IN CANADA.

A party OF six delegates left Kansas
City August LIST. to view the western
part OF Canada. August Bird we arrlv-
ed lat Winnipeg. Manitoba. 1t is a
beautiful city, built of white brick aud
stone. The buildings are large, many
or them and stories. ALI nations
are represented. The people are very
soclable and treated US very kindly.
Friday morning we left for Portage La
prairie. We saw many fine fields of
wheat, oats and barley. Wheat will
not be ready to harvest for two weeks
yet. Potatoes look fine but are only in
bloom now.
August 5th we started for Yorktown,
passing through Gladstone. The wealth
er was cool and nice. On all sides we
saw large fields of fine looking wheat,
oats and barley. Times seem to be
good. Men everywhere were anxious
to hire us to work for them. August
9Th we arrived at Yorktown. At 1890
the previous night we walked out and
looked at two fields of wheat before
breakfast, and then took drive of ten
miles in the country. The crops all
look week. This is a fine stock country
the cattle are much finer than Kan
sas cattle. There are some of the finest
horses here that I have ever seen.
Yorktown is very nice town Of
about 600 Inhabitants, 27O miles west of
Winnipeg at terminus OF the railroad.
They have good schools and a number
of churches of different denominations,
and in all respects it is a wide awake
thriving town. The surrounding coun.
try is not very thickly settl ed. plenty OF
land can be taken within 10 to 20 miles
from this place. The land is neither level
nor rough. There are no Kansas can
ons, but just rolling enough to suit my
mind. This is good stock country,
the best OF grass in abundance and
good water. Stock does not have to be
fed any longer there than here. They
do not begin to feed till the snow falls
and turn out on the grass as soon as tie
snow is gone. Some say that they do
not have to feed their horses at all dur.
ing the winter.
There is plenty Of timber for the set.
tiers use, beautiful groves being scat
tered around over the prairie give it
very pleasant appearance. There are
large timber belts that are not open to
settlement. The government reserves
that for the use of settlers, and the
same rule applies to the large tracts of
hay land. There is considerable wild
fruit, such as currants, gooseberries,
cherries and strawberries.
l can say nothing of the winter wealth
er but what was told. They all seem
to agree that the weather is much cold
er but not as hard to bear as in the
states on account of the absence of the
gentle zephers that play around in
Kansas. The ladies told me that there
was no day last winter that they could
not get into their sleighs and drive to
town, distance Of Is or 20 miles.
1t is nothing unusual for farmer to
raise from 1000 to $4,000 bushels of
small grain. 1t is hard for a Kansas
man to make an estimate of the grow
ing crop, but they say there are fields of
oats here that will make 100 bushels to
the acre and can easily believe it.

WHAT would you think of
a mans intelligence who de-
sired a certain law but refus-
ed to vote for it because some
other man whom he hates,
votes for it? You would
think he is cutting off his
own nose to spite his own
face, wouldn't you? We hope
there is none such in Barber

AN INFORMAL RECEPTION.
A Large Number of Ladies were En-
tertained by Mrs. Frank B.
Smith Thursday.

What is easily counted by the society
ladies' as one of the most pleasant and
enjoyable events of the season was the
reception given by Mrs. Frank B.
Smith at her pleasant home on Fourth
and Lawler streets Thursday afternoon.
The reception was entirely informal in
character and Mrs. Smith looked after
the comfort and pleasure OF her guests
unassisted. The hours for receiving
were from $3.50 to $50 and a constant
stream OF visitors was kept up during
the time. The rooms we're prettyily
decorated with flowers, and as the
apartments we're dar kened and lighted
with electricity the scene was made "a
attractive as an evening affair. Rath-
buns full orchestra of ten pieces was
stationed in room at the head of
the stairway and play during the
hours of receiving. The music was a
thoroughly enjoyable feature, and it
was far enough away so that the soft
strains mingled with the low hum of
conversation down stairs. Mrs Smith
frequently left her post, for few NOM
ents when the opportunity offered, and
visited with her guests
Mrs. Geo. M. Rowley had charge of
the punch bowl and was stationed in q
cosy nook in the bay window in the
sitting, while Mrs. F. P. Stearns poured
the tea in the dining room. They
were assisted by Miss Jessie Walrath,
Florence Dixon, Nora Harker and
Grace Beckwith. In taking leave OF
their hostess the ladies were profuse
in their expressions at the rich enjoy
ment of the afternoon. Following ia q

HEARD FROM REGIMENT.
Major Warne and Frank McLail
Wire Their Relatives of Their
Arrival.

