A WISCONSIN, PAPER ON
WESTERN CANADA.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, One of the
Fnvoured Districts.

The following clipped from the cor
respondence columns of the Eau Claire,
(Wisconsin) Leader, is but one of
many letters of similar character
that might be published concerning
Western Canada, the land of No.
Hard Wheat and the best cattle on
the continent. 1t is a simple matter
to reach the lands spoken of, the Cana
dian Government having agencies es-
tablished at st. Paul and Duluth,
Minnesota; Grafton, North Dakota;

apolis, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie, and
Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Colum-
bus, Ohio, and by writing to or call

points full information can be Sc
cured. This is great opportunity to
secure a home free of cost or If you
desire to purchase lands; they can be
bought now at prices much lower than
will exist in Q few months. But read
what the correspondent referred to
has to say of one particular district.
To the Editor of the Leader:
"The rush of the land seekers will
be to the prairie provinces of the Do
minion of Canada. The allurements of
soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre are too great to be resist
ed, and an immense migration from
this country may be confidently pre-
dicted. People here laughed at first
at the idea of any one leaving the
United States for Canada, but the Do
minion authorities knew they had a
good thing and they stuck to it. Their
officials evidently knew the value of
printers ink. They spared no ex-
pense in letting the people of this
country know that these lands were
there and that they were exactly as
represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have had
them here at four consecutive street
fairs, presided over by one of their
ablest immigration officers. This gen.
tleman spared no pains. He explained
the value of the lands and the richness
of the soil from morning to night to
all comers.
"All this told in the long run. Sew.
eral went up from here to spy out the
land, and, like Caleb, the son of Jepun'
neh, and Joshua, the son of Nun
brought back good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in q
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle
upon farms there, and others are pre-
pairing to follow. Of course many will
appear shocked at the idea of any
one leaving the stars and stripes fol
the Union Jack, but patriotism is bu,
a nomenclature after all, and our ex
perience has been that in nine hun
dred and ninety-nine cases out of q
thousand, a man is the most patriotic
where he can make the most money
and do the most harm to those whom
he hates"

A S spring medicine Peruna is
n never failing remedy. 1t cleanses
IA the blood through digestion, and
gives tone to the whole system by in
creasing the nutritive value of the
food. "Spring fever" as it is some
times called, which produces tired
out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do
much mental or physical work, is the
result of sluggish digestion.
The great popularity that Peruna
has is due to the fact that in all such
cases it at once corrects digestive de-
rangements and enriches the blood by
purifying this very important source
of that vital fluid.

Fierce South African Beast Has q
Desperate Battle with Captive Of
Animal Show.

Desperate Baltic with Captive Of
Animal show.
Prince, the big South African lion
in an animal show at Jacksonville,
Fla, again distinguished himself the
other morning by killing big hyena.
While his cage was being cleaned
Prince sprang over the head of the
man and escaped into the tent. There
were few people about, but they were
scattered in great alarm.
Near was a fierce hyena that had
been taken out of it's cage on ac-
count of it's constant fights with its
mates. Prince spied this animal and
with n roar he leaped on it. The
hyena fought bravely, but the big
lion was too much for it and soon
killed it. The employees held the lion
at bay with red-hot irons and rapidly
built up barricade around him
Placing small cage at one side
Prince was driven from the carcass
of the hyena into the cage. The slid
ing door was shut down and he was
secure again. For an hour the ex
citement on Bay street was intense

he ran two blocks and plunged into

marriage of Miss Catherine Field, S23

father, on July Is.
Field alleges that the marriage is
strictly legal according in Jewish law.
claiming the law of Moses, which, dis
tinctly prohibiting marriage between
aunt and nephew. does not mention al
liances between uncle and niece. The
Rabbinical law also fails TO prohibit
such marriages.
According to Rabbi Kant of 922 West
9th street. this is only a loophole.
THE Jaw of the church is subservient
to the civil law" says Kant. although
the marriage may be sanctioned by
Moses, modern Jewish scholars and
rabbits distinctly condemn any evasion
OF the civil law"
The fields are n prominent Jewish
family. Nathan Field, father OF the
bride. and father-in-law. as well as
brother to the bridegroom. said that his
enemies have inspired the talk con-
cerning the marriage. He expressed no
fear concerning possible legal action
against him and the couple. as he says
the church law upholds him.

THE INJUNCTION MODIFIED.
Chicago Dat Shorts Protected Any
Corner by the Bulls.

Chicago, July 31.-Ju6ge Chytraus, to-
day, modified the injunction issued, yes
terday, restraining the Chicago Board of
Trade and the Board of Trade operators.
James A. Patten, Darlington. Patten &
Co., and Bartlett, Frazier & Co.. from
conducting a corner in July standard oats,
by restraining the defendants from asking
the president of the Board of Trade -
endorse down margins deposited by the
complainants. Waite Thorburne & Co.
to secure 5000 bushels of short sales.
The court held session before the open
ing hour of the Board of Trade in order
that a decision might be arrived at before
business was begun. So important, how
ever. did the court consider the prece-
dent of the case that the motion for
dissolution of the temporary injunction
was not considered and the case will come
up for further adjudication, next week.
The effect of the action of the court is
for the time being to protect the com
plainants against any alleged corner and
is construed as working against the bull
clique of operators on the board.
The defendant members of the board, in
answer to the Injunction denied the af-
firmation that July standard oats were
worth not in excess of 81 cents buShci
and said they were worth more than that
price. They also denied any conspiract
among themselves or with Joseph Bid
we'll grain inspector, to corner July oats
or to forestal the market in that COM
modify or to raise the price of July oats.
They denied that they had given fict
tious value to the article and that they
had made any purchases for July deliv-
cry since July !.
Judge Chytraus before modifying the or
der told the attorneys he did not consId-
er that the injunction restrained the de-
PENDANTS from bidding, buying or selling
or refusing to buy or sell July oats in the
pit or from any of their accustomed bust
ness operations aside from those in con-
nection with the complaints.

ABOUT 100000 LOSS.
Texas Has Suffered Severely from
Floods-The Brazos Falling.

Dallas, Texas. July 31.-The only raw
of hope which penetrates the gloom of
the flood situation comes from the
weather reports which predict fair skies
and the fact that the BraZos river at
Waco IS falling again. Railways are
tied up worse than ever before in the
history of the state. Six lives lost WAS
the total reported, "Wednesday.
An accurate estimate OF the losses
is impossible, but with the damage to
railroads. the drowning of livestock,
the washing away of bridges, resi-
dences and business houses, in addition
to the damage to cotton and other
crops. it is safe to say that $1,000,000
will be a conservative amount.
The Brazos river after inundatinS

of Waco is reported falling steadily
at Waco, but rising slowly below
Harne 1t is estimated that there are
from 3OOe to 1000 acres of cultivated
lands under water near Harne.
A rough estimate of the number of
acres of cotton and other crops prac-
tically ruined in the Brazos bottoms is
10000.
