Suffragettes Howl at Them, Who Are Touring in Scotland. A despatch from Dumbarton, Beotland, says: Militant Suffrag- ettes made desparate efforts on Wednesday, to attract the atten- tion of King George and Queen Mary, who are making a tour through Scotland. At Balloch Bridge, at the foot of Loch Lomond, the women cut down all the decora- tions, and at Dalmuir, 10 miles from Glasgow, they managed to break out a huge banner bearing the words, "Your Majesty stop the forcible feeding and torturing of women,'"' across the route as the procession arrived. At the same time one woman armed with a meg- aphone howled denunciations of forcible feeding. Neither the King nor the Queen paid the slightest attention, but the crowd that had gathered to see their Majesties dis- played such a hostile attitude that the militant Suffragettes beat a hasty retreat. a FIVE DAUGHTERS AS BAIT. A Nebraska Farmer Will Give Them For Harvesters. A despatch from Giltner, Neb., says: Ambrose Huntingdon, a farm-+ er, residing west of this town, post- ed the following sign along a high- . way in front of his home: "I need five harvest hands for more than a month. Wages $3 a day; chicken once a day; washing, mending and a bed in the hay mow. Every worthy young man hired will have a chance to marry one of my pretty daughters. If he wins one of them, he gets 160 acres of land thrown in. But he's got to make good in more ways than one." Hunting- ton had more than fifty applicants. The five lucky ones are hard at work in the wheat fields. However, they are far from happy, for it has become known that the five daugh- ters, ranging from eighteen to twenty-six years, are planning to depart for an extended summer va- tation in New England. ret Wii DIED IN THE BUSH. Posses of Provincial Police Ex- change Shots With Him. _ A despatch from Quebec, says: Joseph Moraud, the demented ban- dit, who since he ran amuck with a gun shot three men on Thursday, July '2, has terrorized the village and district of Villeroy, in the County of Lotbiniere, was found dead in a hut in the woods, accord- ing to information received here by Provincial Police Chief Me- Carthy. <1 Minister, in personal communication 5 prominent member of the Opposi- Unionist. party, in order to save the country from civil war, 'recom- mend their followers to support the amending bill as -by the Lords. 2 that case, the Nation- alists will be out-voted, altho they will probably be supported by a certain section of the radical par- ty.

Se in AA ll ll. HOMESTEAD DUTIES. Special Treatment Asked For Some Districts. A despatch from Ottawa, says: Representations have been made to the Interior Department from homesteaders in = Saskatchewan, asking for a relaxation of the home- stead laws in view of hard crops this year. The appeals received so far come from the Maple Creek district, which is usually dry land, and it is claimed that as a result of lack of rain the crops there will be very light. The request is there- fore made that the holders of home- steads be allowed to take two months off in the Fall to engage in outside threshing and other labor, and that these two months be ac- cepted as part of the homestead duties. Reports on the whole in- dicate, however, that the Western wheat crop will be a good one. yy KICKED BY A HORSE. Erasmosa Farmer Killed Within Sight of His Wife. A despatch from Guelph, says: James Patton, a farmer on the sixth line of Erasmosa, not far from Guelph, lost his life in an accident on Wednesday afternoon while at work with a hay rake. Just how the accident occurred probably will never be known. The deceased had taken the horse rake out and was working it in a field not far from the house. The horse became unman- ageable and was causing consider- able trouble. Mr. Patton, it is thought, had got off the rake and was about to unhitch the animal when he was kicked in the groin. His wife saw him pitch forward ard ran to him, but death must have been instantaneous, as he was dead when she reached him. PECAN ion NEC x HON. H. R. EMMERSON DEAD.

Em- ways in the Laurier Liberal Govern. ment and: at one time Premier of New Brunswick, died at his home here Thursday morning. Mr. Em- merson had been ill for some time and his death was not unexpected. The cause of Mr. Emmerson's death was heart failure.. All the members of Mr. Emmerson's fam- ily were present at his bedside when he died. Hon. Henry Robert Em- merson was of U. E. Loyalist des- cent and was born at Maugerville, N.B., September 23, 1853. He was educated at Amhurst Academy.

The Government made an offer to the British Admiralty to send the Rainbow up to Behring Sea to carry on the British share of the interna- tional patrol, following the' sealing convention, and this will be done. The two Admiralty ships which would otherwise have taken part in the patrol, the Algerine and the Shearwater, have been gent to Mexico. 5 he Great Britain, A new arbitration treaty between Great Britain and the United States is about completed.

Huge Mechanism Deposits Child at Queen's Feet. A despatch from London, says: When the King and Queen were making a tour of the Beardmore works, at Parkhead, Glasgow, re- cently, a 120-ton crane began to move from the opposite end of the workshop. Great was the aston- ishment of their Majesties to find that instead of the usual huge gun a pretty little girl carrying a bouquet was the burden of the crane. She stepped off the plate at the feet of | the Queen, and with a curtsey ask- ed her Majesty to accept the flowers from the workmen with love and] their thanks for coming to Park- head.
