THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
FOR WESTERN CANADA.

"There will be thousands of Amer.
leans coming up here in the Spring.
was the remark made by farmer
from the vicinity of Langdon, North
Dakota, when he arrived in Winni-
peg, Manitoba, the capital of West
ern Canada, a few days since. He
was the advance guard of large
body who are following him, and he
has already invested in several farm
ing sections for himself and others
and purposes to take up his perma-
nent abode in this country. He went
on to say: Hundreds are coming
from my district alone. 1 know this
to be a fact, for many of them are
neighbors of mine. The chief topic
of conversation with the farmers is
the coming immigration in the
spring."
"The impression general in the
part of Dakota where l live that
farmers can get from 10 to Is cents
more a bushel for wheat on the
American side of the line than on
the Canadian, has not prevented peo-
pie from turning their eyes to Can
ada as 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. 1t is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations OF
all Canadians"

That stormed walled Jericho.
But now silence falls, and We awaken
Dim Is our dawn and late!

In old age the mucous membranes

This leads to partial loss of hearing,

New Cure for Lame Back.

Rutledge, MINI, Feb. l6th.-Mr. E. C..
Getchell Of this place relates happy ex-
perience which will be read with interest
BY all those who have similar trouble.
It appears that last winter Mr.. Getchell
was seized with lameness and soreness
in his back which grew worse and worse
till at last it became very bad and made
it very difficult for him to get about at
all.
After time he heard of new remedy
for backache which some of his friends
and .neighbors- said had cured them and
he determined to try it. The name of
the remedy is Dodd's Kidney Pills and
Mr.. Getchell has proven that it is sure
cure. He says:
"I used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills according to directions and my lame
back was entirely cured and I am ali o. X.
again. Dodd,s. Kidney Pills are as good
as represented"
This remedy is very popular here and
has worked some remarkable cures CT

An amusing story is told of the editor of
a go-ahead London evening newspaper, who,
in the eternal rushing to press to get

pressing upon his reporters the necessity

A terrific boiler explosion had taken
place on board big ship lying at Ports

he said to one of his men. IF you catch

vALUABLE CLAY BEDS.
Samples from a Glasco Bank Test
First-Class.

Glasco. July 16.--About three miles
from Glasco there is a bed of clay,
which if ever developed bids fair to RI
val. if not surpass any clay beds
yet discovered in Kansas. This clay is
on the farm of James NJ. Gray. Sam
pies of this clay was sent to Coffey-
vile about two years ago for test. And
now after so long a lapse they have
sent after more samples. 1t is claimed
for the Glasco clay that it is not onls
brick clay but a first-class fire clay as
we'll and that while other beds of clay
partially vitrify. this clay vitrifies all
the way through it. Nor does this Glas~
co clay have to be mixed with shale
as is usually the case with other beds
1t is said that in some report of an old
government survey through this sec
ton, mention is made of this clay bed.
Mr.. Gray claims that the clay crops
out from the surface. and that so far as
he knows is from so to IS feet in depth.
He has some samples of it burned, ana
it rings like iron. The Coffeyville peo-
pie are evidently much interested in
the Glasco clay beds, and have so in
formed their correspondent here.
