the places where the cars or boats
come to be loaded.
In an elevator vieited by a newspaper
correspondent there were eight NOV
able chutes leading from as many bins
to the pier of the ship, where the boats
came alongside to receive their car
goes. The elevator had capacity Of
almost 100000 of grain, and the
!, eight bins for loading bats each had
capacity of 5000 bushels. The fore
man in charge Of the ship loading had
an arrangement for telling how much
grain there was in the bin, which made
it unnecessary for anyone to visit the
bin and see how big supply 1t con-
tained. A rope reached over n pulley
and into the storage bin. A heavy
weight was attached to the end In the
bin. The other end of the rope reach
ed to the first floor of the elevator.
Various marks were on the wall and
at the side of each, such and such a
number Of bushels Of grain was mark
ed down, the larger numbers being to-
ward the bottom. A knot was tied In
the rope and when test was made by
loosenlng the rope and letting down
the weight to the surface of the grain
the foreman could tell just how much
remained In. the bin. By ropes the
workman could also open or close a
valve, shutting off the grain or letting

mer wheat and oats pour into
the grain elevators Of Chicago
at great rate. The grain doesn't all
stay there by any means, There
wouldn't be room for It. Trains are
constantly backing into the elevators
and boats pulling up to their sides to

port the cereals eastward. Chicago Is
the chief depot Of the country for max
Ing the transfer from the producing
points to those where the grains are to

Most Of the g.eat elevators of the

reached by both water and rail, for

the most OF the big shipments out Of
the city go by boat. If the Chicago ell

Of them have narrow upper sections
only about half as wide as are the
main portions. These higher portions
are used for machinery and grain trans

PROFITS OF RICE GROWERS.
Industry In the Southwest Has Passe,
the Ex M r iunnI,AnI Etn.no

Industry In the Southwest Has Passed
the Experimental Stage.
The production in the Southwest has
long since passed the experimental
stage, and the man who wishes to be-
come a rice farmer can secure IN ample
fund of statistics from any Of the varI-
GUS centers to enable him to calculate
closely on the tilling tract of 10, 100,
or 10000 acres, for he can find cOmpan-
les who have invested half million
dollars to purchase and prepare
farms" of the lust-named size for the
Industry, but the majority of the grow
ers have confined their individual effort
to 80 or 100 acres. Taking a group of
the lOO-acre projects and averaging the
results, the expenses are as follows:
Flowing and cultlvatlng, 81 an ucre;
seeding, $3.50; harvesting, thrashlng
and hauling crop to mill or railroad sta
ton, $5. Levee work and other items
swell the total cash outlay of making"
the crop to $50 nn acre.
The owner contracts with the irriga-
tion company to furnish sufficient wa
ter fer the season for one-ffth Of the
yield, unless he controls his water
works, which for hundred-acre farms
cost from $1,000 to $500. The harvest,
Of course, varies considerably. 1t may
be ten barrels of l62 pounds each to the
acre. A specially favorable season
may Increase II to fifteen barrels. The
price, too, huctuates. Basing 1t at $3.50
per barrel for the minimum yield, the
farmer obtains $500 from his rice alone.
Deductlng interest at q per cent on the
cost Of his land at $40 an acre, taxes
and Insurance, he nets profit of 5000.
But to this he can add $500, the value
of the straw and bran left after thrash
ing Thus 30 per cent of the original
land value may be paid by the pro-
ceeds of one. years harvest.
= Usually enough vegetables, perhaps
fruit, are raised for the family supply,
and the tendency to diversity Is becOm-
Ing yearly more pronounced; for the
energetic grower has an opportunity to
produce some other staple during the
half-year when the rice Is not under
cultivation. The profit may average
near $25 or $50 an acre.-American Re

AUTHOR SCORES ON PUBLISHER.
DOwntrodden Writer Who Got Even with
His Tyrant.

