was an eloquent, gifted crank ana made
quite a noise in the world thirty and
forty years ago, but was never a success

the only happy and uncontaininated crea-
lures in this wicked world and the only
society he should mingle with as long as
he lived. 1t has now been abort twenty
five years since he swore off and from
that time his daily habit has been TO
visit some park in New York every day
and take basket of confections or
fruits and all his pockets full and make
headquarters on the same park bench
and gather around him 4 score or TWO of
little folks and feed them and play with
them and listen to them as they laugh

The building was dry and as a conse-

in the elevator, most of which was

Mr.. Beale estimated his property as

the holder and his methods be declared

following evening They We're there for

poor grace that gconsiderable bitter talk
was INDUCED in, among which the word

a religious meeting should be charac-

Shell Rock, Sept. 1.-This town has
been INDUCING in a sensation at the ea-
pense of some of the leading lights of
the Methodist church here. 1t seems
that George Mcintyre, we'll known in
Waterloo, leading light in Methodist
church circles and editor of the Butler
County News, conceived the idea of
stirring up the routine which WAS get
ting too monotonous. Therefore ne set
on foot a gentleman's club, which was
organized and became quite the thing.
1t grew TO large proportions and finally
it was noised about that the church
men We're all growing Interested so
much so that several of them We're
known to have remained away from
church TO watch an exciting domino
match. One day not long since good
church man was in the News office and
happened to listen to a converse ton
which was faxed up for his special
benefit. Something was said about thas
arrival of a new refrigerator fer thes
CLUB, but that the boys did not think il
quite large enough. 1t would hold only
forty bottles of beer and the club men
wanted one with a capacity of sixty or
more. The church man was shocked
and bounded away at once to tell the
Methodist minister AS a result a num-.
Der of the leading members of the
Ichurch have been asked To Withdraw,
and the Rev. Mr.. PEPPER pastor of the.
church, has spurned an invitation to.

Jefferson, Sept. L. Messrs. George
sFettengill, inventor, and II. c. Laub,
promoter Of the Pettengill patent car
coupler, have gone to Chicago to exc
cute an agreement With the Gould
Manufacturing Company by the terms
of which the latter corporation assumes
control of the manufacturing and sell
ing privileges Nf the coupler, paying the
ipatentees a royalty of 80 cents on each
coupler made. The Gould Company is
one Of the largest manufacturers OF
railway supplies in the United States
and have orders for several thousands
of the new coupler. This device is en-
stirely automatic and not only permits
the coupling of cars without human aid
but couples the air at the same time.
1T also permits rounding the sharpest
curves and permits the3coupling of cars
of uneven height. The inventor, Mr..
,Pettengill, is a resident OF this city. He
has worked On this coupler for nearly a
decade and with the financial aid of Mr..
I.aub, Of Denison, has finally brought it
to a successful. issue. Both gentlemen
