She may, too, If she is feeling particu-
larly like a wicked bohemian, stay at

shell, Janet's bohemianism merely
means that she has voluntarily re-
nounced all the comforts of home and
spends more money in doing without
them than she would have to pay for
a very good amount of civilization. 1t
won't do her any harm and she will
at least learn how to make coffee and
perhaps few other things. There are
a good many bohemians of this kind in
New York. They are entirely inof-
fensive."

Some time ago a well-known Irish
man was dining with Lord Hampden
governor of New South Wales. Wish
ing to pay compliment to his host
the Irishman commented upon the fact
that his excellency's family had all
been true to the cause of Ireland, with
one exception. 1--WE Irish never could
forgive that brother of yours who
sided with Caine for the Unionists in
the great division of 1886. We used
TO call him the Brand Of Came" "Ah"
observed the governor, good-humored-
ly, II was that brother"

MERIT ALWAYS WINS
A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE IS
BASED ON MERIT.
Tho Importance OF Informing thu
Public of tho Value of an Article
Through the Leading
Newspapers.

The few remedies which have at.
tanned to worldwide fame, as truly
beneficial in effect and giving satisfac-
ton to millions of people everywhere,
are the products Of the knowledge Of
the most eminent physicians, and pre-
sented in the form most acceptable to
the human system by the skill of the
worlds great chemists; and one of the
most successful examples is the Syrup
of Figs manufactured by the Califor-
MIA Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup
of Figs is permanently beneficial in its
effects, and therefore lives and pro-
notes good health, while inferior prep
arations are being cast aside and for
gotten. In olden times if remedy
gave temporary relief to individuals
here and there, it was thought good;
but nowadays laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. II you
have never used Syrup Of Figs, give 1t
a trial, and you will be pleased with 1t.
and will recommend it to your friends
or to any who suffer from constipation.
or from overlooking, or from colds,
headaches, biliousness, or other ills re-
sulting from an inactive condition of
the kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process Of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of
plants known to be incidentally laxa-
tive and to act most beneficially. AS
the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, knowl-
edge of that fact will assist in avoid
ing the worthless limitations manufac-
tured by other parties. The company
has selected for years past the lead
ing publications Of the United States
through which to inform the public of
the merits of its remedy, and among
them this paper is included, as will be |
seen by reference to its advertising COL
umns.

IN THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
Letter From tho Kaneas and Nebraska
Delegates to Dauphin.
Prince Albert, Sask.,

Prince Albert, SaSK.,
18th August, 1898.
William McCreary, Esq, Immigra-
tion Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man:
Strive, 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 81 days, and as
we had other large regions to visit, we
could only spend short time In 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, Drinkwasers,
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
IL 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 $l2 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-
ton 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 diff
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 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, portion of the great coun-
try lying south and east of Prince AL |
bert, we can readily imagine the tide |
Of immigration which will soon flow
into the Canadian west.

Animals That Make Roads.

The Welsh mountain sheep have OBJ
tanned legal recognition of their abil-
ity to distinguish boundaries and their
own roads through their pastures. One
lock of sheep fought trespassing
flock, and the court decided that the
sheep were worth half crown more
than others because they knew their
roads and boundaries.

millions more than in 1883, when
Benjamin Harrison was elected
President and the Mckinley law was
assured.
In 1888 the excess of imports of

VALUE OF EXPERIENCE.

DON after the enactment of the
Dingley tariff bill was compile
~ ted it was attacked from De-
mocratic quarters because of its as
sumed favor for the sugar trust.
Experience has proven that the Din.
gley bill contained no such favor.
Since the Dlngley bill became a law
two great competitors to the sugar
trust have appeared in the market,
and the home manufacture of sugar
from beets will soon destroy the
power of all the trusts and combin-
atoms in the sugar market. There
is more value in one year of exper.
fence under a Republican tariff law
than in all the Democratic free
trade and free silver theories ever
formulated. Cadillac Mich. News

like some refreshments and so she

THE people who have been "de-
handing" the admission of foreign
built ships to American registry
ought to take advantage of the bill
introduced in Congress by Senator
Hanna and Representative Payne,
as there is no telling when they will
get another chance. That bill adj
mits some $50, 900 tons of foreign
built ships TO our registry, if thell
owners agree to build IFS, 900 tons
of ships in the United States inside
the next five years. A bill that pur-
poses putting under American regis
tiers $4,000 tons of ships--two-
thirds of which are foreign-built-
is the chance of a lifetime for the
advocates of "free ships"

FRIDAY, JANUARY 81, 1899
REGISTER.

Had you thought about it2 Re
member you must register every
year or you lose your vote! Do yor
know there is going be an election
in Chanute on the I4th day of Feb
ruary to determine whether or not
we will prospect for oil?
Better register so you can vote il
you get worked up at the last and
feel like you should.
Don't you think it would be a
pretty nice thing for Chanute to own
a good gas well or two so she could
compete with surrounding towns?
Don't you really think the prospects
are good for finding gas in this i'm
mediate territory if the proper ef-
fort is made? 1t would not cost a
great deal. The five thousand dol
lar bonds proposed would scarcely
be felt by this community, even if
we got no gas, and if we should get
a reasonable flow of gas, everybody
will admit that it would be a fine
investment.
If the city owned good gas we'll
we could all get gas at half what we
are paying, the school, the water
works, city hall and churches furnis-
he'd free and still good dividend to
the city, to say nothing about the
great benefits that might be derived
from the establishment of factories.
If we sit down and make no efforts
we surely will not get gas and surely
will not be in it with neighboring
towns. 1t does look like the bene
fits, if we strike it, will be so great
that they greatly overbalance the
chances against the proposition. If
you are favorable to the bond propo-
sition be sure to register and vote;
don't neglect it because you think
everybody is for it and the PROPOSE
ton will carry anyhow. There is
where you may be deceived. There
is determined opposition to the
proposition, and unless its friends
get out and vote, 1t will be voted
down.
Possibly you are satisfied with the
conditions here and do not care to
disturb them. Possibly you think
manufacturing interests would be
of no particular importance or that
they would not come if we had gas.
If lola had thought and voted that
way she would today be the same
dead town she was few years ago.
Now let US all register and vote
one way or the other. If you don't
think this bond proposition is for
the best interests of the city, vote
against it; that is your right.
If you believe there are more
chances to benefit Chanute by vot-
ing bonds than there are chances to
damage her interests, then vote for
the bonds. Let us have fair and
honest expression of the wishes of
the people and abide by that wish
expressed in the ballot. We can't
all see these things just alike, but
we can all act honestly and earnest
ly, and the majority should rule.
