The Edison Battery.

With the possible exception Of wire
 process of being perfected has engaged
 as much public attertion as the stor-
 age battery upon which Thomas A
 Edison has been at work fer several diminished by the disappointment which has followed several of Mr. Edt- sons predictions. Ordinarily when an inventor promises to perform great
 make good,' there is a rapid subsi- dence of public concern as to the fl- ture Of the contrivance-it is taken for granted that it's merits have been holds as to Edison. He may fail from time to time to accomplish the task he has laid out for himself, but there ebides a confidence that he will sue ceed in tke end. For this reason he has the country for an audience every time he talks about the electric bat tery with which he expects to crown his life work.
 In his talks recently, he has claimed the final success of his storage bat tery. and explained that it merely re- quired time to erect a factory for man. ufacturing the batteries in quantities. Now, at a single bound. he tells the world that he has found new fuel which will make it possible to produce electricity so cheaply that anybody can afford to own one of the batteries. For once. there will be q general disposi- tion to wait and see whether the in ventor wishes to have at least some of his claims considered in the light Of a joke.
 Dispatches from Philadelphia report that the North American Of Monday morning published by authority this statement from MT. Edison:
 T have invented machine, which is 6 feet long. feet high and feet wide, which will generate electricity suffi- cient to store my batteries to run an and light a house at an ex- pense, per unit of electricity. for very much less than the largest company sells it. I know now that I can make that machine at a selling price of s45O. Almost any shed now in existence for the accommodation of an auto contains sufficient space room to take in one of these machines. No chimney is neces- sary. Just an ordinary pipe ventilator the roof is sufficient.
 Ut can be put in operation by the mere pressing of a button. We will use the word fuel, for want of a better term just at present to apply the means by which it is operated The fuel then used in this machine is one that has never before been used for fuei. Under these conditions a child can operate it. One or two minutes is all the time necessary to learn how to operate it. Run your auto into a she'd attach a wire which connects the bat teries with he machine, press he but ion. and a little time will do the rest
 When the batteries are charged. the machine will stop automatically. Run your feed wire from the house into the shed. When the auto is not in use, the feed wire from the house with the batteries in your auto. They will light your house for you. The supply of fuel for one day will not weigh three pounds. It can't explode or take fire.
 My great desire-my great ambition is to place all these facilities within the reach of the mass of people. so that an ordinary individual can afford to keep a pleasure vehicle fer his fam fly and light his house by electricity"

'in the hole about sSO,OOO on minor leases alone.
 It is added that it is no secret that practically every man who dabbled in agricultural leases on Indian lands did so with the expectation of grating on the Indians and making easy riches, but experience has shown that it is a wise one, indeed. who has not paid for lot of experience. The same thing is true of the so-called trust" companies that are so numerous-the companies in which federal officials have taken stock so freely.

The Signs Of Fall.

Where are the sheets and pillow
slips? We used to have so many,
But now, when night comes closing
down we never can find any;
The comforts in the cedar chest,
where moths can not get to it:
The blankets, too, are laid away
Oh, why did mother do It?
The nights grow cold, but still she
says the flowers must not be
Allowed to get a touch of frost
she doesn't care for me,
And so we use the floor rugs, though
they're neither long nor wide
The sheets are doing duty on the
iower-beds outside!

ALWAYS DIVIDED.
Democratic Records Both Ways on
Two-Cent Fares.

Two-cent Fares.
The Franklin county Democratic
delegation in the last legislature con-
tributed its quota TO the Democratic
inconsistency on the two-cent fare bill.
Senator Thompson and Representative
McNamee helped to defeat such bills
and have been renominated Repre-
sentative Bracken introduced such a
bill and was refused denomination.
a more significant case is that of
Clarkes closest friend at Youngstown,
his old home. w. f. Mag. and his
partner in the Vindicator. the Demo-
cratic organ there. AS Mahoning
county representative Mr.. Mag was
on the committee on railroads and tel
egraphs. which handled these bills.
He showed his position by his vote in
the house against even considering
such a bill. given April 2s. 1902. This
does not turn Clarke against him. In
fact, Clarke own position is unknown
outside of his stump speeches. Did he
ever urge the two-cent fare upon the
railroad of which he is general coun-
sci? In fact, not until Clarke was
nominated by Johnson did Mag con-
sent to denomination. and that only
on Clarke's account. Mag is all right
with Johnson. too. Instead OF kicking
him out for not standing upon the
platform Johnson praised him. partlc-
ularly in his Youngstown speech.
The real trouble with the two-cent
fare business is from the labor unions
on the railroads. These men are
against It because they believe that it
will result in reducing their wages.
They have been the means OF prevent
ing legislation up to this time. having
found friends in both parties. for it
has never been a partisan question.
and Is no. now. no matter what Tom
johnson saws.

Notes From Texas Farm and Ranch.
If you want runt pigs wean them
early and feed them lightly. You can
raise runts successfully.
Every up TO date farmer should be
his own seed improver. To improve
seed is entirely practicable, but re-
quires some knoy how and some do
how.
There are many new crops and new
methods that are great improvements
over the old. Every progressive farm
er should devote portion OF his time
TO experimental work
One expensive abomination often
seen on farms Is wide mouthed well
Inside the barn or near enough TO be-
tome foully contaminated by drainage
from stables or manure heaps.
In buying fancy farm seeds at fancy
prices require satisfactory evidence
that the seed Is genuine and true to
name and see that IL Is thus assured
by known and competent authority.
