engine, the first one of its kind to be
set up in Minnesota, and while it
represents an investment of nearly
ten thousand dollars, the small cost
of operating it will soon make it the
cheapest power known, next to wat
er power. The manufacturers are
backing their claim that in order to
do given amount of work at same
cost as the Diesel, the ordinary nom
condensing engine would have to get
coal laid down at 80 cents per ton
or 62 cents per ton for the more
economical condensing engine.
The crude oil consumed by the
engine is not exploded as in a gaso-
line motor. The engine is equipped
with air-compressor which stores the
air in steel tank to a temperature
above the firing point of the fuel,
which fuel is blown as cloud of
vapor into the cylinder when COM
preston has been completed. The
makers claim that the engine can
never fail to ignite and that the
temperature of the gases is much
lower than with engiues of the ex-
plosive type.
While the exhaust from the engine
is pretty noisy, the crank shaft is
enclosedsin oil and practically every
bearing in the ponderous machine is
fabricated automatically and runs
noiselessly. 1t is a great creator of
cheap power, and when the water
runs low, Mr.. Burmeister will not
worry about his coal bill absorbing
the profits of his electric system.
Two or three dollars worth of crude
oil will furnish as much power as
eight or ten times that amount spent
in making steam.

A LUCKY BREAKDOWN.
While Mr.. Gull Was WhirIing on Shaft
of Mill, Big Belt Broke.

Nothing but the providential
breaking of a belt saved Jas. c. Gull
of this city from a horrible death
last Friday. Mr.. Gull was at his
work at Burmeister's mill when he
saw one of the large belts driving
the machinery slip off, and though
he had been warned to call for help
in such cases, he endeavored to re-
place the belt unaided and was
caught by the arm and whirled about
the shaft, his arm striking some OBJ
struction, breaking his left arm in
two places, the force Of the contact
breaking the belt and thus stopping
the shaft from turning and hurting
Mr.. Gull to further mutilation. He
was at first reported as having hope
lessly crushed his left arm, but the
local physicians found that the COM
pound fracture of the fore arm and
another break above the elbow,
while bad enough at best, left room
for hope of the ultimate use of the
member. His family could poorly
afford the disabling of its provider
and head. The member of the or
der of United Workmen and others
are giving temporary aid and we do
not believe that either Mr.. Gull or
his family will be allowed to lack for
proper surgical care or the necessi-
ties of life.

# ARMER KILLED
NEAR BELVIEW
Auto Leaves Road, Strikes a Ditch
Embankment, Hurting VIM.
Hagen to Ills Death.

: A sad automobile accident oc-
Cured west of Belview last Saturday
afternoon, wherein VIM. Hagen of
Belview lost his life. Mr.. Hagen
accompanied Robert Leonard and
Frank Davis to Seaforth, where the
latter's mother and brothers reside.
Mr.. Hagen and Mr., Leonard were
in the automobile on the return to
Belview. and when about three miles
from town, on what is known as the
village grade, Mr.. Leonard says the
steering apparatus refused to work
and the auto ran into the ditch, strik-
ing the embankment and turning a
complete somersault, fracturing Mr..
Hagen's skull and breaking his right
leg, causing instant death.
Mr.. Leonard, although badly
bruised, managed to run three
fourths Of mile to VIM. Pederson's,
where telephone message was sent
to town for doctor and other help.
DIR. Aldrieh and Louis Leonard hur-
ried to the scene and found VIM.
Bonner had arrived ahead of them
from a near by farm house. A hur-
Nried examination showed that Mr..
Hagen probably died instantly. Men
were directed to take the body to
the village hall in Belview, while
DR.. Aldrich hurried to VIM. Peder-
sons, where Mr.. Leonard remained
after telephoning for help. An ex-
animation of Mr.. Leonard's injuries
was made and it was ascertained
that aside from being badly bruised
on the head and shoulders, he was
externally all right. He was taken
home, where he, is now resting fair
ly well, and if no internal injury has
been sustained he will be about
again in few days.
The automobile was quite badly
wrecked, but was brought to town
by its own power. Willard Simpson
having gone out and viewed the
wreck on Sunday, found it would
run and ran it into town.
VIM. Hagen was popular farmer

at the Lutheran church on Tuesday
and the interment was in the German
Lutheran cemetery in Sheridan
township, where rests his mother.
The whole community extends heart

tives and hopes that time may as

can heal.

in mechanical operations as we are on
the farm. The trouble with popular
education is that it has lost sight Of
this. The professions and the bust
ness life have been the goals which
the students in our more advanced
schools have been encouraged to
aim at. The equally great rewards
of mechanical occupations have been
lost sight of. There are, for in
stance, bricklayers merely working
on the walls of the high school now
in course of construction in North
field who earn daily wage which
clerks, bookkeepers and teachers
rarely get and which the average
professional man does not attain.
These men are merely Journeymen
mechanics. The wages paid to men
in the building trades capable of
laying out work and giving direc-
lions to others is much greater. In
telligence and education in mechan-
ical pursuits count just as much as it
does elsewhere.
But the dignity Of this kind of la
Dor and the rewards it brings are
not the kind of subjects teachers
would be inclined to enlarge upon.
Too many of US, indeed, are inclined
to commiserate the condition of the
man whose hands are hardened by
toll and who wears overalls. If it
were up to us to point to children an
example to be followed, would not
the most of us select rather the man
who had achieved some measure of
success in a position which permit
ted him to clothe himself in purple
and fine raiment and keep his hands
soft and clean? Really, however, it
IS the man who produces things who
is entitled to the greater credit and
whose labor has on that account the
greater dignity. Moreover, men
who can do productive work are the
most needed. The demand today is
far greater for wood and metal
workers, for workers in stone and
in brick, than it is for accountants,
for doctors or for lawyers.
