GENERAL DESCKIPIION.

The share is divided into tiro parts, the point or nose being separated from th» wing or catting blade. Each part is bolted direct to the standard. This permits the removal Of the nose, which wears out quickest, without disturbing the wing, •ice verse—a matertal caving in the cost of repairs.

Both nose and wing are equal-sided, or reversible. As soon as either parti becomes worn rounded on the bottom, it is turned over, bringing the selt-sharpenea upper edge to tho bottom ot the lurrow, and the process of alternately rounding up the lower and sharpening the upper edge of the part repeated, until it is worn back to its bearings. During this process the edges can be kept at all times as sharp as when first put on, hence the Plow holds to the ground as well and draws as ligbt witk partly worn as with new shares, while the immense| saving in the cost of^re* pairs must be obvious to every practical farmer.

Fatal Attempt to Produce Abortion. The coroner yesterday held an inque&t over the remains ot Mrs. Annie Stoops, ot Ceuterville, Pierson township, who was found dead on the floor ot the house. Robert N. Stoops, he husband, testified: "We have been married eight years, and have lived together during that time, and have resided in CenterviUe since December 4tb, 1883. I lett home on the morning of July 23d, about 6 o'clock. At the time the deceased was in good health. She has never had any serious illness of any kind since we were married. She never at any time in my presence threat* ened to take her life, ana I never told any person she had made such a threat. We always lived together on very good terms. I never had any serious quarrel with her. I always provided for my family the best I eould. We had three children. About three of four weeks ago the deceased told me she was pregnant. At that tine she wanted me to get her some medicine to produce an abortion bat 1 refused to do it. Afterwards she told me she had procured some medicine of Dr. Stocks, bat did not use it."

Dr. Stock8 testified that the deceased called to see him, told him she had taken cold, and wanted medicine. He |prescribed for her. She afterwards sent a note to him telling him she wanted medicine that would relieve her ot the trouble caused by the cold, and wanted "no more fooling about it." He afterwards learned that she was pregnant, fle gave her no medicine that would produce an abortion.

Dre. Kennedy and Grimes testified that death was caused by an attempt at abortion. From the position of the body and the surrounding circumstances they were of the opinion that she had made the at* tempt in a manner she told her husband she would do.

Conclusion of the Prohibitionists Convention.

Political Notes-

THE PROHIBITIONISTS.

A Prohibition National Ticket Nominated ami a State Ticket In Indiana. President: John P. S*. John, of Kansas.

Vice President:, Wm. Daniel, of Maryland. After nominating ex-Govenor John P. St. John, ot Kansas, lor President, and adopting the pialfotm, both of which were given in the GAZETTE of yesterday, the Prohibition Nstioual contention at Pittsburg completed its labors by selecting Wm. Daniel, ot Maryland, tor vicepresident. After a spirited debate the name was ch&ngt-d from "The Prohibition Home Protection Parly" to the simpler form of "The Prohibition Party." Some time was spent in an amusing effort on the part ot the fina ce committee to raise a campaign tund. The plan adopted was to issue a certificate of stock in what is called the "Pioneer battle fund of the National Prohibition party," the holder of each share pledging himself to pay ten dollars a year to the fund, the dividends tobe payable in heaven. Mr. Christian, of Chicago, acted as an auctioneer broHer, and by his amusing remarks crjoled the delegates from various states to subscribe for from one to fifty shares each the whole number of shares tat en aggregating about 400.

St. John Accepts.

FIITSBDBO, July 25.—J. L. Li'tle, of Newark, N. J., received the following telegram this morning from JEx-Governor Sf. John:

ROCHESTER, N. Y., July 35.

To Hon. John B. Finch, Geo. R. Scott or M. B. fi. Bennett: I was at Lakeside yesterday and did not receive your telegram until thia morning. While I did not seek or desire the nomination, I greatly appreciate the unanimity with which it was given, as well as the honor it confered. 1 can only say now that I acquisce in the action of the convention ana Jooking to God for His guidance shall iry to do my duly. (Sighed.) JOHX ST. JOHN.

PLEDGING SUPPORT.

LEAVENWOHTH, KS. July 25 —The fallowing telegram was sent to Gov. St. John To-day and may be of interest coming from the lead in a temperance organization in his own state:

LEAVER WOETH, July 25, 18S4. The Women's Christian Temperance Union of Kansas congratulates Gov. Sr. John upon his nomination for President of the United States. May God bless »nd lead to vi tory the man who has btopd by the home. [Signed] LAURA B. FIELDS, President of the Kansas W. C.T. U.