The fret intelligence received from
the Mitchell boys with the South Da-
kota regiment since leaving Japan
came Friday evening in the way of two
telegrams-one from Major Warne to
his brother, Cyrus, and another from
Frank McLain to his father, II. II.
McLain. Msjor Warne wired of his
arrival at San Francisco, and the state
ment that II am all rigt; don't worry
This would indicate that the major
had but little fear of the unpleasant
position in which he was placed by his
arrest at Nagasaki, Japan, for the let
ter written TO Senator Pettigrew.
Frank McLain wired that he arrived
in fairly good shape and would write.
1t will probably be three weeks be
fore the regiment starts for South Da-
kota and the moments will be anxiously
spent awaiting the arrival of the boys.
The following special to the Mime,
apolis Journal from San Francisco
gives what detail there is to The
Warne-Frost matter:
when seen at the gang plank, in re.
sponse to request for an interview,
Colonel Frost confirmed the nws t2at
Warae was under arre,t Il cannot
enter into that subject ISL now," he
said, mot being in DOS ion to talk
The Minnesota m s..re also urged
to shed some light on he difficulty in
the South Dakota regiment, and
though evidently we'll posted concern
ing it, they invariably declined to have
anything to say about the matter"
"South Dakota state politics is so in
terwoven in this controversy that the
liveliest interest is taken all through
that state, and next to the arrival and
condition OF the regiment it is the most
freely discussed topic by South Dakot-
ans now here"

THREE DEATHS IN A DAY,
Three Residents of This City Passed
Away Sunday-TwO Buried
Monday.

Mitchell people we're startled by the
announcement OF the death of three of
her citizens which occurred Sunday
and the three coming at once brought
sorrow to many homes.
1t was thought Saturday that F..
Wedehase could hardly survive over
Sunday and the surmise proved true
for at ? o'clock Sunday morning he
passed to his home beyond, at the age
of II years. His death had been ex-
pected for nearly week, but when the
blow came it WAS hard one to bear.
A week ago the deceased realized
that his days were mum mbered and made
preparations for his death. He has
been troubled for some years with
chronic kidney and liver disease, but
not until this summer did it bother so
he had to quit his work. Over two
months ago he gave up work at his
shop and remained at home but was
not confined to his bed. He was at all
times cheerful and did not think but
what he would recover until Tuesday
of last week, when he took to his bed
with the expressed thought that he
would not ges we'll.
The deceased is an old resident of
Mitchell, having come here in an early
day and engaged in the harness busi-
ness which he followed up to the pres
ent time. he was man OF retiring
disposition and attended closely to his
business; his honor and integrity was
far above reproach and thorough
dependence could be placed ON what he
said. The deceased raised a large
family to which lie was fondly attached,
seeming to find more pleasure with the
inmates than in the outside world, and
who will miss him because of the great
love they bore him and from their close
associations with him. He leaves q
wife and eight children to mourn his
loss.
Funeral services we're held over the
remains Monday morning at the resi-
dence on west Second street, which
were sonducted by the Rev. j. 81. Bah.
cock. of the Episcopal church. The
music was furnished by Misses Goody-
koontz and Litsey and Messrs. Brown
and Pherson. some very handsome
floral pieces were sent by friends of the
family. The remains were laid to rest
in Graceland cemetery, to which place
large number of friends in carriages
followed. The pail bearers were:
Messrs. S. W. Smith, S. S. Bately,
James Lyons, Chas. Ferguson, John
Tannehlll, Abraham Boynton.
