THROUGH HIS "ALFALFAS."
Speech Became Entangled and Lost
Its Way in the Foliage on
Speakers Face.

At the live stock show recently held
in Chicago Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson was one of the speakers at a
mass meeting of cattle men. Behind him
on the same platform, relates the New
York Herald, somewhat screened from
observation, sat Norman j. Colman, the
first man to hold the portfolio of agri-
culture.
Secretary Wilson made happy speech,
and because of his popularity with the
western ruralist he was the shining, cen
tral figure of the gathering. When he
had finished talking lusty lungs and sun
burned hands gave him noisy appreciation.
braska farmer, with whiskcrs like Senator
PETERS, arose in the back of the hall and
said:
Gentlemen, we are all mighty glad to
hear Secretary Wilson and are ready to
do him honor, but let us not forget the
other great men we have with us. We
have on the same platform tonight the
alfalfa and omega of agriculture
1t was as far as the speaker. ever got.
His few remaining words were lost in the
Bhrieks of laughter.

"My wife had been suffering from

"Her case had baffled the skill of some
of the most noted physicians. One of
her worst troubles was chronic consti-

''She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June, 1895,
l wrote to you about her case. You adj
vised u course of Peruna and Manalin,
which we at once commenced, and have
to say it completely cured her. She
firmly believes that she would have been
dead only for these wonderful remedies,

about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of 25 years standing. Attimes
was almost past going. 1 commenced

WESTERN CANADA HAS AN
EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
The Saskatchewan Valley Very High.
ly Favored.

An interesting feature of Western
Canada is its climate. Those who
have made study of it speak highly
of 1t. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
at the same time giving valuable in-
formation concerning railway rates,
etc, to those interested in the country.
AS has been said, the climate is excel
lent. The elevation of this part of
Canada is about 1900 feet above the
sea, about twice that of the average for
Minnesota. 1t Is n very desirable alti-
tude. The country has very equable
climate, taking the seasons through.
The winters are bright and the sum-
part, director of the meteorological
service for Canada, says:
''The salient features Of the climate
''of the Canadian northwest territories
"are a clear, bracing atmosphere dur
ling the greater part of the year, and
"a medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is 66, and Prince Albert 62. Tho
"former temperature is higher than at
'''any part Of England, and the latter
''is very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 76 and the mini
mum 4S. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the crops
come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about IS inches an
nually. 1t is notable that about rs per
cent of the moisture falls during the
crop months. Thus, Western Canada
gets as much moisture when it is need
ed and with several hours more sun
shine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March
Harvest comes in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, billiards, dust and
sand storms are unknown.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Mrs
A. l.. Smith, of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes
her. recommendation by the following ex-
perience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass off. In a month she would have
the spells again. At these times she
would eat very little and was very yellow,
even the whites of her eyes would be yell
low.
The doctors gave us no encouragement,
they all said they could not help her.
After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell. Of
course, we continued the treatment un,
til she had used in all about a dozen
boxes, and we still give them to her oc.
casionally, when she is not feeling well
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs
Smith, for by so doing they may save
their daughters much pain and sickness
and ensure a healthy happy future fol
them.

Several Shots Fired Into His Carriage
Between Thirty and Forty Men,
Armed With RevolVers, Con-
cerned in the Outrage.

was shot at, but was. not wounded,
while on his way here, from the Bale
ric islands. When between Alicante
and Encina, a bullet whizZed through
the roof of his car. The incident Gre
ated great alarm, but no one was IN
jured. This is the second attempt to
kill Premier Maura. Recently while
returning from services, after the
death of eX-Queen Isabella, a youth
made an attempt to stab him and glO-
ried in the fact that he had been Sc
lected to kill the premier. The dislike
of Maura in certain circles. at least,
is due to tne fact that he has been un-
lists and all he deemed enemies of the
government. Personally he is a mild
hammered man, but in dealing with
malefactors he knows no mercy.
The official report of the incident
given out by the minister of the inte-
rior says: LAS the train was running
between Alicante and San Vicente
some persons fired and others threw
stones. The gendarmes accompanying
the train returned the fire, Neither
the premier or t1e other passengers
were hurt. Two arrests we're made"
Later details show that the attemp.
on Senor Maura was an organized plot
in which between 80 and 40 men armed
with revOlVers were concerned.
A regular fusilade was exchanged
between the gendarmes accompanying
the train and the miscreants Many
marks Of bullets were found in the
train afterwards.
