cRANDALL WAS NOT ARRESTED.
No Accusation in Connection With
Pattee Shooting,


3. Pattee Shooting.
Des Moines, Feb. LIT is learned
that Stephen Crandall, the man who
was supposed to have been connected
with the shooting of Harry Pattee at
Perry few weeks ago, is now at
large. No information has been filed
against him. Crandall was not ar
rested because the dogs had followed
trail to his house in the country the
next day after the shooting of Pattee.
But he was arrested for hog stealing
and sent to Jail for thirty days. 1t was
thought that by the time his thirty
; days were up information would de-
velop warranting an arrest for the
shooting of the bankers son. No
such information has been filed and
Crandall has been released from Jail
at Abel. 1t was also stated at the
time that Crandall was out on parole.
having been previously convicted Of
some crime, but this Is an error. He
was given full pardon and cannot
be sent back for the former crime.

WESTERN CANADA AR0USING
GREAT INTEREST.

The Wonderful Yields of Wheat ATTRACT"
ing Thousands.
Until the last FIVE or six years but
little attention was given to that vast
area OF grain-producing land lying
north Of the 49th parallel, and imme-
diately adjoining the northern boun'
daries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware Of the wealth that lay there,
but being unable to fully occupy 1t,
they have asked the Americans to
assist them in converting the land
from its virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain-pcoducing
a1ea of the North American continent
and the response has been most lib
eral.
During the year 1901 upwards of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada. being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was Increased to
10000 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The
work Of the immigration branch Of the
Canadian government is not now be-
ing directed towards giving infsrma-
ton as to the advantages Of settle
ment in Canada as it is to extending
an invitation to the Americans to fol-

duced to take advantage of the offer
of 160 acres of land free in Canada,
and have no cause to hesitate In con.
tinuing the invitation. Many of those
interested say there are no more free
homesteads to be had in Canada, but
the writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian government that
there are thousands of such home
steads to be had, and in one Of the dis.
tricts now being opened up fully as
good as the best. and it Is probably
the best.
The Canadian government has es.
tablished agencies at St. Paul, Mimi;
Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo-; Chi.

is made that by addressing any of
these, who are authorized agents of
the government, it will be to the ad'

given the fullest and most authentic
information regarding the results OF

One hundred guests were in the

In his article on Ralph Waldo Emer-

his estimate Of Emerson's work:
Concerning the quality and rank Of
his work there is general agreement
He has survived the reaction which
follows the death of a writer Of orig
inal and individual force. The defects
Of his prose, the limitations Of his
verse. are clear enough, but the depth
Of his insight, the lift of his thought,
the freshness Of his spirit the felicity
Of his speech and its penetration, the
Wilderness and symmetry Of his life
these are far beyond the region Of
questioning. He explained America to
herself in terms OF the spiritual life,
lie set man IN his true place IN the
new world, he has kept the conscience
Of the nation and established for all
time the doctrine that the success oi
failure Of the new society shall bs
measured by its service in the emanci
