SNOW IN THE WEST.

Three Feet on the Level in Montana
 Traffic BlOckaded.
 RED LODGE, Mont, Oct. 2.-It has been showing and drifting necessarily for the last forty-eight hours. There are three feet of snow on the level. Business is practically at a standstill, and traffic is blocked. Advices last night showed that rain was falling all over North Dakota, with snow in the western part, and a cold wave coming from Montana. The situs- ton in the harvest fields of that state is thus made more serious. Thrashing out fits have been sent out free by the Great Northern and twenty more are promised to-day. Fifty thousand bushels of wheat remain unthrashed in the state and are in danger of being destroyed by the wet weather.

THE TRIO VISIT GARDEN STREET.

After thoroughly ransacking the house on Whalley avenue the burglars were next heard from at 15 Garden street. Here they entered the house of Councilman Nc Donald while he and his wife were. absent driving and pursued the same tactics as at the former house. Their summons not being answered, one of the men went around to the back part of the house and secured an entrance by means of the back door. He then opened the front door and admitted his confederate and the two then went through the house and succeeded in obtaining SIS in money, gold watch, | some silverware, lockets, bracelets, scarf pins, etc. They would doubtless have ob- | tained more booty but from the fact that little Oracle McDonald, returning from school shortly after o'clock and entering | the house, found the men at work. One | of the men, hearing her enter the house,
 seized heavy chair and held it aloft as if 4 to strike the child. The child, who is only about eleven years of age, screamed and
 the miscreants at once made their escape.
 The value of the property taken from MT.
 McDonald's is estimated at about $200.
 The matter was at once placed in the
 hands of the authorities, and several clues,
 which may lead up to the arrests of the
 miscreants, are now being followed up.
 One of the clues is based upon the pecu-
 liar actions of a woman who, it is thought,
 is associated with the men and whose &C.,
 tions while the burglary was taking place
 on Whalley avenue were of 6 more thar
 usually suspicious nature.

TWO DAKING BURGLARIEs.

Houses on Whalley Avenue and Gar.
 den Street Entered by Thieves Early
 Yesterday Afternoon During the
 Absence of the Occupants-The Bur
 glars Escape.
 Professional burglars again made their appearance in the city yesterday and oper- ated quite extensively in the western sec- ton of the city during the afternoon. The party consisted of two men and woman, who is supposed to be connected with them, and their operations, as far as has been ascertained, were confined to Whalley avenue and Garden street.
 Their modus operandi was to ring at a doorbell and inquire for some pc rson of a fictitious name, and upon learning that some occupant was in the house, would 1 immediately leave and try the same tactics elsewhere, until they came to house where no response was made to the pulling of the doorbell. In each case the mis- | creants selected houses in which they | thought no one was at home.
 The first house visited by the burglars was that of Mrs. Harriet Strickland, at 413 1 Whalley avenue, where they inquired for a MT. West, but learning that someone was in the house they immediately took their departure. From here they went to the house at the corner of Winthrop and Whalley avenues occupied by Mrs. Cor nelia Morse and MT. and Mrs. G. Burr Leavenworth. Here the men became satisfied, owing to the fact that their summons were unanswered, that no one was in the house, and at once ef- fected an entrance and commenced opera tions. An entrance was effected into the kitchen by means of window opening on a porch on Winthrop avenue. After ob- l taining entrance into the house they ran sacked the bureau and drawers and trunks and extracted from them anything of value which they could conveniently carry away with them.
 Upon the return of the two families the fact that the house had beenf burglarized during their absence became only too ap parent from the condition in which the house was left. Neither of the occupants of the house could last night name the amount or value of the stolen articles
 which consisted of rings, earrings, brace lets, opera glasses and small amount oi money, but it is thought that s100 vii cover the total loss.

111m DeIaPeF d speech.
 NEWCASTLE, Oct. 2.-Over 4, 900 persons were packed in the Tyneside theater to- night to hear MT. Gladstone. The appear ance of MT. and Mrs. Gladstone was the signal for a prolonged ovation. A resolu- ton expressing affection for and un- diminished confidence in MT. Gladstone was carried with renewed acclamations. Mir. Gladstone expressed profound grati- tude for the reception accorded him. He met them, he said, in part as citizens of Newcastle, but more particularly as repre- sentatives of that liberal sentiment which he believes dominated powerfully and effectually the mind of the country at large. Looking back to 1880 they saw what was believed to be a crushing defeat. But during the years that had elapsed the horizon had frightened. There were many precursors of certain victory and that victory they knew could not be far distant TCheers

To Give AWav,

A boy of five or six years, according
to story in the Chicago Herald, was
made happy by the arrival OF baby
sister. He had been the only child in
the family, and being good and obe-
dent boy, had oeen hundred till he
was perhaps in some danger of being
spoiled. Before the little new sister
was many weeks old, however, Master
Fred began to feel that his own posi-
ton was sadly altered.
The stranger had supplanted him.
Father, mother and servants were all
the time talking about the baby.
There was no mistake; Fred was no
longer the king.
The boy began to be unhappy, and
just Il en- he remembered a placard
which HIS father had put up as a
CONSPICUOUS point on the premises
some months before,-"Ashes to give
away. Inquire within" Fred had
taken great interest in this notice, and
had inquired infinitely into it's mean
ing. He remembered now that very
soon afterward man called and cart
ed away the ashes..e '>.~~ s,.~-r.
He had been to the Kindergarten,
and could spell and print after a.
fashion. So, with such helps and
hints as he was able to get slyly from
the servants, he managed to concoct
the following sign, which his astonish-
ed father one day found posted in a
slightly position, as he came home to
dinner: '-,'~' s-- -.',---17--: .,.'--,.'@.. j..

