The Ontario disturbance is now NOV
ing down the st. Lawrence valley, &C.
companied by scattered showers and high
winds in the great lakes region and the
northern portions of New York and New
England. The disturbance in the north
west is gradually developing, but it has
not yet caused any precipitation east of
the Rockies, but considerable rainfall is
reported in the north Pacific coast re-
gion
1t is probable that the tropical disturb
ance is now in the southern portion of
the Gulf of Mexico, but it's strength can
not at the present time be determined.
The temperature has fallen slightly in
the great lakes region and upper Mis-
sissippi valley, but with the exception OF
the northern portion of the lake region
and the Pacific coast districts, the tenn
peratureS are far above the seasonal nor
NAL over the entire country. In the east
ern portion of the corn belt Saturday the
temperatures were as high as so degrees,
while in Kansas and Oklahoma they ex-
ceeded 80 degrees.
Generally fair weather is indicated for
the greater portion of the country east
of the Rockies for the next two days, al
though in the western lake region and the
upper Mississippi valley unsettled weather
is indicated in advance of the western
disturbance as 1T moves eastward.
The temperature will be lower in the
north and middle Atlantic states Sunday,
but warm weather is indicated generally in
the interior, and especially in the corn
belt. In the latter section there is no
indication whatever of approaching frost.
Storm warnings are displayed on
Lakes Huron. Erie and Ontario, and on
the Maine coast.
The winds along the New England coast
will be brisk west to northwest; on the
middle Atlantic coast moderate north
westerly: on south Atlantic and gulf
coasts light BILE: on the lower lakes
moderate northwesterly, becoming vari-
able, and on the upper lakes variable,
shifting to easterly, gradually increasing,
mostly moderate.

SURPLUS IN TREASURY
SHOWN FOR SEPTEMBER
First Month in Fiscal Year
Uncle Sam Lived With
in His Income.

Uncle Sam balanced his books and
counted his cash yesterday for Septem-
Der, and found that for the first time since
the present fiscal year began-July 1.-The
government has taken in more money in
a month than it has been obliged to pay
out. ...-..
The cash drawer showed balance of
81. AGO. 10 over all disbursements. If
the payments on the Panama canal work
and the public. debt could be excluded.
the surplus would be So, 456, As. mas
much as the close of July showed some
S14. 100000 more spent than was received
and the close of August had brought the
months deficit down to less than So, 600,
900, Treasury officials were gratified
when the accountants finally finished the
long columns and showed the government
nearly 81 100000 ahead on the month.
There was a deficit of nearly $4,000 900
for the corresponding month last year.
To date the total deficit for the fiscal
year is S15,91O,66O as against q COR
responding total deficit of $32, 169,315 last
year, at this time.
Receipts Larger; Expenses Less.
- The favorable showing can be attribut-
ed to larger receipts and smaller expendi-
lures. The first two months of a fiscal
year are always drain, and it is usually
three months before the Treasury rights
itself. Total receipts for the month were
500, 9SS,57s, and disbursements $52,527,OO6
The expenditures were a good 600
less than Augustus, and the receipts were
around 81, 100000 greater.
There were sharp advances in customs
receipts bringing the revenue collected
from that source alone this year more
than $S1 100000. More than So, 600, 900

played they have come out winner and
the locals will have to hurry to break
into their string of laurels.

he won the most remarkable race ever
credited to a trotter of that age, TAX
ing first honors in an eight heat con-
test from a field,o of aged trotters of
the 2:17 class, the battle extending over
two days, Cresceus won the last three
heats, and his positions for the entire
race were z, 2, 2, 2, 10, 1, 1, /, the time

PREACHERS WASHED
As White AS SNOW

In what proved to be a pitchers
battle from start to finish, with Baker
and Forth on the points, the agricul-
tural college yesterday won the city
collegiate championship, by defeating
Fargo college to 0. With the grand
stand well filed with followers Of both
teams there was some lively roofing
and despite the fact that Old Sol hid
his face most of the time the college
boys played clever ball. For five and
3 half innings they played errorless
ball, which, coupled with the excellent
work of the pitchers, made the game
interesting.
Forth, who is something Of a no.
vice in the box, looks good. Only two
hits were made off his delivery. He
was little nervous and wild, pass
ing three men, but with more work he
should develop into a fast pitcher.
The old reliable Baker hurled for
the A.sC., allowing three hits and pass
ing one man. Thayer, the Preachers

What has astrology got to do with
the big fight? A great deal, it would
seem. if you look at the birthdays of
the fighters. The signs of the zodiac
are twelve in number, but there are
only seven planets. The names of
the planets are Mars, Mercury, Jupiter,
Sun, Moon, Venus and Saturn. Mars
and Mercury are the fighting signs,
with Jupiter third in aggressiveness.
The majority of the fighters of the
world were born under these three
signs, but best known of them were
born under the first two. Strange is
1t not?

tanned the fastest record of his day,
2:02A, beating the best previous mark
a full second.
6. He lowered the two mile record
for trotters from 4:2SA to AIT, the
only time he started at that distance,
and his record still is the best. This
was done when Cresceus was past
his prime and with no special prepar-
alton for such task. Still Cresceus,
always a horse above ordinances,
stepped the first mile in 2:01A and the
second in 2:06A. That he was then
far short of his top speed was shown
by the fact that three days before the
two miles test Cresceus was started
to beat 2:O4,.a the best he could do
was BOSE. To come back the same
week and go two miles at an average
of 2:0S1a shows what whale among
horses Cresceus was in the matter of
stamina.
