No quarter ie being ehown the blood thirsty Chinese rietera who 'ruthlessly murdered the missionaries a short time ago, and already seventy-six have paid the death penalty, with more to follow. This act of the Government should teaoh the insubordinates that human life :can- not be trifled with and law abiding citi, Ws cruelly sacrificed. Is is not generally known that at lust session of the Legislature an act was passed, which is now in force, providing that when the husband. dies without a will with property less than $1000, every. thing goes to hie widow. Where he dies With more than $1,000 in the administra- tion the widow will gat $1,000 anyway. Thus a widow will: no longer be made to suffer through her bueband's carelessness in not making a will. Tote Regina Leader joins in the de• mend that Parliament shall buy book the alternate sections of land which have been granted to the railway companies. Remember, it says, "these evils must .be removed before the Northwest can pros- per. Here we are trying to make the desert blossom, and more than half of every township a practically law -enforced desert. The loneliness is awful, especi- ally for women." The leopard has changed bis spots in the Leader offioe. MANITOBA is not only a sturdy competi- tor with the older Provinces as a wheat producer, but of late years her best farm- ers are working into stook raising and as a result the shipments of cattle this year from that section amount to over 85,000 head. The Prairie Provinoeshould'make the cattle trade hum, as they have both the pasturage and grain in .abundanoe. Freight rates will continue to be the safety valve through which the dealers will avert a rush of blood to the head by suddenly blooming into millionaires. We befieve it is folly on the part of any Government to leave vacant offices unfilled any longer than a few weeks, as the longer the powers-that•behesitate the surer they are of creating discord and dissention. Various examples of this might be given, but one will suffice, viz. : Montreal, where for the past three years there bas been no Collector of Coetoms. We notice that the Board of Trade in that city has taken the matter in hand and is urging the Government to make an appointment at once. WHATEVER. may be said for or against Sir Wilfrid Laurier, one thing is pertain no politioian in the history of the Domin- ion has ever been so royally received and welcomed while campaigning so far from election exoitement. Hie addressee are eloquent, moderate in tone yet pronounc- ed on the leading questions of public) in- terest. Saturday evening of this week he will be met at the Toronto depot and escorted to the residence of Mr. Blalock, M. P., by a torchlight procession and brass bands Whether aoknowledged or not Mr. Laurier's star is in the ascendant and everything points to him being the next Premier of this Dominion. TORN TO PIECES BY A. BEAR. A thrilling story of an encounter with a bear in which a boy lost his life, oomes from Gorman's station, 60 miles south- west of Bakersfield, in the mountains on the border of the Mojave desert. Two boys, whose names are not given, left Gorman's station one morning recent. ly for a day's bunting. While travel- ling along the foot hills in their search for game they oame suddenly upon a large grizzly bear. Acting upon the impulse of the moment, both raised their gnus and fired. The shots were well aimed but were only effective in infuri. sting the bear, which immediately start. ed in pursuit of the boys. Becoming dismayed by the ineffectiveness of their weapons, the nerve of the young hunters deserted them, and they started off on a run, closely followed by the angry brute. One lad, dropping his gun, succeeded " in reaching and climbing a tree, where, safe from attack, he was oompellod to witness the awful sight of his comrade's death. His oompaoion was leas forbun. ate in evading the pursuer, being es. closely pressed that he was finally com- pelled to dodge around a convenient rook, followed by'tho bear. Twice he circled the boulder in a vain endeavor to save himself, but his powers of endurance were not equal to those of his pursuer, At length, when he could go no further, a stroke of the grizzly's paw stretched biro on the ground. Springing upon him the bear rapidly tore him to pieces, tie terrified companion in the tree gazing in horror upon the awful epeetaole, bob un. able to render any assistance.

John Swan & Sons Edinburgh, in their weekly report of Oct. 10th say :- Supplies of fat cattle have been moderate all over. Owing to the excessively 'hot weather in the early part of the week and the bad state of the meat markets, buyers operated with caution, and trade was slow except .for the very best class of home oattle,whioh made about last week's prices. Fat sheep and lambs have been shown in much smaller numbers, and they have made rather more money. Fat calves met a good trade ab fully more money, but owing to the warm weather, pigs made decidedly less money. At the various store cattle markets this week there has been a fair demand, and an en. tire clearance made. The store sheep markets have been very brisk, and for wethers and ewes an average rise of about 4s a bead has been obtained. The number of States and Canadian cattle generally being lighter, these have made more money. Milk cows were shown in about the same numbers as last week, and met. a decidedly better trader Best beef, 8s to 8s 6d per stone ; best mutton, 7445 to 85 per lb. Toaonro, Oox. 15th -Receipts were heavy to -day at the cattle market, and buying was fairly active, bot yet a guars. tity of poor cattle remained unsold. Buy- ing of stockers and bulls was about the best trade of the day. Hogs were steady, except for stores. There was hardly any buying for export. There were 82 oar loads of stuff in today, which included 2,813 sheep and lambs, 1,700 hogs, 19 calves. In export cattle barely any trade was done. Ono carload was held for 344o per pound, but remained unsold at the close. In butchers' cattle the trade was fair for good cattle, but these were hard to get. The ruling figures were as fol- lows :-Good tp choice, filo to 3$a per pound ; medium, 2410 to 3o per pound; common, leo to 2ao per pound. One buyer bought 47 bead for less than 20 per pound. Another buyer got 20 bead of. the best bulls for export, paying from 80 to Bac per pound. The market was about steady. Stock bulls were rather quiet, at from no to 24e per pound, and must be good to bring the latter figure. Quite a few light stockers are being picked up to send to the Northwest ranches, but prices in some planes are not very re- munerating -20 to 244o'per pound. There is also a good demand for feeders for the distillery buyers. About the top figure was 8440 per pound, paid for some. Extra :choice feeders were from 24o bo 8o per pound. Export sheep were quieter, drop- ping to 344o to 8$;a per pound. Demand was not so good. Bucks brought from 2io to 2$0 per pound, and are not wanted.. Lambe were steady, at 8o per pound. Good to Melee veals fetch from $4' to 416.50 par head. Commonto medium sell slowly, at from $2. to $4 eaoh. All miloh cows and springers in sold, and the mar• kat held its own at from $20 to $88 and $40 -the latter for extra choice big. bagged cows. Burglaries are reported in many parte of the Province.
