victed in the United States court at
Cincinnati Of conceaiing the personal
account OF George Davis, late presi-

night of his own volition and unaccom-

feature of the Mccormick roller bearing is
seen in the foTm-or cage as it is called
which holds the rollers from running to-
gether, and if for any cause the cage is taken
from the shaft the rollers will not fall out
and get lost. In order to avoid the McCOr-
mick patent the other harvesting machine
company who claims to be the originator Of
roller bearings in haFvesters has cut out the
metal in the ring at the ends of the rollers
If the cage Is taken out the rollers slip out
and become filed with grit, or worse, get
lost.
The methods Of the Mccormick Company
result IN an annual saving Of many thousands
of dollars to the farming public. New de-.
vices are not embodied in their machines
until long and Oft-repeated trials have
shown them to be practical It has been the
same with the roller bearings as with every
thing else-AcCormick experimenting is
done at Mccormick expense, and not at the
expense Of the farmers, who are too often
duped by manufacturers who rush into
print for notOriety and bull the market with
impractical forms.

that the necessities Of one age should be-

binding was done By hand the left hand cut

the binding, so IN taking out the bundle
with the band around it, whether the man
turned to the front table or to the back
table he kept his position toward the
bundle itself-that is, with the heads toward
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

SHOUTS OF A MAD MAN.
Make Might HideOus at Times I'm the
County Jail NeighbOrhoOd.


County Jail NeighborhoOd.
The case of Jacob Franz. or Franck,
who was adjudged insane by a commits
sion Of lunacy some time ago, and who
was kept in a private asylum by subscrip-
tons gotten up among the charitable peo-
pie of Savannah is a familiar one.
Franck is now confined In the county
Jail, and at times his screams and shouts
make night hideous and alarm the neigh
borhood in day time. The man seems at
times TO suffer great agony and yells
frantically.
People residing in that Vicinity have
started petition to present to the county
authorities, asking them to remove the
prisoner at once, as It not infrequently
happens he keeps them awake all night.
The case is a particularly sad one.
Franck is a German subject, and for this
reason was not allowed in the state luna
tic asylum. The German embassy at
Washington was appealed to by Judge
Hampton Ferrill, when the case hrst
came up, and the matter was taken I'D
with the German government, but the
consul was not authorized to ropatrlate
the foreigner. II was stated In his letter
TO Judge Ferrill that the German govern
ment had no treaty with the United states
by which such a step could be taken. and
on the other hand that all such cases OF
Americans In Germany this country had
declined to repatriate them.
Thus being shut out the asylums OF his
own country and OF this country alike,
Francl, the mad sailor-a man without a
country-was at the mercy OF those who
might be charitably Inclined. At the IN
stance of Judge Ferrill, a handsome fund
was raised by subscription and he was
sent TO a private asylum at Milledgeville,
where he was kept until the money gave
out. He has been I'm the custody Of Sher-
ar Roman ever since. For awhile he was
kept at the poor farm, but lately he has
been IN jail.
There Is nothing that can be done with
him under the circumstances unless an
other subscription list Is made up and a
fund raised 20 put him In some private
asylum.
