Inconsistent.

The Conrad is pluming itself over
the reduced majority of Congressman
Norris in this county, and intimates
that the Com-Ad had something to do
with it. AS a matter of fact, Norris
received 65 more votes than did Shell
don for governor, only six less than
Hopewell for lieutenant governor, and
more than any other Republican candi-
date except Thorne for state senator.
The Roosevelt wave of two years ago
greatly helped the Republican candi-
dates, and the vote of that year bears
no relation to the vote of this year.
According to Hosmer's theory of the
value of the Com-Ad's influence in mat
tiers political, the majority of 413 for
Blackledge should have been on the
other side, as that paper gave a great
deal more space to booming Mr.. Wal.
ters than it did to knocking" or

George Clauson, who has been engi-
neering a pile driver for o than
thirty years, wants somebody to figure
out a problem which has been puz-
cling him all that time. The pile
driver which he now uses has a ham,
mer weighing 1,4O0 pounds, and Mr..
Clauson would like to know how many
times the hammer increases its weight
in a drop of 20 feet. Mr.. Clauson has
noticed hat the pile driver will drive
a post into the ground almost exactly
the same distance at every blow, not
withstanding the earth becomes more
packed and the post harder to drive
the farther it is driven into the earth.
He would also like to know how much
the weight Of the blow increases, say
for each additional four inches the
hammer falls. viii somebody please
figure this out and send the reply to

FARMER 'cHoKEo ON WINDMILL
setscrew seizes His Coat and Twists
II TIGHT Around His Neck.

Newman Grove, Neb., Nov. 6.-Mer-
rift B. Otis, a farmer whose home is
twelve miles from this place in Emer-
lex township, was choked to death In
a tragic way. He had gone up on his
windmill to shut it off. There vas no
wind when he started and apparently
no danger. Before he could turn off
the wheel a breeze sprang up and set
It in motion. A set screw caught In
the collar of Otis coat and began
choking him. He managed to call his
wife for aid and she ran out of the
house and climbed up on the frame
and tried desperately to disentangle
his coat from the screw, but failed.
Then she descended and sought-but
also in vain-to shut of the power.
AS a last hope she rushed into the
house and %telephoned neighbors for
aid. When they reached the mill Otis
was dead from choking.
