to get into their fields and some Of

winter that had been much plea.
santer than had been experienced
in Michigan and New York, and
with but few days when the
thermometer registered lower than
in southern Minnesota and north
ern Iowa. Because Of the open
winter and the pleasant weather
following, the storm Of the 14th
inst. found the people of the state
uuprepared for it and as a result
there was some suffering among
the people in the country districts,
a few lives lost, and some damage
done to focks and herds, but these
cases were exceptional, the large,
very large majority Of the people
of this state getting through the
cold spell without serious incon-
venience of any kind.
Contrary to the advice of real
estate men. a number of people
from Iowa and other states who
had purchased farms in this state
last fall or during the winter, and
who were anxious to get upon them
and get settled, came out here dur
ing the pleasant weather Of the
early part Of the month and put
up temporary shelters in which to
live until they could build. They
would not have taken such chances
in Iowa or elsewhere at that time
of the year, and they are altogether
to blame for the suffering they
have endured. They realize this,
however, and admit their own fool
hardness and are not inclined to
blame the state for their lack of
judgment.

the western part Of the state for

FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1902.
DRIVEN TO FOREIGN TER
~ RITORY.

No great measure ever found its
way to the statute books without
the most serious and frequently
the s%illiest kind of opposition.
This is especially true of all new
legislation. It is therefore not sur
prising that among the three hun
dred and fifty odd members Of the
House of Representatives there
should be found several persistent
opponents of the irrigation bill,
which was passed by the senate
unanimously. The great home
stead bill, to which the American
people owe SO much, met with
similar obstacles. But national
irrigation legislation will succeed,
because it is right. Ten thousand
American home seekers have gone
into Manitoba this year, driven
there on account of the scarcity Of
vacant arabic land in the United
States. Had congress enacted
irrigation Legislation last year
the Sc people would have secured
homes in North Dakota, Montana
and adjacent states where the flood
waters r now going to waste in
stead of being used to reclaim the
parched plains. Gentlemen who
would reform the senate should
turn their attention to the so call
ed popular branch of congress.

I can sympathize with you. What a pity

"Well, it doesn't. You see, either of
them could take a six weeks trip without
worrying about me and they don't realize
that Jack is different. Even mamma is
not usually sympathetic; she wants to go
to Europe in June, and papa has promised
that she shall if Jack has a financially sue

"Well, it's a shame, but the time will

worse, he has to propitiate all the can

The Crazy paper criticises the
editorial department Of the Inter-
Ocean. Coming from such emil
nent authority the criticism is all
the more crushing.

It will be we'll for the farmers Of
Ramsey county to abandon the
raising Of wheat and devote their
rich acres to the cultivation Of
fax, barley, oats and corn. The
big immigration to the Canadian
provinces north of us means the
opening up of millions Of acres Of
wheat lands this summer and the
production Of a sufficient quantity
of wheat to supply foreign mar
kets. The area available for wheat
raising in the province of Mani
toba, is calculated to be 900
acres. About 100000 Of these
we're in wheat last year, and pos
sibly there will be 100000 acres
in wheat the present season.
With this tremendous increase in
production the outlook for a good
price for wheat within the next
few years is not bright.

THIS Is TRUE.

Our own State offers more opportu.
mites for the Industrious immigrant
than any Western State that can be
named. 1t produces fifty-two field
crops, as fine quality of livestock as is
raised anywhere, and enjoys excellent
climatic conditions. Drouth,. pesti-
lence and billiards, which are frequent
in the West, are almost unknown in
this part of the world. 1t has What
others lack, and what some others en-
JOY it has not. But all are in close
proximity to markets by land and
water, and all are pregnant with oppor-
unity. But all over the South we are
in need of thrifty, enterprising people
to aid in the work of building the State,
and the hand of fellowship will be
found extended t. all who come in
good faith to work.

of the life and times of Thomas Jeffer-

tions, gems Of poetry, brilliant humor,
interesting anecdotes, and noble

BEDDING.
THELATE SETH TODD.

An aged and esteemed citizen of this town departed from this life on the 24th ult., Seth Todd. He was de- scendant from Christopher Todd of England, whose son early came to the New World and was one of the first settlers in the New Haven Colony. An ancestor had a mill long known as Todd's mill in New Haven, where St Paul's church now stands. His father, Sherlock Todd, came to Bedding from Easton and was long known as one of the prominent Methodists. MT Todd was 80 years, one month and five days old when he died.\ He married DebO- rah Burr, also of this town, who sur wives him. They had five children, Henry Burton of Meriden, Charles Burr, Adah Josephine, Jennie Lizallah who married Edgar T. Andrews of Bethel, Hattie Estelle, who married Rev Arthur l.. Candee of Golden, Col, !, all of whom are still living. The fun eral services were held at the house on the 27th, ,and the remains inferred in the cemetery on Bedding Ridge, Rev c.. A. Viets officiating. MT Todd was a consistent member of the Methodist church here, in which he had held many offices. From it's beginning "be- fore the war,' he had been a member of the republican party and never failed to cast his vote since he att tained majority.
