DID STRIKE
PRESSCRovE'S STOCK

1t must be conceded that if con-
mercial winds ever developed into a
veritable cyclone this was actually
demonstrated last Saturday. 1t had
been fo~recasted, and literally an
nounced, that the cyclone would strike
Pressgrove's store Saturday morning
at nine o'clock. Just a few minutes
before nine o'clock, the pressure of
the trade winds became so intensive
that the doors could not resist the
pressure any longer, and open they
few. In an instant the aisles leading
to the various departments through.
out the building became congested
with humanity representing. every
phase of human existence, eager to
supply their varied needs.
Hundreds upon top of hundreds
thronged the store from morning an
til late in the night. There was not
a moments cessation of the intensity
of the trade storm, and from u
the Pressgroves are to be
congratulated and the public should
tender them a vote of appreciation
for having so materially reduced the
cost of what the people needed. The
cyclone will pass into history as a
instead of a calamity to
our people. The closing stages of
the cyclone is set for Saturday.

Tommy came down the stretch on his

apart and used it's best features TO make n
better one-the car given to the govern
ent.
m Until Duryea proved the history of his
model, Elwood Haynes was popularity
given credit for making the first appear
ance in an American car. Haynes planned
his invention and had it built in 1894
and on these grounds he claimed the title
of the father of the American automobile.
Gottfried Schooner, of Milwaukee, is
still in the competition for the title. He
sets FORTH for the beneGt of all whom IL
may concern, IN n sworn affidavit that he
built an automobile in 1890 and ran it on
the streets of Milwaukee in 1892. Here is
ono instance where priority narrows down
To months. Duryea ran his car in 1892
and Schooner claims to have run his in
the same year, but Schooner gives no
month and it is not definitely known
whether he can prove the exact history OF
his machine. A Texas man also writes that
he produced n self-propellng vehicle in
1890, but details and absolute proof are
lacking. In view of the facts as they are
generally known now, il anybody deserves
to be called the Columbus, or Washington,
or the Daniel Boone of the American auto
mobile, it is Duryea.
DURYEA'S CAREER.
From his boyhood on an Illinois farm,
Charles Duryea was Interested IN me-
chanics. A description of a bicycle in
popular scientific magazine led him TO
make the first bicycle he had ever seen.
When he had TO write graduation thesis
at school he chose rapid transit, and de-
scrihed the near approach of the horseless
carriage and air transportation. Shortly
after leaving school he went to the city to
work for bicycle company. He became
licensed steam engineer and he built gas
engines. He was intensely interested-in
everything that pertained to mechanics,
motors and engines, and finally he was
ready to sift and apply what he had learn

cd to his favorite dream, the horscless car
riage
For his first attempt he used n carriage
body and concentrated his efforts on his
motor.s He experimental secretly In an
upstairs workroom. Even when his ma
chine was ready for trial run he hcsitated
to take il on the street for fear of frighten-
ing horses and so antagonizng the public.
Finally, he brought his model downstairs
, in an elevator and made his final tests on n
vacant lot. Even there people came TO
cape and protest, but when he started the
engine the sudden splitting and chuggng
of the motor sent the crowd flying IN
terror.
People became accustomed TO the phe-
nomenon Of the horseless vehicle slowly.
II took Duryea two years to sell 13 cars
when he started out TO popularize his IN
vention Yet he says that his first com
mercial demonstratien machine, the third
model he made, never once. had TO be
towed. A few times it broke down with an
inexperienced driver, but in such cases one
of his assistants or Duryea himself came
10 the rescue, and after a little tinkering
the automobile of 1894 would start chug-
ging and roll off in triumph.
THE Frnsr RACE.
In 1896 Duryea sent n car to England
to take part in one of the oldest races in
automobile history. Up TO that time Eng
land had had iaw prohibiting a motor
vehicle to run on the common roads unless
q man walked before il waving red alag
This law kept England from making any
progress with automobile inventions, while
France, Germany and the United States
were steadily producing swifter and more
reliable models
In 1896, when England repealed the
law, celebration was held to show what
strides wcr~ being made III rapid transit.
Automobiles from different countries were
sent to London for a demonstration race
from London 70 Brighton-52 miles. The