His Tyrant.
Only the rattle OF the wheels on the
rails disturbed the quiet OF the smoking
car on one of the suburban trains the
other morning, save when a proficient
card player announced the number to
be scored at the end Of hand. A cer-
tain publisher, who never failed to
travel on that train, for a wonder was
silent, and had 10 tales to tell OF the
enormous circulation of the last look
he had wheedled out of the author foi
"almost nothing" After awhile the
author, who occasionally travels on the
same train, got on at small station.
"Hello, Blank" roartd the pub
Usher as soon as the author loomed up
in the doorway, fixing the attention Of
the car on the twain: II say, did you
get that check sent you yesterday"
"Tm sure" replied the author,
modestly, 81 don't know; l got 30
many checks yesterday"
"Why mean the one for $40 for
that short story of yours | accepted" !"
said the publisher in loud voice.
"Oh, yes," quietly replied the au-
thor. 81 recollect now. Yes. got it.
1t was for that story sent you last
year which you returned saying it was
dead rot and paid seventy for this
er."
With one voice the company OF card
players cried:
"Score onel"
But amid the laughter the hilarious
note of the publisher was not heard.

"3ob" Burdette.s Revenge.

Undoubtedly one of the most accept
able examples of the ''club wOman's
husband is found In Mr. Burdctte-
genial Bob Burdette. us he is so hap
PLY called-for he not only attends all
the biennials, but shows his hum rous
hand from time to time In support OF
his wife.
Not long ago, for interesting instance
the Atchlson Globe, pending a visit OF
Mrs. Burdette TO that town, and In
preparation of which the club women
were making much ado, published q
sarcastic editorial headed, who Is
Mrs. Bob Burdette" When this came
to the notice of Mr.. Bob, he industri.
Ously set about sending the editor news
paper clippings by the yard. Each day
for weeks he posted an article about
Mrs. Burdette's club work or home life,
and finally added a note calling atten-
tion to the fact that in the same issue
with the editorial was fine wrlte-up
of the lady on an inside page. 'Read
your own paper" was the parting shot
to the editor. Il do"
Thereupon the paper came out with a
second editorial headed, I'VE Eat
Mud" and in conclusion said; 'If Mr..
Burdette viii quit, we will apologize for
our lack of information about his wife.

subject, however, for to express an
un-orthodox opinion was a dangerous
matter in those days in the Land OF
the Saints.
Yes, a dangerous matter-so dan
gerous that even the most sanity
dared only whisper their religious
opinions with bated breath, lest some
thing which fell from their lips might
me misconstrued and bring down @
swift retribution upon them.
The victims of persecution mad now
turned prosecutors on their own ac-
count, and prosecutors Of the most
terrible description.
Not the Inquisltion of Seville, nor
the German Vehmgericht, nor the Sc
cret societies of Italy, were ever able
to put more formidable machinery
In motion than that which cast a
cloud over the Territory Of Utah.
It's invisibility and the mystery
which was attached to 1t made this
organization doubly terrible. 1t ap-
peared to be omniscent and omnipo-
tent, and yet was neither seen nor
heard.
The man who held out against the
Church vanished away, and none
knew whittier he had gone or what
had befallen him. His wife and chill.
dren awaited him at home, but NO
father ever returned to tell them how
he had Jared at the hands of his secret
judges.
A rash word or hasty act was fol.
lowed by annihilation, and yet none
knew what the nature might be OF
this terrible power which was sus-
pended over them.
At first this vague and terrible pow
er was exercised only upon the recall
citrants, who, having embraced the
Mormon faith, wished afterward to
pervert or to abandon 1t. Soon, how
ever. 1t took a wider range.
The supply Of adult women was
running short and polygamy without
female population on which to
draw was barren doctrine indeed.
Strange rumors began to be banded
about-rumors of murdered immi
grants and rifed camps in regions
where Indians had never been seen
Fresh women appeared in the harems
of the elders-women who pined and
wept, and bore in their faces the
traces Of an unextinguishable horror
Belted wanderers upon the noun
tains spoke of gangs Of armed men
masked. stealthy, and noiseless, who
fitted by them In the darkness
These tales and rumors took sub
stance and shape and we're corroh
grated and re-corroborated, until they
resolved themselves into definite
name.
To this day. In the lonely ranches
of the West, the, name OF the DANTE
Band, or the Avenging Angels, Is 4
sinister and an ill-omened one.
Fuller knowledge Of the organiza'
ton which produced such terrible re-
suits served to increase rather than
to lesson the horror which 1t inspire
in the minds Of men.
None knew who belonged to this
ruthless society. The names of the
participators in the deeds Of blood
and violence, done under the name of
RELIGION, were kent profoundly secret
The very friend to whom you COM
municated your misgivings rs to the
prophet and his mission might be one
Of those who would como forth at
night with fire and sword to exact a
terrible reparation. Hence every man
feared his neighbor. and none spoke
of the things which were nearest his
heart.

