fury has so universally won the heart and
esteem of mankind as the late Mr.. Spur
geOn. and at the same time lived so event
full and interesting life. His career has
been full of signal surprises and remark
able occurrences.
Mr.. Conwell's personal familiarity with
Mr.. Sturgeon and his life. together with
his great ability as an author and popu-
larity as an orator and minister, is guar
antee to the public of brilliant, enter

CITY AND COUNTRY.

'sMore than at any time since the
imperial days of Rome. men are now
dwellers in cities, and cities grow to
enormous size" M. G.. Van Rensse
laer in the Century Magazine.
During the past years of stagnation
in real estate throughout the United
States, the impression has been almost
universal that a movement would not
begin in city real estate until after
farming lands had taken a boom.
This is doubtless true with regard to
local villages and county seat towns,
but with trade centers doing business
with large scope of territory, re
newed activity in farm and city real
estate is generally simultaneous.
Dodge City real estate, in fact, began
to change hands before the new move
ment in farm lands had materialized.
If this city had been much over built
during the boom period, it would have
been more backward in starting to
move again, but the better class of
dwellings, have never much exceeded
the demand. Shanties, and small,
shabby or inconvenient dwellings,
we're in excess of demand, but with
the returning tide of prosperity many
of these have been sold and converted
into barns, stables and hen houses,
while IN many cases two OF more were
joined together and improved upon to
make convenient and commodious
dwellings,. The supply of these is be
ing exhausted. A slight addition TO
our population will make it necessary
to build new dwellings. Then those
already constructed will bring high
rents or sell for good round premi-
um above cost Already choice resi-
dence sites are being picked up. Las,
week prominent real estate man of
our city offered non resident eighty
acres of nice. smooth land even up for
one hundred feet front in Shinn's Ad-
dition to Dodge City, both clear and
unencumbered. We are not advised
whether OF not the offer was accepted.
This illustrates the comparative val
ues. Very few store rooms are now
vacant, and those are rather outside
the avenues of commerce. 1t was not
SO one year ago, and in less than
twelve months new structures must
be put up to meet this growing de-
mand. Cultivated farm lands which
lay idle last year are now eagerly
sought after by renters and sales are
becoming more frequent every week
at gradually increasing prices with
every prospect for larger movement
as the season advances.

"Poor Child" said Mr.. livingstone,
and Miss Redding burst into tears.
There was no one to see. The porter

down beside her. gently drawing her
hands away from her face and holding
them clasped between his own over
