Brandon, Nov 25, Hon. George Robson Cardwell, 
Manitoba's new provincial secretary was today 
elected by acclamation to succeed the late 
minister Hon. S.W. McInnis, at the nemmatible? 
held between 12 to 1 today in the city hall. No 
opposition being offered. The new minister's 
nomination paper was signed by 72 "lectors" 
fully half being Liberals. Coldwell briefly 
thanked the electors and said he would endeavor 
to look after the interests of the city. 

Regina Nov 25, Little Stella Trans? A nine year 
old Swedish girl, is travelling alone all the 
way from her old home in Stockholm, to Leduc, 
Alberta where she will be met by relatives who 
have already established themselves there and 
who have invited the little girl to come out and 
live with them. 
Although only nine years of age, and although 
the distance she will have covered when she 
arrives at her destination will have been nearly 
seven thousand miles. Little Stella is making 
the whole trip entirely alone. She is a bright-
eyed, tuir-haired smart little girl, small for 
her age, and as sharp as a steel trap. She is 
well provided with money, is nearly and 
carefully dressed and carries her ticket and 
identification card sewed into her skirt. She is 
a very alert and seems anxious to learn the ways 
and language of her new country. She can already 
speak a few works in English, picked up on the 
voyage out. And is quite willing to air her 
knowledge to anyone who will listen to her. 
Stella, is being passed from hand to hand by the 
officials who happen to be in charge of the 
conveyances in which she travels, and seems to 
be getting along famously. She is very popular 
amongst all the railway men who have looked 
after her so far and no fears are expressed as 
to her reaching the end of her journey safely. 
At Leduc she will be met by her sister, whose 
husband has a ranch not far from the town and 
who has promised to look after Stella and bring 
her up as a true Little Canadian prairie girl. 

Winnipeg, Man, Nov 25, A Galician named Charles 
Smith, was crushed between two cars in the 
C.P.R. yards about 2 o'clock today, dying about 
six. It is understood he leaves a wife and 
family. The railway medical men did not think it 
necessary to inform a coroner, which is 
considered a remarkable proceeding. 

St. John, N.B. Nov 26 A boy giving the name of 
Geo. Fairweather, was caught taking coal from an 
Intercolonial car tonight a policeman called at 
the given address and ordered the lad to attend 
court in the morning. The lad denied stealing 
the coal, saying some other boy must have used 
his name. The lad, who was thirteen years old, 
was alone, and when his grandmother returned, 
she found him on the kitchen floor with his 
throat cut and a razor beside him. There is a 
slight chance of saving the lad's life. The 
family deny the lad ever stole coal and when the 
grandmother left him he was writing out the 
minutes of the St. James Episcopal church, of 
which he is a member.
