A New Mower
.l, EA &ZT4e9I @- 7-E

We are indebted toJ. c. Knapp
for the following clipped from
the Jackson (Mich, Weekly
Patriot. The manufactui of a
new and improved farm mower
is one of the great things Jack
son brains, ingenuity and indus
try has been doing for a number
Of weeks past. The inventor is
c. D. Carter, who is patente of
about twenty-five devices, sever
al of which are being used by
leading manufacturers of farm
machinery.
Ore big advantage, tits lighter
by $50 pounds than any other.
This fact alone would appeal to
any intelligent farmer who would
tighten the draft of his team.
The pitman with it's chain of
gearing is cut out, The knife is
run by a new mechanical device
with only two moving parts, run
ming without friction, noise or
vibration, and with three times
the power of the pitman. The
pitman in other mowers is the
cause of more trouble and ex-
pense than the rest of the ma
chine. 1t is much in the way. 1t
packs the hay down in the swath.
All other mowers take the motion
from the axle, the slowess mov-
ing part and build it up with
gears to obtain the necessary
speed, weighing the machine
down with metal until either
wheel alone will run the knife
when circling, which system re-
quires a heavy machine and a
heavy draft to overcome the
friction Of gearing and Pitman.
The new Carter mower takes
the motion from near the rim of
the wheel, the fastest moving
part, and applies it direct to the
knife with but one roller bear
ing between-using the right
hand wheel, but having the trac-
tion Of both. For this reason
it is said that a machine with
half the weight and half the
draft will cut where others fail.

 Chihuahua Enterprise: Accord ing to Monterrey press dispatch to the Mexican Herald, that city is getting agitated over her public service works, sewer and water systems, and the enormous debt contracted therefor. As appears in the recent message of Gov. Der nardo Reyes to the state legislature, This message discloses the fact, ac cording to dispatch, that the state acknowledges that $4,l45,000 has been put into these works and the state guarantees 10 per cent in terest thereon annually for 99 years or the total sum of $41000,. GOO. El Renacimiento, the anti Reyes newspaper of Monterrey, criticises severely this financial condition and argues the juggling with figures when it is claimed that 4 out of this 10 per cent only is interest and the other 6 per cenl goes for expenses and repairs. EI Renacimiento makes no imputa. ton of graft according to this dis patch, but confines i's entire article to a simple exposition af the hnan- cial abilitity of Gov. Bernardo

Mexican Herald: Hacendados who reside in this city and who have plantations in the valley of Mexico, say that the damage done crops by the frosts of the past three nights will.be very heavy, especial ly to young corn and beans. Es- inmates vary from $1,000,000 up wards of $10000000. From priv ate reports received it seems that the greatest damage has been done to plantations situated near the mountains, where unusually heavy snows have fallen.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Junius Romney, president of the Juarez Stake of the Mormon colonies in this state, and Alonzo L. Taylor, were here this week from Colonia Juarez. They stated that while the fruit crop of the colonies was generally short that the apple crop for the summer was very good and the winter crop will be also The latter is not ripe yet but judging by some samples of different var ieties which Messrs. Romney and Taylor gave the editor of this paper, the coming crop will fully sustain the proven reputation of the state for possibilities in produc- ing as good apples as can be pro- duced in the world.

that opens the Dry Farming exposition
tomorrow morning 1900 men interested
in raising grain and vegetables in re-
gions of little rainfall will be present
and 500 or 1000 more will arrive to-
morrow, so there will be an attendance
of from 1900 to 1000 delegates when the
fourth Dry Farming congress opens
Tuesday morning.
The Dry Farming congress was or
ganized in Denver four years ago and
was a little meeting of $50 men which
has grown until 1t is attended now by
several delegations of that number and
representatives of at least a dozen for
eign countries.
In the matter of new officers there
has been little development The gov
ernor of the state where the next meet
ing is to be held will be the president
if the precedent is followed. Each
state interested in the movement Will
be represented on the executive COM
mittee or board of governors Officials
of eleven railroads will be in attend
ance.
In the exposition is displayed ma
chinery adapted to dry farming and
every vacant lot in the business sec
ton is occupied by manufacturers
showing their wares.

ONE HUNDRED MEN KILLED AND
900 WOUNDED
Insurgents Capture Two Krupp Guns
and 400 Rifles-Defeat Hae
Deterrent Effect on
Government

BLUE FIELDS, Nicaragua, Oct. "a
The tug Blanca, which arrived here
from Greytown, brings news of the
first important battle of the revolution.
General Chamorros' army fought an
engagement on Friday with 1000 of
President Zelaya's troops at a point
below Boca San Carlos on the San
Juan railroad.
The revolutionists won a decisive vic
tory, 100 of the government troops be-
ing killed and 300 wounded.
The losses of General Chamorros
were slight. The insurgents captured
two Krupp siege guns and 400 rifles.
The defeat doubtless will have a de-
terrent effect on recruiting for the gov
eminent service at Managua and is
likely also to bring additional rein
forcements to the standards of the in
surgents.
The steamer Yulu belonging to the
Emory company, also has reached here
with the details of the capture by the
revolutionists of Cape Gratias Dios.
This point was easily taken, not more
than five or six men being killed, and
a small number wounded.
This gives the revolutionists control
of the entire Atlantic coast.

