Alexander Simons, a colored barber in

cut before he was shot by Pride. On the
morning Of the shooting Francis had just
had his hair cut when Pride entered the
shop. After oonversing for a few moment
Francis commenced to abuse Pride, APP
plying vile epithets to him. Pride, the
witness said, attempted to appease Fran
els, telling him that there was evidently
some Misunderstanding and that he, Pride,
would explain matters. Francis refused
to listen to Pride and on leaving the shop
exclaimed, "Yau may be a big Niger, but
I can whittle you down to my size and II
don't matter where 1 spend eternity"
The testimonX/of Pride's wife practically

to the effect that Pride shot Francis in

In putting new cells in your motor car,
never place in any more cells in series than
originally came with the machine. With a
good coil. four TO six cells I'm series will
give satisfactory service on almost all
cars, and II -four cells give satisfactory
service, then a greater number connected
in series will last a shorter length OF time,
TO say nothing OF the excessive burning
and pitting OF the platinum points OF the
coil. To any one not versed in electrical
matters, this statement seems strange, but
it is easily understood IL you consider that
when you add more cells the voltage Of the
battery is raised. Consequently a greater
amount OF current would flow through the
coil, and the more current that flows, of
course, the shorter will be the life Of the
battery. When adding fresh cells to a
battery, test all cells and remove those
which are almost run down.

The constant, healthy, substantial growth
of the automobile business is exemplified
In no stronger manner than by a review of
the growth Of the H. e. Fredrickson COM
pany. In 1898, when the idea of the un-
skilled man being able to control a motor
driven vehicle on country roads at an aver
age speed Of twenty-five miles per hour
was purely a dream that only the most
imaginative could formulate, II. e. Fred
rlcksop purchased his first m and
offered it for sale. People laughed at him
and wagged their heads. But time proved
that this experience in battling with these
problems was necessary to produce a clean
cut judgment on points of designing and
! construction hat would make possible the
selections of the better grades Of auto
mobiles.
The experiences with steam, gasoline and
electric cars were exasperating at the time
and are amusing. The arguments that were
used in favor of each were hard to resist,
as crNde as they now appear. One of the
most noteworthy performances Of one Of
Mr.. Fredrickson's first gasoline cars was
a trip from Omaha to South Omaha-a
distance of eight miles-without a break
down. The newspapers made special mem
ton of this sensational trip.
