MANITOBA 8
THE RUSH TO MANITOBA
Enormous Land Grant to the c. p. r. l!
Fast Melting Away.

Fast Melting Away.
WINNIPEG, MAN.-Not long since the
general opinion was that the Canadian
Pacific road would not be able to dis
pose Of its land grant within the next
hundred years. Years ago the road had
100000 acres on it's hands; to-day it
has not much more than 100000 and the
sales of 1902 will probably total 3,000,-
900 acres. The time when it will not have
an acre Of land for sale, therefore, appears
to be within measurable distance.
The land office is crowded daily with
land seekers and spectators, and pur-
chasers are not now confined to the west
ern states, but the fever for securing
lands In western Canada has spread I'M
til there are purchasers from almost every
state in the union.
The price Of land has increased almost
as rapidly as the demand Sections which
could be purchased year ago for So and
81 an acre are. now quoted at double that
figure and in some cases prices run as
high as $40 an acre.
Transactions in land in Manitoba and
the northwest, if confined to the railroad
and land companies, which give out
monthly reports, would appear great but
hundred Of thousands of acres held by
private companies and individuals change
hands every month, of which the public
learns nOCQlnS. Ine average real estate
man is averse to giving out such informa-
ton, as it has often the effect of excit-
ing the private holder of properties to
such an extent that he raises the price to
an absurd figure and prevents business. <
The American railroad companies have
been running a series Of weekly excursions
for the convenience of land seekers. Those
who take advantage Of these arrive in
Winnipeg on Wednesdays. Last Wednes-
day upwards of 120 arrived and scattered
throughout Manitoba and the northwest.
Fully as many are expected tomorrow.

PEARRE'S MANFUL, FRANK AND OPEN
FIGHT.

The Republican Congressional Con
vention Thursday nominated the
Hon. George \. Pearre, of Allegany
county, as candidate for Congress.
This was what all expected and every
Republican hoped would take place
Although it was generally understood
before the convention met that Col.
Pearre would be nominated without
opposition, the convention was full of
interest and enthusiasm and every
delegate present seemed anxious to
record his vote in favor of the nomi-
nation of that gallant gentleman VINO
has so splendidly represented the
Sixth District of Maryland in Con-
gress for the last two terms. The
delegates one after another as
cended the rostrum and followed en-
conium by eulogy in referring to the
distinguished gentleman. His public
acts, his manful, frank and open
fight for the principles of the Repub-
ican party, his manifestly sincere
belief in mission of the party of which
he is an honored exponent, his ability
to advocate and uphold these princi-
pies, his loyalty to his friends, his
conscientious attention to duty all
receive the endorsement, that is the
highest, the endorsement of his
friends, neighbors and fellow citizens.
His nomination is equivalent to an
election. He will be elected ,by a
handsome and substantial majority
which will reflect the solidity of this
district for the Republican principles
and the high estimation in which
Col. Pearre is held by his constitu
ents irrespective of party. In accept
ing the honor thrice conferred Col.
Pearre sounded few of the issues of
the campaign and placed the propo-
sitions before the people in manner
that can receive but one answer. Col.
Pearre showed first that the country
prospered under Republican admin
istration, and secondly that the party
had fultilled its promise made to Cuba,
thirdly that the questions raised by
the acquisition of the Philippine Is
lands could be solved by the Republi-
can party and fourthly that as be-
tween the patriots of this united
country and the Filipino patriots, the
Republicans always chose the former.
The Republicans have reason to be
specially gratified with the conven-
ton, its work, its candidate and the
outlook for the future.

MURDERER MOORE HAS FREE REIN.
Shoots a Man at Work in the Woods Near
Franklin.

Shoots Man at Work in the Woods Near
Franklin.
A special from Piedmont ON Satur-
day says of a man supposed to be
Moore, who recently committed a
cold blooded murder at Barton. Allie
gany county:
Yesterday afternoon about four
o'clock, as Mr.. Robert Dayton and a
force of three men were cutting pulp
wood above Franklin Mines, one of
his men heard voice say: Git out of
here pretty d-n quick The man
looked up and about twenty feet
away from him stood a man with a
Winchester in his hands and two re-
volvers strapped on his girth. The
man was given further admonition to
move at once or he would be killed.
He tried persuasion and argument,
but it was no good, so he stopped his
work and started to join his compan-
ions, and as he crossed fence the
man shot at him with his Winchester
and the bullet came close and was i'm
bedded in the fence. He and the
others think it is the man Moore, the
Barton murderer. The people in that
vicinity are very much worried lest
Moore kill some other innocent per-
son.

Letter to d. E. BOlden & Co.

Dear Sir: There are two sorts of
furniture. You know both; for you
sell 'em both. One sort looks better
than it is, and the other is better
than it looks. There isn't any other
sort.
The same, two sorts of paint, no
more; and we make 'em both-we
make tons of stuff that isn't worth it's
freight. Belongs to the business
have to. Belongs to your business
you have to.
But this is aside. We put into cans
with our name on, the very best paint
there is in the world: Devoe lead and
zinc. 1t is twice as good as lead and
oil: lasts twice as long. And we take
the risk of it-there isn't any risk.
Yours truly,

Temperance Reform in Friendsville.