Q track that runs down the center of
! the building. At frequent intervals
along the floor there are trap doors
down which the grain may be emptled.
The boxcar Is stopped with its SIDE
door opposite one of the traps. The
car door is entered and a man with a
steam shovel climbs inside A steam
shovel Is made OF boards fastented to
gether and is about three feet wide by
four in length. Near the top are two
handles by which the workman may
pull 1t about. On the opposite side and
near the bottom of the shovel are fas-
tened the two ropes which by means Of
steam power pull the shovel forward
each time after the workman sinks 1t
down into the wheat AS the shovel
lowers the wheat In the car tie work
man removes, one after another, the
side boards which were placed enc
above the other In the car door to hold
the wheat while It was being trans
ported in the car.
AS the wheat is thus being shoveled
out Of the car and down into re-
celving bin below the floor, the machin-
cry Is started which operates a trans
fer belt that moves through this re-
ceiving bin. The belt Is fitted with
cups which fill themselves as they pass
through the grain. Up, up mount these
cups on the belt until they reach tie
top floor of the elevator, perhaps 100
or 40 feet above the point where they
are started. Here as the belt turns
In the descent the cups empty their
loads Of grain into bins which are to
hold the cereal but temporarily. With
chutes at their bottoms these tempo-
rary bins are connected with the weigh
ing bins on the floor just below. The
weigher, by system OF levers con-
trolling a cutoff, draws into the In
closed weighing bin as much wheat
as he pleases. When the yard rises in
dicatlng that the amount Of grain for
which be gauged the scales has poured
Into the bins he cuts off the stream
and records the amount which has been
weighed.
BY another lever the platform Of the
scales can be opened and the wheat
dropped into a chute which leads to
the floor below. Here unique contriv-
ance carries the grain to any Of the
storage bins desired. Two wide rub
Der belts, full three and a half feet
broad, extend from one end OF the
long building to the other. The chutes
from the various weighing bins depend
Just above one or the other Of these
belts. The belts are operated on roll
ers which curve up In such way at
their ends that the belt is made to
curve up In a corresponding way at
the edges. On each side Of the belt
on the surface Of the floor Is the rail
OF a track which extends the full
length Of the belt. At various points
along the floor are openings into the
bins below. To get the grain, which
has been dropped from the weighing
bin ehutes to these flying belts, into
the lower bins requires the use OF still
another unique device which runs on
this track. This device Is a receiver
for the grain. snd into this receiver
the grain Is thrown from the belt Long

AN OLD RAILROAD TIE.
Did Service as a TrelIis After Thirty
Years. Usage.

Diu service as Irellts AFTER thirty
Years. Usage.
II saw an old railroad relic the other
day that was quite a curiosity" said
a contractor. 1T was in the posses
sion Of farmer near Springfield. 1t
was one Of the ties used in the con-
structiOn Of the first railroad built in
Illinois, The Northern Cross extend
ing from Springfield to Naples on the
Illinois River, and now a part of the
Wabash system. 1t was built, or at
least begun, In 1896. and was of con-
structlon now strange to railroad peo-
pie.
The ties were of red cedar and were
laid farther apart than Is now the Gus
tom. On the ties running lengthwlse
were laid oak stringers, as they were
called, to support the rails. These
stringers were timbers about six inch
es square and from twenty to thirty
feet long. They were held In place by
ash pins about an inch In diameter,
which were driven through holes bored
In the strlngers and ties. The rails
were mere straps of iron about two
and a half inches wide and a half to
three-Quarters of an Inch thick. The
straps were fastened to the stringers
with spikes driven through their center
and the heads of the spikes were coun-
tersunk so that the straps presented a
smooth surface upon which the wheels
revolved.
The tie Of which | speak had been
taken from the track in 1866, after
thirty years Of use. had passed into
possession Of its present owner and
been used as a post to support a grape
trellis, where 1t has stood for thirty
five years. 1t is still sound, except
around the holes near each end, where
there are signs Of decay.
IL think II enough material Of this
kind could be gathered 1t would be a
good idea to construct a track after this
old pattern as part Of the Illinois ex-
hIbit at the St Louis exposition"
