ConBoUdated with the Columbus Times In comptny with Nicholas Miller, the writer made a trip to tha harvest field of Bert Hastings, on the Oatcrhondt and Becker farm, two miles north of David City, Friday. Mr. Hastings was catting grain with a gasoline engine and seemed to make it jibe. While it cannot be said that it was a "howling success" it was the only way that Mr. Hastings could out his grain. It required a strong four-horse team to draw the harvester over the soft ground. A 2 h. p. Olds gasoline engine furnished the motive power to do the cutting and binding. Mr. Hastings first tried a 1 h. p. air cooler but it was not sufficient to do the work. The larger engine, a water cooler, performs its part all right. The ground was so very soft in the Wheat field that Mr. Hastings had given up cutting his wheat for the time be ing, and had commenced on his oats, although they were a little green. With Mr. Hastings' ingenuity we think he will eventually succeed in getting all his grain cut in pretty good shape. The weather this week has been quite favor able. Butler County Press. There is not today between the flow ing tides of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans a more unique character than J. Mohammad Ali. This man was born a high caste Hindu. He was educated in the highest universities of his country and was prepared for the priesthood. His father was an educated man, the court physician to his Highness the Prince of Eapurthala. Coming to America to complete his education Ali became converted to the Christian re ligion and his has been a growing faith. J. Mohammed Ali "speaks the language of America fluently and in his several leotures takes for his theme the down trodden condition of his countrymen. He dresses in native costume. It is in teresting to know that Ali has been cast off by his family since he renounc ed his Hindu faith. Thus his conscience' has cost him title, social position and an unooucted fortune. He will be one of the interesting speakers at the Colum bus Chautauqua which wiU opeu Tues day afternoon, August ft. The romance of the West is fast dying away and it lives only in the plays de picting life and character during the period when we had a f rontior. Among the plays of the West which are now the fad, probably the best is "The Montana Limited," the latest production of the Kliaat &Gazzolo Amusement Company. The situations of the drama are intense ly dramatic, but they are in no sense eensational as is the rule in the ordinary Western melodrama. The scenic investi ture of the drama is of the highest order of merit, the principal scene being that of a railroad train in motion and the robbery thereof. There is abundant comedy of the wholesome sort and there is not a draggy moment throughout the play. The characters include cowboys, Indians, Mexicans, and croad agents. The play is high grade and will afford relishable entertainment for those who love the better class of drama which re lies for success upon superiority, artistry and realism. At the North Opera House, Tuesday, August 4. John Feekin narrowly escaped serious injury Saturday afternoon, while thresh ing at the M. O. Cassin farm, one mile west of Columbus. The engine had been running about two hours, when the explosion occurred, blowing the back out of the engine and scattered iron in every direction. The force of the ex plosion was very great as it blew large pieces of iron over forty feet. As this was the first time the engine had been used since being repaired, it is not known what caused the damage. Mr. Feekin was himself the engineer, and just stepped off the coal box when the explosion occurred, and was so close that be was blown under the water wag- on. ue was lmmeaiateiy laaen to uw home in east Columbus, but later it was found that he had received no serious injury, but was badly bruised about the face and arms, and although several men were working in the field, no one with the exception of Mr. Feekin receiv ed an injury. The first steam plow ever used in How ard county arrived in St. Paul last week. It will plow thirty acres a day and will be employed upon the splendid stretch of stiff clay lands which lie west of the county seat. This probably fore shadows the time when the farm plow ing will be done by a neighborhood plow, worked by a man with special skill in handling machinery. Already potato digging in some of the potato centers of Nebraska, like Beaver Crossing, in Seward county, is done by a special machine and gang of men, who get out a big crop in a day or two which would keep the old time farmer, two hired men and all the family breaking their liecks all the fall.

Kavanaugh a Betterton Platte County Argus January 1, 1906. Mrs. Frances Nelson, wife of William Nelson, who resides in south Columbus, passed away Saturday evening at eight o'clock, death resulting' from heart fail ure. Deceased had bean a patient sufferer for the past two years, and for the past six weeks had, at times, been very ill. Mrs. Nelson was born in Jack son county, Alabama, in 1839. A few years later she, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Maxwell, moved to Hamburg, Tennessee, where, in 1853, she was united in marriage to William Nelson. To this union ten ohildren were born, four of whom .are deceased Soon after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson went to Missouri, but did not remain there long, when they moved to Indiana, where they resided for twenty years. From there they c?me to Nebraska, settling in Uo lumbus, where they have resided for the past thirty-six years. Deceased was a devoted christian and waa always ready to lend a helpia? hand -to those in need, and by her kind and loving nature won many friends, who will always reverence her name. Beaidea her aged husband. she leaves several children, namely: James Nelson, Mrs. Martha Smith and John Nelson, residing in this city, Mrs. Bertha Clark of Des Moines, Iowa, and Mrs. Anna Cleveland of Edensville, Nebraska, to mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother.

The German automobile in the New York to Paris race arrived iu Paris, July -36, and wa greeted with loud oheera as it swept up the crowded boulevards to the finishing post, and escorted by a large number of automobiles. As the German car bad completed the circuit of the world at Berlin, its arrival here to day was not attended by any official ceremony. It is announced as certain that the Amarican car in the New York-to-Paris race will be sdjudged the winner owing to the noncompliance of the Ger man competitors with oertain conditions governing the race. Automobile Topics has received -a splendid photograph which shows the true sportsmanship o? the Americans in the New York to Paris race. The photograph shows the Qer- man car in a bog, far over the bub. with the big American car tugging at a tow line, trying to extricate the Germans from the difficulty. The fact that the German car was first into Paris did not give that car the race, as the Americans would win if they reached Paris within thirty days of the time of the Germans Thin was time allowed the Americans for the gain msde in America which the Thomas car sacrificed by the useless trip into Alaska and on account of th distance the Germans shipped by rail in the United States when the car was shipped from Pocatello, Idaho, to Seattle in order to catch the same steamer to Asia.
