OTIS WILL HAVE THE MEN.
Fourteen Thousand Regular Army Troops
VIII Be Dispatched at Once TO Manila
70 Take tho Place of YoInnteers.

Washington, April 81. 49, Fourteen
thousand regulars are to be sent to re-
inforce Gen. Otis at Manila as soou as
the necessary marine transportation
can be provided, 1t is not expected
that the bulk Of the large body of re in
forcements can reach Manila until the
end Of the rainy season which has just
begun, but they will closely follow the
departure from the Philippines of the
volunteers. With the regular troops
already ordered and on their way to
Manila, Gen. Otis will have an effect
i've force of 21,72s men in addition to
the recruits being sent every few
days for the regiments already in
the Philippines, This force is to he
raised to $4,000 men by the time
the aggressive operations can DO
pressed in the early autumn. The vol
unteers TO be returned to this country
from Manila number barely $4,000,
many of whom are greatly debilitattd,
so the determination to send 14,oO0
able-bodied regulars to take their
places is calculated to show the rebel
leaders that the United States is terri
bly, in earnest about meeting its re-
sponsibilities for preserving order and
commanding respect throughout the
archipelago, 1t is announced that the
army in the Philippines will he in
creased to $4,000 men, whether the
rebels abandon the field or not.

ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

w. r. Milburn, John Holmes, M. r.
Dagger, Il. L. Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its situa-
bility for farming, and the advantages
it offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: "We came here
solely to look up improved farms and, II
suitable, to select such as pleased us
best, We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though we believe
them to be very inviting, Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River in Manitoba. Our inn
pressions of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to go back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
of improved farms, which we find we
can do at reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen in that part
Of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal to that of our
own country for wheat-growing, and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, etc, are all that we could wish
for.
ITO show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share Of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verified into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now its owner.
1t is our intention to induce as many Of
our friends as possible, who are prac-
teal farmers, to remove from Iowa to
this country, where we believe there Is
better future for the industrious man
than is now to be found anywhere on
this continent. We are well known in
our part of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from its resi-
dents in all parts with regard to this
region of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend to
return"

Little Rock, Ark, April 2l.-Attorney
General Davis yesterday instituted in
the Pulaski circuit court 80 suits for

Advantages Of Direct buying.

Certain manufacturing institutions have
in recent years inaugurated new system
of disposing of their products which is un.
quaifiedly to the advantage Of the con-
sumner. Among the pioneers in this new
method of doing business was the Elkhart
Carriage and Harness Manufacturing COM
pany of Elkhart, Ind. These people began
this plan 26 years ago and have adhered to
it strictly ever since. The result has been
so entirely successful that they are to-day
the largest manufacturers of carriages and
harness in the world selling to the con-
sumer exclusively.
The advantages to the consumer are al
most beyond estimate. He gets better goods,
better and larger selections, and he buys at a
much lower price. There is no risk, as this
firm ship vehicles or harness everywhere for
examination, and guarantee every article
they manufacture and sell. The Elkhart Car
riage and Harness Manufacturing company
publish a large illustrated catalogue, which
they will cheerfully mail toallwho requestit.

the fest, and that the executive COM
