END OF JOURNEY & (Continued from page 1.) j day we made an hour’s stay at Carberry, a town situated in the midst of a very prosperous country. Land selling arc-und the city for about SSO per acre. The courteous citizens took pleasure in showing us about the city and country, of which they have reason to be proud. At 21:13 (9:30) we arrived in Winnipeg. We had heard so much about this wonderful city every one was ready to leave the train as soon as it pulled into the station. We were surprised and delighted as we entered the Royal Alexandria, built by the C. P. R. So magnificent are its proportions and sumptuous it fittings it would do credit to any city in the world. After our long journey the j luxury of resting in the particularly i fine rotunda, enjoying the easy chairs' and listening to a splendid orchestra made midnight come all too soon. The next morning through the courtesy of a friend, Mr. Sims, of East Liverpool, Ohio, ye editor and his' wife enjoyed a most excellent breakfast in the beautiful grille room. Winnipeg is proud of her great market building and the supplies it affords the city. We can vouch for its excellence. The morning was taken up with a ride around the city. It seems incredible that 37 years ago the land on which this great city is built was open praire. Winnipeg is truly ( the gateway to western Canada, and If you have f .Bowed these letters you 1 will appreciate in a small degree the j vast volume of business that must flow through her doors. Last year 80,000.000 bushels of wheat were in-' spected here. All the wheat from the vast wheat growing country west, i flows in a golden stream to the east, all the manufactured products return in ever increasing volurnn west. Im- < migrants by the thousand daily arrived end are handled, through an almcst perfect system. Winnipeg is fast becoming a manufacturing center as she must to take care of the raw material at her doors. Since she has this raw material and an unlimited market for the manufacturer product it stands to reason she has yet before her a future greater ever, than her past. The schools, colleges, public libraries, churches, hospitals, city and government buildings are much better * than ordinarily found in a city of 125.- > 000 inhabitants. Winnipeg with the' buoyance of youth and confidence born of reason has anticipated the needs of the future. Naturally wel Isituated , at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, with beautiful boulevards, magnificent homes and splendid parks, Winnipeg is an ideal residence city. At noon an elaborate course dinner at the Rcyal Alexandria ended in a blaze Os glory the generous hospitality we had received throughout our two weeks stay in Canada Toasts to the king and president, addresses of welcome and responses, the presentation of me- 1 mentoes (expressions of appreviation of the Association) to Messrs. White and Speers of the Canadian government and our own officials, who had done so much 'for our pleasure and |

comfort for two weeks, and singing of patriotic songs, brought to a close ceremonies which will promote a closer friendship between our northern neighbors and ourselves. During the remaining two hours of our stay most of the ladies inspected the stores, which are large and up to date in the class of goods carried as well as furnishings. We left the "Last Best West” knowing that we had been to a land of promise where any worthy man may come in and possess it. Our return journey to St. Paul was made over the Soo line at Emerson, where we crossed the boundary line into the United States, while the mustoms officials inspected our baggage we all held a jubilation on the little station platform. We did like Canada mighty well, but this was our own our native soil. We pulled into St. Paul I several hours late and the same good people who had made our former istay so delightful were at the station Ito greet us. After breakfasting at the Merchants Hotel we boarded special cars for the state fair grounds. At the entrance we were met by a i band and I suppose I should say es- . corted. but that is a little tco dignified. We followed the band right up the middle of the road. We were out on our vacation and by this time we felt like a lot cf school children ready , to follow the band, ride on the merry go round and drink red lemonade. llt certainly does people a let of good ,to forget dignity and have a joyous ' good time once in a while. “A merry (heart do'eth good like wine.” The editorial building is one of the world’s fair buildings purchased for $35,000. Here we were welcomed and our badges gave us the freedom cf the grounds. The Minnesota state fair Is i a great institution and if you don’t believe the state’s products the equal of any in the union there is one way you can be convinced. In the afternoon automobile races and various other performances took up the time ' until five o’clock, at which time a luncheon was served at one of the eating pavilions. The entertainment lasted until eleven at night. Our train, however, left before that time, so we could not enjoy all that had been provided for us. Surely' St. Paul people are princely entertainers. Their hospitality is unbounded and their methods are perfect. We came di rectly home, having only fifteen minutes in Chicago. In Fort Wayne we ( met the Democratic candidate for governor. Mr. Marshall, who was accom- ' panied 'by his wife. Therefore the very first news cf the campaign we ■had sounded good to Democratic ears, jWe were glad to see the campaign agreeing so well with Mr. Marshall, ; and to know the political physicians had found nothing wrong with his voice. Adams county looked as dry as some people think it will under county local option, but home looked good to us after four weeks of wandering, and goed old Indiana fried .chicken measured up right well to wild duck, etc. As we sat around our own table with the happy healthy faces of our children smiling into ours, we realized more than ever before why men and women will pack all their little belongings and start across the i seas to claim a home such as our own

and the Canadian northwest offers them. We had had cur holiday and we came back ready to give to the readers of the Democrat a broader better happier outlook for another year. Thanking these who have been patient enough to follow me through these lengthy letters, I am Respectfully, Nellie M. Ellingham. LET’S BEGIN TODAY (Continued from page 1.) dard. a 252, a Rcyal Ribbon, N. H. C., Lone Star ct some other real good one. Do not forget that good ten cent cigars are also made in Decatur. — o AT THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH Much Interest is Being Manifested in These Meetings. Meetings are still in progress at the Evangelical church. The presiding elder, Rev. J. Wise, of Fort Wayne preached last evening. He read from Luke 14:18-20 and then spoke of the Inconsistent excuses people are making fcr not being in the church. Said he the Lord has prepared a great feast of good things .for all people, but especially for the people of Decatur at this special time, but with one consent they are making excuses. People argue that to be a Christian too much must be given up, but only those things which are hurtful. The things gained by becoming a Christian shall far surpass in value the things that must be sacrificed. Some say there are too many hypocrites in the church. This cannot be denied, but there are more of them outside the church. Others say I am living as near right as I know how, but Jesus says, "Ye must be born again." An after-service was then held in which many gave expression to a deep spiritual life and also manifested an intense desire to see the unsaved of Decatur brought to Christ. A sweet spirit characterized the enlre service. The presiding elder will preach this evening again at 7:30. Come and enjoy a feast of good things. o READY FOR EXPORT TRADE. C., M. 4 St P. Will Pursue Vigorous Policy Toward Oriental Commerce. Chicago, October 14.—Announcement is made that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pau] railroad intends to engage in the Oriental export and import trade and will pursue a vigorous policy in regard to it. The road will be in a position to accept shipments from the middle west for Japan, China and the Philippines as soon as the coast extension is completed. When the interstate commerce commission issued a ruling that after November 1 the carriers would be required to file tariffs showing the inland proportion of the through rate on import business, most of the transcontinental roads announced that they would abandon the business rather than submit to the ruling. The principal objection was based on the fact that the railroad’s proportion of the through rates on Oriental business was so low as to make unfavorable comparisons with the regular rates for domestic business. —o At three o’clock this afternoon a tele, phone message from the home of Robert B. Allison, reported the major's condition very serious.
