A WINNER.
The Keller ThreSher In the
Field. AcCO1np1ishes all
that was Expected.
a COMPLETE SUCCESS
A ThreshinG Machine That's Safe
OnIniCal.

Henry Keller has appreciated for
long time that in every branch of
agricultural machinery had been
improved and economical for the
farmer save the threshing machine,
and for more than year he has
been at work. brain and Drawn, to
the end of making an effective
separator which would do equally
good work with the best, be abso-
lutely free from danger either by
explosion or fire, simple in opera
tion so that no high priced expert
would be required to operate it,and
that could be placed upon the
market at reasonable price, and
yet accomplish as much work in
the field as any now in use. The
problem was an intricate one and
presented many sides-hence the
more attractive to Mr.. Keller. Well
| he has solved it. Three such ma
chimes of different capacity have
been completed and given field
trials, and are all that the inventor
anticipated. On the farm of Alex
ander Moore north of the city, two
of them, one of ten and the other
of fifteen horse power, were given
an exhaustive an critical trial in the
presence of a large number of peo-
| pie and every one of them was
as enthusiastic over the successful
operation, as was Senator Keller
himself.
In appearance the separator pres.
ents much the appearance of an
ordinary thresher excepting that
slowed away directly beneath the
machine close behind the cylinder,
is gasoline engine, which practi.
cally takes up no room at all-cer-
tainly none which has not been
made good by a more compact ar.
rangement and disposition of the
other parts of the machine. To
accomplish this many radical
changes have been made, and in
making them every feature has
been improved. The cylinder
runs over, instead of under-the
motion reversed from that in other
machines, return to the earlier
type. The vibrating devices are
so perfected as to give a complex
motion, insuring a saving of every
kernel of grain, and the cleaning
device is so thorough and complete
that the grain as it comes from the
machine looks as though it had
been put through a special cleaner.
/ The machines operated in rye
from the shock, cut rather green,
and the day previous there had
been a heavy rain. Under such
circumstances the separator was
put upon its mettle. 1t was just
exactly the character of trial that
Mr.. Keller desired. The straw was
threshed perfectly clean, critical

LEWIS, THE ROBBER
AND OUTLAW.
Local History and Romance.
[Continued from last issue. !

To resume, after this digres-
sion, the young married couple
started from Albany for New
York City. Still fearing pursuit,
at first they avoided the well trav-
elled highway but Malinda's feet
caused her trouble, and they de-
cided to seek the highway in hope
of engaging passage for her in
some wagon heading for New
York. A Yankee wagon was soon
metand passage engaged to the
city for Malinda while the owner
and Lewis walked. Lewis found
the man shrewd and intelligent.
The Yankee advised him to steer
clear of New England, but urged
him to gointoP oPennsylvania where
the great part of the population
were easily imposed upon, being
credulous and unsuspecting.
Hestated that his travelling breth-
rem made out better in that State
than any other and when their
plans and tricks succeeded with
out discovery, among themselves
they called it ''lifting Germany"
In New York, wandering about
late at night, Lewis soon found
congenialfriends bent on the same
mission as himself 1t was not
long before he had evolved out of
his brain plan for an Association
to enable these fellows, who prey
ed on society, to actin concert and
share together the plunder The
association was formed on the
same principles and with the same
officers as IL bank. Certain rules
and regulations We're adopted and,
to make them more binding, it was
suggested that they be written in
the blood of the members. The
suggestion was acted upon and
these outlaws gathered at their
rendezvous at an hour when hon
est men were asleep. Kneeling
in circle and clasping hands, a
vein in the arm was pierced and Il
basin, held by member, caught
the dripping blood.
1t was gruesome sight in the
weird light, aud what character
study these faces of hardened
criminals -pledging their faith
and honor with their life's blood.
There were twenty-one mem
bers and among them some des
perate, blood-thirsty villains.
Fictitious names were given the
members, and thatapplied toLew-

An exchange tells us that the
proper method to keep apples in
winter is to wrap them in old
newspapers so as to exclude the
