Suffer as a Business Nan.


Nearly everybody who came to California
made il point TO reach Suffers Fort. Sntter
was one Of the most liberal and hospitable Of
men. Everybody was welcome-one man or
a hundred, it was all the same. He had pecu-
liar traits; his necessities compelled him 70
take all he could buy, and he paid all he could
pay; but he failed 10 keep up with his pay
ments. And so he soon found himself i'm
mensely-almOst hopelessly-involyed in debt.
His debt 20 the Russians amounted at first TO
something near 100000. Interest increased
apace. He had agreed TO pay in wheat, but his
crops failed. He struggled in every way, SOW
ing large areas to wheat, increasing his cattle
aud horses, and trying to build a Touring mill.
He kept his launch running TO and from the
bay, carrying down hides tallOw. furs, wheat,
etc, returning with lumber sawed by hand in
the redwood groves nearest the bay, and other
supplies. On an average il took a month 20
make trip. The fare for each person was five
dollars, including board. Suffer started many
other new enterprises in order to find relief
from his endorsements; but in spite Of all
he could DO, these increased. Every year found
him worse and worse Off but IL was partly his
own fault. He employed men-not because he
always needed aud could proftably employ
them, but because in the kindness OF his heart
il simply became a habit to employ everybody
who wanted employment. As long as he had
anything he trusted anyone with everything
he wanted-TespOnsible or otherwise, acquaint-
ances and strangers alike.

RED WILLOW COUNTY, NEB.
Another Statement as 10 the Condition OF Affairs
There.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue Of
Oct. NJ. b. Brown, Co. IL, 9TH No. Cav. makes
statements as 10 this tRed Willow County,
Neb., which arc misleading While il is true
we have suffered severely with the hot winds
this season, nearly every farmer who put in
wheat viii have enough for his flour, and
many will have some 10 sell. The yield was
very small and some not worth harvesting
oats, rye and corn were failures except an
occasional piece Of corn. For stock hogs
Nessrs. Thompson & Phillip tell me they have
not offered less than $3.50 per 100 pounds and
have paid as high as 500 per 100 pounds; that
some pigs under - 10 100 pounds have been
sold az 81 - per 100 pounds. The mill here is
paying 60 20 30 cents a bushel for wheat.
That times are close is very true, but so far
there is no great amount Of suffering. There
Is considerable broom corn in the County, that
is being held for higher prices. NJ. l.. Knip-
pie Of this place, is retailing potatoes at $l.3O
per bushel. Eastern holders Of farm mortgages
here arc treating the people very fairly, very
few insisting on the payment Of interest notes
due in July aud since tie same being true OF
Eastern manufacturers Of farm implements.
The banks here are lOan!ng money 10 those
who have a reputation for fair dealing at one
per cent per month. A good many have gone
from this and adjoining Counties 20 where they
can get work, especially 10 the Black Hills
country aud the railway extensions from Den
yer, and some, as we say out here, have gone %
see their wife's folks" An irrigating ditch 70
miles long is being dug in Chase, Hayes and
Hitchcock Counties which is giving employ
mcni 70 good many men and teams, prefer
euce being given TO those who have had a fail
ure Of crops.
There has been more corn fodder put up this
year than for some years before ia this County,
and unless We should have an extra hard Win
Ser there Is fair prospect that stock may be
| carried through the Winter ia nearly as good
shape as heretofore. As 10 money coming into
the country, there has been and are buyers FOR
the hogs and cattle the farmer is unable 10
keep at some price anyway, which beats no
money except what the soldiers are getting

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Should the

nue., the United States would have 10 raise the

ATLANTA, Ga, June 20.-L. Guy Har-
ris and Miss Susie Walker, both of Spar
tanburg, s. c., were married at the
Mansion house in Greenville, at $3.50
Wednesday morning, by Rev. l. L. Bass,
of Darlington, 8. @. About three years
ago Mr.. Harris and Miss Walker, who
were IL and IA years of age respectively,
surprised their friends and parents by
getting married. They went to the resi-
dence Of the groom's father after the
ceremony, where they remained only a
few minutes, when the brides father
came and induced her to go home with
him. Her father kept her at home a few
days, and then carried her to northern
convent, where she remained for two
years, Since her return she has not
been allowed to see her husband, her
father claiming that they were both un-
der the legal age, and the marriage was
void.
Through the aid of friends they have
carried on correspondence for some
time, which resulted in an arrangement
being made for an elopement and mar
riage. The brides father, Col. James
Walker, being absent from home, Miss
Walker made her escape and was Joined
by Mr.. Harris, his sister and a lady
friend. They hurried to the depot and
caught the west-bound Richmond and
Danvills railroad train for Greenville.
They telegraphed for clergyman to
meet them ON their arrival, but on the
way grew nervous, and seeing Rev.
Mr.. Bass aboard, engaged his services,
and the ceremony was performed.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, June 20.-It is
settled that the Minneapolis census must
be taken over In making the seven ar
rests for making fictitious entries several
sacksfuls of the returns were taken from
Minneapolis to st. Paul and locked up
for use as evidence. William Pitt Muir
ray, the st. Paul attorney, who made
the affidavits on which the arrests were
made says the disclosures are astound-
ing, and that $4,000 or more fictitious
names have been entered upon the lists.
One of the detectives who made the
search for crooked work said:
Lists of names were preferred in the
foreign languages most likely to be
met with, the surnames in another.
With the sheets it was a matter of ease
to shift Christian names from one sur
name to another, and thus create a
fictitious parsonage supply him with a
wife, and if desirable with whole
family. With list Of vacant houses
with unoccupied rooms, it was a matter
of trifling moment to furnish him with
a home. Lists of laborers in various
parts Of the state were obtained from
the pay rolls of lumbermen and from
the records of employment agencies
"These were located in vacant houses,
and if vacant names were also copied
from directories in other cities and
from tombstones in cemeteries. From
one employment agency 1000 names of
men who had applied for work within
six or eight months were obtained. and,
to cap the climax, 800 cognomens were
obtained from a tramps lodging house
and the 800 were provided with wives
and children"
