The telephone central was changod
Tuesday night from the residence of
Dr. Kearns to the new headquarters,
the cable taken from the former and
placed in the latter, all between 10
p. m. and 6 a. m.. thus not interfer
ing in the least with the working of
the various lines. Mr. J. C. Beaver,
the genial telephone expert of St.
Paul was the presiding genius, and
hustled the work through in good
shape. He commenced about 10
o'clock Tuesday and got everything
in order for the change at night, and
Wednesday morning found everything
completed and in good running order.
He finished the work and returned
home by the noon train yesterday.
Dr. Kearns, in retiring from the
management of the telephone central
desires The Northwestern to ex
press for him his heartfelt thanks to
our people for the excellent treat
ment accorded him during the past
four years of his management of that
important station. Not only have
they upheld him with their sympathy
and moral support., but in a financial
way, though he has transacted thous
ands of dollars’ of business with the
public, he has not lost one cent
through their agency, but every
farthing has been paid cheerfully and
willingly, and he retires from the
central with most gratefel remem
brance of the kindness and courtesy
tccorded him by each and everv one.
He will now devote himself to the
practice of his profession, making for
the present office practice a specialty,
as will be noticed by his card else
where in our columns. It would be
useless for us to try and add a good
word for Dr. Kearns in his profession
al line, as our people are well ac
quainted. with him as a physician,
and one and all, without exception,
give him unstinted praise as one of
the most successful practitioners ever
in our city. We wish him success
unmeasured in all ways.
Nearly Fatal Accident.
On last Saturday, while Harry
Taylor was working with the W. T.
Gibson bridge gang on a new bridge
some three miles south of Litchfield,
the guy ropes holding the pile driver,
upon which Harry was standing,
became disarranged and loosened in
some way, allowing the frame to fall,
striking the structure and throwing
the unfortunate young man into the
creek fourteen feet below, striking the
bridge in his fall breaking his right
leg between knee and thigh, injuring
one ankle, and cutting gashes in his
head and face and landing him in
about four feet of water, from which
he was rescued by others. A physician
was called, who found his injuries as
stated and attended his suflerings. He
is being cared for at the home of our
good friend Henry Capellan, where lie
is receiving the best of attention and
noursing. Harry’s many friends will
deeply sympathize with him in his
terrible misfortune.

f The facts are, this machine lias been reduced to a scientific basis
I in applying the power for distributing the load. The manufacturers
■ have done away witli the old-fashioned plan of driving one part of I
H the machine from one wheel and another part from the other wheel.
K It has been demonstrated thoroughly that both traction wheels
on a spreader should be so arranged that they will eacli do an equal
proportion of the work. The Litchfield Spreader takes all the power
from both traction wheels direct to one large gear and rfom this gear I
the work of moving the load and operating the beater wheel is dis
tributed in proportion to the requirements. i i
Listen, only half the traction or that coming from the left wheel
is applied to the axle. The right traction wheel applies its work
direct to the large gear independent of the axle. Note that the axle
therefore has only half the twisting strain which other machines
apply to it where both traction wheels drive through the axle.
Just compare this with those machines that drive the beater '
wheel with one traction wheel and drive the conveyer witli another
This puts from TO to 90 per cent of the load on to the beater wheel
side. Plainly this is a faulty construction and is what vou do not
find in the Litchfield maeliine. J uo noL
