Hon. Jesse Harper, of Danville,
ILL.,, spent last Sunday in this city,
the guest of Mr.. Chas. E. Cunning
ham, 319 N. State street. Mr.. Har-
per has spent whole life in the study
of philanthropy and in all those ques-
tions which vex the people and retard
the progress of the human race. 1t
is always great pleasure to meet
such men, but in Mr.. Harper's case
particularly SO; he is SO genial and
kindly of heart, that the humblest Of
Gods creatures may be sure of his
sympathy and a hearing.
In a description of the Yelled
Prophets ball, the st. Louis Republic
thus describes some of the bellies Of
Little Rock: "Among those present
were, Miss Eflie Dill, of Little Rock,
a pretty blonde, in pale blue silk,
made in Empire style; decollete cor
sage; a wide girdle; blue shoes.
Miss Fannie Reyburn, of Little Rock,
green crepe gown made with bebe
waist, full skirt, wide sash of the
green tint; pearls and pink roses.
Miss Ida Beerson, of Little Rock, in
a very pretty costume OF white silk,
with diamond ornaments" Among
the other ladies mentioned was Miss
Ella Bell, sister of Mrs. H. P.
johnson Of this city, who appeared in
white silk gauze, low neck and short
sleeves; white roses.
Little Rock lays no claims at pres
ent to any special "boom," yet the
close observer must be impressed with
the vast amount Of improvements 60
ing on. Large and elegant business
houses, handsome residences being
erected, while whole rows Of tene-
ment houses (Which in numberless
cases have been engaged before the
foundations were completed, are be-
ing builtln many quarters OF the city.
Streets are being graded, pavements
laid, and the more prominent thor
oughfares present scene Of activity
which proves that our city is on the
high road to prosperity. 10 those
who are truly interested in Little
Rock this steady even growth is far
more gratifying than any number Of
bottomless booms, which are usually
gotten up, more in the interest OF
scheming individuals than for the true
interests Of city.

Duped and Betrayed.

Some two months ago a travelling
man by the name Of Reams met a
young girl by the name of Jennie
Garrett, living near Red6eld, Sphinx
county, and she became sm,tten
with the smiles and attentions of
the travelling hummer. During the
corn palace at Sioux City last month
he wrote to Miss Garrett to come TO
Sioux City and he would marry her.
She lefs home and met her lover at
the place designated, and they were
duly married and remained in
Sioux City a couple of days enjoy
ing the sights of corn palace. The
third morning Reams told his wife
that he had received an urgent tele-
gram from Missouri Valley and he
had to 60 there at once, requesting
her to go and visit some friends of
hers near Richland in this County,
and he would send for her in a few
days. She remained with her friends
nearly a month during which time
she has not heard a word from her
supposed husband and last week
she returned home to her parents a
sadder and wiser girl. The marriage
was no doubt q mock one and the
gay lothario has perhaps forgotten
Miss Garrett, and is playing his
game with some other girl in anoth-
er part of the country. Miss Garrett
is a young lady of intelligence, good
education and highly respected by
her friends. She has learned a Bit
ter lesson, however, and that is not
to bestow her affections upon strang-
ers. The william who would so base.

Address to the People.

The South Dakota enforcement
League sends greeting and congratu-
lations to the people Of the common
wealth over the matches victory
recently gained in putting prohibit
ton into the organic law Of the
State. Than this no grander moral
achievement was ever witnessed,
either in this OF any land. South
Dakota leads the world in this re-
spect and every citizen should be
proud of her, be his politics and re-
ligion what they may. We say,
she has done magnifcently. God
bless her!
The Non-Partisan Prohibition Or
g%anization, having served the pur-
pose for which it was created, has
now ceased to exist, except for the
settlement Of its financial obliga-
tons, and is succeeded by the South
Dakota Enforcement League, which
vas formed at Pierre on the 18th
inst, and wliose.officers were elect
ed at Huron six days later. The
objects OF this league are,
First, TO promote and crystalize a
healthy public sentiment which
shall guarantee to the state the
highest possible achievement of the
prohibitory principle.
Second, To aid in the securement
Of the most stringent and effective
legislation touching every phase of
the question, and
Third, To lend to our civil officers
both executive aud judicial, such en-
couragement and assistance as the
times may demand.
We commend this new organiza-
ton to every loyal citizen and to
every lover of the home throughout
the state. We ask you TO join it.
We urge you TO lend it your inf!u-
ence, your time and your means to
a ! mi,ea extent.
If the $4,000 laen who, at the late
election, voted "For Constitutional
Prohibition, Yes" together with
their wives aud children, will now
put themselves squarely into line
with the present movement, moi
only will prohibition be a princi-
pie in u organic law, but, what is
even better, it will shortly become
an actual fact in our experience as a
people.
"A strong pull, and a long pull,
and a pull all together, cannot fail to
give us a complete victory. In the
name Of the home, and in The name
Of the church, and tho common
wealth, we demand this victory at
your hands. The eyes Of the coun-
try are upon you. Be true. Be
brave. Be irresistible. And it.
shall again be. said Of our state,
"Behold what South Dakota has
done!p
Yours for a clean State,

were no doubt greatly disappointed
last week in not finding a report o,
seeing some mention Of the recep.
ton given to Mr.. and Mrs. Rifen.
bark by the good people Of our city
on Thursday evening ofthe preced-
ing week, which should have APP
peared in our last issue. It was
one of those seemingly inexcusable
omissions that newspaper mel will
sometimes make, and 70 one re-
grets it more than the editor of the
COURIER, as no people in our city
are more highly esteemed by us
than Rev. and Mrs. Rifenbark. The
reception was intended as a surprise
to Mr.. Rifenbark upon his return
home from conference bringing with
him his appointment for a fourth
term rs pastor Of the NJ. e. church
of this city. 1t was gotten up by
the ladies Of the society and held at
the parsonage, commencing with re-
freshments early in the afternoon,
which continued until nine O'Clock
in the evening. Mr.. and Mrs. Riff
enbark's friends do not only en-
brace the Methodist people but the
entire community, aud it seemed
along about eight o'clock they were
all going to be present to welcome
these good people to another years
residence with us, and show them
in some way our appreciation of
their earnest christian work among
us. Mr.. Rifenbark failed to arrive
on the eight o'clock train as was ex-
pected, but the reception went right
along just the same and his good
lady did the honor superbly. Mrs,
4. Of course was very much disap-
pointed, thinking that the reception
was exclusively for Mr.. r., but be-
fore the exercises closed her god,
appreciative heart melted to find
that a large share Of the substantial
tokens Of regard were for her. At
about nine o'clock quite a number
Of suspicious looking boxes and par
cells were brought into the room and
