THE REU RIVER VALLEY.
It Proves to be Very Rich Indeed, and
Good Many are Going there to Settle
Among them Hon, p n RahiIv

For some years prejudice has ex-
listed in the minds of those seeking
homes on the frontier, against what
are known as the breckenridge
Flats extending from C0rton. on the
main line of the st. Paul and Pacific
railroad, to the Red river. 1t was De-
lieved by many that the lands were
too flat, wet and cold for agricultural
purposes. and hence the tide OF immi-
grafton passed by them, and the set
tiers sought homes. strange TO say.

lower down the stream. Within the
past few weeks, however. all this has
been changed. Mr.. Wellington of
Wisconsin. who opened a large farm
near Norris. made 4 special inspec-
ton of these lands. and came to the
conclusion that they had been mis-
wheat lands. and he and his friends
secured Il large number of sections
near Campbell. Subsequently The
p. II. Rahilly. the leading farmer of
WabaShaw county. made four differ
ent trips to the region in question,
and with spade In hand made careful
and thorough examination of the
quality Of the soil. The result WAS
that he declared the land equal in ev-
cry respect to the choicest wheat lands
in the state and he has secured about
10000 acres around Tinlab station.

REMARKABLE BIRTH.

The most remarkable birth ever
known in the accouchments occurred
near Shanesville, recently. Mrs.
Mccormick gave birth to FIVE healthy
children, four of whom were boys and
one girl The medical works give but
few instances of such wonderful
births. and when they do occur the
children have scarcely been known to
live. LII tn case the mother and
children are, in the common language
on such occasions, ''doing well. The
community down there is excited, and
the famous father is the hero of all
the country around about, and his
fame viii spread on the wings of the
wings OF The newspaper from one end
of the country to the other. His
home is already an object of Pilgrim
age FOR al the old women of the re-
gion.
Two births each of four children
have occurred within the last fifteen
years near this region, but this out
does all tn" recorded occurrences in
the United States.

a MONK ~ STORY

One Of the best monkey stories we
have seen is in contained in London
Mature. 4 brave. active, inteli-
gent terrier. belonging to q lady, one
day discovered monkey belonging
to an itinerant organ-grinder, seated
upon bank within the grounds, and
at once made dash for him. The
monkey, who was attired in jacket and
hat. awaited the onset with such un-
disturbed tranquility that the dog
halted within Il few feet of him to
reconAOiJre. Both animals took Il
long. steady STARE at each other, but
the dog evi !ently was recovering
from his surprise, and about TO make
il spring for the intruder. At this
critical juneture. the monkey, who
had remained perfectly quiet hitherto,
raised his paw gracefully saluted
the dog by lifting his hat. The effect
was magical; the dog head and tail
dropped. and he sneaked off and enter
ed the hanse. refusing to leave it until
he WAS satisfied that his polite bat
mysterious guest had departed. His
whole demeanor showed plainly that
he felt the monkey was something
"uncanny. and not to be meddled
with.

| tie six-year-old boy, Dany. The child
had little dog who was his constant
companion and playmate. When the
accident occurred which resulted in
the drowning of the boy, the dog was
with him, and, by his strange conduct
and uneasiness, he attracted the at
tention of those present. While the
boy was lying at the bottom of the
stream the dog would run to the
child's mother and then toward the
place where the boy was supposed to
be, and finally plunged in and swan
around or over the spot where his
little master lay. After the body had
been placed in the coffin the dog
manifested strong desire to see the
child, and when the lid of the coffin
was raised he licked the dead face,
and seemed to feel intense grief. In
a short time the dog went out to the
railroad track and laid down upon the
road, as it had done many times be-
fore; but upon the approach of the
train he laid himself upon the rail,
and deliberately permitted the train
pass over his body,--being killed.
The whole actions of the dog were
such as to convince one that it was
governed by reasoning powers, and is
another illustration of the remarkable
love or attachment that some animals
have for their masters. The mother,
at the time of the drowning, supposed
the child was at home, and therefore
neglected to obey the hint given by
the dog that might have saved the
boys life.-Lincoln (Neb) Journal.

ness to his judgement. His mind is

tions are in the highest order; he as

How men protesting to be ministers
of that Divine Friend Of the poor,
who when on earth chad not where to
lay his head, can express such senti-
ments. is beyond our power of under
standing. We record those utterances
Of Henry Ward Beecher with shame
and sorrow. That a man whose voice
and pen were almost omnipotent for
the poor and enslaved. should in his
old age become SO hardened to the
suffering which fills the land to-day,
is almost uncomfortable.
Instead OF making suffering educate
men and teach them to bear it, it
should lead them to take such meas
ures as will relieve it. The whole
tendency of the teachings Of the aris-
tocratic class, to which III. W. B. be-
longs, is to enslave men, and make
them willing serfs Of governing
class which, if submitted to, must in
evitably produce a condition in this
country like that of the working and
industrial classes of Europe. This
must not be. The Republic can en-
dure only 50 long as our people are
independent and really free. Its
foundations are insecure to-day be-
cause of the suffering of a once pros
porous and happy people. They will
be strengthened and made firm and

prosperity and independence of the
