No subject is at present Of such absorb.
ing interest to the people Of the Missouri

kota than that of irrigation or some other
substitute for rain. The successive dry
seasons have forced the people Of the
northwest to look about for some means
whereby the wheat crop may be made a
certainty, ana tits gratifying to have so
practical and intelligent an agriculturist
as II. +. Forkert Of LaMoure county come
to the front with q suggestion. Mr.. For
kert has been making experiments in SOW
ing wheat in drills two and one-half feet
apart and this season he raised over forty
bushels per acre in wheat so sown while
beside it on better soil wheat sown in the
ordinary way yielded less than five bushels
per acre. Mr.. Forkert said:
s.There is no doubt Of the success Of the
experiment and hope that every farmer
in North Dakota will make the experiment
next year, knowing as do that It will
bring about the most satisfactory results.
The wheat should be sown In drills about
two and one-half feet apart so that it can

should be used per acre, and the grain
should be s0Wn from two and One-haH to
three inches deep, and spread four inches

The F,remen Again victoriour,
from Thursday's Daily.l

[From Thursdays Daily.l
Another contest between fire and the
Bismarck department was witnessed last
evening, and as usual the department.
was an easy winner. The fire broke out in
the frame building owned by the Rev. j..
NJ. Anderson on Third street in the rear of
his brick block. The first to give the
alarm was Frank Kihm. who was called
out by a man who winked at him and said: /:
Come, I want to show you something"
Much to Kihm's amazement the man
pointed complacently at fire among the
old papers and boxes thrown into the alley
from Phelps art store. Kihm gave the
alarm and in good season the firemen had
three streams playing upon the flames
which before their arrival had envelopea
the frame building. The good work of the
firemen and the immense supply of water
soon extinguished the blaze, but not with
out a stubborn fight did the flames under
the roof succumb. The building is prob
ably damaged $500. Photographer judi
kins, whose gallery occupies the upper
story, suffers the greatest loss, nearly all Of
his negatives having been destroyed. He
estimates his loss on negatives alone at
81, 900. He had no insurance, having failed
to renew his policy, which expired several
months ago. a
Among the liyeliest gentlemen in the
city were Frank Kihm, John Whalen and
=. ID. Phelps: the latter executing as lively
as one could wish to witness Mr.. Whalen
removed number Of boxes Of goods to the
sidewalk and cast hurried glance at q
Northern Pacific guide, upon which Taco.
ma was given prOmine ence, and Kihm gazed
painfully at the handsome Improvements
he recently made in his restaurant. There
were few moments that their property
soon allayed by the work of the firemen.
The pressure from the water works was
excellent and the hose companies did
splendid work. The chemical" also sus-
tanned its reputation, getting the first
stream on the fire.
ANOTHER CALL.
At 1890 p. m. another alarm was given
and the department was called to the house
of Mrs. Plunkett, south of the track. Not
withstanding the promptness with which
the firemen responded, the house was en-
veloped in flames before their arrival.
Much to the surprise of the crowd of
spectators the frame of the building was
saved. Considerable excitement was caused
by the report that Mrs. Plunkett was in the
building, but it was learned that she was at
the home of Michael Francis. One of the
episodes of the fire was the meeting of
Owen Farley and Tom Cox. Owen had
been insisting that Cox was the incendiary
who started the fire. Cox overheard the
accusation and exclaimed: .Phats that We
say" Owen then made the charge direct,
Whereupon Cox landed a 'sleft-hander" on
Owens face, and the scene ended.

Nicotine ,yhims of stot.sme..

Senator Hampton has y queer habit.
He does not chew or smoke to any cx-
tent, but he is fond of pinching off
sections of fine cigar, powdering it
in his hand and shutting it, He will
sit in the cloak room where he can
see the presidents desk and snuff
cigars for an hour at q time.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, also
has nicotine fad. 1t is to indulge in
dry smoke" That is, he keeps an
unsmoked or half smoked cigar in his
mouth all the time.
Gen. Samuel Thomas, Of the Brice-
Thomas Seney syndicate got into this
habit as compromise between smok-
ing and not smoking, and tho result
was a surgical operation to remove a
tumor like growth that appeared ON
his lips just at the place where he al
ways held his unlighted cigar. The
doctors told him to either smoke or let
the whole thing alone, but not to carry
an unlighted cigar in his MOUTH

How tn. Husband Cav. It Away.

Hero is another good smuggling
story from the Belgian frontier: A
newly married couple were returning
to Germany after a tour to Brussels.
As the train approached the frontier
the bride grew uneasy and presently
confessed that she had n quantity Of
the finest of Brussels lace In her bag,
on which high duty would have to
be paid. Put it inside your hat, )" she
pleaded This was done. The CUSTOM
house officials looked all through the
boxes of tho elegant young lady,
knowing by experience that such are
the most daring of smugglers, but
found nothing. The chief officer,
charmed by the amiable manners Of
the husband, accompanied the couple
to tho train, when the wretched hus-
band, forgetting his secret in tho Joy
of having escaped, raised his hat to
the officer and was instantly cnveloped
in a soft white veil. Tableau Pail

Drawing Room Innovati ons.

