THE REPORT OF A MAN OF EXPERIENCE.

water, and abundant hay land, and
the climate is excellent.
Prince Albert is fourishing little
place, situated on the north Sas-
katchewan river, having a population
OF about 1900, with good street and
sidewalks and churches of nearly
every denomination, three school
houses, and another one to be built at
once, also brewery and creamery
Here l stayed for about four months,
working at my trade of bricklaying,
and met with farmers and ranchers
with whom made it my special bust
ness to talk in regard to the prospects.
also visited several farmers for some
distance out in the country while crops
were in full bloom, and may say that
never saw better crops in all my
travels than saw along the valley to-
wards Stoney Greek and Carrot River.
In the market garden there is grown
currants, both red and black, and as
fine a sample of roots and vegetables
as ever went en- market. The soil in
and around this district cannot be
beaten for anything you may wish to
grow, and besides the season is long,
giving time for everything to mature
The cattle were looking as good as |
saw anywhere, good pasture and hay
land, and plenty of water wherever
you go. The country is dotted all
around like islands with timber fit for
fuel and building purposes and within
a days walk of numbering woods,
where numbering and tie making Is
carried on in winter. Both large and
small game is plentiful. There are
two good saw mills in this district,
with a good supply of all grades of
lumber all the year round and also two
good brickyards with an excellent
quality of brick. There is no scarcity
of building material and at reason
able price. Clothing and living are no
higher than find in Michigan, and
furthermore / wish to say that there is
a great demand for laboring men all
the year round and good wages rang
ing from s1.75 to $500 per day, and
from $500 to $500 per month with
board
wish to say that ! am perfectly sat
isfied with the country and intend to
return to Prince Albert early in the
spring of 1900. Any reasonable man
can go there and in from five to ten
years make good and comfortable
home for himself and family. and if
any person into whose hand this letter
should fall, desires more information,
please write to me and / will freely
give them my best opinion. l am writ
ing this for the benefit of those who
may want to make better home for
themselves and families or friends.
Trusting that this statement may be
useful to you in the publication Of
your next pamphlet and be the means
of guiding at least some of those who
are in search of a home, remain
Your humble servant,

SOCIETY MAN KILLED.
A Quarrel Over . Woman Results in
Murder

A Quarrel Over o Woman Results in
Murder.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 25.-Frank
II. Hamilton, a newspaper man, is Q
prisoner at the Central police station,
charged with murder ais the result Of
the stabbing to death of Leonard Day,
a young millionaire society man of
the West hotel early this morning.
Hamilton, who has been in the cus-
tOdy of detectives since the tragedy,
was not formally placed upder arrest
until late this afternoon, when the
coroner's jury, returned a verdict
holding him responsible for the death
of young Day.
The tragedy took place in the bill
lizard room of the hotel ait 2 o'clock
in the morning, after a quarrel over
q woman, participated In by Hamilton,
Day and number of other prominent
men. During the fight Fred George,
a society leader, was badly cut in the
right hand.
George and Day were, dn company
with c. S. Force, another siciety nota-
BILE, playing pool when Hamilton and
q few of his friends entered. Hamil-
ton amid Day began quarreling. An
effort was made to separate them by
several bystanders, and for a few mo-
mleinjts quiet was restored. Then the
trouble broke out anew, and ended
only when Day lay dying on the floor.
Hamilton. with whom he had been
fighting, was the first to bend over
him and offer aid, but it was too late,
for in five minutes the injured man
was dead. The men who had not
taken amy hand in the affray at once
left the place, but were Bater found
by the police, who took charge Of the
ca6e.
Coroner Nelson, at the request Of
friends of the prisoner and of the
dead man, held an inquest this after
noon, when all the witnesses of the
tragedy testified. None saw the fatal
blow struck, but all agreed that Ham
lkon was the only man with whom
Day had been fighting. He was well
known in society circles.
Frank H. Hamilton came to this CITY

paoyed as sporting. reporter on one of

increased intelligence and mental
acumen are demanded of the business

Wichita, Kas.-A fowl which has
made wonderful flight was killed
southwest of the city by George
Springer. The fowl is what is known
as a Great Nor hern Diver. 1t is a
sea bird and by what whim or turn
OF circumstances it ever gained the
most inland of all inland states is be-
yond the conjecture of the biggest
shotgun expert in Wichita The
bird can not stand or walk, it's only
means of locomotion being by swim
ming. 1t resembles in many res
poets and in size wild goose. Its
legs are on it's back and are as fiat as
pancakes and even if they were
located correctly for walking would
not bear the weight of the bird. The
legs, however, are 80 constructed that
they can paddle close to the surface
of the water. 1t is said that this
fowl is the deepest diver among
aquatic creatures. This is the only
one ever killed in this ection.
