so seriously injured that it was thought
they would die, having regained
strengh and are now on the road to re.
covery.
Mrs. William Bradley, of Superior,
Wis, one of those whom it was exnect-
ed could not live, is in much better
condition. Her experience was a
frightful one, she being carried about
100 yards from the place where she
was when the storm struck. A heavy
kitchen range was rolled down the
creek also, and struck her in its trav-
els, lodging on her chest and injnring
her frightfully. Her son, Clarence,
lad several ribs broken, hut he also
will recover.
Mrs. Ora Spry, another of those who
was expected to die, is also much bet
ter. She had triple fracture of the
skull, while her son, Lester, has bou-
BILE skull fracture. The lad also has a
broken hip and deep cash in the
throat, but will recover.

Is ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WINTER
WHEAT AND WILL TURN FARM.
FOR THIS PURPOSE,
SAYS THE DAT CROP THIS YEAE
IS THE BEST SINCE 1884
CORN ALSO GOOD.
Has Diversified Enough This Year to
Put Everything to Thorough Test
and is More Than Pleased With the
Prospects for Raising Winter Wheat
Samples of Corn at Office.

Probably one of the most enthusias-
tic winter wheat farmers in Ramsey
county is Charles Baker, who insists
that he is going to put in his entire
farm into winter wheat as soon as he
completes this harvest. So successful
was Mr.. Baker with this years attempt
that he is going to venture into the
business on a large scale and feels con-
fident Of his success.
Mr.. Baker hit for the threshing
fields today. He says he has varied
crop this year and has put everything
which spells "diversifed farming" to
a test, having flax, oats, barley, corn
and wheat in equal abundance on his
places as we'll as his successful ven
ture in winter wheat this year.
The threshing Of his wheat went
thirteen bushels to the acre and his
oats he figures will go fifty to sixty
bushels to the acre, as indicated by
few bundles already threshed.
Not since 1854 has there been such
an oat crop in this section, according
to Mr.. Baker, when 105 bushels to the
acre was the order. The corn is espee-
tally good this year and some excellent
samples are on display at the Baker
office.

that persuasion. The effect of the an
nexation argument advanced by the
Conservative press and speakers in
those counties largely populated by
descendants Of those who left New
York and New England at the time of
the revolution, is problematical.
The influence Of pawerful patriot
lie order in English-speaking districts is
expected to be exerted in favor of the
conservative party and in the st. John
valley, the opposition party is using
the railroad issue as card against the
federal government.
The liberal leaders say they will hold
their eleven seats and gain one in st.
John, but admit there is some doubt
about holding Kent county, French
district, where fractional differences
point to the election of conservative.
The conservative leaders claim that
they will retain both seats previously
held by them-York county and st.
John city-and will carry st. John
City and county.

MISS CHEZICK SUFFERED ACCI-
DENT IN FRONT OF GREAT

PIPE LEFT STANDING FOR STREET
LIGHT SIXTEEN INCHES
ABOVE SIDEWALK.

An accident, which will undoubtedly
result in damage action against the
city occurred about 9 O'Clock last Sun"
day evening when party CT ladies',
were returning from the Great North
ern depot, Miss Chezick, employed in
the Bernier hair dressing establishment,
tripping on one Of the pipes which
had been left projecting above tho

siderably bruised. Miss Chezick was
walking on the outside of the party

confined to her room since the accident
and it is understood that she has plac-
ed the matter in the HAMS of an at
torney. A damage action will likely

ACTUAL FLYING TIME BETWEEN
ST. LOUIS AND NEW YORK is,
% HOURS AND 81 MINUTES.

New York, Aug. 26.-Harry N. At
wood, the American aviator, ended his.
long, record-breaking aeroplane fight
from St. Louis when he landed at Gov
ernor's Island at 1888 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. Atwood flew to town
from Nyack, distance Of about thirty
miles, in forty-five minutes. He fol-
lowed the rivers course, flying most
of the time so to 100 feet above the
surface of the water.
Cheered by Thousands.
Thousands of people focked to the
city roofs and cheered tn aviator as he
flew down the river. The whistles of
steamships and all manner of water
craft joined in the noisy welcome. At
wood had planned to land at Sleeps
head Bay, and he may fly there later,
but officially his trip ended at Cover
nor g Island.
Actual Flying Time, % Hours, 81
Minutes.
The aviator's actual flying time for
the entire trip from St. Louis was 2S
hours and 81 minutes. He thus com
pleted in twelve days an unprecedented
aeroplane flight of more than 1865

LIBERALS TAKE HEART IN QUE
BEG AFTER THE PREMIER'S
SERIES OF SPEECHES,

Toronto, Ont, Aug 26.-With the
election which will decide the fate Of
the reciprocity agreement still more
that three weeks off. the fight in this
great industrial and agricultural prov
ince of Canada has reached point
where prctically everything else has
been neglected in the heat of the polit-
ical battle.
R. L. Borden, leader Of the opposi-
ton, has completed his Ontario tour.
having delivered more than thirty
speeches in constituencies considered
doubtful, and will devote the balance
Of his time to Quebec and the maritime
fax is thought to be in danger.
Premier Laurier will return to Ontar-
10 next week to speak in several rural
constituencies. 1t is the farmers vote
which is considered likely to decide the
fate of reciprocity. Every voter in a
farming community, is considered i'm
portant, whereas, in the city nobody
seems to care whether the voter exer-
cises his franchise. This is explained
by the fact that every city in Canada,
except Kingston and Ottawa (the seat
of government and the home of thous-
ands of civil employees) gives an over
whelming tory majority.
An unusual feature Of the campaign
is that Clifford sifton, formerly minis
ter of the interior in the Laurier gov
eminent, has come out against reciproc.
ity. Mr.. Sifton is life long Liberal
and was the Liberal member for Bran
don in the house of commons just dis.
solved, but has taken the stump against
the issue favored by his party.
In some Of the farming communities
the failure of the Farmers bank
which cost the farmers Of several coun
ties hundreds of thousands of dollars
is being discussed by the opposition
and may lose the government votes.
Before the charter was issued, it is
claimed that Finance Minister Fielding
was notified of the shady character Of
those promoting the bank but never
theless the charter was granted. Tht
alleged laxity Of the finance commits
sioner is being used as an argumen
against the government.

SONG CAUSED NERVOUSNESS OF
J. w. RICHARDS, WHO IS VERY
ILL AT BROOKLYN.

New York, Aug. 2e-suffering from
nervous prostration brought on by
listening to the monotonous strains of
"All Alone" every night at Coney Is
land, J. W. Richards, mounted police
man, is i'll at his home in Brooklyn and
under the care Of physician.
His post was in Surf avenue, where
the bands as well as the merry-go-
round seem to have particular liking
for CAN Alone.' At first Richards
liked the tune; in fact, hummed it
softly as the bands and organs played
it. But when, day after day and night
after night, he was compelled to listen
to CAN Alone,'' Richards began to
feel queer.
He did not know just what the trou-
BILE was, but noticed that when he got
home he felt little easier. Every
time he went to duty he felt the same
disquietening sensations and at last
took to his bed. A physician diagnosed
his malady as nervous prostration.
