important supreme court DeClS1On.
Under the provisions of the new law al
lowing decisions of the supreme court to
be announced in vacatiOnAthe first opinion
was filed with the clerk Thursday. 1t was
the case OF John G. Keith, plaintiff and re-
%spondent, vs.. John E. Haggart, defendant
and appellant, on appeal from Cass county.
Messrs Ball & Smith appeared for the re-
spondent and Messrs Pollock d Young for
the appellant. The opinion is by Judge
Bartholomew and the following syllabus is
filed:
l. Where the undisputed evidence
shows that a creditor requested security
from his debtor and promised by letter to
give security, but mentioned no property
upon which such security would be given,
and subsequently a chattel mortgage from
the debtor to the creditor was filed in the
= proper office and The creditor at once mott
fed by the debtor of such filing, n the
creditor accepted such security and pro.
cured a certified copy of the mortgage.
Held, as between the mortgagee and an ex-
ecutiOn, creditor of the mortgagor, whose
lien on the property did O. attach until
months after the mortgage was filed, that
there was no question as to delivery and
acceptance Of the mortgage to be submit
ted to the Jury.
2. In an action between the mortgagee
and the representative Of a creditor OF the
mOrtgagor whose debt existed prior to the
execution OF the mortgage where it was
claimed that mortgage was void under the
statute as against the creditor because lot
properly witnessed, and therefore not en-
titled to record, where the only evidence
that the mortgage was witnessed by the
parties whose names appeared thereon as
witnesses came from a witness against
whom the other party introduced impeach-
ing testimony, INC where the evidence
tended to show that one of the parties
whose names appeared as witnesses left
the Territory of Dakota two days before
the mortgage was executed n did not
afterwards return. Held, That the court
erred in refusing to submit to the jury the
question of the proper execution of the
mortgage.
8. The testimony of a witness whose
only knowledge Of the value of a certain
article on a certain date is derived from
inspection of an entry written in pencil In
the day book OF a party in no name con-
nectei with the action, where it is not
shown by whom such entry was made or
when it was made, or that the party max
ing it had any knowledge Of the market
value or such articles, is not competent to
establish the value of such article.
Reversed and a new trial ordered.

The Western Settlers Chosen specidc.

With every advance Of emigration into the
far West, q new demand is created for Hostel
ter's m Bitters. Newly peopled regions
are frequently less salubrious than older set
tied localities. on account Of the miasma
which rises from recently cleared land, par
ticularly along the banks OF rivers that are
subject to freshcts. The agricultural or min
ing emigrant soon learns, when he does not
already know that the Bitters afford the only
sure protection against malaria, and those dis
orders OF the stomach, liver and bowels, to
which climatic changes, exposure, and unac
customedo or unhealthy water or diet subject
him. Consequently, he places an estimate
upon this great household specific and pre-
ventive commensurate with Its intrinsic mer.
it's, and is careful to keep on hand a restorative
and promoter Of health 80 implicitly to be
relied upon in time of need.

Good Wives for Good Dakotans.

Here is something for good, honest
North Dakota manageable young men,
who find a scarcity of manageable young
ladies in this new country. The other day
the Philadelphia Star contained the fol-
lowing:
A farmer in Bismarck, North Dakota,
sends out the following wall for women
but it is doubtful it it will be needed:
ave need money and water in Dakota, but
what we need worse is women. There
isn't half enough of the dear creatures to
60 around, and until this is changed Da-
kOta will never amount to much. 10
make a good state you must have homes.
Men can 20 out there and break enough
land to farm without a wife, but l tell you
he gets mighty lonesome after a while,
and when q bad season strikes him he gets
discouraged, and the chances are he packs
up and quits. If he had a wife and little
ones. their cheering words would encour-
age him, and most likely he would come
out a winner in the end. There is plenty
of women inethe east-more than there is
men. [ suppose they want husbands.
They ought to 20 to Dakota. They'd, find
q husband there sure. They amt ude
Or bankers, but they're good, honest boys,
and would make the very best husbands,
l know how it is myself, for l have had a
hard grind all by myself for the last five
years. But I'll be all right pretty soon for
I'll be married to an Ohio girl before the
week IS over.
This evidently struck the eye of some
thoughtful, sympathetic young female
longing, possibly, for the same thing de-
sired by the young North Dakota farmer
"a home, a helpmate, a companion. The
following letter, enclosing the above clip
ping, received by the TRIBUNE, will ex-
plain itself:
PHILADELPHIA, March 7, 1891.
= Seeing the enclosed article in a copy of
this evenings Star, [ write to say that it
such be the case, and you make an an
swer to this, I can introduce, at least, six
young ladies of refined, respectable fam.
lilies who, if they would meet congeniat
companions, would make good house
wives, but they would have to be refined
aud of good habits, and of the Protestant
faith. These young ladies IN question are
rather good looking, and are sensible, or
,dinarily educated, n honest in all their
dealings. So, if you answer this, you may
expect a reply of some kind. We are
truly sincere in this matter, as we prefer
sensible men and not dudes. II you will,
would like a photograph, be it ever SO
small, and you will get one in return
Now to be honest in the matter, l will send
an assumed name for the present, and VIII

Bismarck Il Stock Market.

