At the Fair Grounds-The Entries Coming
in lsapidly.
AS the date for the Dillon, Wheat &
Hancher race meet approaches it be-
comes evident. from the interest
which is manifested, that 1t will be a
big success. 1t will be given at the
State fair grounds next Friday after
noon. Chairman Hancher, Of the race
committee, has extended the date for
closing the handicap events to August
9Th, at six o'clock p. m. The open
contests will close on the same date
at eight o'clock.
Arthur A. Zimmerman, the cham
pion of the world. will positively be
here, and will appear during the after
noon. He has been brought here at
heavy expense. He will give several
exhibitions, going against time. The
entire correspondence with thinner
man, on exhibition in the Dillon,
Wheat & Hancher Companys window,
is the best answer to the reports which
have been circulated TO the effect that
he will not be here. The firm ex-
presses the hope that the rumor will
not be credited
All the officials of the meet. whose
names have been heretofore published,
as we'll as the racing men and their
representatives, are requested to call
at Dillon, Wheat & Hancher Co.'S Of
fee Wednesday evening after seven
o'clock p. m, August 4th, to obtain
instructions, and to receive their ad-
mission tickets. The track will be
worked to the best possible condition,
and accommodations for the racing
men will be the very best.

Between Teams From Wheeling and New
York Lodges of Elks.
All arrangements have been perfect
ed for the game of base ball at the
Island park this afternoon, between
teams composed of members of New
York and Wheeling lodges of Elks re-
spectively. The names Of players
have already been published. Man
ager Mike Warner has kept the wires
hot, and has been one of the heaviest
stamp purchasers in the city, during
the past fortnight, in his search for
players. He thinks he has team
which could give the Bostons tough
argument, depending largely, as a
matter of course, upon the ability OF
the local cOachers to rattle" the OPP
position.
The Elks state that all persons de-
string tickets for the stag social and
vaudeville entertainment in the even
ing, may secure their tickets from
members of the lodge, or at the door.
The stag social will be held at the.
Arion hall, and it promises to be
red letter event. The visiting Elks
alone will furnish two hours Of UNI
adulterated fun, and just think what
Mike Warner, Harry Mcclure, Harry
Wheat, Jack Sheppard, ct al, can do.

is, with the heads towards his left
hand; hence, in making the tuck he
showed the ends under the band toward
the heads. Grain is handled by the
shocker by grasping into the heads, as
shown in the illustration, and the tuck
should therefore be toward the heads,
so that it will not pull out.
The applications of roller bearings to
grain cutting machinery was made by
j. G. Perry in 1869, and his patent, No.
1854, for an improved reaper, showed
and described various ways of using
roller and ball bearings in harvesters.
Unquestionably the most practical and
satisfactory applications of roller bear
ings to binders and mowers has been
made by the Mccormick Harvesting
Machine Company. The Particular form
used by them was patented in 1882 and
Is now to be found in all Mccormick
machines. The especially valuable fea-
ture Of the Mccormick roller bearing

called-which holds the rollers from

The board is to meet SATURDAY. night
to take some action. 1t appears that
the tax delinquencies, are to be still
larger this year, and conservative esti-
mates put the delinquencies for the
year 1896 taxes at 20 per cent 1t is
alleged that the delinquent taxes are
more than the entire levy for 1896. At.
the last meeting of the school board
one speaker said it looked as if the
schools must be closed or the city must
default in interest, but that is pro-
badly very much of an exaggeration.
THE school board is objecting to so
heavy cut as is demanded in many
quarters, while other city departments
are to be run with very much less
proportionate reduction"
Read that and then think of the
promises made by the republicans last
fall, as to the immediate prosperity
that was to follow McKinley's cleo
ton!
The awful liars.
Then think of those other pro-
phecies of what would follow if Bryan
was elected. The banks were to
burst-the business men were to fail
the factories were to stop-the work
ingmen were to starve and beg. And
all those things have come to pass and
yet Bryan was not elected.

DingIey and the Farmer.

