PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
The Farmer In Western Canada
 Achieves Wonderful Success

One of the first things that the man who wishes to change his resi- dence endeavors to find out is where he may go and succeed. It need be a matter of little doubt or indecisiOn now- During thep past four or five years the development of Western Canada has been so rapid, and the conditions of life there so widely known, that up- wards of 100000 Americans have taken up their homes there, and the experience of these people is that they are thoroughly satisfied with their choice of home.
 The methods of farming there are similar to those adopted in the United States, but the operations are sim pier, the yield of grain greater, and the profits more satisfactory. Ranch ing is carried on with lots of success. Mixed farming is always profitable, while the results in grain-raising are as certain as splendid soil, excellent climate and lots of sunlight can give.
 The yields of - but nothing is as satisfactory as the experience of the farmer himself, and extracts are selected from one.
 A good, intelligent farmer, named Mears, John Mears, to be exact-left Cavalier County, North Dakota. two years ago, and followed the thou sands who had already gone to Can ada. He had twenty-five years eX- perience in Minnesota. in buying 4n ,lJ l.; experience he never saw a district so well suited to the growth of flax as Western Canada. The financial results of Mir. Mears' operations in a single season are as follows: Wheat. 5000 bushels, hard at 57Hc, $l ,7S5.OO. 2,6S0 bushels, 1 Northern at 54c, ST.. 457.20; oats, 1,7o0 bushels, at 35c, $115.5O. Flax, 324 bushels, at $2, $62S. Total, $4,59S.20.-A return of more than $4,500 from a little over 250 acres, an average of SIS per acre is surely testimony sufficiently strong to satisfy the most incrcdulous as to the money to be made out of the soil of the Canadian West. 1t is to n ible and demonstrable in dollars and cents, that the steady northward movement of American farmers is due. Mir. Mears is settled near Ar cola, Assa.
 A number of Americans who have chosen Western Canada as a home had the idea that man enjoyed less freedom in Canada, but they soon found their mistake, and say the laws of Canada are the most liberal in the world, and such as prevent the liti- gation which breeds so much bad feeling between people in the United States and costs them so dear in lawyers fees.
 The Government has established Agencies at St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Ncb.; Kansas City, Mo-; Chicago. Ill.,; Indianapolis, Ind; Milwaukee, Wis; Wausau, Wis; Detroit. Sault Ste. Marie, and Marquette, Mich.; To- ledo, Ohio; Watectown. $. Dakota; Grand Forks, N. Dakota; and Great Falls, Montana; and the sugges- tion is made that by addressing any of these. who arc the author ized agents of the Government, it will be to the advantage of the reader, who will be given the full est and most authentic information regarding the results of mixed farm ing, dairying, ranchirg and grain raising, and also supply information as to freight and passenger rates, etc.

GIRL HAS ROMANTIC CAREER.
Marries Negro, Goes to Madhouse
Then Becomes a Belle.

Chillicothe, Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE story
of Miss Mary Gordon is one of the
most romantic that has ever come to
light and 1t is probable that no other
school girl in this country has had so
many vicissitudes as this talente
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Liston Cor
don, of Chillicothe, now at home after
two and half years of most eXt.aor-
binary experiences.
1t was only thirty months ago since
Mary was the wife of negro and was
flying over Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa
with him, trying to escape from her
father, and declaring that she would
never forsake her black husband: that
she loved him, and that she herself had
negro blood in her veins
Il is not thirty months since Mary
was arrested and declared insane and
sent to an asylum as the result OF her
strange infatuation for her negro hus-
band From the madhouse she went
to a st. Louis academy, and from there
she was graduated, to return to her
home in Chillicothe and become one of
the bellies of this northern Missouri
town.
Now she has forgotten her negro
husband and her mind is a complete
blank prior to the time she was pro-
nounced cured at the asylum.

Powers Are in Conference.

Rome. Aug. lit is stated here that
there has been an exchange of views
between the powers regarding the stu
alton in Macedonia. and that. appar-
emily, the powyo; IS have decided to sup
port Austria and Russia in efforts to
re-establish peace.
Reports previously received from
Italian consuIs in the Balkans predicted
the present revival of the insurrection
which the consuls considered to be al
most entirely the work OF Boris Sara
foff, the Macedonian agitator, who is
now in command of the insurgents, 1t
being pointed out that the attitude of
the Bulgarian government has been
correct since receiving Russia's admin
istration.
The plan of Sarafoff as understood
here is to bring about European inter-
vention by provoking the Turks to a
massacre. and the murder Of the Rus
sian consul at Monastir. M. Rostkov-
ski is considered here 10 have played
into the hands of the revolutionists in
this respect. NJ. Rostkcvski Is repre-
scented here as having been an arrogant
official who. upon occasions. boxed the
ears of soldiers and police whose con-
duct displeased him.

