II the 16 foot harrow mentioned Is
in two sections of eight feet each con-
nected with a drawbar same as the
light harrows. This is home made

the common spike-tooth harrow sold

three harrowings with the common

The 20-foot light harrow is wood

t.of them. 1t has five sections and is
light enough draft for four horses,
and answers the purpose of harrow

A 12-foot header is capable Of har-
vesting 500 to 1000 acres, so at least
three farmers could each W a joint

should be made to do service for sew

for each, together with their teams
would furnish the equipment for har-
vesting. The binder is altogether too
expensive on the ordinary dry farm
The better method still would be to
consider the purchase of an s or 10
horse combine harvester. The writer
is informed and has every reason to-
believe that the improvements to be
made on such machines for this
year will fully meet our expectations
and furnish a means of saving at least
half the cost Of harvesting over the

a boon in store for the future of the

SHOT DOWN ON STREETS.
Former West Virginia Tax Official
Killed by Miner Who Commits
Suicide.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan Lester
Smith, aged So and married, a form
er county assessor and former presi-
dent of the Board of Equalization and
Appeals, tax adjusting body, was
killed last night on the sidewalk Ill
front of his home at Elm Grove, four
miles east of Wheeling, by Joseph
Dennis, aged IS, a coal miner. After
firing four times at his victim, three
bullets taking effect, Dennis placed
the revolver at his own temple and
fired the remaining cartridge. He
died instantly. Smith lived about hall
an hour.
Dennis blamed Smith for breaking
up his home. Dennis wife secured a
divorce from him early in December,
and Dennis removed to Bellaire, Ohio,
He made frequent threats to Kill
Smith, who refused to take them SER
iously. Yesterday morning he called
at Smiths home while Smith was
still in bed, and told his daughter to
notify Smith, that he would kill him
during the day. When Smith left his
home to 90 to his real estate Office
Dennis, who was hiding behind a
porch, ran after him and immediate
ly began firing.
The tragedy was forecast by clair
voyant of Martins Ferry, Ohio, two
weeks ago, it is said. A married
daughter of Smith visited fortune
teller and the latter told her that her
father would be shot OF his way to
work. The daughter was alarmed
and notified her father, but he dis
missed the warning with light re-
mark.

DISASTER ON THE OHIO,
steamer Strikes Pier and Sinks in
Thirty Feet of Water.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Jan. Cline
steamer Kanawha, owned by the Kan
awha Packet Company, struck pier
at Dam No. 10, about 8 miles SCUM
Of here in the Ohio River last ni'sne
and sank in 80 feet Of water.
The steamer carried 36 passengers
and n crew of as, but Capt. Grady
Berry, who landed at Meldahrs Sta.
ton. near which point the accident
occurred, expressed the hope that all
has been saved.
One report says but Al have been
accounted for up to midnight.
Since some of the rescued were tax,
on to the Ohio side and others Landed
IN this side of the river it was I'M
nossible last night, however, to check
nm the list of passengers and crew.
Seven residents Of Washington, d.
G. boarded the steamer when she
loft The Wheeling wharf at 5 o'clock
Yesterday morning bound for Char
lesion, w. Va,
Thew were Mr.. and Mrs. W. l.. Hob
litzell. ST., Mr.. and Mrs. W. l.. Hoolt-
zell jr., and infant daughter and Mr.
and Mrs. E. W. Edgarton.
The Edgartons were married here
Docouber 81. Mrs. Edgarton was
formerly Miss Elnora K. Allen
Among the rescued was R. N. beav-
er. of Racine, Ohio, who, with ms
wife and three other women were
dragged from the water and taken TO
a nearby farmhouse.
According to a telephone message
received here, Beaver said that a
lifeboat containing about fifteen per-
sons got away from the packet before
she sank and was rowed to the ONO
side of the river. He is quoted as
saving that when the Kanawha set
tied. dozen persons were standing
ON the roof in three feet OF water.
Whether any of these succeeded IN
reaching the shore has not been as
ccrtained here.
The place where the packet sank IS
near a sparsely settled territory, and
because Of the bad condition OF the
road and bad wire communication 1t
was impossible to get complete details
tonight.
Capt. Berry said that after the COL
lision the boat continued down the
river for some distance before it
sank. 1t then turned over on its
side, he said, and floated as far as
Lamps Landing, which is s miles be-
low the dam. He said there was
much excitement among the passen-
gers.
The crew, after the collision,
launched the lifeboats, and the res
cue Of passengers continued all the
way from the dam to the point where
the boat finally turned over. Capt.
Berry said that when the collision
first occurred all the passengers rush
ed to the upper deck and stayed on
the boat until they were taken off.
y The Kanawha left Pittsburgh for
Charleston, w. Va, Tuesday after
noon with DO passengers and about
45 tons of miscellaneous freight. A

The boat was one Of the oldest in
the service, having been on this run
for fifteen years. The boat was built
