locking with the rail on the lower sur
face. Thus, with the electric energy
carried through the medium of the
rails, the inventor proposes to tip his
aeroplanes just enough TO cause the
rush OF air to light the weight of the
car. keeping it somewhere balanced
between the upper and lower drivers,
with the result that from above or be-
low mis- machine will receive the forcs
OF the driving wheels at all times.
The lower aeroplane In the pair is to
be five and half feet above the ton
OF the car, and the upper plane will be
four feet above the other. The pair
will be tipped as the needs of the car
require. The faster the speed the less
weight Mr.. Reeve proposes to have
upon the rails, but In the main he
wishes to get his speed from the force
OF the upper rather than the lower
drivers.
No matter what the speed. he hopes
to have acquired absolute safety
through putting double flanges upon
each Of the eight drivers in the car,
making 1t impossible for the machine
to leave the rails. These wheels are
nearly four feet in diameter, and, fig
uring upon the speed acquired by the
German aerial railway, the inventor
explains that these big drivers will
make eight miles a minute as easily
and with more safety than the one
foot drivers under the German car
make their 200 miles an hour.
1T is friction only that has prevent
ed the German cars from, u,ak;no ~ .
200 miles an hour that were credited
to them in the beginning" said Mr..
Reeve to Chicago Tribune man. 'Tn
my car the aeroplanes will do away
with the weight, and. consequently.
with the friction on the journals, such
as the Germans have had to contend
with, and | see scarcely limit to the
speed that may be attained on an air
line, with rotary motion rather than
a piston stroke in the motors"

Des Molnes. Aug. 15.--Having work-
ed in the fields and having helped
amass the fortune Of her husband by
the sweat of her brow, Mrs. Emma A.
Cracroft who filed a petition for d.
vorce this morning, demands judgment
against Harvey Cracroft for $4,000.
AS ground for her separation she
charges cruel and inhuman treatment,
because he forced her into the fields
to do manual labor, and when she was
sick and refused to go, cursed and beat
her with his fists. Though she says
she worked hard at the farm, she claims
he refused to accompany her to en-
tertainments or upon visits. She was
married. she says. May 3. 1885, and
since that time has helped gather some

she was forced to leave him and is now

this town about 1880 o'clock Saturday
morning and attempted to break into

Livestock Notes.

Values for medium to good cows and
heifers suffered a loss OF 25M Csc last
week. and there are still some lots of
this class in the yards. Receipts this
week should be smaller. or sellers say
a further loss in values may be ex-
pected.
Feeders took out a total of IL, 245
sheep and lambs last week. or less than
half the number brought here one year
ago. The total buying acre one year
ago last week was 24.40S.
Certain sources of reliable" infor-
nation have been touting 1t up that the
yards are well cleared of cattle. yet
there are enough choice steers under
cover In the northwestern corner of the
yards to make some alleged fat stock
shows look like an operate burlesque.
1t is time of year for liberal trade
in stockersi and feeders but this strike
has completely paralyzed this branch
of business and its effect may possibly
be felt in the supplies of fat beeVes in
the not distant future.
Trade In feeding sheep has been of
limited volume simply because the stun
was not on sale. Prices have been
we'll maintained, but both Ohio and
Michigan are complaining of poor
hay crop. drought and other setbacks,
and IL these unsatisfactory conditions
are not ameliorated. the feeder demand
may not be as large as anticipated.
People contemplating the marketing
Of calves during the present disturbed
market conditions should remember
that they are taking lons chances Ma
ture cattle can be held and fed, but
there is no way to feed young calves.
and they must be got out of the way
at once ard under present conditions
the outside trade is the only outlet, and
this cannot use liberal receipts.

eoTcH sEsTs A CANADIAN.
Humboldt Wrestler Has A Lively Bout
In British Columbia.

Special to Times-republican.
FIT Dodge. Aug. 15.--Word has been
received here that Frank Gotch, the
Humboldt wrestler. defeated Dan Me-
Leod, the Canadian wrestler, at Van.
couver, b. c., August 6. Gotch took
two out OF three rounds from the Can
adam man In what was considered by
Canadian wrestlers to have been the
best wrestling bout ever Witnessed II,
that part OF Canada. The affair took
place in the afternoon before over four
thousand people in a public park In
Vancouver. Mcleod took the first
bout in 31:44, and for the first time in
several years Gotch's shoulders toucn
ed the mat at the same time.
When Mcleod took the first round
the people who witnessed the affair
thought that Gotch would surely be de-
feated, as Mcleod had the best OF i,
in this round. However, when both
men entered the ring for the second
bout, Mcleod showed worse for the
first round, while Gotch appeared as
fresh as ever. In this round. Gotch
had the best Of it thruout and his OPP
ponent was thrown in 2a:20. Now
Mcleod began to show how the hor-
rible strain was telling on him. and
appeared as tho he could not last any
length of time. In the third and de-
cisIve round Gotch simply smotherec
his opponent into submission, and the
older's mans shoulders touched the
mat together In 26:36. In this round
Gotch really appeared in better con-
dition than In the first round and his
opponent had no show whatever.
Gotch was faster in the last roune
than in the first. and while on the de-
fensive entirely in the first, was oh
the offensive In the last two rounds.
The people in the British provinces
and the people OF Washington and
Oregon think that Gotch liz the fines,
wrestler ever seen there and think his
title as champion wrestler OF Americs
Is well earned. His work is always
fast, and his power Of endurance IL
wonderful. He understands tho fines,
points In his profession. and it is diff
cult to find any one who will go UP
a gainst him. His proceeds from the
wrestling match with Mcleod brough,
him over $4,000.

-rh. Horse Market.

The demand from all quarters has
ruled narrow and Indifferent for COM
mon and medium offerings. with prices
averaging s5110 lower. AS a whole. the
trade for the past week was the dullest
and most unsatisfactory of the season.
A few extra choice offerings of all
classes changed hands at stationary
prices. bur all arrivals not gilt-edged
were affected by the general decline.
Industrial disturbances in all parts OF
the country are assigned as the princi-
pal cause of lower values. the unsettled
outlook Of strikes restricting the de-
mand. Receipts were liberal for the
week, apprcximating 1900, against
s9s last week and 1927 for the cor
responding week year ago.
