Care OF Farm Machinery.

Good reasoning tells us that there
are bu; two times during the year that
fnrm machinery needs any special
care. First. when II Is In use; second
when II is not in use.
One season without shelter will
damage farm machinery more than
TIE wear caused by Its use during the
season.. The action OF the weather
which win cause rustlng OF the iron
and steel, as well as the rotting OF the
wood parts. will seriously interfere
with the working OF the machine when
70 Il again put In use. BY this ex
posure certain parts are very much
Weakened and the machine becomes
Of shorter life.
When the seasons work with a GER
tain machine has been finished. n
should be thoroughly cleaned and ali
parts that are liable TO rust should be
carefully wiped with oiled waste OF
~ oiled rag. II is a good idea to coat
those parts with either tallow or q
good grade OF axle grease.
After carefully putting away the
greased parts, the implement should
Be stored In a shed OF some kind
rather than be left IN the open.

1t was an honorable title. Buffalo had
long been in the grip of unscrupulous
politicians.
Grown arrogant from power and rich
from graft, they had come to regard
rule wholly to their interest as a
settled right. Mayor Cleveland dis
abused their minds. Raids on the
treasury were blocked by his veto.
Oficeholders were warned that their
allegiance was due the people. Claims
of friendship and the pressure Of pow
erful influence were without effect up
on him. His sturdy fights in the inter-
est of his employer" were widely pub
lished and attracted attention through
out the state.

So it happened that when the Dem

didate for governor their eye natur-
ally turned toward Buffalo. Grover
Cleveland was placed at the head of
their ticket He was elected over
Charles ]. Folger, then secretary Of
the treasury, by 100000 plurality.
Cleveland's record as mayor and his
overwhelming victory in the election
made him a national figure. There was
widespread curiosity as to the course
he would pursue as governor. He
gained new celebrity through his We
toes. He refrained from discourses

From an authoritative source it was
learned that Prosecuting Attorney
Karl Weber has secured damaging in

member of the board of public service,
and other sources. Immel pleaded
guilty to having taken bribes from NJ.
F. Bramley, of Cleveland, and got a
sentence of four years. 1t is under
stood that Immel, since then, in con-
sideration of recommendation for a
Parole in about a year, is willing TO
GO to prison, but others will have to
go, too. The information carries with
it the fact that Prosecutor Weber had

CIRCUS CLOWN
Builds Bonfire in His Room and Burns
Himself to Death.

Columbus, O.-Charles Rench, aged
As years, known for more than de-
cade as one of the foremost circus
clowns in the world, was burned to
death in fire which he is thought to
have started himself in the home IT
his sister, Mrs. Kate Deaver, 276 South
Front street.
The man had recently developed y
mania for collecting waste paper,
which he stored in his room.
Rench was seen to enter the house
five minutes before the fire was dis
covered with an armful of papers.
He went to his room on the second
floor, and he is believed to have delib'
erately set fire to a paper supply OF
several weeks.
Heroic efforts were made to rescue
the old Snowman, but the fire gained
such rapid headway that nothing could
be done for him.
Several hundred persons watching
the fire heard Rench scream. The
body was badly charred.
He had worked for every big circus
in the country, and had toured every
country on the globe.
