WORLDS BIGGEST CATASTROPHE
II 10 the Plague Epidemic Now on in
l.dia.

The greatest catastrophe the world
has ever known il in progress at this
present moment, and the world recks
little or nothing of II.
This is the plague epidemic in India,
which has now been raging for more
than II years, and which, SO far from
showing any tendency 10 die out
keeps steadily increasing in intensity.
Thus. during the SIX weeks ending
May II last. 4s1.S92 persons perished
from 1t, or at the rate OF over $4,000
deaths a week.
Nothing approaching the appalling
horror represented by these figures
has ever been recorded before. The
nearest to II was in 1905. when dur
ing the last week in March, the epi-
demic was responsible for 57,7o2
deaths.
No pestilence Of ancient or modern
times OF which we have any knOwl-
edge has slain SO many millions Of
people as has this one, and the end Of
which. mind, is not yet.
The Great Plague" OF London, for
example, about which everybody has
heard, killed at the outside some 80,-
900 people in seven months, or about
as many as are dying weekly in India
from q disease which Is Identical with
1t In every respect
The "Black Death Is said to have
slain one.third OF the then population

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was in the
Office of the Canadian Government at
st. Paul. Minnesota. On the windows
of the building were signs to the effect
that homesteads of 100 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in
the windows were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege-
tables, which he was told were grown
in Western Canada. This could be
readily believed for in no other coun-
try on the Continent would it be pos
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty well advised
that in the growing of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables as
well the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have no
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State, and these exhibits are looked
upon as one of the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done in the climate of country pos
sessing soil that will grow things.
But that it was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But it was
the case. And apples too. Not of
course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more congenial to such Gull
ture, but they were in evidence.
Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm
ers were forced to stop and think.
When similar exhibit was placed be.
fore them during the past few weeks,
many of them were forced to stop and
remark: THAT is much ahead of any
thing we can do. The quality of the
srain we have conceded, for has not
so-andso sent us samples grown on
his own farm the like of which we had
never seen before. But to think of
Why, we thought everything was

THE WALSH TRIAL.
National Bank Examiner Moxey
Traces Bankers Financial Deals
Through Bank Books.

Chfcago.-Approximately 100000
which it is charged by the federal
prosecutors had been transferred by
John r. Walsh from the vaults of the
Chicago National bank to the co-of-
ficers of his several enterprises had
been traced by means of entries in
the books of the institution when Ma
tional Bank Examiner E. P. Moxey
stepped down from the witness stand
at the adjournment Tuesday of the
Walsh trial. Mr.. Moxey occupied the
stand throughout the morning and af-
ternoon sessions of court and all told
identified Is entries which it Is
claimed by the prosecution are proof
positive of misapplication of funds as
charged. The aggregate of the
amounts testined to was s1.000,000. A
similar amount was traced in me
manner Monday. AS on Monday the
bank examiner was not allowed to al
lege any connection between the vari-
Gus sums shown in the books. Such
testimony was ruled by Judge Ander-
son to amount to a conclusion on the
