A UNIQUE CLOCK.
Richfeld Mans Clever Invention-To
Be Exhibited at Fair.
Especial Correspondence

Richfield Sept. "A unique and inter-
esting product of local skill and ingenuity
has been completed by j. j. Jensen of this
place, and is now on exhibition at his
jewelry establishment. The piece of work
is clock similar to large weight clocks
In addition to the features of the ordin-
airy clock, however, it has a month and
a moon calendar, the latter showing the
phases of the moon on a dial correspond
ing to the day Of the month.
About the face of the clock is a globe
of the earth which makes complete
revolution every twenty-four hours. 1t is
set off by longitudinal lines into the TWEEN
ty-four divisions of time, and shows at
each hour of the day the surface of the
earth that the sun is shining on.
The clock strikes each quarter hour
with a sharp bell and the regular hour
with q gong stroke. By pulling a. string
on the side of the clock the last hour
struck will be repeated at any time and
as often as wanted up to the striking
of the next hour.
The clock complete stands about eight
feet high. 1t was planned originally by
Mr.. Jensen's father. who began work on
it two years ago, but he died last spring.
leaving it uncompleted. His son, knowing
the design of his father, took up the work
and patiently applied himself to its COM
pletion and now has the satisfaction of
seeing the aim Of father and son accom-
plished.
The clock will be sent to the state fair
after which it will go to Andrew Jensen
in the historians office. who is brother
to the maker.

Democratic Convention For First
Week in October.
MEETING OF COMMITTEE
FIRST STEPS TAKEN FOR CITY
CAMPAIGN.
List of District Committee Chairmen
Will Be Completed as Soon as Pos
sible-Primaries to Be Held the
Last Week In September-Meet-
ing of Committees.

The Democratic city committee took
the first important steps for the city
campaign at the meeting held last
evening at the home of Chairman Dun
bar. on North First West street. There
were present, besides the chairman, G.
A. Gibbs, Justice Pardee, G. B. Blake
ly, Charles Smith, Joseph Cohen, Jacob
Raleigh, Joseph Lewis, T. j. Leonard,
William H Evans and Charles Wilkes,
although the latter did not arrive in
time to take part in the deliberations.
District Committees.
1t was decided that the list of chair
men for the various districts would be
completed as quickly as possible, in or
der that the work of the campaign
could be prosecuted at once. 1t was
also decided that as the city and
county elections alternate, il would be
best TO have the last committee ap-
pointed the one to have charge of the
next election, whether city or general.
This will obyiate confusion and be
more satisfactory all around. No
change will be made now, however, and
the committee of two years ago will
have charge of the coming campaign.
Date of Convention.
The time Of holding the primaries, the
precinct conventions and the city con-
vention was discussed. 1t was informal
ly decided to hold the first two in the
last week in September, and the city
convention the first week in October.
1t was also decided in the same way
that the district committeeman of the
whole city would be called together at
an early day for instructions.
On motion of Joseph Lewis, the fol-
lowing committee, one from each pre-
cinct, was appointed to formulate a
plan for apportioning the delegates to
the city convention to the various dis
tricts: Messrs. Pardee, Evans, Raleigh,
Cohen and Wilkes.
An invitation was presented by Jo-
seph Cohen to the committee from
James H Moyle of the state committee
to cooperate with the state organiZa-
ton in arranging the reception to be
rendered to William j. Bryan next Sat
urday.

BEYNON ACCUSES GEO. SHOWELl
THEFT OF WATCH LAID AT HIS
DOOR.
Shovel Says Beynon Is Not Guilty
His Defense Will Be That He
Found the Timepiece.

AS a sequel to the charge of grand
larceny pending in Justice Pardees
court against Richard Beynon, the lat
ter yesterday swore to a complaint
charging George Shovel with having
stolen from H. J. Cooper the gold
watch which the Cisco agent of the Rio
Grande Western missed after wrestling
with Beynon the early part of July.
Shovel was arraigned before Justice
Sommer and pleaded not guilty. In
default of 5000 bond, Shovel was COM
mitted TO the county jail. His trial will
come up Tuesday morning.
When Mr.. Beynon was accused of the
theft of the railroad agents watch he
was very indignant. He did some
sleuthing on his own hook and arrived
at the conclusion that he had located
the thief, who pawned the timepiece in
this city.
Shovel declared to a Herald reporter
last night that Beynon was innocent
of the charge. The prisoner said fur
Their that the watch was found. He
was in the vicinity of the scuffie when
Cooper's watch was lost. Shovel has
been in trouble before.

line where this industry has a foothold.
The peddlars' union has no regular organ

dictator or boss who is self-appointed,
and holds his office as such by virtue of
his ability to thrash his associates into
submission. The boss this year is Wesley

points is warned and then hustled. Oc-
casionally the hustling occurs first, and
Considering that fruits of all kinds are

box. Any attempt to cut these prices
was punished by an APPLICATION of shoe
leather from a dozen vigorous young
feet. Early peaches sold at 8 cents
apiece or t:lree for a dime, and apples
and pears the same.
Good rustlers in the combine frequently
make 81 off a single train. During the
DAYS of the Christian Endeayor excursion
last year the members OF the combine
coined money. The current price of fruit
was advanced 1913 per cent, and even at
those figures the excursionists, tired and

literally. 1t Is said that the sales of
one boy amounted to 81 in single day.
1t is not strange. therefore, that the
members of the combine ride fine bicycles;
and are fat and saucy. Their harvest
lasts about six months of the year.
