Immigrants Left TO Starve.

NJ Dygasiuski, a correspondent of the
Warsaw Courier, has just returned to
London from Brazil, where he made a
tour of the provinces of Sac Paulo, Pa
rama and Santa Catharina. He
says that the Brazilian govern
ment decided, some time ago, to
import 100000 emigrants and that
the North German Lloyd Steamship
Company had already landed 10000
immigrants, receiving 500 marks each
for them. The immigrants were not
allowed to found colonies, but were scat
tered in the forests of the interior
and left to their fate, to die of
hunger, fever or snake-hite, or
to be devoured by wild beasts.
A few retraced their steps to Rio
Janeiro, begging on the way AT Rio
Grande the correspondent found 700
emigrants in a dying state huddled in Il
wooden chapel, while thousands were
camping in the streets of the cities
through which he passed, or in the for

The largest suits for libel ever brought
in the Minnesota capital were Med at
st. Paul, on the 10th, by lenatius Don
nelly, the author of the cryptogram,
and senator from Dakota County,
against cxCongressman w. 5. King and
the st. Paul Pioneer Press. They are
for 100000 each. The suits are the
outgrowth of the agitation in the legis-
lature of the charge that Senator Wash
burn purchased his seat two years ago.
AS an offset to these charges, Mr.. King
wrote and the Pioneer Press published
IL column letter in which numerous
charges are made that Mr.. DonnelIy re-
ceivcd stated large sums of money for
his vote and influence, both in the
United States Congress and in the Min
ncsota Legislature, between the years
1870 and 1880. The suits, it is promised,
will develop some interesting testimony
in regard to the methods of leading
Minnesota politicians.

ON the Western Slope.

Fire on the 18th destroyed in the
ncighborhood of $500, 900 worth of prop
erty, and caused the death of John Nc
Cannon, Il fireman, at New Westminster,
Wash. The fire started in the prem
ises occupied by f. Stirsky, iewelcr, and
the whole block Of buildings was soon
nblaze. For two hours the tiremen
fought the flames, and were just getting
them under control when an explosion
in one of the stores broke almost every
pane of glass within a radius of half q
mile, and burst all of the hose pumping
on the fire. The Masonic Temple ad-
jacent had, up to this moment, been
considered safe, but the breakage of
windows caused Il draught which sucked
the flames inward, and in minute the
whole interior was atire. 1t was II four
story brick building valued at $4,000.
McCannon was buried beneath its walls,
and another man is reported to be be-
meath the ruins.

The Columbia Daily Calendar.

An old friend in a new dress, and an arti-
Gle that has come to be one of the indispen-
sables of an editors desk, comes to hand
in the Columbia Daily Calendar for 1892.
The calendar is in the form of a pad con.
tanning 367 leaves, each 5sx2s inches; one
for each day of the year, to be removed
daily, and one for the entire year. The day
OF the week, of the month, and OF the year
are given, and each slip bears a short para
graph pertaining to cycling orsome kindred
subject. At the bottom of each leaf is a
blank for memoranda, every leaf being ac-
cessible at any time. The stand is an en-
tirely new departure. being made OF sheet
metal finished in ivory black, and is very
compact. At the close OF the year the
stand will be available for another pad.
This is the seventh issue OF this o WELL
known calendar. yet all the matter is fresh
and new, having been carefully collatsd
from leading publications and prominent
writer's, most OF it being specially written
for this purpose. 1t comprises events in
cycling, opinions Of physicians and clergy
men, hints about road making, and numer-
Gus other topics.

as we have often heard it expressed: "As
right We distinctly remember a windy
incident that occurred a couple Of years
ago when Judge DeFrate lived in Philbrook.
The judge not being of a very robust frame
a gust OF wind one morning chucked him
down the river embankment ut the foot of
Main street. The judge made many at
tempts to regain the level Of the street
above, but az many times failed. 1t was
late in the evening when the judge was res
cued from a watery grave, the tide already
having reached his feet.
Seriously, the clatter and bang Of the
wind is very wearing on ones nerves, yet
the wind as much as any one thing has
made the Judith Basin what it is today
the greatest sheep country in the world.
In the last issue OF your iovial contem-
porary OF the east side We noticed what ap-
peared to US a very peculiar advertise
ment. The ad advertisement stated that
there was wanted at hotel in Maiden
a woman to cook." We are thus led to be-
lieve that the usual source OF supply-the
steer-has become somewhat scarce in that
locality. If the Maidenites persist in this
estheticism in ~gastronomy it would open
up a great industry, not only in Fergus
county, but throughout the entire state.
What a boon to the man who lives with
his mother-in-law, She of course would be
selected to do the correct thing for the
Maidenites via the seething cauldron. My.
what a bother the old girl would make Of
herself giving advice as to how the cooking
should be done. We can well imagine her
as she prepares to sink into the soup for
the third and last time poking her head
through a rift in the smoke and steam and
feebly exclaiming, Don't forget the salt
and pepper"

Ola Boreas probably drew a great prize
in some lottery, or mayhaps unloaded at
a fancy margin a block Of stock in the
Rambling Bowel mine, to have raised

take fresh hope. The elevator" a lofty,
loose ~iointed, ranshackle building,-so
named from a fancied resemblance to an

erected in Philbrook. The elevator and

say, or companion pieces, for they stood
