Ell Reno Supper Bell: The peach fruit
buds have so far developed at the pres
ent time that the estimates made three
days after the big storm are shown TO be
true. 1t was stated then that many trees
contained a half or third Of the crop OF
buds uninjured. that on most of the trees
from three-fourths to nine-tenths Of the
buds were killed. II the trees are exam
ined today 1t Will be seen that nearly all
Of the trees are developing blossom buds.
A tenth of the original number of buds
is ample to make a good crop. so II no

Arkansas City Traveller: W. z. Nc
DoweH was in Nardin, Oklahoma, yester-
day, and witnessed the first annual cee-
bration of the foundation of that town.
The town is little prairie town of about
go inhabitants and is located about ten
miles west of Blackwell. on the Hutchin-
son and Southern railroad. 1t has about
two dozen business houses and a newspa-
per, and for business is a very lively
and healthy yearling. The celebration was
one OF genuine border enthusiasm and
was a whooping success. The parade was
one Of the features Of the day, followed
by bicycle races and other sports. The
high winds which rolled the big tumble
weeds across the prairie and mixed them
with the celebration, as IL a part of IT,
was the only drawback to the day. The
celebration was closed with a grand ball

Light from Car Axles.


George II. Benjamin, OF New York,
writing to the Mail and Express on
the subject Of Light from Car Axles,"
says, in answer to a correspondent who
discussed the subject in a previous
issue:
1T is evident to any one who has
had any practical experience on this
subject that the writer does not at all
understand the subject, as his article
contains a number of gross misstate-
ments, evidently intended to mislead
the public and possibly to boom some
enterprise.
For instance. he states that to drive
the dynamo does not lessen the speed
Of the train or call for any additional
power from the engine, which is
equivalent to saying that no horse
power is required to furnish the cur
rent. In point of fact, the cost of driv-
ing the dynamo from the axle is greater
than where the power is derived from
q separate steam engine. and for the
simple reason that the cost of gener-
ating power in locomotive engine is
about twice that in a stationary en-
gine. Again, that such a system may
be maintained in running order by a
five minutes inspection of the battery
every six weeks meets every require
ment.' Every electrician who has had
any experience with dynamo electric
machines and storage batteries knows
that they require constant attention to
maintain them even in fair workin 8
order.
without discussing further the mis-
leading statements Of the article. |
would give as my opinion, after twenty
years experience in this country and
Europe, that such system is absolutely
| impracticable, for the reason:
at is essential that the apparatus for
| lighting a railway car be always in
stantly available for use. In the sys-
TEN proposed loose belt, or gear, i'm
perfect connection in the battery, poor
brush or circuit on the dynamo would
completely disturb the apparatus and
make 1t practically worthless for light
ing purposes.
Many other reasons might be given
but that stated ! have found in my ex'
perience to apply to every system pro
posed for lighting car through mo-
tive power derived from an axle"

This and That.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad company
has placed an order for thirty-five new
engines for freight and coal use.
The Williams Calk company, a cor
poration formed for the purpose OF
manufacturing horse shoe calks, will
on Nov. II apply to Governor Stone for
a charter. The applicants are e. b.
Sturges, George S. Sturges, John r.
Williams and Alfred Harvey.
The Lehigh Valley railroads order
for steel rails for the coming year,
which was placed last week, at s33 per
ton, was for 1900 tons, and was given
to the Carnegie Steel company. owing
to the great advance in the price OF
steel rails, the usual yearly order has
been somewhat curtailed in amount.
Superintendent Stillwell of the Rock
Island railroad, has invented an auto
matte electrical signaling device which
it is claimed will make it impossible for
engineers and trainmen to forget tele-
graph orders given them. The device
is designed primarily for use in the cab
of an engine, but may be placed on any
part of train. AS the train ap-
proaches every station a bell begins
! ringing and continues until the en-
| gneer touches a button attached to the
clip holding all orders given him. He
cannot press the button without look
| ing at his orders and seeing whether
or not he is to stop at the next station
or go on. Forgetfulness of orders
| causes a large share of railroad acct
dents, strange as it may seem, thai
they should be forgotten. when at al
times they are supposed to be in plain
sight of the engineer.

John A. Whalen, who has been ap-
pointed general foreman of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western loco
motive shops, position vacated some
time ago by f. W. Williams, to as
sumo the position of division master
mechanic at Syracuse, will assume his
duties on November l. Mr.. Whalen
has until now been round houseman at
East Buffalo, and previous to that was
gang foreman in the Kingsland shops.
Peter Richards, now of the Scranton
shops, will become foreman of the
round house at East Buffalo on No
vember /. This promotion of Mr. Rich
ards is to give him more intimate ac-
quaintance with the motor powers of
the Lackawanna with a view of still
further advancement for him later on.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Mrs. Megargee, who taught the COM
mercial department last year. was a
welcome visitor at the school Wednes-
day.
Wednesday the scrub" foot ball
team played the eleven of No. 3S at
the park. The game resulted in tie.
Thirty-three had the ball in the
scrubs territory nearly all of the sec
ond half.
Professor Derman succeeds very well
in getting the pupils, especially the
boys, to learn the selections in the new
singing book. The bass voices are very
numerous among the boys and in some
instances are used in making very fine
discOrds.
We congratulate the foot ball team
for their victory over Keystone on Sat
urday last, and hope to see them re-
turn from Williamsport having gained
q decisive victory, and thus add an
other star to their illustrious banner.
The school paper, Impressions, was
on sale Wednesday and found a ready
market among the pupils, 1t is sim
cerely hoped the students Of the school
will put their hand to the blow and
help the editorial staff mby furnishing
an abundance of material for the pa
per, and make it the leading school pa
per in this state,
In case the old gold and blue re-
turns from Williamsport with the vic
| torious eagle perched upon its banner
Superintendent Howell will give tn,
boys as a reward for the struggle
one OF the best foot balls that can b,
| purchased in the city. This is the un
solicited offer of Mr.. Howell and should
serve as a stimulant TO urge the boy
on to victory.
The first debate of this term will
take place today at the end OF the ses
sion. The subject, Resolved, Tha
Great Britain is justified in her pres
ent policy in the Transvaal." There /
no doubt but that the debate will prov
very interesting one. 1t is hope,
the Literary society OF the schoo
which has charge of this debate. Wi
have many more as it quickens the in
terest and advances the pupils in tn
knowledge OF the pertinent things,
