seeing where we could by the use of power and the abandonment of the old "Ben Franklin" style of "kicking 'e1n off," turn out our work with more rapidity and in a more workmanlike manner, sug- gested that we purchase their en- zine. We realizing that some thing more would have to be done to do the work being brought to our office, purchased their engine as before suggested. As soon as we had installed the engine, they ordered another, just double its power from the Olds Gas S Gaso- line Engine Works, of Kansas City, Mo. This engine served them with sufficient power until some two mouths ago when it was found that, by the installation of a power-hammer and other modern wording tools, the 6-horse power engine could not do the work re- quired to accomodate the trade which they were receiving. I'm mediately upon selling this, their second engine, to c. W. McCrory to run the mixing machine for the manufacture of his concrete blocks, they ordered another engine from the Olds people, just double the size of the second. MT. Riggs in- formed us that he thinks they now have sufficient power to do the large amount of work being brought to their shop. The Olds engines are second to none ill strength and durability and MT. Riggs has great faith in them as this is his second order. The above gentlemen have secured the agency for the Olds engines as can be seen by their ad in another colum of this paper, and we would advise any one contemplating 8 purchase to see their engines and prices be- fore buying elsewhere.

 For the benefit of those who abhor printer s ink as 8 prime factor to the advancement of their interests, we should state that Samson-the strong party was the first man to advertise. He took two solid columns to demonstrate his strength, and several thousand people 'tum- bled" to the scheme. He brought down the house.
 There has been exhibited from time to time, in this country, and that far too often, a maudlin and uncalled for sympathy for crimi- nals of certain class. If man con- mits some common crime, like larceny or burglary, but little notice is taken of the affair. Let man, however, commit murder, in which a woman is in some way involved, or any matter of a sen sational nature be connected there with, at once wave of unreason- ing sympathy sweeps over the land. The newspapers are filled with it. The criminal is represent ed as the victim of moral insanity. He is more sinned against than shining. He is undeserving of punishment, he becomes a hero in his own estimation and a martyr in the eyes of his maudlin sympa- thizers. Courts and juries are condemned because they have found him guilty, and governors are cursed if they will not con- mute his sentence or pardon him entirely.
