A BOLD ROBBERY.
The Safe of the Parker & Falk-
ner Furniture Co.. Robbed
of Over $4, 100000 The
Thief did not get away
but $1,000.

Thief did not get away
with but $1,000.
Early Monday morning, after
opening up their place of business, a
member of the firm Of Parker &
Falkner Furniture Co., opened the
safe, as in the usual custom, leaving
the day combination on, and all went
to breakfast leaving no n in the
store but one clerk.
When they returned one of the
firm made a sale and went to the
safe for some change, and made the
startling discovery that the safe had
been robbed.
They keep a cash box in the safe
and this box contained about ST.
600. 90 in drafts and checks belonging
to Mr.. w. K. Parker, proprietor of
the Parker Cotton Co., and $4,000
belonging to the firm, which was
gone.
AS soon as the money was missed
a search wa. made for the box con-
tanning the drafts, checks, etc., and
the banks notified to be ON the lock-
out. After a short search the box
was found concealed not far from the
safe, with only twelve dollars in
money missing.
1tisnotknown when the money was
stolen, but it is supposed that while
the clerk was in the front part of the
| house some one entered the back
door and opened the safe and took
out the box containing the money,
| ETC., but for fear of being caught, only
| had time to take a small amount CT
the money.
This is the second time the safe
has been robbed in the past month
in a similar manner.
It was indeed a bold theft and
although the firm has no idea who
did the stealing, they are of the opfn.
ion that it IVES done by some one
well acquainted with the surround
ings and knew exactly where to FIND
the box containing the money.

when the natural question is asked,
Why this trek? The answer Is. in the
main, a very simple and plain one.
Wheat. The farmer, the rancher and
the man from the city are not leaving
the republic because they are dissatis-
fled with it's institutions; 1T Is not a
question of taxation or Of liberty of
conscience or of person: generally
speaking 1t is not a question of CHI
mate or Of healthfulness. The world
wants more wheat and the farmer is
willing to meet the worlds want be-
cause he wants the worlds money.

Much Railway Building.

One Of the features of Canada that
will greatly interest persons Investigate
ing that country, is the large amount
Of railway building now going on. The
Canadian Northern railway alone is
working on more than 1000 miles Of
railway and the Canadian Pacific is
building or projecting several hundred
miles besides. Moreover the Canadian
government has approved of an agree
ment with the Grand Trunk Pacific
railway whereby another trans-conti-
mental railway will be built; 1,400
miles Of main line Of this railway will
lie west Of Winnipeg, to say nothing
of the numerous branch lines and
feeders that will have to be built. This
work will be in full blast next sum-
mer. All Of these new railway lines
are opening up new country and add
ing to the value OF the land.

the fact that about $4,000 Americans

Mr.. Cope continued: ,.

distinguishable from our own. western
Canada has still immense tracts of
fertile, virgin soil. 1t is not strange
that men who have long struggled on
look longingly across the border when
they read such facts as the following:
One man came into western Canada
and bought a quarter section (16O
acres) for 5000; the cost of breaking
the soil, seeding, all labor, harvesting
tors, including all up-keep for the sea-
son, when added to the purchase price
of the farm made a total expenditure
of $4,000; his yield Of $500 bushels Of
wheat sold for $4,100 leaving him, In
addition to his increase of wealth by
the possession Of the farm, tools, etc.,
the richer by $1,000.
$7.S7 Per Acre the Minimum.
1.-THE experimental farm at Bran
don, Man., places the average cost OF
raising an acre of wheat at $7.87 and
the average selling value of the same
at SIS; in many cases the latter mas
been doubled by yields Of over nifty
bushels to the acre.
Besides the ranchers, 1aborers and
day workers are drawn to these great
wheat fields by the needs Of the
ranchers for help; they are eagerly
offering $40 and board month to
men to work in the harvest ne!ds.
While able-bodied men are earning
! So month on farms in Tennessee q
know of one instance of man
hiring himself and his wife to work
for farmer there for one year for
$4O); in Missouri for $12 a month,
and for SIS in New York, it Is not
strange that they will move on, when
! they can, into Montana, where they
can make from $3.50 to SO a day in
the hay season, or from $35 to $40
month by the year, or into western
! Canada, where the wages are about
as good and the chances of becoming
independent are much better.
Many of the men who are going
| into Alberta and Assiniboia are Of the
type who feel crowded in a state like
Montana, for example, where there Is
a density of population Of almost two
to the square mile. They like to be in
the front of movements Of people
where they can look out and not see

year the price Of wheat throughout

that fact and her change of color she

could she tell by any sensation IN the

the skin. There seems to be no doubt,
however, that the effect noted was due
to that cause in her case, as it also was
in that of Abram Ireland, although IN
the latter case superstitious persons were
disposed to attribute it to the fact that
he had a white wife. In neither case
was there any change of features, the
