large traction engine was brought into ac-

an immense stack of sheafed wheat. The
engine was quickly fired and the thresher
put in motion. The duchess stood very
close to the thresher and a gust of wind
brought the mass of chaff down on her
head and shoulders. She raised her parasol
in defense and laughingly retreated.

GIVEN TOO MUCH FREEDOM.
Bulgarian Government Condemned for
ToIerating Macedonian Outrages.

PHILIPPOPOLIS, Bulgaria, Oct. S.-Pub-
lie interest in the fate of Miss Ellen Nj.
Stone. the kidnapped American missionary,
intensihes here. There is widespread con-
demnation of the government for allowing
such freedom to the Macedonian committee
as 10 enable il TO engineer the outrage.
Miss Stone resided here before she went
to SalOnica and she is we'll known through
out the country. The patriotic Bulgarians
are incensed. as they recognize that Miss
Stone and her colleagues of the American
missions I'm Bulgaria and Macedonia have
been their best friends throughout the
troubles. There is no lack of indications
that Prince Ferdinand is imperiling his
own position by permitting such license to
the committee as TO enable it TO black
mail prominent people in support of the
Macedonian cause
Consul General Dickinson, when here on
his way to Sofia from COnstantin0ple
thought IL probable that if the brigands
understood from HEADQUARTERS that the
ransom would not be paid they would re-
lease Miss Stone. as the Macedonian cause
would not be helped by the murder of the
woman.

NEW DRILLING APPARATUS.
Improvement Expected to Revolution
ize Oil Field Operations.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, Oct S-A new apparatus
for drilling gas wells. which promises to al
most revolutionize that work, has just been
given a successful test by Gilchrist Broth
ers, of this city, in the gas fields northwest
of Elwood. The old derrick, always a
necessary and picturesque part of the drill
ing appliance. is entirely done away with,
and within the next year it is likely that
the derricks. which have long been so
familiar in the gas and oil districts. will
be merely relics of olden days.
The new drilling appliance is all carried
on a heavy truck, which may be moved
from place to place quite as rapidly and
conveniently as the ordinary wagon. Upon
ii are mounted the boiler and engine to-
gether with all the tackle and pulleys
necessary for drilling. At the rear is tall
''staff-pole" which when raised, answers
all the purposes of a derrick. Instead
OF the usual weeks delay in erecting a
derrick and getting it ready to work, the
new apparatus is in drilling order an hour
after it reaches the spot where the well
is q be sunk
