A Cheap Drag.

While there are some drags on the
market that are very desirable, it is
possible to have homemade one that
is quite as good and which will cost
considerable less than the boughten
one. Such a drag is shown in the IL
lustra ton, and is made Of two strips
of timber and three fence posts. These
posts may be Of any size desired to
give the needed weight; indeed, by

Of different weights, one may have a
pieces are spiked ON so that the posts
are about a foot apart and, as will
be noticed from the illustration, the
posts are placed so that the rather
sharp edges are forward, which pre-
vents clogging. AS will be readily
seen, the cost of such a drag is very
small, and there is nothing in its con-
struction but what may be done on the
farm where the ordinary tools may be

A Good si1o.

We have a round silo in use that is
In many respects the best one know,
says a correspondent of Rural New
Yorker. The slaves we had sawed two
and three-quarters inches thick and six
inches wide. This extra thickness has
nearly prevented freezing. The width
is about right. Tney are beveled,
grooved and tongued. If I could not
get the stuff near at hand prepared, j
would buy it of some silo dealer, just
the plain slaves jointed, beveled and
grooved without hoops, doors or roof.
The hoops 1 would get in steel wire
rope, or more commonly known as
"guy wire," half an inch in diameter.
The cost will not be greater and the
result more satisfactory, easy to put
On as clothesline, no danger of
breaking in cold weather. In fact, they
are ideal. They can be fastened with
a turn buckle or common nuts through
a four-inch scantling. The doors I
would put on the outside of silo, hang
Ing them with heavy hinges bolted on.

NAVY Reaua.


A crop which can proftably be
grown to much greater extent and
over a much larger area of the coun-
try than is now done is the common
navy or field bean. There is not
enough grown to supply home de-
mands, beans being imported every
year, although it is crop of compara-
lively easy cultivation and one that
pays better than most field crops.
Clean land, of good quality, should be
selected, and the beans planted in drills
Immediately after the corn is in. Guilt
vate as soon as the plants are above
the ground, and when there is no dew
or rain on the leaves, as that will spot
and spoil the foliage. Cultivate thor
oughly until the growth of foliage coy
ers the ground and stops the growth Of
weeds. When two-thirds of the pods
are ripe pull by hand and lay in rows
until well dried. Thresh on a dry,

MYSTERY rs SOLVED.
Tom White Makes Poor Showing on His
Return to the Ring.

Tom White Makes Poor Showing on His
Return to the Ring.
Nearly a week has past since Tommy
White, the erstwhile Kenoshan, sig
nalized his return to the ring, but the
wires have been silent in regard to his
victory. The mystery was explained
this morning by the arrival of papers
from Philadelphia which tell Of the
awful fall of once popular idol.
Tommy White is now relegated to
the class of "has beens,' and if there
is any class lower down than the "dub''
it is probably the place for Tom. The
Philadelphia papers do not herald his
temperance in the ring with faring
headlines nor are there pictures of the
favorite poses of the Kenosha man but
down in the corner of the sporting
page in type so small that magnify
ing glass is required to read it is found
this little gem: "The bout between
Tommy White, of Chicago, and Joe
Mace, of Philadelphia, was about an
even thing It seems that White met
Mace, who is new man to the ring
commonly called ''kid," in a cheap
preliminary and the fight had no dis
tinguishing features.

Millions Stronger Than Last Year He De-
clares.-More Suits Against Him.
"The foundations of Zion are abso-
1utely solid," said DR.. John Alexander
Dowie in an interview yesterday.
1--WE may, like others, have times of
financial stringency, and have to care
fully protect our cash resources, but
Zion is millions stronger than this day
last year and there is not a thought in
my mind of anything but onward pro.
gress. There is nothing to fear, and
whatever adjustments we may have to
make in connection with our affairs
are purely orderly and proper"
The return of Dowie from the East
has been signalized by the fling in the
Lake county circuit court of more
suits for debts against him and the
Zion institutions. "a Most of the claim
ants are Chicago firms. The Weaver
Coal company wants $1,000 for coal
furnished, w. S. Peck & Co., have a

Marriage OF Miss Kittie vanLeer and
Homer HartnelI Postponed on
Account OF a Death.
Mr.. THOMAS HARTNELL is DEAD.
Pioneer Resident of the Town of Brighton
Died Wednesday After Long Illness
From Bright's Disease.

The grim messenger of death called
a halt in the march of cupid in the
town of Bristol Thursday, for the mar
rage of Miss Kittie Charlotte VanLeer,
daug liter of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Van
Leer, and Homer Hartnell, of the town
Of Brighton, was definitely postponed.
The marriage was to have been cele-
brated at the Plank Road Congrega-
tional church in the town of Bristol at
high noon today, but Wednesday even
ing announcement was sent out that
the wedding had been indefinitely post
poned on account of the sudden death
of Thomas Hartnell, the father of the
groom, which occurred at the Hartnel1
home in Brig hton at half past three
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Hartnell had been i'll for the
past nine months and had suffered
from complication of Bright's dis
ease and heart trouble. He had urged
the young people to continue with the
arrangements for the wedding and had
hoped to be able to survive until after
the wedding was over. A month ago
he became worse and on Wednesday it
was found that he was sinking. AS
soon as his condition became known to
the bride she recalled the wedding in
vitations and the wedding will take
place some time later in the year.
The death of Thomas Hartnel1 marks
the passing of one of the best known
residents of the county and one of the
most prominent citizens of the town
of Brighton. He was born at the old
Hartnell homestead in Brighton fifty
seven years ago and had always lived
there. During his long life he did
much to aid in the building up of the
town. A man of integrity and un.
doubted honesty he won the respect OF
all his fellow townsmen. Mr.. Hartnell
never entered politics and although
several times urged to accept public
Office he had always declined and
stated that he preferred to remain in
private life. A widow and several
childred survive.
The marriage of Miss VanLeer and
Mr.. Hartnell was to have been the So
cial event of the year in the town il
Bristol and guests had been invited
from all parts of the county. Nov
that the wedding has been postponed
it is probable that the plans for {
church wedding will be abandoned ant
the wedding will be quietly celebrated
at the home of the bride after the fun
eral of Mr.. Hartnell.
