A WONDERFUL CLOCK,
Made with a Scroll Saw, III M mer ana
Jackkuifc.

With scroll saw. plane. hammer
and common pocket knife. one
armed cripple has made the most re-
markable clock in the world. The
maker Is Marvin Shcarer. of Akron,
Ohio. He is q scenic artist. but his
hobby IL mechanics His pet project
for the last IL years has been to make
surprisingly wonderful timepiece,
but 1t was not until disabled that he
found the time. The clock Is IL feet
four inches high. more than -four feet
/ wide. aud almost three feet deep. 1t
contains 4.l6l pieces of wood of 81
different kinds. There are 192 pictures
in or on the clock. all of which Mr..
| Shcarcr painted. The motive power
consists of II water pump having Il ca
pacty of 200 gallons per hour. one
| half horsepower electric motto" and
several other electric appliances.
The clock weighs $50 pounds and Is
constructed in three sections. On the
face of the top section are nine dials.
seven of which give the time in three
foreign cities and four American cities;
one the local standard time. the other.
the calendar dial. indicating all tho
changes of the moon. the month. day
and date. The weather signals are
translated by signal flags on n revolv-
ing staff directly In front Of the calen.

and hydrometers. each tells its tale,
and around the dals pieces OF wood
from each State. territory and foreign
possession in the Union are arranged

On either side of the clock dill can
be seen every man.ofwar in the Unit
ed States Navy, arranged according tC
their class and speed. followed by the
different squadrOns I'm their official or

a passion history of Christ. All these
pictures have their stated times Of ap

which 100 gallons Of water fall ever,

ed in the army. under the impression
that they would have IN easy time.
The habits about which complaint Is
made were not acquired in the army,
but before enlisting. This gives rise
10 an inquiry why such recruits were
accepted. Probably the answer is
that they We're the only ones who
presented themselves. THE chief dis
position of many OF these recruits,
saws one of the commanding officers,
seems to be to hunt some place to lie

WOmen's Work In Korea.

AS there are no labor-saving ma.
chimes in Korea, women's work is done
by the crudest and hardest methods
possible, from hulling rice with a
heavy wood or stone pestle to washing
clothes by beating them In the streams
and ironing them with sticks. In or.
der to iron, the clothes must always be
ripped apart ana wrapped round a
wooden roller while damp. They are
then beaten by either one or two WON.
en-. 1t IL surprising to see the gloss
on the white calico and the sheen upon
the linen produced by this method Of
ironing. 1t surpasses the dressing one
sees in this country on newly bought
linen. Since the people dress eXclu.
sively in white, the woman's day-and
often much of the night, too--is spent
in wash-ironing, ironing and sewing.

WINNESHlEK COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
Preparations for the Republican Campaign
in This County Include Meetings
by Prominent Speakers in
all Parts of the
County.

The republican county central COM
mittee announce the opening gun of
the campaign in this county, to be
held at Kendallville on Friday even
ing of this week, when Congressman
G. N. Haugen will address tie people
of that section. Mr.. Haugen has many
friends in the northeastern part of the
county and will no doubt be given a
large hearing
The plans for the local campaign
have not as yet been completed. but
they give promise for activity from
now on until election. Preparations
are being made for big rally in De-
corah the latter part of October. The
committee is making an effort to Sc.
cure Senator Dolliver as the princI-
pal speaker. AS is we'll known, Sena-
tor Dolliver is now with Senator Fair
banks on the great tour of the cam
paign throughout the west, being Sc
lected by the national republican COM
mittee from all the great speakers of
the nation as the one man to accom-
pany him and speak with him on the
entire tour. He is in great demand
in all parts of the nation. but has re-
served few dates for Iowa and if we
can get him we will be fotunate.
There is no greater campaign speak
er in the nation. and he will attract a
large crowd to DEBORAH.
Meetings have been arranged for
Castalia next week Tuesday, Oct. 18th
and at Calmar next Wednesday, Oct.
10Th, with Hon. W. s. Hart of Wauk-
on, as speaker. Capt. Hart delivered
the Decoration Day address in DEBORAH
last spring which delighted the large
audience that heard it and won for
him added laurels as a speaker. He
Will without doubt please those who
hear him at these meetings.
Hon s. A. Nelson, of Humboldt,
has been assigned to Ridgeway on the
evening of Oct 9th and to Hesper
Oct. 2Sth. Mr.. Nelson has been en-
gagged in campaign work for several
years, and is very able and popular
speaker, being especially successful in
Scandinavian communities. He should
be greeted by crowded houses at these
two places.
1t is probable that other meetings
will be arranged for Congressman
Haugen and some of our local speakers
before the close of the campaign, so
that each section of the county will
have an opportunity to hear discus
sion Of the issues 1t is hoped that
all the meetings will be generally at
tended, and it is believed that in each
instance those who are present will be
we'll repaid for going.

A Midnight JambOree.

The residents of the south part OF
the city were entertained about mid
night Monday evening by the jange-
lations OF company of young men
who were out on spree. AS the story
goes one of the farmers of the north
part of the county was in the city
Monday, and that evening was thrown
in company with some young fellows
who had taken on a bit too much "red
eye" The young fellows invited him
to the south part of the town to see
some kind of a show, and when near
the corner of Pearl and Mechanic
streets the farmer was called upon to
pay the way TO the show for the
crowd, which he consented to do and
produced a ten dollar bill Will Pro-
per was in the gang and ii is reported
that he told the farmer to give him
the bill and he would get 1t changed.
Proper offered him his watch as secur-
ity until he got the bill changed, but
when he reached to take it grabbed
the bill from the farmer, keeping the
watch. A struggle between the two
followed, which awoke the neighbors,
who parted them and took the farmer
up town where he stayed over night.
Afterwards Ira Rima was called and
arrested Proper at the Chas Peck
barn. where ha has been staying while
working for Anderson Bros. bat he
resisted so that Officer Rima used his
club to the extent that the sidewalk
between there and the Jail was pretty
we'll besmeared with blood yesterday
morning.
Yesterday morning Proper was
brought before Mayor Daubpey but
was let out on parole during the day
so that he might clean himself up.
Just before supper he suffered an
epileptio fit and was taken TO Jail
again. He will be given a trial today.
