For Filling sacks.

In filling sacks with grain, -four, ce-
ment, ETC., 1t has been found impossible
for one man to do the work. A second
laborer is required to hold open the
mouth of the bag while the other does
the filling. The necessity of the ex-
ira laborer is eliminated in the sack
filling apparatus shown here, the In
vention of Washington man. This
apparatus was designed primarily to
provide device by which bags could
be quickly and economically filed by
one man. A hopper is provided, to
which a pulley is attached at one end.
At the front are the frames for sup
porting the bags after the later have
been fastened in position. The grain

Hog Cholera.

The Kansas experiment station has
carried out an extensive series Of ex-
periments along the line Of hog chol-
era and its prevention. The method
of rendering hogs immune to the dis
ease was by vaccination. virus was
introduced into the system which re-
acted upon possible contagion, thus
protecting the animal against the dis
ease for a period Of several months.
The experiment showed that through
this process the successfully vaccinated
hog is lmmuntzed and can be kept with
no risk of infection for a period long
enough to fatten and prepare for mar
ket.

ERICSSON RELICS SHOWN
Visitors to the A.-Y.-P. Exposition May
See Interesting Historical Objects.

John Ericsson, inventor of the famous
"cheese box" Monitor, used a large
block of wood as a pillow on which to
rest his tired head after spending days
and nights in his study. The identical
block has been kept as an historical
object and is to be seen among other
things in the "JOhn EIicsson' room in
the Swedish building at the Alaska
Yukon-Paeiic exposition.
The walls of the "John Ericsson"
room are hung with pictures of the
naval officers who commanded his first
armor-clad, and there is also shown the
engraved resolutions passed by the New
York state general assembly, March 10,
1862, commencing Ericsson and the
naval officers of the Monitor for their
work.

Jail. She was accompanied by her
father, Riley Highbaugh, of Atchison,
and have now left for the latter's

She Places Blame on White Men.
1.-THE whole terrible matter came
by white men following me home and
making improper proposals to me"
declared the young wife. 1.-TWO weeks
before the killing Of Powell some
white man followed me homo from
the depot where I mad gone to see
my husband off on his run.
This man stopped me and made
improper proposals. I ran home after
telling him what 1 thought of him and
1 told my husband as soon as he came
in off his run.
"Of course it worked him all up
and he began to keep a watch for the
man. The night of the shooting my
friend from Topeka, Miss Dupree and
myself, were coming nome from up
town when a man followed US and
began to Jingle money In his pocket

Brown Refuses to Discuss Case.
Brown still refuses to make any
statement, but to his father-in-law he
said that If there was any law or
court in the land to justify a husband
in protecting his wife's honor. he
thought this was the time when the
"unwritten law should prevail.
There is some possibility that Brown
will be admitted to bail. His father
in-law, who has some property at
Atchison, has agreed to mortgage all
of his property in order to provide
bond for the young man.
