SNYDER-PARKER ARRESTED.
Charged With UnIawfuIIy Killing Deer

On complaint of Albert Shoemaker,
farmer who resides in the town of
VeSper about two miles from Arpin,
MesSrs. Joseph Snyder and Charley
Parker were arrested for unlaWfully
killing deer on Sunday, Oct. % in
the vicinity of his farm in said town.
These gentlemen were arrested on
Monday of this week and arraigned
before his honor JuStice'T. j. Cooper
in Centralia. They plead not guilty
to the charge and on motion of their
attorney j. w. Cochran an adjourn
ment was taken until Wednesday, the
20, inst.
We understand the evidence to be
that upon this certain day and date
these gentlemen were seen by the
complainant and one Milton White,
who is working for Mr.. Shoemaker, in
the act of carrying the carcass of a
| deer out of the woods to the defend
ants buggy. They talked to the
defendants on this day and while in
| this act. and know them to be the
same persons who were carrying said
| deer
We understand there are other
| witnesses who saw the blood and en-
trails where the deer was killed and
where the defendants were seen on
that same day.
If the parties are convicted of the
offenSe charged it will cost them about
$4,000 and costs each, judging from
the following section of the law:
'Shall be punished by {, fine of not
less than S30.00 nor more than $4,000,
or by imprisonment in the county jail
not less than two months nor more
than six months, or by both such fine
aud imprisonment in the discretion of
the court"

The Difference.

From Winona Daily Herald.
At this season of the year hundred;
of young people are making prepare
tiOnS to attend school, and it is safe tC
say that business colleges will secure
the majority of them. Those who
attend good schools will be we'll repaid
for the money and labor spent in
securing practical education, but
those who are inveigled into attending
cheap literary schools or normal
| schools that claim to prepare young
people for business will certainly
regret their decision.
Of the few business schools that it
is perfectly safe to recommend and
patronize, Toland's Business Univer-
versitieS take precedence over all
others, not only on account of their
thOroughness but also because of the
unvarying success Of their graduates.
The following clipping from the
Wankon Democrat shows the high
estimation in which the Toland BuSi-
ness Universities are held in that part
of Iowa, and it is safe to say that the
report would be materially the same
from every vicinity from which
TOland's Universities secure patron
age.
"Upto the present, every Allamakee
County student who has graduated
from TOland University has proved
the thoroughness and practica of
the education therein secured by
going almost directly from the school
room to a lucrative position as book
keeper or Stenographer. Further
than this we have known graduates
of other schools, incompetent to hold
even the most ordinary positions, TO
attend few months, receive practical
instruction, and, through Mr.. Toland' S
assistance, secure desirable employ
ment."
We are satisfied that of those who
are interested in business education
understood the immeaSurable differ
ence between Mr.. Toland's schools and
similar schools, they would prefer to
pay double the rate of tuition charged
by Mr.. Toland than to accept free
tuition at the next best business
school in the northwest.
N0te-Mr. TOland owns the WiScOn-
sin Business University, La Crosse,
also Toland's Business Universities at
Eau Claire, Monroe and Wausau, Wis.
and Winona, Mimi. The winter term
al each of those schools begins Nov. 6.
Ii you are interested and desire cata-
lOgue, address f. j. Toland, La Crosse,

CANADA'S ARBITRATION OFFER.
AN IMPORTANT QUALIFICATIONS OF SIR
wILFRID LAURIER's STATEMENT.

wILFRID LAURIER's STATEMENT.
Washington. May 31.-The officials here are
unwilling to be drawn publicly into contro-
versy over the Alaskan boundary question. even
though 1t has been made the subject Of state
ment in the House at Ottawa by Sir Wilfrid
Laur!er. which would ordinarily relieve them
from the obligation OF silence They take the
view. however. that the tendency OF the nego-
tations with Great Britain makes 1t inadvisa-
bic at present to make public the official record
Of the proceedings Of the Joint High Commits
sion.
1t can be said. however. on authority, that
there Is no disposition to question the accuracy
Of the statement made by Sir wilfrid to the
position Of Canada respecting arbitration But
this is subject to the important qualification
that the statement referred to the situation ex-
listing when the Commission was IN session, and
at its termination and not later. Since then
there have been negotiations directly between
the British Government and the Government OF
the United States conducted of late through
Ambassador Choate and Lord Salisbury in Lon
don, and OF what has occurred there Sir Wilfrld
Laurier's statement takes no account IL is re-
iterated in the most earnest manner by the oir-
cials here that in these negotiations Canada
| stood in the way Of an agreement which the
British authorities after mature consideration
had accepted as eminently fair and just.
Respecting the Canadian demand for the pos
/ session of Pyramid Harbcr on the Lynn Canal.
pending the decision of an arbitration tribunal
or some other competent authority that her title
is good the position Of the United States Gov
eminent remains unchanged. It does not rec
ognize any parallel between the Canadian claim
to Pyramid Harbor and the claim OF this coun-
try 10 Dyea and Skaguay. OF the latter the
United States has been in undisputed possession
for many years-in fact, the title has never pc
| fore been questioned. Canada on the other
/ hand, never asserted any claim to Pyramid Har-
Dor until recently. and has never been IN even
temporary possession. so that the legal aspects
/ of the claims regarded as entirely dinerent.
! The proposition from the British side 10 de-
| clare neutral a strip Of country leading from
/ the head of the Lynn Canal back across the
mountains to the Canadian line. has not COM
| mended itself TO the State Department which

unfairly surrender absolute title to territory be-
