LAND SEEKERS
FULL OF HOPE
TRAINLoADs OF SETTLERS START
FOR DAKOTA.
Crowd Ranged from the Man Who
Had stalSed His All. on the Trip, to
the Tin Horn Gambler and Thimble
Rigger- Clerks Would Be Farmers.

L Two crowded Great Northern trains
pulled out of the union station last
night bound for the new lands at
Devils Lake and Grand Forks. Train
No. had twelve cars, with 403 pas
sengers, and train No. 8 had four
teen cars, with 49, prospective set
tiers. There was the same suppressed
excitement at the station as when IN
pioneer days the early land seekers
started from New England for the
west Many tickets were sold without
the return slip, and while most of the
landseekers expect to return to their
homes if unsuccessful, about third
declared that, win or lose, they would
throw their lot in with the new coun-
try, where everyone has an equal
show.
It was strange gathering. few
regarded the trip as a pleasure ex-
Ecursion, but many looked upon 1T as a
| crisis in their lives. Almost every sta
ton in life was represented. Many
were farm hands who will try for. q
claim and If unsuccessful will go into
the harvest fields. There were clerks
who knew nothing except the counter
and anxious fathers who babe farewell
Ito the families to whom the chances
meant SO much. There was a group of
4 street car workers who talked about
putting on the brakes and ringing up
fifty bushels to the acre. Notable
among the groups were bad men
looking for trouble and swearing that
! they were going to show who owned
the new country. Finally, there We're
those men who intended to get rich
from their fellows; restaurant keepers,
amusement men, and gamblers

Most of the passengers came from
the twin cities or the country round
about. George Hanson, a farmer from
/ Delano, spoke of the expectations OF
himself and Of his friends:
4 Most of the people from the coun-
try are not going so much because
they are out Of a job" said he, as
because they are in the hopes of bet
tering themselves. If they are un-
successful, they can return home and
there won't be much loss. 1t they
connect, then there is a chance TIC
make their way to the top. Every
body will be equal in the new lands
and the farm hand will be the farm
owner. When it comes to these chaps
who give up a job in the city, it's diff
s ferent. If they lose they are out OF

new country for hired hands. I sup.

Sitting patiently the sidewalk on
Nicollat avenue, a little, hunchback boy
has attracted the attention of sympathet-
ic pedestrians on busy afternoons. Many
nickels and dimes have found their way
to him in exchange for the bouquets of
sweet peas or for the sake of charity
While realizing that the boy has a per-
feet right. to sell flowers, the Associated
Charities has investigated with a view to
taking the frail little fellow off the street.
He is Roland Vangrens, and lives with
his parents at 1887 Sixteenth avenue S.
His father is a carpenter and earns good
wages while an older brother has remun-
erative employment. His home. is well
furnished and the family has no need OF
charity.
The Associated Charities has reported
the case to the Hurnape society, and asked
that the child be- forbidden to sell flowers
on the street. The matter was referred
to Mayor Haynes.

CATCHING COLD.
Is the Beginning of Most Winter
Ailments Protects
Against and Cures Colds.

There is no TACT of medical science
better established than that a teaspoon
full of Peruna before each meal during
the winter season will absolutely pro-
tect person from catching cold. Now,
if this is true (and there is no doubt of
it), thousands of lives would be saved,
and tens of thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within reach of ev-
cry one.
After q cold has been contracted a
teaspoonfull of Peruna every hour will
shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it
behind. After chronic catarrh. has be-
come established, or the first stages OF
chronic bronchitis or consumption have
been reached, it will take much longer
to effect cure.
It seems strange that as we'll known
and we'll established as these facts are
any one should neglect to profit by
them, and yet no doubt there are many
who pay little or no attention to them

EARLY DAYS IN NEW YORK.
Famous Negro Plot in 174I Caused
Great Excitement.

The old manuscripts in the possession
of the New York Historical society
show that the negro was introduced
there early in the seventeenth century
by the Privileged Trading company Of
Amsterdam. In record of lease in
1888, in the office of the secretary Of
the colony, Of certain tract of land
near Fort Amsterdam negroes are
mentioned, the agreement being made
in the names of 1.-THE Privileged Trad
ing company" and the honorable, wise
and prudent Sir William Kieft, di-
ector-general Of New Netherlands" :"
This tract of land was used for the
cultivation Of tobacco, as was part Of
Pawles Hook, the whole of which was
sold by William Kieft to Abram Isaac
Planck for f75, and a plantation to
Thomas Hall, with the negroes
thereon"
with the Dutch and English until 1712,
when an insurrection occurred among
them, and they set fire to the city, kill
ing several of the inhabitants. Nine
teen of the negroes were executed, says
the New York Tribune.
The celebrated negro plot of 1741 oc-
CURED when there was about 1900
inha abitants in the city, one-sixth Of
whom were negro slaves. Of this plot
book, published in 1910. says:
After the lapse of nearly a century
we look back with astonishment on
the panic occasioned by the negro plot.
To judge from tradition and the journal
of the proceedings against the conspir-
ators ne doubt can be had of the actual
existence of the plot. The very mode
adopted to discover abettors by mutual
examinations and confessions tended in
the progress Of the trials to inculpate
every negro slave in the city. AS it
was impossible to prove all equally
guilty. the ringleaders only were
executed, and those who pleaded
guiky and threw themselves on the
mercy of the court were transported"
Suspicion Of a plot among the ne
grees was first occasioned by frequent
alarms Of fires and robberies. The
most famous robbery occurred at the
house Of a Mr.. Hogg. in Broad street,
WleS linen anu SILVER COluS, CHlSAy
Spanish, to the value Of EGO, were
taken. On Wednesday, March Is, 174O,
a fire broke out in "his majesty's house,
at Fort George. The citizens as
sembled promptly and assisted in saw
ing the records and papers in the office
of the secretary Of state" The govern
or's house and the venerable Dutch
church, erected in 1910. were destroyed.
Other fires occurring afterward, panic
followed among the colonists. Many
negroes were arrested and from the
evidence obtained it appeared that the
city was destined to be burned CON-
pletely and the inha bitants massacred.
Fifty-five Of those arrested were con-
victed and seventy-eight confessed.
Thirteen were burned at the stake at
a place then out Of town. near the
present intersection of Pearl street and
Park row; twenty were hanged, seven
ty were transported and fifty were
discharged.
