A MINNESOTA FARMER
WRITES OF WESTERN CANADA
WHERE HE is NOW LOCATED.
rhs Farms I'm His Neighborhood Are
Being Rapidly Taken Up by Former
Residents OF the United states.

The following extracts from letter
written to Mr.. Benz. Davies, Canadian
government agent at st. Paul, Mimi,
give an excellent idea of what is said
of Western Canada by those who have
gone there during the past two or three
years.
When we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near
Dalesboro, ASA, for short time we
had fit of the blues but now all
hands are settled TO business, hale,
hearty and contented, enjoying the
finest winter we have ever seen. we
have got very comfortably situated,
with considerable preparations for a
crop, and all hopeful. | think this Is
a very fine country, and II the past sea-
sons crop is not an exception, which
they claim not, believe this is going
to be the wheat field of the West. IL
is filling up fast. In this township last
spring there were 20 quarter-sections
OF land vacant and today there is not
one | can stand at my house and
count ten houses where there was not
one last spring, with six more to go up
this spring. This is only a sample or
what is going on all round. We intend
to build a church next summer, right
close to my place, so we will be strictly
in line. 1t would have amused you to
have been here last spring. There
were crowds of land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie Is not
very inviting, and of course lots were
discontinued. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
a letter in the paper, only for which
he never would have come here, and
he was very hostile, but eventually he
got place and today claims he would
not take thousand dollars and move
out, so | am glad he is satisfied.
well, my dear sir as Arthur Fin
ney is about to move out in March,
with his family, and also one of my
sons, anything you can do for them to
assist them along and to make things
smooth as possible, will be greatly
appreciated by me. will close for
this time. and will write from time to
time to let you know we are living.
Drop us few lines to let us know
how things are moving in st. Paul

MICHIGAN.
I5,Ioe q. A. RS in Michigan.

The report of Michigan department,
G. A. r., just made public, makes q
gratifying showing. The report, which
is for the last half of 1899, shows that
at the close of that period there were
in Michigan 3se posts with an aggre.
gate membership of 1902. The net
loss for the period named was only 81,
while the death loss alone was III.
When il is considered that there is no
young blood to be infused into the or
ganization, the work of Commander
Pealer and Adjt. Pond in the direction
of having all the veterans enrolled in
the order is quite manifest. They pre-
diet further substantial increase dur
ing the present six months. Four
years ago there were 373 posts and 49,
766 members. Since then there has
been gain of nine posts, but loss of
,662 members. OF the latter 1,423
died, leaving a loss of only 239 from
honorable discharges, transfers, etc.

Chas. +. Macrum, former L. $. con-

sons for leaving South Africa. 1t
seems that since the war broke out he
had been obliged TO serve in the posi-
tion of a British consul and not an
American consult that orders issued by
him to Americans in the Transvaal. in
structing them that they must remain
neutral, were disobeyed. many of the
L. ;. citizens taking the oath of al
legiance to the republic that they might
assist the Beers, and finally his vice
consul. Mr.. Van Amerigen, closed up
his business and went to the front as a
burger. All this together with the
fact that his mail was opened and read
by the censor at Durham, after being
held for weeks, prompted him in pur-
suing the course he did. believing that
his report of the existing state of af-
fairs at Pretoria should be made by
him in person TO his home government.

hoy Cholrs Abroad.

From the Baltimore Sun: My prin-
cipal object in England was to make
a tour of the cathedral towns to hear
their music and study their choir
methods. The training Of the boys
voices there is reduced to a science,
but it is a fact that the finest music
is not always to be found in the finest
cathedrals. The choir at Oxford sur
passed any Of those of the London
cathedrals, and that at Canterbury, the
first among English churches, is posi-
lively bad The boys at st. Pauls,
london, show marvellous training.
Kings college, Cambridge, and Mag
dalen, Oxford, probably have the best
trained choirs in the world The boy
voice doesn't seem to be well under
stood in Germany, where l heard sew
eral choirs. / never heard worse choir
music in my life than at Magdeburg,
where visited three churches, includ-
ing the cathedral. Church music in
Germany is far below par compared
with that of England.

Found Dead In the Street.

Congressman Charles A. Chickering,
of Copenhagen, n. Y, was found dead
outside the Grand Union hotel. in New
York on the 18th. He had either fall
len or jumped from fourth-story win
dow of the hotel. The speculation
about the manner of death led to the
conjecture that the man may have
been seized by fit of temporary in
sanity from rheumatic pains and jumped
out of the window in the night, or that
he was somnambulst and had walked
out of the window and clambered over
the fire escape. The body was taken
to Copenhagen for burial.

L,rgest suit Ever Started in America

The announcement in the papers on

OF the steel kings had been finally pre-
cipitated by II. c. FriclI filing the
widely heralded suit against Andrew
Carnegie and the Carnegie Steel Co,
praying for an equitable accounting of
the eX-chairman's stockholdings in the
giant steel company, created a sensa-
ton in financial and manufacturing
circles at Pittsburg, Pa. The suit is
regarded as the most important ever
filed in connection with the steel bust
ness, and it is said more money is at
stake than in any legal proceedings
ever brought in this country in which
all the parties were simply citizens.
Steel manufacturers view the trouble
as bitter personal struggle for SUI
premacy and are watching each move
with intense interest.

A SLIPPERY TOWN.

This town, built on the hillside slop-

average angle Of about As degrees.
Anyway, it seems that much to the
citizen who has to climb back home
from business at the close OF the day.
There are only two places in town
level enough for the schoolboys to
play marbles on, and the slope OF the
streets is such that many men haFing
for a front fence the ripples Of the
river have to walk upstairs to get into
their back yards. The result of these
conditions is that the old inhabitants
of the town have become singularly
dextrous in street navigation. Their
fingers are slightly hooked and
taloned. and in many cases their feet
are arched downward so that the toes
grasp the ground with tenacity

on at quickly increasing speed, some
twentyfold, some fftyfold, some an
