The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1883-07-28


nal: Mr.. Lawhead, the Morgan
town carriage factory man, is in
town. Mr.. Lawhead reports IN un-
usually prosperous season this year.
James A. Brown, Esq, returned on
Thursday from the Webster Springs
at Addison, Webster county. He is,
we are glad to say, very much i'm
proved in health.
Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Brown have
gone to housekeeping. The late and
rather fine addition to their house is
a good improvement.
Mrs. Julia McGrew, wife of the
Rev. George H. McGrew, and her
three children and their nurse arrived
here on Tuesday, and are stopping at
the Hon. James C. McGrew's. Mrs.
McGrew and party sailed from Bonn
bay city, India, and after voyage
of about five weeks. arrived in New
York city on June 4th. She was ac-
companied by her three children, her
mother, Mrs. Lore, and her sister, Miss
Bess Lore. Mrs. Lore lives at Bos-
ton, but she and her daughter Bess
went over to India about year ago.
Mr.. McGrew has not decided whether
he will come to America next year or
not. He is so earnestly engaged in
missionary work in India, and bears
so important part to it that he is
reluctant to leave it. Besides, while
his own health is excellent many Of
his fellow-workers are constantly
forced to leave on account of i'll health;
hence, the necessity, as he thinks, Of
his remaining there.

Legitimate Newspaper Advertisins

Ex-Mayor Bullene, Of Kansas City,
was recently in st. Joseph, and was in.
terviewed by the Herald. Mr.. Bullene
is at the mead Of the great dry goods
house Of Bullene, Moores & Emery. He
said, in reply to question, that he attri-
buted the success Of his firm ito good
times and its extensive advertising"
Advertising" he said, "was necessary
to secure trade" His firm expended
$4,000 last year, for advertising, and
would expend between $4,000 and $l5,-
600 this year for the same purpose.
This he said, was for newspaper adver-
tising alone. And he added:
"The newspaper is the only proper
medium for live merchant 20 employ.
wouldn't give cent q bushel for cir
culars, dodgers and sign boards. When
you find merchant attempting to do
business without advertising i'm the
newspapers you can make up your mind
he is not very anxious for customers.
The people read the newspapers now-a-
days. Why, sir, to show you the value
Of advertising. let me tell you that We
spent round sum for full page of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat and Republi.
can, and we were astonished at the re-
suits. People thought we were crazy to
advertise in St. Louis, but we secured
customers from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri
and Kansas that could be traced directly
TO those advertisements"
"Yoa advertise regularly; that is con-
stantly?" said the reporter.
"Yes sir! Our contracts are for six
months and year. The dull season ia
the very time We advertise. People are
always ready for bargain you know.
Our policy is tn nnt as much money i'm
to newspaper advertising as into store
expenses that is rent and light. All
the successful merchants of to-day owe
their success to legitimate newspaper
advertising.

Mitchell, OAK, July 2.-People are no
longer in suspense as to the course the
Milwaukee company will run their Nit
cheli and Bismarck line. Several Of
Huron's enthusiastic workers met man
ager Merrill Friday, with carriages at
Letchcr, to convey him to the city, but
Mr., Merrill did not allow himself to be
placed under obligations, but hired
team, and, with his surveyor, drove to
Huron, looked over the situation and
ordered his surveyor back TO Letcher to
continue work on the survey, which
leaves Huron several miles east Of where
the Milwaukee crosses the Northwest.
ern. Nearly so carloads of material
have arrived here for the new road, and
work is now resumed in earnest. A
leading railroad man Of the Northwest
ern told u reporter yesterday that the
Milwaukee company were working for
the interests Of Mitchell, and did not in
tend To give her any rival town in this
part Of their territory.

The Colorado, Texas, Clipper says that
the largest ranch in Texas ia that Of
Charles Goodnight located at the head
of Red river. He began buying land
two years ago, securing 100000 acres at
80 cents per acre. In the mean time the
price has advanced from 81 TO 81 per
acre, but he is still buying and now con-
trolls 100000 acres. To inclose his land
ed possessions, $50 miles of fencing is
required. Mr. Goodnight has herd Of
10000 cattle. When 1t is considered
the: the whole Ntate of Rhode Island
contains only 674,944 acres, it will be
seen what an immense amount of land
this mans possessions cover. Miller &
Lux own IS much land in California AZ
MIR. Goodnight does in Teas. They
have 100000 acres in the San Joaquin
valley alone.

