mond's Lightning Remedy for rheu-
1natism for one week, the pain had
almost left him entirely. He slept
better, had no more night sweats,
and appetite was good. He also
wrote that he would not take 800

him. There is no waiting weeks and
months to get satisfaction. The
remedy attacks the disease at once.

The Mississippi River.

Somebody has gathered the fol-
lowing facts concerning the Missis-
sippi river, which our readers may
find interesting. An old spelling of
the Indian name is "Michi Sepe," the
"Great Father of the Water" The
true Mississippi begins at the juno
ton of the Missouri and Upper Mis-
sissippi, few miles above St. Louis.
There are i've main tributaries: the
Upper Mississippi, the Missouri, the
Ohio, the Red, the Arkansas. the
White, and the st. Francis. From
the mouth of the Missouri to the
Gulf is 1886 miles; from the head Of
the Upper Mississippi, 2616; from the
head of the Missouri. 4194; from the
head of the Ohio, 2551. The alluvial
plain extends from the Delta to
twenty miles above Cairo on the
Ohio, and to Cape Girardeau. Mo.
where are the, first rocky bluffs.
The Upper Mississippi is clear; the
Missouri. a. muddy white; the Ohio,
greenish; the Arkansas and Red, red
ochreous. The amount of soil year.
ly carried into the Gulf by the river
would cover Il square mile to the
depth of 241 feet. For 10000 miles
from New Orleans the average width
of the river is 5000 feet. TO enjoy
the beautiful scenery OF the Upper
Mississippi, buy your ticket to
Chicago or st. Louis over the Bur-
lington, which runs for 300 miles
along the east bank. Your home
agent can supply your wants; if not,
write to w. J.C. Kenyon, Gen. Pass.

INCREASED IMMIGRATION.

A. E. johnson, of the well
known land firm of A. E. John.
son & Co., has just returned from
a trip to England, the continent
and Scandinavia. He is regarded
as being particularly we'll in.
formed about prospective immigra-
ton, and the following quotation
from his remarks in an interview
published in Mondays Minneap-
oils Journal will be read with in
terest:
"All reliable reports agree that
emigration from the Scandinavian
countries and northern Germany
to the Northwest will be 40 and
perhaps so per cent greater than
during last year. The increase IS
not due to fictitious inducements
but is largely due to the return Of
the thousands to their homes-the
homes of thousands Of well-to-do
settlers and farmers who give tes-
timony ofcontentment and success
in the Northwest. While we GER
tainly sympathize with our less
fortunate sister states In the West
which are suffering from disas-
trous crop failures, it is plain that
the Northwest will be the gamer
by this condition as the volume Of
immigration for the time being at
least will diverge to the Southwest
and to the Northwest.
Regarding the domestic emf
grafton, we need not build on the
future but take the facts as they
exist. There is a great and very
earnest inquiry by mechanics and
trades people in large cities for
farm lands in the Northwest The
demand is not so much for land far
distant from available markets for
such as is within reasonable dis
lance of the Twin Cities and can
confidently predict that within the
next few years, as many small
farmers will come to central and
northern Minnesota as We have re-
ceivea in the past five years.
There is great rivalry for the
most desirable class Of immigra-
ton into various parts Of the
West, Southwest and Northwest.
It is universally conceded by the
intelligent class of people that the
Northwest offers the greatest adj
vantages and the best opportuni-
ties for Scandinavians and Ger.
mans, as these national are &C.
customed to live where there are
four seasons to the year.
eve pioneers who have spent
40 years of our lives IN the North
west are entirely satisfied with
our condition, and the results of
our labors and it is with absolute
confidence that we invite the
newer generation to follow in our
footsteps. 1t is the great North
west that has made it possible for
us to accomplish what we have
done and looking backwards we
are glad and thankful that it was
our good fortune to be directed in
our early days to section OF the
great republic where honest labor
receives it's just reward.'
