Itemizer, n. b. It may be
that we are making many fatal errors
in not consulting "Itemlzer" as to what
shall or shall not enter into our col
umns, but for our part, when we want
to take in guardian and adviser, we
shall CLEAN the surrounding field well
and perhaps we shall be able to find
something more desirable than a little
lackey pettifogger whose intellectual
power is 30 limited as to render him
unable to carry case through the dis.
trict court and whose daily practices
are more nauseating than anything our
young nostrils ever came in contact
with.
