Mr.. George Mason met with a
very distressing accident at his logging
camp some miles east Of town last
Wednesday. He was working with
his team when on hard pull one Of
the whitfletrees broke and one end fly
ing back struck his leg breaking both
bones. He was brought to town on
on the five o'clock Omaha express and
taken to the residence of his mother,
Mrs. Head, when medical aid was
summoned and he was made as com
Portable as possible under the circum-
stances. Mr.. Mason had put in a
good winters work and was about
ready to break camp and return to
town when overtaken by this distress
ing accident which will lay him up for
the better part of the summer while
it will eat up the profits of his camp
work. George has the sympathy of
many friends in bis atiliction. Doctor
Mckay has the patient in hand.

sounded for a blaze at 5i5 East Su-

in subdulng the flames before the
structure was entirely consumed. The
house is an old landmark, having been
built by J. d. Ray about twenty-five
years ago. Jay Cooke and other cell

times gone by.

There were twelve offices to be
filled last Tuesday, and we had thirty
three candidates for the places. Nine
good ablebodied men declared them
selves ready to sacrifice themselves
as supervisors. Under such circum-

a number of good men got left, in
the race.

Now that the smoke of the bat
tie has cleared away, let the new Of
ficials enter upon their duties with the
full determination of making a good
record for themselves, not forgetting
that the victors and the vanquished
alike are interested in the common
cause of progress and good local
government. We do not suppose any
one likes to he defeated in political
contest, or in any other laudable I'M
dertakiag yet we feel just as confident
that not one of the defeated candidates
in the contest of Tuesday would lay a
straw in the way to impede any meri-
torious undertaking OF the new officials.

penditure Of the public money is all
that is asked or required from the in
coming or any other administration.

She Was a Daisy.

He had been telling me in confidence
how badly he was smitten. She was a
pretty little blonde spinster, and she had
caught him.
She's beauty, isn't she?" he SAID
as he pointed her out to me one day.
Eyes. She's rather good-looking."
Rather good-looking! She's the
prettiest woman in San Francisco, and
she's all mine"
'Have you asked her?'
''Oh, no. I've never spoken to her. -"
"How do you knowP"
''Oh, by looks and chances and lots
of things She is so demure to every
body else, and SO quiet; never looks at
anybody but me-"
"Oh.''
mo. I've watched her closely, and
! feel she loves me-"
This was some weeks ago. The other
day we were walking up Kearny street
together and the pretty blonde spinster
came along.
There she is. Isn't she beauty
Watch her bow to me-"
As she neared us kind of confused
look passed across her face. The street
was crowded, and we naturally inn
puted it to the self-consciousness of I'M
expressed and secret alteration. She
raised her eyes, swept them gently
around the crowd, and as they met his
she bowed. Instantly three men in
front, four men behind, and probably
two or three more farther up, raised
their hats. The eight men glared at
one another, and it was evidently be-
lieved he was the sole object of her
affections.
YES" l said, "she's daisy"
But he did not answer-San Fran

THE PARLIAMENTARY LIBRARY AT OTTAWA.
We Americans are far too ignorant about
our friendly neighbor. Canada consists of
more than the St. Lawrence river, the
Lachine rapids, pine logs, snow, troublesome
fishing grounds and imported American
thieves. Ottawa, the seat of government, i
pleasant little city of $4,000 people, and 6
good place to learn of Canadian resources
Ottawa Is not pretty city, and is especially
lacking in the attractive homesteads on
meets with in American towns of like size
1t has, however, beautiful pariiamen,
buildings on one of the finest sites in the
world The architecture, as you will notice
is light and graceful The library is called
the "most beautiful building for the purpose
in America" The interior reminds one OF
the rotunda in the Capitol at Washington
only it is not so vast, and is made wonder,
fully attractive and homelike. Directly in
the center is a good marble statue of the
queen, as young woman. These buildings
stand on a high elevation overlooking the
Ottawa river. In the distance, to the north
and the east, "a range of low mountains form:
foreground to the ever varying sky. Tn
sweep of the eye extends over miles Nearer
are the Chaudiere falls and rapids, where can
be seen great saw mills in operation.

OTTAWA, July 12.-"It Is rather surprising
that you Americans know so little about oul
country" Such was Canadian officials
remark to me shortly after reaching Ottawa.
Before telling anything about Canada, il
will be matter of interest to know that all
who live in the United States are called
"Americans" To dweller in the states who
is of the firm conviction that the United
States are the sum total of America, and that
Canada and Mexico are mere outlying dis.
tricts, such an appellation is fiattering. How
ever, soon learned that it was only a con-
venient way of designation. "A United
Statesman" or "a man from the states" would
consume too much time and waste breath. In
fact, a Canadian likes to mount his lion and
say: "Look at me, at my country, and al
what can do" just as much as an American
delights in straddling the eagle and asking
the world to gaze a. the most progressive an(
biggest affair under the sun.

It will astonish the reader to learn tina

world. Nor is it all frozen region covered
with snowdrifts The agricultural and tim
bered lands cover an area of 1900, 900 square
miles, of which 100000 square miles are
suitable for the production Of wheat, and the
wheat regions Of Manitoba are claimed by the
Canadians to be the finest of the world. The
development of that vast Northwest Is yet in
its babyhood, but the fine yield of so bushels OF
wheat to the acre and the extra fine quality
are new grounds for Canadian self imitation.
Patriotic citizens are also proud of the fact
that Canadian iron ore is finer than that found
in the states. Much of the ore is sent from
the Dominion to Pennsylvania and there
mixed with inferior ores in smelling. Canada

legislative bodies Of the world with lead pen.
