1l:3O p. M, from Il complication of di-
senses, at the age Of 20 years, II months
and days.
The deceased was a daughter of S.
M. Nelson of New London. Her par
ents, three sisters and three brothers
survive her. All the members of the
family were gathered at the bedside
during the last hours. She passed
away peacefully, calmly awaiting the
release from her sufferings. The de-
ceased had spent seventeen months in
Colorado and New Mexico, in the
hope that her pulmonary troubles
would be relieved, but a complication
of other diseases set in and destroyed
whatever chances of recovery she pos
sessed. She was taken back from AL
buquerque, N. NJ, about three weeks
previous to her death, but after reach
ing Willmar never became sufficiently
strong to admit removal to the Nest
Lake home.
The funeral took place last Sunday
afternoon. Services we're held at the
country home, after which the remains
were taken to the Swedish Lutheran
church at New London, where Rev.
Collin preached the funeral sermon.
The interment took place in the Leba-
non cemetery. A large number Of
people attended the services and wit
messed the last sad rites.

RESUME OF THE
WEEKS PROCEEDINGS.
The senate.

Washington, Feb 6.-Senator Caffery
of Louisiana, in a discussion Of the
Philippine question in the senate yes
terday broke new ground in develop
Ing his position as an tntl-eXpansion-
list. In response TO question rs to
what, in the present circumstances, he
would do with the Filipinos, he said.
with characteristic courage of convic-
ton: Turn them loose as soon as we
can get rid Of them. That would be
better for thela and infinitely better
for u.s." Mr.. Caffery's argument was
mainly discussion of the constitu-
tional question. He maintained that
the constitution extends absolutely
over the Filipinos, and that they are
entitled to all the rights and privileges
Of citizens Of the United States guar
anteed by the constitution.
The senate in executive session rati-
fed The Hague peace treaty, also the
extradltion treaty with Argentine Re
public. Both were adopted without
objection or division.

A FORMER AMERICAN SAYS.
Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
/ More Than Doubled Their Stock.

Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their stock.
The following letter, written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, AL
berta, Canada formerly of Washing
ton, to a friend in the United States,
Is only one Of hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr. Cummings
can more easily be done today by any
good, sober and industrious farmer
who chooses to make his home in the
dominion.
Dear Sir: You want to know how 1
got along since / came into Northern
! Alberta. / am happy to inform you
that am not ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast Of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash,
on the 10Th day Of May, driving all the
way. We had time to build our
log house the first fall, and to make
us comfortable for the family and
stock. We then built four stables, 1Sx
20 inside, SO that we could put every
thing inside them when the cold got
down to the fifties, and worked hard
getting up the stables, and got through
clubbing on the 1st of December; but,
to our surprise, We had no use for the,
stables only for the milk cow and two
spans of horses. The balance of the
horses lived on the prairie all winter,
and took care Of themselves. The doors
of two stables were left open for them
to go into in cold time, but they
would not do it, but stayed out on the
prairie the coolest night we had, and
looked as spry as crickets.
/ can go ten rods back Of my house
and count ten residents. / know ALI
of their circumstances. Every one of
them have doubled their cultivated
land, and doubled their animals, and
a great deal more. All of us are COM
paratively out of debt and an unusual
ly big crop to thresh and prospects of
a fair price, and / expect we are as
well contented lot of people as there
is to be found from Florida to the
Klondike.
My son bought two pounds of twine
to the acre, and when we started to
bind some barley we found that in
stead of taking two pounds to the acre,
1t was taking nearly five pounds. Then
you ought to have seen him hitch up a
team and make for town for 100 pounds
more / cannot say how 1t will thresh.
All can say is that it is well-headed.

