Minnesota alone < produces approxi­ mately about 80,000,000 bushels of wheat, or about one-thirty-seventh of the total production of the world. Of this she is able to export two-thirds. Of the Dakotas, not having begun to reach their limit of productiveness, North Da­ kota raised in 1898 55,000,000 bushels and South Dakota 42,000,000. Oregon produced 24,000,000 bushels. Modern farming methods in the north­ west challenge the admiration of the world. Steam and electricity are made to serve the farmer's purpose, says the Review of the Reviews. He plows, reaps, thrashes by machinery. He tele­ phones from his farmhouse to his gran­ aries. Sometimes he receives the latest grain quotations over a private telegraph wire in his dwelling. Often the acreage of his farm is expressed in the thous­ ands, sometimes in five figures. He comes from the poor places of the earth and finds a home and self-respect. He sends his products to Europe, Asia, Japan, even China. He furnishes a traffic that provides work for tens of thousands of employes of transportation lines. He keeps a procession of grain ships moving to the Sault Ste. Marie canal, which makes the "Soo" rank ahead of the far-famed Suez in point of tonnage. Moreover, he is furnishing bone and sinew for this great country of ours which cannot be expressed in fig­ ures. Hotel Arrival)). The following were at the Riverside during the past week, K. A.

Mr. Sullivan and the ever present Father Hugh O'Gara McShane. Mr. Flusky was then taken to the Alexian Bros, hospital, with orders no t to be allowed to leave without per­ mission of the Rev. James F. Clancy. Mr. Flusky died in this hospital in December. 1894. The title to the Gates i farm is now being tested in the Supreme Court on a writ of error from McHenry county, James F. Clancy, plaintiff in error vs. John J. Flusky, defendent in error, and only, heir at law. s to the title to the Kittle farm it is in Thomas Burke, with a title as solid as the rock of ages. It was sold by order of the probate court of McHenry county which had full jurisdiction of the subject matter and of the defend­ ants, of whom Patrick Flusky was one, and under the^e conditions it is the un­ bending rule of law that a purchaser is protected, so our supreme court says in many decisions. Thus Mr. Clancy has obtained from this feeble minded and childish old man. deeds to four hundred acres of land, at least one thousand dollars in money and for which the old man re­ ceived nothing in return unless it be a promise of "a mansion on high where rust does not corrupt nor thieves break through and steal."

Li Hung Chang at Shanghai showed message saying movement on foot to get legislations to Tien Tsin under guard. Said China had. no money for indemnities, and pr< muse of future good government should suffice for powers. Decided to await news from Pekin and countermanded order for Black Flags to march to capital. Officials distrust him.

Law- ton amounted to about $100,000. In ad­ dition congress granted her a liberal pension. Th« pay of a major-general in time of war is $9,575 per year, while a private gets the princely stipend of $186 Therefore Gen. Lawton's salary for one week was as much as the private's for one year! Hardly a fair divide in this game of patriotism, where both "die to uphold the flag and extend our trade! Creamery Statement for June.

CORSETS MAKE A man's success in life is usually in proportion to his confidence in himself and the energy and persistence with which he pursues his aim. In this com­ peting age there is little hope for the man who does not thoroughly believe in himself. The man who can be easily discouraged or turned aside from his purpose, the man who has no iron in his blood, will never win. Half the giant's strength is in the con­ viction that he is a giant. The strength of a muscle is enhanced a hundredfold by the will power. The same muscle, when removed from the giant's arm, when divorced from the force of the mighty will, can sustain but a fraction of the weight it did a moment before it was disconnected. If you would succeed up to the limit of your possibilities, hold constantly to the belief that you are success organized, and that you will be successful, no matter what opposes. Never allow a shadow of doubt to enter your mind that the Creator intended you to win in life's battle. Regard every suggestion that your life may be a failure, that you are not made like those who succeed, and that success is not for you; as a traitor and expel it from your mind as you would a thief from your house. Oh, what miracle's confidence has wrought! What impossible deeds it has helped to perform! It took Napoleon over the Alps in midwinter; it took Far- ragut and Dewey past the cannons, tor­ pedoes and mines of the enemy; it led Nelson and Grant to victory; it has been the great tonic in the world of dis­ covery, invention and art; it has helped to win the thousand triumphs in war and science which were deemed im­ possible. A man's greatest enimies are his doubts. Resolutely refuse to surround yourself with an §xmy of doubts, fears and anxieties. Vigorously dispel these foes of your success and happiness, or they will undermine your future. Be firmly convinced that you were made in the image perfection, designed for suc­ cess and happiness, and that you have the power to strangle the evils which would thwart you. Never admit defeat or poverty, though you seem to be down, and have not a cent. Stoutly assert your divine right to be a man. to hold your head up and look the world in the faae; step bravely to the front whatever opposes, and the world will make way for you. No one will insist upon your rights while you yourself doubt that yot/have any. Hold firmly to the conviction that you possess the qualities requsite for success. Never allow yourself to be a traitor to your own cause by undermining your self- confidence. There never was a time before when persistent, original force was so much in demand as now. The little namby- pamby, nerveless man has little show in the hustling, bustling world of today. In the twentieth century a man must either push or be pushed. Every one admit es the man who can assert his rights, and has the power to demand and take them if denied him. No one can respect the man who slinks in the rear and apologizes for being in the world. Negative virtues are of no use in winning one's way. It is the positive man, the man with original energy and push that forges to the front. The man without self confidence and an iron will is the plaything of chance, the puppet of his environment, the slave of circumstances. With these, he. is king, ever master of the situation. "There is no fault or folly of my life which does not rise up against me, and take away my joy and shorten my power of poKHes-ii.n, of sight, of understanding. And every past effort of my life, every gleam of righteousness or good in it, is with me now, to help me in my grasp of this art andjits vision. --RUSKIN. --Success.
