PROUD TO KNOW HIM.
A Railway Cycle.

A new departure in the matter of
railway appliances is found in an in
spection car, which is made by n cycle
manufacturing company of Indiana.
This car is a cycle-built vehicle which
has four Hanged wheels to adapt II to
an ordinary railway, and is has for
some time been i'm satisfactory use,
both in America and on the Continent.
1t can be easily lifted on and of the
rails by one person, and supersedes
the use of locomotive for inspection
purposes, and saves the cost of one,
which amounts to about SIS day.
The cost of the new vehicle does not
exceed the average price Of the or
binary road cycle; 1t can be driven at
a speed of from fifteen to twenty miles
an hour, and will easily run up gra-
dent OF one In twenty.-Chambers
Journal.

At Sir divers residence incbin-
brooke House Cromwell first met the
King whom he was to depose. This
hall was favorite resting place for
the royal family going to or returning
from Scotland or the North of Eng
land. and in 1904, when both Charles
and Oliver were under six years OF
age, they met here, and they quarreled
so heartily that a good honest fistcufr
fight was the result. Probably repub-
licanism was the original sin Of OIL
ver's nature, for the royal person was
very severely handled by the young

EGG rREIGnrINd IN MISSOURI.
Astonishing Way Of Hauling the Fragile
Load Oyer Rad Roads.

The egg market of Springfield, Mo-,
has become the most important factor
In the commercial growth of the city.
The territory covered by the Spring
field egg dealers is very large, extend
ing southwark far beyond White River
into the second and third tiers of coun-
ties in Arkansas. This extensive re-
gion, lying beyond the reach of rail
way transportation, uses Springfield
as shipping point, and the egg hauler
is more familiar with the rough high
ways leading up the southern slopes
of the Ozarks than any other teamster.
He makes his regular trips the year
around, hauling from 1000 to 1000
dozen eggs at a load. From the ex-
treme southern limit of the Springfield
egg territory it takes about ten days
to make the round trip in the winter
time, the distance being divided into
four or five sections, each one having
it's well-established camping place.
The egg hauler has way of trans
porting his fragile freight that would
astonish many city people. He does
not handle his eggs with great care
putting each one into snug little pa
per box, as they are shipped on the
cars. He first covers the bottom of his
wagon bed with layer of hay or
straw, and then begins TO load the eggs
for the long haul over the toughest
roads in Missouri. The eggs are laid
in straight rows the long way of the
wagon bed until the whole bottom is
covered. In order that the load may
be safely hauled, it is necessary that
the eggs touch one another When the
first layer of eggs has been placed an
other covering of hay is put in the
wagon, and then more Of the tender
freight.
After three or four layers of eggs
have been put in the wagon the
freighters become apparently reckless
in their work, and proceed with more
speed. They walk about on the eggs
as though they were potatoes. The
protection of the hay and the evenness
of the pressure saves the eggs from
the heavy shoes of the transfers. Not
an egg brushes under the weight of the
biggest Ozark freighter. After the
wagon has been filled in this way and
layer of straw put on top of the load
weight having a pressure of about
500 pounds is used to hold the eggs in
position. Then the freighter is ready
for his trip to the egg market at
Springfield. The teamster drives up
and down the steep and rocky hills be-
tween the Boston Mountains and
Springfield with no more care than he
would if hauling load Of lumber. A
few eggs around the edge of the wagon
will sometimes be broken on the trip,
but the loss is surprisingly small. In
load of loo dozen eggs not more
than dozen will be found cracked
when the freighter reaches Spring
field.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Victoria, known during the earlier part
Of her career as the Renown. Within
a few weeks after changing her name
she had no fewer than five Of her crew
badly injured at gun drill, and on
January 80, 1892, she went ashore
near Cape Platea, on the west coast
Of Greece. 1t was thought at first that
she would become a total wreck, but
after a weeks incessant work, during
which her guns and stores were re-
moved, she was got of. 1t would
have been far better to have left her
where she was, for just eighteen
months later she was rammed and
sunk by the Camperdown. Admiral

A woman,s Queer Employment.

Miss Asch Of Aiken, s. c., earns a
good living by raising beagles. Her
work began by the sale Of pet dog.
One Of the favorite sports of the win
ter visitors to Aiken is rabbit cours-
ing. and the best dog for the purpose
is the beagle. AS both the game and
the dogs are small, the hunters, men
and women, follow on foot, and as a
rule end their chase by breakfast at
some picturesque spot In the woods.
Miss Asch sold her first dog to a rab-
bit hunter for $35. She at once saw
an opening, and had kennels built, and
invested her. capital In dogs. Now she
has thriving business, which not
only pays well. but Is both healthful
and pleasant, as she is very fond Of
out-of-door life and dogs.

