Three masked men entered the out
going express car Oh the Chicago, Alton
& st. Louis railroad last night as the train
stopped at the Burlington crossing. They
hastily over owered the express messen-
ger and baggage man and went through
the safe, which contained about twenty
five thousand dollars in valuables, but in
their hurry they did the work so bung-
lingly that they left behind all except a
package for Springfield, ILL.,, containing
about one hundred and forty-three dol
lars and some drafts for collection. Three
men have been arrested, charged with
the robbery.

A Yankee Trick,

Just before the Declaration of hide
pendence a Yankee peddler started down
to New York to sell lot of bowls and
dishes he had made of maple. Jonathan
travelled over the city, asking everybody
to buy his wares, but no one was disposed
to purchase.
1t happened that a British fleet was
then lying III the harbor of New York
and Jonathan struck upon plan of
selling his dishes. He got naval uni
form by hook or by crook (for history
doesen't tell where he got it,, and strut
ing up town one morning asked a mer-
chant if he had any nice woodenware,
as the Commodore wanted lot for the
feet.
The merchant replied that he had
none on hand, but there was some in
town, and if he would send in the after
noon he would supply him with pleas
ure.
g Very good, . said our naval officer, 90
will cali"
Jonathan now cut for home bv the
shortest route, and he had scarcely DOTTED
bis borrowed plumage before down came
the merchant, who, seeing that Jonathan
had sold none of his wares, offered to
take the whole if he would deduct Is
per cent, but Jonathan said he would be
whirled round point of crags and be
gol-darned if he didn't take fem home
before he'd take cent less than his first
price.
The merchant finally paid him down
in gold his price for the woodenware,
which laid on his shelves for many long
day thereafter, and Jonathan t1otted
home in high glee at the success Of his
maneuver, while the merchant cursed
British officers ever after.-PhiladeIphia

How to Save Glover Seed.

One of our best clover seed savers is
just at our elbow, and he says: "Tell
them the second crop is for the seed, and
is really fit for no other purpose, as it
salivates the stock fed on it; that the
best time to cut for seed is a very nice
point to determine. 1t should be cut
when majority of the heads turn
brown, and before any begin to shed off
the little seed pods, each of which con-
tains seed. Cut the second crop of
clover just as though it were for hay,
rake it into windows and let it lie and
take one or two showers; then put it into
very small cocks while damp, about one
good pitchfork full in place, and when
lit is dry put into stacks and cap with
something that will turn water; or what
is still better, if you have shed or barn,
put it there and let it remain until YOU
can get huller to take it out for YOU.
| There are hullers enough now in the
state to hull all the seed needed for
home use, and the owners of the hullers
are willing and anxious to 90 to any Sec
ton where work can be had Let our
farmers save all the clover seed they can,
and thus help to make thousands of dol
lars for the state, now sent out each
year for clover seed to sow.-RwoI Sun.

Relies of the Rosebud Tragedy,
A correspondent writing from Sittin
Bulls retreat, saws:

A correspondent writing from Sitting
Bulls retreat, says:
The belts and cartridge boxes of the
slaughtered troops of Uncle Sam were
retained as mementoes that would be
useful. Almost every brave wore one of
Uncle Sans belts slung around him,
through which were thrust revolvers of
all patterns, from the silver-mounted
pocket companion to the heavy navy.
These were all trophies of the blood
stained fields of the Yellowstone country.
and. though in most instances cartridges
were wanting, still they carried them as
trophies, believing they would be re-
deemed by the friends of the former
owners. My friend said he saw beauti-
fully mounted pistol, of an English pat
tern, which an Indian brave had, but
declined to part with, stating that he in
tended to keep it until the friends of its
dead owner would redeem it. Engraved
on the stock was the name of q Miles
w. keogh, Seventh United States
Cavalry" A great many trophies were
sold for mere nothing, and, strange to
say, that which was the least valuable
often brought a high price, just as the
Indian priced it. Some of the troops of
the mounted police purchased consider
able in the way of known relics with the
view of forwarding them to the friends
of the deceased owners. The grotesque
appearance which some of Sitting Bulls
warriors make in the coats and hats of
dead United States soldiers whom they
have shot, scalped and mutilated is not
easy to describe. Once the Indian puts
the coat on him, he does not let it 90
until it drops off. Some of the uniforms
were blood-stained. Occasionally one
would be seen with an officers tunic,
cavalry sabre, sans pantaloons, but plus
the usual breech clout.

