There is a decided movement in
capital toward real estate invest
ments in this section Of the north
west. This is perhaps due largely
to the fact that a low price for
wheat has embarrassed the resident
free holders and that good pro-
ductive land is very cheap at this
time. The pre- cent price Of wheat
is not as remunerative as the out.
look Of ven year ago promised.

Lyddite and ihoriie are new ex-
plosives for use in warfare. The
Hague Peace Congress decided
that soft-noscd bullets were in
human and not to be tolerated in
civilized warfare, for the reason
that they lacerate the flesh and
poison the blood Of the victims of
the soldiers rifles. Just why lyddi,e
and thorite should not be classed
with the use OF moi only soft nosed
bullets but with poisoned food and
water in warfare is not explained.
The English are preparing to use
lyddite in the Transvaal aud the
Americans are sending thorite to
Manila. A London dispatch des-
cribes the terrors Of these explo-
sives as follows: "Lyddite, the dis.
patch said, in the shape of small
shell, falling among a compact
body oil men, would kill 900 OF
them. 1t was used in the cam
