fury or more. Mrs. Williams, in her

asylum from Sept, 1895, to Dec, 1896,

charged. His arrangement was caus-
ed by illness and was brought on by

1t is said that the wheat crop of the
world in 1897 was nearly 20 per cent.
below the crop Of 1894, while that of
the United States was larger than for
any year since 1891. The farmers got
good price for it., and those who held
on to their crop through the winter
realized handsome profit this spring.
And it is significant fact, that in
spite Of all the Populists have had to
say about the farmer being ground
down and being pauperized, larger
number have been able to hold their
wheat crop this last year than ever
before. A good many sold their stock
of wheat as it approached the dollar
mark, but many others have held IN
til lately, and good deal of wheat is
being marketed under present prices.
The present high price will probably
clean the bins out cleaner than has
been the case for years. Through the
northwest the wheat acreage has been
greatly enlarged this year, and all re-
ports are to the effect that the grow
ing crop never looked better at this
period of the season. The cool weather
caused it to stool out and get we'll
rooted, and the rains Of the latter
parJ of last week, followed by warmer
weather, came just at the right time.
A good crop at fair prices would put
the farmers in the best of shape.

The Lake of the Leech

In Northern Minnesota lies Leech
Lake, the third largest lake in the
State and reached via the Northern
Pacific Railway. 1t is a beautiful
sheet of water, very irregular in out
line and on it's shores are the homes of
the Ojibway Indians. An article in
Wonderland '98, published by the
Northern Pacific gives some of the
Indian legends, tells of the very fine
fishing to be found and the luxury of
out of door life among the pine forests
that fringe the lake. There is shore
line of 500 miles, good boats. new and
modern hotels, and the locality is one
of the most healthful in the United
States. Send six cents for Wonder
land '9S, and post yourself about this
spot. CHAs s. FEE, Gen'l Pass. Agent,

A DEMONSTRATION.
The Powers of Europe Again
Talking.

Special to the Daily Free Press.
Washington, May 26. - London
claims to have received information
that NJ. Hanotaux, the French
foreign minister, is making great
effort to stop the war between Spain
and the United States. France,
Russia and Austria are endeavoring
to induce Germany and Italy, to join
in a representation to President Nc
Kinley declaring that the powers will
induce Spain to grant Cuban indepen-
dence. Should America refuse inter-
vention, it is further alleged that the
powers above mentioned would send a
fleet to put Cuba under an interna-
tional rule, as done in Crete, until a
constitutional local government can
be established. The justification for
this to be that the continuance of
the war threatens the general
European peace.

Reduced Freight Rates For Settlers.

In order to encourage the move
ment of settlers and land buyers from
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and the
eastern states to Western Minnesota,
South Dakota and North Dakota, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry.
Co. has very materially reduced it's
carload rates for emigrant movables,
so that farmers who have purchased
lands in Western Minnesota, South
Dakota and North Dakota can take
all of their belongings with them to
their new homes at small expense,
which inducement upon the part Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st, Paul
Ry: will no doubt be greatly arpreciat-
ed by those who are thus bene lifted.
