THE SMALLEST SCREWS.
To the Naked Eye They Look Like
Specks of Dust.

10 the Naked Eye Ihey LOOK Like
Specks Of Dust.
The smallest screws In the world are
those made In watch factories. They
are cut from steel wire by a machine,
but as the chips fall from the knife 1t
looks as II the operator was simply
cutting up the wire for his own d.
version One thing Is certaln-no
screws can be seen, and yet screw
is made By every third operation.
The fourth jewel wheel screw is
next to invisible, to the naked eye re-
sembling speck Of dust. With n
glass, however, II can be made out
quite distinctly. 1t has 2G0 threads to
an inch. These little screws are four
one-thousandth Of an inch In diam
eter, and the heads are double In size.
It has been estimated that an ordinary
thimble would hold 100000 Of them.
About 100000 of them are manu-.
factured In the course Of month,
but no attempt is ever made to count
them. In determining the number 100
of them are placed on very delicate
balance and the number Of the whole
quantity calculated from the weight
Of these. All the small parts Of the
watch are counted In this way, prob
ably so out Of the 100.
When they have been cut the screws
are hardened and put into frames,
about 100 to the frame. heads up. This
is done very rapidly, but entirely by
the sense of touch instead Of by sight,
so that a blind man with little ex-
perience could perform the task.
The next step in the process Is to
polish the heads in an automatic ma
chine, 10000 at time. The plate on
which this is done is covered with oil
and a grinding compound, and on this
the machine moves them very rapidly
by reversing motion until they are

curved Smokes.

There is no doubt that an iron wheel
with curved spokes is much more at.
tractive to the eye than the ordinary
variety, but 1t is not on account Of Its
appearance that 1t is constructed In
this manner. Wheels that are cast In.
variably contract little in the process
Of cooling, and those made with
straight spokes are always liable to
crack. The curved variety, by allow
ing certain give and take In the
metal, avoid this danger.

CORN CROP TO BE LEAN?
This is the Year of tho Mysterious
Seventh Season Hoodoo.

Seventh Season Hoodoo.
Chicago, April ga lean corn crop
this year is in store for the farmers
of this country if the figures advanced
by B. w. Snow are any criterion.
Judging from past performances over
a long series Of years, the crop is due
ito fall short of the bumper" yields
of recent years.
Beginning in 1874, when the crop
was severely injured by local droughts
and insects and the yield was S2,000,-
900 bushels less than the previous year,
every seven years there has been a
partial failure of the crop from one
cause or another.
Mr. Snow publishes several tables
showing the ups and downs of the crop
since 1870.
'"rhe corn crop Is perhaps the one
which is most dependent upon the
character Of the season for a large
part of the year, it's period of growth
extending from early spring until the
advent of killing frosts," says Mr..
Snow can examination of the records
taken for nearly forty years, taking up
the average yield each year, shows
that years of strikingly deficient crops
were remarkably periodical. Reports Of
the weather bureau for these years of
low average yields show an equally
striking periodicity in heavy deficiency
of moisture"

IN PEN; IS SUED
Ex-superintendent Of Water Mains
One of Defendants in Three Du-
buque Suits, Which Are outerowth
of MuddIe Over Water Plant.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, April 2S.-Three suits filed
in the district court of Dubuque coun-
ty, this afternoon, are an outgrowth
over the muddle which the city has
been in for over two years, over the
water plant which is owned by the
city. One of the suits filed is against
x-Superintendent Macarthur and his
bondsmen, and calls for the sum of
$16,O66. Macarthur is now serving a
term in the state penitentiary at Fort
Madison for embezzling the funds of
the department
The other two suits are against ex-
Trustees Ellwanger and Ryder, and
are for sums approximating $4,000
EACH The allegation in each instance
is that the defendants, in their official
CAPACITY, failed or neglected to per-
form their duty in the collection Of
water rentals, and to see that moneys
collected by employees of the depart
ment (the superintendent were turned
over to the city treasurer.

Well. HELEN claims he didn't get
the invitation. And he has his ideas
whether or not 1t was sent Any way,
following the luncheon by Lacey and
HELEN and the investigation they
made, HELEN published some things.
He wrote a column editorial telling
that Adams is an incompetent and IN
efficient manager, and that If Alllson
is defeated it will be due to Adams
poor management. He showed that
the blunders of the early campaign of
George ID. Perkins two years ago, When
Senator Jackson was in charge, are
being repeated now by the Allison
people He says that it is only barely
possible for wise management to pull
the campaign thru. and tho he does
not mention Ed II. Hunter as the pos
sble manager. this can be inferred
from the fact that Hunter was the
man brought into the Perkins cam
paign when jackson made 1allure

fvsef fn lS
out plainly on the Allison campaign
management. He has been telling little
things about it for some time in his
newspaper correspondence and few
days ago predicted an open split. He
pointed out that Allison was trying to
carry water on both shoulders, in that
he was trying to get both standpat and
progressive votes and expected the
solid support of the standpatters while
having his campaign managed by a
progressive.
Evidences of this predicted split are
already at hand. A few days ago the
standpatters stepped over Adams head.
After waiting in vain for him to ar
range to get some speakers into the
field they took the matter up them
selves and communicating with Sena-
tor Dolliver arranged for him to come
to Iowa and speak in Des Moines April
%. Then they sent for Adams and told
him what they had done.
There is every evidence that the pre-
dictions of Richards of a split are to
come true. The standpatters propose
that the victory in the election of Al
lison shall be a standpat victory and
by standpat victory they mean that 1t
must be victory for the Blythe cor
poration interests and anti-tariff revis-
ion. If it cannot be that, and all OF
that they are almost willing to see AL
lison defeated-till they think of Cum :
MINIS. That thought is almost enough
to sober them.
The primary election is five weeks
from next Monday and the time is now
probably too gar gone to make a
change of management at this stage OF
the campaign and If the change was
made it is too late to do anything to
recover the lost ground.

RICH BEDFORD REcLusE DEAF
Dr.. A. M. GolIiday, Once Prominent
Physician, Meets Wretched Death.


Special to Times Republican.
Bedford, April 23.-Fulflling the
prophecy of the community. DR.. Alfred
NJ. Golliday, Bedford's famous rich re-
cluse, died alone in his old shack
among wretched surroundings, and me
rats had attacked his body when
it was found. DIR. Golliday in recent
years never undressed to go to bed,
and he was found with all his clothes
on, even to the shoes on his feet. His
sister lived in Bedford, also, but the
doctor held himself aloof from her as
we'll, and she did not know of his
death until he was found several days
at least following his demise.
Why Dr. Golliday shut himself up
from the world nobody really knows.
He was a man of scholarly attain
ments, he was at the top in his pro-
fession in southern Iowa, he had
wealth, he was once popular, and yet
he in recent years lived in abject squal-
or, and he died even more wretchedly
than he lived.
DR.. Golliday was nearly so years old
and he lived in Bedford about fifty
years. He came here after graduating
from Rush Medical College in 1857. In
his younger days he had an immense
practice extending all over this and
adjoining counties. He never married,
his wants were few, and he accumulat-
ed a large fortune. He was great
student, and as the years passed he
gave himself more and more to his
books until finally he became re-
cluse. In an early day he built little
frame office on one of the best lots in
Bedford. Back of this, in a little frame
shanty, he lived Tho rich, he declined
to improve his property, and modern
brick structures crowded around It,.
He built high board fence around his
lot. and within this he had stored
enough lumber and rubbish to load a
dozen freight cars, while the whole
grounds were perfect jungle of brush
opd trees and vines
