Canada at th
Chicago Land S low
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT EX
HIBIT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES , VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.
'A carload of grain in straw , grasses
jmd other of the products of Western
jCanada arrived at Chicago the other
jday , and Is now installed in the
( Coliseum , where the United States
iland and irrigation exposition is under
jfrray. Those who are interested In.
the "Back to the land movement" will
find in the Canadian , exhibit one of
the best displays of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre
sentative men there , who will be
pleased to give the fullest Information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
rcountry and most of the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi
dents of the United States who have
jtaken advantage of the homestead
lands of Manitoba , Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
Ta great deal of attention , and some
Jmarvelous potatoes , carrots , turnips ,
( Cabbage and cauliflower are shown.
It is true that the homestead area
Is being rapidly taken up and the
( bulk of that now to be had lies north
tof the Saskatchewan river in a por-
'tion ' of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is a large quan-
tlty of open prairie interspersed by
{ beautiful groves of poplar and willow.
Water Is in abundance , hay Is plenti
ful and consequently fodder for anl-
"mals Is right at hand. Those who
tave taken advantage of farming In
these districts and watched the efforts
of those In the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage of their
brother , who Is not able to secure fuel
and the other conveniences of the
lark district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good , and some won
derful crop yields of wheat , oats and
: barley are recorded. The Canadian
'Government , tinder whose auspices
ithe exhibit spoken of is being made ,
\Is \ preparing reports on crops In the '
different Western Canada districts ,
and while these will not be ready for
'distribution at the land show com
mencing on the 18th of November
'and closing on Dec. 8th , application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to
iyou as soon as thev are published.

ALL OVER NEBRASKA.
Farmer Fatally Burned.
Johnson County. Ind Webber , a far
mer residing two miles east of Ster

Burr , on his way home , had an ex
plosion of some kind in his wagon.
Some men passing saw him tearing off
his clothing and th'rowing blazing ma
terial from his wagon. They found that
the man was fatally burned , yet he
still clung to the lines and drove his
team along as ff nothing had hap
pened. His breast , face and hands
were badly burned and all of the hair
was missing from his head. He was
taken to his home. It is thought he
was taking home some powder and a
spark from his pipe set it off. Physi
cians give no hope for his recovery.
Beet Sugar Interests.
Scottsbluff County. The Scottsbluff
Sugar company made its first payment
for beets , amounting to $348,000. This

mill 2,700 sacks of sugar. The mill is
daily putting out about half a million
pounds of sweetness. It is ] estimated
that the sugar campaign will continue
about seventy-five days more. Feed
ing , incident to the beet crop , has
assumed proportions far in excess of

and 50,000 sheep are being fed in the
valley. Alfalfa is bringing $6.50 in the
stack and other feed equally high.

Sarah Spricker , a widow residing at

the contents of a bottle of carbolic
acid , and in five minutes was a corpse.
The daughter was a school teacher
and was about 33 years of age.
Principal Deserts Her School.

Prejudice Is a
Serious Menace
Prejudice Is a hard thing : to overcome ,
but where health is at stake and the
opinion of thousands of reliable people
differs from yours , prejudice then be
comes your menace and you ought to
lay It aside. This Is said In the inter
est of people suffering from chronic
constipation , and It Is worthy of their
attention.
In the opinion of lesions of reliable
American people the most stubborn
constipation imaginable can be cured
by a brief use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. You may not have heard of It
before , but do not doubt Its merits on
that account , or because it has not been
blatantly advertised. It has sold very
successfully on word of mouth recom
mendation. Parents are giving It to
their children today who were given it
by their parents , and It has been truth
fully said that more druggists use It
personally in their families than any
other laxative.
Letters recently received from Mr.
E. M. Connelly , Genoa Jet , WIs. ,
and Mrs. E. Belch , Hatfleld. TVis. ,
are but a few of thousands showIng -
Ing the esteem in which Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin is held. It Is mild ,
gentle , non-griping not violent , like
salts or cathartics. It cures gradually
and pleasantly so that In time nature
again does Its own work without out
side aid. Constipated people owe it to
themselves to use this grand bowel
specific.
Anyone wishing to make a trial of this
remedy before buying It In the regular
way of a druggist at fifty cents or one
dollar a large bottle ( family size ) can
have a sample bottle sent to the home
free of charge by simply addressing Dr.
W. B. Caldwell , 201 Washington St ,

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Four years ago I had places break
out'on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells , and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began , my wrist and shin itched like
poison. I would scratch those places
until they would bleed before I could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over , and the flesh un
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep ,
and -would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced It "dry
eczema. " I used an ointment which
the doctor gave me , but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cutl-
cura Remedies. As this trouble has
been In our family for years , and is
considered hereditary , I felt anxious
to try to head it off. I got the Cuti-
cura Soap , Ointment and Pills , and
they seemed to be just what I needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until I got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest.
Prom the time the eczema healed four
years ago , until now , I have never felt
any of its pest , and I am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. I always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet , and I hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
u Je the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. "
