HAND OR MACHINE LABOR.
Latter Is That Which Marks the su.
periority Of American Agriculture.

It Is the use Of machines that has
distinguished the American farmer
from the farmers in some Of the old
er countries in the world. The use Of
machinery has made the. American
farmer rich. Without it, he would
have been compelled to employ very
many more men to carry on the work
Of the farm, with the result that q
very large part of the returns coming
from the farm would have had to be
paid out for labor.
The American farm laborer has also
become a higher class worker be-
cause he has had to handle machin-
cry. His pay, as represented in his
living, has been far above that of the
hired laborers on some European
farms where the compensation is so
low that the laborer has to live on
black bread and beer. Think, says the
Farmers Review, of the American
farm laborer living on black bread and
beer the year around! He would re-
volt at once and would fee to the
city.
The most successful American farm
ers today are those that have settled
down to the conviction that they can
not afford to farm without the best
farm machinery that can be had. The
higher the price of labor the more is it
necessary to secure first-class farm
machines of all kinds, that the place
of the man that cannot be secured
may be taken by q machine.

HARVESTING WHEAT.
An Important Point In the Proper
.#. Shocking Of the Grain.

Since, the day Of self-binders, the
harvesting Of wheat has been an easy
task. Six horses, to be worked in
terchangeably, and good binder are
the essentials. II the weather is cool.
4 man can cut from 15 to 20 acres
each day by getting an early start
and changing teams every three or
four hours.
The cutting Of wheat is small
matter compared with shocking it so
that it will turn the heavy rains
sometimes incident to this. country
and also stand the fierce winds that
often accompany them After a
number of years experience in
shocking wheat writes correspond
ent of Farmers Voice, I have found
that the shock constructed after this
plan will stand the wind and weather
better than any other kind. The shock
is made of 16 bundles. Three pair
are set together in q line running
north and south, then three bundles
are placed to each side and one at
each end of the shock, after which
it Is capped with two good bundles
broken so as to form a kind of
roof. This makes q strong shock;
the caps act as a water shed, the
sides of the shock being to the east
and west are dried out quickly after
a rain, and being set to the north
and south it is better able to defy
the storms that generally come from
the northwest in the summer time.
Az soon as the shocks are suf1-
ciently cured after cutting the wheat
should be threshed or put into long
ricks, for If allowed to stand In the
shock It will be injured to some de-
gree, however good the weather may
be. If the farmer has a large crop,
he should thresh it the first opportu-
nifty after it is ready, and then put it
on the market from the machine, for it
seldom pays to bulk it up and wait for
a better market.

The observance of Memorial Day at
Bethel is accompanied by more cere-
mony than that at any other city or
town in the county. Bethel is a viii
lage of about 300 inhabitants. counting
those residents of nearby towns. but it
has acted as host to more notable per
sOnages than any town of its size in
the state. Its Memorial Day events
surpass those of this city and always
are attended by larger crowds. This
year will prove no exception. Con-

a speaker and a number of local
friends was asked to assist the COM
mittee in securing his services.

gether at Chicago much earlier than
usual so that the contests may be con-
sidered by the entire organization He
sent the following letter last night to
Elmer Dover, secretary of the commit

Il beg 10 advise you that. because Of
the unusually large number of contests
with which we are al this time threat
ened, ii is certain that the republican
rational committee will be called upon
10 meet this year at a date much in ad-
vance of the assembling of the conven-
tion. II is likely that this date may
be as early as the first of June and
this note is meant TO prepare YOU for
this emergency, should it arrive.
Il have fully determined, in view Of
the peculiar circumstances attendant
upon the contest for the presidential
nomination this year. that all contests
shall be heard by the fun membership
of the national committee There
will be no ub-cOmmittees under any
consideration, and. this being true, the
time spent in the settlement of con-
tests will be necessarily long.

