Ewing decided the contest against the
ground. The city had no right to buy it.
The coming encampment will be located
on the lower end of this farm. After the
commander of the brigade had finally Sc
leeted the spot, and the official announce
ment had been made, objections were raised
bv a farmer named Brown, who rents that
portion of the land He said the soldiers
would destroy the pasturage for his cows.
Certain gentlemen and officers reasoned
with Mr. Brown, but he was obstinate.
Nice Thing for Farmer Brown.
BE paws rent of $3.50 per year for the
place This week, in consideration of a
check for 81, 900, he agreed to withdraw all
objections to the encampment In other
erds, he will receive for eight days occu-
patton of the farm by the troops enough
money to pay his own rent for four years to
come. The rsilroad company pays the 81, 600.
The ground selected for the encampment
is beautiful plain, beginning at Arnold
station, on the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
and extending from the railroad back to the
Allegheny river. Its extreme width is
1900 feet and its length 5000 feet. 1t is as
level as a floor, with the exception OF
slightly rising knoll at the upper end,
which has already been designated as the
quarters of Brigadier General Wiley and
staf. In this respect, the site is pronounced
by the officers who have seen the place
superior to any camping ground heretofore
used by the brigade. Generally, rayine
or gully has divided some regiment from
another, or the regiments have been staled
of in irregular shape, Here, however, the
regiments viii all be quartsred on an IN
broken plain, with a vast parade ground
extending in uninterrupted area in front
of the regjmental quarters

The soldiers will be quartered along the
river. 4 heavy bush lines the Allegheny

GUATEMALA, June 20.-A great sensa-

that S6, 900, 600 in bonds were issued for the
redemption of Treasury notes, instead of
5000, 900 called for by the decree issued by
President Barrillas to effect the change, 1t
is further stated that Barrillas has sold
S3, 100000 worth of these bonds at 40 per
cent of their face value and poeketed the
money, and has placed the remainder of the
bonds in the Treasury to redeem the notes.
This piece of work has caused great indigna-
tion, and Barrillas has just sent commits
sioners to France to engage French army
officers to take commissions in the Guate-
malan army.
There are now four candidates in the field
for the Presidency: General Mendizopal,
ex-Seeretary of War; Francisco Angulano,
ex-Secretary Of Foreign Relations; Fran

at one time Minister at the same city.

The Jackal as a Snake Hunter.

In the wild regions of Australia you can
find the laughing jaekal, clumsy, noisy
creature, but a great enemy to the snake,
and as there are as many snakes in Aus
tralia as they tell US there used to be in Ire
land, the jackal is bound to be really useful
and is protected by the Government. The
animal jumps about a snake until it can get
a clinch on its neck, when the reptile is
quickly dispatched.

the call and closed the door as he went
out. He had hardly done so when the un-

Tins of the terrible disaster which occurred
near Monechenstein are known to be still

its awful plunge.
Engineers who have made an examination

Griggs county is all right. Hard

ers to leave their farms, nevertheless
Griggs county can spare five or six
hundred citizens and then beat Kid
der county's population. Yes, there
are few left, come again, old man.
By-the-way, Bro. Raymond, why
don't you give the COURIER proper
credit when you clip our editorials.
1t would help us feel more cheerful
in our loneliness. In your issue of
April roth, you have an editorial
which appeared in the COURIER
April 10th, which starts out like this:
"Spring is here, ETC." The only diff:
ference is you substituted Kidder for
Griggs. We hate to kick on so small
a thing as this but then you know we
want credit for our own.

An Ottawa special says: "The
raid of agents of the dominion gov
ernment upon Dakota in the hope of
inducing settlers to emigrate from
that state to the Canadian North
west has turned out a grand fizzle.
The agents in question have reported
to Ottawa that the scheme will have
to be abandoned. From latest ac-
counts, the exodus is the other way,
Dakota becoming populated at the
expense of the Canadian Northwest.
The Dominion government have had
twenty-five men operating i'll Dakota
for the past few weeks, who now re-
port that they pave been sent on a
fruitless mission.

The Northwestern Farmer says
prairie land is best when it has been
broken up between the middle Of
May and the first of July. Then the
luxuriant growth of grass furnishes a
succulent green crop to turn under,
which readily decays and leaves the
soil mellow and light. Earlier than
the first of these dates there is very
little of such growth, and the land
not being yet thoroughly dry,it is
turned over in a compact mass on
which the atmosphere cannot act.
After the latter date the grassis often
dried up and the land remains a mix
ture of dry earth and dry stubble
which can hardly be made into a fit
seed bed for grain. Be less ambitious
to break much than to break proper
ly, and at the right season.

The Winnepeg Free Press asserts
that North Dakota farmers are leav-
ing in multitudes and are pushing
their way way to Alberta for "free
homesteads." The Free Press is un-
doubtedly guilty of gross exaggera-
ton. In North Dakota nothing is
known of this fight of farmers to
Canadian wilds. The North Dako-
tans never had better prospects for
crops than they have this year and
if it is true that any of them have
gone to Alberta, they are parties who
will make a failure wherever they
move. And Alberta is welcome to
them.-Minneapolis Journal.

Recent London Exr.rcssIons.

Two new and startling words are COM
ing across the ocean for the use of that
large and imposing body of New Workers
20 whom the word English is tails
man of invincible value. No man has
ever been able to tell exactly how slang
gets start in London, but it is certain
that when it secures a good circulation
in the small talk of the big English
towns it's appearance here within q short
time is inevitable. Nearly two years
ago everybody in London indulged in
tie expression ''in the movement. T"
Then came Gin it." Nowadays in New
York there is no more scathing comment
upon mans general failure than the
remark that he is mot in it"
This has been surpassed of late by the
poetical simile that the unfortunate man
is like the label on a bottle. As the label
is not in it, the aspersion is severe. The
two new words of the year in London
are ssspoof" and "wide." To spool a
man means to trick him, to comment
and put up wicked trick on him, and
to generally cavort with the more tende,
and trustworthy elements of his nature
When you say that man is "wide' in
London flush of mingled pride and
satisfaction overspreads his face. It il
great thing to be clever, smart, dow
ney, knowing and wideawake, but people
who are all these things are as nothing
compared to the man who is ''wide. y

Grover Cleveland was asked the
other day whether, if he was elected
president in 1892, and a democratic
congress should pass free coinage
bill, he would veto such a measure.
Mr. Cleveland very cautiously replied
that if he should be elected president
in 1902, such a bill would not reach
him until 1894 as congress would not
meet until December 1893, and that
it was bridge he had better not try
to cross until he came to it. That
was pretty smooth answer, and
plainly shows that Mr.. Cleveland
would veto such a measure, but see
ing the disastrous results of his last
letter on the silver question, he is
afraid to speak out for fear of losing
ground in the democratic party. The
Missouri democrats who asked the
questions of Mr.. Cleveland need not
worry he will not be elected president,
neither will they have democratic
congress to pass such a measure.
Either reciprocity Blaine or Grand
pas hat will bury the democratic
party in 1892, ably seconded by the
