A SHANGHAI FARM.
Not a Place for Breeding Poultry,
as Its Name Might Imply.
A Ke treat In California Where Men Are
Abducted and Shipped as Sailors
While Coder the Influence
of Drink.
A few people here will no doubt be
greatly interested in knowing; that
there is a "shanghai farm" within a
few hundred miles of them, says the
Oakland (Cal.) Times. Very few people
have any idea of the manner in which
a man is abducted and put on board a
-ressel in the stream, and fewer still
have any idea that a great deal of such
-work is done from the Oakland side, be
cause there is no water front patrol
here.
The manner of shanghaing is very
simple. When a captain requires a
crew the law demands that he shall
sign them before a proper officer. This
is done, and each man is asked if he is
satisfied with the manner in which his
account has been settled by the board
ing roaster. The answer is invariably
In the affirmative, and the captain
leaves the shipping office. He knows
that if he has signed twelve men twelve
men will be put on board his ship when
he is on the evo of sailing, but he also
knows by experience that if he gets
one-half of the actual men he engaged
he will get more than the average. The
other half are partners of the board
ing master, who have probably been
before the same shipping1 master twice
in the one week. It is these dummies
who are substituted by men who are
shanghaied, the latter being, in many
instances, so unlike sailors that it is
considered advisable to keep them out
of sight. It is quite a common occur
rence for three or four of the crew,
after they recover from their stupor, to
have to go to the mate and find out the
name under which they are sailing.
Additional light has been thrown on
the matter by the publication of a story
in a Santa Rosa journal of the exist
ence of a "shanghai farm" located near
that town. "There is one industry," it
says, "located near Santa Rosa of
which most people have no knowledge.
It is a 'shanghai farm.' A clever mor
tal of San Francisco, who has various
interests in water-front boarding
houses and is under contract to furnish
sailors to shipmasters, is the proprietor
of this industry.
"The retreat is located in the hills
over in Rincon valley, about five miles
from town. There is plenty of whisky
kept on tap, and all who enter therein
are invited to drink to their heart's con
tent. In most every town between
here and San Francisco the 'shanghai
farm' is in collusion with some beer
joint proprietor. This is the way the
scheme is conducted: The victim has
been at work, and on Saturday night
comes to town with his earnings. He
is in for a good time, and joins convivial
crowds wherever he finds them. He
finally gets into the spider's web. His
money is all gone, but still he is given
drink. He is told of the joys and com
forts of a mountain home near by,
owned by a philanthropic friend of the
barKeeper, wnere tne weary may rest
from their labors and drink good
whisky. lie is fascinated. He is kept in
a nasty reeking drunk all night. Next
morning he wants to sober up on
whisky. He is half dazed. He is in
vited to take a ride in a buckboard by
a friend who appears on the scene, and
gratefully accepts the offer. They
drive to the shanghai retreat. A big
barrel of whisky stands sparkling in
the cellar. A half dozen vagabonds
are lying around. The victim gets
thoroughly drunk, and so remains until
a new vessel arrives at the Sa Fran
cisco port, when the proprietor comes up
and escorts the bevy and places them
aboard the vessel. When the victim
realizes his whereabouts he is sailing
over the bounding main."

HOPE FOR MANITOBA.
A Winnipeg Man Thinks It Will Yet Be
the Granary of the World.
"If the horse could stand it," said a
well-known resident of Winnipeg, Man
itoba, to a reporter for the Washington
Star, "a man could leave Winnipeg and
ride one thousand miles west and north
west over a level prairie before he would
be obstructed by the mountains. This
gives an idea of the great territory ly
ing west of Winnipeg, which, to the
eastern man, seems way out of the
world. The soil of this prairie produces
the finest spring wheat grown any
where, and the enormous plain I've just
mentioned will in a few years be the
gTeat granary of the world. Eastern
people have a misty id ea of our expan
sive territory. We are just commenc
ing to grow wheat compared to a de
cade hence, though our crop two years
ago was thirty million bushels. We
have but little snow, and in the many
years I resided in Manitoba I never
saw the tops of the bright prairie grass
covered. Cattle fairly roll in fat, and
we are becoming a great cattle country.
While most of our settlers are from
across the water, yet the n amber from
the western states is yearly increasing.
We have no wild west frontier scenes.
There are no settlers killed over dis
puted claims, as has been an everyday
story in the west for years. Our home
stead laws require a three years' resi
dence of six months each. Land may
be preempted, too. Gold has been dis
covered in wonderfully rich quartz de
posits a few miles east of Winnipeg,
and paying mills have just been erected
by Minneapolis capitalists. I predict a
'rush' to the Lake of the Woods district
next year. Winnipeg has thirty-five
thousand inhabitants and is a thriving
city. Our winters are cold, but we do
not mind them. The atmosphere is dry
and the days are clear, murky weather
being almost unknown."
A Leader.

bitters has gained rapidly in popular
favor, until now it is clearly in the lead
among pure medicinal tonics and alter
atives containing nothing which per
mits its use as a beverage or intoxicant,

medicine for all ailments of stomach,
liver or kidneys. It will cure sick head
ache, indigestion, constipation and drive
maleria from the system. Satisfaction
guaranteed with each bottle or the

per bottle. So'd by Snipes & Kiuersly.
Put your dinners on to cook so all the
things will be done at the same time
and nothing be spoiled by waiting till
the rest are done.
My wife was confined to her bed for
over two months with a very severe at
tack ot rheumatism. We could get
nothing that would afford htr any re
lief, and as a last resort gave Chamber
lain's Pain Balm a trial. To our great
surprise she began to improve afu-r the
first application, and by using it regu
larly she was soon able to get up and
attend to her house work. E. H. John

Patent medicines differ One has
reasonableness, another has not. One
has reputation another has not. One
has confidence, born of success, another
has only "hopes." Don't take it for
granted that all patent medicines are
alike. They are not. Let the years of
uninterrupted success and the tens of
thousands of cured and happy men and
women, place Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription on the side of the compari
son to which they belong. And there
isn't a state or territory, no nor hardly
a country in the world, whether its peo
ple realize it or not, but have men and
women in them that're happier because
of their discovery and their effects.
Think of this in health. Think of it in
sickness. And then think whether you
you can afford to make the trial if the
makers can afford to take the risk to
give your money back, as they do, if
they do not benefit or cure you.

takes the handle off and puts it in his
