Some years ago reporter for a New

interview Colonel Thomas j. LOwery,
who was then a prominent railroad
promoter, relative TO rumor to the ef-

cured an audience with the railway
developer, who was in conference at
his hotel with numerous financiers and

Chris Anderson, a pioneer Of

call at our office last Saturday
and relieved the financial string
ency, which at all times hovers

vocate for another year Mr..
Anderson informed us that he
and his partner, Mr. Miller, had
just had completed a fine well on
their ranch of 1890 acres which
they recently purchased from the
county. The well was drilled by
N. G. Nelson of Bigspring. 1t is
262 feet deep and has II feet of
water. The vein is in sand and
gravel and is a large one. Messrs
Anderson and Miller will place
first, class wind pump in their
we'll; they will build two large
cisterns with capacity Of 200
barrels ehch for storing the wat
er, and IN addition will have a
number of tanks. When COM
plete the Improvement will have
cost the gentlemen about S400,
but they believe that the money
will have been well spent. They
will then have one of the best

wool sold for Is cents Il pound,

william Hibbs Has Machine o Har-
vesung the Corn Crop.

William Hibbs has been busy dur
ing the summer months working at
the Thos. Sewers shops in this city,
endeavoring to perfect a corn har-
vester. He has had the machine COM
pleted for a number of weeks and has
had it operating in a number of fields
near the city with success. After a
few changes in gearing that have been
suggested by experience in the field
he will have the best machine on the
market and one that will revolution
ize the corn harvesting labor as the
self binder did the work of the small
grain harvest field.
Mr.. Hibbs' machine appears to be
rather bulky, but the amount of labor
performed makes ample excuse for
its appearance. The machine is taken
into the corn field and is driven over
the rows of standing corn. Apair of
long rollers widely separated at the
bottom, rising at an angle of about
forty-five degrees, straddle the row of
corn. The rollers, operating inward,
pluck the a of corr from the stalk.
The ears pass over onto another pair
of rollers that grasp the shucks and
leave the free ear, which is next
pulled up IN inclined plane and then
dumped into a wagon that is driven
through the field at the side of the
harvester.
The machine is built of material
that makes it as light as practicable
for successful operation, and the cost
will be such that it may be owned by
almost all farmers. 1t will be an econ
omy for the farmer, for the machine
is operated by two hands, and boys
may do the work required. The two
hands with the machine will do more
work in the field in a day than can be
done by eight hands working in the
old way.
If the machine proves in the field
all that it promises it will be a labor
saver for the farmer and a money
maker for the inventor. Mr.. Hibbs
is to be congratulated upon the sue
8 of his efforts. The machine will
be placed on the market, and if it's
succe is at all commensurate with
the prospects of sales there will be
another fine factory for the building
of the machines on a large scale start
ed in the city of Oskaloosa. Here's
to the success of Mr.. Hibbs and his
machine.

Sad Scene in a New York Subur-
ban Church.

New York, Oct. Rev. DR.. Gilbert
H.. Gregory passed away Sunday in the
presence of his congregation at the
morning service in st. Stephens N. e.
church, Marble Hill, at the upper end
Of Manhattan island. Physicians had
urged DR.. Gregory to retire from active
church work, as he had long been a
sufferer from heart trouble. They told
him that he might live for years IL he
would cease labor, but If he continued
to work he was liable to be stricken at
any moment. AS late as Saturday DR..
Darlington, of Kings Bridge, who was
attending DR.. Gregory, warned him
against preaching Sunday. The cler-
gyman said to his physician: "Iprefer
to meet death in that way to retiring
and Sinking my duty in order to live
longer"
DR.. Gregory was SO years old. He
had o preached in st. Stephens for
three Sundays on account of heart at
tacks, but when word was passed
around that he would resume his du-
ties Sunday the church was filed.
The service had progressed to the
singing of a hymn which precedes the
ermo DIR. Gregory arose and read
three verses of the hymn, beginning:
"Love, diyiSe, all love excelling." While
the music of the anthem filled the
church DIR. Gregory was noticed to seat
himself and then fall limp over y
of the arms of the chair. Members of
the congregation went to his assist
ance and two physicians who happened
to be passing the church were called
in. They saw at ono that the minis
ter vas beyond human aid, and in five
minutes from the time that he was
stricken DR.. Gregory was dead.
DR.. Gregory was born in Medina, N.
Y. His first paStorate was at Corn
wall-on-the-Hudson. He was at the
Forty-third Street Methodist church
in this city from 1876 to 1879 and at the
Central Methodist church from 1891 to
1896. His charges included Trinity at
Poughkeepsie, ST. James at Kingston
and st. Johns at Newburgh. He was
at Morris Heights two years ago, and
went to st. Stephens, Marble Hill, last
spring.

Victim of Foul Play.

Akron, O., Oct. ~1.-Saturday night
the mangledbody of Patrick Mullen was
found on the track of the electric rail
road at Cuyahoga Falls. At first it was
thought he had been killed by a car.
Sunday discoveries were made which
indicate that Mullen was murdered
back of a blacksmith shop about a
quarter of a mile away, where Mullen's
hat was found by the side of a pool of
blood. 1t is now believed the body was
placed on the track by his murderers.
He had considerable money when last
seen alive.
