MISSIONARIES BLAMED FOR


 Mrs. H. 1T. Ford of the China Inland Mission, Tai-Kang, writes:
 q told you in my last letter about the country blaming us for keeping tht rain off. 11nty were boiling little paste figures (of us) inagreat pit on fire in the street, old women saying over it.: Flour from seven homes and water
 from eight
 Firewood from nine homes, boil the
 foreign deyiss!
 Press them down, and 10000 will die; 2 Turn them over, and 1000 will die.
 Throw them up and all will die. "(rne words rhyme in Chinese ,and sound very fine.) It is cheerful for us, isn't it But now the rain has come expect there will be a respite. Indeed, I heard yesterday that we were to be killed in three years.-London Daily NeWs.

tyrs of monotheism. The Jew has suf- fered and suffers still simply for the reason that he will persist in proclaim ing one spiritual God.
 And if the institution Of periodical feasts and the celebration of changing seasons have more than ceremonial significance for mankind, it is the Jew ish New Year that contains the deep est moral and highest historical eoneep- tion. Exposed to persecution and intoI- eranee, still the Jew of to-day awaits that with the progress of time and true civilization his situation will also improve. For every sunrse a dash that brings the world nearer to the pinnacle of race equality and fraternity, and it will lead to the betterment of Is- raers affairs. Every New Year is of double importance to us because of the two-fold expecta tions We are longing for, namely, the achievement of perfec- tion for each individual and for the i'm provement of the world at large.
 May it be the will of the Almighty to pour out His spirit upon the nation so that all will recognize the sublimity of our religion. Let the whole world join us in the celebration of our New, Year, which expresses and embodies that He is the Creator of all; that He is all in all.
 May this New Year be one that our prophets have predicted, that there will be one language. one mind and one thought.
 We will continue to celebrate our New Year, the beautiful, instructive and enlightening feast of creation until the conception of this idea will become uniyersionalized and all mankind will adopt the Creator as his ruler. The sages of the Talmud say that the Mes siah will appear on New Year. This means that complete help and salva- tion, equality and true culture will be acquired by all classes. It is our pray CT and hope that the Almighty will pre- serve the exceptional good treatment our co-religionists receive in this coun- try under the starry banner. Columbia is the heavenly daughter under whose protection some of our unfortunates find an abode and refuge. It stands as a mediator between God and man, and is appointed to guard the economical affairs between man and man. Our rel public has outstretched it's helping hand many times 10 shake off the yollS ! of oppression of the absolute and cruel lsoyereigns.
 We. therefore, pray our Maker to es- tablish peace on the entire globe, and above all may harmony be the watch word of this country, which shines as an example of tolerance for all other countries.
 May the Lord look graciously upon us and bless our coming and passing year. Amer.

 The letter written by Mayor Charles F. Thayer, of Norwich, to Judge A. Heaton Robertson, Of this city, pledg- ing his support to Judge Robertson in the campaign for governor was made public yesterday. It is as follows:
 Executive Department, City of Nor Wich, Connecticut.
 Mayors Office September 8, 1904. Hon. A. Heaton Robertson, New Ha-
 ven, Conn.
 Dear Sir-Please accept my congrat- ulations.
 I am informed that MT. Tanning, who presented my name to the eonven- ton and moved to make your nomina- ton unanimous, pledged me to support the nominee, should his candidate fail to be the choice of the convention. I now formally honor that pledge and shall fulfill the obligations implied.
 Fresh from the conflict and some what battered by the fray, can more fully than yourself, perhaps, appreci- i ate the editorial entitled ITO Connecti- cut Democrats, which appeared in the Hartford Daily Times on the opening day of the convention, September the sixth. I beg you to read and preserve it. and when you shall have been in augurated governor next January, l trust that you will, as I should with like opportunity, give all the influence of the office to bring about by legisla- tion an entire change in the manner oi | choosing candidates. -s' l @ Yours faithfully, .....J gs CHARLES F.

THE PoPEs ILLITERATn SISTERS.

THE PoPE,S ILLITERATE SISTERS.
 The three sisters of the Pope have shown themselves in Rome particularly open to foreign visitors the quaint Italian and different way of looking at things of the latter causing the good ladies infinite amusement Among these acquaintances were two ladies, who went to them about twice week. One vase an autograph fiend, and one day appeared with a gorgeous book and requested as a great, favor that the three sisters should inscribe their names. There was an awkward pause, the signorine Sarto flushed and looked embarrassed, and then the eldest, with simple dignity, said: We none of us know how to read, and added. with note of bitterness in her voice, thought all the world knew that!' The autograph hunter found nothing to say, seeing which the Signorina Rosa. with great tact, said: Dear signorina, am sorry for your disappointment but I will try to procure for you some thing much more precious, the auto graph of my brother the Pope. nT-Pall Mall Gazette

Wahpeton, but his financial condi-

PEELED to work his way through.

thus:- -'He came to Wahpeton with

posted in q bank, and it remains
there. After the close Of school next

The great absorbing industry, the

Big IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Engineer Robbins Reports FavorabIy
on a Half Million Acre Tract
on the Mouse River.

