has many warm friends here, made
during school days and in the
years of his school work at this

sincerely hope to learn, later, of
his success in attaining his desires
in that direction.
Practically all of the important

On Errand of Mercy.

The following concerning Rev.
w. 7. Ferguson, former pastor of
the M. E. church, who visited here
a couple of days last week, is from
the Carterville Herald.
Rev W. T. Ferguson who was
pastor of the M. f. church in this
city four years ago, but who is now
at Gregory, South Dakota, where he
is still preaching the gospel, was in
Carterville yesterday from noon
till 7 p. m, He said he would like
to call at each home in Cartcrville
where he was acquainted but his
time was too brief, but he shook
hands with just as many as he
could in the short time he was limi-
ted to.
"F1is mission was to bring three
orphan children, two girls and a
boy aged S, 7 and s years to the
Mother Jewel orphan home at
York. Neb. Their father was dead
and their mother sick and not able
to care for them Brother Fergu-
son said the little ones cried when
he left them but said they would
be perfectly willing to stay if he
would stay with them.
Then he had three boys about
IS years old, were foreigners, and
had no work to keep them at
Gregory, SO he brought them to
Fremont, Neb., where they could
get employment. Then last he
brought boy, son of well to
do merchant in Gregory, who had
gone astray and seemed past doing
anything for and his father, exas-
perated by his willfulness and
wrong doings, had decided to place
him in the reform School. Rev
Ferguson heard'of it and realizing
the everlasting stigma it woult
place on the boy, asked his father
to send him to college instead
The father gladly consented to this
and the man whose heart is toe
big for his body brought him alons
and placed him in the Marionville
Collegiate Institution.
REV. Ferguson has gained 2:
pounds since he left Carterville anc
says his wife and son, Marion, who
had both been delicate for years
are getting strong and robust. Ev

Wheel Marx Of Cix,iii<afion
So Says Charles e. Duryea in Discussing the Impor
lance of Bearings.
A. TECHNICAL EXPERT. AMERICAN MOTOR CAR MANI
FACTURERs' ASSOCIATION.
BIZ CHARLES z. DURrEA.

The wheel Is the insignia OF civilization
The barbarian does not use wheels, and the
higher the civilization the more wheels are
tc be found. With practically every wheel
some form OF journal or bearing for It's
axis must be provided. and whether this
bearing turns easily or with difficulty is a
matter OF considerable importance. This
Importance was best recognized by the
public when they hegan TO use the bicycle.
and 1t Is TO the bicycle that we owe the
now almost universal use of ball and roller
bearings in all types of machinery where
a saving of power is a matter of impor-
lance.
In the motor vehicle as constructed to-
day we ind three general types of bear
inss, viz: the plain. which has been known
and used for ages past; the roller and the
ball bearing. both OF which. although long
known, have only in recent years been
produced sufficiently cheap and good to
warrant general adoption.
In early mill work both shaft and bearing
box were frequently OF wood. and the same
condition was found in the veticle practice
Homer tells US of brazen chariot wheels,
and that such existed two or three thou

into contact and start them eutttng with
great increase OF friction, which must b
avoided at all basards by the Designers
Plain bearings are. therefore. restricted
almost wholly 70 structures like the engine
shaft, where the bearings can De long and
close together ard the engine ease ~
frame quite rigid which insures the per-
feet working condition
In other PAGES. like the transmission ana
differential gear cases and the wheels. bail
or roller bearings are usually given pref
erence.
In these forms the bearing box - larger.
and between IL and the shaft lie rollers or
balls which serve as wheels for the shafs
to ron on. and which prevent that sliding
OF one metal upon another that causes tho
objectionable friction As TO choice between
the two forms there Is little to say Each
BAH has but point OF contact. while each
roller has a line Of contact. and on this ae-
count roller bearings will carry larger
loads than viii ball bearings But the RON
ers must be kept parallel TO the shaft. or
they will not roll property. while the bah.
being round IN every direction. needs No
such care On this account there Is much
division OF opinion as 70 which is the better
bearing but in general the roller - given
preference for heavy work and the BAH tor
light work
