A Duel of BIankets.

4 returned missionary from south
eastern Alaska tells in the Midland
Christian Advocate Of a strange Gus
tom among the Indians of that region:
When a difference arises between two
of them and friendly settlement
seems impossible one of them threat
ems the other with dishonor. He will
cover the face of his foe with shame.
He executes his threat by tearing up
a certain number Of his own blankets.
The only way his antagonist can get
even with him is by tearing up great
er number of his own. If the contest
is prolonged, 1t results in the destruc-
tion Of all the blankets they have,
each Indian destroying his own. The
ore who destroys the greater number
is regarded as having won the fight.

1t is very probable that soldiers hav-
Ing typhoid fever in the army will be
coming home in such state Of health
as TO endanger communicating the
disease to otherS--at least, indii ectly.
1t is altogether wise to take every
precautionary measure TO preventany
caSeS-even a single One-frnm becOm-
ing affected by others. And especially
is it desirable To be exceedingly care
full about the water used for drinking
aud domestic purposes. The cause Of
communication can be destroyed by
disinfectants, especially by boiling,
Many cases this coming Quarter-Sep
TENDER, October and NOvember-may
be positively avoided by using only
water that haS been boiled. The little
trouble taken in this way as a pre-
tentative measure may save a hundred
fold Of labor, suffering and death.
County health officers will make
these matters as public as possible
County boards of health are especially
requested to give this matter Their
attention and notice.

THE GILLETT FAILURE.
Thousands Of Cattle Have Been Taken
from the Ranch Near Neutrality-suspicious.
of Cattle Dying Not Exaggerated.

Woodbine, Kan, Dec 1.-The
frantic efforts of the creditors of Grant
G. Gillett to seize all the property of
the ex-cattle king are now complete as
far as Woodbine is concerned. Thou
sands of head of cattle have been
taken away since Gillett threw up the
sponge, and what property that the
sheriff of Dickinson county has not
seized has been taken by the men who
hold Gilletts notes. Not more
than 300 cattle remain on the
ranch which drew buyers from all
parts of the west and which in its day
has supported %, 900 head. The stories
told of cattle dying here of exposure
and hunger are not in the least eXag-
gerated. The banks of Lyons creek,
along which the II corrals are located,
are strewn with dead stock worth
from $50 to $50 per head.
The animals have not been fed regu-
larly since last Friday, and, being con-
fined by heavy barb-wire fences, have
died in the cold like sheep with the
murrain. Cows are so weak that the
drovers knock them down with the
lash Of the whip, and the poor brutes
are so far gone that they never rise
again.

SOLVING THE FUTURE WELL
FARE OF THE CONTINENT.
This Ii What IR Now being Done ON
the Fertile PraiRles OF
WeateFn Canada.

The rapid progress that is being made
in the settlement of the fertile prairies
Of western Canada is leading to the in
vestigation 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 UNI
able to purchase farms for his sons in
his own neighborhood has to look
around for lower priced lands. The in
vestigation shows that It is impossible
to 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 future issue will appear extracts
from fattering letters contributed to
the Germania and other papers by their
special correspondents.
AS an inducement for immigrants to
make their homes in Canada, the Cana
dian government offers 100 acres Of
land free Of cost to each settler, and in
formation can be had of agents of the
government.
