The McCorinick <u4 Shredder.
The McCormick Husker and Shredder is not a large machine, but all who buy it praise it for its great capacity.
The McCormick Shredder is a combination of cutter and shredder. It tears the fodder fine and cuts the shreds in short lengths, making a feed that is practically better than hay.
The McCormick is the pioneer machine in separating the shelled corn from the fodder, and is the only machine now on the market that effects a clean and satisfactory separation.
The McCormick is the only safe husker and shredder. the only machine with a practical device to protect the feeder from getting his hand or arm taken off by the snapping rolls.
We will only be able to get one of these machines
th'is season. First comc first served.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF PRESIDENT MCKINLEY AT BUFFALO.
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky came the shock and crash of the terrible news that President McKinley at a public reception in his honor at Buffalo had been twice shot bp an assassin who held his pistol masked by a handkerchief in one hand while the other was advanced to grasp that of the president as if in friendly greeting.
The nation stands aghast at this attempted assassinatioD of the president. The universal feeling is one of mingled horror and amazement. For of all the men in the world William McKinley would seem to have been the last that anybody would wish to kill. For he had no living enemy. Two of his predecessors were assassinated within the last thirtysix years But the slayer of Abraham Lincoln was a fanatic, frenzied by the intense passions aroused by the Civil war, who looked upon Lincoln as a tyrant and wished to avenge upon him the wrongs of the conquered South. Guitean sympathized with the Conkling faction in its quarrel with President Garfield, and the blind bitter ness of his political animosity moved him to his crazy deed of blood. But there seems to have been absolutely no motive for this attempted assassination of President McKinley. Whatever bitterness in past party controversies there may have been have passed away, and an era of good feeling is now prevailing which is largely due to the generous and conciliatory influences which emanate like a genial sunshine from the kindly personality of William Mc Kinley.
Has it come to this then, that in this land of universal freedom the life of the freely elected president of seventy-sis million freeman is no longer safe because a group of madmen and fiends who call themselves anarchists teach the horrible creed that it is their duty to assassinate the executive chiefs of all governments? It has been claimed heretofore that this diabolical doctrine was aimed only at monarchs and czars and emperors representing more or less despotic governments. But it now appears that the president of the United States is one of the selected victims of this hideous conspiracy of maniac mur derers, or at any rate of one of their number. The United States has hereto fore afforded too hospitable an asylum for tbis society of madmen who profess political assassination as the cardinal article of their social creed. Whether this man was formally delegated by them to assassinated President McKinley or not, his atieinpt was the direct result, of their teachings, and they are as responsible for it .as if they had directly ordered it. It is full time that this gang of maniacs weie taken vigorously in hand by congress and the legislatures of the several state-. It should not be necessary to wait for the overt §ct of the man who teaches assassination as a political creed. As long as he is at liberty to carry out his devilish doctrines he is a menace to society.
As we now see the president of the United States is in constant danger of his life from this secret conclave of assassins. The one thing to do with them is to hunt them down and whenever found to sentence them to perpetual imprisonment in the maniac wards of insane hospitals. The people of America owe it to themselves to purge this land of liberty of these reptiles that use the muniments of freedom to strike, at the foundation of all government. It is their first and highest duty to make the persons of their presidents secure from violepce without any other guards than the loyalty of a free people. No other guard than this wonld President McKinlep tolerate about his person. President Cleveland, in. yiew of repeated warnings of designs upon his life, thought it necessary to have the approaches to the White House protected by platoons of armed sentinels. These were promptly dismissed by President McKinley, wjo never dreamed that a peoples president of the United States needed at<y other protection than the love and loyalty of the American people. Aud he was right. Bat 110 one, much less a president. is safe from the assaults of lunatics like the anarchists The place for then* is in an unkown grave.
WORTHING BANK ROBBERY.
It Was a Neat Job and Work of Professionals.
Sometime Saturday night last, burglars effected entrance to the Farmers and Merchants bank of Worthing, eleven miles west of Canton, and blew the safe door off with nitro-glycerine. The plan and execution of this bold robbery indicates that professionals did the work. President Judd of the First National of Canton, who is also President of the Worthing bank, of which Ed. D. Lewis is Cashier, returned from Worthing Monday afternoon where he went to look over matters. He states that the robbers got inside the bank and then dug a hole through the vault wall, thus avoiding the use of explosives to reach the safe, which is of the best make and modern in every particular.. The bank windows were covered with paper to prevent detection, and thus shielded the robbers soon made a man hole in the vault wall Their is no niglit watch in the town. Once inside the vault the safe was within their reach. The modern method of safe blowing was adopted. The slight opening around the door, where it fits into the safe, was covered with putty leaving a small space on top and bottom without putty. The top opening was where the nitro-glycerine was poured in, and at the bottom a suction pump was used to draw the explosive into the safe,^ and yet the safe was considered proof against this. After a sufficient amount of explosive had been forced or drawn inside, a') fuse was lighted and the robbers went outside to wait the result. The front door of this up to date safe was blown clear off and the robbers returned to find the money exposed by their develish work. They got about $300. Cashier Lewis had put over $6,000 in currency in another part of the vault which the robbers failed to find. It wasalftcky thonght that prompted him to do this, and he says he has no reason to offer just why he did it. Since modern safes are not proof against the ingenuity of professionals, it might be a good plan to thus separate large amounts and make it impossible for burglars to get much for their trouble. Post masters and bankers may expect trouble from this gang or one of several gangs now operating in the State. These fellows will be heard from again. It wou^k seem that a large number of expert professional burglars are operniiiig in the rural districts of the northwest, leaving the more difficult ami dangerous work in large cities for winter. Postmasters and smnll bunkers should be able to secrete their money in a place that no burglar can find with explosives.
Anarchisis are opposed all government. The Buffalo assassin shot at the president of the United States, and not at William McKinley, in the light of anarchist teachings, nevertheless , it was a terrible blow at liberty. Anarchy and Anarchists cannot live under the protection of our government. Destroy the human tigers root and branch. The Herr Mosts and Emma Goldmans ought to be dead or in dark cells.
