nvDsoHs BAY ROUTE.
The Outlook for Railroad Terminus There Is
very Satisfactory.

Halifax, N. s., Nov S.-The steamer
Diana, which sailed from Halifax, June
last, for Hudson's bay and straits.
carrying a party of government ex-
perts, sent out to report on the tidal
and seasons conditions of that region,
and also taking along James Fisher, M.
p. Of Manitoba, landed two members
of the party at Port Hawkesbury, C..
B., today. These two, Commander
Wakeham and Mr.. Fisher, arrived in
Halifax, tonight.
Mr.. Fisher, 1t has been understood,
went north for the purpose of reporting
on the feasibility of the Hudson's bay
route from Fort Churchill as an outlet
for the products of the Northwest, the
scheme being to construct a railroad
from Winnipeg to Fort Churchill. This
route it is claimed would save a land
carriage Of 600 miles as compared with
Montreal and would also materially
shorten the voyage across the Atlantic
Mr.. Fisher il not disposed to go into
details in regard to what he proposed
to report, but he says the outlook for
the success of such an undertaking is
very satisfactory.
AS already reported. Commander
Wakeham planted the British flag on
an island off Baffins Land. He states
that he found number of Scotch
whalers there, who had doubts as to
what nation the island belonged, and
they were quite satisfied when the
Union Jack was unfurled to the breeze
The commander reports the tides heavy
and the warm season short in the bay
and stats, but that they are clear OF
ice and open to navigation from the
middle Of July to the end of October

on the subject of starting daily paper.
He considered him a, quiet and inof-
fensive boy at all times when he met
him. He said it appeared ridiculous to
him to think about Kelley starting a
daily paper.
City Marshal George T. Heaton of
Somersworth, was called and related
the circumstances of going to the bank
in company with others and finding
Stickney on the floor with his throat
cut, finding the blackjack on the floor
near the victims head, and a piece of
wrapping paper near the door where
the glass had been broken. The black
jack and paper were produced by the
witness.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Edgeriy
he told how Kelley had been engaged
in a magaphone business in the city.

All the logs to be manufactured at the
tidewater mills at or below Bangor are
RATED at the Bangor boom. This year,
the total number handled there has been
100000 feet, 100000 or 100000 more
than IN any previous year. This would
appear to indicate an Improvement in the
lumber trade of the port, but the millmen
say that the actual conditions do not bear
this out. The mills have increased their
capacities without feeling as vet any

A WORD TO PARENTS

For the next thirty days par
ents and guardians will be trying
to decide the important question
of where to send their boys and
girls to school. To those who are
acquainted with the John B. Stct-
son University at DeLand, Fla,
we need not say word. They
know it is by far the best school
in every particular in Florida,
and they further know that, all
things considered, it is the cheap
est. 1t gives more for the price
charged than any other institu-
tion of learning in the state. It
is a serious thing to send children
away from home, and home influ-
ences, to get an education. At
those pretentious high schools
where the students have to seek
cheap board and lodging in pri-
vate families the social surround
ings are not always pure and ele-
vating-sometimes they are very
demoralizing. 1t is impossible to
guard the morals or select the So
ciety of our children when they
go off to school and board out in
town. While in their boarding
houses they are out from under
the control and influence of both
parents and teachers, and are
very often at the mercy of the
town dudes. The most critical
time of life with our children is
when they are being educated,
and their characters are largely
shaped by the company they
keep.
At Stetson University the boys
and girls room in their separate
dormitories and eat at the same
tables. The girls are constantly
under the eyes of the lady teach
ers, who live in the dormitory
with them, while the boys are
controlled and disciplined by the
male teachers who live in the dor
mitory with them. So when our
children go to Stetson University
we know they are thoroughly pro-
tected and tenderly and lovingly
cared for. Their moral and in
tellectual training is not only ad-
vanced along proper lines, but
they are brought into direct con-
tact with the most refined and
elevating society in the whole
country. If we had a thousand
children we would want them all
educated at Stetson University.
We urge those who are thinking
of sending their children off to
school to carefully consider the
superior advantages of John b.
Stetson University. Write to
President John T. Forbes, De-
Land, for full particulars.
