RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
How the Appropriations of This Great
Measure Are Distributed.

The river and harbor bill passed by the
Senate the other day is the largest river
and harbor bill in the history of the ma
ton. 1t appropriates $75,0O0,O00, Of
which more than $12,000,0O0 is for i'm
mediate use and nearly $63,O00,0O0 for
continuing contracts. The appropriations
have been skillfully distributed among
the States. New York gets the largest
sum of the direct appropriations, but ILL
nois secures the largest authorization for
the future, her share thereof being over
$6,OO0,000, or one-tenth Of the whole.

LEAVING FOR BRAZIL.
Canadians Alarmed by the Immigraiions
From That Country.

Montreal, September 15.--There is oon
siderable excitement over the sailing of
one thousand Canadians by the steamer
Verona today for Brazil The mayor Of
Montreal has received a message from
Hon. r. W. Scott, secretary of state and
acting minister of the interior, asking
that steps be taken to stop the exodus
The minister state that he feared the
i'm migrants did not realize the grave
risks they were running in acting upon
the advice of a Brazilian immigration
agent. and leaving Canada for that
country. A letter had just been received,
he said from the British government by
the Canadian government, calling at
tent1on to this matter and enclosing the
correspondence which condemned it.
The high commissioner in London on
August 81, had written that English i'm
migrants had been prevented from going
to Brazil Oh the strength of such immi-
grantion schemes, as it had been demon
strated that the climate was too deadly
for them.
The mayor had interviews with MIR.
Hoolahan, Canadian immigration agent !;
Mr.. Mayor, acting consul to Brazil, and
Mr.. Deoampos, immigration commits
sioner for Brazil.
They stated that ST. Paul, where the
immigrants were going, was perfectly
healthy place, and that they would be
pei fectly free to remain or leave. The
mayor subsequently wired the facts to
the Canadian government.

MA DE TOO MUCH NOISE,
Two Little Boys Attempted to Burelarize
Restaurant and Were Caught,

Crash Crashl
"Help helpl policel policel'' screamed
a woman living over Fowler's restau-
rant at 63 Commercial street about -. 30
last night. Then came the sound of
some one running. the scramble over a
high board fence near Mrs Frieps resi-
dence on Fore street and out into the
dark street rushed two little boys. Off
Gers Thompson and Pillshury were stand
ing on the corner, heard the crash and
cries and saw the boys running nm the
street. The officers gave chase and caught
them after a short run. On investiQa-
ton it was found that the two boys had
attempted to burglarize Fcwler's resta-
urant at 633 Commercial street and had
sought an entrance by breaking a back
window with stone. A woman who
lives over the restaurant was awakened
by the sound of breaking glass and gave
the alarm. The boys were probably af-
ter cigars and candy which are kept in
the restaurant. At the police station
the two would-be burglars gave their
names, between sobs. to Deputy Sterling
as James Terry, II years old, and Charles
Lang, aged 10. They were locked ND and
will face Judge Robinson this morning
and may be sent to the Reform school.

Rhubarb Plants.

Rhubarb plants may be safely set both
in fall and spring, but if fall set the
crowns should be we'll covered with
earth to prevent heaving and exposure
of the roots during winter, for rhubarb,
though very hardy plant, will not en-
dure rapid alterations of freezing and
thawing when exposed to the air, and
is, therefore, not we'll adapted for very
moist soils in cold climate. What ia
wanted in rhubarb culture is an early,
rapid and vigorous leaf growth, with
the accompanying large and juicy leaf
stalks. Rural New Yorker tells that
there is nothing better than the early
application of fermenting horse manure
for this purpose.

INDIANA CANVASS.
1t Seems to Show That Republicans Are
All Right There.

New York. September 15.-The World,
this morning, prints the following from
Evansville. Ind, under date September
IA: The Republican committee of Indiana
has just completed CANVASS OF the state.
The result is not encouraging to the
friends of free silver and populism:
FARMER" Jack Gowdy, the chairman
of the committee, has been at work since
Mckinley swept the state at the
primaries. Two oomplete polls of the
stats have been made, the last one in less
than seven days. The results are as fol-
lows:
In May canvass was made that gave
the republicans about co., 900 plurality.
Two years ago the Republican plurality
at the state election was about $4,000.
The Democratic machine was in bad con-
dillon, the party was dispirited, and the
fight well nigh taken out of it. The May
canvass fairly represented the political
conditions some months ago.
The enrolment just completed Is what
is known at the sixty day canvass. There
were shown to be many changes, and the
figures OF May were greatly reduced. A
majority of about 20, 600 over the popu-
list-democratio aggregation was, how
ever, ascerrained.
About 25, 900 Democrats who have not
yet decided how they will vote were
counted as against Mckinley.
The Republican state machine is con-
Quoted with great precision. There is a
member OF the state committee from each
congressional district. In each ons of
these there is district committee of
which the state committeeman is chair
man. In addition there is county com-
mittee, composed of one man from each
precinct, who is elected by the party
voters of the precinct. There is also a
precinct committee. In the rural districts
the precincts are subdivided into small
areas. generally of twenty voters each.
1t may be seen that by this organiza-
ton man can go over his territory in q
day, and his report may reach the head
quarters of the state central committee
in less than week. Another canvass
will be made in October.
The silver partisans do not wish to be
quoted as admitting the forthcoming
disaster to their cause in the hoosier
state. Indeed, they assert that between
the present time and election matters
will be strengthened out in satisfactory
manner. The fact Is the old Democratic
machine is well nigh shattered to scrap
heap condition.

