tiously picking his way along the ledge
he had almost reached the end when a
woman in a house near by saw him.
She sent word to the station, where
half a dozen policemen were chatting
inside, little thinking of the feat young
Sametz was performing almost over
head. By the time the messenger had
reached the station Sametz had gained
the fence and dropped to the ground.

that some inaccuracies occurred in The

day which were unjust to her.
She says that the boy entered
stealthily, and did not go through the
hall when there were dozen people
there. but he did meet lady on the
stairs as he came down. Mrs. Friend
also denies that she followed the young
thief when the larceny was detected.

half-past in the afternoon Sametz
had carefully Investigated every posi-

which held out some hope to him. All

one. This onesIis behind the front end

daunted young Sametz in his desire for
freedom. Securing stout stick, which
he found in the corridor, he climbed
on top Of the tier Of cells and proceeded
to pry open the window. The task
must have been difficult, as the window
was so wedged in the frame that two
men could not shut it after the boy
escaped. Using the stick for lever

Charley Lynch, of st. Paul, speaking
to a party of sporting men who had
been discussing the fighting merits of
the respective animals

match that was pulled off yesterday at
Lake Johanna, between wildcat said
to have belonged to Oscar West and
a bull dog that once was the property
Of Lynch. The bull dog won. There
was quite a crowd of sports out to
witness the battle. Lynch was there
and related some thrilling tales of how
he had seen wildcats walk away with
dogs of all classes. He would wager
ten that the cat would win, and he
would lay even money to a reasonable
amount that the fight would not last
more than two minutes. Lynch was
promptly accommodated by admirers
of the dog, which was a likely-looking
specimen of ugliness, and it is said that

ENGLISH OFFICERS WINE,
Allowed Money In Order That Thee
May Drink the Queens Health,


May Drink the Queens Health,
From the Columbus Journal
This Is, strictly speak king, an allowance OF
after-dinner wine. or rather the money to
buy it. whereby those officers who cannot
otherwise afford it may be enabled to drink
the queens health. 1t appears that the First
Gentleman in Europe was dining one even
ing with some regiment. and after dinner
noticed that some of the officers did not
drink the kings health. In reply to his IN
quiry, he was informed that. no disloyalty
was meant thereby, but that these officers
could not afford to drink wine every night
The regent thereupon instituted the wine al
lowance which bears his name to this day
In most regiments the thus received
is paid into the general mess fund. In the
marines. however, each dining member can
either drink glass of wine every night
or else can be credited therefor in his mess
bill A curious anachronism arose during the
Crinean war in connection with this custom
In those days the allowance, however much
it might be, was divided among the dining
members at the mess; and owing to the alb
sence on active servics Of the large majority
of officers, of the few that remained behind
each received such a large share of the al
lowance in cash that they were virtually
being paid a fixed sum per night to dine at
mess.

The DanCers of Alcohol.

At the meeting of the Paris Hospit-
ais Medical Society, held on Dec. 10,
NJ Legendre, alarmed by the ever-in-
creasing amount of drunkenness, asked

NJ. Legendre has had printed for the
use of all his patients a little leafetl
the text of which runs as follows:
Most of the diseases treated in the
hospitals arise from alcoholic drinks
that is to say, they are either caused
or aggravated by the abuse Of alcohol.
All alcoholic drinks are dangerous

I'm THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
Letter From the Kansas and Nebraska
Deieg ties to Dauphin.
Prince Albert, Sask.,

Prince Albert, SaSk,
18th August, 1898
William McCreary Esq, lmmigra-
lion Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man:
Sir-We, 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-
katchewan country, beg to say that our
tickets were limited to q days, and as
we had other large regions to visit, we
could only spend a short time IL the
Dauphin country. We examined, how
ever, the principal cultivated areas in
the southern parts of township 70,
range 10, the great wheat fields of Wis
hart, Buchanan, Owen. Smith, ROSS,
Sinclair, the Whitmores, Drinkwaters,
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 well
water is found everywhere at from to
is 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 S12 a 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 hesita-
tion we would rank the whole region
amongst the best grain growing areas
of the continent The output of wheat
last year was about $4,000 bushels, but
this year 1t is estimated at over a 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
ed with the best results for years, and
which will become a vast wheat field
as soon as a branch railway reaches
/ there. Settlement is speeding In all
these regions, reminding us indeed OF
the early days in our own states and,
as we have examined, since our visit to
Dauphin, a portion Of the great coun-
! try lying south and east of Prince AL
I bert, we can readily imagine the tide
of immigration which will soon flow
