Sunday evening the Topeka men ex-

time to destroy the camp of the Nation

However, the camp was well planted
and only a mess tent and few Sibleys
of the two batteries were blown down.
Monday the men were soaked by
heavy rains. The soft ground made

impossible.
Three days of target practice and

new MACHINE OUT
Only Combined Harvester
Thresher i'm State at Meade.
CutS and ThreSheS-OnIy Four
Men Are Needed.

Meade, Kan, July 20.-There is
now in operation in Meade county the
only combined Observation-Disclosures IN
the state of Kansas. This machine is
owned and operated by the Loewen
Bros. who live about four miles south
east of this city, and was shipped from
a factory in California.
This machine cuts a swathe twenty
feet wide on the same principle as
header and the cut grain is elevated
into the thresher instead of into
barge, where it goes through the same
operation of threShing as in the reSu-
lar threShing machine, the straw ana
chaff being scattered upon the ground
from the rear The wheat is delivered
into a wagon which is pulled along
by being hooked to an arm extending
from the side.
This gigantic machine is pulled by
a thirty horse power gas tractor, and
an average of 40 acres is being cut ana
threShed a day, with a crew OF only
four men and one team being useo 10
haul the loaded wagon to the granary.
The power to run the thresher is sup
piled by two large wheels upon Wnlcn
the thresher is balanced.
With the use of this machine, which
cost about $4,000, there is great
saving in time and expense, as when
a field is gone over all the work is
done except marketing the wheat, and
it saves the hiring of several men and
teams Besides saves lots of the grain
which would otherwise be lost by be-
ing handled several times.
People for many miles around have
made special trips to see the big har-
vester-thresher at work, and it is
creating a great deal of interest
among the other farmers, who see in
this machine a very quick and econo-
mical method of handling their i'm
mense wheat crops and next harvest
may see several of them at work in
different parts of the county.

WOULDN'T SLEEP WITH SNAKE.
Harvest Hand Finds Big Reptile in
His Bed-Has Nervous Breakdown.

Wichita, Kan, July 2O.-A big
python that escaped from the Brun
dage show at Lawrence during storm
that blew over the tent and cage in
which the snake was confined is still
at large and is creating a panic among
the harvest hands. Numerous pigs,
chickens and other small stock have
been taken by the reptile and the theft
has until recently been credited to the
harvest hands in the neighborhood.
Enoch Chase, a hand who has been
working here for several days, woke
up one night and found the snake in
his bed under a header barge. The
python is about a foot thick and
twelve or fifteen feet long. The man
was so badly scared by finding such
a large snake in his sleeping quarters
that he is suffering from nervous pros
tration Searching parties have been
organized and an attempt will be made
to capture or kill the big python.
Although men who are familiar with
this kind of snake say that it will not
attack a man, the harvest hands re-
fuse to sleep in the open. None of
them like the idea of having him for
a bedfe1Iow even though he is harm
less.

The club has appointed a special
committee to take the matter up with

that is unavailing to appeal to the

a building at this school was later
