SORRY ABOUT THE EGGS
[Clarion Democratic

ant caller Saturday. John says III re-
gard to the egging of the Ames
preacher, which event has given Gold
field considerable notoriety of late, that
IL anything of that kind was done, 1t
was the work OF boys, and not the bet
ter element OF the people. He thought
the sentiment Of the town was with one
of their excellent ladies who said she
thought it wrong and great pity to
waste good eggs worth fourteen cents
a dozen in such manner. 1t might be
well for the preacher to consider also,
that eggs are never thrown at pull
pit. and that ministers who mix in
dirty politics can hardly hope to pre-
serve their dignity and good clothes
unimpaired.

FEAR FOR CANADIAN sETTLERs.

Inere is grave 1ear IN CANADA over
the mighty thrush of Immigration now
1 flowing into it's northwest territories
1t is estimated that thu, total number
of immigrants to arrive in the Canadian
| northwest before November next will
exceed 100000 persons. The authors
| ties are under considerable apprehen-
| sion lest the resources of the transpor-
| tation lines may be overtaxeG and fai
| to supply the enormous amounts OF
| lumber and fuel needed to build the
houses and light the hearths of thou
sands of homes necessary to shelter
such multitude. The country is raw
prairie. Its lumber and fuel must be
hauled by the railroads and block
ade of the transportation facilities, al
ready crowded to their capacity, Is
likely to cause much suffering espec-
tally among those settlers whose means
are limited and have been practically
exhausted by the expenses incident to
their change OF base.
There Is certain to be suffering and
hardship this winter in the Canadian
settlements and for winters to come.
Hardship and poverty are the certain
ties of pioneer life, part of the maxi
ing of new country. There are. how
ever, no more hardships or suffering to
be dreaded in Canada than in the open
ing up Of most new countries. II lum-
Der fails the prairie sod will still fur

as it did for those of Nebraska and
Iowa. If coal is not obtainable there

combustion of prairie haJ and still more
In twisting 1t into condition to burn,
IL the tales of the Dakota pioneers are
to be. credited.
The streams swarm with fish, the
prairies are alive with game and
there are cattle on a thousand hills.
The Canadian settlers naed have little
fear of starvation or frost ii they are
willing to return to first principles and
hustle.
There are thousands of poorer set
tiers on the way to Canada who will
move back as soon as they may be
able to induce their relatives to supply
the means. There are always the camp
followers and faint hearted who fail
when the pinch comes. There are
other thousands who will stay to in
herit the land, found the first families
OF their communities ard die well to do
and respected. The man who expects
to coax fortune from the chilly soil of
a new country must possess pluck and
resource and be willing TO wait to win.
These qualities will succeed in Canada
or anywhere else.
It is a far cry from the old pioneer to

RE schooner to the varnished cars. We

AN OLD TIME DEED.
TDayennort DemOcrat.1

There was fled with Recorder Carroll
Monday a deed executed by Christian
w. Kisternlacher, to John Reese, con-
yeying forty acres OF farm land located
in Blue Grass township, for the consid-
Grafton OF $50. This would be a con-
sideration Of $50 per acre.
However, when it is told tina. the
deed bears the date of 1852, there will
be no wonder at its comparative dirt
cheapness. A United States govern
,ment patent bearing similar date and
signed by President Willard Fillmore,
conveying the same forty acres to
Christian w. Kistenmacher, was filed
for record on the previous Saturday.
Neither the patent nor the ancient war
ranty deed were recorded until within
the last few days, nearly ftfty-one
years after they were originally made.

CAMPBELL eRos. CIRCUS.

Audience.
1t is possible that Campbell Bros.
circus has showed to as large a crowd
as that which witnessed it's perform.
ance here yesterday afternoon, but it
is safe to say that it never entertained
a larger one Eevry one OF the seats
usually erected was occupied long
before the band sounded the tararum
that ushered the performers, human
and animal, into the rings and it
was found necessary to erect more,
and even then several hundred persons
were compelled to stand, there being
absolutely no place for them On the
tiers of seats that lined three sides
of the huge tent.
The circus itself proved to be all
that was claimed for it. While it is not
n of the biggest, it is one of the best
and cleanest, and it's collection of wild
animals is very good and all show
excellent care. The different eques-
trian acts ere cleverly performed,
albeit the horses used we're, perhaps,
a trifle too fat and lazy to give the
dash and excitement incident to
bareback riding and it's accompany
ing tricks. The troupe of Japanese
acrobats and contortionists pleased
the audience greatly. They performed
all the old, familiar feats and also in
troduced many new ones. The De.
pre- family did some very good aero
batic and gymnastic acts and earned
the applause that rewarded them.
The same may be said of the trio on
the flying trapeze and horizontal bars,
two of whom were exceptionally good
flights"
There were a half dozen clowns
and they tried their best to be funny
and amusing. To the old, gray heads
in the audience it was a disappoint-
ment that modern methods have dis.
placed the old. There were no jokes
and none OF the usual antics of the
bespangled and bedizened clown Of
long ago.
If anything in the way of criticism
is to be said in connection with the
performance it is applicable to the
men who sell lemonade and peanuts.
A few Lessons in politeness and eport-
ment might be given them with good
results and an introduction to the
lavatory and laundry would not be
amiss.
