GOAT UNDER ARREST.
Ate the Flowers and Crepe That
 Hung On Chicago Door.

Chicago, Aug 1S.-Polieeman Mi chael O'Toole was travelling his beat in Westlake street last night when he was called upon to sarrest" a billy goat for eating a bunch of flowers and a streamer of crepe that hung from the door knob of a house. The goat was nibbling at the wreath when some one in the house went to the door. The animal with sharp tug pulled the flowers and crepe from their fastenings aud ran.
 O'Toole was importuned by the family of the one for whom the death symbol was on the door to arrest the goat.
 The animal swallowed the floral emblem and part of the crepe before the policeman could conquer him with his club. He finally was over powered and taken to the station house in the patrol wagon.

colossal apparatus now being installed
in the wonderful steel plant building of

BY means OF n heretofore Unthought Of
extension of the use of the blast furnace
gas the Indiana Steel company will save
and put 10 work Il power which has been
only partly used up to now, and which
was once utterly wasted. And that that
power will entirely dispIace steam in the
great mills, and that the rolling Of more
than 100000 tons Of steel ingots per
year VIII be but one portion Of the work
it will perform, indicates the tremendous
Importance OF the innovation.
For every ton Of pig iron which flowed
for many years from the mouths of the

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
Days of Financial Stress Make Farm
Lands Look Rich.

Lands Look Rich.
A staff contributor of n Southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm Of many who
had fOrsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says 1T is Il well-lluown fact
that the history of this government
shows that those men who have been
most successful in life and who have
left their impress upon its people and
its institutions as statesmen, soldiers,
nnanCierS, have as a rule been those
whose youth was spent on the farm.
ana 1t is to such rs these that there
comes with overmastering power THE
CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially
does 1t come with redoubled persuasive
ness, greater power and Sweeter plead
ing 10 the man of affairs when the
clouds Of financial unrest begin to dark
en- the sky; when the cry of panic
causes people to lose their wits and act
like Stampeded cattle; when with rea-
son or without reason there arises be-
fore him the specter Of ruin, griuning
in his face and waving its gauut arms
in threatening geSticulatiou.
The pitlable state into which so,ne
men were brought by the recent fiuan-
cial furry which happily is now pass
ed, suggests these reflections. Some
were ruined and very few became in
sane because of their losses. Two or
three took their own lives.
It is when such times come
q No
cier, and the man of affairs becomes
tired of the struggle. He lays down
his pen, turns from his desk and
listens to THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases through
out the United States Of those who
have money in the banks and are look
ing for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take
for instance, the lands in West
ern Canada that can be bought
at from SO to SIS per acre
which yield a revenue equal to and
often greater than their original cost.
These lands make certain invest
ment. During the past two months
large investments in these lands have
been made, some intending to use the
lands for farming purposes of their
own, others to resell to farmer
friends The agents of the government
Of Canada located at different points
throughout the United States have in
their possession particulars of districts
in which there are free homestead
grants of 100 acres, each accessible 70
railways, markets. schools. churches,
etc. These are valuable lands. These
agents will be pleased to give informa-
ton to any DESTROYS of securing and
will tell all about the railway rates,
