Western notes and dispatches give evil
dence that observers in that part OF the
country have remarked indications or the
speedy return of prosperity. Guthrie sends
out word that Oklahoma farmers are in
clover, many of them having from 5000 to
81 900 worth of wheat In sight, besides
the other products of their farms, while
those who have much land given over to
fruit will be better off yet. One man men,
toned has marketed 81 900 worth OF cher
ries and will have as much more from
plums and pears and nearly as much from
peaches. An Ell Reno man who planted
early potatoes was supplying the cities as
far north as Minneapolis and as far west
as Denver and was clearing his land for
second crop. From Perry alone $500, 900
worth of hogs have been shipped within
the last six months, and the farmers there
abouts are planting alfalfa with the inten-
ton of going into the hog raising business
seriously.
Men from all over Kansas are congre-
eating In the big wheat section around
Larned in that state, where the crops are
immence, and wages are to be as high as
in other years New York Sun.

This wire was run through an alley, over
q transom and to the safe. Another wire,
attached to the rail Of the street car tracks,
was brought into the bank. At the ends
of these wires were carbon points. With
these carbons an attempt was made with
the arc light thus formed to melt the knob
of the combination.
The experiment worked all right, and
the knob had been nearly melted away
when the current was shut off, shortly be-
fore midnight. The burglars then gave
up the task
The job was planned scientifically. The
thieves had even gone to the trouble of
placing little pile of sand under the
knob for the molten metal to fall on and
thus avoid setting fire to the floor. There
is no clew to the burglars.-New York
