AUBUPN, Neh,, Oct. 1.-While Rob.
elt Teare, jr., was returning from a
dSnce at about 2 o'clock this morning
when near his home in this city, he
was approached from behind by two
men walking quite rapidly. He
stepped aside to allow them to pass,
when one of them threw his arms
around Roberts neck, and began chok-
ing him while the other relieved him
of about $40 in cash and his watch.
The men were strangers to Robert,
although he thinks he could identify
them, but as there is no clue to work
upon there is but little chance Of
their being captured.

Hold Your Wheat"

A circular which Is credited to the
Minnesota Alliance has recently been
issued. 1t is similar in statement and
advice to the former proclamations,
which declared that the farmers would
make money in the end by holding their
wheat. This latest circular gives figures
concerning the demand and supply of
wheat throughout the whole world,
which are of particular interest to all
growers of that necessary cereal.
1t gives the exporting capacity OF the
United States at l40. 000. 600 bushels mora
than last year which falls 4O.OOO.OO0
short of supplying the worlds deficit.
This l4O. 900 900 bushels. it says. would
supply Europe with bread for l91s days.
The letter does not advise the farmer
to create AN unnecessary scarcity or to
repudiate his debts. but to sell only
what he is obliged to when the receipts
are large and increasing. and when they
are on the decline to sell only a certain
portion each month. In conclusion thu
letter predicts that wheat will sell on
Minnesota and Dakota farms at $3.50
per bushel before the winter closes.

New York Farmers League.

The New York State Farmers league.
which met in Utica last month, charged
it's legislative committee with the
preparation and presentation of bills
at the coming session of the state
Legislature as follows: To establish
the legal rate of interest at s per
cent. to equalize taxation by taxing real
and personal property alike; to direct
that goods and articles manufactured by
convicts in state prisons be sold abroad
and not ut home. and that the proceeds
of such sales he divided equally between
the prisoners and the state; to prevent
the a,iulteration Of food and drinks: to
amend the highway laws SO that the
btilding of public roads shall not be
under state. but under county manage
ment: to amend the act creating the
state board Of railroad commissioners
by increasing the number OF commits
sioners to five and giving representation
to farmers and mechanics.

among his own kind, a system OF "be-
nanza farming" has arisen. Railroad
companies gave special rates to the bo-
nanxa men. and this disastrous compe
titlon grew still further as ranchmen
took possession of the vast areas of the
west, SO that the chances for success fol
the farmer ON u small farm have lessened
yearly. Another reason the farmer has
fallen behind in the race is because his
forces are scattered. while those Of Others
are concentrated. Even large proper
ton OF the public lands, which could
be used by the homestead settler, WA
granted to large corporations
Statistics prove that agriculture earns
not more than 3 per cent. net profit, while
. the rate OF interest on money is from
thre. to thirty times as much. The

Explosion OF seIf-Hearing sadIron.
Mother and Child Burned.
Fire, 1t has been declared, follows some
people, and so does misfortune. The truth
of this is established in the case of Mrs.
Amelia Kennedy, who lives at 25OS Bush
street, near Scott.
Many years ago she resided in San Jose.
with her husband. who was earning a good
salary, but for some reason he refused 10
support her and her children. She sued for
a divorce, obtained 1t, and her husband
who was ordered to pay almony, refused to
do so until threatened with imprisonment
He paid one months alimony and then fed
the State TO avoid further payments. At
present be is somewhere in the State of
Washington. Mrs. Kennedy, thrown upon
her own resources. came to this city and
sought assistance from her relatives, from
whom she had been estranged, but they re-
fused to assist her. Then she obtained the
agency for the sale of patent self-heaiing
sadirons, expecting 10 make living by sell
ing them. Last Thursday she experimented
with one OF them, but did not follow diree-
tions closely, and as a result some Of the
tuid used for heating purposes escaped
from the reservoir. When match was ap-
piled the oil caught fire. aud while she was
trying to extinguish Ii the reservoir ex-
ploded. The fame shot up and burned
Mrs. Kennedy's face, and IL is thought de-
stroyed the sight OF one OF her eyes Her
son, 16 years old, was also badly burned
about the face.

view that pales the word beautiful"

them; slender ribbon of sEowshed. away

Peak looking down in on tie place where
the DOnner party met death ia the snow /;
signs Of an avalanche that has swept by in
winter; the feeling In the air that one really

These were some OF the impressioniSt
scratches set down by THE CALL man in
his notebook, while he sat with two feet in
the grave.
The avalanehes tear of some very good
sized rocks in their awful flight, but it will
have to be a world shaking one to send
Stewart McKay's tomb down iuto DonDer
Lake.
There is nothing so very original In the
idea of making tomb in the high Sierras
One man had beautiful hole dug ia a rock
near Donner Peak. aud then went fishing in
the lake. fell out Of his boat and never rose
10 the surface
That is pretty hard on a man who goes to
all the trouble and expense of such a thing.
Mckay says he Is willing TO buy his fish,
for that lake has way of keeping its dead.
and he don't propose 10 have the best tomb
In the country 60 untenanted.
III leviiy aside, it is an ideal grave, that
OF Stewart Mckay. 1t is far away from the
busy haunts of man. There is no sound
save the soughing of the wind through the
pines and the twitter of the birds.
In winter. covered by the enormous depth
OF snow that falls about DOaner Lake, one
could find no trace of the tomb. There are
bIazed trees half mile below the grave, at
a place called the Poplars, that show where
The snow has fallen 10 the depth Of 20 feet
And that right on the Old overland trail
The tomb Is six miles from Truckee, aud
only q short distance from the white cross
that marks the spot where the Donners lay
down TO die.
Yes, truly, IL is place where one might
wish 10 rest after "the war of life has
ceased" Troubled spirits, awake in

may well sigh for the quiet grave marked :

One more trusted employe has betrayed
his trust, and he has gone the way of others
who have preceded him. He is now fugi-
tive from justice with officers in search Of
him. His name is Staetler, and he was en-
ployed in the dual capacity OF hookkeener
and cashier for A. j. Turner, a lumber
merchant. doing business at ga Bryant
street. 1t has been ascertained that Staet-
Ter not only appropriated funds from his
employers safe, but he forged his employ
eT's name to negotiable paper and realized
upon 1t. The matter has been placed in the
hands of the Morse Agency. but it was i'm
possible to obtain the amount of the miss
ing cashiers defaeation. Mr.. Turner, who
knows, declined to state the amount, but
admitted that his once cashier committed
forgery and is out OF the city.
