Accident or Murder.

The body of William ID. HOLSTER,
the American express agent at oxford.
was found on the Michigan Central
railroad tracks at II o'clock Wednes-
DAY night. The body had been cut in
two by passing train. There was Il
huge cash i'm one side of the unfortu-
nate mans head. and this had led TO
talk of foul play.
H0llister was last seen alive about
$50 o clock. He had been very i'll all
day, and the symptoms became aggra-
waited in the evening. He had a money
package to deliver to the express mes
senger on the $50 train for Detroit
Although he was suffering greatly
hc made the trip to the station and
delivered the package. which contain
ed 500. Whether he received any
money or valuable packages from the
messenger is not known. None were
found on his person or near where he
WAS found. Neither was his receipt
book in evidence. The authorities are
of the opinion that his death was an
accident.

keep it fresh. They also have plenty
OF water streams, and as rule water

there can be plenty OF hay mown Tor

liable farmers to tell me that their
stock will feed on hay alone, and be
ready FOR market in the spring. Upon
inquiring about the expense OF raising
a steer, a farm replied that he did
not consider it would cost any more
than S4 or Sc to develop a three-year-
old steer.
/ truly think Canada offers fine
opening for young man or man
who is renting land in Indiana. One
hundred and sixty acres OF good black
land will cost you on.y $40 at the time
you enter it, and by blowing and cuI-
tivating five acres each year for three
years. gives you one hundred and sixty
acres OF good land for $40. This land
can be bought from the railroad com
panies. private corporations or the gov

lieve that for series OF years (five)

sideration the clearing, ditching. fenc-
ing and the expensive breaking in or
the stumps, and then compare the ex-
pense TO that of land needing only the

phere, which was bracing and refresh
ing and the cool nights which made il

On making inquiries regarding the
winters in this country, | learned that
the people never suffer from the cold,
as the weather is dry and invigorat-
ing, and in great many places farm
ers and herders allow their stock to
run outside the year round.
One great advantage TO the settlers
in Western Canada is the free cream
cries established by the government
and run exclusively in the interest
OF the farmer.

Rescued His Own Son.

A number Of boys were playing on
the Recreation Pier at North Second
street, Brooklyn, the other day, when
the cry was raised that one of them
had fallen into the river. He was a
little fellow only seven years old. It
was a dangerous place to fall, for the
water is deep and the current strong
One of the boys, with more presence
OF mind than the others, ran along the
pier to the place where a policeman
was on duty marshalling the boys who
were going into the baths. He told
the policeman OF the accident, and the
officer promptly ran TO the place.
Flinging off his tunic and helmet, he
dived into the river, and soon came up
with the boy. Holding him by one
hand and swimming with the other. he
reached the pier and passed him up
to the hands stretched out to take him.
Then, to his establishment, he recog-
nized in the boy his own beloved child.
The shock was so great that the police
man came near swooning, but his de-
light when the child recovered con-
seriousness, was beautiful to see. How
thankful he must have been that he
was so prompt in the efforts he made
to rescue the child! II men are as

Senator Tillman, OF South Caro-
lima, one OF the most persistent
criers for the consent of the COY
erned" in last years campaign, re-
newed his belief in the shot gun and
hemp rope policy the other day for
suppressing the negro in the
southern states. Again the familiar
quotation about consistency is
brought to mind, but then, such
actions among the demo-pops have
been very frequent in the last year
or two, Tillman is only an example
OF many OF the leaders in the fusion
for ces. By their very inconsistency
they show their chief motive TO be
that OF self aggrandizement. The
people to ~ large extent are &C
quainted with these methods and
the defeats OF 1896 and 1900 were
largely caused by these conditions.
Men like David Hill and Henry Wat
terson reailze this fact and dfor these
reasons they demand a reorganiza-
ton OF the Democratic party.

their cases in a more gentlemanly
way with a hemp rope. Perhaps it
