100 yards from the fire on account of gas. A
great many men were prostrated from the
effects of gasses last night and were removed
to their homes. The most skilled mining ensi-
neers have been on the ground sll day and are
now trying to smother the fire by closing mp
all openings, thereby cutting off all air. Fail
ing in this they will try to extinguish the fire
by forcing powerful body of steam in the
workings. Pipes for this purpose are now
being laid. Experienced miners say nothing
will overcome the fire but water. This, how
ever, will be the last resort owing to the many
disadvantages and tremendous cost.

JAN Breaking at Minneapolis.

The Jail at Minneapolis has had several ir-
regular releases of prisoners. The latest oc-
curred yesterday about II A. M, when William
Scott and Steven Golden got hold of crowbar,
which was carelessly left standing where they
could reach it through the bars. The jailor
was temporarily absent and it didn't take the
two men long to wrench out a bar, squeeze
through and mako their escape. The Jail is
being repaired and once out of the cage there
was nothing to stop them. Probably the
crowbar was placed within their reach
by some workman, but it may have
been conveyed to them by some confederate.
The opening through which they crowded was
only seven and one-half inches in diameter and
was fourteen feet above the gronnd. Scott was
in for burglary. He is described as 2S years of
age, dark compIexioned, black eyes and black
hair, five feet eight inches in height. Golden
was in for larceny. He is 2S years old, light
complexioned, brown hair, blue eyes. and

miles above Pembina Monday morning. The fire
was discovered at clock, and in fifteen min
utes the boat was totally consumed. The boat
at the time had sixteen passengers, and was
towing two barges. one loaded with freight,
and the other with wood. The rapidity Of the
flames gave the passengers barely time to
get on the freight barge and save them
selves, the majority of them loosing
all except what they had on. The fire origin
ated in the laundry room, and was caused by
the carelessness of a girl who kindled the fire.
All the freight on the boat. valued at $500, and
the wood barge was consumed. The steamer
vas built in 1872, and the loss is estimated at
$4,000.

fact that the former neglected
to visit him as English did with
Hancock. Garfield delayed
writing his letter of acceptance
for some time, expecting that
Arthur would call on him and
that they would thus be able to
confer on some of the points in
it. Instead of this Arthur
writes to Garfield that his law
business will prenent his paying
a call, and Immediately after
starts out on a fishing expedition

tunately confined his sentiments

WHAT THE BIRDS ACCOMPLISH
The swallow, swift and night
hawk are the guardians of the
atmosphere. They check the
increase of insects that would
otherwise overload it. Wood
peckers, creepers and chicka-
dees are the guardians of the
trunks of trees. Warblers and
fly catchers protect the foliage.
Blackbirds, crows, thrushes and
larks protect the surface OF the
soil. Snipe and woodcock pro-
tect the soil under the surface.
Each tribe has its duty to per-
form in the economy of nature;
and it is an undoubted fact that
if the birds were all swept off
the face of the earth, man bould
not live upon it, vegetation
would wither. and die; insects
would become so numerous that
no living thing could withstand
their attacks. The wholesale
destruction occasioned by grass
hoppers, which have lately de-
wasted the west, is undoubtedly
caused by the thinning out Of
the birds; such as grouse, prairie
hens, etc. which feed upon them.
The great and inestimable ser
vice done the farmer, gardner
and florist by the birds is only
becoming known by sad expe-
rience. Spare the birds and
save your fruit ; the little corn
and fruit taken by them is more
than compensation by the guam
titles of noxious insects they
destroy. The long prosecuted
crow has been found by actual
experience to do far more good
by the vast Quantities of grubs
and insects he devours than the
little harm he does in the few
grains of corn he pulls up. He
is one OF the farmers best
friends.

CLEANING UP.-A few hours
of work by the farmer, his boys
and hired help devoted to clean
ing up about the house, cellers
and outhouses, will make every
thing trim, neat and healthful.
THERE'S always plenty of time,
even at the busy season ofplow-
ing and seeding for this neces-
sary and identifying work.
This work is more important
than most farmers seem to think.
1t should be done even at a con-
siderable cost of time. Our
own plan is to devote rainy days
and odd hours which often come
to hand during the season to it.
One Of the rainy days recently
we gathered up all the old
brooms about the place and set
all the hands to sweeping down
the dust and cobwebs in the
stables and the next day of the
same sort we find on our hands,
we shall give them a coat of
whitewash in which a little cor
bolic acid has been mixed.

How rs rBE COTTON 70 ne

How IS THE CorToN TO BE
GATHERED?-This is a perpleX-
ing question TO the farmers of
Texas. The following, from
the Tyler Courier; will apply to
every county in Texas: There
is not working force in Smith
county to pick over one-half
the cotton crop. Those who
have large fields ofcotton ought
to be looking out for labor. 1t
is the right time to start a boom
for Texas with people who live
in other states. Smith county
can furnish all work at good
wages and plenty of land to cul-
tivate." With plenty of corn
and meat, and everything to live
on, what a favorable prospect is
held out to immigrants.
