transmitted over zone seven miles

WESTERN CANADA's DEcEM.
BIER WEATHER EQUAL TO
THAT OF MAY IN MIN.
NESOTA.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Thomas Regain and C. Collins, Of
Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to-
Western Canada last December as dele
gates, to look over the grazing and
grain lands that are being offered at
such low prices and reasonable terms.
This is what they say:
"Wearrived in Calgary about the 10th
December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba.
we were surprised to find beautiful
warm weather at this point, quite equal
to what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of winter
to be seen, and the climate was really
splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep
were running out, in prime condition.
with plenty of feed on the prairie, and
really better than that of ours stabbed
in the south. We are impressed with
this country as one of the finest mixed
farming countries we have ever seen.
The immense tracts of fertile lands,
well sheltered and abundantly wa
tered, leave nothing to be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about. ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples of
grain we were able to see, wheat yield
ing rs bushels, oats 60 bushels. Roots
were also good specimens. From what
we have seen, we have decided to
throw in our lot with the Yorktoners
satisfied that this part of the coun-
try will furnish good opportunities
for anyone anxious to make the best
Of really good country. Any agent
of the Canadian Government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
the columns of your paper will give
you full particulars of the new dis
tricts being opened out this year in
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly.

AN "M. DIS" OPEN LETTER.

Benton, H., May 20th.-R. n. Duna-
way. NJ. d. OF this place, in an open
letter, makes the following startling
statement:
81 had Diabetes with all its worst
symptoms. 1 applied every remedy
known to the profession, as well as
every prescription suggested in our
books. In spite of all, / was dying,
and knew it.
'sAs last resort, and with scarcely
any faith whatever, commenced TAX
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills. In one week
I saw a great improvement. After I
had taken five boxes, was sound and
well. This is ten months ago, and I
have not taken any medicine of any
kind since, and am convinced that my
cure is permanent one.
AS practicing physician with
years of experience, I most positively
assert that Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best medicine in the world today,
for Diabetes or any other Kidney
disease. Since using them myself, I
have used them in many cases in my
practice, and they have never failed.
Il am making this statement as a
professional man, after having made
a most thorough test of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and because feel it my
duty to the public and to my profess
sIonal brethren. The truth can never
hurt anyone, and what I have said is
the absolute truth"
r. II. DUNAWAY. II. d.
It is no wonder that the public are
enthusiastic over this new medicine,
when our leading physicians them
selves. are being won over to its use.

schools at New York to Adopt Com
promise Between the Vertical
and the Spencerian Slant.

1t has been decided to abandon the
so-called vertical system of penman-
ship that has been taught recently in
the public schools of New York city
and to adopt system which is a
compromise between the vertical and
the Spencerian slant. Opinions of
business men who employ clerks
from the public school graduates
have had weight in deciding upon the
change of system. While all are not
agreed on this point, it seems to be
the general opinion that the vertical
system was slow and had other OBJ
jectionable features

DR.. Mcnamara, NJ. p. is skeptical of the
origin of most OF the witticisms ascribed to
children. He asserts that they are manu-
factured by children OF an older growth,
chiefly because they make good reading.
But in his own experience he has come
across some genuine witticislns, some of
them unconsciously humorous, by school
children. AT an examination in Scripture
the question was asked: what did Moses
do for living while he was with Jethro?''
SIR, he married one of Jethro's daughters D

