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

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,

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. State Journal.
Platte county will go before the state

man who is especially fitted for the posi
tion, being a large shipper and familiar
with the needs of the patrons of the
roads. Aa president of the Columbus

to be the right man for the place, and

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.
