MECHANICS
ARE INTERESTED IN INVENTION
OF YOUNG MAN.
IL May DO Away With Eccentric on
Engine. IL IL Proves Practicable
at All.

Mechanics at the Illinois Central
railroad shops are puzzling over an
invention that was worked up by al
country boy, who lives this side OF
Louisville. A model of the improve
ment is in the office of Master Me-
chanic ]. II. Nash, and nearly every
machinist and engineer has looked
the model over. The improvement, IL
IL be a success, will eliminate the
eccentric on the steam engine. and
has a slightly different link motion
which regulates the movement of the
valves that control the entrance of
steam into the cylinder. Opinions as
to the success of the Improvement are
varied. but practically every machin-
list admits that the model has some
merit, and with more work doubtless
the model can be perfected. Theoret-
ically the improvement appears all
right, and when air is blown into the
model II will work, but some of the
experienced engineers doubt whether
IL would prove a success on a large
locomotive as they claim IL is not sup
ported properly, and the delicate
mechanism may not work in the VI
bration of the locomotive.
The design was worked out by al
country lad and submitted to the
railroad officials, who are considering
the model before any attempt Is made
to apply the model to a locomotive
Many of the famous inventions have
been suggested by persons. ignorant
of machinery. but the ideas have been
and are in common use to-
day, and this leads the officials to
make a thorough examination before
rejecting II. The locomotive link has
been improved but little since Steven
son invented ii, and the link motion
on the big iron moguis today is prac-
tically the same as on the small To-
comotives that ran over the wooden
rails in colonial days.
II the invention of the country lad
is practical 1t will quite simplify
one of the most intricate parts of the
steam engine. The model has a link
but the eccentric is done away with.

connection with II.

clarei not elected In fewer words
their places are stolen from them
and by the very element that has
raised the mighty cry Of law and dts
enforcement. Then later to I'LL these
vacancies a fiy-by-night election is
called in each of the five precincts
by the usurpers and the results of
this bob-cat affair in Almo and
South Brlnkley Is a prostitution of
justice, violation of every principle
of Democracy and decency. Mon
archy breeds anarchy, and the fac
ton or party that attempts to rule
with the iron rod will not find theirs
a fiowery bed of ease. and the people
whose right of suffrage is denied
them, who are robbed of justice and
made serfs will rise in their indigna-
ton and blot out the oppressors.
"Why were these committeeman
removed? No man questions their
election, which was almost unani-
nous in each precinct. Who does it
benefit? Was il for the good of the
people? Will the honest citizenship,
the citizenship that believes in "a
square deal for every man, in doing
right in all things. everywhere. en-
iorse what has been done? Not so.
The forces that are bringing about
this reign OF infamy will be made to
halt by the honest citizens whom
they now expect TO hoodwink and
cajole into becoming party to the
crime"

DUN's REVIEW.

New York. Jan. 23.-Develop-
ment in trade is along conservative
lines. Larger pay rolls in manufactur
ing centers naturally help retail dis
tribution, but this is still much re-
stricted, though underlying conditions
are firmly maintained because of re-
duced stocks in retailers hands. The
prospect of a change in the customs
revenue laws naturally curtail opera
tons in a number of important in
dustries, and many enterprises that
would add materially to the volume OF
the business are held in check until
there is definite knowledge regarding
the provisions of these laws. Contin-
ued low water restricts the operation
of some New England paper and 9TH
er mills. The movement of cotton was
large and prices firmly maintained
In the west factories in important in
dustries are stin operated short OF
! full capacity, but additional help is
constantly employed, enlarging the
output very gradually.
Quiet conditions still prevail in
iron and steel and no transactions of
Importance are noted. Fair orders
are received by some of the smaller
plants, but much Of this business Is
said to be obtained through moderate
concessions in prices. Cast iron pipe
is the most active department of the
iron market. The consumption Of
copper is not keeping pace with the
record production and prices are de-
clining in consequence.
Manufacturers OF cotton goods are
displaying more independence than
for some time past. partly owing to
the firmness of the raw material, but
principally as a result of the marked
improvement in the China trade. In
the home market heavy goods are
more active and prices firm. While
most wooden lines except fine fancy
worsted, have now been opened, but
the number of buyers operating Is
still small and prices have not beer
definitely settled.

REPAIR THE SIDEWALKS.

Although, It is probable that few
concrete sidewalks will be laid this
summer, owing to the excessive cost
under the present system of paying
for them, that is no reason why side
walk work should not be done. Brick
sidewalks are very good, and have
the advantage, when kept In repair
OF draining quickly. There are
stretches on the principal streets OF
the city devoid of sidewalks, notably
Broadway beyond Eleventh street.
There are other places, where side
walks are in such a state Of disrepair
that they are dangerous TO pedes-
trians. These should be repaired. II
Is not fair to a man, living out dis
lance from the center OF the city,
who pays a big price for his side
walks. which benefit those living
beyond him, to be compelled, him
self, to tramp through the mud OF
stumble over broken walks coming
into the city. 1t would pay the city
TO detail a policeman as sidewalk In
spector, and get him out early this
spring.

The Best Family Newspaper.

An ideal newspaper for the Ameri-
can home must be habitually clean
and high minded, It must offer some
thing of interest to every member OF
the family, and it must present daily
the news of the whole world in au-
thentic and readable form. A large
contract, you will say. Well, the news
paper that comes nearest to filling Il
in the west is The Chicago Record
Herald. Its moral tone is always
high, its news service is unsurpassed,
and probably no other paper In tho
United States has so brilliant an ar
ray of special features suited to the
tastes and needs OF every member of
the family.
Business and professional men have
long regarded The Record-Herald as
the best paper for their own reading
because of its unequaled faculty for
getting all the news of the world and
putting II into the briefest possible
form for the busy man. They also
esteem 1t for the reliability of its
financial, agricultural and market re-
ports. Young men perhaps find its
greatest attraction in the excellent
sporting department. which fills four
entire pages on Sunday and a page
or more on other days. Wives and
mothers emphatically prefer The Rec
ord-Herald on account of its we'll
feminine departments-lts
daily recipes and menus, It's daily
fashion news and hints for home
dressmaking, Nine. Out Wives pun
gent and sensible beauty talks, Marion
Harland's famous page and the rest
of the good things that make up the
handsome Woman's Section In the
Sunday paper. Children enjoy the
Little Memo and other Comic Section
pictures. with the bright stories for
boys and girls every Sunday. And all
the family together can enjoy the In
teresting travels and special articles
Of William e. Curtis. Mr.. Kiser's hui
NOR and verse, the serial stories and
many similar features outside the

every right to call itself the best all

A FERTILIZER FACTORY

Marion county, perhaps, uses more
fertilizer than any county in this Sec
ton of Florida, yet it has no fertilizer
factory, while Gainesville has two,
and there may be others in Alachua
county.
This fact was told to Mr.. w. d.
earn some time ago by the editor of
the Fruit and Truck Grower, and he
was urged to raise a stock company
for the founding of fertilizer factory
in Ocala. Mr.. earn said that as he
had little money to invest he would
take the matter under consideration.
The more he thought about it and the
more investigation he devoted to it
the more favorable the project ap-
peared to him, so he went actively
ahead trying to raise funds enough to
establish a stock company, and has
succeeded admirably. No industry in
Florida has declared larger profits on
the amount of capital invested or has
grown from small beginnings to more
colossal proportions. We sincerely
hope that the one Mr.. earn is trying
to establish will prove no exception to
the rule.
1t will be capitalized at twenty
thousand dollars, and most of the
We understand, has been sub
scribed.
