Entered as second-class matter
Nov 7 1903 at the post office at
Ames Oklahoma under the Act
of Congress of March 3 1879
The President's recommenda-
tion of the Whipping-post in his
annual message to Congress has
excited wide comment pro and con
front all parts of the country
So much has been done by senti-
mental persons to alleviate what
are called the sufferings of pris-
oners that punishment no longer
has restrictive severity The
jails have become second class
hotels while the brutal prisoner
is frequently better kept and bet-
ter ciired for than when he is at
larg a?d when his imprisonment
is enlivened by Sowers billet
doux of condolence from sloppy
sentimental women there can be
no doubt that he has an incentive
to crime It is notorous that
tramps and loafers frequently
commit petty offences especially
during the winter season in order
that he may get into one of these
second class hotels called a jail
and e assured of a warm room
a good bd and three meals a
day Statistics show that during
the past four years over 30000
minders were committed in the
United States and it is calculated
that these exceeded the losses of
the British fcrmy during the Boer
War It s also known that in no
other country are there so many
murders as in the U S and so
many lesser crimes Something
should certainly be done to
abate these conditions and it may
be that the lash laid on the back
of the offender and the introduc-
tion of other old time punish-
ments is the best solution Mor-
al suasion public schools and
other so-called reformative forces
have had a pretty fair trial
A Novel Machine
One That Threatens to Revolutionize
Threshing to be Tested Here"
A michine that is a curiosity
has just arrived from St Louis
where It has been on exhibition
in machinery hall at the World’s
Fair£! It is what is termed a non-
cylinder1 “Self -feeding self-stacking
automatic threshing-machine
and if it will db what it is claimed
to do it will completely revolu-
tionize the method of threshing
and put the present separator out
of business
There is no cylinder in this
machine The straw is fed into
a chamber where it is handled by
a high pressure of air or wind
produced by fans In this cham-
ber the heat and straw are car-
ried out bi the chamber through
a pipe into an upper chamber
where the centrifugal force is so
great tii&t'the wheat is thrown to
the outef edge of the cylinder and
from there drops into a pipe that
conduces it intp a wagon or what-
ever thjere is to receive it while
the straw passes out through the
stacker
While the machine was on ex-
hibition at the World’s Fair in
order to demonstrate its separat-
ing ability1 bundles of wheat that
had been soaked for hours in a
yatof Water were run through
the faaehlne and every grain of
' wheat taken out of the straw
Davis and Lehenbauer the pat-
entees 'of the machine live at
Ames in Woods County The
‘ machine was taken off the train
here at Blackwell to give it a
thorough test A company has
been organized’ to manufacture
the machine and in the course of
a few days a number of St Louis
capitalists will be here to witness
the test1 at which time wheat al
falfa and other grains will be
threshed with this machine
It is said that this machine can
be sold for half the price of a
"separator and that it doesn’t re-
quire half as much power to run
it — Blackwell News

Family Killed By Gasoline
Explosion
Particulars of the horrible acci-
dent at Hooker Beaver County
by which five persons were burned
to death are as follows:
Aiden Heffele a section boss
in the employ of the Rock Island
Railroad came home from his
work about six o’clock and went
to the store where he always
traded to purchase a can of kero-
sene That store was out of oil
so Mr Heffele went to another
store and handed the clerk his
can The establishment used
gasoline lamps and the clerk
without inquiring what his custo-
mer wanted filled the can with
gasoline Thinking he had pro-
cured kerosene Mr Heffele went
home and it is supposed that they
filled the lamp with the gasoline
and on lighting it caused the ex-
plosion However it may be the explo-
sion was caused in some other
way As the husband the only
surviving member of the family
is unable to speak the true facts
canqot be ascertained The fam-
ily consisted of three children
and the father and mother The
children were injured so that they
died shortly after the accident oc-
curred The mother died Mon-
day morning at 1 o’clock At
that time the father was still alive
but there was noi hope for his re-
