e Piggott, March 10. Judge Bourland and Judge Wood spent yesterday in Piggott with the voters. Judge Wood was sched- uled to speak here, and Judge Bourland represented Governor Davis. The town was full of people by 9 o'clock, and Judge Bourland began to speak at 10. He defended the governors par don record, criticised the supreme court and appealed to the voters to stand by him and Governor Davis in the coming primary.

The public school was dismissed and many people quit their busi- ness to hear Judge Wood speak. Several hundred farmers were present, and cheered the judge continuously during his three hour discourse. The speaker re- viewed the supreme court decis- ions, condemned the record of Governor Davis relative to par dons, favored the creation of a board of pardons, made an elo- quent appeal for the public schools, and closed with an earn est appeal for clean state gov ernment.
 The large crowd listened close ly during the long address, and none left until the close.

New Oil Enulne,

A new oil engine is the recent and
fruitful development OF the internal
combustion motor and its adaptation
to the use of crude oils or oils OF a
specific gravity that precludes their
use in motors of the ordinary type
Like all engines suitable for crude oil
the latest innovation has provision
for the injection of water into the cyl
inder before compression. This has
the effect of allowing a much higher
compression without preignition than
Is ordinarily possible, and it has other
important effects. The builders say
that the water vapor prevents the de-
composition of the petroleum to an
extent, enabling the engine to run
long periods with crude oils without
leaving an excess of deposit on the
vaporiZer's walls. 1t Is not easy to
understand why water should prevent
decomposition of the petroleum. The
engine works on the four stroke cycle
and uses the heavy black petroleum
oils and the semi-refined or inter.
mediates, as well as the ordinary re-
fined lamp oil. There Is a cylinder
fourteen inches in diameter, giving
forty-seven brake horse power with
horse power with crude oils. On the
suction stroke of the piston air Is
drawn into the cylinder through the
main air valve, and oil is pumped
through the oil sprayer into the va.
porizer, which receives a further sup.
ply Of air through shifting valve. At
through the water sprayer and enters
the vaporiZer. This charge is then
compressed, and, as the crank Of the
engine passes the inner dead center,
Is ignited by the hot igniting tube,
giving the working stroke. The ex.
haust valve then opens to allow the
burnt charge to escape, completing
the cycle of operations. The ignitions
are continuous on all loads, and the
ignition tube is therefore retained ct
the required temperature without the
aid of lamp except when starting
the engine. The speed of the machine
is governed by varying the amount Ct
water and oil injected, so that on
heavy loads full charges Of oil and
water are delivered, while on light
loads small charges are given.
Automatic Railway Signal.
Misleading of signals and failure to
execute them are the most potent
causes of accidents on railways and
1t has been the work of many in
ventors to lessen these dangers by
introducing automatic signals, which
shall relieve the human mind Of the
responsibility as far as possible. Thus
the block systems now show signals
which are supposed to prevent the
train next following from running
into the one which has set the sig
nal. But these signals depend on the

judge Harlan's Bad Law.

Justice Harlan has queer humor
of his own. He is member of the
faculty of the Columbia Law school,
and night or two ago was talking at
the school with Judge Peele, of the
district court, of crimes. Il wish,
said Judge Peele, that you would
have your clerk send me copies of
some of the recent decisions of the
supreme court" "All right" Justice
Harlan replied. Then he asked abb
ruptly, do you want those cases in
which rendered dissenting opin-
ions?" 81 assume some of the cases
come under that head said Judge
Peele. You frequently do dissent,
you know" II shall not send them, "
snorted Judge Harlan. Il shall not be
responsible for the dissemination of
such law as appears in those major
ity opinions to which l have dissent

was born April, 1890, on Pilgrim Hill
farm, two miles east of Homer, Neb
thus making him about IA years old.
His height is 6 feet inches. He is
a grandson of Colonel Jesse F. War
ner, one of the earliest settlers of Da.
kota county. His great-grandfather
Rev. Moses Warner, was one Of the
earliest Methodist ministers Of Ne
braska. His father, R. c. Bauer, is
in business in Canada. The boy is
attending the high school at Lyons,
and is proficient in vocal and instru-
menta, music.

Stops Engine Without Aid.

Stops Engine Without Aid.
vigilance and action of the engineer,
and so it may be wise to go a step
further and make the block system
not only set signal against train
following on the same track, but also
operate a mechanism to bring the Sec
ond train to standstill should the
signal be unheeded.
How this may be done is shown in
the illustration. There is a lever
depending from the engine on the
small forward truck, with cord con-
Meeting with the throttle and also
with the bell and whistle. Beside the
track is long, light rail, which is
elevated or depressed after the man
ner of the signal arms. A reverse
lever is provided for use when the en-
CINE is backing and, seemingly, there
is little chance now for train to run
past the block set against it.
The inventor of this system is Orr
c. Fisher Of Delphos, Iowa.

A Pocket Umbrella.

An umbrella small enough to go in
side pocket is recent invention. II
is designed on the principle of the tele.
scope, and consist of series of tele.
scopic slides, carrying case and a
piece Of silk covering. On opening the
case in which it is contained the con-
tents resemble bundle of steel rods
in wrapping Of silk. These are, with
little manipulation, converted into
an umbrella of the orthodox shape,
the short handle of which draws out
into a stick Of the requisite length.
The cover is described as being quite
as stout, tight and rain-resisting as q
first-class umbrella of the old style.

The authorities of the province OF
Rome propose to build an electric
railway between the city of Rome and
Civite Castellana. The city council
Of Venice has decided to purchase a
number of electric launches for use
on the canals of that city. The gen

whose office is in Rome, has received
permission to purchase $50 electric
accumulators. The Adriatic Railroad
