ANOTHER MAN ALTOGETHER.

Valley, Mo-, Feb. 24th.-There is a
man in this town who has undergone
most remarkable physical change
In the last few months.
His name is Perry Nelson and those
who knew him but q short time ago
are amazed at his present condition.
He had not been feeling well for

he knew were not any too strong, he
determined to try a kidney medicine.
Dodd's Kidney Pills were highly
recommended and Mr.. Nelson began
treatment Of them. He was re-

Messrs. j. z. Blum and j. Grumper,
of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michi-
gan, paid visit to Alberta last sum-
mer and saw there a Mr.. Shantz, one Of
the good old Pennsylvania stock, who
had come recently-some seven years
ago-from Ontario, with $24 in his
pocket. He has certainly prospered
as he now owns over 20 head of cattle,
has o good log house framed over,
also q good barn and in all respects
looks thrifty and well-to-do farmer.
He had some good crops of oats and
barley. After spending some days in
Calgary and Edmonton they returned
to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked
around the country North to Lums-
den and Balgonie where the crops ap-
peared very promising and heavy, con-
tinuing up the Regina and Long Lake
Road they came to Saskatoon on the
crossing Of the South Saskatchewan
River. OF this district they say
1.-THE country here pleased US better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in northwesterly direc-
ton through the Smith settlement.
This is a wonderful district, the growth
was splendid, all kinds of grains and
roots were perfection. The older set
tiers had good buildings of all kinds
and looked very prosperous, in fact
we came to the conclusion that we had
found what we were looking for,
good country. While the nature of the
soil changes and is in some parts light,
in others stony, and again heavy, gen.
orally speaking it leaves nothing to be
desired. Hay and water are also in
abundance and wood can be found
along the river slopes and islands.
We have decided to locate there and
shall certainly advise our friends to
do likewise. We also trust that this
report may have the effect of draw
ing the attention Of land seekers to
this district, and can honestly advise
all such to locate there. They will find
. good thing. As farmers ourselves,
from q good district in Michigan, we

erly farmed Western Canada will grow

rest of the magnates will be here early

and Mr.. Bement, of Evansville, are the
principal promoters of the new organiza-
ton. Mr.. Smith said last night that rep
resentatives from South Bend, Grand Rap
ids, Dayton. Mansfield and probably other
towns who desire to get into the league
will be here.
The league will probably be composed of
eight cities-Evansville, Terre Haute, Mari
on, Fort Wayne. Dayton. Grand Rapids,
Mansfield and South Bend being the ones
most favorably spoken of. although
Youngstown and Wheeling are also being
considered. Youngstown Is a good ball
town and may be taken in preference to
South Bend. Wheeling desires to get into
the league. but it's. geographical location
Terre Haute and Evansville were men,
bers Of the Three-I League last season, and
the attendance i'm the two cities showed that
they should be members of a larger organ

will be compact and composed of good ball
towns Cities desiring admission must be
able to play Sunday ball.
The constitution and bylaws will be
adopted and the circuit perfected at the
meeting to-day. There has been some spec
ulation regarding who will be elected pres
ident. Mr.. Halderman and Mr.. Bement
have both been suggested as likely candi-
dates.

After they left these officials requested

the United States legation at Caracas will

subjects when called upon. until a normal
state of affairs is restored.
This is not likely to be the end of Minis

OF some of the communications he has made

State Department had already been fully

above zero. The severity of the cold was
intensified by the fact that the people were
not prepared for it, the cold wave having
descended upon the country suddenly and
without warning. Then, too. the scarcity
of coal caused much suffering among the
poorer classes, and those who could not
afford the luxury of a ton OF anthracite
coal had to use it sparingly. for the cold
snap might last, and they would not be able
to get fresh supply. Every effort is being
put forth to alleviate the suffering, charit-
able unions having taken steps to supply
the poor, and the board of aldermen having
voted 100000 TO help along the good cause.
In every coal office to-day there were num-
bers of anxious buyers, and at the same
time eager inquiries for coal were constant
ly coming by telephone. To all but few
the dealers were forced to turn deaf ear.
1--WE can't promise you more than one ton,
and we may not be able to deliver that for
a day or two was the stereotyped reply
to all demands for fuel.
The situation was admitted to be ex-
tremely bad, and, according to one dealer,
there appears to be no way of relieving it.
At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen
a resolution was unanimously adopted ask
ing the board of estimate and apportion-
ment to authorize an issue of reserve bonds
to the amount of 100000 for the purpose
of purchasing anthracite coal to be dis
tributed free, under the supervision of the
Department of Public Charities among the
needy poor of the city during the winter.
During the day the rivers were covered
with a heavy mist, showing the great diff
ference between the temperature of the air
and water.
The cold in the city was mild compared
with that prevailing in the northern sections
of the State and in New England At Al
