of a third victim, who had been hit

STEALING DOOR BELLS.

For some time housekeepers have
been annoyed by losing the gongs off
their doors and it seemed hard to run
up with the parties who have been
doing the work but they have at last
caught two little negro boys who
have admitted il. and have been sent
to Jail for six months each. They i'm
plicate another boy whom the police
try 20 get the gong off. If the lady of
the house should he attracted to the
door by the noise they will ask for n
piece Of bread. and that throws off
all suspicion of their action. One of
these boys was seen by the lady taxi
ing her bell, and when he asked for
bread she caught him and took her
gong away from him.

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1900-09-27

Says the Forum: Someone declared
repeatedly in 1896 and since that the
republican policy was making the rich
richer-and the poor poorer. In 1894
under the democratic times-there
We're 5,545,S67 depositors in banks in
the United States. The amount de-
posted was $2,S74, 5S9,4O6-quite a
neat sum. Last year-under a repub-
lican administration-the number of
depositors increased 2,1O9,547-there
We're 7,655,414. The total mount of
deposits was $4,6OS, O96, OO5-an in
crease of 81, 733, SOC, 500. The average
deposit per person in 1894 was $500
in 1899 it was $6O2. That tells the
story of the nations prosperity. Let
us look at North Dakota. 1t is learned
that there were 6,914 depositors in
1894. There were 5,23S more in 1899
or a total of 12,152-nearly double
the number of the previous period. The
amount of deposits in 1894 was S2,275;-
I95--and in 1S99-$5,O 5O. 343, or an in
crease of $2,774,54S-that is the amount
deposited has more than doubled. Az
erage deposit for 1894 was S329-for
1s99--$$415 an increase of $50 per per-
son. The foregoing-while it demon
states that republican prosperity makes
the rich richer-it indicates that il
makes millionaires more Of people en-.
joying a bank account-it makes the
poor able to become rich-and drives
poverty away from the doors of mil
lions-but the above speaks for itself

Sheep on Farms.

There are not much short Of 10000.
600 sheep in England and Scotland,
and the area of the whole island Of
Great Britain, which is made up of
these two countries is about the same
~ that Of the state of New York, says
a correspondent Of The Sheep Breeder.
All these sheep are kept on farms.
Many OF them are purchased late in
the summer from the specially pastoral
districts where the mountains afford
feeding to many ffocks which are bred
and reared for the express purpose OF
supplying the farmers with sheep to
be fed on the turnip crops grown for
this use. The consumption Of the roots
finishes the sheep for market as NUT
tons, and covering the land with ma
nure left by the sheep fits it for a crop
Of wheat following. The feeding Of
the sheep Is incidental merely as far as
the farmers are concerned, but the
habit has been 50 popular for the rea-
son that it has been a permanent Incl
dent in the culture and enrichment of
the soil and has enabled the farmers
to grow crops so proftably by the help
of the sheep that the sheep have been
called the rent payers-that is, they
have returned a profit to the farmer In
his way equal to about $25 an acre.
