A Successful Farmer.
Within three miles of the town, going eastward, Is the farm of Mr. W. Creamer, one of the municipality’s largest and most prosperous mixed farmers. Mr. Creamer came to this country in 1880 and settled on a portion of the land which comprises his present enormous farm of 1,280 acres. In common with, many'“Others of * similar period he experienced all the hardships and difficulties common to the absence of railway and market facilities. In nowise daunted, by energy, Industry and indomitable will ha has been able to surmount all obstacles and has achieved an unparalleled success, and is known throughout the district as ope of its pre-eminent farmers. His operations extend over 1,280 acres, two sections (the thought alone of so much land makes the Eastern farmer dizzy); 800 acres of this is broken and the remainder is excellent posture land and wood. This harvest be took off a crop of 500 acres of wheat and 200 of other grains. Four hundred acres are plowed and ready for wheat next spring. Mr. Creamer is, as has been stated, a mixed farmer of no mean proportions, having at the present time 40 horses, 60 head of cattle and 50 pigs. The most modern farm buildings are found on his premises, the main building being a barn 55 feet square on a stone foundation, containing stabling for 10 horses and a large number of cattle. The loft is stored with 20 loads of sheaf oats for feed and tons of hay; there is also a cutting box. Another building of large dimensions Is the granary, in which, after teaming large quantities to market, he still has stored 8,000 bushels of wheat. A crushing machine Is in the building. There are a number of lesser buildings containing chicken house, pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm residence is a handsome frame structure of ample proportions, in connection with it is a wood shed. The water supply Is unexcelled; besides house supply there is a well In the stables and a never failing spring situated tn a bluff, which never freezes. Surrounded by a thick bluff of poplars, extending in a semi-circle 'to the west, north and east, the winter storms are broken and accumulation of snow unknown. Added to his farming operations, Mr. Creamer conducts a threshing optfit for the season. His success is an instance of what can be accomplished in Western Canada.— Baldur (Man.) Gazette, Nov. 16, 1890. Thousands of settlers are going from the United States to take advantage of the free homestead lands that are being offered by the Canadian Government

PORTO RICO TARIFF.
OXNARD BILL IS PASSED BY THE HOUSE. Vote Stands 101 for Concurrence to 153 Against-Debate Limited to Four Honrs, and Amendments Are Not Read. The national House of Representatives on Wednesday afternoon completed its record on the Porto Rican tariff bill by concurring in ail the Senate amendiuents. The final vote was 161 in favor of the bill and 153 against it, with eleven members present and not voting. There were nine Republicans who refused to vote for the bill but voted against it. They were: Lorimer of Illinois, Warner of Illinois, Cruinpacker of Indiana, Lane of lowa, Henry C. Smith of Michigan, Fletcher of Minnesota, HeaWole of Minnesota, Littlefield of Maine, McCall of Massachusetts. These nine wiped out the Republican majority of eighteen in the House by voting against the party. The majority for the bill was made up of Democratic votes. Had all the Democrats voted against the hijl, the nine Republican votes that went ajkainst it would have caused the vote to break even. The Republican leaders secured, by one vote, the adoption of a rule allowing four hours’ debate on the motion to concur in all the Senate amendments. The result was the adoption by the House of a civil government bill for Porto Rico, which was not read in its entirety In the House. The contest over the bill began with the session of Wednesday. The committee on rules brought in a rule limiting the debate to four hours and fixing the time for the final vote on the motion to concur at 5 o'clock. There was forty minutes’ debate allowed on the adoption of this rule. There was bad temper evident on both sides of the chamber in the beginning, and intemperate language was used by the leaders on both sides. The rule was then submitted and was adopted by a vote of 158 to 142. Eight Republicans voted against it. They were Littlefield, McCall, Crumpacker, Lorimer, Warner, Heatwole, Lane and H. C. Smith. Mr. Fletcher of Minnesota voted for the rule, but afterward voted against the bill. Announcement of the result was greeted with applause,, and the House then settled down to the debate upon the bill. Speeches in favor of the bill were made by Messrs. Watson of Indiana, Hopkins of Illinois, Dolliver of lowa and Chairman Payne. Its passage was opposed by Congressmen Lorimer, Warner of Illinois, Crumpacker of Indiana. McCall of Massachusetts and H. C. Smith of Michigan.
BOTHA SUCCEEDS JOUBERT.
New Commander of the Boers Is a Good Soldier. Gen. Louis Botha, the ablest by far of the Boer generals, is the new com-mander-in-ehief Of the Boer army, succeeding the late Gen. Joubert. Botha is a brilliant whiter and an able strategist. He was at Swartkop and Spion kop when Buller crossed the Tugela. He was in front of Ladysmith and Botha was fighting with a cunning which the conservative correspondents present say was unsurpassable. He covered the zone

of tire in front of his lines with English dead and wounded, and he brought off his gnus and men every time a retreat or change of base was necessary. There are many other able soldiers among the Boers. Commandant Olivier performed a brilliant feat in landing his army of 5,000 men and a wagon train, twenty-five miles long, between the British lines and the Basutoland border, without losing a gun, a wagon or a man, although the British cavalry was scouting all over in an endeavor to reach his fines and cut off his retreat. That was strategy of a high order and military critics regard the,retreat as one of the most masterly oai record. Tom Kelly is another strong commander. He ranks among the first, although little heard of yet. He is in charge of the ZoutpanslH-rg department, nud has 20.000 Kaffirs under him. He ia a rampant Boer agitator and as fond of fighting as a Matabele warrior. Then there are Gens. Hmet, BchaikBurger. Helarey. Franc Joubert, son of the dead commander-iu-chief, Henning Prctoriua, Meyer and a host of others, all it whom have already distinguished themselves. Beaidea there are many French, Rnatdan and (lennan officers, who are able strategists and artillerists.

BROKE HIS WIFE
Of ths Habit of Going Through His Clothes. “I say, old man,’* aald Dodson, as he loaned his friend Blobson a nickel to pay his car fare, “why don’t you try my scheme?” “What scheme?” growled Blobson, as he mentally tried to figure out how anuch his wife had realized In her midnight raid. “Why, a scheme to break your wife Of going through your pockets when you are asleep!” 1 "I say, old man!” cried Blobson, eagerly, “if you have any scheme by which I can break my wife of going through me, for heaven's sake put me on to it, and I am your friend for life!” “Well, you see, I used to suffer from this thing until I discovered means by which I broke my wife of the habit I gathered together all the counterfeit money-that I had accumulated in 20 years of business and filled my pockets with It. The next morning I discovered that it was gone. That same day my wife went shopping and was arrested for passing counterfeit money. It looked very black for her when they found the rest of the stuff that she had, and she was just ready to faint when I arrived on the scene. Of course, I played the Indignant husband, and threatened to sue the whole outfit for damages. But the scheme worked. Since then the only thing my wife will accept is a check.”—Detroit Free Press.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; Bine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. Which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any ease of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Hits Worst Offense.
When it was proposed to lessen the list of crimes punished by death, Lord Eldon objected to the noose being banished in cases of petty sbop-llfting. “The small shopkeepers will be ruined by this exemption,” said the old Tory Lord Chancellor. Another Tory, a judge, so.venertited the sovereign that he Included In his regard any article belonging to the king, no matter how far removed from actual possession. A tailor had been condemned for the murder of a soldier, and the judge tacked on this addition to the sentence of death: “And not only did you murder him, but you did thrust, or push, or pierce, or project, or propel the lethal weapon through the belly-band of bls breeches, which were his majesty's!"

New York harbor has about 400 tugboats and the average run Is about S3O a day.
