could see as many as twenty head;

They are preparing to irrigate!
part of the prairie country as it is !
very dry until you reach Calgary.
Here it is different. Calgary is a 1
beautiful city of eight thousand j
population. There I saw the first
spruce pines and Canada poplars,
soft water as ever run out of
the Rocky Mountains, clear and
nice running over pebbles. From
fehis city f could see the Rocky
Mountains. Looked like they
were only a few mites away but
tiie distance is over a hundred
miles west of the city. K spent
two days there and then went to
Edmonton, two hundred miles.
I found thriving little towns all
along from ten to twelve miles
apart.
The farmers are doing well*-
saise- fifty bushels of wheat to the
acre, oats 125< potatoes 400, vege
tables of all kinds. Cabbage sell
at one cent a pound. Turnips
grow large enough to weigh 25
pounds each. All kinds of small
grain grow there, but corn won’t
ear. Makes good fodder but no
corn. Edmonton is on th-e north
side of the Saskatchewan River.
Tho banks are frwo hundred feet
high. They are going to build the
railroad across this river. On

ountv | A Negro Captured in a Chim
ney.
It is reported that down in
Gwinnett county recently a negro
saw a planter with a large amount
of money in bills place them
in a trunk at home. This negro
secured tho services of two other
negroes to assist him in getting it.
The three negroes climbed to the
top of the roof of the house, there
attached a rope to the body of the
one who knew whe-o the money
was placed and let him down the
chimney. Tho darkies got about
their work most too early, for as
soon as the bare feet of the do
scending negro touched tho hearth
stone a splutter of sparks and cin
ders arose round his bare legs.
His struggles awakened the owner
of tho house, who was amazed to
see a pair of black legs dancing in
the hob embers on tho earth. Ho
made an assault upon the legs with
a,stout stick, but the cries of the
darkey caused him- to desist. When
discovered-,, blie negro’s two accom
plices made their escape and the
rope dropped 1 dbwn, the chknocy.
The negro became wedged tightly
in his prisou and a large portion of
the brick had to be removed be
fore he was extricated, with* badly
blistered feet. All three negroes
are now in jail. The question has
been raised as to what crime the
trio can- he indicted for, as neither
burglarly, larceny, trespassing,
nor disturbing tho peace scorn to
cover the case. There would have
been no question about it had that
planter built up a large fire and
smoked the would bo thief to death.
This be ought to have done.

"I don’t think we coujd keep

Draught. We haro used it in the
family tor orer two years with the
best of results. I have not had a
doctor in the houso for that length
of time. It is a doctor in itself and
always ready to make a person well
and happy.”—JAMES HALL, Jack-
' sonTiile, Ill.
Because this great medicine
relieves stomach pains, frees the
constipated bowels and invigor
ates tbe torpid liver and weak
ened kidneys
No Doctor
is necessary iu the home where
Thedford 8 Black-Draught is
kept. Families living in the
country, miles from any physi
cian, have been kept in health
for years with this medicine as
their only doctor. Thedford’a
Black - Draught cures bilious
ness, dyspepsia, colds, chills and
fever, bad blood, headaches,
diarrhoea, constipation, colic
and almost every other ailment
because the stomach, bowels