"Perhaps motive shall see about
that" said Mrs. Cleveland, stihy, as
she rose to go. But before she took
her departure she stated the original
object of her visit, which set the two
concealed listeners off into shouts of
laughter.

You would lend me Mr.. Harrison's

Saved BY a Hen.

In a town of Germany, once, long
ago, thereliveda minister whom the en-
peror disliked very much because he
taught the people about the Bible.
One day this minister was obliged
to flee from his own house, because
the emperor had sent his soldiers to
find and kill him.
He ran away into the town taking
a loaf of bread with him, and, enter
ing the first door he found open, went
unseen upstairs to the top Of the
house. Then on his hands and knees.
he crept along the roof and pile of
faggots and lay still. The next day
the troopers came determined to take
him dead or alive. They searched
every house in thetown. All the beds,
chests, wood piles, stacks and haylofts
were ransacked with their sabres and
spears. They searched for afortnight.
On the fourteenth day they came to
the house where he was. He could
hear the CHATTER of their sabres from
room to room, until they came to his
loft. What could he do? nothing but
lay quite still and pray earnestly to
God to deliver him. At last a trooper
called out. ''Leave-he is not here"
When the soldiers were safely out
OF town the good man crept out from
his hiding place. And now how do
you suppose he got food enough to
keep him alive through those terrible
fourteen days of hiding?
A hen came to the spot where he
was, and, each day, laid an egg among
the faggots.

A good question for argument in
oranges is, "What crops are most prof,
liable for this section, and when and
where shallwe obtain our seeds?'' :.
Trees in yards here fowls are con-
fined or much frequented by them are

are lessened and the fruit is fairer.
Ducks should now be laying, and the
eggs command a high price. Laying
ducks should be given liberal allow
ance OF animal food at this season.
Wood and coal are cheaper than
grain to keep animals warm, an.E
many farmers consequently warm t.,es.

If butter pays better than beef tho.
steers should not take the place OF the,
COW, but if the COW is not up to the.
full standard OF production the steer
will pay better.
If. the chicken run is spaded down
and sown with rye, which is alloweato
grow, the poultry will be supplied with
abundant pasturage during the win

The best "sign" of good steer is
four .blocky quarters with no waste

The advice frequently given that a
young tree should be properly pruned

but a tree should be pruned carefully
for two or three years, which win ne,

Surface Preparation.

Flowing deep in the fall and then
thoroughly working the soil before
planting the seed, and then with culti-
waited crops only giving shallow cult
walton, is plan OF managing the soil
that is steadily gaining favor. fright
ly managed, there is a considerable
saving OF work at the busy season. By
blowing in the fall or winter the ground
intended for spring planting can, in
many cases, be planted in better sea-
son than if the work of blowing is de-
layed until spring. The same theory
applies tc fall seeding, either for grass
or winter wheat. Another advantage
with this plan is that the blowing can
be done deeper and to better advan-
tage than is otherwise possible. With
old soil it is not a good plan to turn
up on the surface any considerable
amount OF new subsoil at one time,
but it can be gradually deepened with
benefit. By having the blowing done
IN advance, and by using surface Gull
t1vator, the soil can be prepared at
less cost and in shorter time than in
any other way.
The disc harrow, the spring tooth
harrow and cultivator the pulverizing
and cutting harrow are all implements
designed to lessen the work OF prepar-
ing the soil after blowing. 1t is rea-
sonably safe to say that no one i'm
plement is the best for all kinds of
soil. The lay and character of the
soil must be considered. The disc har-
row is one OF the best for preparing
the ground, Pulverizers work best in
loamy soil. The coulter or cutting
harrows are perhaps the best if the
implement is intended for all kinds of
soils. They do best on fallow land,
corn stubble or land that has been
plowed and let lay for some time
Any OF these are rather better than
the common diamond shaped shovel
cultivators, although these have been
greatly improved for this class ofwork
by making the shovels smaller and
putting on more of them. It is not
necessary to stir deep, especially for
clover, grass, oats, flax, or any of the
small grains usually sown in the spring,
and most of these implements cut
from three to six feet, the work OF get
ting the soil in condition can be push
ed along very rapidly. They can also
be used to good advantage in prepar-
ing land for corn aud beans. In some
soils, however, it will be necessary to
use the spike-tooth harrow in order to
properly pulverize the soil before
planting. With all spring crops, and
especially those that are to be cult
waited, it pays to work the surface in
to as good dirt as possible before
planting the seed, but at the same
time it is also we'll to do work as
economically as possible, and the
implement used will make consider
able difference in thisrespect. -Prairie

At the White House,

Two little girls of my acquaintance,
writes a correspondent, were playing
"Come to See." Each had a little
play house under the apple trees in
the rear of little Nannie's home. and
they made pleasant but somewhat
ceremonlous visits to each other un-
der the names Of Mrs. President Har
rison and Mrs. President Cleveland.
Their conversation, however, was not
always in harmony with the charac-
ters and positions OF the ladies whose
names they had assumed.
The Dialogue ran something ikethis.
Mrs. Harrison said: II must get to
