The Chicago postofiice was the vic
tim of one of the most daring rob
berries that has ever been perpetrated
In that city. Ten thousand dollars is
the, amount believed to have been Sc
cured by the robber. who made his
escape without leaving any clue to his
identity.
Two mail sacks containing the
money, which had just been picked up
from two of the downtown sub-sta-
tions, were left in an unprotected
wagon In front OF the Masonic temple
while the mail carrier went into the
building to gather mail that had ac-
cumulated there. The carrier was
gone only moment, but when he
returned his horse and wagon had dis
appeared. While the carrier had been
in the building, the robber, who evil
IDENTIFY had been waiting his oppor-
tunity, had jumped ilto the rig and
drove away
The street was full Of people at the
time, but no one seems to have no
ticed the thief. The two mail sacks,
cut open, and rihed of their contents,
were found near Kinks soap factory,
fully a mile from the scene of the rob-
berry. The horse and wagon were
found two miles further west, where
the robber had left them standing in
the street. The police and federal au-
thorities were notified less than two
minutes after the robbery occurred
but no trace OF the robber has been Sc
cured
Both the mail bags were full Of reg
istered letters. The postal authorities
are unable TO state the exact amount
stolen, but estimate it at fully $4,000.

even shot at a bear. Try as the hunt
ers would. they could not get bear
within range of the presidents rifle.
Although the president has failed 10
Kill bear on this expedition, he has
enjoyed his outing and speaks in high
praise of the hospitality that has been

he goes after bear he will arrange TO
stay long enough for the luck to

WEALTH OF wCoTERu FARMS.
eountlfuI Crops the Rule fos Many
successive " Nra


successive Y mrs.
The big wheat farms of the Dako-
las are being broken. up into smaller
holdings, and the conditions there are
becoming like those of states farther
south, where the average size of a
farm Is $50 acres. Out of Il all the
farmer Is growing independent. Five
great crop years have Just been ended
on the plains.
Beginning with the crop OF 1897,
the wheat has been good every year.
Not always has 1t been a record-break.
or In every community, but generally
1t has returned a great harvest The
farmer estimates the cost of his crop
at $15o an acre; If he gets thirty
bushels an acre and sells it for so
cents he has a profit Of $3.50 an acre.
On 100 acres it is $3.50; on 1000
acres, $7,50O-and there are many
hundred farmers with the latter acre
ege.
What have they done? A. Miner
came to York county, Nebraska. ten
years ago with just enough to buy
eighty acres Of land. He lived in a
sod house, and lost everything In the
lard times OF the early nineties. Now
be owns 72O acres of land, lives IN q
ten room house and has a bank ac-
count. A man named Harnady rented
a farm In Seward county, that state,
seven years ago; now he owns the
farm and has $4,000 in bank. J. S.
Eollinger came to central Kansas
poor; he raised wheat chiefly; he died
few months ago worth with the ac-
foundations of his family of boys,
100000. The Miller brothers rented
land OF the Ponca Indians, in Okla
homa, five years ago, and put in wheat
and raised stock. They are making
$4,000 annually clear profit. Hun
dreds OF instances might be mentioned
OF farms that have been paid out OF
the crops of one or two years.-Les-

The Colonial form of house build
ing becomes increasingly more popu-
lar as its merits are more widely
known. The tendency toward snowy
style and cheap establishment is
waning, and noticeable return is
being made to the simpler and sound
er qualities of the eighteenth and
nineteenth century houses along the
Atlantic coast. The qualities that
characterize houses of this type are
applied with good results in the
model Colonial house which is illus
trated in the DeLineator for March,
with floor plans. A number of pic
lures, showing the interior of such
house with furniture, are distinct
aid to the understan ding of the plans.

DEATH Of ColOoel BevjA,

The sad news OF the death OF Colo

last Monday. He passed away at the
Union Hotel last Sunday afternoon
at about four o'clock. Some weeks

accident on the Como road, and his
life was for time dispared of, but
he recovered, only to be stricken
with pneumonia last Friday.
Colonel Boyle was a native of Ire

neer of this coast, and one of the
most prominent mining men in this
State. For the past two years he
had been engaged in doing some ex.
tensive development work in Como

deceased were shipped to San Fran.
