'.he's here for his legs" 'For his legs!.'
exclaimed the Scotsman. "You sec."

1t was recently estimated by NJ. Le-

there are about 100000 smokers, and
that out of every fifteen smokers eight
smoke the pipe, five the cigar, and two
the cigarette. The total consumption
of cigarettes in France during 1888 was
204 milliards, OF SO7. 100000 a day,
3.7OO.OOO an hour, $4,000 a minute, and

Dagger, E. L. Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its suitability
for farming, and the advantages it Of
fers to the agricultural Immigrant from
the United States: I'VE came here sole
ly to look up improved farms and, if
suitable, to select such as pleased us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though we believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Dcloraine aud 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 nee and, having
disposed of 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 Mt 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 Hartncy who had rented n farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share Of the crop. When
he came to sell his w produce he
found that his two-thirds. when con-
verified into cash. was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and ont. which he
accordingly did. and is now its owner.
1t is our intention to induce as many
of our friends as possible. who are prac-
tical farmers, to renlove from Iowa to
this country. where we believe there is
n better future for the industrious man
than is now to he found anywhere on
this continent. We are we'll known i'll
our part of the State of Iowa. and we
invite correspondence from its residents
in all parts with regard to this region
of Western Canada which we have Wis
tied. and to which we intend to return

A GENEROUS COMPANY.
Wabash Railroad Pays a Man More
Than He Asks for His Land.

Abba, Aug. 5.-(Special)-One of
the most surprising things that rail-
road corporation could do has hap
pened to resident of this city. Thom-
as Remey owns good piece of proper
ty in the south part OF the city. The
Wabash passed directly through the
place with the survey for the right-of-
way and they went to Mr.. Remey and
reached an agreement whereby they
paid him $500 cash for the ground
they would use and for the damage
that would result to the property. An
other party lived along near MIR. REM
ey and he would not settle with the
company for the price they wanted to
pay and a sheriff's jury was selected
and gave the gentleman a much larger
sum than the company had offered.
Then the company came down with
the cash and paid him. Yesterday af-
ternoon Mr.. Gallagher, who was look
ing up the right-of-way for the compa-
ny, went to the home of Mr.. Remey
and told him that he had not paid him
enough money according to what the
sheritf's jury had thought his neigh
bor,s land was worth and he made MIR.
Remey present of an additional hum
dred dollars. If there is any other
case where a railroad company has
paid an additional sum after once
reaching an agreement with man for
land. it has not been heard of in this
town.

bearing two of the three Somoan COM
missioners, arrived Wednesday, eight
days from Samoa, and on the way for
San Francisco. On board are Bartlett
Trip, United States commissioner,
and Baron Won Sternberg, the repre-
sentative of Germany. Commissioner
Eliot sailed via New Zealand for LON
don to report directly to his govern
ment. The commissioner declined to
state Just what form of government
was decided upon, but it is under-
stood the Samoans sought to be ruled
by a white governor, appointed by the
three powers. There will be native
legislature. but the governor will have
the veto power and the chief Justice
will be the final authority in the land
from which there'is no appeal. The
arrangement met the approval Of the
lSamoans. The day before the COM
mission sailed delegations from, each
faction met on the Badger, and signed
articles, thus officially approving the
arrangement in the name of their re-
spective chiefs. Mataafa and Malietoa.
When the commission sailed all was

middle aged man residing in the vi

with the crime of rape upon his daugh-
