charge of 2 cents per mile, was the
association whose roads operate in
Missouri and Kansas and perhaps 9TH

ton whatever in rates, but charged
the full regular fare to Washington,

Mr.. Beers urged that the pension
committee present a bill to congress
granting q pension Of SIS a mOnth to
veterans who are blind. He also rec
commended hat an effort be made to
have reappealed the law providing that
widows Of veterans who married after
June II, 1890, should not be entitled to
pensions.
THE most Of us are ~cOnVersant with
the Causes that led to the passage of
that law" he said. 1T was a neces-
Sary and a proper law then, but since
that time many honorable, kindly and
affeCtionate women hav married vet
Grams from the purest Of motives and
ministered to them il their last hours.
1t seems an injustice that such noble
women should be made to suffer with
the irresponsible class that the law
was designed to reach. Surely a law
can be framed that will separate the
wheat from the chaff."

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 18.-More
new settlers will be attracted to north-

showing made in raising corn than

spring.
Discouraged by their seasons work
without reward, farmers Of the central
states are coming to the northwest.
They are seeing fine fields of grain, and
the corn is attracting their attention
particularly. Cornfields are well ma
tured in practically all sections of the
state. The farmers have gathered their
seed for next year in greater quantity
than ever before, and the prospects
are that next year will see a greatly
increased corn acreage. ~
In the ST. Thomas, Pembina county,
district, about twenty Indian farmers
will make their permanent homes. Most
of them have bought land there, and
they will add to the business of a corn

have been in the hands of outside own

Land values are at a high point as a.
result of the demand, and farmers are

of the veterans of the union army and
the consideration due them are held
lightly in the estimation of the rail-

the south, however, gave the same
rates to both camps Of veterans, Mr..
Beers added. the alleged discrimina-

the union veterans. In his connec-

The Southern Passenger associa-

Ohio river, gave. the same rate to the
union Veterans that they had given to
the confederate veterans in May of this
year, namely, l cent per mile. The re-
manning associations, except the Trunk
Line association, located in New York
and the Trans-Continental lines, fixed
the rate at 2 cents per mile, which is,
I believe, a higher rate than the Grand
Army has paid in some years. In
