Deering ideal Giant Mower.

Every Deering Mower is a Giant in strength and each
possesses the same admirable qualities, but the Giant of
all is our special large machine for small horses, which
cuts a G-foot swath with as little eNertlon as other mowers
cut Al feet. The application OF Deering Roller and Ball
Bearings to harvesting machinery created a demand for
wide-cutting bars. They also made Deering machines
bamous, as Deering machines have made roller and ball
fearings equally famous.
We have built up a large trade on these mowers in the
native grass and alfalfa sections, which other mowers
wisely avoid. 1t is mechanically correct; has a wide,
strong frame; the bar is beaded, giving special rigldity,
and the materials are the best that money can buy.
We have Just received a carload Of these mowers. We

one OF the funniest things ever per.

the Leader seemed to enjoy it just as
much as the rest OF us. The sisters
gave a performance Ill Des Moines
and the Leaders dramatic critic de-
livered himself OF a roast that ia a
model OF it's kind. Here it is:
Ellie is ar old jade OF 80 Summers,
Jessie a risky filly OF 80, aud Addie
the flower OF the family, a capering
monstrosity OF 81. Their long skinny
arms, equipped with talons at the eI
tremities, swung mechanically and
anon waved irantically at the suffer
ing audience. The mouths OF their,
rancid features opened like caverns
and sounds like wailings Of damned
souls Issued therefrom. They pranced
around the stage with a motion that
suggested a cross between the dance
du yentre and fox :rot. strange
features with painted faces and
hideous mien. Efie is spawned,
Addie is string halt, and Jessie, the
only one who sho wed her stockings,
has legs with calves as classic in their
outlines as the curves OF a broom
handle"
The sisters objected to this sort OF
thing and brought suit. The lower
Court decided against them and an
appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. The other day the Supreme
Court affirmed the decision OF the
lower Court and Chief Justice Dee.

GROWTH OF IMPERIALISM.

Imperialism is a political disease
that leads TO extravaganza and high
taxation. and OF this there will he no
end. Tho necessities OF the case
lead from one vast expenditure to
another to protect the latest eIpan.
sion. islands like Porto Rico and the
Philippines cannot protect them.
selves. In case OF val they would he
a source OF weakness and would re-
quire a large naval force to prevent
them from beng attacked. This Is
what Is urging on the administration
to the purchase OF other o~utlayng
islands.
We are indebted. says the Chicago
Chronicle, for most OF u news con
corning the negotiations for the Dan
ish West Indies to the Copenhagen
correspondent OF the London Daily
Mail. The latest we get from that
source is the statement that the
Washington government has sent
sanather note to Denmark intinst-
ing that il that country will not sell
il must fortify and garrison the Is
lands. The situation ia regarded
seriously here the correspondent
adde. sas Denmark cannot dream OF
undertaking the erection OF iortitica,
tions and the maintenance OF garr'
sons, which would cost several mil.
lions-millions Of pounds. OF course
the correspondent beng English. II
appears from this that the admins
tration contemplates not only paying
S3,oo0.0 900 or more for the Danish is
lands, but spending many times that
number Of millions in fortiiyiIs and
garrisoning them. Thus il is coming
to light that the administration
knows the islands We already have
are not a source OF strength. but thai
they must be defended by spending
more millions for islands and fGrhf
cations and garrisons.

Another Jail Break.

1t seems almost impossible g.
make the Elko Jail secure enough to
hold ingenious law breakers. This
was proven again last evening when
John Noel, John Kelley, and w. 3.
Parsons worked their way out SEEM
ingly without any trouble. They did
their work between 4:i5 and q r. NJ,
while Jailer Beveridge was getting
his supper. The way they escaped is
so simple that it is truly wonderful
that others have not taken advantage
OF it before.
The main door OF the Jail ia pro-
tected by M iron cage. This cage
ia entered by an iron door that is al
ways locked. Opposite the front door
OF the cage is another iron door lead
ing into the Jail. This door like the
one in front is always locked except
when it ia opened to admit prisoners
or others into the Jail. The key to
this lock goes clear through and pro.
jects on the Jail side. The prisoners
fitted u piece Of iron or other me
terial as a key; inserted it in the lock
and turned the bolt. This let
them into the cage. They then took
an iron wedge that Kelley struggled
into the jail in an armiull OF wood,
three or four days ago and cut the
brick out Of the wall between the
door casing and tho cage. They then
went through tho hole and we're in
tho %jallnrs office. All they had TO do
then was 80 walk out OF tho door
leading INTO the Jail yard and take to
the sagebrush.
As soon ms the break became
known Jailer Beveridge and Con.
stable Mccoy started in pursuit.
Noel WAC caught in town. Constable
Mccoy took a horse md went to
Osino. Ho had hardly arrived there
when Parsons and Kelley came
