SOLVING THE FUTURE WEI
FARE OF THE CONTINENT.
This Is What Is Now Being Done on
the Fertile Prairies of
Western Canada.

The rapid progress that is being made
in the settlement of the fertile prairies
of western Canada is leading to the in
yestigation of its resources by those
interested in having provision made for
those living in the crowded east. for
those who have been struggling for
years on impoverished farms, for the
renter who is unable any longer to bear
up under the strain imposed by the
landlord, and for the farmer who un-
able to purchase farms for his sons in
his own neighborhood has to look
around for lower priced lands. The in
yestigation shows that it is impossible
10 meet these conditions successfully
outside of western Canada. Already
millions of bushels of wheat are being
grown there each year, while as many
as $4,000 head of cattle were shipped
out this year. A representative of the
Germania, Milwaukee, one OF the lead
ing German papers in the United
States, recently made a trip through
Manitoba, Assiniboia. Alberta and
Saskatchewan, where lie the free gov
eminent lands of western Canada, and
in a future issue will appear extracts
from dattering letters contributed TO
the Germania and other papers by their
special correspondents.

HIS SPECIALITY.
An Itinerant Vender of Ice in CHICAGO
Who Had a PecuI-
lar Cry.

1T is queer what devices men will resort
to IN order to sell their wares said well
known man about town yesterday. "Adver-
tlslng Is quite science these DAYS, but a
TREND OF mine from the South side tells a
good yarn OF an ice dealer. This dealer was
one OF those wanderers who have a few
pounds OF ice IN a spring wagon and who
have no regular customers. They haunt the
alleys on hot days bawling their wares after
the regulars have made their rounds. They
pick up quite a few nickels in the course
Of day.
1t was one of the hottest days of the late
fall, Sunday, and the regular wagons had
long since retired for the day. Nv friend
was about half out of ice and placed his fate
IN the hands OF the peripatetics. He was on
watch to nail the first one who came along.

the alley. My friend went forth. waited and
was rewarded. The dealer was colored

What kind Of ice is thatT asked nv
friend, obviously.
Cold ice, sir; it's the coolest ice in town.
Well, I'd take some if / wasn't afraid
the heat would spoil it, was the retort, as
my friend turned to reenter the house. The
colored man looked after him In amazement
but made no reply. He proceeded on his
rounds, but changed his cry, for he seemed
to fear the GOODNESS would prove a hoodoe

Deafne.s Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that

THE RIGHT IDEA.
Councilman Skinner Says More
Money Should Be Spent
On Keeping the Streets Clean
and Less Money
FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Meeting of the City Council
Held Last Night.
Council Invites @. A. R. to Hold
Its Reunion Here.
FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

Councilman Skinner gave the SANTA
ry department another turn at the
council meeting last night.
When the bill for the salaries of san
itary officers came up, Mr.. Skinner no
ticed that it was $50 more than it had
been for several months.
Il would like to inquire why more
money was spent in that Department." 2"
he inquired.
I win explain that" said city Ply
sician Mitchell. About the middle Of
in need Of cleaning, and went to May
or Fellows and he instructed me to put
on two men. and did so.
They have been serving notices ever
since.''
Councilman Skinner-Now, I want to
say a few words as a tax payer. I was
not elected by the politicians, and my
interest is therefore, with the tax pay
ers, and when can put my shoulder to
the wheel to help them out, 1 will do it.
I have been making an examination of
the books in the sanitary department
and I found that from February 1 to
February Is, just three notices were
served by the sanitary officers. 1 think
we had better spend little less in sal
aries of sanitary officers and more on
the streets, especially in muddy wealth
er. I have been ashamed to see women
trying to get across crossings with the
mud almost ankle deep am IN IdNOE
of spending more money on the streets.
Councilman Stephenson-It looks to
me as if we need a few sanitary officers
according to the report of Mr.. Skinner.
I think that we have too many men on
dress parade.
City Physician Mitchell slipped out OF
the room, but soon returned. When
he came back he begged permission to
speak
i feel" said he, that statements
have been made here tonight which ser
iously reflect upon my department, and
I will not allow the statement to pass
unchaIIenged. I find from examining
the records that 1873 sanitary notices
were served in February"
L spoke only of the time before the
18th Of the month"; said Councilman
Skinner.
4 can explain why more notices were
not served early in the month said Dr.
Mitchell. THE early days of the month
were cold and the ground was frozen
and it was not necessary to do any
thing"
Councilman Stephenson, who had
made a motion to investigate the con-
duct of the department. here withdrew
his motion and the matter was dropped.