Hoosier Prohibitionists.

Supt. Pub Inst: Byland T. Brown, Marion Co. Indiana Pabbibitionists met at Kng lishs* Opera Honse, Indianapolis, yesterday. The convention was called to order by Mr. E. Shiel. E. F. Ritter presided.

A communication was received from the anti-state ticket convention salting for a conference which request was at first laid on the table, but this action was subsequently reconsidered and a conference committee appointed. Nothing was accomplished, however, by the inference.

A ticket was then nominated is above, the state central committee being in structed to name the candidates for attorney general and presidential electors. A strong platform, substantially the same as that ot the naiional prohibition platform, was adopted. The convention was lar. and enthusiastic.

At the same time that this convention was being held, another wing ot the party, made up of Republican prohibi. tionists, who wish to support the Repub lican ticket, held a convention at Dixon'! Opera House. The attendance at the morning session was small and in the afternoon "it had dwindled,': according to the Indianapolis News' report, "to a score or two of gentlemen and about dozen ladies." Dr. J. D. Mitchell, of this city was in attendance oo this convention. An effort was made to come to some agreement with the straight out convention but when this failed there was little left to do. A platform advocating prohibition was adopted and the determination was reached to organize a constitutional amendment association, the object of which is to secure the election of members of the legislature who will vote for a constitutional convention.

THRESHING WHEAT.

Actual Yields From the Wheat Fields South of the City—What Threshiag Costs.

C. V. Overman's steam threader haa been at work for a week past south ot the city and the following are the actual yields

E. Pitman's field of 105 acres yielded 967 bushels or a little over nine and twottnths bushels per acre.

A. F. Girton'a 0ft acres yielded 600 bushels or ten bushels per acre. Jesse Clark's 20 acre field produced 196buahels or nine and eight tentha bushels per acre.

Theodore Hulmao's field of 125 aores yielded 1,200 bushels, or nine and sixtenths bushels per acre.

Lyman Durham's wheat has not yet all been threahed but will run pretty well.

The above yields are very light, but are better thun expected. Jt ia also known tnat for the most part wheat south of the city suffered more daring the winter than that in the townahipa and counties north.

The steam thresher goes through a wheat field at lightning speed. The Overman macnine has averaged but SO bushels less than 1,000 per day for some time. The price is 4c per bushel. The owner ot tne macnine furnishes two feeders, an engineer and a man and team to haul water. The rest of the force, about tweuty in number, are furnished by the farmer whose wheat is being threshed. Counting these men at $1.50 per day the cost to thresh 1,000 bushels of wheat is— 1,000 bushels at 4o 25 men (extra) at $1.50

Total.

This is nearly etebt cents and if the yield is only 600 or 700 bushels it will amount to more than thia per bushel as. it ia paid to calculate on the fractions of a day for the extra men. In addition to the above meals are fur. nisbed, so that getting one's wheat threshed is not an inexpensive operation by any means.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A Party of Indianapolis People Caiight In a Storm at Broad Ripple. Indianapolis Sentinel: Several parties from this city went to Broad Ripple yesteiday on a picnic excursion. A storm came up nbout two o'clock in the afternoon and a party ot sixteen young ladie and gentlemen from the Northena sough shelter in a house that has lately been erected to accommodate dancers. A heavy wind passed over it and the roof wa9 giving way. Before they could escape, however, a large tree was blown down, and falling upon the foof, crushed it in upon the party. Miss Gertrude Perkins, of College avenue, was seriously hurt, receiving internal injuries and lying ic an unconscious condition for severu hours. Fred Adams, of Plum street, was also seriously injured. Waiter Purcell, Nettie Dikson and Nellie] Vettaz were considerably scratch«d and bruised, but not seriously hurt

About the same time Mr. and Mrs. Horace Comstock, who were in a buggy, near the scene of the accident *o the picnic party, saw the approaching storm and alighted from the buggy. The horse had just been unhitched from the vehicle when a tree was blown across it, totally wrecking it and catching Mr. Comstock in the branches. Mrs. Comstock was blown a distance of twenty feet, and remained unconscious for an hour from the effects of the fall.