night session unless quorum were
present. His warning had its effect.
There was an unusually large attend
aiWe when the house was called to or.
der ut 8 O'Clock. Mr.. Hepburn OF Iowa
was called to preside over the com
mittec of the whole and the clerk read
the first BILL Talbert rose leisurely
while the bill was being put through
the legislative stages, the adoption of
committee amendments, engrossment,
third reading and final passage and
passed the chair He was completely
ignored Another bill was read, en-
crossed read Il third time and passed,
all in the space of minute, with Mr..
Talbert still clamoring for recogni-
ton. A third bin was passed in the
same way. BY this time the whole
Democratic side was aroused. A doz-
en- members were or their feet. Mr..
Talbert, thoroughly aroused, started
down the main aisle shouting: "Mr.
Chairman" mir. Chairman" as he ap-
preached. He reached the area In
front of the speakers rostrum, all the
while roaring out his denunciation of
the chairman's arbitrary course before
the chairman condescended to recog-
nize him. Mr.. Talbert rapidly cooled
down after he had been recognized.
and explained in a brief speech that
the presence of quorum had COM
pletely indicated his position.
The Senate.
AS no senator was prepared TO pro-
coed with discussion of the finance
measure yesterday the senate trans
acted only routine business and ad-
journed early to enable members to at
tend the obsequies of Gen. Lawton.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1900-02-15
The Senate.

Washington, Feb. Until the finan-
cial measure now pending before the
senate is disposed of finally it will be
considered by the senate each legis-
lative session to the exclusion of all
but purely routine business. This de-
cisiQn will have the effect of cutting
off debate on the Philippine question
and other matters except by unani.
nous consent. unless senators choose
TO discuss other matters in the time
they devote to the financial bill. Mr..
Caffery spoke on the Philippine ques-
ton, holding the United States should
restore the status quo and then confer
independence on the Filipinos. Mr..
Butler of North Carolina discussed at
length the proposed amendment to the
constitution OF North Carolina in an
swer 10 speeches delivered by Senators
McEnery and Money.
The House.
The Philippine question again occu-
pied the attention of the house yester-
day with n slight DEPRESSION concern
ing the war in South Africa. The
feature of the debate was the speech
of Mr.. Williams of Mississippi, who
presented an argument against the an
nexation of the Philippines which at
tracted much attention. 1t vas de-
voted almost entirely 10 the CONNER
cial aspects of the acquisition holding
that the absorption of the islands
would be ultimately ruinous to the
American producers Of cotton, rice, to-
bacco. hemp aud sugar. Mr.. Morris of
Minnesota made an exhaustive legal
argument in support of the right to
hold and govern the islands. The
other speakers were Messrs Gibson of
Tennessee, w. A. and III. c. Smith of
Michigan, Cochran of Missouri and
Neville of Nebraska. The general de-
bate on the diplomatic bin closed yes
terday and to-day it will be taken up
for amendment under the tive-minute
rule.

The Senate.

Washington, Feb. S.-A lively tilt be-
tween Mr.. Depew of New York and
Mr.. Pett!grew was the feature in the
early proceedings of the senate yes
terday. Mr.. Depew read letter from
President Schurman, of the Philippine
commission, fatty contradicting state
ments made by Mr.. Pettigrew in a
speech several days ago and then COM
mented caustically upon the methods

financial bill was then resumed.

Washington, Mr.. Bate of Tennessee
and Mr. Allen of Nebraska. all in OPP
position to the pending measure.
The House.
The house finished the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill yester-
day, passing 1t substantially as 1t came
from the committee. There was some
discussion Of the Philippine question
and the war situation In South Africa,

Of Mr.. Shaforth in favor OF mediation
IN the British Boer war under the pro-
visions Of The Hague treaty. The
diplomatic bill, as passed, carries 3d.
743,90S
Washington, Feb. 0. - Almost imme-
Nately after the senate convened yes
terday discussion OF the financial
measure was resumed. Mr.. Allen Of
Nebraska concluded his speech charg-
ing the Republican party with break
ing faith with the people on bimetal-
ism and Systematically discrediting the
work of the international bimetallic
commission. Mr.. Cockrell of Missouri
also addressed the senate on the finan-
cial bill, making n technical analysis
OF the house and senate measures,
charged that the senate substitute con-
taiLed the initial movement toward
the perpetuation of the national debt.
The Senate.
Washington, Feb. 10.--There was
scene at the night session or the house
last night which momentarily recalled
the stirring and exciting days of the
Fifty-first congress. An rate member
rushed down the main aisle brandish,
ing his arms ard shouting for recogni-
ton, while halt the Democratic mem
bers were on their feet execrating the
occupant Of the chair for what they
termed his arbitrary course, and from
