New Cure for Lame Back.

Rutledge, Mimi. Feb. 16th.-Mr. e.
c. Getchell Of this place relates a
happy experience which will be read
with interest by all those who have a
similar trouble.
1t appears that last winter Mr.. Get
chell was seized with lameness and
soreness in his back which grew worse
and worse till at last II became very
bad and made 1t very difficult for him
TO get about at all.
After time he heard OF new rem
edy for backache which some of his
friends and neighbors said had cured
them, and he determined to try 1t. The
name of the remedy is Dodd's Kidney
Pills and Mr. Getchell has proven that
It is a sure cure. He says:
81 used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills according to directions, and my
lame back was entirely cured and am
all o. X again. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are as good as represent l."
This remedy is very popular here
and has worked some remarkable
cures of Backache and Kidney Trou
BILE.

Frank Andrews, Prison Life.

Thirty or more members OF the legisla'
ture visited Jackson prison Friday to
look over the situation as regards the
appropriations asked for improve
ments. They were shown round the
institution by Frank Andrews. the
former financier OF Detroit. lie Is
bookkeeper OF the big box factory,
and appears to have general super
visory control over the business OF
the institution. He was sent for from
one OF the offices OF the prison ana
came forward with the same quick,
nervous step that was once so tamil
lar on Griswold street He shook
hands all around and told how well he
felt, and Immediately began making
inquiries as to the affairs OF those IN
the party with whom he was acquaint'
ed. Andrews asked some Of the mem
bers OF the official party II they would
help him to get a parole. ana they
generally acquiesced, number OF
them being heard to express sym
pathy. The Detroit ex-banker had nc
complaint to make against his treat
ment In the prison. He had nothing
but words OF the warmest praise FOL
Warden Vincent. He urged the mem
bers of the legislature to vote for the
appropriation of $4,000 for a block
of new cells in the west wing, which
appears to bo so sadly needed.

WESTERN CANADA AROUS1NG
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-p producing
area 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
them of the success of those who had
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 informa-
ton as to the advantages Of settle
ment in Canada as 1t is to extending
an invitation to the Americans to fol-
low those who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
point with considerable pride to tho
success of those who have been In
duced to take advantage Of the offer
of 100 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 II is probably
the best.
The Canadian government has es
tablished agencies at st. Paul, Mimi;
