AUTO PLow BEATS HORSES.
Experiment shows That the Motor IL
Both Cheap and Eff
fective.

At the Chislet Agricultural associa-
tion's annual plowing competition the
other day, near Canterbury, England,
the Ivel agricultural motor defeated all
plows drawn by horses.
The motor hauled a three-furrow
plow over the ground with ease and
accuracy, and afterward proved that it
could plow a field of six acres in eight
hours, at cost of FIVE shillings per
acre. thus not only saving time, but
doing the work 100 per cent cheaper
than horse-drawn plows.
The motor was also shown to be use
full to farmers not only for plowing,
but for thrashing, chaff-cutting, reap
ing, moving, and, in fact, for all work
on which the horse is employed.
The horse on the farm in the future
will be not necessity, but a curios-
ity," said Mr. Hoffman, the manager
OF the Ivel agricultural motor. "Our
motor can do everything for the farm
er that the horse can do, and it does
not want feeding. An occasional
drink of petrol is all that it requires"

BAD co1N MACHINE REFORMS.
CounterfeitinR Apparatus Hnn a
Varied Career and Ends aa
Hitching Post.

In the dooryard OF Edwin L. Parker,
on the shore OF Onota lake, Pittsheld,
Mass. stands an old counterfeiting ma
chine, whose history dates back beyond
revolutionary days. when the manufac-
ture of spurious coin was carried on
in New York and Philadelphia.
No one has the authentic history OF
the machine and how long 1t was used
for illegal stamping Of spurious coins
before 1t lived down its dark record
by many years of honest labor and was
finally retired from active operations.
The machine was used by gang of
New York counterfeiters in about 1770,
whose operations attracted the atten-
ton of government officers. The coin
makers sent the machine to Philadel-
phia in load Of charcoal The ma
chine was overtaken by the officers and
the gang was taken back to New York,
where the plates and dies were de-
stroyed.
During the war of 1912 the machine
was shipped to Pittsfeld, where Lemuel
Pomeroy, who made guns for the gov
ernment used it to stamp out the
S-shaped plates which went on the stock
of the flintlock muskets.
The gun factory burned and the ma
chine fell into the Housatonic river.
where 1t remained some years. Caleb
Goodrich then bought the machine and
used it for cumming" the old fash
ioned up and down saws used in saving
lumber From there 1t was taken to the
Plunkett mill and was used for like
purpose
About 80 years ago it was purchased
by its present owner, the administra-
tor of Mr. Goodrich s estate Soon after
the circular saw came into use and there
was no more use for cumming" ma
chine. Since that time the machine has
stood in the dooryard of Mr. Parker,
where 1t has been used as hitching post
md as a tether post for young cattle.

THE SILK INDUSTRY.
Lyons, France, Continues as Lead
ing City of the World.
interesting Facts Gathered from Re-
port of Chamber of Commerce
Value of the Finished Ar
tfcIe Last Year.

According to a voluminous report just
issued BY the chamber of commerce OF
Lyons. this city still continues to hold
is place at the head Of the silk industry
Of the world. 1t records slight advance
every year. Notwithstanding the rapid
progress being made by other cities In
1902 the condition house in Lyons con-
iitioned 110,560 bales of raw silk,
weighing 15,763 .033 pounds against
l06.762 bales, weighing Is. .124, ,22S pounds
in 1901 Compared to the decennial
period 1892 to 1901 the figures for 1902
show an increase of ,564. .739 pounds over
the average for that period. while the
business of the year 1901 was an increase
over that Of the previous year. 1t is
stated that this increase is due to the
use of power in weaving goods dyed in
the piece
The production of finished silks in
Lyons amounted to $8S940,000 in 1902,
showing an increase of 81, ,070, 900 over
1901. The increase is due to a single line
of goods; light tissues, crepes, and,
above all, silk muslins furnished the
Turing the year
The increase in their production was
93.5 per cent Silk is constantly losing
Its preeminenee and is being used now
only as an accessory to the feminine
toilet. as waists Innings, and petticoats,
while silk dresses of fine quality are be-
coming more and more rare. Manu-
facturers are compelled to follow the
taste Of their customers and to produce
several qualities of goods in order to
suit the trade These facts are notice
able in all the silk manufactures Of
Europe
The expectations of silks from France
have been well maintained during the
last ten years. With the exception of a
slight decline in value in 1894, 1896, 1899 |
and 1900, the volume Of expectations has |
Increased from 1892, 400 pounds in 1899
to 10,927 400 pounds in 1902: in value
from $44, 1884 400 in 1893 to SCI ,714. 900 in
1902 This does not give a complete
statement of the business, as it does moi
include the amount sold in postal par
cells. According to an investigation made
at one railroad station in France, 6.S41
parcels, Weighing 4O,416 pounds, of silk
1t declared value of $179,5 were sent
abroad in one month Multiplying this

