Five men OF better nerve never dealt

the other night in one of those uptown
clubrooMs that are SO quietly kept as to
be entirely unknown to the police and the
general public. The game proved to be
phenomenal.
The play was high. The party had played

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
The Best and Cheapest Market for All
Farming Machinery Il
Kansas City.

In this wide field that embraces all the
implements. machinery and appliances
used by the farmer and stock raiser, Kan
sas City takes the front rank as a whole
sale center. The settlement and develop
ment of Western Kansas, Western Nebras-
ka and Oklahoma brought immense ad-
ditional trade TO this city and gave an
impetus to the agricultural implement bus
iness which now enables the manufact-
urers and tobbers here to successfully sup
ply the demands in territory that is con-
sdered tributary to other large cities. The
settlers in the new country now being de-
veloped by the Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Gulf railroad will find that Kansas City
implements cannot be beaten IN price and
adaptability to their needs. In many To-
calities Irrigation has become a practical
necessity and Kansas City stands ready
TO supply windmills, pumps, etc. furnish
ing a quick, economical solution of the
question. The windmill Is becoming rec
ognized as necessity on every well-man-
working without expense or attention, and
always fulfilling its allotted task. It stands
without an equal in the economy OF the
farm.
The gasoline engine has been now per-
fected up to point that makes 1t the most
desirable motive power for small manu-
factories. printing Offices. and general pur-
poses wherever moderate power at a nomi-
nal expense Is required. Thousands of
them are now In use and giving satisfac-
ton everywhere. They do not present as
many danger elements as a gasoline stove,
and they can be wisely adopted wherever
o constant. steady engine is required for
work.

market at a price not greatly to exceed
that Of ordinary lime. and in all the large
cities 1t is being used to the exclusion of
lime mortar in all brick and stonework,
and its use should become general.
The process of manufacture is as fol-
lows: The cement rock, when quarried
and broken into pieces of suitable size. is
properly burned in kilns especially con-
structed for that purpose. After the i'm
portant process Of calcination, the material
is drawn out Of the kilns and carefully in
spected. AS much of it as is properly
burned is sent to the mills to be finely
ground and otherwise prepared for the
market. Great care and a thorough knowl-
edge of the art of making cement are in
dispensable to the production Of an article
of such quality and character as will give
general satisfaction and insure uniform re-
suits. After the cement is properly pre-
pared it is packed into barrels, paper
sacks and cotton bags and shipped to
points of destination.
The uses of cement are various and nu-
merous. 1t is the only proper material for
use in mortars for the construction Of
bridge piers. stone foundations. sewers
reservoirs. gas and water tanks. as well
as for brick and stonework Of important
and substantial buildings. 1t Is very ex-
tensively used for concrete foundations for
street paving in all the principal cities of
the country, cellar floors. cisterns, side
walks, etc.
