valiant settlers, men and women
who believe that Providence rules
and does all things wisely. While
many had very light crops last year,
yet they have confidence to believe
that all things work for the best.
The labor they are now bestowing
on their fields will speak for itself
Among the leading settlers in that
locality we note Messrs. McFadden
Bros, also Mr. and Mrs. McFadden,
the father and mother. This fam
lily will crop over 800 acres. Mr..
Editor, if YOU ever drive through
that section Of country don't fail to
call on Father and Mother McFad-
den, The latch string of their door
hangs on the outside. You have
only to pull the string and walk in;
you will not only be made welcome.
but you will see garden of berries,
vegetables and a grove Of trees that
will make you laugh and grow fat.
VIM. Grote, a near nelghbor, will
crop 32O acres. You should give
him a call, as he has Polled ANGUS
bred bull, one Of the finest animals
of that kind in the county, if not in
the state. Messrs. Caldwell Bros,
will seed about 300 acres, John Ice
berg turns IT'S acres, Peter Hoffas
goes 200 acres, James Summers, 200
acres, Noah Bros, 200 acres, VIM.
Ross, 100, Arthur Bartlett, 200.
.Jno. Shutter, 200, A. D. Smith puts
in 200 acres; his claim is pleasantly
located. Brother Smith has been
and probably still is an admirer of
guinea fowls. He has very pleas
ant location and is a good practical
farmer, like the majority Of the set
tiers has good wife, Lansing
Wardell and Son will seed 15O'scres,
L, w. Cox sows 100 acres and G.
MacNicholl goes 70 acres, and thus
we might go on and name scores Of
others. In a word our settlers still
have faith in Dakota, The writer
is no prophet, neither is he the sew
enth son of a prophet, but to any
sane man it is clear as noonday,
that the honest settler who forsakes
his claim and leaves for other new
fields will find d rough road to tray
ell. Hold fast to your claim, stay
where you are and do the very best
you know how. Industry, in the
long run, always meets with a re-
ward. Make out with your old
machinery for another year, work
hard, be industrious and ir the end
all will be we'll. LENoX.

Knights Of Labor and tho New York Cen
trail Must Fight 10 Out
There Will be no general strike ordered on
the New York Central Road and the other
Vanderbilt lines by the Supreme Council OF
the United Order OF Railway Employees.
such Is the decision that has been reached
In Terre Haute by that body after con-
ference lasting several days. sympathy In
abundance is rendered the Knights OF Labor
In It's fight In support OF organized labor as
Mr.. Powderly states the case To be, but the
constitution of the federation Will not per-
nit a strike to be ordered on the hypothet-
Teal case presented. The report issued by the
Supreme Council disposes of federation help
to tho knights by way OF sympathetic
strike, and the great interest now attaches
TO the probable offer OF financial assistance
Tho whole matter regarding this contin-
gency is left with Grand Master fargent,
and II occasion arises for financial help TO
come from the federation, II Is he alone who
has the power to order a call. Under the
strong expressions made In the manifesto 1t
Is regarded as likely that financial assist
ance will be forthcoming II the situation
requires Il. Just how far this offer OF as
sistance, II II really comes to that, on the
part of the federation will involve the
federation and the New York Central
system is question which time alone
can answer, and it was probably due to
that fact that the Supreme Council rele-
gated this matter of financial assistance
to the future. 1t was fact as well known
| to Mr. Sargent and his colleagues as 1t was

chief of the engineers, was and Is hostile to
the strike on the Central system, and that
Arthur and Powderly are not dwelling to-

could not command the support OF the en-
rineers. Since this conference has been

France Rnrias All Its CitIzens.

1t is the law I'm France for the Govern
ment to bury all of its citizens. In that
country funerals are Government mo-
noIoy, and the undertakers are military
officers, ranking usually as majors or
captains. The finer the funeral the
higher the rank of the official in charge,
who is dressed, as a rule, in black vel
vet, with much gold lace, sword and a
cockade. The Burial Bureau in Paris
occupies ono Of the largest buildings in
.he world. If you die there your rela-
tives and friends are not consulted at all
as to your funeral. The Bureau, upon
receiving report of your death through
the police, takes its own steps to find
out the social position and means of your
family.
In accordance with its information on
these points the funeral is ordered. II
the Bureau decides that you ought to
have frst-class funeral, you arc COM
pelled to have it whether or no, and II IL
is not paid for promptly the family goods
will be confscated. The sort OF funeral
chosen for you will be one of eleven
classes, as the Bureau may direct, the
expense descending from $4,000 for a
frst-class burial to S12 for tenth-class
interment. Paupers come in the elev-

reminded him that the tendency OF popu-

effects OF that tendency were modified

which the population of Connecticut would

Webster spoke In the Senate would have
followed eagerly every syllable as the
great man waded the trout brook and

President Hamlln, the old Maine hero,
was fishing In a Canadian stream and
had struck splendid salmon. A boat
approached in which were the English
Treaty Commissioners, and tho visitors
were to be presented to the late incum-
bent OF the Vice Presidents chair. Mr..
Hamln was meeting the crisis with the
vigor and skill Of an accomplished
angler. The Englishmen, as their boat
drew near, saw that he was battling
with a noble foe. When told who the
gentlemen were, Mr.. Hamlin called out:
"You must excuse me until / land this

therefore about half an hour, when the
Englishmen were able TO salute not only

of this record being lowered will depend en-

DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW.

The Condition OF business Considerably
Improved
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of trade
says:
The great relief I'm the money market in New
York caused by the Treasury purchases OF
AZ per cent. bonds, the refusal of the labor
federation to take up and extend the strike
on the Central Railroad, and the prospect
that the Senate Will soon reach final action
on the tariff bill have all tended to inn
prove the state of business. At the same
time better crop prospects have brought q
distinct reaction In the speculations which
most retarded exports. Thus, while tho
volume of domestic trade continues greater
than In any previous year at this season,
with bank clearings for August outside New
York exceeding last years by 81 per cent.
the outlook for the future is clearer and
brighter. Chicago reports money plenty at
per cent. on call and collections easy, q
better trade than last years In dry goods
and clothing, q reduction of IS per cent. In
Stock Yards business since the strike, n de-
crease of SO per cent. In wool compared with
last year, 20 per cent. In butter, and steady
decrease In dressed beef, but large increase
In cured meats, lard, cheese, cattle, hides,
and 100 per cent I'm hams.
