Few people in the East can apprec!-
ate what life is on the plains especi-
ally regarding the districts where cat
tie raising is the chief industry.
The question regarding the beef
trust which has attracted the attention
Of the entire country of late is brought
about IN a great meas re from the
very fact Of the trouble that is ex-
periences by the cattle raisers In
Montana.
II is a notorious fact that ranch
owners are continually having trouble
with the wholesale cattle stealing by
outlaw ranch workers, who after rob
bing their owners of the stock sell
them to the beef trust at a price below
/ that which the owners themselves can
sell, the results from this have been
to the effect that the Trust now has
set a price to the ranch owners far be-
low the cost of raising. All these In
cidents and others of trying character
are shown in the play OF Montana"
which is to be seen at the Lyceunl
Theatre to-day, Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Two carloads Of scenery, four
horses and twenty people are required
in this productions
One of the most ambitious stars in
the theatrical armament is Chauncey

A Remarkable Criminal.

A rather better man than Jack
Sheppard died a couple of years ago
In the person of John Gillespie.
Called the king Of lock-pickers, he was
cunning man, equal to all sorts Of
deceits. Crime at Wigan brought him
to the gallows. Before the moose could
be placed about his neck he began to
kick and struggle and to foam at the
mouth. The authorities thought him
about to die, and sentence was com.
muted. Soapsuds had done the trick.
But the dying man made so excellent
a recovery that on the way to the
infirmary he was able to spring up
and escape. Many times after that
he was in and out of prison. The
warders were always glad to see the
back Of him. He could pick any lock.
Stealing from his cell at night, he
would make his way to the governors
house, ransack his wine cellar, and
share his booty with the other prison
ers. He was converted in the end,
and died poor but penitent in Carlisle

1t will be seen that the number Of
acres sown to wheat, oats and barley
in 1898 was 429,749, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1.587.337. The
total crop in the cereals mentioned
was 9,033,297 bushels in 1898, and in
1904 it had grown to the magnificent
total Of 35,4l3,522.. In the year just
closed the forward movement" in
the agriculture of the west has been
the wonder and envy of the world.
New sections Of the country have
been placed under tribute to the plow
and harrow, and the grain area has
been largely increased. This is par
ticularly the case where it has been
demonstrated that Alberta Red" win
ter wheat may be successfully grown,
and along the lines of the new rail-
ways towards the centre of the coun.
try, where mixed farming prevails.
The future of the Canadian West
is assured, and for years t6 come 1t
is bound to be the land Of promise to
the agriculturist Of every nation and
of every cline, and the land of oppor-
tunity to every settler within its

The persistent effect upon the heart
of caf1ne in coffee cannot but re-
suit in the gravest conditions, in time.

means each cup of coffee) weakens
the organ little more. and the end
is almost a matter of mathematical

business. which eventually developed
into a distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was add.

sufferings from these things can be
better imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than did that cot.

WINTER WEAKNESS
o.. Williams Pink PiIls the Tonic
That Most People Need Tor
Blood and Nerves.

In winter the air Of the close rooms n
which we spend 60 much Of the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter in the
blood. In the cold season we do not exer-
else as much aud the skin and kidneys do
not throw of the waste matter as freely
as usual. The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it of. Relief can be had only
through the use Of a remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen the blood, and the one best
adapted for this purpose is the great
blood tonic known as Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills.
"They acted like magic in my case. %

My stomach and nerves were. out of or

months of feebleness, growing weaker
all the time until finally hadn t strength

'"Then glad day came, the day when
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They made me feel strong right away.
My appetite came back, I took OH flesh
and the color returned to my cheeks.
People wondered that these pills did for
me what the doctors couldn't do. took
only six boxes aud then I was perfectly
well. If had not found this wonderful
remedy / surely think that must have
wasted to death. Believing firmly that
these, pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave me ut Il critical mo.

b. MeineN was a sailor in the
ships company Of the British ship
Brenda until yesterday noon. But
rather than. endure the treatment he
feared he would be sure to receive
once the ship was out Of sight Of
land he preferred to trust himself
to the mercy of the sea. So, Just as
the ship was clearing the channel
and the officers and all hands were
busy making all sail to catch the
least breath of wind, he jumped over
board. He was manacled with hand
ours, or, more properly, heavy iron
bracelets fastened together with a
chain, but he preferred death in the
bright daylight to the life he had en-
dured aboard ship as we'll as to pos
sfble death in the brig after abuse
and slow starvation. At least that
was the Impression his story gave.
There was no time to get into bath
ing trunks or even to peel off his
heavy boots or even his coat. There
was but time to get a friend to
break a single link in his chain, and
then to jump into the sea and possi-
bly, into the waiting jaws of a shark.
II the ship or his comrades missed
the man, there was no boat lowered
to save him. The ship went on her
course apparently unmindful of the
possible fate of one Of her crew.
When the Brenda was standing of
some three or four miles to sea, a
pleasure craft from the French ship
Ernest Reyer, whaleboat rugged
with sail and manned by two of her
common sailors. found Mcneil with
lungs half filed with salt water des.
perately hugging the spar buoy.
The Frenchmen were returning
from a Sunday sail when they spied
the British sailor. They hove to and
asked him il he wanted to come
ashore, and half by signs-for his
lungs were SO full of water that he
could hardly falkland half by words
he made them understand that he did
so. So the Frenchmen hauled him
aboard and sailed into the harbor to
their ship, landing him on Sorenson

desert. but was roped in by the U.

to the reef. About a week ago he
was delivered to- his captain on or

taken back aboard ship. AS the time
OF departure approached, the captain,
fearing he would again desert, put
him in the brig on bread and wa
ter diet: Just how he got out of the
brig or who broke his manacles is
not known. In order to show cause

did it must be a fearful tale he has to
