New York Police Find Body of a
Boy In a Bag.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-What may turn
out to be murder mystery was discov-
cred today when the body of 6.year-o old
boy was found in a bag at 361 West
Twenty. second street. The body was
clothed only in pair of tight cotton
drawers. but in the bag with the body
was number of garments, which evi.
IDENTIFY had belonged TO the lad. Except
for a laceration on the boys abdomen
there was no mark of violence on the
body.
On the front of cap found in the bag
in gold lace is an emblem of snip. On
the side were the letters ~. S.
The police believe the child was muir
dered and that the body was being car
ried to the river when it became too
heavy, and as in number of similar
cases, was deposited i'll the most conve-
nient place. An autopsy will be per.
formed.
The body was identified by Sydney
Ryan, a cook of 300 West Twenty first
street, as that of his son, Albert. Ryan
said the last time he had seen the boy
alive was yesterday at O'Clock, when
he was playing on the street i'll front of
his home. He said he knew of no rea.
son why his son should have been killed,
as the family had no enemy.

SHERIFF NORTH ACQUITTED.
Jury Brings In Verdict Giving De-
PENDANT Ills Liberty.

AsHv1LLE, Ala, Oct. THE prelimi-
nary trial of Sheriff J. L. North of St.
Clair county, which has been in pro-
gross at Ashville for several days, has
come to a close. The result was the &C
quitral of the defendant. North was
charged with the murder of Walter
Blankenship, who was killed during the
attack on the courthouse by the mob on
Aug. %, when an attempt was made to
lynch Jim Brown, the negro convicted
OF criminal assault
The evidence brought out tended to
show that North did nothing more than
was MS official duty III protecting the
prisoner. The effort made to prove
North directly responsible for killing the
Of Blankenship failed.
Il is said that the verdict gives gen
9ral satisfaction among the people, al
though it displeases the friends of
Biankenship. There was no attempt at
violence on the part Of Blankenship's
friends.

COUNCIL HAS ASSESSED RATE.
So Taxpayers Can Proceed To Settle
Dues

One and one half per cent is the rate
assessed by the city council last night
upon all property for the current year.
Of this amount one half Of one per cent
is for ordinary expenses, like amount
for extraordinary expenses, and the
same to be devoted to school purposes.
This is the extreme limit, but coun-
Gil could do nothing less.
Even this rate, seemingly high, will
not be sufficient to defray the expen-
ses of the city government, and the
knife must be applied.
The amount of property values retur-
ned is only about So 600. 900. As is al
ways the case, the taxes upon some of
this may not be collected, and it is fair
to assume that the rate levied last night
will raise scarcely more than about
S35. 900.
This will not pay current expenses
and interest on our bonded debt.
More money will be needed, and
council recognizes the fact that ex.
penses must be cut.
It is proposed to abolish the police
commission by legislative enactment,
and thus place the force under dlrec-
ton of council.
It is proposed to cut off about half
the number of street lights, which will
mean saving of perhaps $4,000 or
So, 500 per annum. Then the salary
lists of the several departments are
going to be revised to the end of re-
ducing expenses.
at the next meeting, the chairman
of every standing committee will re-
port wherein expenses in his depart
ment can be cut. The remedy is an
unpleasant one, but there is no alter
native. Expenses cannot be paid
where there's no funds to pay with.
The city is confronted by serious
conditions, and drastic measures must
be adopted for a time.

Farmers FavOrite''
Grain Drills.

~ RAIN DRILLS are now essential
" appliances to all good farming, and
1t has been demonstrated that drilling
saves seed and increases the yield.
Drills have been in use for years; but
the enterprising manufacturers have
kept pace with the march Of improve
ment until today Grain Drills are per-
watched every point and used labor
saving devices, and long experience,
gives opportunities to improve. More
than so years ago the BICKFORD &
HUFFMAN CO., Of Macedon, N. Y,
put on the market the first, known as
the Farmers Favorite." Prior to
that time grain was universally sown
broadcast. This pioneer machine mark
ed an epoch in the evolution Of seeding
devices and its great value was in
stantly recognized. In 1867 Lyman
Bickford patented a successful force
feed distributor for grain, and the prin-
ciples involved remain in use today,
tribute to the genius Of its originator
For more than half century the Bick-
ford & Huffman Company have been in
the van with improved devices for SOW
ing grain, until the FARMERS FA-
VORITE" is favorably known In every
grain-growing country in the world.
The rapidly increasing foreign trade, as
we'll as the steadily growing demand
at home, has compelled the company
to make frequent additions to their
plant, until they have one Of the best
equipped factories in the country. de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture
Of grain drills. mot how cheap, but
how good" Is the motto adopted by the
company, and the twentieth century
product combines many special fea-
lures of excellence. One of these Is the
stub axle and roller bearings. Attach
ed to the side arms Of frames, (Which
is of steeD, are stub axles, upon which
the ground wheels revolve, and which
carry the entire weight of the drill.
The main axle, which passes through
the stub axles, Is merely required to
run the mechanism, sustains no weight
and therefore there Is the minimum of
friction. The roller bearings encircling
the stub axle, and revolving between 1t
and the hub Of the ground wheel, very
greatly reduce friction. These make
the drills Of light draft and easy to
operate. Two years ago steel ribbon
grain tubes were introduced and their
growing popularity recommends them.
This tube Is made of one continuous
piece of ribbon steel. is perfectly f1ex-
