PRESENTED WITH A WATCH.
J. M. Alexander Receives a Gift from the
MethodUt Sunday School.
Sunday was ingathering day at the
Methodist church, and the targe num
br present showed that the members
of tlie $alAath school had boen work
ing faithrully to make the day a euc
cuss. It was decididly eo, and pawtU
off very nloely. One of the features
was the ineseittatinn of a handsome
l$ild wati'h to Superin'tend.-nt J. M.
Alexander. Hesrfdes being Ingutherintt
day. tt was the lifty-flfih anniversary
of Mr. Alexander's birth, and the thir-ty-tifth
anniversary of the battle of
Chapin's farm, in whieh llr. Alexan
der fought. A special plvgramme
which had been pn pared was carried
through most suocessfully. and after
It was tinlfhed Uev. U. A. Place made
the presentation In behalf of the scho.il.
IMr. Alsxander was completely taken
by surprise, but expressed his thanks
in the most hearty manner. .Mr. Alex
andtrs manner expressed as plainly
as his- words his appreciation of the
gift- His superintendency has extend
ed over a period of thlrty-elg-ht years.

number at Sunday school who were at

AF1EK A PATENT.
John J Kennedy" Invention a Very
PrncticHl and Ist-ful Article.
Yesterday mornlnft John J. Kennedy,
of the Arm of Collins & Kennedy, left
for Washington, 1. C, while he will
make application for a patent on an In
vention of his. This Invention Is very
practical and useful and will probably
leward Mr. Collins' efforts richly.
The invention Is applied to wagons
nnd carriages and is meant to oil or
grease the axles. This Job, when done
by hand, is very troublesome and dirty
and necessitates a considerable amount
of patience on the part of the operator.
Mr. Collins proposes to do away with
nil this trouble and will guarantee to
keep the wheel greased without tuklns
It oif the axle. Any one who has any
thing to do with rarrlases will see the
usefulness 'f the device at once. A lit
tle oil cup is one of the features. The
oil cup la placed In a hollow hub or
r.poke arranged for the purpose. The
cup is air-tight, so there Is no fear of
dust entering. In the center of the
cup Is a pump with three valves and so
fixed that when the pump is worked the
oil is forced onto the axle. This is all
there Is to It, nnd a single stroke of
the plunger Is all that Is necessary to oil
a wheel.
The invention can also be used to
oil any bearings which work on sta
tionary Journals.
WKLCK IN THE YARD.
A P.I under Stops Trn flic on the Hond for
Some 'lime.
A large force of men were busily en
gaged In clearing a wreck from the
Krie tracks In the yards. The wreck
was a bad one and so many cars piled
up that cars could neither be brought
in or taken out. The accident was
caused by an engine going through an
open switch which had been left open
by some careless person.
The wreck occurred early yesterday
morning. Conductor Dillon was making
up a train preparatory to going up
the line. The engine, in charge of En
gineer ethlefeldt. had backed some cars
down on track No. 2 and was running
back Into the yard again. The sn itch
was open at the time, but the engineer
failed to notice It and went off the
end. After leaving the rails the ties
wer torn and damaged considerably
by the locomotive running over them.
It ran nearly forty feet before it
stopped.
Th locomotive nearly tipped over
on Its side and It was very fortunate
that it did not completely overturn, as
It went over many obstructions and
was nearly turned around and headed
lu the opposite direction.

IN THE FOUND.
Fourteen Cows Are Found Mourning About
the Streets.
The number of cows, sheep and other
stray animals which have been seen on
the streets lately has been very great,
but the record has been completely
snowed under, when fourteen cows, the
result of one haul, were placed in the
pound.
The large numberof animals upon tne
street can be readily seen when within
the past two months 2.10 cattle and three
stray sheep have been Impounded. It
is probable that some of the owners of
those found will tind themselves de
fendants in a suit for damages.

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish t assure their many jmU
rons thiit they will this yenr hold to their usual custom
of milling SI RICTLY OLD WHKAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, anil
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers ar
of the opinion thttt it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will taka
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully thre
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haa
placed Witthburn-Cro.sby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
