A REFORMER WITHOUT HONOR
Chinaman a Fugitive from the Home
land because OF Wise Re
forms He Advocated.

Kang Yu Wei, the fugitive Chinese
statesman, has arrived At Vancouver,
B. C., from Victoria, accompanied by
retinue of Chinese and japanese SYM
Pathizers. From there Kang will pro
coed TO London, which place he expects
TO make his home until at least part
Of the reforms advocated by himself
have been brought to pass in China. He
said:
1T is only a matter Of time before
China viii have to put into operation
those reforms which 1 say she needs, or
else internal dissensiOns or possibly for
eign aggression viii result in the dis
memberment of the empire
The reforms which Kang is anxious
to establish for his native country are:
Representative party government, a
system Of national banks, state owner
ship of mines and railroads, free edu-
cation, both elementary and advanced,
and including the establishment Of
technical schools and government sem
inaries for military and naval train
ing. He also thinks that the silver
basis of the Chinese monetary system
has been the means Of impOveTishing
the empire to the advantage of cOun-
tries that trade there, selling for gold
and buying for silver.

1t is the aperture TO the cold storage

ODD FRANKS PLAYED BY CUPID
Amanced Man and Woman Pass Each
Other on Trains in Different
Directions.

Cupid played some odd Pranks with
James H. GeItner, of Bethlehem, and
his bride, Pearl KnOwland, Of Indian
aPolis, Ind, but they finally outwitted
him.
They were TO have been married at
Indianapolis, but the bride decided 10
have the ceremony performed at the
home Of her cousin, Mrs. James Ber-
ry, Of JeffersOnviIIe. She wrote GeItner
\ letter, saying she would meet him
there on the appointed day.
He failed to get the letter, and took
a train for indianapolis. In blissful
ignorance he passed q train en- route
on which his bride was going to keep
her supposed engagement at jefferson
vile.
They arrived at their destinations,
and, finding no one waiting for them,
decided to return at once, in the hope
of locating the missing loved one.
Again they passed each other en- route.
The bride again started toward the
Ohio. AS she stepped from the train
at Jacksonville she encountered the
anxious groom waiting for another
train to Indianapolis. They repaired
TO the home of the cousin and Rev.
George II. Finger united them in mar
rage.

ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA

W. r. 8lilburn, John Holmes, n. r.
Dagger, E 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: 1--WE came here
solely to look up improved farms and, If
suitable, to select such g. pleased Us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though We believe
them u be very inviting. Om inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, DelOraine and towards
the SOuris River in Manitoba. Our i'm
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 a 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-
verted into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
/ accordingly did, and is now its owner.
| It 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
/ a better future for the industrious man
| than is now to be found anywhere on
I 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"

A pIscomated Lnrer.

An amusing incident was witnessed
in a Portland street car recently.
Among the occupants Of the car was a
young fellow and apparently 'his
girl" Their appearance and actions
hardly denoted a long acquaintance
with city life, and it was easy to see
that it was a case Of mutual admira-
ton The girl left the car in the
neighborhOOd Of LOngfelIOw square,
the young fellow continuing the trip
farther on. He was deeply absorbed
in thought and failed to notice that
he had dropped a photograph of the
young lady on the seat beside him IN
til the car had proceeded some blocks
When he did, however, 1t was anus
ing TO watch mis- efforts to conceal the
picture without attracting attention.
He had Just succeeded IN doing so, as
be thought, and had regained conf
dence in himself when he moved
slightly, bringing to light another
photograph Of the same young lady,
but Of different style. The young
mans face turned red when the pas
sengers Uttered and he got up and
left the car covered with confusion
