Distress In Dakota, CANADIANS 'TAKE WARNING. The following letter appeared in the Toronto papers of March 24th: - To the Editor: Sir -A few days ago there appeared in your columns a copy of a communi- cation which the writer received from the Relief Committee, Willowtown, South Dakota, appealing to the Board of Trade for help. This letter was submitted to the coun- cil, and -I was instructed to satisfy my- self as tb the correctness of the state- ments made therein. This I have done, and, thanks to the kindness of Mr. W. C. Mathews, manager of Messrs Dun, Wilnan & Co., city, and others, I find that the destitution in the sect- ion above referred to' is all that has been represented, the people not only suffering from the failure of their crops, but also prairie files, having lost nearly everything by 'this latter cause. - Their affliction has certainly been very severe, and their case is a deserving, one, meriting our fulest sympathy and assistance, the more es- pecially as most of the settlers are Canadians from the Province of Ont. Will you permit nle, through your val- uable columns,;to say to the members of the board, and the public generally, that by order of the council, I will be pleased to receive and forward sub- scriptons for the relief of. the .sufferers, I am advised that if relief Is, to be given it should be without dela. . All subscriptions will' be duly acknowledg- ed by Yours, etc., EDGAR A. WILLS, Secretary, Board of Trade. Toronto, March 22. It is understood also that subscrip- tons are to be secured where possible by the city Board of Trade in other Canadian cities. , In view of these facts we feel it to be a duty to warn our readers who propose looking westward for a home, that our Canadian North.' west, the glorious heritage that will make Canada the foremost country of of the America, is the only place to emigrate to if prosperity and comfort are desired. Stay in Canada and pros- per. Go to Dakota and Minnesota and starve. McGillivray Council. Council met pursuant to adjourn.' mens at Town Hall, MeGillivray, 7th April, 1890, present, W. H.

If be has been in the habit of kicking inlsiu- ness, drive him with the rope on time weeks,or until he quits making threats. Some will kick once or twice with ene foot, and bob up and threaten for f,enF- eral days. They should be tickled. or teased,or have a basket or pail thrown under them or tied to a hind foot. •sear- eral times a day to make try and kick, and until they y CeaS •t e any onset in that direction.
