This is the greatest show.
ing the STATE JOURNAL has
ever been able to make for
O period of any six months
in its history.
This is a greater figure
than was reached by any
daily paper in Topeka for
the year 1894. The Ameri-
can Newspaper Directory
issued in June, 1896, and
covering the year 1894, gives
the average daily circula-
ton of the Topeka Daily
Capital for the year 1894, as
only STA. These figures
were furnished by the pub
fishers Of the Capital, to the
Directory, and are guaran-
teed to be correct by a for
felt Of 800, which will be
paid to any one disproving
their correctness.
The following figures, sub.
stsutiated by sworn state
ments in detail, giving every
issue for the first six months
in 1898, 1894 and 1895, shows

GAS FARM MACHINERY.
J. A. Hockett of Sterling Has Invented a
Gas Motor for Threshing Machines.


Gas Motor for Threshins Machines.
STERLING, Dec. 2s.-James A. Hockett
of this city has an invention to apply the
motor principle to threshing machines
and other large machines formerly pro-
PEELED by horses or steam.
For many years he has been at work
on an improved gasoline engine, which
is claimed to possess several advantages
over any other gasoline engine yet in
vented. His aim was to make the en-
CINE light in construction, economical in
fuel and reasonable in price, and he has
been entirely successful
About two years ago he applied this
improved engine to a carriage, and it
worked to perfection. but not satisfied
with this he constructed and operated a
16-horse power engine in connection with
threshing machine. This machine is
built upon much the same plan as an or
binary steam threshing machine. The
motor is under and between the large
drive wheels, and motion is transmitted
from cog wheel to the outside machin-
cry by a chain resembling those on a
bicycle, but much larger and stronger.
1t does not require as many hands to
operate this machine successfully as a
steam thresher does, and the great saw
Ing of fuel is another strong point in its
favor. 1t has been thoroughly tested in
practical operations this last fall, and has
proven everything that has been claimed
for il.
a company, composed partly of Kan
sas capitalists, has been organized. and
next year Will place the "Hockett gaso-
line traction engine" upon the mark ct.

nized him. He was carried to his rooms
within the hostelry and physicians were
hastily summoned. During the afternoon
the sick man began to rally and last even
ing it was stated that he was much i'm
proved.
Judge Baldwin has since 1861 been
prominent in the State and National
councils of the Democratic party, and he
has been honored with many important
offices. At one time he was the presiding
Justice of the old Court of Sessions. Later
he was law partner of Judge Joseph H.
Budd father of the Governor. He was
elected Mayor of Stockton in 1876, ,and after
serving his term was appointed by Cover
nor Irwin Director of the State Insane
Asylum in that city. In 1882 Judge Bald
win was sent to the State Senate from San
Joaquin County, serving his constituents
through four sessions OF the Legislature.
Governor Stoneman afterward appointed
him 10 the Superior bench, and he was in
1876 delegate to the Democratic National
Convention which nominated Tilden for
the Presidency.
appointed Code Commissioner by Governor
Budd. Since his appointment be has con-
fined himself very closely to the duties of
his office, despite the warnings of his ply
siciaus, and the stroke suffered to-day is
thought to be the direct result of overwork.
The sick man was born in Indiana, but
crossed the plains in the early days with
Captain w. s. Moss. who at one time
owned the Examiner. He is 81 years old.
Mrs. Baldwin said last night that the
Judge had been a good deal worried about
business and other matters lately. He
was attorney during the two early trials of
M. D Howell in the noted counterfeiting
case and was greatly interested in Howell's
acquittal.
Dr. L. C. Whitney, who is attending
Judge Baldwin, says the paralysis, he
thinks, was caused from overwork and in.
digestion. At o'clock he vomited large
particles of undigested food. His right
side, which was particularly affected, be-
gan al once to get better. He has the use
of his limbs and now recognizes people.

reached the public ears we felt that it was
necessary to announce it now, and so
notices were sent to the papers. Mr..
Miners parents are both here this evening
with my parents and they are on the most
friendly terms
Mrs. Miner took exception to an article
published in an evening paper yesterday,
saying: at is pure fabrication. No re-
porter from the paper saw me at ALL nor

Frank Miner had an ark at SausaIito
named the Wang, and Miss Silverberg
spent number of weeks during last sum-
rler visiting friends over there, and it was
then the young couple learned to love each
other with the result announced yesterday.
