A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields of Wheat I'm which the Stocks
Were So Thick II Was Impossible
to Drive Between Them.

To the Editor:
A gentleman from Duluth made o
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
field that it would be almost impossi-
BILE to drive between them. Winters,
1t 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 se.tlers 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.

COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10.-Mrs. j. B.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was SO very bad that for the last
three years, she has not been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
the time, but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever OF
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
derful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
tallxed-of remedy ever known in White
County.

DUKET'S RECOVERY DO UBTFUE.
CenterviIle Poisoning Victim Became
 Much Worse Last Night.

Antone Duket, one of the Centerville victims of poisoning, was taken sud- denly worse at the New Haven hospi- tai late last night and it was thought at 2 o'clock this morning that he could not recover.
 Deputy Coroner Pond is still investi- gating the poisoning case which result ed in the death Monday evening of Mrs. Antone Duket, of Centerville. The deputy coroner ascertained yesterday that MT. and Mrs. Duket spent last Sunday at the home If Joseph Caboro- witz, on Lilac street, and that while there they partook of a dinner consist ing of bologna, sausage, sauerkraut and of some home made cherry wine. Five persons drank of the wine, MT. and Mrs. Duket, Caborowitz, their host, and two other guests, both Polanders.
 Caborowitz was found critically i'll at his home yesterday and the other two guests who joined the party later and did not drink so much of the wine as did the rest were slightly, not danger ously i'll. It is thought that the poison ing resulted from something in the wine, but what the poison was is yet unknown and will not be known until the report of the autopsy and chemical analysis are made to the deputy cor pner. This report will probably be made to-day.
 Caborowitz was better last night and it was thought that he would recover. It was learned last night that there is something in the symptoms of each of the victims of the poisoning which renders the nature of the poison ob- scure.
 Deputy Coroner Pond went to the Lilac street house to question Caboro- witz yesterday afternoon but found him asleep and not thinking it wise to awaken him in his precarious condition deferred the questioning until to-day.
 It is regarded as singular that the poisoning developed so long after the wine was taken and that the effects have lasted so long, this being some thing different than occurs in ordinary cases of poisoning.

 British People

British People. | London, Feb. 5.--Emperor William returned on board the imperial yacht 1 Hohenzollern at Port Victoria on his
 way home after receiving from London crowds demonstrative expressions of their appreciation of his prolonged vsit to England. The emperor's passage through London from Windsor, howev- CT, was somewhat marred by bad weather Unmistakable evidence of the place he has won in the hearts of the English people was seen in the affec- tion with which he was bidden farewell by the king, the Duke of Connaught and other members of the royal family. A naval parade greeted the emperor's arrival at Port Victoria, when all the war vessels dressed ship, this being further evidence of the exceptional off, cial and cordial relations existing. Elm peror William was accompanied by the crown prince. Frederick William, and the Duke of Sparta.
 The Hohenzollern sailed from Ports- mouth at 5:30 p. m. bearing the emper- or and his suite.
 The Hohenzollern anchored this eve- ming In Sheerness harbor. She will sail at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, es- corted by the German cruiser Nymphe and the British cruisers Niobe and Minerva.

FOR FALSELY OB7,f MING PENSION
Woman Posed as a Widow When She

Danbury, Feb 5.--Mrs. Harriet D. Bradley, an old woman of sixty-five, who was arrested in Norwalk to-day by Assistant United States Marshal Parmelee on charge of obtaining a pension upon false representations, was arraigned before United States Com mIssioned Walsh this afternoon and held for trial. She was taken to the New Haven jail. Mrs. Bradley's case has excited much sympathy. She was married to Loci Bradley, soldier in the civil war, and after his death she obtained a widows pension. The gov ernment claims that she was divorced and therefore falsely represented her self to be Bradley's widow. Mrs. Brad ley is utterly without funds and has no relatives or friends to care for her interests.