AN ADV ACE.
In the Price of All Pottery Product to

Cent.

Special to the Register.
EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio, November 10.
The manufacturing potters have been in
session the past week preparing a new list
to go into effect after the first of the year.
At that time an advance in the selling
price will be made though the extent of
the increase is still a problem to the pot
tiers. The more conservative will be sat-
isfied with an advance of per cent. An
other faction insists that 10 per cent be
added The new list will not be announced
for some weeks and the present prices will
prevail without change until after the holi-
days. The movement for an advance in
the selling price has been on for some time
and the strike last week of the biscuit
warehouse girls and the settlement with
them on the basis of 12la per cent. increase
in wages forced the issue with the man
ufacturers. All the western manufacture
ers are represented in the deliberations,
which are being carried on independently
of the Trenton manufacturers.

CHICAGO, November 10-Albert
August Becker. the German butcher,
who on January II last murdered his
wife Rachael and afterward chopped up
and boiled the remains in order to
dispose Of them. was hanged in the
county Jail at 1905 o'clock this after
noon.
Becker's neck was not broken by the
fall and it was sixteen minutes before
he was pronounced dead
On the scaffold Becker protested his
innocence and declared George Suffer-
lin, the father of his second wife, was
the real murderer
The case of Becker bore remarkable
similarity to that of Adolph Luetgert.
Both were butchers and desired to
get rid of their wives to marry
younger women. Both men were ex-
tremely brutal, both using the same
means to dispose of the body-Iby boil
ing and burning. 1t was proven at
Becker's trial that after killing his
wife, he had chopped her body to
pieces, then boiled the remains on his
kitchen stove, afterward burying the
remains In various places.
AS in the case of Luetgert, the rings
OF the murdered wife played no part in
the testimony leading TO the convic-
ton. Like Luetgert also, Becker en-
deavored to explain his wife's disap-
pearsnce by saying she had eloped with
another man.

NEW YORK, November 10.-Respecting

for a great consolidation of steel interests

the combination last spring when the sit
uation was more favorable than it is to-
day, 1t seems scarcely probable that they
would attempt it at this time. New York
is in more favorable situation than any
other money market in the world, and with
normal conditions existing abroad we
should probably be receiving gold imports

WASHINGTON, d. c., November 10.
1t develops that the friends OF Sena-
tor Scott are hoping to prevent any
action in the Senate on the protest
against Scott's election made by John
T. McGraw and forty-nine members Of
the West Virginia Legislature. They
maintain that as McGraw is not q con-
testant for the seat he has no standing
before the Senate and that his protest
is worthless. 1t is maintained, in short
that MeGraw has no case, that the dep
ositions he has had taken have no va
lidity, and that there is nothing In ex-
istence of which the Senate can take
cognizanee. A strong Ayort will there
fore be made to sidetrack or pigeonhole
the contest and secure the acceptance
by the Senate of SCOTS credentials.
On the other hand. Frank l.. Welles.
McGraw's attorney, holds that the pro-
test made by the members of the Leg
islature constitutes a document OF
which the Senate may properly take
cognizance. He says that practice has
not been uniform. but that the Senate
has occasionally acted upon protests
of much less wei Iht and possessing ev-
en- less official Character or no Official
character at all. Mr.. Welles Is con-
fident that the Senate will not refuse
at least consideration in committe of
the allegations made by McGraw, and
that, whatever may be the nature Of
the report finally brought in by Tho
Senate committee the case win have
been thoroughly ventilated
SENATOR SCOTS CREDENTIALS
We're presented at the last session,
when Senator Elkins made an unsuc-
cessful effort to obtain action upon
them. They are now on the table OF
the Senate. together with the protest
of the forty-nine legislators. When thu
credentials are again called up a Dem
ocratic Senator will move the refer
ence of both credentials and protest
to the committee on privileges and
elections, OF which Senator Chandler 10
chairman. 1t is not anticipated that
the Senate will object to such refer
ence, and issue will be Joined In the
committee. II the committee takes up
the matter it may hear testimony or
appoint Subcommittee to take depo-
sitions in West Virginia, or It may act
upon the evidence already before 1t
contained in the dispositions procured
by McGraw.
THESE DISPOSITIONS
are now complete and will be shortly
published for the benefit Of the Sen
ate and also for the distribution in
West Virginia, where they win make
an excellent campaign document.
Ex-senator Faulkner, as the Regis
ter has already stated, will act az
counsel for Senator Scott Besides Mr..
Welles It is possible that ex-senator
German may consent TO aid In the pre-
sentation OF the McGraw case.
