Strive, the undersigned settlers
In Saskatchewan, Township 43, Range
6, beg to submit the following letter.
We came from Springfield, Bonhomme
County, s. Dakota. in the spring of
1899, and settled where we now reside.
We had considerable crop last year
we put in on new breaking, and it was
very good, and this year, 1900, our
crop is excellent. Our wheat will
yield about twenty bushels to the acre,
the oats and barley are also very good,
and our potatoes and root crop all
that could be desired. We consider
this fine country and are glad we
came, as our prospects could not be
better. A poor man will get start
in this country much quicker than in
Dakota.
We are, yours respectfully, John H.
Schultz. H. A. Goshen, S. Gors, B. H.
Dirks, G. D. Unry, P. Unry, and A.

Enrland's princess Royal"

Increasing surprise is felt in Eng.
land that the duchess of Fife is never
officially described as princess royal"
1t is only since the accession of
George IL. that such designation has
existed, but that monarch's eldest
daughter Though she was born when
her father was only electoral prince
of Hanover) enjoyed it, and so did the
eldest daughter of George III, and tie
oldest daughter of Queen Victoria.
While the late Empress Frederick was
living there might have been good
grounds for withholding the title
from the eldest daughter of King
Edward, for there has never been two
princesses royal alive at the same
time But that difficulty is now re-
moved and why the distinction should
be allowed to drop is question
causing much conjecture.

LAST HERD OF BISON.
ALL THAT IS LEFT OF THE ONE.
+ TIME MILLIONS.
frederick Dupree, . French Trapper.
Foreseeing the determination Of the
Buffalo, Gathered the Nucleus of This
Collection Of Much Value.

The only herd of bison of any i'm
portanco now left in the United States
from the millions which a few years
ago roamed over the entire country
between the Missouri river and the
Rocky mountains, consists of about
fifty full-blooded buffalo, and the same
number of mixed bloods, all now the
property of James Philip of Fort
Pierre, who is known all over the range
country as ''Scotty" Philip.
This herd is the product of hun.
twenty years ago, when Frederick Du-
pree, an old French trapper, foreseeing
the early determination of the species,
started for the Little Missouri country
to capture a few calves for the purpose
Of raising herd. In this hunt he led
a band of Indians and halfbreeds, who
only accomplished the purpose for
which they set out after a long and
dangerous search among the few small
punches of buffalo yet known to be
roaming in that country. Only half a
dozen calves were taken alive, and
rom these the present herd has grown.
range practically wild on the Cheyenne
river, with no further attention than
to see that they did not get out of that
part of the state, where they wera
kept until his death. In the settlement
of the estate none Of the numerous
heirs cared to take them as his share
Of the estate, and they were sold to
"Scotty" Philip, after an Intellectual at
tempt to dispose of them to the general
government.
Just what the value of the herd is is
problematical, but as it is the only
herd left in the country on which to
draw for specimens, this will give it
an increasing value as years go by.
Having had practically the sam.
freedom as in their native state, the
specimens of the herd are somewhat
different from those usually seen in
parks and menageries. One bull out
OF this herd was sold for show pur-
poses about ten years ago for $1,000.

we could distinguish nothing moving.

CLAIMS TO RESTORE LIFE.
Scientist Has a Powder That Brings
Dead Animals to Life.

DR.. c. W. Littlefeld of Alexandria,
who for fifteen years has been pursu-
ing his investigations of the vital
principles of life, experimenting with
cats, dogs, monkeys and other lower
animals, has at last made known the
result of his work. He makes the as
sertion that he can restore life. He
asserts that the principle of life, in
substance, is volatile magnetism.
In demonstrating his theory, the
doctor employs a solution of saline
origin, with salt as the basis, saturat-
ed with oleo resin and exposed for
several hours to an atmosphere of
free ammonia. Having secured this
saline solution, DR.. Littlefeld reduces
it to powder. 1t is this powder that
he has employed throughout his long
course of experiments.
For instance, having put to death
a dog or cat by drowning and allowed
the corpse to remain long enough to
convince anyone following his inves-
legations that all life is extinct, Dr.
Littlefield takes the corpse and with
out preparation of any kind, places
it upon a heated stone or porcelain
plate, brought to a temperature cor
responding to that of the normal body,
and covers it thoroughly with light
layer of the powder.
Within three or four minutes from
the time the powder has been coated
over the dead body signs of life man
ifest themselves, and within fifteen
minutes after the resuscitating meth
DDS were begun in every instance, the
subject has returned to normal life.
A cat remained dead two hours, and
during this time was allowed to re-
main in the hot sun until rigor mortis
had set in. The corpse was then
placed upon the heated porcelain and
powder applied, and the animal re-
turned to consciousness within five
minutes.
The magnetic influence can easily
be seen by placing drop of the liquid
with minute particles of solid sub
stance in it under a microscope. The
particles can be seen flying back and
forth with indescribable energy and
life

Value of Antique Furniture.

In 1868 a piece of antique furniture
was sold by a gardener of Geneva,
Switzerland, to an antiquarian for un-
der ell, with the reservation that if
lit was resold for a higher price the
original owner should receive a por-
tion of the same. 1t was recently sold'
to the Swiss Historical Museum for

original owner are claiming a share of
the above sum. The furniture is a

Best Sanitary Conditions Are to Be

The health of European armies has
been engaging the attention of Prof.
Kende of Budapest, and the results of
his investigation are now given to the
world reports a writer in the New
York Sun. OF all the armies, the pro-
fessor is inclined to put the German
first, though the general sanitary con-
ditions of the French appear to be al
most as satisfactory. The Frenchman,
however, is of feeble constitution.
Austria, it is said, suffers from the raw
ages of disease, and the sanitary con-
idition of the Italian army is most
strongly condemned. Out of a thou

Italy loses nine, Austria six, France
five, and Germany only four. The
system of Germany is certainly good

it is employed on stock naturally

this is, most other ailments begin with a

do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house Use it
