The land OF Promise

Is the mighty West, the land that
''tickled with hoe laughs a harvest"
the Ell Dorado of the miner; the goal OF
the agricultural emigrant. While it
teens with all the elements of wealth
and prosperity, some of the fairest and
most fruitful portions of it bear harv-
est of malaria reaped in it's fullness by
those unprotected by a medicinal safe
guard. No one seeking or dwelling in a
malarial locality is safe from the scourge
without Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Emigrants, bear this in mind. CONNER
cial travellers sojourning in malarious
regions should carry bottle of the Bit
tiers in the traditional gripsack. Against
the effects of exposure, mental or bodily
oyer-worked, damp and unwholesome
food or water, it is an. infallible defense.
Constipation, rheumatism, billiousness,
dyspepsia nervousness and loss OF
strength are all remedied by this genial
restorative.

A Michigan Judge has rendered
an interesting decision in regard to
the ethics of engagements. George
Rose, of Alpena, was engaged to
Mamie Gage and he gave her di-
almond ring to bind the bargain.
After awhile they quarreIed and he
demanded the return of the ring,
but, like a sensible and practical
girl, she held on to the spoils Of
love. Then he instituted suit for it,
bat when the case came to trial tho
Judge asked George if Mamie had
submitted to his kisses and caresses,
and George admitted that she had.
On the strength of this, says dis
patch from Alpena, the Judge dis
missed the suit, holding that kisses
aud caresses were legal equivalent
for presents most righteous de-
cision, and one that is likely to put
a stop to firtatious FOUNDERS like
George, who attempt to make one
ring do for an indefinite number Of
girls.

following season OF warm weather,
greatly damaged the winter wheat crop,
but is too soon to give even an APPROX
innate estimate of the injury. Even
those IN the best position to judge differ
IN their opinions and are disposed TO
await later and more definite advices.
The crop is thought to have Teen DAM
aged in Western Kansas and Oklahoma,
though ray of hope is found in
the fact that the ground was dry.
Central and Eastern Kansas is reported
to have escaped without serious loss.
Opinions on the Minnesota crop are
contradictory, but it is likely to suffer
it the cold weather is followed by sud-
den thaw. Some farmers think that in
the absence of alternate freezing and
thawing, the wheat has escaped dam
age. 1t is thought the Ohio crop was
not far enough advanced to be injured.
IN Eastern and Central Nebraska wheat
is believed to have suffered severely,
but farther north and west the recent
snowfall has protected the grow
ing plants. It is feared that Indiana
Wheat has suffered considerably, but if
the cold has not reached the roots, as is
hoped, the damage may not be as Sc
rlous rs feared. A report from Sparta,
Ills, says the crop is badly damaged in
one locality to the extent Of 80 per cent.
1t is thought Michigan has escaped
without serious injury. North and
South Dakota are not in the winter
wheat belt. In the latter the melting
snow will benefit spring wheat. In the
former planting is backward and the
acreage of spring wheat will be one
third less than last wear.

~. Paul Police Think They Saved the
Banks From Heavy Loss.
ST. PAUL, March 2S.-The police are
OF the opinion that they saved the bank
lnss and business concerns of this city
from wholesale forgery swindles. St.
Louis last week went through such an
ordeal, and the workings of the gang
hrl1lt, to light some mysterious doings in
-. Paul which are thought to have been
TIE preliminary work of the same band Of
professional swinalers. Two fashion
ably dressed young men recently pre-
sented to the wholesale merchants of
the city contracts for payment for adj
vertising in the United States wholesale
business directory. The contracts
proved to be forgeries, which were so
sklllfully executed that they narrowly
escaped being honored. The police
think that these forgeries We're intended
by the gang as feelers for future work,
and that if they proved successful the
same names would be used on big
checks which We're to have been pre-
sented at the banks. The two Young
men We're ordered out of st. Paul, as
nothing could be proved against them.
Inc detectives believe that they went
from here to St. Louis, where they were
more successful.
