women's Opportunities in Dakota.

From the Western Trail.
The West and Northwest offer great
and glowing Inducements to all classes

but there is ample room for many more

lied. 1t Is estimated that there are now
$4,000 girls, big and little, under the age oil
81 years, and as many more married
women In Dakota. Add 5000 widows OF
indefinite years, and there still remains a
fright smart chance'' for worthy. enter.
prising young women to select husbands
from a choice lot of candidates for matrI-
monial honors.
The average Dakota girl during the
early boom period was type of energy
and undGunted courage worthy the adj
miration If not emulation of her sisters,
Among the then homesteaders and pre-.
emptors she brayely cast her lot, and
without tlinching confronted her full
share OF dangers and hardships. She had
plenty of nerve and persistence. Nc
matter how hard the WIND blew or de.
pressing the obstacles encountered during
the six months residence required by
law, she never abandoned her claim. The
Commissioner OF Immigration located
at Huron-who is apparently as
much an enthusiast as Pat
Donan on the subject OF
"marriageable females" declares
that sin some instances merry company
of young women, including perhaps fe "
enterprising widows of the age of spice in
woman, would establish female colony
on a small scale, and by grouping two or
three 'shacks' together on intersecting
corners of adjoining claims would man.

"To sucA party" he adds, ''claim-life,
even if passed in residence composed of
sod, had its positive charms. Plain cook
ing, regular habits and liberal draughts
OF the air that alone is enough to made
Dakota famous, supplied the conditions
OF an enviable existence"
The number of women who have oh.
tanned one or two quarter-sections of 100
acres each in Dakota is very large. Such
property interests prove a good invest
ment against a ''raiDy day" and every
added Improvement renders them more
valuable. In short time they can be
readily converted into cash a t good prices.
Many school teachers, dressmakers, sales
women, and girls at service, and others
more or less dependent on some male re-
lative for support, have judiciously
saved, invested their earnings, and
acquired property in this way, and are
now independently well of. with fair
prospect Of becoming rich. The women of
Dakota-whether practical farmers or
not-are treated with chivalrOus
respect, and according to their merits are
welcomed and accorded first piece in the
best class of society.

A BUGGY RIDING HoBGOBLIN.
A Reliable Citizen Tells a Wonderful
Story of His Experience.
From he Ven YORK Herald

From the NeD York Herald
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Aug. 6.-The citi-
zens OF Cheshire are terribly excited over
the adventures OF Patrick Eagan, a
worthy citizen of that town. On Thurs
day night, as he was driving alone
along the road near the old Jenny
Hill Harytes mine, his horse
suddenly snied and almost unset
tho buggy. Suddenly from the side of the
road came up an indescribable goblin,
which climbed into the buggy seat
beside him. 1t neither resembled
II human being nor anything he
had ever seen or heard OF. IL rode with
him for half a mile, when it as suddenly
disappeared. He said be was not afraid,
but felt incapable OF making any protest.
and he adds that $50 would not tempt him
to go over the road again after nightfall.
Mr. Eagan Is one of the most responsible
ard VeraciOus men in the town. and no
amount OF argument Will induce him to
believe that he is victim of an optical
Illusion or that he is laborlng under mem
tai alteration. His neichbors are con-
WINGED that he is sincere and that ne did
actually see the hobgoblin.

MEAT HANDLERS STRIKE.

An Order to Load Cars Switched
by Imported Men the Trouble.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Between 200 and
300 meat handlers in the packing house of
Robt. Warren Il Co., at the stock yards,
struck this morning. The reason assigned
Is that they were required to load cars
handled by imported s9.vitchmen. Ever
since the strike OF the Lake Shore switch
men trouble has been expected from the
men in the packing houses, who were re-
garded as natural allies OF the strikers.
The employees of several packing houses
have given their employers to understand
that they would not handle Lake Shore
freight or load cars of that company. No
attempts were made to load such cars at
Warren house until this morning, when
half dozen empty box cars were run up
to the house and the men ordered to load
them. They refused peremptorily and
threatened 10 strike if the order was re-
newed. The firm again ordered the cars
loaded, and the men stopped working and
went out OF the house.
81 have ordered my house closed" said
Robert Warren.
1--WE sold out our hogs that we bought
this morning, and have closed down.

HOW HE WAS CAUGHT.
The Oldest Counterfeiter on Earth
Arrested On Farm.


LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Aug. 9.-On Aug
Deputy United States Marshal Faulken-
berry left this city in search of Francis
Hupgerford, counterfeiter. The Mar
shall learned that the man he wanted lived
in Lawrence county. He made care
iul search and found Hungerford in the
Black river region on small farm
where he has lived since 1882. He
is 10 years of age, and has head of long
hair. and a beard white as snow, and
from all that can be learned ne is the old
est counterfeter in America. In 1880 he
was arrested at Plymouth, Ind, on the
charge of making bad coin. The evidence
in the case was so strong that he pleaded
guilty and was sent 10 Jehersonvllle,
Ind. prison for term OF two years. AL
ter serving his time he came to Arkansas
and settled in Lawrence, where he is
charged with having piled the same I'M
lawful avocation.
Mr.. Faulkenbury says when he went
to arrest this man he found him in
corner of the farm grazing stock. After
the arrest was made they went to the
house where Hungerford and his wife re-
side. The wife was in an adjoining room
and presently entered where her husband
and the officer were with mans coat
thrown across her left arm, and her right
hand thrust in pocket of the garment. Il

would follow" said the Deputy Marshal,
"but took my chances and advanced to-
ward her. saw the handle of something

Il. q O.'S AGREEMENT.
The joint Traffic Contract Ratified
by the Jersey City Road.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Pat meet
ing yesterday of the Jersey Central Rail
road Company the joint traffic contract
between that road and the Baltimore and
Ohio was formally approved. The new
agreement recognizes the one already OK
listing between the Baltimore and ONO
and the Reading road, and under its pro-
visions the Jersey Central, Reading, and
Baltimore and OHIO lines will be operated
as one road. The Central agrees to inter-
pose no objections to the construction Oh
q bridge over Arthurkill 10 Staten Island,
where the Baltimore and ohlo's ter
minals are to be located. The Baltimore
and OHIO also has right to DO
all its business, passenger, express
and freight, over its staten Island
line if desired. 1t is agreed, however,, on
the part of the Baltimore and ONO, that
IL will not divert its freight business to
Staten Island until after the expiration
of two years, and that it will not divert
its passenger and express business untll
after SIX years. The Baltimore and Ohio
will exercise it's pleasure after these linn
its of time have expired, wbetherlt will
continue to use the Jersey Central termi-
mails at JERSEY City or not. In return for
the privileges derived through the
agreement the Baltimore and Ohio pledges
itself to abandon the idea OF building an
independent road from Bound Brook 10
Staten Island Sound. From Bound Brook
TO Elizabeth the Jersey CentraPs tracks
will be used. 1t will be necessary for the
Baltimore and Ohio to begin building
road starting somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of Elizabeth, two miles from the
sound, in order that proper elevation
may be reached at the bridge. The Jersey
Central, however, is assured OF the haul
from Bound Brook to Elizabeth, dis
lance of about twenty miles, on all Balti-
more and Ohio traffic forever, settlements
10 be made on a pro rata basis, and the
contract to continue 500 years.
