Vas Mindful of the strnnner.

The Sioux Falls Leader relates this incident
as characteristic of the Dakota real estate
dealer: s'Not long since Bishop Hare, in
talk to Sioux Falls congregation, impressed
upon them the importance of showing cour
tesy to strangers especially, who entered our
churches as visitors. Last Sunday his advice
was carried out in manner which perhaps
he did not intend. A stranger was an.
preached after the Episcopal service, in
which he had taken part, by well known
real estate man, with Il see you are a
stranger here! Yes was the reply VERY
glad to see you take part in the services
think every one ought to. Here's my bust
ness card; call on me tomorrow The
stranger relates the incident in such a man
ner as would indicate that he appreciated the
courtesy"
Can't Tell the Truth Ecen About the Crops.
The Sanborn Enterprise says:-The crop re-
ports in the Pioneer Press says that along the
Northern Pacific west of Fargo the dry
weather is telling on it, and the conditions
are not as favorable as they were two weeks
ago. This will be news to those living in
this section; as the great fear has been that
there was too much rain. The facts are the
crops are in an unusually fine condition and
if nothing happens to them between now and
harvest the yield will be far above that OF
last season. There has been a heavier rain
fall this summer than in any season the past
five wears.

J. M. SMITH & co.
A Chicago Statement in Regard to the
Relations of the st. Paul Firm
With Armsby & Co.

The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday morning
contained the following story regarding the
st. Paul firm of J. NJ. Smith 81 Co. and the
Chicago firm of J. K. Armsby & Co.:
The recently embarrassed firm of J. K.
Armsby s. Co. has not yet drawn up a state
ment of It's actual standing, but expects to be
able TO do so either to-day or tomorrow, as
Mr.. Newton is going over the firms books
preparing a careful statement. Itleaked out
Yesterday that J. K. Armsby 81 Co. paid en-
tirely too dear for their whistle when they
bought out the canned goods firm of ]. NJ.
Smith & Co., of st. Paul. j. NJ. Smith, who
comprised about the entire firm, formerly did
business in Chicago, and had intimate rela-
tons with Armsby s Co. When Smith went
to st. Paul to go into business last November
he told an intimate friend of his that his en-
| tire capital was just SOS, 600. He attempted
to carry on too big business on compare
lively slender capital, and as usual in such
| cases he ssbusted up-n When the business
| cyclone struck him J. &. Armsby & Co. were
among his leading creditors, and in
order to secure themselves and at the same
! time to gain big branch establishment they
agreed to buy out Mr.. Smith for a reasonable
| sum. Mr. Smith made out schedule of bis
stock and bills receivable and put them down
as worth SAC, 200, j. K Armsby & Co. &C.
cepted the terms and paid him in cash and
i notes. But when the purchasers came tc
examine their purchase after paying out their
\ money they were astonished to discover thai
what with the shrinksge in book account:
/ the concern was worth exactly SIS, 600 less
than the sum paid for it. They tried to can.
/ eel the bargain with Smith, but he replied, il
is said, that the firms notes were in tbs
hands of Chicago broker. When the brok
er was called upon he said that after consult
ing an attorney he had decided to hol1 on tc
\ the notes. This was the real cause Of tht
Armsby & Co failure.
A Tri5psss reporter called on Mr. Armsby
Yesterday and asked him IL there was an,
truth in the story. He was surprised tina
the circumstances in the case were out. ant
then declared that he was 10th 10 talk abou

A visitor at Mitchell, in a seance with the
editor Of the CapttI, recently gave this evil
dence of his power to read the minds OF the
people Of that locality: II was prejudiced
against south Dakota before leaving Iowa,
but am pow confident that without question
it is the garden Of the west. You raise corn
here. That means cattle and hogs and pros
perity. Now, Iowa assumes TO be corn
state, but in all my twenty-five years of resi-
dence there have not seen better outlook
for corn than you have in the vicinity Of
Mitchell at the present time. don't wish
to aatter Jon, but It is my candid opinion
that you have the lveliest, though not the

Why the Burlington WHl Build West O.
DenCeP

WY the Darlington Wut Build Vest of
DenCeP.
The report that the Burlington is again
considering the advisaoilty of extending its
line from Denver west through Colorado is
believed to be true. At present the Bur-
lington ia at disadvantage west of Denver,
as its connection, the Denver Il Rio Grande
is narrow gage road, and business has to
be transhipped at Denver. Besides, it has
10 take business around by way of Pueblo,
which makes It's line to Salt Lake City and
Ogden about $50 miles longer than by tn e
Union Pacific. 1t is therefore believed to be
the intention of the Burlington to secure
line in every way equal to
the Union Pacific by building a short
cut from Denver or point east to a connec-
ton with the Denver IL Rio Grande Western,
and then either lease or purchase the latter
and transform it into standard-gage road
BY this means the Burlington would be en-
abed to meet any competition the Union Pa
ciic may make on California, Utah and Colo
rodo traffic. The Burlington has had the
a0ove-named scheme in contem plation for
some time past, but did nothing towards car
ryiug it out until now, because it had been
under the impression that it might gain some
concessions from the Union Pacific by which
Il could avoid the expense of constructing the
uew line. The attitude of the eastern allies
Of the Union Pacific, however, has pre-
vented the Burlington from securing any
concessions from the Union Pacific, and 1t is
therefore compelled to rely upon its own re-
sources. The plan to extend the Burlington
west from Denver has received some Impetus
from the report that the Rock Island is
scheming to secure control Of the Union Pa
ellie Ia that event the Burlington would
need an Independent broad. guage line
through TO Il connection with the Central
Pacific, if ii means to hold its own against
the Rock Island. The election Of Hugh Rid
die as director of the Union Pacific showed
that the Rock Island has secured en- interest
in that road, and 1t is an open secret that it
has been quietly buying up stocks and bonds
OF that company with view of securing con-
troll President Cable, of the Rock Island,
is now in the east, and it is believed that his
trip has some connection with scheme.
1t is rumored that the Rock Island
would have no objection to Vanderbilt Join
Ing in the scheme, as thereby the North
western would be prevented from extending
its Sioux City & Pacific line to Denver, which
extension it will be compelled to build II the
Rock Island secured control of the Union
Pacific alone. 1t is also probable that the
Milwaukee 81 st. Paul will be afforded an
opportunity to join in the purchase of the
Union Pacific. In this event the old tripar-
tite combination would be reestablished. but
1t would consist of the Rock Island, North
western, and Milwaukee & st. Paul, instead
of the Rock Island, Milwaukee tS st. Paul.
and Union Pacific, and the latter road will
be absorbed by the new combination and
cease to be an independent line

timated Smiths business to be worth $685.

Mr. Armsby indignantly denied the allega-
lions that had been rumored about to the eff
feet that the firm had been guilty of question
able business dealings in the matter of cutting
prices and trickery of that description. He
also denied that Gen. Waite had chung fire"
in coming to the front and bearing his part
OF the firms burden IN settling with its
creditors. He declared that the firms failure
was as much a surprise to Gen. Waite, who
was in San Francisco. as it was to Mr.. New
ton and himself. Gen. Waite, he said, had
real estate in Chicago entirely unincumbered
up to the time of the failure, when batch of
attachments were issued against it, and the
general win see that it is all sacrificed, if
needs be, to satisfy the firms creditors.
