1t is generally known that Mr.
Bcccher has Il farm but its success
has never been published. Mark
Twain has the following to say con
corning Il recent visit to the rever-
end gentlcman's piggery
Mr.. Becchcr's farm consists of
thirty-six acres and is carried on OH
strict scientific principles. He
never puts in any part Of a crop
without consulting his book. He
plovs, and reaps, ana digs, and
sows according to the best authori-
ties-aud the authorities cost,
more than the other farming i'm
PIGMENTS do. As soon as the Ii
brary i, complete the farm will be
gin to be ii profitable investment.
But book farming has its draw
backs. Upon one occasion, when
1t seemed morally certain that the
hay ought to be cut, the hay book
could not be found, and before it
was found it was too late, and the
hay was all spoiled. Mr.. Beecher
raises some of the finest crops of
wheat in the country, but the un-
favorable difference between the
cost Of production and its market
value after it is produced has inter
fcred considerably with its success
as a commercial enterprise. His
special weakness is hog, However.
He considers hog the best game a
farm produces. He buys the orig
inal pig for $3.50 feeds him $40
worth Of corn, and then sell for 50.
This is the only crop he ever
makes any money on. He loses
on the corn, but makes $3.50 on
the hog. He does not mind this
because he never expects to make
anything on corn anyway. And
anyway it turns out he has the eX
element ofraisingthe hog anyhow,
whether he gets the worth of him
or not. His strawberries would
be a comfortable success if the rob
ms would eat turnips, but they
won't, and hence the difficulty.

Journal: Reliable advices from all over the
district show that while the noisy political
strikers with whom money is great argu-
ment have been largely won over to Gil
fillan, there is a large silent vote that will
be cast dead against him. The Republican
voter who has made up his mind, for con-
science sake, to rebuke disreputable and out
rageous political methods does not go shout
ing around the streets, but he does go to the
polls quietly and plumps in his ballot in a
way TO make it tell. These voters will beat
Mr.. Gilfillan as surely as the sun will rise on
election day.
Duluth Journal: The faetional squabble in
the Fourth district among the Republicans is
growing more bitter with each day. 1t looks
as if Gilfllan could not possibly carry Hen
nepin and Washington counties; in which
event Merriman, the Democratic nominee,
gets elected.

AS matter of course Tom Lowry is
Judge young man. He is at the head of a
gigantic monopoly. He is at the head of
corporation, which, in all probability will
have many cases to come before the district
court, and Tom Lowry is a particularly
shrewd business man, and inyariable works
for the election of the candidate whose offi-
cial career will best advance Tom Lowry's
personal aud business interests. In the nom
mating convention he hurried to second that
motion made by Honest john" so called,
that the convention first nominate a candi-
date, (meaning Judge Young, and then
confer with the Democrats upon their propo-
shon to unite upon a non-partisan candi-
date. Tom. Lowry should be proud of such
a record. 1t was not only gross and un-
warranted insult to the Democracy, but a
fragrant insult to the bar of Hennepin

few nights ago. His haunts were invaded
by the officers of the law. The premises
were searched by authority emonating from

were the booty, the ginger ale having been re-
turned. But the whole premises were not
examined The Nymph of Bacchus placed
her fair form in front of the holy of holies,
and forbade the officers of the law to cross her
threshold. The officers like the
old home guards obeyed and the
sparkling wine was spared. The
trial will take place on the 4th inst.

OWATONNA.

Especial Correspondence of the Globe.
OwAToNNA, Oct. 23.-On Sunday even
ing, the 18th inst, the fire alarm was again
sounded in our little city and called out our
fire department for the fifth time in little
more than week to this time witness the
burning of the large barn of the Nickerson
house, which was entirely consumed in
very few minutes after the alarm was given.
when the fire was discovered the flames were
issuing from the upper part of the
barn. Fortunately but one team was
in at the time aud they were
at once run out the back way. With the
barn were burned two set of single harness,
and a set of double harness, fine two-horse
sleigh, quite quantity of oats, corn and
hay. Total loss estimated at 81, 200, on which
there was no insurance.
On Monday about p. m. the fire alarm
was again sounded, this time to little blaze
in the old house of c. H. Randall, which was
undergoing repairs, and by some means a
fire caught from stove the workmen had
in the building. But the fire
was quickly extinguished without
doing very much damage. This is the
building which caught fire twice in one day
about ten days ago, aud the boys say if it
fires up again it may go-they have run quite
enough for the old trap for the present.
This morning, several of our citizens on
the west side of the river were considerably
stirred up by the discovery that during the
night some one had been in their barns rum
aging about, and their alarm was increased,
when a little later it was discovered that the
team of Mr.. Scoyille, who was stopping over
night with II. ". Brown on the west side
had been stolen---horses, harness and buggy
and were not to be found. II was soor dis
covered that before the parties who took the
team. left, they entered the wagon shops of
c. Schoen, and stole some tools which they
used TO let themselves into the saloon OF
Gauser, from which they ere frightened by
the clerk coming in after an hours absence
about u O'Clock From there they went 10
the barn of A. c. Guttson on the west side.
and into his cellar also. from
which they missed nothing, however.
Thence they went 10 the barn of Lewis Lord.
where they broke open two stable doors that
were fastened inside and stole an old over
| coat Mr. Lord had 4 very fine team in the
barn. which it is thought they were prevented
| from taking by the dog, who made consider
! able noise. They were also in the barns OF
Fred Mudeking, Adam Simpson and Rob
Rosekranz, and st the latter place ran a car.
riage out into the yard. This morning Mr..
Scoyille sent kilograms in all directions with 3
/ descriptions of the team, and 1 have lust

Mr.. Foster explained that the report was
not absolutely correct as to the cements
advanced for mains, which could not be ex-
actly ascertained. The report was adopted.
A contract for laying a main on Division
street, east side, was awarded to John Glea-
son at 34% cents per foot.
The superintendent reported that some ac-
ton was necessary to prevent the freezing up
of sprinkling hvdrants. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on extensions to
confer with the committee from the council
as to the advisability of shutting off these
hydrants.
The request of the Minneapolis mills to
have part of the water shut off for few
hours to enable them to build weir at the
mouth of the tunnel was referred to
the superintendent and engineer.
Engineer Waters reported 1872 Adams ~
Schobert on their contract for furnishing
pipe, and a warrant was drawn for that
amount.
Commissioner Foote moved that the engi-
neer be instructed to furnish at the next
meeting an estimate of all the pipe ordered
laid for the year 1885, each size separate, to-
gether with the number of hydrants, gates,
number Of pounds of lead, special castings
and other material needed. Adopted.
The board then went into executive ses-
sion after adopting a resolution to adjourn
to November 6.
