A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields Of Wheat I'm Which the Stocks
Were So Thick 1t Was Impossible
tn Drive Between Them.

70 the Editor:
A gentleman from Duluth made a
trip through a portion of Western
Canada last summer, and writing of
what he saw, says:
wheat, for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. I saw shocks so thick in the
feld that it would be almost impossi-
BILE to drive between them. Winters,
it is said, are longer than near Duluth.
but the Japan current, warm chinook
winds and dry atmosphere make the
winters comparatively mild
Thousands of such testimonies are
to be had from settlers who have
taken advantage of the low-priced
lands of Western Canada. During the
present year new districts will be
opened up in the Saskatchewan Val
ley, and advantage should be taken of
this at once. Information can be had
from any agent of the Government,
whose advertisement appears else
where in your columns.
Yours truly,
OLD READER.

TURNS UP SKELETONS.
The Remarkable Discovery OF q Can
adian Farmer Seems Beyond
Explanation.

On the farm of Andrew Dean, at
Jordan, Ont, there has just been
plowed up over 500 human skeletons.
No records in history accounts for
such find. There is no account of a
battle in that neighborhood. Skulls
are found from that of an infant to
the fully developed one of an adult,
so it must have been a whole village
destroyed by some ruthless enemy.
But who were they?
There was no settlement of white
people there to be destroyed, and be-
fore the advent of the white men two
great tribes of Indians-the Rdrons
on the west and the Iroquois on the
east-had agreed by treaty to recog-
nize this territory between the two
great lakes from Niagara extending
westward about 40 miles as neutral
territory. Before that they had
warred over this section, but as Meth
er could hold possession there was no
village of either tribe to account for
such wholesale slaughter as this had
been. ~

Ftr.t Half OF Cen.u. Report.

The director of the census has is
sued the first half of the final census
report on population, showing the ag-
gregate population of the United
States by states and territories, the
density of population, the center of
population in it's medium point, the
population of Alaska and of the Ha-
waiian islands; the number of repre-
sentatives apportioned under the re-
cent act of congress, and also the pop
ulation of the states and territories
by minor civil divisions, the population
of cities having $4,000 inhabitants or
more in 1900, the increase of popula-
ton in the same, and the populations
of incorporated cities, towns, villages
and boroughs in the year 1900.
This report is issued in the form of
a monograph and comprises about 500
pages. The other portion of the final
report on population will be issued
during the early fall, putting the en-
tire volume in the hands of the public
at least four years in advance of any
previous census.

Mother and Queen.

Queen Victoria always made it a
point to keep the religious instr,>c-
ton of her children as much as pos
sible in her own hands. Once when
the archdeacon of London was cate
chizing the young princes, he said:
"Your governess deserves great
credit for instructing you so thor
oughly."
At which the youngsters piped up:
cit is mamma who teaches us our
catechism!"
1t is not perhaps generally known
that the queen occasionally taught a
Bible class for the children of those
in attendance at Windsor palace

INTERESTING CASE.
Is ACTION OF TOWNSHIP BOARD FINAL ON
DRUGGISTS BoNDsY

One Ply G. Bailey resides at South
Haven and he desires TO enter into bus
mess as a druggist. The drug business
is somewhat overdone at the famous Van
Buren, county resort town, there being
few desirable locations in that burg not
already occupied by druggists and regis
tered pharmacists. Probably there is
not town in Michigan that has as many
druggists per capita as has our sister vii
| lage.
So il was but natural that Mr.. Bailey
should seek a more eligible location,
some place in which competition in the
drug business would not be likely to be
as keen as i'm his native town.
The thriving little town of Covert is
located but a few miles from South
Haven, and as there is but a single drug
store in that burg, Mr.. Bailey decided to
enter into business at that place
Accordingly he and his lawyer, A. l..
Hammond, presented bond to the town
ship board of Covert and asked that the
board give it the stamp of its approval.
This bond was signed by Mr.. Bailey
as principal and by Joshua Stuller of
South Haven and Andrew Donovan of
Arlington as sureties.
After making due investigation the
township board declined to approve this
| bond on the ground of insufficient surety.
Mr.. Stuler and Mr.. Donovan were each
on South Haven druggist bond, and
! Mr.. Stuller was surety on some of the
Napier bonds i'm the circuit court, and
| the board concluded their liabilities were
getting too heavy.
Mr.. Hammond petitioned Judge Carr
for a writ of mandamus TO compel the
board to take further action. An order
was made for the board to show cause
why such writ should not issue The
petitioner charged the board with bad
faith and caprice and alleged that his
bondsmen were wealthy and that the
proffered bond was ample security. The
board returned that its action was taken
in good faith and after due and thorough
investigation of the financial standing of
the sureties.
Mr.. Hammond asked the court to
frame an issue of fact, on the trial of
which jury should pass upon the ques-
ton of the good faith of the township
board. After listening to the arguments
of counsel, L. H. Titus appearing for the
board, the court denied the petitioners
request.
Mr. Hammond applied to the supreme
court for writ of mandamus to compel
Judge Carr to frame such issue of fact,
and that court made an order to show
cause why such writ should not be is
sued
Judge Carr has made his return to
such order, stating in full the proceed
ings that have been had, and the matter
now stands for hearing in the supreme
court.
This is a case of Importance, especially
to the people of Van Buren, county
where drug stores are so abundant, and
the decision of the higher court will
be awaited with much interest.