Building SiIos.

The essential points in building silos,
as summed up in bulletin on silos is
sued from the New York station, are:
To have the walls tight enough to ex-
clude air from the contents; to have
the walls not only strong, but rigid; to
have sufficient depth, 80 feet or more,
if possible. There should be not more
than about five square feet of feeding
surface in the silo for each COW. The
larger the silo the cheaper the storage
for each ton Of silage. The larger the
herd the more cheaply can silage be
supplied to each animal.

BUILDING A GLASS HOUSE.
A Practical Model For Winter Gardening.
Best Method Of Heating.

A Practical Model For Winter Gardening.
Best Method Of Heating.
The three-quarter span greenhouse,
from Is to 30 feet wide, has been prov
ed beyond all reasonable doubt to be
the best and most practical form Of
glasshouse for winter gardening. These
greenhouses are always located to run
east and west, and the long slope Of
glass usually faces south, though there
are few earnest advocates Of the short
span to the south arrangement. Houses
OF this form are most economically built
in lengths Of 100 feet or more, but may
be made as short as desired and extend
ed afterward.
The south wall is or feet high and
the north one or s feet. TIE south
pitch of the roof should be about 80 de-
grees q inches to the foot) which would
bring the ridge somewhat over 10 feet
high at the apex. The side benches are
each about 8 feet wide and are placed
from IL to 10 inches below the plates.
The center bench, which will vary in
width from 6 feet in house 16 feet
wide, to 10 feet in 30 foot house, is
built up SO that its southern edge is not
more than four feet from the glass. If
wider than feet, it is best made dou-
BILE, with the north side a foot or so
higher and narrow walk between the
two parts. The walks between the mid
die bench and the north and south
benches are usually "a inches wide.
When constructed Of wood, in the
usual manner, greenhouses Of this style
can be built for So or Sc per running
foot when built in 100 foot lengths.
Shorter houses will cost proportionately
more per foot, as the expenditure for
ends is the same, while the available
bench room is curtailed. Hot water is
considered the best method of heating
small ranges of houses under 10000
square feet Of glass. The cost, at present
rates, would be in the neighborhood Of
$500 for house 20 by 100 feet. A steam
system would cost about Is per cent
less, or nearly $780, The old fashioned
brick flues are still in use by successful
greenhouse men and cost much less than
either steam or hot water in the first
instance, as two fues, sufficient for the
house above mentioned, may be built at
cost not exceeding 800. Flues, how
ever, are of doubtful economy in the
long run, as they require close attention
and consume large quantity Of high
quality coal.
All things considered, glass IA to 16
inches wide will give the best satisfac-
ton. Above Is inches wide the price
rapidly increases, and with widths less
than IA inches too many sash bars are
required, darkening the houses consider
ably in midwinter. What is known as
B or second quality natural gas glass
makes very satisfactory roof. Double
strength glass costs about 10 per cent
more than the ordinary single strength,
but is considered to be much warmer
and is less likely to be broken by acci-
dent or hailstones. Thanks are due to
Rural New Yorker for the foregoing
practical and helpful information.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local application as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inaamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,

Lynching and Finance.

Washington. September 15.-At the
Episcopal church at Shiloh, Md, Rev.
". II. Brooks, presiding elder, resolu-
lions were adopted on the financial ques-
tion and on lynching. On the former
su bJeot the conference suggested that
our race take stand for honest methods
with all people and that q careful study
of the situation be made before they gave
assent to any change of our standard
currency now prevalent.
In regard to lynchings tho conference
expressed it's profound gratitude tor the
efforts put forth by Governor LOwndes
of Maryland, Governor o Farrell of Vir-
Rinia, Governor Atkinson Of Georgia and
other officials against mob violence, and
declared that right of trial by jury
should be accorded to every citizen,
white and black.
