MANUFACTURING SITES.

We have for sale a tract of
about Ii acres of land midway
between st. Paul and Mime
apolis, which is perhaps the
best site for factories in either
city. 1t has a spur track rum
ming through it, connecting it
with all the railroads running
into either city, except one,
and also with the Mime
sofa Transfer. 1t is one Of the
few tracts left in the Midway Dis
triet. accessible to good railroad
trackage, large enough to accom-
MEDIATE a large manufacturing con-
Germ, and is therefore very valua-
BILE. The Midway District. trav-
ersed in every direction by railroads
and electric lines, and drawing
population and business from both
cities, is rapidly filling up. and a
few years will see property there
quadrupled in value. 1t is bound
in the near future to become the
great center OF population of our
dual city. and the owners of land
there will be wealthy. We can sell
this fine property very cheap.

The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1892-10-15

IT WILL be remembered that the
Peoples party of Houghton county
endorced the nomination Sof Finn for
member of congress. 1t is announced
this week that the executive COM
mittee Of the Peoples party have with
drawn the name of j. Maurice Finn,
and have substituted therefor John r.
Ryan, of Red Jacket, This action, it is
said, grows out OF the failure OF the
Democrats of this senatorial district to
endorse the Peoples candidate for
senator. 1t seems that there was an
agreement or understanding to ex-
change compliments in this way, and
Democrats failed to carry out their
part Of the deal. The populists will
take to the middle OF the road again.

How They Got In Their Deadly Work In
India.

How They Got In Their Deadly Work In
India.
Favored by the great abundance of
poisonous plants which grow wild
throughout the country, the crime of
poisoning in India appears to be,,still
terribly common; but the strangest
feature in connection with it Is the
frequency of instances of wanton de-
struction of human life by this in
sidious means. $50
In the new edition of Mcssrs. Gribble
and Hehir's well-known work on In
dian medical Jurisprudence, case Is
cited of seventy men who were poi
soned at one time while drinking in Q
native liquor shop in Benarcs the in
toxicating spirit distilled from the
mhowra flower. Forty-three Of them
were conveyed to the hospital and
eighteen died outside. One of the SER
wants In the shop, who absconded.
confessed afterward that he had put
singhers into the pots in which the
mhowra flowers were stepped.
In another instance q young man
who had incurred the censure of his
family by his dissipatcd life proceeded
TO poison them all lie purchased an
ounce of aconite root, which he pound
ed on brick, and thon put the pow
der into the vegetable broth for his
brothers dinner. Four persons par
took Of the broth, and were seized
with the usual symptoms. The brother
died; two women of the family re-
covered. It Is stated that the evil
dence Of the civil surgeon proved that
death was caused by aconitc, and the
crime was brought home to the poi
soner. who was brought to justice.
DIR. Chcvers gives q case from the
northwestern provinces Police Gazette
of a man of ~, who confessed that he
had-so far as he could remember
poisoned twenty-seven persons. He
was, IL is added, q professional dhatura
poisoner.
