We feel sure that some of the Winchester
players will acknowledge that the Wood

game was called here at the 9th inning
on account OF rain, with the score tie,
It would have gone to Woodstock but for
A fairly earned run the umpire took
from them. So il should have been with

An Opportunity for a Wheat
Trust.

An opportunity for a Wheat
Trust.
FROM the Cristfeld Times.
The American farmer should be
warned against the manipalatlOns
of their crop by gambling specula-
tors, and made to realize this year
the civilized world Is, TO a great
extent, dependent nOon the sur
Plus wheat crop of America. From
most authentic sRd rellaS'e esti
mates, tue crop of other countries
will be cut short not less than 22O,
900, 600 bushels. while the bulplOs
crop of = merics will not exceed
I25, 900 600 bushels. Hence, the
logic OF the situation is that our
agricultural people ought to come
together aud combine and secure
the advantage of the increase d
price, instead OF allowing all the
benefits to be reaped by the specu'
lators In Chicago aud New York.

it. For 1898 comes still another claim
Of superiority in the way of a chainless
or non-link belt gear. The up-to-date
wheel of '9S is a bevel-gear. or shaft
and cog-wheel arrangement. The manu-
facturers of this particular pattern be-
ing certain of the craze have invested
$4,000 in experiments and the new
machinery necessary TO the turning out
of the bevel-gear. Already tens of thou
sands of owners of link-belt wheels are
dissatisfied and want a "chainlesS."
The virtues of the new vehicle are set
forth in the claim that it has no ''back
LASH no dirt, no fear of broken driv-
ing mechanism, perfect fabrication and
positive and instantaneous action. The
same claims can be made for any wheel.
The bevel-gear wheel is an experiment,
and a doubtful one. Rightly of all
parts is absolutely necessary for the
satisfactory working of such a ma
chine Any machine after being ridden
for a. while loses rigidity. 1t would
seem that the slightest deviation to the
right or left of the frame, up or down,
of the shaft carrying the bey-
els. would result in ricketts,. A strained
frame will prove fatal TO the smooth
working of bevel cog wheels. Every
thing and all parts must remain exact
" in line and in place, without play
or any character of looseness, or other
wise the bevel-gear will prove unsatis-
factory. We do not predict failure for
the "chainless," but it has chances to
take which, if happening, would not
affect the link-belt wheels.
However, two or three months will tell.

Imagine, if you can, single city In
