Marks had been chasing j the wolves, when his horse stumbled I and threw him. The horse. »lth one leg broken, hobbled into the ranch corral, and a searching party immedi ately was organised.

Troops Act as Escort. Frederick's body was conveyed from the Hamburg Hof hotel to the railway ; station with full military honors. A company of the Seventh Imperial Ger i man infantry had been provided for an escort and the soldiers were accom | panied by the regimental band. Tbe i troops • carried cased colors of the i regiment in honor of the dead. The . streets were lined with solid masses : of humanity. Many stood with bowed ] heads as the cortege passed. Flags upon all the buildings in the ■ city were at half-mast. .The king's body had been inclosed i in a coffin of steel and oak. in keeping | with the simplicity of his life. King Frederick Y!I1., accompanied by Queen Louise and their aides and attendants, was on his way to tte Ki veria. where physicians had advised him to go to recuperate from the el : fects of a severe attack of influenza and incipient pneumonia, of which he : was recently the victim. A long motor ride through the damp i air is believed to have brought on a re lapse. and his insistence on walking I Through the streets in the chill night 1 air. despite the entreaties of his at tendants. is thought to have aggra vated his condition. Queen Louise Hysterical. When Queen Louise was informed ! that the body of a man of rank, richly ; dressed, had been found near tbe wa j ter front she became hysterical and, with a strange premonition of evil, de clared that it was tbe king. No de ! seription of the body had been given i and members of the suite ridiculed the j idea that the body found almost at the j entrance of the docks was that of ; their sovereign. The body had been carried to a pub. I lie hospital ward, and after life was [ declared extinct a search revealed doc uments identifying it as that ot Count Kronberg. This, although the local authorities did not know it. was one of the king's titles and was adopted by him as an incognito. The instant that the queen entered tbe barely furnished ward she recog nized the corpse as that of her hus band. and in a paroxysm of grief threw herself across the cot on which the body lay. Physicians hastened to her side and she was led. sobbing, from the room. Restoratives were applied and when she became more calm' she ordered that the body be removed to the Ham burg Hof hotel with all possible dis patch. Great Britain in Mourning. London.

His act caused great excitement on board the boat, which was carrying a number of passengers from an incoming western train. Women screamed and manv thought there had been a collision. A boat was lowever and attempt made to find the body. “ONE MILLION LEAGUE FOR MANITOBA.” The purposes of the “Million for Manitoba League" are set out in the fact that Manitoba wants more peo ple. Today the population is less than five hundred thousand, and the de termination oMhe representative men of the Province to devote their best energies to increasing this to a mil lion is a worthy one. There is already a widespread interest in every munic ipality; committees are appointed, whose duties are .*> secure such a thorough knowledge of local condi tions that, whether the applicant for information be a laborer for the farm, a would-be tenant, a probable horae^ ! steader, the buyer of a small improved | iarm or the purchaser of a large tract j for colonizing farmers, the informa tion is at hand. free. The advantages that Manitoba pos sesses are many, and with the ex I ploitation that will be given them by the birth of this new acquisition to the settlement and immigration prop aganda that is being carried on by the Dominion Government, there is no doubt that the establishment of the bureau will very soon bring about the results looked for. Manitoba is prac tically the gateway of the great grain belt of the West. Its farm lands have demonstrated time and again that they have a yielding value that practically makes them worth over one hundred dollars per acre. Added to the yielding value of the land, there is an increased value on account of its nearness to markets, and the mat ; ter of freight rates is carefully con sidered by the cautious buyer. But the information more valuable to the incoming settler is that it still has an immense amount of vacant fertile land open for homesteads. This dispels the idea that free homesteads in Manitoba I are about exhausted. In addition to ! this, the territory recently added to "HI up a UUIIif* steading area which when filled should fully satisfy the “Million for Manitoba League.” Within the old boundaries there is an area of 47.360, 000 acres, less than six million acres of the 16*4 mfllicn acres occupied be ing under cultivation. At present there are over 20 million acres of available land capable of being put under the plough. If in every one of the 193.000 vacant Quarter sections of the Prov ince an average family of four persons were placed, there would be added a rural population of nearly 800,000. So there is room for additional hundreds of thousands on the forms of Mani toba. without any possibility of con gestion. The population per mile in Iowa is 39.4. in Minnesota it is 23.5. That in Manitoba is only 7.1. A glance at the map. copies of which will be forwarded upon application to any Canadian Government Agent, shows that Manitoba is wonderfully well supplied with railways. There are but few farms that are mere than ten or twelve miles from a railway line: elevators are convenient, and markets are always good. The grow ing of grain, while a big feature in the inducements held out, is well re enforced by the great possibilities that . exist in all portions of the Province, ‘ for the raising of stock, for dairying, for hogs, and for a successful class of mixed farming, and what gives addi tional interest is the fact that there is so much laud in the Province open ; for free homesteading that improved j farms in almost all of the 98 munici palities can be purchased at very low , figures. Many of the owners of these have made sufficient upon which to re | tire and are becoming residents of the cities. In addition to the export mar ket for the produce of the farm, Man itoba has a number of large cities and towns providing a splendid local mar ket. Truck and garden fanning are ; highly profitable branches. Winnipeg is a city bordering on 200.000. Bran don is a splendid centre. Portage la Prairie is the huh of an excellent dis trict, and Torkton. Minnedosa. Dau phin, Morden, Manitou and a dozen other towns are important help as con sumers. The Dominion and Provincial immi gration officials are working in strong sympathy with the "Million for Mani toba League.” and in addition to the general literature seat out by the Gov ernment, the League has prepared pamphlets giving useful and concise information, which on addressing the Secretary. Million League, Winnipeg, Manitoba, will be forwarded free. Even when a bill collector finds a man in be is apt to find him out.