others, that Mallahan was charged with
stealing coat, the property of Werlen.
Later Clerk VIM was asked where he
got the information which led him to
swear to the complaint against Mallahan.
He answered that he got it from police
men and the city jailer, whose books
contained a record of the arrest. Sol
Levy's blotter was then consulted with
the result that Mallahan was found to
be thereon charged with the larceny of
an overcoat owned by Theodore Werlen.
There Was Another Development
Again everything appeared to be all
right, until it developed that the over
coat in question was not stolen from
Werlen. Werlen, according to his state
ment to Chief Reynolds, bought the
coat from Mallahan. The coat was SUBJ
sequently claimed by Curley Mcdonald.
Chief Reynolds then saw that the COM
plant against Mallahan was erroneous,
as Mcdonald and not Werlen should
appear as the owner of the coat.
There was another development this
morning when Chief Reynolds was in
formed that the complaint now on file
in the court named Mcdonald as the
owner of the overcoat. He at once in
vestigated and found that such was
the case. He spoke to Clerk Winn and
the latter denied that the complaint
had been substituted for another. He
claimed the complaint now on file was
the same on which Mallahan was ar
raigned. Chief Reynolds differed with
Winn, as did two others who had read
complaint yesterday.
Talk Of a Compromise.
Clerk VIM then stated that in all
probability nothing would come of the
matter, as he had been given to under
stand that Mallahan and Werlen had
effected a compromise of the case. NAL
lahan had told Chief Reynolds that he
had been asked for S. by Werlen, whom
he said had declared a willingness to
withdraw the charge if the money was
paid. Malahan had declined, as he did
not recognize Werlen in the case at all.
Chief Reynolds then announced that
no compromise of the case could legally
be effected outside of the court. He
said, according to law, Mallahan must
stand trial unless the prosecuting witt
ness fails to appear against him. The
chief thinks the owner of the overcoat
alleged to have been stolen should APP
pear against Mallahan. Others think
as the chief does with an exception or
two among the court officials.
Curley Mcdonald is the owner Of the
overcoat according to the statement
of Werlen. Mcdonald q in Anaconda
and it is said has not e3en subpoenaed
to appear at the trial this afternoon.
It is not expected that he will appear
to prosecute Mallahan. Chief Reynolds
says: He laughs best who laughs
last"

TALK OF A COMPROMISE NOW

In police and court circles at the city
hall, today, the chief topic Of conversa-
ton was regarding the case Of r. r.
Mallahan, arrested Tuesday night on a
charge of petit larceny. The case has
attracted considerable attention and
moreover controversy which promises
to be interesting before it is concluded.
AS it was stated would be the case, yes
terday afternoon, Mallahan was again
in custody. He appeared according to
promise at the city hall and was brought
before Judge Boyle who ordered the re-
lease Of the man on his personal recog-
nizance to appear for trial this after
noon.
1t is not expected that Mallahan will
be tried this afternoon as Clerk VIM
stated this morning that he had been
tcld the parties concerned were going
to effect compromise. Clerk VIM in
sists that there is a regular complaint
against Mallahan and has been, since
Wednesday morning, but he did not ex-
plain how a man regularly charged with
petit larceny could effect compromise
In his case and take the matter from the
Jurisdiction Of the court.
Some Facts in the Case.
The exact facts in the case Of MALTA
han in addition to what were printed yes
terday afternoon are these: He was ar
rested without warrant at the order
of Chief Reynolds who accepted the word
Of Theodore Werlen that he would APP
pear in court and swear to a complaint
the following morning.
Werlen did not do as he is said to have
promised, but went to the county at.
torney's office where he was refused a
complaint. Chief Reynolds says he was
so informed by Assistant County Attor-
ney Yancey. Mallahan was arraigned in
the police court, however, on complaint
sworn to by Clerk VIM. The procedure
established no precedent as Clerk Winn
says he frequently does sucA things.
Mallahan pleaded not guilty and the
case was set for this afternoon.
Later when Chief Reynolds had his
talk with the county attorneys office he
stated that there was no complaint in
the police court against AIallahan. He
says he had previously asked if there
was complaint and had received a neg
alive reply. 1t was then that Mr..
Yancey said a complaint had been re-
fused Werlen against Mallahan at the
county attorneys Office, and Chief Rey-
nolds told Mr.. Yancey he would release
Mallahan from custody.
Where complaint Erred.
The matter was supposed to be ended
there, but not so. Chief Reynolds was
informed that there WAS 2 complaint in
the police court against Mailahan. The
ch.%c looked up the complaint and saw.
