Members of the Christian Science
faith are considerably elated with
the abandonment of the suit against
Mrs. Eddy by the leading counsel
for the plaintiff, Ex-senator Chand-
Ter. The inference is that Senator
Chandler found that he had no basis
for his contention that Mr.. Eddy
was mentally incapable of managing
her own affairs. The averge reader
concluded long ago that the suit had
its basis in desire on the part of
Mrs. Eddy's son to get control of a
slice of his mothers property. We
would not give much for his birth
right after the trouble he has stirred

The new government canal at the
500, which will be ready for traffic
with the opening of navigation next
spring, will be a great boon to lake
navigation. Under present condi-
lions there is great difficulty and
frequent delay at that point in hand

boats between lakes Superior and
Huron. Commencing next year, the
twin canals will be used on the
double-track principle all up-bound
vessels going through one canal,
while the east-bound craft will go
in single file through the other,
thus doubling the capacity of the
passage way. The new canal cost
four and half millions Of dollars.

A LITTLE SERMON.
catastrophe.

Bishop Thomas Bowman, on the
recent celebration at Orange of his
ninetieth birthday, spoke wisely of
religious federation.
1.-The older one grows" said the
famous Methodist bishop, 1.-THE more
one disregards the little, unimport-
ant, useless things that. separate one
denomination from another. One
fixes ones mind on the great things
that bind all denominations together.
And they who, neglecting charity
and uprightness and honor, wrangle
over SMALL UNCONVENTIONAL differ
ences, seem to an old man as absurd
as the Taoist and the Shintoist.
Perhaps you know the story.
"A Taoist-I think it was Taoist
once fell down a we'll, and Shin
toist-or some such person ran at
full speed to his assistance.
"'Oh. brother cried the Shin
toist, leaning over the well-curb,
be Of good cheer. A ladder is at
hand, and | shall have you out in a
jiffy.'
1.-The Taoist was padding about
in the dark down below, up to his
chin in the icy water.
"'No, no. he grunted, putting
painfully. Fetch no ladder, broth

this is Tuesday. the day consecrated

down prayers and arguments into
the well; but prayers and arguments
alike were Of no avail with the de-
vout Taoist. The other. obliged to
leave the man to his fate, departed
sadly, shaking his head at the sound
of the grunts, pnffs and splashes
which assembled from the blackness
far below.
THE next morning the Shintoist
returned to the well. He peered
over curiously. Yes, the Taoist was
still there. The noise of his strug-
giles still rose up.
'Ho, brother shouted the Shin
toist, is all we'll with you below?'
All is well, replied the Taoist,
in a very weak voice; but pray
you, brother, fetch that ladder at
once
The Shintoist threw up his hands
in shocked surprise.

According toreports published last
week, the spring wheat crop in
Saskatchewan and Alberta have suf-
fered severely from the last August
freeze in that region. Just think of
a freeze in August severe enough to
damage growing wheat. And this
is not the first or likely to be the
last one in that part of the kings
dominions.

STAY AT HOME
Canada Has Many Drawbacks Says One
Who Knows.

A. D. Seeley stopped off at Glen
wood on Wednesday on his way
home to Eden Valley, this state, to
visit with A. S. Nelson. The pur-
pose of his visit to the states was to
look after his farm interests that he
has near Eden Valley.
He has filed on a quarter section
of land in Saskatchewan and spent
the past winter there. While inter-
ested in the country to the far north
and somewhat hopeful of prospects
there he considered it only fair to
say that farmers here may have
many advantages over the agricul-
turalists of that section. While
the soil of Saskatchewan is more
productive than here and under
favorable climatic conditions will
yield twice as much wheat and other
small grain as this country does,
the crops are as a rule unsafe and
extremely doubtful. This year is
very backward, continuous drought
during the summer, being response
BILE for an extremely low yield.
The climate is light and healthy, but
very severe. The past winter was
exceptionally cold, the thermometer
registering from forty to sixty de
grees below zero from day to day
for long period Of time. The win
ter lasts according to Mr. Seeley,
about twelve months; eight Of the
months being very cold, and the
other four chilly enough for wear
ing heavy wooden clothing.
Mr.. Seeley is no pessimist. He
has faith in the country in which he
is located, SO much so that he thinks
it is the coming wheat belt of Amer
lea, provided they can get rainfall
enough. But with conditions as
they are he does not hesitate to say
that person is much better off on
the average Minnesota farm than he
can possibly be in Saskatchewan.

WILSON'S IRE is AROUSED
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE

DRUG MEN.

Washington, April 17.-"lf this out
rageous misrepresentation does not
cease the department will publish a
list bearing the names OF manufac-
turers who are INDUCING in this cam
paign of deception"
This remark was uttered by Secre-
tary Wilson of the department OF agrl-
culture in an authorized statement
yesterday, and was brought forth by
the fact that there had come to his
knowledge information that number
of manufacturers of foods and drugs
were freely advertising that the
United States government was guar
anteeing their products. The secre'
tary said that the serial number aud
guaranty required by the pure food
and drug act to be placed on food and
drug products were being used by
these manufacturers for this purpose.
"The serial nmber," said Secretary
Wilson, lis assigned to fix the respon-
sibility where it belongs-upon the
manufacturer to protect inno-
cent dealers who have a right under
the law to rely upon his guaranty IL
is the guarantee Of the manufacturer
not the guarantee of the government.
