A charge of assault was preferred against Ed, but the officers failed to locate him until Monday night, when they were informed that he could be found at a certain house in AveTyt- town When the policemen entered the house the wedding was about 10 be con summated but when Ed spied the officers he broke through the crowd and diyed out the back door into outer darkness and mud The frightened groom stayed not for deep. damp ditch but splashed through and away. Some of the guests made bond for the appearance of the fugi, tive, and it was learned yesterday that some time after the departure of the minions of the law Ed was apprehended by his friends and induced to return, af- ter which the wedding bells chimed mer= rily.

mander of the army Of the Revolution

ganize it he found great want Of am.
munition and other means of defense,
and on one occasion it seemed that no
means could be devised for the neces.
sary safety.

the governor of the state Of Connect
cut, and the general. placing the great.
est reliance on his excellency's judg-
ment. remarked. 1--WE must consult
Brother Jonathan on the subject" The
general did SO. and the governor was
successful in supplying many of the
wants Of the army. Thenceforward
when difficulties arose and the army
was spread over the country it became
a byphrase, I'VE must consult Brother

come a designation for the whole

IN VIEW of the voluminous adj

advantages offered in western
Canada are pictured in glowing
colors, it is well to note the fact
that the reliable press of the
country that makes a specially
OF ascertaining and publishing
information assert that western
Canada is over crowded in pro-
portion to the capacity of the
railroads to handle the product
of the farms. In fact most of
the wheat in a large part of that
country has not been moved and
the estimates are that much of
it never will go to the market.
The st. Paul Farmers Dispatch

this matter and showed that the
result was not only a great loss

HITTING FRAUD

THE STATISTICAL department.
of the Wisconsin, Advancement
association has taken steps to
prevent Wisconsin people from
being fooled by the claims OF the
southern exploiters that their
sections are immune from frosts
and that every month is a grow
ing month. This is not the
pleasant side of publicity work,
but is better to do it than to
have the people of this stale
buncoed by such claims and IN
duced to go there only to IND
that there is but little difference
in the length of the real growing
season there and here. In It's
bulletins the Wisconsin Advance
ment association has pointed out
the fact that in November there
was a freeze along the gulf coast,
another in December, when 1T
rained in Wisconsin while snow
ing there, once more in January,
and now. in Feb, 81, a dispatch
from Austin Tex. tells OF two
millions of dollars loss from the
latest freeze unless there has
been another since then. 1t is
true that their season between
frosts is a little longer than here
but their season is a slower one
as is shown by the government
figures on s'sowing and harvest
ing" Careful investigation
proves that the regions are
scare that have greater immuni-
ty from frosts during the grow
ing seasons than Wisconsin, and
che crop in this state equals two
or three in the gulf states.
The Wisconsin Advancement
association uses authentic gov
eminent statistics and is 'oppos-
ed to quoting exceptional cases
that may deceive homeseekers.
