A SENSIBLE LETTER.
A Western Canadian Settler Writes to
an Illinois Friend

A Western Canadian Settler Writes to
an Illinois Friend.
In writing to Mr.. 7. Hawkyard, of
Rockford, ILL.,, Mr.. G. Simpkins, of Le-
due, Alberta, Western Canada (and to
which points especially low rates are
being quoted over all lines of railway,
says:
Dear Sir-Received your letter the
14th inst. We have had no snow till
after Christmas, and the cattle have
been able to live out, and are all in good
condition. 1t is showing now. That is
what we want. Have about six inches
now. The old settlers say when we
have lots of snow it means a good crop
the coming season. 1t never drifts
here. The weather is calm and bright.
We do not have to dress any heavier
than in Illinois, and the horses never
them from the warm stable, as they
do in Illinois. 1t has not frozen in the
stable this winter.
'The most Of the stock runs out, but
there is no need of it, for timber is
plentiful, and there is no expense to
build good stables and houses. We
have good log houses, and they are
very warm. Two men can put up a
house 16x24 in two days. There are
good rails for fences. We live ten
miles from the coal district, the price
being from so cents up to 81. The
land is very rich, loamy soil, from
six inches to several feet in depth; the
hills have the deepest. 1t is rolling
country, and excellent for stock of all
kinds. Sheep do well, and there are
plenty of small lakes, where the cattle
can get good water. The cattle got
out of grass last year, about the middle
of April, and run at large; unless in
charge of a herdsmen, We have to fence
against them. Wheat goes from thirty
five to sixty bushels per acre, oats
eighty and ninety, very often over a
hundred. AS to potatoes, a neighbOr
planted seven bushels and dug 226
bushels and no bugs. Roots Of all kinds
do well. There are lots of strawber-
ries and lots of red raspberries, black
and red currants, and gooseberries.
where the fire has not burnt them.
Cattle are scarce. 1 have been trying
to buy some for eight months, and have
got only three two-year-olds, and paid
$50 each.
'Hogs are scarce, but can be got.
They sell for 6 cents dressed, and cost
more for stOckers. Wheat so cents per
bushel, oats 25 cents, eggs so cents a
dozen, butter 10 and 20 cents, poultry
was 10 and IL cents dressed. Sheep
are scarce. If you come, bring your
farm tools, but bring no seeders; we
use drills. Bring cows, but do not
bring horses unless you are an expert
enced hand in shipping them, for so
many of them are hurt in shipping.
There will be plenty of work for
binder. Two good horses will break.
but three lighter are better. The
horses you get here can work without
grain, but are better with it. 1t will
be hard to tell what prices horses will
be, for the immigration will be very
large the coming spring. They could
not be had last spring at one time.
They claim the best time to break is
June, but my experience is to break in
the spring and work it. You can break
till the middle of July

Notwithstanding that great number
of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during the
past cold season, yet it cannot be de-
MED that the cold, wet, stormy winter
has retarded many cures, and in some
cases actually prevented cure.
General S. S. Yoder, ex-Member OF
Congress from Ohio, in a recent letter
to Dr. Hartman, speaks Of Pe-ru-na as
follows:
Washington, D. G.
Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus. o.:
Gentlemen-I desire to say that
have found Pe-ru-na to be a wonderful
/ only used 1t for short time
and am thoroughly satisfied as to its
merits. 1 cannot find words to express
my qualification for the results OBJ
tanned. AS catarrh cure shall glad
ly recommend it to all sufferers. Yours
truly. s. S. YODER.

First Man to Enter Libby.


The town of HOlyOke. Mass. includes
among her citizens an interesting vet
eran of the civil war in the person of
Philander A. Streeter, who was the
first man 10 enter Libby prison at
Richmond. Mr.. Streeter, Vermontcr
by birth, was mustered into Company
c, Second Vermont Volunteers, In June.
1861. He was captured after the first
battle of Bull Run, through stopping
to carrying wounded cOmrade from
the field. He and some other prisoners
were taken to Manassas Junction and
shipped thence to Richmond being the
first consignment of hated "Yanks" to
enter Libby. Streeter says that the
treatment they received from their
captors was about what might be ex-
pected, but that the people of Rich
mond, particularly the women. were
abusive in the extreme. On arriving
there they were lined up, the Yer
monter in the lead. and marched into
the grim and dingy old place. which
later was the scene of so much suffer
ing. After being In Libby five months
and fourteen days he was exchanged.
having meanwhile been reduced in
weight from 165 to an even 100 pounds.
While in the prison he carved from
the bones that accompanied their
soups various little rings and other
knickk1acks, which he still keeps,
along with the last ration of hard
tack which was served out at the
prison. This Is still as fresh looking
as ever, and undoubtedly just as dry
and tasteless. He also has large
collection Of personal relics-the coat,
cartridge box, blouse, cap cover, etc,
that he wore while in the war; After
a furlough, in which he recovered his
health in some measure. he again
went to the front and with his COM
pany saw hard service in the second
battle of Bull Run, in the battles Of
the Wilderness and before Richmond.

TWO REMARKABLE CURES
Of Two Prominent and Well-Known
People.
A Catarrh Cure that Cures.
Some Seasonable Spring Sayings.

Springtime has come at last, and now
is the time for all catarrh sufferers to
begin a systematic course of treatment
for this disease. The greatest difficulty
in the way of treating chronic catarrh
is that the patient is SO liable to catch
cold during the treatment and thus de-
lay the cure. This liability at this sea-
son of the year is, in a great measure,
removed, and no one should neglect
the opportunity to begin treatment.
Miss Dade Stegeman, superintendent
of the Chicago North Side Woman's
Club, of Chicago, in a recent letter to
DR.. Hartman, speaks of Pe-ru-na as
follows:

An Excellent Combination.

&AA4 AlASSAASAAO
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA FIa SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habituai constipation per-
maneutly. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from scnna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
