his latest achievement IN auto
construction, he has produced
a double cylinder Copposed) en-
CINE which is perfect in con-
struction and efficiency. and for
the first time in his career has
consented to lend his name to
a make of automobile.
Practical, everyday service
and the most severe tests in
daily use have proven that Mr..
Ford's experience in motor car
construction is the best guaran-
tee an automobile user can
have.
The two opposed cylinder mo-
tor has advantages in the way
of balance and frequency of inn
pulse delivered to the motor
shaft, which produce distinc-
lively smooth running and
strong hill-climbing, and there
is no doubt as to the pro-
nounced success of this form of
motor for driving low-cost and
high-duty vehicles of the run
about and detachable tonneau
class.
The principle Of a Ford en-

minimum friction and vibration,
which Is what all the world has
been looking for ever since the

and disposed of to Bettingen, and
also, that in this city, on March 14th
of that year, Engelhart sold and
transferred his elevator, his resi-
dence property in this city and 40
acres of land in the county, and all
the grain in the elevator to Bettin-
gen, for $4,000, not paying any
money as consideration, but in
stead agreeing that he should and
would take care of, redeem, pay
and fulfill all the warehouse re-
ceipts then outstanding and there
tofore issued by Engelhart for
grain stored in the elevator. Bet
tingen failed to pay for the wheat,
or return it, when the demand was
made of him on Oct 1st, 1902, and
the parties holding the certificates
held meeting, assigned their tick
cts to Charter, and commenced the
suit, which has resulted in COM
plete victory for them and for the
law which seeks to protect wheat
growers from rascally actions on
part OF elevator men, compelling
the consignee to see that the con-
signor is reliable at all times.
In an exhaustive memorandum
Judge Weber contends that the
only question involved is whether
Bettingen contracted to redeem or
pay the outstanding warehouse re-
ceipts and says that Engelhart GER
tainly had the strongest reasons for
desiring that the warehouse re-
ceipts should be redeemed as he
was thereby relieved Of his civil
liability, and was practically re-
lieved of the danger Of prosecution
for felony. The Judge continues:

Judge Weber Gives Them Judgment
Against Bettingen in the
Famous Wheat Case.
Holds that When Engelhart Transferred
His Property Bettingen AS
Sumed all His Debts.

Judge Weber has decided the
well-known wheat storage case of
Levi Charter VS.. VIM. J. Bettingen
In favor of Charter, who is given
judgment against Bettingen for the
value of 5,5892 bushels of wheat, or
the market value of the same at the
time Charter made the demand on
Engelhart and Bettingen, amount
ing to $1,776.27. Interest at the
rate of six per cent. yearly is added
from Oct 1st, 1902, making total
of 81, $500.
j. A. Engelhart conducted the
elevator now owned by the Farm
ers' Elevator Co. at this place as
his property from Sept 10th, 1898,
until March 18th, 1902. Between
those dates he received for storage
in his elevator the wheat mentioned
above, giving AZ storage certificates
for the same, part of the wheat
being owned by other parties, who
assigned their certificates to Mr..
Charter for the simplifying of the
suit. One of the ~ certificates was
redeemed by Engelhart.
The demand for the stored wheat
was made on July 10Th, 1902, the
receipts being endorsed and the
storage money rendered The de-
mand, tender and offer were refused
upon the ground that Engelhart had
no wheat in the elevator and that
all of it had been shipped to Bettin-
gen at Minneapolis, to whom it had
been sold.
Judge Weber contends that be-
fore the demand was made the wheat
had been wrongfully and unlawfully
removed and shipped out of the ele-
vator by Engelhart, and consigned

the grain mentioned in the warehouse
receipts had already been shipped to
Bettingen and he had disposed of it
and was therefore liable for it's con-
version, and by making the contract
that Engelhart says he did make, he
only assumed the contract that was
already cast upon him by operation of
law, whether the liability were large
or small. Engelhart testifies that he
would not have turned over the prop
erty unless Bettlngen took care of the
stored grain; therefore, by making the
alleged contract the defendant avoided
the cost of foreclosure and obtained adj
ditional property not covered by his
mortgages and did not assume any adj
ditional liability. / think that both
Engelhart and Bettingen had sufficient
inducement for making the contract
that Engelhart alleges they did make.
The question is, did they make it?
In my opinion, the conversation be-
tween Bettingen and Engelhart at
Minneapolis, if the evidence of Engel-
hart is true, would not establish the
alleged contract. The proposed con-
tract involved a conveyance of real
estate and the alleged oral contract
was not binding. I think the defend
ant has accepted and retained the
fruits of the contract made in his be-
half by Boyd This AGENT SO that be is
bound by its obligations, whatever
authority Boyd may have had.
The evidence of EngeIhart and Boyd
as to the agreement to redeem EngeI-
hart's outstanding warehouse receipts
Is in direct conflict, but the evidence of
Engelhart is corroborated by the evil
dence Of Baldwin; and the fact that
Boyd took list of the warehouse re-
ceipts and delivered it to Bettingen
and that Bettingen has paid and re-
deemed portion of the receipts in
question, for which they make no

