It is compensating feature OF ahe

Dakotas and Minnesota in wheat the ag-
gregate yield, while 5o,OOo,ooc to 75,0o9. 900
bushels under a full crop will still be
about 9O,0OO,000 greater than last year.
The loss of corn over last year Is light
100000. This will probably be made up
by the increase in flax, leaving total
loss to the farmers of 5O,O00,O0O to 75,000,-
900 bushels of wheat, or from $4,000, 900
to $37,500,0OO But comparing with last
year the farmers are ahead 10000, 900
bushels of wheat valued at approxim-
ately $45,OO0,0O0.

Ever since the railroads began to ex-

a policy Of liberaMty in making I'm

Prior to raising the tracks the los4s OF

posed on the companies a burdens of
litigation that was swapping the co4f4s.
For twenty miles OF run into and ouASof

denia, and vindication imperative.
It may be said without prejudice that
flight is not characteristic mode CT
defense with conscious innocence. More
over, the contemporaneous departure OF
Mrs. Bracket, and the anonymous hotel
registration of the Judge at Livingston,
will intensity the public demand for
such prompt conclusion Of the scandal
as will relieve Butte of it's odium and
purge the state judiciary Of the disgrace
to which Judge Harvey seems indiffer-

The Inter Mountain took occasion yes
terday, in reviewing this critical and
humiliating episode in the history of
Montana Jurisprudence, to point three
courses for Judge Harvey. one Of which
the exigencies Of the scandal require;
that he adopt instanter. His first alter
native is exoneration, emphatic and un-
delayed. The latter necessity arises
from the shocking and specific nature OF
the testimony presented in the latest
affidavits. If unable to respond to the
wishes Of the bench, the bar and the
people, Judge Harvey should resign. II
the ordeal of resignation and continued
residence is repugnant, then he should
leave the state with such expedition as
would restore to the courts the integ-

outrage.
It will be useless for him to entertain
any hope that temporary absence abroad
can invoke the charity of forgetfulness.

the charges lodged against him in his
own court, until disproved: nor attenu-
ate the penalty of public contempt, if he
be guilty.

Homely enough;
But the owner
Doesn't seem to care a whit
And acts just as If

And tanks 1t as fine

And the owners after

Consider the feel
As good as fair.

That a phiz like that .

You'll vow it's the worst
You have ever seen.

ChEvRtUl AND MS HABITS OF HEAlTn

The Salt Lake Tribune, commenting
on the life of Chevreul, to whose men,
DRY a monument was unveiled at Paris
the other day, says he was no guide to
any one else, and likens him to street
car horse that lasted IA years. without
spavins or splints or ringbones. although
the average life Of his kind is four years.
The Tribune lightly disregards Chev-
reul's recipe for long life, keep in good
health" in making out a case for the
eccentric ways Of imperious nature. The
distinguished philosopher of color, whose
mans to monopolize the analyne utilities
of his discoveries, was perhaps one OF
the most abstemious, contented and
prudent of men. At the age of 1O3 years,
when he died, his mind was lucid and
his memory tenacious, to a degree that
puzzled the mental scientists.
While Chevreurs vitality was un-
doubleday exceptional, it is likewise true
that his habits contributed to it's rein
forcement. Intoxicants and narcotics he
never used. His diet was of the SIM
plest OF philosophic temperament. he
abstained from excitements Of every
kind, and never suffered himself to be
disturbed by the excuses of politics. the
clamors Of patriotism, nor the shocks of
war. During the bomba rdment of Paris
he pursued the even tenor of his studies
at the Jardin des Plantes despite the
shells that burst around him. He took
little more than an observers part in
the polemics and upheavals of the event.
full century through which he lived. The
conservation of energy a study Of ma
tionalism to statesmen of his time, was
a personal principle with him. He was
placidity personified.
While a life devoted to the science Of
color, chemistry and natural history
would indicate temperament con-
ducive to longevity. Chevreul was a

work. Although tireless of application,
his labors and interests We're of such a
varied nature as to render them for the
most part amusements. He knew how
to avoid the exhaustion of nervous en-

pursuits.
Twelve classic volumes constitute
Chevreurs most enduring monument.

But the other animals thought differently.
and decided to bring the Cancels back
to its normal condition, If possible. They
talked over 1t quietly for sometime, and
at last the Lion promised to do the thing
himself if the others would follow him.
So they all followed the King of Beasts,
who went over and Embossed the Camel,
and told him to also follow the crowd
down to the shore. On the shore they
were building new pier
"a few p-edrivers stood about, and 1t
was to the nearest of these clumsy struc-
lures that the Lion led the way. When
they reached their destination the Lion
whispered something to the Ground Hog.

to his followers, saying: Fenow Quads,
here stands an arch erected to the memory
of the Sea Horse who ran IL knots in

meath its graceful heights and so saying
the Lion. with a wink, lea the way be-
meath the huge piledriver. The others
quickly followed, and the poor, warped
back Camel was the last on the line.
When he had reached about the middle OF
the piledriver a grinding sound was heard,
and as quick as a flash the large iron
weight which hammers the big logs into
the earth came down with dull thud
right on the Cancels hump. And 10! the
transformation was certainly peculiar.
TIE center of the Cancels back was fiat,
where the weight had buried itself. but on
each side of it there was big hump. The
little Ground hog had gnawed the rope
at the right time, and the weight had nat
tened part of the back, but they could
do no more, for there wasn't an animal
present who could catch hold of the rope
to pull the weight up again. so they de-
cided to let well enough alone and hurried
off rejoicing"

robbers near Walkers station, Is miles
south OF here, at 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. and the express car was badly dam

Two men boarded the train at Cottage
Grove as the train pulled out After pass
ing Walkers, which Is four miles from
Cottage grove. they climbed over the ten
der and covered Engineer Jack Nichols
and the fireman and his helper with re-
volvers. The robbers ordered the train
stopped. after which the fireman and help
er were compelled TO uncouple the train
between the express car and the first
coach. Engineer Nichols was then ordered
to pull sheas. the fireman and helper be-
ing left behind.
After going a short distance the train
was stopped and the robbers proceeded to
the express car, taking with them the en-
gineer. The express car was blown open
with dynamite, and Express Messenger
c. Charles was ordered out. but refused to

situation inside the car. The robbers told
him to come out or he would be blown
up with the car. but he replied. BLOW

Kidding the car, but the messenger, who
was uninjured. kept up a continuous fir

A charge OF dynamite was then thrown.

Charles grabbed it and threw IT outside,
where IL exploded. Next the robbers COM

the robbers at bay. ..
The robbers then gave up their efforts

for the mail. They secured the registered
mail, then cut the engine from the rest Of
the train and ordered Engineer Nichols to
pull ahead. Iney ran to Judkins Point, in
the outskirts of Eugene, where they dis
embarked and ordered the engineer to
return and get his train.
The train arrived here at 1880 last night,
about four hours late. The news was wired
from Saginaw, and officers were out in
search OF the robbers early this morning,
but as yet have secured no trace OF them.
