MIR. Bettern says he was awakened by
some one moving about one of
the rooms shortly after midnight.
Jumping from his bed he ran
into the room from whence the
noises proceeded and saw a heavily built
man moving about. He called to him TO
leave the house, but the man, instead of do
ing so, drew revolver from his pocket and
ordered Bettern from the room. Bettern
stopped to pick up a heavy ornamental stone
that was on the floor near the fireplace to
defend himself. Before he could arise the
burglar sprang TO his side and shot at his
head. Bettern's struggle to get up saved his
life Despite the fact that the room was
dark, Bettern believes he could identify the

cure anything of value.

CONSULT ON THE VIADUCT
City Engineer Rosewater and Chief
Engineer Berry of the Union
Pacific Go Over Plans.

City Engineer Rosewater has had brief
conference with Chief Engineer Berry of the
Union Pacific regarding the plans Of the
proposed Sixteenth street viaduct, and while
nothing definite resulted from the meeting
Chief Engineer Berry's visit indicated that
the railroads are considering the matter.
The railroad engineer wished to learn
some details regarding the plans prepared in
the city engineers office. After the plans
were explained he stated that some modif-
cations would probably be made, but could
not tell what they would be until he had
consulted Chief Engineer Weeks of the Bur-
lington. The two engineers will go over the
plans together during the next week or ten
days and will then probably hold another
conference with City Engineer Rosewater.
The railroads have apparently come to the
conclusion that there is no loophole in the
United States supreme court decision in the
viaduct case. For the first time in a good
many years they have taken the initiative in
the matter OF repairing q vaduct. They are
seeking permission from the council to relay
the flooring on the Tenth street structure
The present wooden block pavement, which
is in very bad condition, will be torn up and
will be replaced with heavy oak timbers
There is no question that the council will
give its permission without much delay, as
the viaduct is In bad shape for vehicles.

Kansas was admitted to the union Jan

butter, cheese and milk in 1897 was $780,
393.913 Kansas has 10000 school houses
and forty-one colleges. This makes a rec
ord for the past ten years that is not sur
passed by any state in the union with an
equal population. Kansas is the ideal farm

winters, early springs, late and beautiful
fall weather, a rich and fertile soil, saub-
rious climate and her people enjoy long

This exhibit is a grand showing of the
agricultural products of the state and a
surprising revelation to the the thousands
of visitors who have had the impression
that nothing could be grown In that region.
The great pyramids of wheat, barley, oats
and grasses at once impress one of the pos
sbilities of crop raising, and closer ex-
animation which people are attracted to
make shows astounding facts in regard to
the enormous yields per acre. At first one
is inclined to doubt the statements of the
magnificent results, but on seeing the Tong,
bright strong straws, the large, full heads,
and the beautiful, plump grains nothing is
doubted. There are over 500 farmers Of
Montana represented in these pyramids and
the figures on the tags of the samples sho q
that the fields of grain in which the same
was grown averaged fully eighty acres each.
The barley is of the two-road variety, such
as is most desirable for mailing purposes,
and there is no disputing the fact that this
grain Is much sought by brewers. Not ole
Is 1t in favor among the large brewers OF
New York and other eastern states, but
ship-loads of it are annually marketed In
Germany. where 1t is used in the manu-
facture of the best class OF malt drinks. The
wheat shows conclusively its superior eX-
cellence. No state in the union produces
superior quality and nowhere are there so
many bushels raised to the acre, and the
exhibit shows that the wheat area is not

confined to one locality, but that wherever
there is agricultural land in Montana these
enormous crops are raised.
The oats pyramid evidences the fact that
Montana is the peer of any other state In the
production Of this cereal OF the many ex-
hibitors majority produced in the Sc ason
Of 1897 above seventy bushll of oats per acre
while number report yields exceeding 100
bushels much OF this grain, weighing above
forty five pounds to the machine measured

varieties and the yien of tons per acre is
ruly marve Gus. That Montana is one of the
leading producers of cattle, horses and sheep
is already a matter of history 1t markets
over S12, 100000 worth of live stock annuity,

Commissioner at the exposition, states that
the agriculture of his state Is but partly
developed and that there is land for
thousands of people to make homes upon AMI
become prosperous and happy.
Besides agriculture Montana has a fine
display of her horticulture, which will be a
surprise. The pyramid of apples, pears,
teaches, rlums and apricots shown in jars
is samples taken from the orchards of nine
counties in the state last year and is a
remarkably fine showing. The fresh fruits