reasonable explanation, are 90 incon-
sistent with the evidence of Boyd and
SO consistent with that of Engelhart
that am compelled to accept the evil
dence of the latter as the truth.
The witness Baldwin testifies that
the arrangement made by Boyd OH
the 18th or 14th of March, 1902, was
that they (the bank were to pay En-
gelhart's stored warehouse receipts and
attach them to the draft and draw on
Mr.. Bettingen for the money. think
this should be construed as an agree
ment to assume Engelhart's liability
on each of the warehouse receipts and
not his gross liability for the CONVEX
sion of the entire amount of wheat. No
demand had been made upon Enge.-
hart at that time.
Each of the warehouse receipts was
an obligation on the part Of Engelhart
to deliver certain quantity of wheat
to the holder and as Bettingen had
entered into q contract made for the
benefit of the holders, if they elected to
avail themselves of this contract, I
think they are bound, before bringing
suit, to make demand upon Bettin-
gen and il such demand was refused.
the holder was entitled to recover the
market value of the wheat at the time
of the demand.
In giving judgment for Charter
Judge Weber uses the price 81
wheat at the time the demand was
made, less the amount charged fol-
storage, and this accounts for the
small monetary consideration fol
the large amount of wheat.

The last act Of the Illinois Bar
Association at its late meeting in
Chicago was to place on record its
severe condemnation Of the crime
of lynching and its earnest appeal
to the officers Of the law 20 spare
no effort to prevent similar atroci-
ties in the future and to exhaust all
legal measures to secure the con-
dign punishment Of those guilty of
melting or participating in such
lawless and demorahzing offenses
against good government and social
order"
The bar association might have
expressed itself even more strongly
and explicitly to good purpose. Not
only lynching nobs but labor mobs
and other mobs which defy the law
and assume to make and execute
laws for themselves strike at the
very foundations Of government
and Of organized society.
Their crime is essentially that of
treason, though it may be called by
some milder name, and it should be
not only held in adherence by all
good citizens, but punished accord

The PopuIar lad q aMunohInq."

One of the popular fads in New
port at present is "munching'
which means merely eating very
slowly. Munching is one of the nu-
merous preventatives of growing
avoirdupois, and as il has the rec
ognition of King Edward it is nat
urally regarded with much favor by
Newport. The theory is that every
particle of food must be chewed
slowly and carefully until no SOLID
material remains to be swallowed.
Slow eating is merely carried to
an extreme BY the new treatment.
All London society Threatened with
too much flesh is said TO be chewing
very long and very thoroughly and
American converts to the system
are already numerous. Its effect
is said to be noticeable at dinners,
which have come to be known as
munching parties and are much less
vivacious than they were when eat
ing and drinking went on rapidly.

SONG PICTURES ARE HIGH
Publicis Exacting and Artistic Excei-
 lence Must be Displayed.

Tt requires pG5.elcE aEQ money t. produce slides for popular songs nowa- days" said music publisher to a New York Sun man, "but stereopticons and moving picture machines are still the best medium in booming songs Al. most every theater devoted to vaude- vile has one of these machines as part of it's properties, and with the aid of ia good singer and a clever manipulator of the machine fair entertainment can begiven at nominal cost.
 ''But the public now expects some artistic merit in these slides, and will not accept them unless they reproduce accurately scenes which the theme of the song demands. Formerly such slides were 'faked' without much trouble and at small cost The public did not mind if the song happened to be good. But now conditions are reversed The public seems to be more exacting about the slides than the song.
 Most of these slides were made in this city, no matter what locality or scenes the song described. But soon these slides lost their attraction. Then pub fisher revived interest in the entertain ment by making the slides. accurate in detail and locality, but the return paid handsomely for the outlay.
 Recently firm spent $2.500 in pro- ducing slides for one song. The scenes were laid in the valley of the Shenan- doah. To be as accurate as possible the publisher had to send men to photograph number of historic spots in that sec tion Then he had to hire regiment of soldiers to pose for the pictures. This meant several days work and when everything was done and he was satis- fled he found that his expense bill was a large one without the cost of manufac4 ture.
 "On another occasion this same pub fisher paid to have a minister and his whole congregation pose for him for a song called Just Behind the Times, which was popular five years ago. He could easily have falred' this by having the scene painted, but he wanted to have 1t all correct and was willing to pay for it. It is said that the slides for this song cost him nearly $4.000.
 About ten years ago publisher hired whole minstrel troupe and hall Ato get set of slides. But this is not in it with the publisher who sent corps of photographers to San Juan hill for negatives. He also engaged several off, cers to pose for him. The publisher. who writes his own songs, had a soldier ballad which eventually made a hit Be- fore he could put the slides on the mar ket his bill was nearly s6,0O0. But as the song had large sale he got the money back with interest.
 If the song goes expense in boom- ing 1t is not considered much"

 in Theft of Honey.

Hartford, Oct 24.-Wilbur Flagg. an eccentric man who frequents the south western part of the city. was arrested last evening for abetting the theft of $46 from the Johns-Pratt Co. For three Saturdays the company has been missing pay envelopes from its safe in It's office. The envelopes are made out and filled Saturday morning and are distributed Saturday afternoon
 Edward B. Hatch president of the company, found small boy in the company's office during the noon hour last Saturday when most of the clerks were away The boy, who is the son of the night watchman. was in the room in which the safe stands. MT Hatch asked the boy what he was doing there and the boy said that a man had told him to go in and sis down.
 Mir Hatch let the boy go and later in the day two envelopes were missed. The police questioned the boy, and found out that Flagg had put the boy up to opening the safe door, which was not locked at noons, and taking out an envelope or two. The boy says that Flaggs gave him an air rifle and drink of soda for taking the envelopes to him. The boy is 10 years old. He says that Flagg took all the. money Flagg had some money on him when arrested and he admitted that he had spent the rest He is considered out, of his head
