A TERRIBLE Fate.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 25.-A letter has
been received here stating that John
Smith, a former, resident of this city,
had been .dey9ured by wolves short
distance from, a logging camp where
he was employed near Pressure Isle, in
Presque Isle county. The letter states
he strayed from the camp in the early
evening as he was in the habit of do
ing and the next morning his partially
devoured body was found in the snow,
That he fought desperately for his life
is evidenced by the bloody snow and
the carcass of wolf that was found
close to the body. Smith was veteran
of the Spanish-American war and was
quite well to do.

A QUIET FEELING.
Il II Displayed in Most Lines OF Trade
some of the Reasons Are
Given.

New York. Jan. PR. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: mo news Is
not always good news. New business fol-
manufacturers this year has been light
in some branches and much below the pro.
duction last month. II is perhaps too often
forgotten that industries start this year
with larger contracts ahead than ever be-
fore and when half the work of the whole
year has been ordered in advance there
cannot continue quite the same activity ID
new buying. The wooden manufacturer has
just opened a new season with the largest
transactions ever known In a single week,
1t Is said, but in most other lines contracts
previously booked would make similar ac-
tivity impossible. Yet there Is seen enough
of hesitation caused by advanced prices
to make inactivity trying. Distribution to
consumers throughout the country is rapid
and large. especially in quarters where IT
has been feared retailers were over
buying. so that there is strong confidence in
the future.
1.-THE boot and shoe manufacturer is re-
ceiving small orders, as jobbers pay the
prices asked only for such limited supplies
as are needed for sorting, but their urgency
to receive goods heretofore ordered is
marked, and shipments from Boston have

Wheat has advanced to 75B cents with
no clearer reason for such sharp ad-
vance. Western receipts are small, in four

A Sad Mistake.

Supposed to be suffering from the
effects of liquor, James Magee was
sent to the St. Paul workhouse when
he was dying of cerebral meningitis.
An autopsy proved what had caused
his death. Magee was so years of age
and apparently laborer. A police
man picked him up in West ST, Paul
week before. He was charged with
drunkenness and vagrancy because he
could not tell his address. He was
sent up for 40 days after spending a
day in the county Jail, as he was sup
posed to be sick, at the workhouse
he was seen to be ill, and accordingly
was sent to the city hospital, where
he died.

Reapers ON Ice.

During the seeding time of last
spring an immense arceage of flax
was sown in the low places on many
farms throughout the Red River: val
ley. The heavy rains of last Septem-
Der flooded the fields, in many places
with over a foot of water, making it
impossible to get on to the ground
with a reaper.
Later, when ice formed on the fax
fields, it found the grain standing
erect and in prime condition for cut
ting. The reapers were brought out
and the harvest began on the ice.
In many instances the grain saved
in this manner threshed over twenty
bushels to the acre and graded No.
The discovery that the grain could be
saved has been source of profit to
many farmers.
