A curious electrical phenomena oc urred the other evening during the opious rainstorm, which has been eritied by several witnesses among '•hom we may mention J. W. Fay, mployed by James McBeth, south of own: Ernest Daddow and Clarence lathews. The phenomena was that f the tires on the wheels of their uggies being aglow with electricity s they drove along, bright electric parks emitting therefrom, with lowing spots in the ground at inter als, the whole forming a wierd, fas inating and withal a rather terrify ng display of nature’s pyrotehnics, lot altogether desired.

A contest lias come out of the recent village election at Litchfielb, which will come before County Judge Angier on Monday, June 4th. It seems on the face of the returns, at the above-named election, the “drvs” won out, but the "wets” not satisfied with the returns have decided to make a contest of the matter. An interesting case will undoubtedly result. Condon, the upholsterer, has been doing some fine work in his line here. He is an artist par excellence, and the editor of this great moral house hold necessity attests this in work done by the artist on his household effects. This is not a paid advertise ment, but clearly the unadulterated truth just the same. And Troy Hale swears to it. as well as do scores of others. Just as the editor and family were passing into dreamland. Tuesday evening, they were favored with a sweet serenade by the trained voices of the ever good Presbyterian choir, who were out that beautiful evening visiting many friends with choice music. There is nothing sweeter to mortal ear than such visitations, and we care not how often we are thus favored. Dr. Long has received two tele grams from San Francifeo the past few days, the first apprising him that his daughter, Miss Hazel, was suffer ing from inflammatory rheumatism, and the second that she was rapidly recovering under the best of care. The doctor is happy over the pros pect that she will soon be able to leave that ill-fated city and may be expected here inside of a couple of weeks. Litchfield Monitor: H. W. Lang had the misfortune to lose 13 head of hogs in one day. He reports that they take suddenly ill and in fifteen minutes they are dead. Is it cholera? Can any one tell? J. B. Kisling is another heavy loser in hogs. Thurs day five of his large sows weighing 200 pounds each ana suckling pigs, seemed to go crazy very suddeulv and found their way into the creek and drowned. Other of his hogs are re ported to lie in similar condition, and it is thought they have eaten some thing poisonous. Tuesday being the first of May. the beautiful custom of arranging May baskets and presenting to friends was not forgotten in our village and m'anv were favored recipients of daint'v souvenirs of such visits. And while this was in every way commendable, many young folks took occasion on the same evening to do some un gracious hallowe'en acts, which are unquestionably out of place, even on the historic October day. Still young people will lie young people, and' their thoughtless acts should not be too severely condemmed. A letter from Walter Smith, dated at Hornbrook. Calif., April 17tli. stated they were to leave there that night for Boise, Idaho, and changing their address to that point. He says that Hornbrook is a small mountain ous town, where there is a good deal of gold mining and some ranching. It is very rough and bluffy. It is in the Sisque range and 11) miles from Hornbrook is the summit where the railroad passes over the highest point in the mountains, has a 2,000 feet raise in If) miles of grade and the railroad is as crooked as the trail of a snake in the dust. The weather he reports as fine, grass green and every thing in fine growing order, while only a few miles away can be seen the mountains covered with snow to a depth of 10 to 15 feet. The scenery lie describes as very beautiful. Walter and family expected to stop over to visit friends in Oregon a few days before going on to Idaho, and adds tiiat they are having the time of their life, with the whole family in the best of health.

It Is the kind of a conveyer or apron, such as is used on the Litchfield Manure Sp-ieader. There is no other successful endless t conveyer on the market. I ? The reason this conveyer is ahead of the “other kind” is because it gives no tronble, being always ready to load and it is the perfec tion of simplicity. Each section of this conveyer is hinged to the 4 chain so that it hangs down edgeways when passing under the machine. This is why the Litchfield conveyer is superior to other endless conveyers and to all other kinds. This is why the Litchfield ' machine is so successful in cold weather—no freezing or trouble re- 4 suiting from accumulations on the under conveyer. K Compare the endless conveyer with those conveyers that must be I returned to their original position before another load can be put on I the machine. With our conveyer, when the load is off you are 4 through. Not so with the returning kind, because in those machines I 1 you must have complicated machinery to get the conveyer back to I I its original place. This all means additional trouble, repairs and $ annoyances which should be avoided in a manure spreader wherever | possible. - :;>■* Another important point, in connection with the endless con- ■ veyer, is that it is nearly three times as long as the ordinary return S conveyer and because nearly two-thirds of it is idle when one-third of it is at work and because it does not have to run back to it’s I * original starting point. This conveyer has nearly three times the I life of the old style. fl The sections in this conveyer are so arranged that they form a ^ notched traction surface and the load cannot slip but must move at ® the conveyer moves. For simplicity, durability and ease of ODeration 4 there is nothing that compares with the Litchfield Endless Con vev I er. See it and prove this yourselves. ^onvej- g Next week please notice the explanation of our beater wheel ami I the business end of the Litchfield Spreader. 1 and I T- N». PEED. I t
