did when he overlooked the fact
that Kean, the Mysterious Stran'
ger, might not understand tho
move made by Mrs. Stark when
she took the grip from before the
tumbline Holmes in the dining
car on The Overland Limited.
Kean did not lose his balance
as the shock came and he at once
followed Mrs. Stark to the end OF
the car and into the vcstlbulc,
where he saw man swinging on
the steps. He could not see who
il was. but he saw the grip swing
toward the man as Mrs. Starl;
went down the steps. He made a
grab for the gri p, held fast TO the
side rail Of the car, and by q
luighty effort he brought himself
and the grip back onto the steps
or the dining car and left Mrs.
Stark and Remington wondering
what happened and blank with
surprise
Ii was all over in a moment
and the train was moving on TO
Oakland before either of the con-
spirators knew really what had
happened. and each thought the
other had the grip.
kcan turned into Pullman in
stead of going back to the dining
car and quickly slid the recovered
grip under the seat in his section,
confident that there would be no
search unless Mrs. Stark was
found on the train.
Holmes rushed through the
train madly, secured 4 telegraph

tclegraphcd TO Woods at the first

POLICE CAPTAIN ACCUSED.
Butte Officer Charged With Serving
Corporation.

Butte.-Charges were filed this of.
ernoon with the police commission
against Police Captain Thomas Nor
ton, alleging that he is actively an
gagged in the service of the Butte
Street Railway Company, and he has
been devoting his time to the recent
cases in court in which the street
railway vas sued for damages. The
charges are v%oluminous, and give
specific instances and also refer to a
certain Offense alleged to be unbecom-
ing to an officer committed at Helena,
where it is alleged the police captain
shot up" the town while intoxicated
and tried to arrest the police of Hell
ena.
The charges are of the most sensa.
tionol nature, and allege that, not only
did Norton approach those who were
to give testimony at the trial, but that
he approached n man whom he SUP.
posed was a juror.
It is current gossip about the city
hall today that from the charges more
serious developments will arise. and
that the cas- recently tried in court
may be given an airing which will
have a bombshell effect.

THE USE OF CANNED GOODS
Quality Will Be Improved by Atten.
ton to Details as Herein Set
Forth.

Commercial canned goods may be
Advantageously bought by the dozen
In the autumn, and they do not seem
to suffer from ever a poor storage
place, provided it is not so damp that
the cans rust through. If dirty or
dusty, the cans should always be
carefully wiped before they are
opened, to prevent accidental soiling
If the contents.
Vegetables and fruits canned a,
home and homemade %jellies, jams, and
similar foods should be kept in dry.
airy storage places, out of direct
light. The cans and jars used should
be of good quality, and all the usual
precautions of good rubber rings iii
they are used), and sc on. should be
aiken.
Canning may also be made use o.
daily for temporary preservation of
foods, and it is especially valuable
where ice-chest facilities are not good.
When making soup stock a large guam.
tity is made as easily as a small, and
the surplus may be poured, while hot,
into fruit jars and sealed. Boiled milk
may be thus canned, and cooked veg,
etables which may be at the time
plentiful or cheap. Mince meat may
also be canned, but it will keep a
long time in an ordinary receptacle If
melted suet be poured over the top.
Such canning, especially of soup
stock or milk, is only recommended
for a few days keeping. and every pre-
caution should be taken that is ia
miliar in the ordinary canning of fruit
Or vegetables.

SOUNDS like A FAIRY TALE
THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CAN.
ADA REAP WHEAT AND
RICHES.

Up in the Provinces of Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov-
inces that compose Central Canada
have such a quantity of land suitable
for the growth of small grains, which.
grow so ~abundantly, and yield so hand.
somely that no fear need be feared
of a wheat famine on this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
n of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultiya-
ton of the lands in these provinces.
Almost any section Of the country will
do as we'll.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:
To buy a section of land, break it
up and crop it, make $17,550 out Of
the yield and $10,SSO out of the increase
Of value all within the short period
Of two years, was the record estab.
lished by James Bailey, a we'll known
farmer within a few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the GAO acres of
land lea Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats.
The wheat yielded 1875 bushels, and
khn oofc v;n1IoI A rEn h,cl>OJ- r1l,z
whole of the grain has been market
ed and Mr.. Bailey is now worth $17,550
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at SIS an acre, and the other
day refused an offer of $35 an acre,
just a SIT advance for the time of his
purchase. The land cost $11,32O in
the first instance. Here are the fig
ures of the case.-Land cost, GAO
acres, at SIS, $11,32O. Wheat yielded
1875 bushels. at 81 cents a bushel,
$16,695. Oats yielded 1850 bushels
at % cents a bushel, 1855. Offered
for land, GAO acres at $35 an acre,
S22,400. Increase value of land, $10,SSO.
Total earnings of crop, $17,550, togeth-
er with increase in value of land a to-.
tai of $2S,540.
1t is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 33h bushels to the acre, and
oats 1857 bushels to the acre. The fig
ures are a fair indication of the aver.
age throughout the district.
Agents of the Canadian Government
in the different cities will be pleased
to give you information as to rates. etc.
