Tue sermon Of the Rev. DR.. Tslmage,
the great and noted Brooklyn divine, last
Sunday upon the ':Downfall OF Religion,
was tclegraphcd to a large number of
metropolitan papers and has hccn read
by perhaps ten millions Of people. Tai
mage is not only a pulpit giant b,,t he has
the courage Of his convictions. lie never
shrinks from facing the devil in any form
that arch tiend presents himself In tins
sermon he drew picture of the darkness
tianity. rs only Ta'magc conld picture
It, by physical comparisons and phllo-
sophical deductions that would make the
blood OF even Bob lngcEsoll run cold. He
showed that Christianity had raised wo-
man from condition of harem ornaments,
chattcl lust and bcstiai degradation, to
the position OF queen OF her home and her
daughters to honorable places In society,
whereas, before the dawning Of the Chris
t,an civilization :hcr birth was q disaster,
her life a torture, her death a horror
lie pointed TO Durmah, where wives
and daughters were sold like sheep; to
lIindoo, where the living wife is burned
on the funeral pyre OF her husband; to
China where female children are bundled
and cast into the rivers because they are
females, and where women are harnesscd
10 plow like oxen. lie sad it was the
bible and the religion II taught that raised
woman from this condition, and il this
prop were removed It is only a question
in dynam,cs how far back she wonld fall.
If Al object be lifted from given point
and not fastened when the lifting power
is removed the object will fall to tho
placc from which it was lifted. lie said
that the downfall OF religion as advocated
by atheist and inndel would he to hnrl
civilization back into semi. barbarism and
into Hottcntot savagery; it would II
turning back the wheels Of progress Il
roll toward the dark ages; the clock o.
the centuries would be turned back twt

A Petition.

. THE DAKOTA LEGlSLATURE:
WHEREAS, There has been dispute be-
tween Kldder and Stutsman counties with
referance to range 60, and where's the
land IN said range has been assessed in
both counties, but longer IN Kidder, and
the taxes are claimed in Doth counties,
and by inspection Of the surveyor gener-
al's Office of this territory, and Of all old
maps of this county, made from said rec.
ords, viz:
White & Hewlt's; D. L.. Wilbur's and
johnson Nickeus. and the Northern Pa
cific Il. r. Co. maps it appears that said
range 50 was not claimed by Stutsman;
and whereas Kidder has paid all rauper's
bills of said range, to Stutsman county,
she, through her offices, having asked for
and received the same; and whereas,
without range So Stutsman county would
have Sc towns, and Kiddar---y.'--ss," .~'a.',a
oeln tf ouranlng saM range she Wol".
have Ga towns, and would be in great
danger of having the county divided on
ac count thereof at some future time; and
whereas there has been a bill introduced IN
the Dskota legislature to settle and denne
said boundaries, and confirm them 70
Kidder county.
We, your petitioners, think said bill IS
just, and that range % should pe con-
irmed to Kidder.
The above petition is being circulated
through this county and so far as We
know the statements contained therein
are correct 1t seems to the Alert that
! the opposition manifested by our citizens
to the Steele bill defining the boundaries
of Kidder county and including range o.
: was mistaken policy. Stutsman is the
; largest organized county in the territory
except Morton and we cannot hope long
20 retain all of our present territory ana
escape the shaving and dividing process
: of reduction While We may now sue
cessfully resis, such legislation would IT
not be laying the foundation for divls.
Ton OF this county in the not far distant
lifutures Already scheme for taking Off
several townships in the northeastern cor
ner of the county and forming new one
has been asitated and this agitation may
develop into scheme for taking of an
entire new county from the north side oil

Mr.. W. IL. Mclean, representing II. u.
Dun 4 Co.'S commercial agency, was IN
the city yesterday, and beng corralled by
M Alert reporter gave some very inter
es,ing facts concerning the country at
large.
Mr.. NJ. stated in substance that the
outlook for business during the coming
season was very Encouraging; that there
never had been a time when the mcr-
chants Of Dakota owed as little ns they
do at the present time, and that as II rule
they had comparatively few collections to
make. lie said that the general market
during the past year had been directly
opposcd TO the mercantile business, hav-
continually been on the decline, thus
want, or expect boom, but he was pos
tive that the coming season would
prove very profitable one to both deal
crs and manufacturers, as everything in
the Inc of merchandise was gradually
going up. Touching upon the subject of
Immigration he said that the leading I'M.
migration agencies Of both America and
Europe, state that more tickets have been
sold to this country during the past fc"
months than at any time previous fol
three years. Speaking of failures he sail
that North Dakota had practically nc
failures aud that here business interests
were in a healthy state. After payinsltht
merchants and business men of Fargo