Temperance Reform in Friendsyille.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Will you please allow space in the
present number of your excellent
paper for few thoughts under the
above topic.
Friendsville is now the second town
in Importance in Garrett county. 1t
has been growing in population and
influence for a number of years. Our
people have been blessed with pros
perity and many have come into the
possession of considerable wealth. We
have a shrewd and enterprising set
of business men-men who would be
credit to any community. We now
also have well equipped National
bank, which supplies need that has
long been felt by our business men.
Our legislators in recent years have
favored our election district with
splendid local option laws. So that
the open saloons which for years had
been menace and a curse to our
society have been abolished. In the
meantime there have been men in our
midst who have been illegally trs fic-
ing in whiskey and other intoxicants.
And as there has been no organiza-
ton in existence here to encourage
our officials in the prosecution of the
law our illegitimate saloon men have
become very bold and for awhile have
been allowed to do as they pleased.
AS result we have been harrassed
and tormented until forbearance on
our part has ceased to be virtue,
50 in answer to our call the American
Anti-Saloon League of the State of
Maryland has sent It's superintendent,
Rev. S. E. Nicholson, of Baltimore,
who was with us on Thursday night,
May Goth, and effected the organiza-
ton of local league in which quite a
number of our most respectable and
influential men and women are tax
ing an active part.
We wish to have it kindly, and yet
definitely, known that we are after
the ''speak easy' evil which has been
debauching our boys and running our
homes and bringing discredit and dis
honor to our community. On last
Monday night we had an enthusiastic
meeting and from present indications
we will soon haye a hundred eyes
wide open and watching in every
corner. And we hereby appeal to our

Oakland Normal School.

| There being no school on Friday
the pupils of the Oakland Normal
were entertained and instructed by
Attorney A. A. Doub, of the Cum
berland bar Prof. E. A. Browning,
in one of his flowery speeches, intro
/ duced him to the school.
Mr.. Doub, having once been teach
er, gave some excellent suggestions.
/ He insisted that he was not advising:
he was only suggesting. He spoke of
the Importance of being natural and
| sympathetic in the school room and
of allowing the children to be Just
what God intends they shall be, and
not spoiled and, perhaps ruined, for
life by STRIVING to mould the charac-
ter of each little one as you would
have it. He suggested that instead
of compelling their minds and char
acters to be moulded into a groove
that some one had cut, that they
should be directed ratherthan formed.
In the course of his talk he touched
upon the work of different educators,
and especially those to whom we are
indebted for our ideas of teaching the
little ones. He read portions of Ros-
seau's Emilio" and suggested that
each one own and read copy of it.
There was no inattention during the
time he took for his remarks and one
could infer from that, that he is an
interesting talker and that his words
were not lost. After he had finished
his talk the school rendered him a
vote of thanks, also extending an in
vitation to visit us again. We hope
to have that pleasure.

May Both, 1902.

The afternoon of June 9Th was a
time to be remembered by the pupils
of the Normal School of this place.
Our visitors of note were Rev. Thos.
j. Stanton, of Homecoming, Rev. J. NJ.
DAYS., Attorney T. J. Peddicord and
wife and Examiner Ed A. Browning,
of Oakland.
Mr.. Peddicord needed no introduce
ton to those who had so willingly
| listened to him some time ago, but
| performed that delightful Ito u.s. duty
of presenting Father Stanton as the
speaker of the afternoon. All were
in a measure prepared for good
things to be said'' by the previous
knowledge of Father Stanton's emf
nence among leading clergy and edu-
Gators of our State, and with the sat
isfaction of having good things to
share we welcomed several others
than the above named, to our after
moons entertainment and Instruction.
But who can anticipate the product
/ of mind.
The subject SELF Reliance had
been chosen by one our instructors
and was handled as only one with
depth of feeling, breadth of mind and
height of understanding could deal
with such topic.
Father Stanton's youth having
been spent here his talk was at first
reminiscent in character, and his ten
der allusion to a highly respected and
well known teacher babe US be care
full in our lives that good men in
years to come may say Many have
done virtuously but thou excellest
them ALL
Have you heard his beautiful COM
parsons, his scholarly illusions and
his eloquent expressions? If so you
can imagine the force and sweetness
of his words as he told US the requi-
sites of the ideal graduate of a normal
school. Three things mark perfec-
ton here: politeness, learning and
saintliness.
The Golden Rule was given for the
foundation of perfect politeness; study
was recommended as means of de-
light, ornament and ability; and a
strong Christian character declared
to be the very basis of success.
A good lesson in Christian Arith-
matte was given. The words first
and added in the text Seek We
first the kingdom of God and it's
righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you," being very
strongly emphasized.
The talk was a reflection of the man
and Father Stanton will be welcome
whenever he has time to give us a
visit or thought.
After he had closed his address,
Rev. ]. NJ. Davis was presented and
the only iobjection heard to his re-
marks was that they were too brief.
We know Mr.. Davis, and certainty
that he has more as good and helpful
as the few words he spoke, makes us
beg him to come back and finish his
speech.
Then Mr.. Peddicord gave a de-
lightful talk along the same subject
"Self Reliance" and the vote of thanks
and invitation to return was unani-
nous. Through the courtesy of Mr..
Peddicord the School has been in
vited to attend one session of court,
thus affording to the teachers an OPP
portunity which many would not
otherwise have.
With the teachers we have, the in
terest of the public, and with the
help of learned visitors we shall learn
to find Tongues in trees, books in
running brooks, sermons in stones,
