the sudden death Of v. A. Crandall, a
prominent physician of this place, his
death being caused by a sudden stroke

covered until he was found helpless
in bed by neighbors, Sunday after
noon. AS soon as his condition
would permit he was removed to the
residence Of his brother-in-law, H. NJ.
Eager, five miles north of Hunter, at
which place he died. He was held in
high esteem by residents Of this COM
munity and enjoyed! q splendid prac-
tice. He was prominent in school and
social circles, being a member Of the

twenty-five small plates around the
edge Of the shell, known as feet" or
noses" The biggest turtle Goes not

1t Seems Hard to Evade q Law That
Will Stand.
Bismarck, N. D.-State legislatures
have rather a difficult time enacting
a peddlers license law that will stick.
A law was passed several years ago
for the licensing Of peddlers, and the
supreme court knocked it out. Forti-
fed with the experience gained in
this test, the last legislature passed an
other law, taxing peddlers in various
sums, depending upon whether the
peddlers were foot statesmen or trav-
eled with wagons. A test case was
brought at Grand Forks before Judge
Fisk, in which a peddler named Klech-
ten was arrested and tried. The judge
held that the law was unconstitutional,
for the reason that the law provided
no means for the disposition Of the
funds collected. The supreme court
takes the same view, and in it's opin-
ion says:
An act Of the sixth legislative assem-
bly-not published cfticially-entitled
IAN act taxing the occupation of
hawking and peddling, and regulating
the licensing off, persons engaged in
such occupation" Construed and held,
to be a measure intended to produce
revenue by taxing the occupation Of
peddling, and held, further, that the
IAN was also intended as a police
measure to regulate such occupation.
Said statute nowhere states or indi-
Gates the objects or purposes Of the tax
nor does it declare how the revenue
to be derived hereunder is to be ap-
piled. Accordingly, held, that the act
is' repugnant to the provisions Of sec
ton It's Of the state constitution, aud
therefore void. Held, further, that it
cannot be sustained as a measure of
police regulation after, the revenue fea-
lures Of the act are eliminated as un-
constitutional.

Birds That Dance.

There is no longer any doubt that
birds are addicted to the dance. The
bower bird and the prairie fowls are
adopts in the art, while the American
grouse is n veritable master of eremo-
MES. 1t is the custom for these birds
to prepare their ball room by heating
down the grass with their wings, and
then to dance something suspiciously
like the Lancers. By twcs and tours
they advance, bowling their heads and
dropping their wings; then they re-
cede and then advance again, and turn
on their toes, swelling their feathers
and clucking gently. ~

IOWA PEOPLE co TO CANADA

Man Buys q Farm with Proceeds from

W. R. Milburn. John Holmes, M. r.
Dagger, E. L. Stetson, of Buena Vista
county, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its suit
ability for farming, and the advan-
tages it offers to the agricultural inn
migrant from the United States:
I'VE came here solely to look up im-
proved farms and, If suitable, to Sc
lect such as pleased us best. We have
not visited the homestead districts at
al, 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 i'm
pr~essions Of all that region are in
every, way satisfactory, and we have
decided to 90 back to Iowa at once,
and, having disposed of our several
interests there, to return to Manitoba
in the month Of March next, and. ef-
fecting 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
q farm. on shares, receiving two-thirds
Of the returns as his share of the
crop. When he anne to sell his own
produce he found that his two-thirds.
when converted into cash. was enough
to buy the farm he rented out and
out, which he accordingly did. and is
nov, Its owner. It is our intention to
induce as many Of our friends as pos
sible, who are practical farmers. to re-
move from Iowa to this country,
where we believe there is q better
future for the Industrious man than
ID now to be found anywhere on this
continent. We are we'll known In our
par. Of the state Of Iowa, and We In
vite correspondence from ito residents
in all parts with regard to this re-
gion Of Western Canada which we
have visited. and to which we intend
to return"

Hearing that her little son was lying

minister's wife travelled 300 miles and
enlisted as a nurse in the army, in or
der to be near him. The minister,
%thereupon, applied for the chaplaincy
of the regiment, which he secured. and
the family is now happily united under
the most remarkable of circumstances.
