We believe we have the largest number of elevat- ors in Manitoba owned by any nettling company, or p;ivatB individual, and are welt posted, not only in reference to nfoniloba, but the Territories, and the are somewhat astonished at some of tbe repots that are given out in reference to this year's crop. We es- timate the crop of Manitoba and the Territories at - 81,500,050 bushels; de- duct from this 4,500,000 for seed and home consumption, and there is a sur- plus of export., either in the shape of wheat or flour, of 27,000,000 bushels. We are under the impression that there will not be over twenty per cent, No. 1 hard." Mr. Meighen said he considered the damage to the mop would be serious. There was still a very large quantity of the wheat in stook, but he believed the, wheatin stock was in better con- dition Gamesome of the wheat that has been slacked, Not over 8,000,000 bush- els, he estimated, had bean thrashed before any damage was done. Tho price paid to farmer's at country points on Saturday wns 62 to 03 cents, while the price paid at Neoho on the Ameri- can side of the ling on the same day was 56 to 59 cents, so that the Mani- toba farmer is receiving a higher price for his wheat. Mr Meighen add- ed that he took no stook in an estim- ate of 42 000,000 bushels, and he was satisfied that results would prove the correctness of his opinion. The damage to the wheat orop caused by weather conditions he estinntted at twenty per cent. HANGED BEFORE THE PEOPLE, Seven ,liussnitnans In the Islnnd or Crete Pay Ike Death Penalty. A despatch from Candia, Island of Crete, says:—Seven 14Lusaulmans who were tried and convicted of the mur- der of British soldiers during the re- cent outbreak here were hanged on Monday. The gallows was erected on a hill that could be viewed from the whole sound. Expecting that there would be trou- ble, the British commander had all the British troops and sailors under arms. The seven murderers were escorted ashore from the warships, and the bugles sounded "lights out" before the drop fell. The soldiers were obliged to repress a horde of shrieking women. The bodies were left hanging, as an objeot lesson to the populace, who were tre- mendously impressed by the execution, FED HIM GROUND GLASS. Woman Charged With Murdering Her Hos. band This Way.

For the past six months men who have nerved their Lime In the Royal navy have received most flattering and tempting offers from certain agents in this country to go to the assistance of China, who, it will be recollected, has three warships on the stooks at the present lime. They are on the stocks, but the ex- perieueed man 10 Hurn them are tvaut- ing., and apparently the Chinese Gov- ernment could fix upon no other choice than the ItInglish navy as a pouching ground. Investigations show that exception- ally high wages are offered to all those men who care to accept service for three years, together with free passages both to and from China. The men who have responded to Lha adver- tisement have been told that they will have the "sole charge of gunnery bat- teries," and will be expected to bring the natives up to a state of training which tt'il1 enable them to "cope with European soldiers ar sailors." But Messrs. Thomas Atkins and Jack Tar are not being permitted to forget their duty to the sState, and also au officious body, by an Act of Parliament called the Foreign Enlist- ment Act, not only oontrols the ex- portation of arms and ammunition to a foreign country in times of war, but also looks after those men who have bean educated in the seorets of war at the cost of the ratepayers. That being so, the attention of the War Of - floe and the Admiralty is drawn to these tempting announcements, with the result that the police were con- sulted and effectual steps taken to prevent men leaving this country for China under agreement: with the Gov- ernment of that country. A GREAT REFORM. New Zealand's Old Age Pension Bill Has Be. come Law. A despatch from Wellington, N. Z., says: -After eleven days' discussion in committee, the OLd-Ago Pension bill has been passed on third reading in the house of Representatives by a ma- jority of ten. The bill provides that every person of thef age of 65 and upwards, of good moral character, whose yearly income does not exceed £34, and who has resid- ed for 25 years in the ootonp, will be entitled to a pension of £18 per an- num. In Nein Zealand the poor have hith- erto been relieved almost entirely hy the State, charitable institutions for that purpose doing but a small part of the work. In 1896 a hill vary similar in its provisions to the one in question was introduceSl into the House of Re- presentatives. Tbere it met with de- termined opposition, one amendment providing that everybody of and over the age of 65 years should be entitled to the pension, whether she was in need of assistance ar not. That was a so- cialistic suggestion, that if adopted, would have turned the whole colony into one huge friendly society, Event- ually the bill was thrown out. In the following year afresh hill confining tbe pension to the poor was brought in, and after a terrible wrangle it went throudh its third reading by a majority of 15, only to be thrown out by the Upper House. Still undaunted by failure, the sup- porters of the principle of old -age pen- sions on a discriminating basis brought in a third bill this year, and now, after a desperate struggle for eleven days (which in New Zealand, where speeches of only ten minutes are allowed in committee, is a debate of exceptional severity), the bill has passed its third reacting by the smaller majority of ten. It is expected that 6,500 persons will during the first year draw; the £18, or part of it, and that about £1.00,000 will be so expended. So far there is no mention of additional taxation in con- nection with the soheme. NORWAY REQUIRES APPLES. Canadian Agent Calls This to the Attention. of chippers.

Then, as the trouble kept growing, I woe getting weaker, and began losing flesh and strength rapidly. My stomach refused to retain food of any kind. During all this time I was under medical treatment, and took everything prescribed, but without relief. Just about when my condition seemed most hopeless, I heard of a wonderful euro effected in a Daae somewhat similar to mitre, by the Great South AmerioanNervine Tonic, and I finally tried that. On the first day of its use I began to feel that it was doing what no other medioine had done. The first dose relieved the distress completely. Before night I actually felt hungry and ate with an appetite such as I had not known for months. I began to pick up in strength with surprising rapidity, slept well nights, and before I knew it I was eating three square mettle regularly every day, with as much relish as ever. I have no hesitation whatever in saying that the South American Nervine Tonic cured mo when all other remedies failed. I have recovered my old weight—over 200 pounds—and never felt better in my life." Mr. Frank Baner's experience is that of all others who have used the South American Nervine Tonic.
