Big Lottery Concern Raided.

Chicago, Nov. Ii. The biggest lottery
a alton in the United States. which
has been running for twenty years, it
is claimed, with headquarters in Chi
cago, was exposed last night by ar
rests in this and other cities of the
country. The United States secret
service men claim the promoters Of
the scheme have made millions of dol
lars and hat there are big men be-
hind it who will be reached through
prosecution of men now under arrest.
Under the name of the Old Reliable
Guaranty Loan e. Trust company the
lottery maintained three luxuriously
furnished offices in Chicago.
The secret service men, from the
records they have obtained expect to
make more than 200 arrests 10 various
cities of the country. An attempt will
also be made to involve the express
companies all over the country as
agents or accomplices under the fed
eral act of 1895, forbidding the opera
ton Of lotteries, as it is believed they
handled the business of the company
with a knowledge that it was a lottery
scheme, in violAtihn OF the law.

PREDICTS MILD WINTER.
Billings Weather Prophet Says Mon.
tana Climate Is Changing.

1.-The rattlesnakes haven't gone to
bed for the winter yet, the beavers
aren't cutting much wood along the
streams, husks Of the corn are light,
and the crops it was feared were
blighted by an early frost are perking
up again. The wind is from the west
and the sun is warm-looks to me by
all these signs a. though We were 20.
ing to have a nice, warm, pleasant
WINTER" said DR.. w. A. Allen in the
Billings Gazette.
IL have a number of theories on the
weather and the climate" continued
the doctor. Zone of them is that if
the wind continue generally from the
west and the weather warm until the
middle of December. there isn't likely
to be much unpleasant or cold weather
after that until February: possibly not
then.
The climate of this portion of the
country i changing anyhow. In 1879
and 1880, me first few years | was
here, there We're months of 40 below
and 30 below weather. Now there
isn't much of any such weather.
Why: Well, my theory is that when
people begin 70 flock to a state and
railroads, are built and irrigation
bitches are dug and trees planted, it
mOderates the climate.
Every cottonwood tree planted
means twenty tons Of moisture which
wasn't there before, every acre cult
waited sets free more moisture, and all
that increases the rainfall and moder-
ates our climate. believe that is
what is making our summers more
rainy and our winter more mild.
"Of course, mild winters are moi an
unalloyed blessing. A clear, cold
winter with a lot of bitter weather
never brings half as much illness as
does a warm, mellow. thswing CHI
mate. The mild winter is always
notable for grippe and pneumonia,
but OF course the sever winter means
more suffering and more bother from
coal scarcity.
But, speaking generally, my pro.
phecy is a warm winter this year: and
if your wife asks for heavy furs, you
can quote mt as saying they won't be
necessary. You'll probably have to
buy them anyhow, but you can make
a strong talk about a warm winter"

Soon after the death of Burbank
wife, his sister and brother-in-law, the
Gracies, had come with their three
children to live with him and to look
after his boy and girl. Trouble be-
tween his family and mine, original
ing in some impertinences Of the old
est Oracle girl, spread from the chill
dren to the grown people, until, when
he went into the White House. he and
l were the only two on speaking
terms. l see now that this situation
had large influence on me in holding
aloof and waiting always for over.

as no doubt he thought also, that the
quarrel was beneath the notice Of
men.
At any rate my family decided not
to come to Washington during his first
winter in the White House. L lived
alone at the Willard. One afternoon
