VI NILS. u. Il. DIOWH.
In an interview with S. r. Brush, who
has run a threshing machine of his own
for the past twenty years, we learn
that the season recently closed was
above the average for fair weather and
profit. His total run was forty five
days. During that time he had one con-
tinuOus run of eighteen days without
rain, and another of fourteen. The other
thirteen days of the time were more or
less rainy. He had but one break down,
which delayed him less than one day.
Mr.. Brush ran the engine himself and
Fred Johnson the separator. The grain
threshed was 1926 bushels of wheat,
29,828 bushels of oats, 1906 bushels
of barley, $50 bushels of speltz, and
seventy-six bushels of timothy. He
found no flax or rye in his circuit. A
large share of his jobs was within three
miles of Amboy. A number of his Gus
toners paid their thresh bills as soon as
the jobs were done, and a majority are
paying promptly. During Mr.. Brush's
long experience in the business great
changes and improvements have been
made in the machines, and it seems as
though perfection had been reached

change in this place, according to the
agreement that the question of purchase
was to be arbitrated on a certain day
which had been fixed by certain parties;
that Mr.. Epson was on hand, but the
second party failed to put in an appear
ance. In default of the appearance of

NO NEW HANDS
IN SANTA FE
Report That Hartman and
Rockefeller Had Secured
Control Proves Untrue

TOPEKA. kans., Oct. 27.-The re-
port that a combination of Hartman
and Rockefeller interests had secured
control of the Santa Fe system was ef-
fectively disposed of at the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the sys-
tenn held at noon to-day. There was
no representative of the Hartman in
ferests present, and a big majority of
the stockholders voted for the re-elec-
ton Of the directors whose terms ex-
pired this year.
The directors ratified the sale to the
Santa Fe of the Eastern Oklahoma
Railway Company, the sale of the Cal
ifornia Eastern Railway Company and
the Southern California Railway. The
directors also approved the purchase Of
the Cane Belt Railroad Company.
The annual report of z. P. Ripley
president of the company, for the fis-
cal year, recited the fact that the reve-
nue. of the company for the year was
materially added to by a substantial
increase in the citrus fruit crop Of
California, by small increase in the
cotton movement from Texas and the
Indian Territory and by large in
creases in the movement of general
merchandise and lumber. There was
a loss in revenue from coal and coke
tonnage.
The report says that the miners
strike cost the Santa Fe in loss of ton
mage and enhanced cost of fuel, not
less than 81, 800 COO. The road has not
been affected by the machinists
strike.
In conclusion. Ripley says that a
large increase in earnings reflects the
rapid growth of the territory served by
the Santa Fe lines in population and
wealth. Attention is called to the fact
that this growth is likely to continue.

universities are now giving to qualify
their graduates for similar positions.
The President has offered the i'm

that university can find man willing
and qualified to take the post. If the
right man is not found shortly the ap-
pointment will go to some other insti-

vice and is one of the best paying in

stands in line for promotion to the