OF the countries to which these silks
ire exported England leads. The ex-
'orts thereto in 1902 amounted to $29..
1916, 300, against $22 1867 900 in 1901. The
'eport states that considerable OF this
merchandise credited to Great Britain
vas really sent in English ships to the
United States. The French customs au-
horities place at $11 SAC, 900 the silks
ent to the United States in 1902. against

ries, England and the United States. the {

FOR FEDERAL JUDGE.
James K. Beauchamp Spoken of as the
Representative Man.

iRN ~ OSNhtNSlAtNS Htalls
Gutrie, o. r, May 22.-For some time
distant rumblings have been heard and
everywhere seems TO be spoken words
favoring the Hon. James X Beauchamp
for federal judge. Judge Beauchamp is
4 representative of the brains and ability
Of central and western oklahoma, and
while he has been member OF the Okla
homa judiciary a little over year, the
record he has made all over the Fifth dis
trict is little short of phenomenal, and
everywhere he has received appreciation
and applause, says the Enid Events. The
prominence given Judge Beauchamp has
been quite pronounced all over the terri
tory. and. from best Information OBTAIN
able, it now appears that in the event Of
early statehood Judge Beauchamp will
certainly be appointed. federal judge for
oklahoma. The judge has three years
yet to serve of his present term, which
can only be terminated by statehood; in
that event it is almost certain that he
viii be appointed federal judge.
James k. Beauchamp was born April
%, 1859, at Viola. Kent county, Delaware
lie graduated from common school and
tiAon NtiAtEt- ne went 10 bTOOkNeiu.
Mo. in the spring of 1877. where he read
law in the Office of Houston & Brownlee
He was admitted to practice in 1879 He
then located at Salina. Kan. where he
was married IN 1850. Located at Liberal
Kan. in 1887, where he was elected coun-
~ attorney two terms. but before the ex-
piration of the second term he removed
to Oklahoma in 1893. Since 1893 Judge
Beauchamp has been closely identified
with this county. He was elected probate
judge two terms, resiening the second
term to take the position Of district
judge, which he now occupies.
Judge Beauchamp has been in the act
i've practice, of law for twenty-five years
and has an experience and understanding
Of law which fits him for tho highest ju-
dicial honors. He has all the knowledge
and capacity requisite. as his records Of
the Fifth district amply sustain. Fear
less in the performance OF his duty and
impartial in his decisions. he has estah-
lished a precedent in this district and
advanced himself TO the federal Judge
ship.

TOUCH OF ROMANCE.
Prominent Attorney CT Watonga
EIones With His Own Wife.

Watonra O. t, May Z-If romance
ever enters into the written annals OF
Blaine county, the remarkable incident
of a citizen OF Watonga e!opins with MS
wife whom he married in i9u2. should
certainly have a prominent position, Tor
such a happening is entirely cat of The
ordinary Not only have the man and
wife eloped. but nothing definite as yet
has been ascertained concerning their
present location.
The man in the case is j. Proctor Wis
hard. an ex-county attorney Of Blaine
county. He is well known citizen OF
the county and has splendid repHra-
ton as a lawyer. During the latter part
Of 1907. Mr.. Wishard and Miss Fleta
Campbell, Blaine county woman OF IL
years of age, eloped and Were married
in Kansas. Mr.. Wishard and Mr.. Camp
bell were very fond of each other. but
parental objection on account of the age
of the young woman prevented the mar
rage at home. After having ueen we'd
ded in Kansas. Mr.. and Mrs Wishaid
returned TO this city and everything was
pleasantly arranged between the various
members of the family Later on the
Wishard family had trouble and Mrs
Wishard returned TO the home OF her
father, ex-Representative J. II. Campbell
The father and mother then determined
TO send their daughter away from Va
tonga in ohpes that she would forget
her husband. She spent several months
with relatives in various parts of Okla
homa Snd then it was planned to take
her TO New Mexico. However, before
Mrs. Wishard coould leave oklahoma.
there were several business matters TO
arrange with her husband. The meeting
occurred in Watonga and the estranged
husband and wife were reconciled. Plans
were Immediately laid to escape from
the influence of the parents and cOnse-
quently the second elopement took place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell have no especial
objection TO their son-in-law since mat
ters have been arranged between Mr.. and
Mrs. Wishard. However. that a man
should deem it necessary to elope with
his wife is considered strange and the
case is without parallel in this county.
