According to the verdict of New
York society Miss Kathleen Nelson
and Reginald Vanderbilt are engaged
to be married. Society has settled
the matter to suit itself with no more
authority that it had last summer
when Miss Nelson and Mr.. Vanderbilt
were seen together frequently at
MlddletOWn or Portsmouth. Some
people go so far as to say that
the marriage will be celebrated in
September and this statement is
backed up by the fact that Mr.. Van
derbilt has recently purchased, in the
outskirts of Newport, an extensive
farm. The old house on this place is
now in the hands of builders and is
being extensively altered. This, So
ciety says, will be the home of Mr..
Vanderbilt and his bride. 1t is now
considered to be certain that Miss
Nelson and Mr.. Vanderbilt are en-
gagged, but for reasons best known to
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Mrs
Frederick Nelson, their mothers, the
formal announcement is being with
held.

Woodland, Wis, Aug. 5.-Miss Ada
Ultman was mysteriously shot while
on her way home from Rubicon Satur-
day, the bullet lodging near the right
ear. She was walking along the road
alone when suddenly she felt some
thing strike her which caused her to
sink to the ground. She remained un-
conscious for long time but finally at
tracted the attention of a passer-by
who hastily summoned medical aid.
The bullet has not been removed and
the result may be fatal No cause for
the act is known nor can it be learned

DR.. A. A. Ames, who has Just re-
signed as mayor Of Minneapolis after a
shocking police scandal, has been be-
fore the Minnesota public for thirty
seven years. Starting as candidate
for the legislature In 1886 on a boilers
ticket, he has run the gamut of about
every known political party. Here is
his record in brief: Member of the
legislature from the fifth district; al
derman of the old ninth ward; four
times mayor of Minneapolis; eight
times candidate for mayor; twice can
didate for governor of the state; once
candidate for congress. He was elect
ed to the legislature on so-called
union or soldiers ticket, being COM
posed of men who were dissatisfied
over the lack of recognition given the
soldier vote by the republican party
He then gravitated back into the re-
publican party and was elected alder
man in 1875 on that ticket. One year
from that time he was the republican
candidate for mayor against G.. M.
LOring. The caucusses went against
thrown down and that he should run
as an Independent candidate. The
manipulatOrs in the democratic PARTY
picked him up as likely person for
their uses the democratic convention
Endorsed his candidacy and he won the
election. The mayoralty term was then
one year. He was candidate for re-
election, but was defeated. In 1882 he
was elected mayor again on the demo-
cratic ticket. Two years later, again
the candidate of that party, he was de-
feated by George A. Pillsbury. At the
next election he turned the tables on
Mr.. Pillsbury. In the fall of 1886, then
mayor for the third time, DR.. Ames
was nominated for governor by the
democrats. He lost. To this day he
declares that he was elected, but was
counted out. He came to the surface
feehly in 1896, when he sought the
populist nomination for governor Two
years later, as an Independent candi-
date for mayor, he got more than 5000
votes. Then followed his election in
1900. now ensues his disgrace.

Property values are steadily
rising, both farm and town prop
erty. And yet, this is not SO
much Of an increase as it is a re-
turn to normal values. Farm
property sold near town in the
eighties as high as 80 per acre.
Then came'the usual disasters OF
all exclusive wheat country, fol
lowed by the financial panic, all
of which caused values to go 20
the lowest ebb. They are now
simply returning to normal
condition.
This can be better illustrated
perhaps in values of town pro-
perty. Take two lots that sold
at 800 in the eighties. put
thereon q dwelling that actually
cost 81 900, making an invest
ment of 81 200, and was worth
$1,000 to any one who could use
it. But after failures and panics,
and empty houses to give away
in St. Lawrence, this $1,000
house could he bought for $500
to $500. 1t is not strange that
under changed conditions this
property returns to It's normal
value. The country is prosper
Gus, the town is growing, houses
are in demand, the empty st.
Lawrence houses are gone; to re-
build new a house as described
above would now cost from 81, :
200 to S1500-and from now on
the value OF a house must be
whatever the cost would be to
replace it.

PRICES WILL BE ADJUSTED.

The point made several times
by the Press, that prices of land

come to a relative value with
lands east of us, is thus express
ed in the Sioux City Tribune by
D. c. Shull ofSioux City: There
is too great difference in the
prices of the cheaper lands in
South Dakota, when compared
with Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska
land, for the difference to con
tinue long" said D. c. Shull,
who has shown in his invest
ments his faith in the gospel he
spoke. "All the land east of the
Missouri river is intrinsically
worth $40 an acre. THERE'S not
enough difference in the latitude
and climate for there to be areal
difference in the value of land as
is shown in prices-$60for Wood

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-01-30


 The Isthmian canal while by no means partisan question, is capable of causing trouble that may develop along partisan lines. Senator Morgan, who is as firmly committed to the Nicaraguan route as ever, called at the White House recently and came away seriously dissatisfied with the result of his interview with the president. He is also much disturbed at Senator Hanna's apparent disaffection in favor of the Darien route. This route would require the construction of a tunnel five miles long, through solid granite mountain, and the senator from Ala bama considers it lacking in feasibility and its agitation merely an attempt to delay canal legislation.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-01-30

The ways and means committee is still giving hearings to the representa- tives of the beet sugar and tobacco in- dustries in this country and in Cuba. The beet sugar lobby is growing des- perate and is contemplating coalition of forces With the democrats in an ef- fort to reduce the protection on refined sugar. The beet, sugar men are, of course, inspired by animosity to the sugar trust, but they frankly admit that they would be in a better posi- tion to develop their industry if the trust were destroyed even if reciprocal privileges were granted to Cuba The democrats are naturally and consist enriy opposed to a duty which puts immense profits into the hands of the trust at the expense of the vast body of consumers. Representative Mccall, republican member from Massachu- setts,- tells us that he will vote for reciprocity as be does not consider that a moderate concession would injure American interests, and he believes the United States owes It to Cuba to at least start her on the road to pros- perity.

SUGGESTION FOR FARMERS.

He was the son of q rich and fond father. Already sthe old man" had set him up in three or four different ventures, but in every case the young man had sold out at loss after not more than few months experience.
 Finally he came home after short session as a dry goods merchant in Kansas and announced that what he really wanted to do was farm it." He had tried nearly everything else, and there was something about the free and independent life of the farmer that appealed to him. He was willing to settle down for good if his father would supply farm.
 The fond father bought 16O fertile acres two miles from town, laid out several hundred dollars in the pur- chase of live stock and machinery, had the old farmhouse rebuilt, and start ed his son as the master of the ranch under the most favorable circum- stances.
 But after the first week or two the young mans ambition to wiring a liv- ing from the soil sadly failed. He let the land and the cattle look after themselves and spent most of his time sitting around the drug store and the cigar store in town.
 Threa or four months went by in this way, and if 1t had not been for the care of the watchful hired man there would have been little left of the farm. Sometimes for five or six days the young farmer remained in town. and his long absences from the scene of his agricultural experi- ment became matter of common gos- sip.
 One day his fond father happened into the town cigar store and was met by the smiling proprietor