1t has always been the practice alb
solutely to forbid the attendance at
drawing rooms of ladies who had
been divorced, although from no fault
of their own. This was q Draconian
regulation to which there could be no
exception. The queen, however, sew
eral years ago very sensibly came to
tho conclusion that lady whose con-
duct had been blameless ought not to
be excluded from court because she
had divorced her husband on account
of his misdeeds. The matter was
brought before the cabinet, but some
high church statesmen (notably Mr..
Gladstone and Lord Selborne) were
Mortified at the suggested innovation,
and the thing dropped. The question
has since, however, been revived, and
the result is that n lady who has di-
vorced her husband may go to court
after she has received special permits
sion. Every application goes before the
queen herself, and her majesty de-
cides each case on its merits. i ,ondon

stored and Forgotten.

There is nothing suggestive of ro-
nance about the interior OF an old
fashioned storage warehouse, but If all
the household things in the musty,
Slated, cell like rooms could tell their
histories to story writer, he would
have material enough TO last him sew
eral lifetimes. Perhaps that sofa
packed On top of two barrels of crock
cry couldn't tell you how its rotund
bosom palpitated with jealousy when
Bella's young man got SO familiar
that he ventured, after much gen.
tie protestation on Bella's part, to
let his arm steal around her belt, and
maybe that hat rack in the corner
doesn't remember the scenes in the hall
when Bella gave the happy fellow good
night Perhaps in the adjoining COM
partment, you may find Bella's and
her husbands own worldly goods, that
she was compelled to put away after
he abandoned her, or after they found
out that housekeeping was a failure
and decided to go TO boarding.
A Sun reporter went through one Of
these old style warehouses the other
day and looked at some of the things
that sixty or more people had left
there and failed to pay the storage on.
The proprietor said some of the things
had been there for fifteen years. He
has advertised the sale by auction of
all goods on which no charges had
been paid for a year.
All sorts of people are i'll the list Of
those whose goods will be sold If they
don't come around and pay up. Gen.
A. L. Lee, a wealthy gentleman who is
now in Paris, has had case of orna-
mental things in the warehouse since
1887. He has probably forgotten all
about them, or doesn't want them.
Adah Richmond, the actress, is on the
list. She left the articles Mt the ware
house when she broke up housekeep-
ing here some years ago. Some of the
abandoned furniture belonged to hus
bands and wives who fell out and
couldn't find q way to make up again.
Some belonged to widows who were
compelled to give up housekeeping be-
cause unable to pay to continue it,
and some TO folks who were suddenly
called away to fields of labor in other
parts of tho world New York Sun.

The Royal Widows of Europe.

There never were, think, so many
royal widows in the regal circles OF
Europe in existence at ono time as
there are at present. Beginning with
Queen Victoria, the Empress Eugene
and the two German expresses, Au-
gusta and Victoria, there are now
Queen Christina of Spain, the Ouch
ess OF Albany and, latest of all, the
Grand Duchess Stephanie, whose aunt,
the mad Empress Carlotta of Mexico,
has never put on widows weeds, as
she is in daily expectation of the arri-
val at her present home of the Emper-
or Macmillan. What a brilliant des-
tiny that unfortunate prince threw
away when he left the charming
shades of Miramus to run after the
will-o'-the-wisp grandeurs of vision
airy empire in the new world. He would
have been now, by the death of his
nephew, Prince Rudolph, tho heir to
the Austrian throne, and popular and
beloved as he was, he would have been
rapturously hailed as the future en-
peror by the nations under tho sway
of Austria. Napoleon III did bis most
fatal work when he lured the intelli-
&tDl, LILO
conjugal hG'",iness and the brilliant
possibilities Of his future, TO work out
his own sinister designs, which were
not for the agc randizement Of the un-
fortunate archduke, nor even for the
regularization of French claims
in Mexico, but which we're sim

tho United States. II have carved
you an empire out of a block of
silver" was tho remark of Napoleon
to MaXimilian when the latter came to
take leave of him. 1t was not an en-
pirc but sarcophagus that tho crown
ed Mephistopheles had followed out
for his luclSless guest, and not from a

Why Fires Burn brightly in Winter.

There are several reasons why % fire
burns so brightly in frosty weather.
First, the air being cold is denser and
the heated air and gases from the fire
are comparatively more buoyant.
Consequently there is % greater
draught. Then the air being denser
contains more oxygen in an equal vol
ume, and that gas being quickly sup
piled, the combustion is fiercer and
more perfect In frosty weather, too,
the atmosphere is comparatively free
from moisture, which of course has a
tendency to damp a fire.-New York