AT ten o'clock yesterday forenoon a
man who looked as if he would dare to
do right if he had half chance, entered
an oyster house ON Michigan avenue and

! Chinese Temple i'm Nevada.

From the Virginia City Enterprise.
The present Chinese joss house in this
city is more deliberately fitted up than
any ever before opened here. 1t stands
ON II street, one or two doors north of
Deming's store, and is in the second
story of frame building. The entrance
to this temple of the heather is sheltered
by rude portico, and is reached by
short flight of stairs. The doors stand
open. Through them, shining dimly
through the daylight, are seen the
candles burning on the altar "Outside
barbarians' may freely enter.
Ascending the steps of the stairs, we
are met by the odor of burning sandal
wood from the altar, mingled with that
of the smoke of Chinese tobacco from the
pipes of the loungers under the portico
and in the doctors shop next door to
the entrance to the temple. No worship
! pers are before the altar; none in the
temple. A sleepy-looking Chinaman sits
in the doorway that leads into the
apothecary shop, whose business it APP
pears to be to attend to the candles,
/ tiaring and huttering the life out of
themselves on the altar, in the vain at
tempt to make the grim gods that sit be-
hind look lovable.
The boss god' of the JOSS house is
q bearded like the pard," and occupies
the first place behind the altar. A little
! in his rear are seated two other gods,
/ grimvisaged and cast III bronze. Ali
about the trio are peacock feathers in
what resemble exaggerated bouquet
holders. A world of tinsel things are
under, over, and around the pipes oc-
cupied by the feathers. Beside the
three gods behind the altar are seen two
figures in inches like little cupboards on
each side. That on the left hand is
Chey Sun, the " rich man. or rather the
god of wealth. This image is richly az
rayed in silken garments and profusely
adorned with jewelry. To him the poor

is not large enough to make it profitable
to grow from one to two acres or more of
carrots, mangel wurtzels. etc If they
have not been grown this season, by all
means purchase some. If the markets
are carefully noted, it is often possible
to buy comparatively large lots at very
moderate figures. He who goes without
them deprives his stock of something
they really need, besides not realizing the
same amount of value from the food con-
sumed that would be obtained if few
roots were regularly fed, to tone the
system and keep the animals sound and
healthy.
In storing roots for winter feeding,
never use the house cellar for the pur-
pose, for the smell which will continually
arise from them and pervade the entire
house will not only be unpleasant, but
may lead to sickness. A barn cellar is
the most appropriate place, though we
have kept large quantities out Of doors,
in mounds made for that purpose. We
select a high piece of ground, on which
We put a light sprinkling of straw; on
this the heap of roots is put, say about
fifty bushels in a heap, after first care
fully removing the tops or leaves. After
the pile has been nicely rounded up,
spread light covering of straw on them
and then put on the earth or soil care
fully to the depth of six or eight inches,
first making ''chimney" at the extreme
top, with a wisp of straw placed upright
to afford ventilation. By taking the soil
from Immediately around the pile, fol-
covering the roots, better drainage i:
afforded, and they are kept free from wet
or dampness. After the soil has all beer
put on which is necessary, go over the
heap and pat it down nicely with tn,
back of the spade, to make it shed tn,
rain without washing away any, or bu
little. In this way we have kept carrots
beets, parsnips, turnips and mango
wurtzels the entire winter. We Away
took one heap at time, when wanted fo
use, and conveyed all to the barn, to
dark place free from frost. When thi
lot was used up, we tackled another heal
n the same way.
If roots are placed in a light and airy
place, they will soon shrivel up or rot
and lose much of their value as stock
feed. After the heap has been finished
and pressed down with the spade, it is 9
good plan to cover it with few inches
of old straw or fresh litte1 from the
stable, which will prevent heavy rains
from washing the earth down. A better
substance is long rye straw placed
around the mound and tied at the top, as
this will she'd most of the rain, and il
drainage is properly provided for, nc
trouble need be apprehended.- Cor

Roots have become a necessity with