This is not an official notice. but Is
m int cd for a..Tg
in order that you may make prepara-
tions To be in Chicago as early as the
first of June If il is found necessary to
assemble the committee at so early a
date. The official call will be issued
later when our information is suffi-
Ciently definite to enable us TO tell the

committee will probably have to at
tend to"

that every candidate for the nomina-

Il see by dispatches that certain men
have been mentioned as probable pre-
siding officers OF the convention" said
Captain New. Senator Beveridge,
for instance, has been mentioned for
temporary chairman. and Senator
Lodge for permanent Chairman. but
can state positively that there is moth
ing more than guess work in the mat
ter ar no action has been discussed
or taken by the National Committee"

month 10 open headquarters. He is
deluged with requests for tickets, but
he is not making any promises at this
time He said that the preliminary
arrangements for the convention were
proceeding as rapidly as could be ex-
.pected.

APPEALS FOR WOMAN
Claimed That Mrs. Jennie
Chapman Is Not Insane at
The Present Time.
THE COURT is CONVINCED.

Alleging that Mrs. Jennie Chapman
is not insane a petition has been filed
in the Wayne circuit court by Wilfred
Jessup. asking the court to restore her
legal standing to that of a sane person.
In speaking to the court this morning
the attorney declared he did not be
lieve Mrs. Chapman to be insane. He
said he had had a conversation with
her and is convinced that an error
was made in adjudging her a person of
unsOund mind. Judge Fox stated that
he had talked with the woman also
and believes there may be some doubt
as to the propriety in his action. The
court has been acquainted with Mrs.
Chapman for many years.
Mrs. Chapman was declared insane
without her appearance in court Ap-
plicatiOn for appointment of d guardi-
an was made by LeOta McW Kinney, of
Tennessee, niece of Mrs. Chapman.
She represented to the court Mrs.
Chapman was i'll and unable to be in
court al the time the proceedings were
taken. DR.. Benham was named as
guardian. He has been made party
to the restoration proceedings.

STUBBORNNESS PUT
MAN BEHIND BARS
Henry Regg Would Not Allow
His Relatives to Pay
His Fine.
ACCUSED OF ASSAULT .
YOUNG MAN BEAT UP HIS NEIGH.
BOR AS THE RESULT OF BACK
YARD GOSSIP, 1T is ALLEGED
HEAVILY FINED.

Simply because Of his own contrari
ness. Henry Regg. a we'll known
young man, went to Jail this morning
to lay out a fine of $35 and costs as
sessed against him in the circuit court
Regis brother at Cincinnati offered
to pay the fine The young man
He claimed the fine was too high for
the offense he had committed and pre-
ferred to go to Jail rather than pay
the amount sDecHed. The case was
heard in the circuit court on appeal
from the city court. Judge Converse
fined Regg $50 and costs and sen
fenced him to 12O days in Jail. Regg
entered a plea of guilty through his
attorneys.
Such action on the part Of the ac-
cused never had been seen in the cir
cult court before The father of the
young man, who is a veteran of the
Franco-Prussian war. left the court
room in despair after bidding his son
goodbye.
Regg was fined upon conviction of
the charge of assault and battery up
on Henry Tieman. Behind the story
of the assault, revenge for a gossiping
tongue is said to have been the mo-
tive. The Tieman and Regg families
were next door neighborS on South
Sixth street last summer. According
to the story as told by Regis attor-
ney. Henry Tieman and the father of
young Regg were accustomed to work
in their respective gardens in the
evening hours. They gossped over
the fence and Tieman told the sen
ior Regg tales about the latter's wife
The father was accustomed to return
to the house and berate the wife for
her alleged misconduct. This angered
young Regg and he gave Tieman to
understand it would be more advisa-
BILE for him to desist. 1t seems as if Tie
man did not abide by the instructions
or at any rate young Regg did not
think he did.
On the evening of June 10. RegG ac-
cOsted Tieman on the street. Words
were exchanged and Regg at.tcked
Tieman. The older man was knocked
to the ground and beaten and kicked
by Regg. Tieman's nose was broken
one rib was broken and number of
other severe injuries were sustained
The attack was one of the most
brutal made in this city in years The
finding of the city court was believed
to be in keeping with the evidence.
The appeal was taken to the circuit
court in the effort to save Regg a Jail
sentence Judge Fox was told the
fine of $50 was also excessive as it
was the first offense of the young
man. The court took this fact into
consideration and reduced the fine to
S35 and struck off the sentence, but
Regg went to jail, nevertheless.
