JUDGE GROSSCUP
MAY HAVE AN EYE
ON SENATE SEAT
Report Brought Here That
He Seeks Cullom's
Toga.

That Judge Peter 8. Grosscup. OF Chi
cago, who has announced his purpose
to resign about October 1. is really aim
ing for the Senate Of the United States,
Is the story brought to Washington by
men in close touch with the political
situation in Chicago and Illinois.
It is said Judge Grosscup has his
eye on the the succession to Senator
Shelby NJ. Cullom. In Illinois. there is
a strong demand that Senator Cullom
shall not be a candidate TO succeed him.
self. He is now eighty-two years old
and his term will not end until 1913.
Many of his former friends are insist
ing It is about time for him, in view
of his feeble health to quit.
Judge Grosscup has intimated a pur-
pose to take a hand in politics, and
this tends to confirm the report brought
here, that he has an eye out for Gull
loms place. It also Is pointed out that
Lorimer may be ousted from the Senate,
and thus leave a vacancy which Judge
Grosscup may seek to fill.

HALLIDAY IS SAVED
BY LOADING DEVICE
OF FURNITURE FIRM
Speedier Deliveries Possible
by New Contrivance of
Moses & Sons.

saving OF half q day for each
delivery day Of eight hours mas recently
been effected at the furniture store Of
w. B. Moses & Sons by the installment
of loading nest" for the delivery Of
all kinds of furniture. The idea is new
in Washington, and Wanamaker's
store. In New York, is the only other
in the United States that employs q
similar system.
The idea Of applying the nest" sys-
tenn to the loading Of furniture on the
big automobile vans of the Moses COM
pany originated with A. c. Moses, OF
that firm, and was carried into practice
largely through the efforts OF C. r.
Woltz. a foreman In the packing depart
ment.
Aid to Efficiency.
Heretofore the efficiency of the large
automobile vans has been destroyed
owing to the long time required to
properly pack the furniture for deliv-
cry.
Formerly when the big machines ar
rived at the furniture house for work
at o'clock in the morning. 1t was
necessary to take two hours to prop
erly load them. By the Application o.
and the first load Of properly packed
furniture can leave the packing rooms
at few minutes after o'clock, and
nearly two hours of time is saved for
every load during the day.
The nest" simply Is a big wagon box
which sets upon a track on running
gear of a truck. The box Is Just the
size of the inside of the covered vans
and the truck is exactly the height OF
the van floor, when the van is backed
against the curb. The first load Of fur
niture, weighing three tons, Is packed
the night before, and In the morning
the truck is pulled from the building tC
the curb, placed at the back OF the van
the load, box and all, Is showed Into the
van, and the truck is removed for Its
next load. This operation requires moi
quite three minutes.
Description of NEST"
The nest used by the Moses firm Is
thirteen feet long. is seven feet wide
and over six feet high, and slips nicely
into the large vans. 1t holds, when
properly loaded. over 5000 pounds OF
goods.
When the vans first were shown to
an engineer for perfection, he said that
they were impractical, and could not
make them. Finally a firm in Hanover
Pa. took the contract to make them
and II is an assured fact that the load
ing nest Is a practical machine.
Two Of them are used by the Moses
firm at present. and more will be IN
stalled as the demand grows.

A Mechanical Orchestra.

Percy Jones. proprietor of Jones'
Cafe, and one of the most hustling
business men in Hickman, received
a self-playing combination piano and
orchestra last Friday. and has it in
stalled in his cafe.
This wonderful combination of must
cal instruments is composed of a pi-
ano, violin, flute mandolin and trap
drums, and renders as charming mus
ic as any orchestra. Such instru-
ments can scarcely be found outside
of the larger cities. and it takes a
man with just about Percy's push
and nerve to invest 81 400 in such
a proposition in a town of less than
10000 people.
The mechanism of this mechanical
orchestra is driven by electricity, and
a nickel in the slot starts the music.
Percy is certainly putting on metro
politan airs.
