The statement hes been made 10
me that not one in ten Of our voting

what bimetalism 10, and / have been
asked to define IT,
II is the right to use either OF two
metals for mOney-Rold ard SILVER,
The supply reaches The people
through the mints o. The governments,
by the mlnts being opened TO OO'G oil
that comes. Ths opinion, known ~
the bimetallO opinion, is with thS
government aud the people TO use
either OF the two metals IN the dis
charge OF their obligations. II The
government il paying it, soldiers, ia
employees, its numerous officials OF
other obligations, under bimetalism,
il has the right TO pay in money made

nation, purchasing postage stamps,
or discbArging their obligations 10
each cher, under bimstalisw, they
have the right 10 pay in money made
from either OF the two metals.
II thus places the two metals in
competition with each other TO supply
the demand for money. Thus one
relieves the strain upon tho other--as
one eye relieves the strain upon the
other.
With tho option with the people To
use money made from either Of the
two metals they controlled the de-
mand and placed the demand on the
one that was most accessibls. II
silver grew cheaper they shifted the
demand to 1t and took the demand
away from gold; hence silver rose in
commercial value and gold declined
II gold came 70 be cheaper they, the

Damage to bees by the recent
zero freeze was not figured in any
of the estimates sent out from
central Texas. 1t is large and
will cost great deal to repair.
The apiaries are not fully organ
lied and it is probable that exact
figures will never re obtained.
Bee farms have increased in mum
Der and Importance and a good
deal of capital has has been spent
in equipment and importations of
foreign queens. DR.. Phillips of
Waco lost twenty stands of fine
bees. They were frozen hard in
clusters. Mr.. Fred B. McCor-
mick, who has 500 stands on his
two aparies, lost 80 per cent Of
his bees.
The wild bees in the forest,
building IN hollow trees, as rule
appear to have suffered less than
those in patent or common hives.
Mr.. f. G. Elgin of Waco says he
saved his bees by moving his hives
to the south side of stone wall
and keeping log fire burning on
the north side of the wall all
through the blizzard. In one hive
which touched the wall the bees
were baked crisp and all the honey
melted and ran down on the
ground. The stands which did
not touch the wall did well, and
when the thaw came the bees flew
out and went buzzing around
hunting food.

ates signalized themselves in bat
tile, and their names are AZ famil-
lar household words as those who
occupied the most important
positions. This fact was ac-
counted for by the brigade being
great big military family, the
most perfect harmony prevailing
between officers and privates, and
while good dicipline was main
timed, yet every man was given a
chance to show what kind of stuff
he was made of.
Another striking feature of the
history of the brigade since the
war is the success with which it
has preserved its organization.
Many other regiments, brigades
and commands organized associa-
tions after the war to perpt trate
its history an | cultivate its MEM
cries, only to live short time and
pass away. Not so with this as
ISOLATION. 1t was organized in
BRENNAN November, 1877, and
during all these twenty-five years

been vigorous, active, moving and
the enthusiasm unabating and
never more so than to-day. John

pore at The organization, and Gen
w. p. Hardeman was unaLimous-
ly elected its first president, with

motion of Seth Shepard, seconded
by j. d. Sayers, the organization
was christened Green's Texas Bri-

Prince Albert, Sask.,
nth August, 1898.
William McCreary, Esq, Immlgra-
ton Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man:
Strive, the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska U. S. A., in
reporting the results of our trip to
Dauphin, and subsequently to Regina.
Prince Albert and the middle Sas-
fatchewan country, beg to say that our
tickets were limited to 81 days, and as
we had other large regions to visit, we
could only spend short time In the
Dauphin country We examined. how
ever, the principal cultivated areas in
the southern parts of township 20,
range 10, the great wheat fields Of Wis
hart, Buchanan, Owen, Smith, Ross,
Sinclair. the Whitmores, Drlnkwaters,
ETC.. and subsequently, others to the
north, and never, in our experience,
have we seen finer grain. The whole
country is watered by numerous
streams flowing from the slopes Of
Riding Mountain, and excellent we'll
water is found everywhere at from to
IL feet. Extensive forests of spruce
and tamarack cover the northern parts
of the mountains, from which timber
is manufactured in Dauphin and else
where, and sold at $12 thousand
at the mills. Wild hops and wild fruits
are abundant, and ripen in the open
air. Vegetation throughout is surpris-
ingly luxuriant, and without heslta-
ton we would rank the whole region
amongst the best grain growing areas
OF the continent. The output of wheat
last year was about 10000 bushels, but
this year 1t is estimated at over mil
lion. Westward lie the homestead
lands which now, and when fresh sur
veys are completed, will afford COM
Portable homes to thousands of dill
gent families. The great Gilbert
Plains, also, we were unable to visit.
where grain growing has been conduct
cd with the best results for years, and
which will become a vast wheat field
as soon as branch railway reaches
there. Settlement is speeding in all
these regions, reminding us indeed Of
the early days in our own states; and,
rs we have examined. since our visit to
Dauphin, a portion OF the great coun
try lying south and east of Prince AL
bert we can readily imagine the tide
Of immigration which will soon flow
into the Canadian west.

ance there of large panther.
The animal came boldly up to a
mans lot, where several calves
were confined, and leaped over
the fence, catching a young calf.
Before it could be frightened
away the calf was killed and half
eaten. Several men in the com
munity procured dogs and guns
and went i'll pursuit of the pan
Their, but it was never caught. 1t
is often a wildcat comes across

Gigantic Medal.

When Alex. Woldert of Tyler
stepped from the private car of
General Manager j. A. Edison of
the Cotton Belt at Corsicana the
other day he was the center of at
traction because of an immense
medal of peculiar construction
that was suspended from his neck
and nestled liked a breast plate
over his shirt front. The medal
was constructed of the bottom of
two-gallon tin bucket and was
suspended from his neck by ordi-
nary hay wire. The medal has a
story connected with it.
Several days ago General Mana
ger j. A. Edison of the Cotton
Belt system organized a hunting
party to go to Neuces bay near
Corpus Cersti, the exact location
being on the Fulton ranch. In
the party were the following gen.
tlemen: General Manager j. A.
Edison of the Cotton Belt, ex-
Mayor j. r. Whiteselle and j. S.
Cullinan of Corsicana, Reagan
Wofford of Athens, Alex. VOL
dert of Tyler, yex-mayor w. G.
Conner and Royal A. Ferris of
Dallas. The party put in nearly
week on the Fulton raLch, and
had royal sport, shooting ducks
and feasting on oysters-raw,
roasted, stewed, i'm soup and in
every other shape. 1t was in con-
nection with the oyster feature of
the outing that Mr.. Woldert won
the medal which was presented
him by the party through ex-Mayor
Conner of Dallas in recognition
of his boundles ability as an
oyster eater. Al cording to the
accounts given y every member
of the party N Woldert not
only took the M gdal, but fgura-
lively took the ke. At the noon
meal he disposs : of over fifty
raw oysters; at o'clock in the
afternoon his ancealment of
roast oysters excy ded the wonder
Of Of. the ,iY.,, party/ when the hour hour
around MIS-. Was still eat
ing oysters, andy had three expert
Mexican OYSTER openers serving
the blvalves to- him in various
shapes. No.,ecofd of the number
OF oysters he disI osed of was kept'
but it is the una imous verdict of
Mr.. Edson's party that Woldert
smashed the RECORD. Mr.. VOL
dert is proud off his medal and
pleased with his liability to have
won it as he did.
