Then followed the attempt to enact the
Force bill. It's authors and proponents
called It the Federal election bill, but it
was so odious to the majority Of the peo-

bill provided that all elections for Fed

SETTLES ARGUMENT.

Q. To settle an argument please tell
me whether Grover Cleveland made an
active campaign for his election as Gov
ernor Of New York? g. II. 7.
A. Cleveland's gubernatorial campaign
could scarcely be called active in the
modern acceptance Of the term, since he
made no speeches whatever. His only
appeal to the voters Of the state, If 1t
might be called such, was contained In
his letter formally accepting the nomi-
nation.

larger part of the immigrants now
coming to this country, according to
a statement issued by the interracial
council.
immigration officials of this part
state that women and girls have in
the last few weeks outnumbered the
men two, and sometimes three, to
one. The fact appears to be well
established, the council declares, that
some of the foreign governments are
the emigration of women, but places
obstacles in the way of able-bodied
male workers.
Meanwhile emigration from Amer
lea is made up almost entirely of men
who have given up employment in
factories, mills and mines to return
to their homeland, taking with them
savings estimated conservatively a
$4,000 for each emigrant. Since the
signing of the armistice 275, 1000 emf

thorities believe that approximately
1,125,000 more will leave when pres

York next Wednesday attended b,
representatives of industry, agricul

about number of the big business

day through a subterfuge is only the
first of a number of similar moves
by employers throughout the coun

FLOW OF MISSOURI.

Sioux City, April 6.-According to
reports received in Sioux City, the
Missouri river overflowed between
South Sioux City and Jackson, Neb..

age to property.
Flood waters were runnin between
the house and barn of Herbert Wes-
ter, farmer living one mile west of
South Sioux City. The water had
flooded his hog pens, but the stock
was saved. His house and barn are
on high ground. Mr.. Webster said
that rs or 80 acres of his corn and
potato land are under water. Nc
serious damage will result, he said
but cultivation may be retarded.
G.. W. McDowall, government me-
teorologist in Sioux City, received
word that flood waters from the Mis-
souri, river are flowing into Crystal
lake through the old river channel
Breaking up of the river between
Chamberlain, S. d., and Williston, N

here, Mr. McDowall said. LowlanG

Chicago embargo has resulted in the
diversion of a large quantity of live
stock to Sioux City that under other
circumstances might have been con-
signed to the Chicago market.
Even though dead freight is to be
accepted by the railways, shippers are
anticipating that there will be con-
siderable interruption to traffic and
that business will be more or less in
terfered with because of the inability
of the roads to handle promptly
freight in the Chicago yards.

II. Il. KOENIGSBERG MAKES S7O,-
600 IN PERIOD OF ELEVEN
YEARS.

Milbank, April 6.--R. b. Koenigs-
berg, formerly farmer of the Steam
boat Rock district of Iowa, saw $3.50
grow to nearly $4,000 in a period of
L years.
Eleven years ago he came from
Iowa and located on Grant county
farm, which he purchased on time
His sole capital in cash consisted of
the $3.50. Koenigsberg gave note
for the full purchase price of the
farm, the consideration being $4,000
for the 160 acres.
The other day Koenigsberg sold
the farm and an adjoining one for a
trifle less than $4,000. When he
located on the farm his wife and chill
dren aided him so far as possible
with the farm work, and by close at
tention to the work of the farm they
prospered greatly year by year.
When he had accumulated some
ready cash he purchased the adjacent
farm for $45 per acre. The two
| quarters now have been sold at q
rate of $215 an acre.
At this price was included the cat
tie, hogs, machinery, feed, hay, seed
grain, fencing and, in fact, everything
on the place, just as it stands. The
invoice of all this personal property
amounted to $38,983.
When Koenigsberg located on his
first farm neighbors told him he

Some time ago the residence OF
Coates was robbed by three boys, who
carried away valuable collection of
coins and other articles. Part of the
stolen loot was recovered.
Coates, however, did not lose the
Masonic emblem and he was some
what mystified when it was turned
over to him. The thief who stole the
emblem from it's owner must have be-
come confused as to the place which
he had robbed.
The emblem now has been identi-

been turned over to him.