IN SCHOOL LEAGUE
SOUTHERN STATE RACE IS
FAST AND FURIOUS
LONG BEACH MANY POINTS IN
VAN OF OTHERS
edisons, Redondo and DoWney All
Have Good Chance for Second
Honors--Ferrarls Twirls
Great Ball

Long Beach took firmer grasp on
the Southern State Baseball league
pennant yesterday, when the Gateway
nine defeated Redondo. Three teams
are tied for second place and the battle
from now on promises to be fast and
furious. Downey, bv slipping one over
on Gardena, has an excellent chance
for second money. Next Sundays
game will break up this neck-and-neck
affair. at least for the time being.
Downey took a fall out of the Gar
dena baseball nine yesterday at Gar
dena in one of the fastest and most
exciting games of the series. When
the dust of conflict had lifted the visit
ors were safely ensconced upon the
long end of a to 1 reckoning. Dow
ney's last two games evidence the fact
that this team is at present one of the
strongest in the entire Southern State
league, and should the present class of
ball have begun earlier in the season
the aggregation would undoubtedly
have had better average.
Both Abbott and Deweese pitched
gilt-edge ball, half -ozen errors on
the part of the Gardena boys being
responsible for the score:

Mo Class Here

The following is from Anaheim and
rings true: 1.-THE Teddy Bears failed to
appear for their game yesterday, The
Los Angeles Athletic clubs nine has
done the same thing. This not only
puts the Anaheim boys to a great ex-
rense, but gets them in bad with the
fans. If there is any reason for the
teams not appearing. why don't they
give some notice through The Herald?
Any responsible teams wishing a game
for the following Sundays will COM
municate with Manager c. H. Fisher,
Box 205, Anaheim, or through The
Herald. Expenses for ten men and
one square meal will be Forthcoming"
Fisher is dead right. If team can
not fill an engagement it is up to them
to let the other fellows know, if they
have to hire a wireless. Something is
wrong when a team gets a deal like
Anaheim reports.

Occidentals Lose

Many teams have believed that they
could play some ball, viz: Bakersf ell
and the Salt Lake Occidentals The
latter won the championship of Ut9h,
but then Mormons never could play
worth a hooray anyhow. Yesterda Y
the crack colored team bucked up
against Pasadena. And right there the
famous winning streak stopped. It
stopped dead short, buckled up and
fattened out right in the center of
Tournament park. If Pasadena can
run up an to 2 score against the
northern aggregation, what will the
McCormicks, Salt Lakes, Maiers, Long
Beach and about fifty other mines be
able to do? Annis allowed the visitors
but five hits Wachob receiving his
delivery Langford-no, not Sam

ATHLETICS DEFEAT
STARS AT SPOKANE

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 24.-The
Philadelphia Athletics defeated the Ma
tional All-Stars here today. Charley
Hall, an old Seattle Coast league star,
pitched good ball for the Nationals for
six innings, but weakened toward the
close. For the Athletics Coombs was
effective with runners on bases, but
Donohue was off in his throwing to
bases.
A running catch and double play by
Doyle was a feature, although Strunk,
Oldring and G. Hall did clever work.
Harry Davis and Konetchy hit the ball
hard. Vic Holm, Spokane's leading
pitcher during the past Northwestern
league season, win pitch for the Ma
tionals tomorrow and continue on the
trip to the coast with them. Holm goes
to the White Sox next year. Score:

locals believe they have won, their
average per man per range being 41.6,
and Spokane's average for then ten
men being 40.3.
THE shoot for the off-hand medal
brought up some queer instances of
shooting. Nichols bored out A in his
first ten shots and yet landed but 62
for his total for the fifteen shots off
hand. Crossman shot AZ with his
Springfield on the team match and
later shot a new Mauser with tele-
scope sight for the medal. Owing to
the light loads used, the bullets blew
all over the target and he landed but
60, three bulleyes short of the number
he made with his Springfield in ten
shots,
Kellogg carried off the trophy, keeS-
ing up the work of giving everybody
a chance to wear the medal At pres
ent he has won it once, Miles once,
Nichols once and Crossman twice.
From present appearances it will keep
circulating for some time yet before 1t
is finally gathered in.
Mrs. Crossman shot for the trophy,
but owing to a bad lot of ammunition,
landed a low miss and several low
shots for which weak cartridges were
responsible.
Huddleston, Felsenthal and Watson
qualified for Marksman Reserve but
tons, making a total of sixteen men
qualified for the decoration to date.
A rifle and revolver shoot will be
held Sunday, November 7. At the meet
ing of the club Thursday evening,
plans for the fitting up of an indoor
range will be discussed. The National
Rifle association has planned a series
of indoor team shoots for the coming
winter in preparation for the selection
of an American smallbore team to
shoot against England and Australia,
with miniature rifles and indoors, some
time in the later winer.