Ret urning travellers say that Bismarck
is just now having & se:.! estate boom Of
the widest and most extravagant char
acter. Since the location of the capital
there 5000 acres have been plated as
additions to the town, which exceeds by
thousand acres the regular town-site.
Every one seems to be engaged in the
real estate business. Ministers quit
preaching TO speculate in corner lots
merchants close their stores, profession.
| al men their Offices, and even day labor
ers throw aside their implements Of toll
to become fullfedged operators. The
only men that stick to their legitimate
calling the saloon-keepers, and they are
on duty night anu day, and the rush
and excitement are giving them a har-
vest they don't care to abandon for deals
In dirt. One returning pilgrim, who
was glad to get ava from the intense ex.
element, says that Main street i'm Bis
marck is more of Of bcdlam than is
Wall street, New York. Excited men
rush up and down the street, buying or
selling, they don't care which, and often
the purchasers never go near the prop
erty they buy and know nothing about
it. One day the excitement runs in one
direction, and the next day some shrewd
operator starts the boom for another
part OF the town. Property anywhere
near the capital site has been run up to
fabulous prices, and changes hands at
figures which are absurd in the light Of
true value.

The Journal has the following TO say
in regard TO the manner Of overcoming
the difficult; caused by the error in the
. new law for funding our Indebtedness,
which our commissioners will do well
10 consider:
"Cnder the provisions of the new
funding law the commissioners Of Pen
nington and Custer counties have been
placed in quandry. A petition Of a
majority of the votes of each Of these
counties is made the foundation for
funding the floating indebtedness, but
this majority, according to the law, is 70
be determined from the vote in the clec-
ton Of 1888. 1t was first claimed that
this was clerical error, but had such
been the case it could have been RENE
died. AS it is however, the commits.
sioners, under the law, would be com
PEELED to wait until the election for this
| year is held in order TO determine the
number Of names sufficient to authorize
them to bond. The election for 1888 is
however only an annual. and not gen.
eral election, and unless the commits
sioners call an election at the same time
to vote upon the proposition to fund.- no
basis for funding can be made. Under
a new law, at the annual election the
voters Of the commissioners district in
which a commissioner is 10 be elected
are alone entitled to vote. and thus a
mere petition signed by the voters gem
orally would not be sufficient, as the
vote OF county cannot be learned in a
mere commissioner election. To cal! a
general election ut the same time for the
purpose Of securing vote Of the county
upon proposition to fund, the commits.
sioners undoubtedly have ample author
ity, and there could be no reasonabl ob.
lection made to this course. It would
be we'll IL the Indebtedness could be
fuaded at once, but we cannot see how
this may be done. A general election
upon the proposition i'm the fail will
settle il beyond question, and it is en-.
tirely probeble that this course will be
adopted.

The Plankington Free Press says /:
"The movement in Dakota for division
of the territory, with view Of having
south Dakota admitted as q state, has
taken definite shape, q convention Of
delegates from the various counties Of
the southern portion Of the territory
having been called to meet at Sioux
Fails, September 4, to frame a constitu-
tion preparatory to an application to
congress for admission as a state. The
election for delegates to this convention
will take place August l. There is for
midable opposition to this movement in

A Washington dispatch Of the 9th
says: Gen. Crook will start back for the
west in day or two, and may not wait
for Secretary Lincoln and Secretary
Teller to decide whether or not the en-
tire Apache reservation shall pass under
control Of the war department, as has
been proposed. He says it would be
useless TO try to remove the Apaches
from their native country. If taken to
the Indian territory, with the object OF
removing them from the border, they
would run back. Speaking Of the ap-
prehension Of the Indian bureau that
the hostiles would demoralize the In
dians at San Carlos if put upon the re-
servation. he remarked that it was hard
to spoil rotten eggs. In explaining him
self he said the Apaches on the reserva-
tion now were off the same piece exact
ly as the Chiricahuas, and no better and
no worse. 1t was ludicrous in the opin-
ion of the general to classify them and
call the San Carlos Apaches saints and
the Chiricahuas devils. They were Just
alike, and those who were quiet now
could not be spoiled by contact with
their cousins who had q little more
name just now.

An Unequal Match.

The beauty of the Capri girls is pro-
verbal and many of the artists have fallen
captive to their charms. their darkly bril-
liant eyes. halt-Oriental type OF face, so
enchanting for painter. Perhaps the
most celebrated case was that of the son
of the Hon. Mrs. Norton, the English
poetess and author.
During his sojourn there, while paint
ing Capri beauty. he fell in love with
and married her. much to the disgust of his
high born relatives: but it was a sorrow
full affair for all concerned. The mother
never torgave her son the disappointment
he occasioned her. and the future Lady
GRAVITY was made to give up her beauti-
ful children to their English relatives. that
they might be brought up and educated
as became their fathers station, while
he fingered out some years of quasi
happy existence. dying Mt last from the
effects of drinking.
His wife. Lady GRAVITY, the former
Capri beauty, now a middle-aged woman
with no traces of the fatal loneliness that
caused her such unhappness in her do
nestle relations, still lives on the island,
and at long intervals her children-mar-
ried in England-come to see their mother
but the influence of another sort of life and
society are stronger than the ties of
blood, and there is little sympathy be-
tween them.-Boston Transcript.
