A Word,..
HReg! PI0WS

We are having a splendid trade this
fall on the Syracuse chilled ploW. Max
ing new customers every day and the
beauty OF il all 10 that tho plow Is max
ing its way right along by sheer merit
alone. As an illustration, one of the
best farmers in Polk county came in
this week and ordered out two l4-inch
Syracuse chilled plows, without word
of argument or inquiry, simply because
he has watched the Syracuse chilled
pillow at work alongside of other we'll
known lines, and has seen its utility
proved by the steadiness with which II
runs, the ease with which il handles,
and the perfect furrow it leaves, all
points OF importance. This gentleman
is only one of many who have been
prejudioed in favor of other makes, and
was only convinced by actual demon,
stration. The Syracuse is making its
way TO the front every day.
The share is attached by two bolts,
instead OF one, as In other makes. The
moldbOard is higher, and gives the soil
better turn, The shin has more of a
slant, clearing itself better OF trash
The handles are longer and have more
slope, making the plow much easier TO
work with, as 10 vouehed for by men
who have used these and others, and
then the entire pillow runs steadier in
the furrow.
II you are on the market for a plow,
you make a mistake ii you fail TO look
these over. All sizes OF chilled and steel
constantly on hand. Parts for same.
Spike tooth harrOws.
Spring tooth harrows.
Disc harrOws.
Drills, seeders and implements OF
every sort.
We are having particularly good
trade on sulky and gang plows this fall,
We have the best lines on the market,
aud you'd do we TO zee us. Gang plows
are money-savers 10 the man who will
use them.

From Miss Stone - II Ar

WAsHINaToN, Nov. 8.-All that can be
gathered here touching Miss Stones
case is that reports from the Levant are
to the effect that some kind of comnu-
nication is being maintained, though
very indirectly, between the mission
ary's captors and the people seeking her
release.
1t is believed that up to this point

The History of n Book.

Following is the story of the first edl-
ton of Fitzgeralds celebrated transla-
ton of "Omar Khayyam," The book
was issued anonymously and found no
buyers. Accordingly the author went
to Bernard Quartch's shop, dropped a
heavy parcel OF 200 copies of the 'Ru-
baiyat" and said. "Quaritch, | make
you a present of these books"
The famous bookseller offered them
first at half crown, then at shilling
and, again descending, at sixpence, but
no buyers came. In despair, he re-
duced the book to a penny and put
copies into box outside his door, with
a ticket, "All these at one penny each"
At that price the pamphlet moved. in
few weeks the lot was sold, and in
this way one of the finest gems of Eng
lish literature was dispersed among n
not overdlscerning public.
The legend has it that Dante Gabriel
Rossetti. Swinburne and Burton were
among those who discovered the hid
den treasure In the penny box" Years
passed, and the once despised volume
rose In the market, and In 1898 Quar-
itch bought In for f21 copy which 40
years before he had sold for penny.

Pay Day at Pittstield.

Saturday was pay day at the woOlen
mills in this place, aud resulted in the
placing in circulation of quite a large
sum of money for small town, though
by no means more than common. The
Pioneer woolen mill employs The largest
number of hands and the business at this
mill Of late has been very good. The
pay roll called for 80, 900, Saturday, this
sum being for two weeks work upon
the part of the employees. Business has
been a little slack at the Waverly mill,
though not sufficient to cut the force
down much. The Riverside woolen mill
paid its help, Saturday, 5000. This is
below the regular figure, as the mill
pays out ordinarily about $2500 per
month. The pay roll of the Pittsfield
Electric Light and Power company
averages $4,000 monthly; and that of
Bryant & Co., from $500 to $1,000 per
month. By careful consideration of
these figures 1t can be seen that at pres
ent the money paid the help in the vari-
GUS enterprises named amounts to
$lS, 900 per month or S2l6,000 per year.
The population of the town is 1881 and
when it is considered that the creamery
pays out several thousands annually and
the corn shop quite large sum, these
place in circulation better
than $50 per capita, during the year

elected In September, will be present.

Webber, has held the Office two full
terms OF six years each and retires with
the consciousness of duties we'll and

rience and great familiarity with the

able member of the board and he has
made his ability felt in the varied affairs
OF the county. Mr.. Merrill, his success
sor, has had much experience In public
afftirs, in town and county business and
as member of House and Senate at the
State capitol. This experience will be
valuable to him as member of this i'm.

Stain and Cromwell Pardoned.

A the meeting Of the Governor and
Council, Monday afternoon, at the State
House, a full and free pardon Was grant
ed Oliver Crom well and David l.. Stain,
who. at the February term of the
supreme Judicial cour; In lSss, at Ban
gor, were indicted and convicted for the
murder Of John Wilson Barron. cashier
of the Dexter Savings Bank, whose
death occurred. FEB. 22 ISIS.
The decision Of the Executive Council
is contrary TO that Of the court at Ban
gor, the full bench before whom mo-
ton for new trial was carried, and the
Governor and Council of 1895, who were
petitioned for pardon, but it is under
stood that the Council came to the dec!-
sion on the strength OF the new evidence
which was introduced, the Sanborn re-
ceipt, which it has been learned TO GER
tainty Stain never forged, and the
strong evidence which was introduced to
prove an alibi
In speaking Of the matter. Monday,
! Gov. Powers is reported to have said:

ing of Stair, seemed 10 corroborate

that Stain and Cromwell were in the

have been genuine and not a forgery by
