100000 francs and the Quarantine
society was to receive back It's advance
in shares of 1000 francs each, which
were to participate pro rata in any pro-
fits that might accrue. It was also
stipulated that the Quarantine society
should not be called upon until the
advances of the government and the
city are exhausted. On the other

100000 bonds of 25 francs each at

It covers 1900 acres. The choicest spot

There will be an effort to get one or more
distinguished orators from the east, and
make the speaking that is done attractive

in the picnic itself, the Helendale farm is
worth seeing and investigating.

A Large Dakota Farm that Pays.

Everybody has read of the great Dwight
farm in North Dakota. 1t is named after
John Dwight, a heavy owner of the stock
of the company. A correspondent, treat
ing Of its work for the present year, says:
The Dwight farm is a big concern. The
area of this farm is nearly sixty thousand
acres, but it is not all contiguous, or all
IN one county. The farm proper is eight
miles northwest from Wahpeton on the
Manitoba. It lies between the Manitoba
and Minor branches Of the Northern Pa
elf. There are, however, two more farms
south and east. They are called ranches.
This 10 b home place and here the prin-
cipal plant is found, and the features that
surprise the clodhopper from New York
and New England. The pay roll of the
hands of this farm for the month of Au-
gust amounted to $4,000. The largest
number of hands in harvest was 175.
There have been cut and threshed 1000
acres of wheat, and the yield in round
numbers is 100000 bushels. Besides this
there were over 1000 acres of oats and
barley. Although this is not q stock farm,
there are several hundred head Of horned
stock, over two hundred head Of horses,
several hundred head of sheep, and pigs by
the acre. Personal property and buildings
are probably worth $150.OOO. There is
one item Of $37, 900 in horses. It requires
SO plows to do the fall blowing. This
year the plowlng will be done two weeks
earlier than usual. The crop is large, the
season is and has been favorable for the
entire work, and the result in q single
phrase is: Farming does pay on q large
SCALE" The best days threshing was
2,235 bushels Of wheat. There are seven
steam threshers on the farm. The whole
country around this farm is one vast wheat
field, aud throughout that part of Richland
county and south to the state line the
wheat crop is the best in North Dakota.
There are frequent yields of thirty and
forty bushels to the acre, and whole sec
tions that turn out twenty-five. This por-
ton of North Dakota is o surprise to the
visitor. 1t comes nearer his pr~econceived
notions of what wheat land should look
like than any other part of the state. It
meets his great expectations" j. b.
Power, of northwestern Richland, however,
reports the largest yield on two acres
fifty-four and sixty bushels. II is reliably
stated that the Dwight farm has never lost
money. John Miller, manager, is one of
of the owner and consequently one of
the heaviest taxpayers in Richland county.

IN A STRANGE LAND.


noNDoN, April 4.-Tho Rev. Charles
Sidney Hurd, lately Of the Palmerston
Unitarian Chapel, Boston, committed
suicide by taking opium at the Euston
Hotel, London, on Sunday last. Last
week Mr.. Hurd wrote to the Rev. Step.
ford Brook, asking pecuniary assistance.
Mr.. Brook made inquiries and promised
to pay Mr.. Hurd's passage 10 Boston on
Monday, although Mr., Hurd was q
stranger to him.
At the inquest on the body to-day a
letter dated Saturday from Mr.. Hurd to
Mr.. Brook was read. In this the un-
fortunate man thanks Mr.. Brook for his
kindness and apologies for having
troubled him. The letter concludes:
"The sole way by which can escape
my difficulties is through the gates Of
death. ! am the most unlucky mortal on
earth. Give my body TO amedical school
for dissection. My brothers. address Is
No. 4 Parker street, Malvern, Mass"
The jury returned verdict OF in-
sanity. Mr.. Brook will not allow the
body to be lissected and will deiray the
expenses OF burial.
A Boston dispatch says: Regarding
Rev. Charles S. Hurd, whose death by
suicide is reported from London, it IL
learned that he left New York March Is
for London, on business.for the Northern
Pacific Railroad, by whom he had been
employed for several months. His
brother, S. @. Hurd, resides In Maiden,
Mass, and he believes that the
theory Of suicide Is groundless. De-

health when he left home and with ex.
cellent prospects. He has been troubled
with nervous pains, and has been In the
habit oitaklng morphine to relieve them,
and 1t Is believed by his brother that his
death was due TO taking an overdose.
Word was received OF the death on Mon
day and instructions were at once Cabled.
but nothing in the London dispatch
indicated suicide. Mr.. Hurd Is said TO
have been at one time engaged TO a
young lady residing at Mapiewood, but
the engagement was broken, and this
may have had something to do with his