GENERAL CROP SUMMARY.
Conditions in the Various Agricultural
Cfa$oS

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE weather
bureaus weekly summary of the crop
conditions is as follows: The northern
districts east of the Rocky Mountains
have experienced a temperature too low
for rapid growth and maturity of crops.
but elsewhere the temperature has been
very favorable. Rains have been gem
eral and we'll distributed as a whole.
Portions OF the upper Ohio and lower
Missouri valleys still need rain. The
whole west and gulf coast districts and
southeast Minnesota have suffered from
excessive moisture. Corn is making
favorable progress in the central and
western portions of the corn belt, but
in the upper Ohio valley and middle
Atlantic states the outlook is less prom
Using. While the Improvement has been
generally decided in the states of Mis-
souri, and upper Mississippi valleys, in
the more northerly portions of these
states the crop is in need of warmth.
Rains have checked somewhat the
progress of the spring wheat harvest
which, however, is now general In
North Dakota the recent weather has
been favorable for development of late
grain. While in southern Minnesota,
rust fly and chinch bugs seriously af-
feet the crop.
The oat harvest is nearly finished,
except in New York. Reports generally
Indicate the yields are disappointing.
In Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky,

outlook for apples ranges from fair to

Several days ago he said, some of
US We're in Mr.. Hills Office in Albany
discussing the policy of the democratic
party. We noticed that Mr.. Hills mail
was large. When we mentioned it Mr..
Hill said democrats thruout the country
were writing to him about the platform
to be adopted at the next presidential
campaign. Some wanted to know what
his ideas were. while others wanted him
to prepare a platform in advance.
Mr.. Hill minated that he would
have something to say about the plat

Secretary of the Treasury Not
Worried by Wall Street
Situation
RELIEF MEASURE UNNECESSARY
While Admitting the Conditions Have
an Unfortunate Effect on Business,
Tending to Destroy Confidence, Yet
it is Held Money Market is in Bet.
ter Shape Than Usual.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE disquiet-
does not, in the opinion of Secretary
Shaw, present conditions which justify
the government in attempting any
measures of relief. Altho it is admitted
at the treasury department that the Sit
uation in the financial district in New
York has an unfortunate effect on bust
ness conditions turnout the country,
tending in some degree to destroy
confidence and to cause timidity on the
part of investors in industrial and other
enterprises, yet it is held that the mon
ey market is in far better condition
officials here maintain that there is no
occasion for any effort on the part OF
the government TO swell the volume of
available currency.
Secretary Shaw has in his possession,
in convenient form, a statement show
ing the general money conditions year
ago and at the present time. This state
ment shows that the bank reserves in
New York, for instance. are about $10.-
10000 larger than they were last year
at this time.
On July l.. 1902, the bank reserves in
New York We're about $lO00O,000. On
the corresponding date this year these
reserves amounted to $19,000,000. Sep
TENDER 1, 1902, the reserves of the New
York banks aggregated s10,0O0,000 more
than the reserves at this date.
II is believed that the general money
market will be in better condition on
the first of next month than 1t was on
the corresponding date of last year. I'm
der the circumstances Secretary Shaw
has no idea of increasing the Federal
deposits in the national banks.
Atho he made no direct statement
on the subject, it is believed that he
will early in the fall increase the Fed
eral deposits by large amount. TN,is
is to be expected, as the crop-moving
season advances and the need of large
circulating medium becomes more Sc
verely felt.
A letter has been received at the
treasury department from the president
of one of the largest national banks in
situation is reviewed from the bankers
standpoint This banker says that the
country bankers are calling for COM
paratively few loans, and that in these
cases the loans are desired TO meet PEE
culiar and exceptional local conditions.
There is abundant evidence. he as
serts, that the country banks are Well
supplied with money. He sees abso-
lutely nothing of a disquieting nature
in the banking situation and there is
no more than the usual demand for cur
rency to meet the requirements of crop
movement. In short, the situation at
present is the usual situation of a nor
NAL August in prosperous times.
The treasury department is making
the usual preparations for supplying
currency in small denominations for
crop moving. These preparations were
begun months ago. and the situation
is now we'll in hand by the United
States treasurer's office.

HAY CROP WILL BE GOOD

Des Moines. Aug. 1.-THE regular

The temperature of the past Week
was nearly normal but the nights
were unseasonably cool. The rainfall

Cured in the north central and north

In the larger part of the state con-
litions were favorable for field work
four to five days during the week.
Fair progress has been made in thresh-
ing and stacking small grain. Re-
ports as to yield of wheat and oats
are generally unsatisfactory, both as
to the weight and measure of the OUT
put. The condition of the grain, how
ever, is very much better than the
average of last year.
The corn crop has made as much

conditions, the soil being generally wet
and cold and the temperature of the
air unseasonably intermittent Some
portion of the early planted corn on
dry and warm land has reached the
roasting ear stage, while the bulk of
the crop is struggling in the rear, and
much of it unpromising. There is great
need of a long period of warm, dry,
ripening weather to make a good yield
even of the most advanced portion of
the crop. The hay crop bids fair to
break recent records as to bulk AMI
quality. The pastures are fine, and the
meadows are bearing heavy burden
of aftermath. The minor field crops
and apples are doing fairly well.
