SMITH, PRESIDENT CENTRAL NEWSPAPER UNION, DAVEN- PORT, IOWA, SHORT $50,000 TRUST FUNDS COST NEARLY $30,000 TRYING TO ESTABLISH A READY-PRINT HOUSE IN DAVENPORT. Davenport, Iowa, May 1.State- ments and old papers filed for record with the recorder of Scott county show Samuel F. Smith, ex-mayor of Daven- port, trustee of Davenport Carnegie library, publisher of the Daily Repub- ican and son of the author of “Amer- éca,” short in his accounts with trust funds of $50,000. Smith signed over to W. C. Putnam and A. W. Vanderveer all of his property in Davenport, in- cluding stocks in local companies and real estate. Mr. Smith has long held the confi- dence of the people. His residence is ¢he finest in the city. Mr. Smith, it is asserted, ruined Himself financially in an unfortunate venture in ‘the ready-print business. He financed a concern called the Cen- tral Newspaper union, of which J. X. Brands was business manager. ‘The business of this institution was the furnishing of ready-printed skeets tc country newspapers, and it proved to be a heavy financial burden to Mr. Smith during the three years he was connected with it. Mr. Smith admits that at the time he disposed of his in- terest in the concern his total loss by reason of this unfortunate specula- tion was about $20,000. Not until ab- solute ruin stared him in the face apparently did he awaken to the pain- ful realization that the business was a colossal failure beyond even the re motest hope of ever being made a success financially or otherwise. Smith is fll, his daughter is in a hos- pital and his wife nearly heart-broken. Smith has made a full confession. JURY CALLS IT MURDER. Says Nels Olson Was Poisoned by Persons Unknown.

The returns of the Interior Depart- ment show that the movement of American farmers northward to Can- ada is each month affecting larger areas of the United States. Time was, says the Winnipeg Free Press, when the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur- nished the Dominion with the main bulk of its American contingent. Last year, however, forty-four states and districts were represented in the of- ficial statement as to the former resi- dence of Americans who had home- steaded in Canada. The Dakotas stiil head the list, with 4,006 entries, Min- nesota being a close second with 3,387, but with the exception of Alabama and Mississippi and Delaware every state in the Union supplied settlers who, in order to secure farms in the fertile prairie country of Canada, be- came citizens of and took the oath o° allegiance to, the Dominion. Last year no less than 11,841 Americans entered for homestead lands in Can- ada. From the Gulf to the Boundary, and from ocean to ocean, the trek to the Dominion goes on. Not only the wheatgrowers of the central Missis- sippi valley, but the ranchers of Texas and New Mexico, and the cultivators of the comparatively virgin soil of Oklahoma, are pouring towards the productive vacant lands of the Cana- dian Northwest. It is no tentative, half-hearted departure for an alien country that is manifested in this exodus; it has become almost a rush to secure possession of land which it is feared by those imperfectly ac- quainted with the vast area of Can- ada’s vacant lands, may all be acquir- ed before they arrive. There is no element of speculation or experiment in the migration. The settlers have full information respecting the soil, wealth, the farming methods, the laws, taxation and system of govern- ment of the courtry to which they are moving, and they realize that the opportunities offered in Canada aro in every respect better and greater than those they have enjoyed in the land they are leaving. Canada can well afford to welcome cordially every american farmer com- ing to the Dominion. There is no question but that these immigrants make the most desirable settlers ob- tainable for the development of the prairie portion of the Dominion. Full information can be had from any au- thorized Canadian government agent whose address will be found else where in this paper. How It Happened. “So Speedsmash’s automobile saved his life the other day?” said Jones. “Yes; it ran over a cliff into the bay with him. Just as it jumped a wheel came off, and Speedsmash’s head was driven through the spokes.

Frisco, Utah, May 2nd.—There {fs a j; great deal of Rheumatism in this and neighboring states, and this painful disease has crippled many a strong man and woman among an otherwise healthy people. Recently, however, there has been introduced into Utah a remedy for Rheumatism which bids fair to stamp out this awfully painful complaint. The name of this new remedy is Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and it has al- ready wrought some wonderful cures. Right here in Frisco there is a case of a Mr. Grace who had Rheumatism so bad in his feet that he could hardly walk. He tried many remedies in vain, but Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured him. “His wife says: “We both had Kid- ney Trouble, and my husband had the Rheumatism so bad that he could hardly walk. We used Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills with much benefit. We have tried many remedies, but none have done us so much good as Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills.” Similar reports come from all over the state, and it would seem as if Rheumatism had at last been con- quered.