The partial failure of the wheat crop
on the Missouri slope the past few years
has caused the majority of farmers to 20
into stock. For the past four years wheat
has been uncertain, not because the soil
is not adapted to wheat culture, but be-
cause of insuficiency of moisture.
Drought has been a serious obstacle, and
has turned the mind of many a farmer
as regards the profits to be gained in
farming. In the early part of 1890 there was
sufficient rain, and prospects were bright.
The farmers smiled, and thought at last
their confidence in wheat raising was to BIZ
restored, but July brought disaster. Be-
ginning on the 3rd day of July, a hot
wind swept over the then beautiful wheat
just beginning to take on the golden hue,
and it faded beneath the scorching sun.
The result was about half a crop, or about
half the average of previous crops. This
uncertainty has produced decided change
in the manner of farming on the Missouri
which the farmer turned. Horses were
next tried, with as much satisfaction as
good cows had given. Sheep were known
to have proven valuable property in other
new states, and CONSEQUENTLY the last
year has witnessed a heavy increase
in the transportation of sheep to North Da-
kota. the Missouri slope III particular.
Since the establishment OF large herds of
cattle throughout the western half of the
state, markets and shipping points have
sprung up. Bismarck has been an i'm
portant point from the beginning. For
miles and miles in all directions cattle are
driven to this point for shipment.
The first car load this seasO will be
shipped to-day by John J. Robinson of
Mclean county. Last fall Mr.. Robinson
secured the contract to furnish beef for the
Fort Berthold Indian agency Inc began to
purchase cattle to fill the same. After the
farmers of Mclean were convinced they
could dispose of their stock at very salts
factory prices they began to invest more
heavily and the result is MI. Robinson has
established a market and will ship several
car loads from Bismarck this year. The
first consignment is to Chicago.

Hundreds Drowned in Their Beds II
the Province of Toledo.


the Province OF Toledo.
MADRID, Sept 15.-The floods which have
caused SO much damage have been general
in the south Of Spain. Several railroad
trains have been derailed and railroad
tracks and roads are everywhere washed
away. In the province of Toledo the rush
OF water from the Consugeria river was so
sudden and unexpected that hundreds OF
people were drowned in their beds. The
aspect OF the town is frightful Four hum
dred bodies have already been recovered and
at least hundred corpses can be seen
hoatlng in the swollen rivers. A national
relief fund has been opened and all the
newspapers announce that they are ready
to receive donations. The wine and grain
crops have been destroyed throughout the
Hooded sections of the country. The towns
OF Urada, thirty miles from Toledo: Villa
Franco. twenty miles from st. Sebastien:
Camuanaa BAnez, twenty one miles from
Toledo, aud Vera have suffered heavily,
Troops and corps OF citizens are doing their
utmost e. succor the sufferers. Thousands
OF families are homeless and starving. Re-
lief trains are being dispatched to the
scenes of the disaster.
APPALLING IN THE EXTREME,
The accounts from Consugeria are ap-
palling In the extreme. The town IL heap
of ruins, surrounded by vast expanse OF
water. leaving visible here aud there tree
tops, chimneys and floating wreckage Of all
kinds. Some Of the streets have
been partially cleared and made passahle
but they are almost deserted. The police
have suppressed the pilage which was rife
at one time. Food is arriving for the suf-
ferers. With the constant discovery Of
fresh corpses it will be long before the
mournful task is ended IL is estimated
that 5000 head of horses and stock
hava been drowned. One man who was
caught on wooden bridge saw hundreds
OF persons hoat past. crying piteously for
help, which he was unable to give. The
bodies Of sixty persons were found in a pub
lie hall, where they had been overtaken by
the Hood In the midst of a wedding feast.
FURTHER DAMAGE THREATENED.
The overlooking OF the Consoguiera
threatens to cause further damage. Two
thirds of the houses practically DESTROYED
are still standing, but their foundations are
sapped aud they threaten to fall auy mo-
ment. The families saved frem drowning
are camped near their dwellings and are
In the greatest distress from want of food.
An estimate, which is within rather than
over the actual number, places the total Of
the death list at 1000 Large numbers
OF corpses still rest where they were found.
Unless they are soon inferred an
epidemic of fever is feared. The
municipal and government authorized are
exerting themselves 20 the utmost in order
TO relieve the extreme distress. Many OF
the bodies are entirely nude, showing that
they must have been washed from their
beds, or else in the hurry TO escape, must
have jumped in night dress from the win
dows of their habitations only to meet death
| in the swollen waters.
