FUTURE HAND ORGAN.
To Be Power Propelled With the Orga

TO Be Power Propelled With the Organ Itself Power-Driven.
 '"The hand organ of the future and of the near futre, too says man who has given the subject some thought twill undoubtedly be one carried about in an automobile, while the organ it. self will be power-driven.
 'This will be in direct line with the trend of all modern endeavor, namely, toward the highest efficiency, with the greatest economy of operation" It is q familiar fact that the modern piano or gan that is carried about on wheels re- quires the services of two men to oper- ate it: one to play the organ and the other to look after the collections; while the two are required to move the organ, especially on long hauls.
 "There have lately appeared in the citys streets hand organs drawn by horses, novelty that has proved great attraction and great money drawer but at an enhanced cost of opera tion; the keeping of the horse having to be added to the wages of the two men.
 "Now the automobile carried and power driven hand organ will be q greater novelty even than the horse drawn hand organ and no doubt a greater attraction and money drawer and it can all be operated by one man; a greater result than ever will be achieved, with the expenditure of less labor
 "The hand organ will be moved from point to point in it's automobile carriage and will be operated by power from the same source that moves the car riage, which can be turned on and off at the pleasure of the operator, who, having made a halt somewhere and started the organ, can devote himself then solely to the business end
 Undoubtedly this will be the next step forward in the evolution of the hand organ, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see such hand organs ap- pear a any day.'-New York Sun.

From ex-Sheriff Edward Barton, Of

dangerous as his brother, Fletch. 1t
is reported that Alex conducted a

where Fletch made his headquarters
for a time, and that he acted as a go
between for the horse-stealing band.
During the trial of the Taylor Brothers
George and "Bill", who were charged
with the murder of the Meeks family
at Browning, Alex was a witness in
their behalf.
Mr.. Barton has every reason to re-
members the Taylors. He went to st.
Louis to bring them back to Carroll.

larger city, and the train on which he
was to have returned with his prison
ers was met at Carrollton by moi
of scores of armed men. some of them
masked, who had planned to take the
Taylors from him. But the willy sher.
if had left the train with his charges
few stations up the road and finally
arrived in safety and imprisoned the
Taylors without trouble.

scores of curious people went out Of
their way to get a look at Franklin,
and when he stopped at chop house
to get breakfast, many made it point
to come into the place and see him.
On the depot platform at least 100
people waited until the officers and
their man arrived, and as soon as they
had taken seat in the coach a pro
cession commenced passing through
the car in order to see the man. No
prisoner in the city for years has at
tracted as much attention as has
Franklin, and the reason is easily seen
as never in his varied existence has
he been so close to the penitentiary as
now.
