Ca.aaa's Only Recourse II Political Unien
with the Unitea States.

OTTAWA. Oct. 16-Premier Abbott is greatly
concerned over tho unmstakable sentiment
rapidly developing In every quarter OF the Do
minion in favor OF political union with the
United States. Several OF the most
ardent supporters OF tho late Sir John
Macdonald have become tho foremost pro-
motors OF the movement leader In the Tory
ranks said to q Bun reporter tonight that, rs
much as he disliked to make the admission.
there was no dlsputing the fact that the only
recourse to save Canada from bankruptcy and
ruin appeared to be political union with the
republic to the south. He pointed out the
failure Of tho Dominion Government to
negotiate trade relations with foreign
countries. their missions to South America.
Spain. Australia. and the West Indies having
proved signal failures. while the restrictions
imposed by the United States upon Canadian
exports promise soon to exclude Canada from
those markets In which. up to now. 45 per cent
Of all the Dominion had to sell had been dis
posed Of
Organizations in every section Of the country
are being completed to lay tho case OF Bank
ruptcy or Annexation sauarely before the
people. and with what success has been shown
by the reception the movement has met with
at Windsor. Belle River. and other points in
western Ontario.
DR.. Brien. ono OF the leaders in favor OF po-
litical union. said. when member Of the Do
minion Parliament. just before the last cleo
ton. that he was an out-and-out annexationist.
and would leave Parliament to announce his
platform. As Liberal he did not desire to take
the initiative step. until no was free from his
party and out Of Parliament so that his action
could not be attached to them.
There are more than 100 seats In Parliament
protested. and within six months there will be
from fifty to seventy-flve elections, in which
the question OF political union with the United
States will DO an important issue.

VAS IT 4 MELBOURNE RAMP
Any Way, II Wasn't Expected by the Gov.
erumcut Observers.

KANSAS CRY. Oct. 16-It is believed that
Rainmuker Melbourne has played q trick on
the local signal service observers. who are
much mysti1ed over a rain which fell here at
$3.50 o'clock this morning. The Indications
for the past three days have been clear and
warmer. and the white flag has been flying for
that time. and Is still up.
At 9 o'clock this morning there was not q
pouring down rain. with heavy wind and
thunder: At it was again clear, and there
was no depression Of the barometer. The OBJ
servers say that the rain was purely from
local causes. as there was nothing to indi-
cate 1t.
1t is now asserted that the rain was due en-
tirely to the efforts Of Melbourne. the rain
maker. who. 1t is alleged. has been working
secretly here Tor the ast three days and

His Foot Was Caught In n Frog and He
Was Killed.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 16.-Conductor James
Little freight conductor of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. was Just concluding his nights work
at Point House road last night when he found
1t necessary to shift his train.
1t had backed down a short distance. and
Little walked up to the switch giving signal
to the engineer at tho other end of the train to
come back. His foot caught In o frog. and
held him fast.
The train moved back slowly. 1t was per-
haps 500 feet away. but no one saw him. and
his cries wore drowned by the rattle OF tho
cars and the putting Of the engine. He must
have thus faced death for fully two minutes
before the back bumper caught him and threw
him under the wheels He was mangled

The Body OF Miss Laura Presbrey Found In
Paradise Pond.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Oct 16.-Miss Laura
Presbrey. tho young lady student at Smith Col
lege who has been missing for several days.
committed suicide by drowning In Paradise
Pond. Northampton. The body was found at
about $3.50 this afternoon.
Miss Presbrey was Taunton girl. She was
a member OF the junior class, and seemed to
have a mania for taking things from her
schoolmates.
Various sums Of money were missed from
time to time by different students. and finally
cused of the thefts and. breaking down. con-
fessed having committed them. The shame
Of being found out and the dread
OF the social ostracism the knowledge
Of her crime was sure to lead to 30 preyed
upon the mind Of the girl that life became
burden. On Monday night she left the college,
and. 1t Is presumed. went at once to the pond
and cast herself into 1t.

The farmers of this section are

fact We are living more at home.
Our smoke houses and corn cribs
are not altogether in the northern
cities. Brother farmers, let us add
a few more acres ofcfover and grass
to our farms. - Plant less cotton,
manure and cultivate it better;
more corn and peas; and improve
our stock and We Will ship some Of
