Iiesos o. College Girls.
Jefferson City. Mo-: Senator Walk
ers Irritation bill" was killed in the
Senate. The three oldest men in the
Senate, Walker, Biggs and Clarke.
voted for it, while tie remainder voted
against It. The president OF the fe-
male college at Lexington had asked
Senator Walker to introduce the bill,
and Senator Biggs said he had letters
from almost every female college in
the State asking that it be passed.
Senator Walker said that the condi-
tions at Lexington we're represented
as being almost intolerable, as the girl
students could not go on the street
without being subjected to ungentle-
manly and indecent conduct on the
part of the boys, and some of the
older residents, and for this reason
the president of the institution had
appealed for relief through legisla.
ton. Senator Mckinley asked If the
girls had asked for protection, saying
that when he attended school the boys
always protected the girls when nee
essary. Senator Young also took the
part of the girls, saying that this bill,
II enacted, would deny the girls of
the few little privileges they so much
enjoyed.

THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS FOR
WESTERN CANADA.

There will be thousands of Amer
leans coming up here in the spring"
was the reV1ark made by a farmer
from the vicinity of Langdon, North
Dakota, when he arrived in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, the capital of Western Can
ada, few days since. He was the adj
vance guard Of large body who are
following him, and he has already in
vested in several farming sections for
himself and others and purposes to
take up his permanent abode in this
country. He went on to say: Hun
dreds are coming from my district
alone. know this to be q fact for
many of them are neighbors Of mine
The chief topic OF conversation with
tho farmers is the coming immlgra-
ton in the spring.
THE impression general In the part
of Dakota where ! live that farmers
can get from 10 to Is cents more 4
bushel for wheat on the American
side Of the line than on the Canadian
has not prevented people from turning
their eyes to Canada as q place to
live in. They know they can get land
in this country which is every bit as
fertile as that in Dakota at about one
quarter the price. It Is safe to say that
the exodus from Dakota into Canada
this year will exceed the expectations
OF all Canadians"