North Dakota with probably see
irrigation work done within it's
borders in the near future by the
federal survey, who has been in the
state for some time investigating
possibilities of irrigation has made
and reported the preliminary sur
vey of tract approximating half
million acres of land along the
Mouse river, which can be irrigated
at moderate expense by conserv-
ing the waters Of the Mouse river
by means of dams and turning them
upon the land. The project is be-
lieved by Mr.. Robbins to be entirely
feasible, and a draft Of the prelim-
mary survey and other data have
been sent by Mr.. Robbins to the
chief of the reclamation service.
This project, if carried out, will re-
claim 100000 to 100000 acres of
land and will be of immense i'm
portance to the state.
In consequence of the report of
Mr.. Robbins, the Secretary of the
Interior has withdrawn from entry
$50, 900 acres of land in the Devils
Lake and Minot land districts in
North Dakota on account of the
Mouse River irrigation project.
The lands in the following town.

him a better and a bigger man, be-
cause it emphasizes to him his
responsibilities and privileges.
That nation is the most prosper
GUS and the best defended, in both
peace and war, which has the larg-
est number of homes.
There has never been time in
the history of this country when
there was a wider interest mani
tested by the ordinary man in the
all absorbing question of home
seeking. There has never been a
time when it was easier for man
to find good suitable location for
the investment of his money in
farm lands. The progress of civ
ilization has done away with many
Of the pioneer hardships even in
the more remote and less thickly
settled sections of the country and
at the same time the opportunity
to buy land at a figure which
1NsUREs ITS FUTURE INCREASE
in value is greater now than it has
been for some years.
With the ever increasing popu-
lation, with the steady immigra-
tion from foreign shores, and with
the growing desire on the part of
city workers to own country homes
the tide of home seekers has grown
to tremendous proportions. This
means that the next few years will
see the best of the lands now open
for settlement settled upon perma-
nently and the best opportunities
will have disappeared.
For the past half-dozen years the
trend of immigration has been tow
ard the great Northwest. This is
particularly true at the present
time. Land in this great and fer
tile section is increasing in value
every day. Red River valley lands
that for years sold at So an acre, are
worth $35 an acre.
Lands in Minnesota have in.
creased at a'wonderful rate in the
last dozen years. This is true OF
all the best western lands. Land
which cannot be bought at any
price today was once cheap, and
the man wise enough to look ahead
bought it, and realized immense
profits on his investment. The ex.
perience of nine out of every ten
land buyers in this Western coun.
try points unerringly, to the con.
clusion that there is no investment
so safe and so sane as Investment
in good land.
PBRMANENcE OF THE MOVEMENT.
In answer to the question, "Is
the present farm movement into
the Northwest Of permanent char.
acter and likely to continue" James
j, Hill said:-
Certainly it is permanent, and
it il bound to continue. just look
! at the facts.
The population Of the United
States is increasing at the rate oi
1000 daily. Weare growing at the
rate Of ], 10000 a year. We have
doubled in over thirty or forty years

NE DRANK cARBoLlc ACID
FOiIed in Third attempt
to Leave Home, Joe
Robertson, Aged ~
Takes His Life.

Apparently for no reason beyond the
TACT that he had been iolled in his third
attempt TO run away from home, Joe
Robertson, the ils-year-old son OF Mr..
and Mrs. }. j. Robertson. who reside on
the bench about siN miles from the city,
drank the contents oi bottle OF carbolic
acid about 10 a. m. Sunday, dying
from the effects within half hour. That
he drank it with suicidal intent is ap-
parent to those familiar with the facts
and was the verdict Of the coroner's jury
empaneled Sunday afternoon by Cor
oner Lee
The lad seems TO have been quite bit
ter against his father and it is said that
he told a neighbor boy several months
ago that he intended to "kill the Ole
man" and then commit suicide. Thii
boy, Raymond IIavird, testified beior'
the coroner.s jury ar to young Robert
sons threats regarding self destruction
but not to the other portion OF his al
legged statement.
Both Robertson, sr., and his wife, steI
. mother OF the boy, deny that the la
/ had been treated with harshness or tina
1 he had been abused in any manne
l Their statement was corroborated t
I that of friends and neighhors who hay
1 had opportunity to observe the trea
I ment accorded the boy.
