Have Agreed Upon II schedule of Rates
and Rules,
The owners of threshing machine out
fits operating in Choteau, Cascade and
Fergus counties have been consulting
with one another, and are said to have
come to an agreement regarding prices
and methods by which their interests
can be protected, says the River Press.
The schedule of rates agreed upon is
substantially as follows: For threshing
wheat, 4c; barley, &c; oats, Sc; rye, &c;
peas, Zoe: flax, 15c; timothy, 25c.
The above schedule of prices applies
to bound grain only: for loose or I'M
bound grain an addition of one cent per
bushel will be charged in each case. 1t
is also agreed that no job, however
small, shall be performed for a sum less
than So.
The most important part of the agree
mont is a provision which binds the
signers not to thrcsh for any farmer who
is in arrears Tor the %threshing done dur
ing the previous season. The owners of
the different outfits will mpa notes
with one another, and any customer who
is delinquent for his last years thresh-
ing will be known to all of them. The
operator to whom the farmer owes for
the previous years work will be allowed
to thresh for him again this season, if
he cares to do SO, but the other operators
will decline the business until the old
account has been satisfactorily settled.

From Saturdays Daily.
Under the direction Of the county
commissioners and Auditor Beachly the
work Of repairing the Fifteenth street
bridge has been completed, except some
necessary epiking, the material for which
has not yet arrived. The travel over the
bridge has been mainly in the center
heretofore, and this part Of the bridge
was almost worn through. Planks were
laid in the center in opposite direction
to the old planks, thus making the first
layer level, and then a new floor was laid
on this lower layer. The old planks re-
main, thus saving $4,000 feet Of lumber,
an important item.
In the center of the bridge a rail was
laid which will keep teams going in OPP
posite directions on opposite sides of the
bridge, thus evenly distributing the
wear over the entire surface.

pRrAcHING nY TELEPHONE.

Preaching by telephone is the latest.
Rev. Russell H. Conwell, who is now
recognized as one of the most popular
preachers in Philadelphia, finding that
his congregation has outgrown the ca
paclty of the church to seat it, has
introduced the novelty Of the telephone,
by which he is enabled to address audi
ences in three halls at the same time.
This performance is glibly said to be
success. but it will be well to wait
awhile before finally pronouncing
preaching by telephone a success. OF
course If a preacher can fill three or
four meeting houses the telephone will
help him out, and will also be a very
valuable means of grace. But the
preachers who can fill three or four
meeting houses are not common. In
deed. those who can fill half Of one are
the exception rather than the rule. If
preaching by telephone becomes general
and popular it will, of course, greatly
increase the decay of going to meeting
That decay has already made alarming
progress, and an increase of 1t would be
very discouraging. BY and by when
telephones are so cheap that all can
have them, even with a preaching at
tachment, if all do so have them how
many will go to meeting? viii they
not prefer to lie abed or sit in an easy
chair and have themselves thus COM
fortably "1ed heavenward?" And will
not many who are supposed to be listen
ing to the preaching be doing something
else? How will a preacher be able to
tell whether or not his hearers" are
hearing? He can't do 1t now, and if he
breaches by telephone he surely can't.
1t will probably be wise not to en-
courage the spread of preaching by tel
ephone, except in cases where preach
err can fill three or four meeting houses.
It does people good to rig up in their
best clothes, go to meeting and at least
pretend to notice what goes on there.
by telephone will, If 1t be-
comes general, give people too much OPP
portunity to shirk the means Of grace.

customs are so different from those OF
other nations that to us, who are proud
Of being civilized, they sometimes seem
quite ridiculous. What civilized nation
would provide a regular home for beg
gars, for instance-not as matter of
charity, for all civilized people do that,
but purely in the line of business? Yet
the Chinese do this, If the following sto-
ny told by a German newspaper is true.
According to this journal, the Kleine
Chronik, q joint-stock company In Pc
king erected some years ago a large
building termed Ki-mao-fan, or hem
feather-house. 1t Is to be used as a
night refuge for the begging population
of the Celestial city. A monster feath-
er-bed covers the whole floor of one of
the largest rooms. Old and young, all
are admitted without distinction. Each
settles down for the night as comforta-
bly, as he can in this ocean of feathers.
At first each sleeper received q small
blanket, but 1t was found, subsequent
ly that these blankets very soon dis
appeared, being probably appropriated
by the servants of the establishment,
so an enormous common blanket, full
of round holes through which the beg
gars at rest on the feathers can thrust
their heads for air, was made large
enough to cover the floor of the whole
room. In the daytime this general
blanket is drawn up to the ceiling by
ropes and pulleys, and at night, when
all the company are in their places, 1t is
let down and then the beggars have to
look sharp to get their heads through
one of the holes lest they run a good
chance of being suffocated. The same
In the morning, they must be careful to
draw their heads out of the hole at the
first stroke of the tomtom, when the
blanket is again lifted from the huge
nest, lest they be drawn up to the cell
ing and hanged.