The humorous element in the Ding
ley tariff bill now being considered by
the United States senate is related per-
haps more directly to the farmer than
to any other class, for it is a palpable
attempt to curry favor with the agri-
culturist without helping him or taxi
ing away from any other portion of the
community, thing which cannot be
said of the bill in its relation to the
manufacturer. Indeed, the Dingley
bill, is so far as it may affect the Amer
lean farmer helpfully is SO much cheap
boncombe, and that the agricultural
classes will be taken in by so palpa BILE
trick is not to be believed for a mo-
ment. In view of the plain unmistak-
ablestatement of the oranges of the
country to the effect that an import tar
iff, high or low, could not benefit the
farmer, Mr.. Dingiey's insistence upon
his ill-conceived measure is hardly con-
sistent with his professions
A glance at the statement of exports
and imports issued by the treasury de-
partment indicates how onesided an
affair the high-duty tariff is. Mr..
Dingley, with great flourish of trump
cts, proclaiming his undying loyalty to
the American farmer, puts duty of 80
cents bushel on barley to protect the
farmer from the cheap European bar
| ley. But last year the American farm
err exported 1850, 331 bushels of barley,
while but s37 1884 bushels were import
ed. On corn Mr. Dingley favors tar
| if of Is cents bushel How this will
swell the Golfers of the farmer is shown
by the fact that in 1896 4,33s bushels
were imported, while we sent out to
the hungry world $1,000, 1885 bushels.
And oats must be protected, too, or the
first thing we know we shall be feed
ing our live stock on stuff grown by
those dreaded foreign paupers Last
year we were overwhelmed with i'm
portations, amounting to A., SOC bushels
while we exported the Insignificant
bagatelle of 1909, 500 bushels. And
rye: we are menaced with a repetition
of last years awful experience, when
154 bushels of rye were shipped into
this country while the unconscious VIC
! Tins slept. But Mr.. Dingley hastens
to the rescue with. tariff of 10 cents a
bushel on rye, SO that the American
farmer, who exported 9ss, 1866 bushels.
may not again be in danger of COM
plete commercial annihilationi
Nor is the dairy man forgotten.
There were exported 10, 373,s13 pounds
of butter last year. and foreigners
succeeded in getting into this country
52.067 pounds of the product of their
pauper cows Hereafter s cents a
pound will serve to check this disas-
trous food.

Intended for the West.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Globe, st.
James Gazette, Pail Mall Gazette this
afternoon all ridicule the idea that the
United States bimetallic commission
will have any practical results.
OF course; the whole world is lAugh-
ing at the United States. But then we
assure the people of England that the
administration is not big enough fool
to believe any such nonsense. Nor are
the inha bitants of the Atlantic coast of
the United States. They know which
side their bread is buttered on. This
''interternational commission" bust
ness is intended for us in Minnesota
and other western states, to persuade
fools, m the blessed name of Abra-
ham Lincoln to vote for Mark Hanna
and his gang, and against their own
interest.

The Difference.

Great Britain, or the United King
dom of Great acknowledgement, Wales,
Scotland and Ireland-has population
of about 100000 Great Britain
owns the telegraph lines within her
boundaries, and last year over these
wires were sent more than $4,000, 900
messages, while in the United States
of America, with population verging
upon so, 900, 900, over the wires owned
and controlled by one of the most in
famously watered corporations known
to civilized lands less than 100000, 900
messages were sent. 1t will be observ-
number of MESA ges sent was o. per
capita, while in the United States the
number of messages sent was about .O6
per capita, or one inha bitant of Great
Britain sent three messages 70 one in
the United States.
This grows out of the fact of govern
ment OWNER ship of the telegraph. Ad-
hitting that the people of the United
States are as intelligent as those of
Great Britain, as progressive and vie
with them in business activity, it will
be seen that if the people of Great
Britain sent $4,000, 900 messages the
people of this country ought have sent
over the wires 100, 900, 900 messages in
stead of 40, 600, 900, and this would be the
case if the government of the United
States owned the telegraph plants
