a CASE
I'm Which the Defendants Arc Sustained
in Violating Their Contract.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. -. Judge
Acheson, in the United States circuit
court, yesterday rendered an opinion
in favor of the defendants in the suit
of the National Harrow Co., of Jersey
City, n. j., against Hench x Drom-
boIdt, of York, Pa. The suit was
brought to enforce license contracts
for the manufacture and sale of nom
lever float spring to other harrows
and lever float spring to harrows.
The decision is important to the entire
harrow industry of the United States.
When the case was brought, attor-
neys for the prosecution commended
that the defendants, after joining a
combination which included practic-
ally all of the manufacturers of float
spring tooth harrows, violated their
agreements in a number of cases, and
that they sold harrows at less than
the prices fixed by the combination.
The defendants urged that the com.
plainant was an illegal combination
of manufacturers, and that the license
contracts were illegal, as being in re-
straint of trade. The decisi On sup
ports the contention of the defend

The glorious results of this seasons
harvest of golden grain will pour a stream
of sound money into the pockets of every
Dakota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands CT acres Of
choice farming and ranch land lying east Of
the Missouri river, and within one days
ride from Chicago or Milwaukee, which can
now be bought reasonably cheap, but which
before the end Of another year may be adj
vanced in price.
The stock raising industry in South Da-
kota is profitable, and eastern capital IS
now being invested in cattle and sheep
growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing Of live
stock, and the products OF The dairy, are
placing South Dakota foremost in the ranks
of the successful western states.

bride was Miss Lena Caldwell, the
wealthy heiress of Louisville, whose
sister, Miss Mary Gwcndolen Cald-

a Catholic university in Washington
practicable by 4 gift of $500, 600.
The marriage ceremony was the
first and only one ever celebrated in
the chapel of the Catholic university,
and most fttingly SO, as the bride had
built the chapel as a memorial to her
mother. The marriage ceremony was
attended only by the relatives of the
bride and the necessary witnesses,

Just previous to his marriage Baron

first took his bride. Since his return

BURNS WAS A PEN NAME.
The Habit Among Authors of Disgusting
Ones Real CoSnomen.

Almost every writer at the begin
ming of his career knows a t~repidation
and timiditv that makes him glad to
hide behind a "sobriquet,' or, as the
french usually call them, MONS de
ruerre." 1t might be thought that
these are chosen h~aphazard. Though
this may be so in some cases, it is usual
" otherwise. As much thought is often
expended in their construction rs was
ever devoted TO the title of n book.
Some adopt a nom de plume" because
of innate modesty; others through
moral fear of the public and critics; yet
Il larger class find 4 satisfaction in writ
ing over a name more suggestive, 1t may
be, or romantic than the original fam
iIv name. Sometimes the style and
Kind of work done by an author sug-
gests or decides the pseudonym, while,
in the great majority of cases, simply
that of a eurhonious or fanciful nam9
is desired.
The simplest forms-and these con-
stitute a goodly number-cOnsist of the
initials of the authors real name, such
as 81. Z. L." Uetitia Elizabeth Ian

la); and "B." 1.-THE late Lord Bramwell),
or some transportation of the real name,
such as "Dalmocand" FUSED by George
Macdonald), and Draw" which is SIM
plv Ward written backward. AS an
other example might be mentioned, the
famous prima donna, Nine. Trebelli,
whose real name was "Gillebert,' her
non de theatre being her surname
| spelIed backward, with the initial sc
omitted.
1t has been a favorite fancy with au'
thors to assume fictitious names upon
the initials of their own. Thus, Annie
Bronte wrote as "Acton Bell" Char
lotte Bronte as"Currer Bel" and Emily
Bronte as Ellis Bell" In all the wide
field of literature can three other suci
ilIustrious names be found belonging
TO one family? 1t is a scarcely known
fact that Robert Burns was Il nom de
plume, that Scotch poets name being
Robert Burmese, but it has by right Of
usage become the family name, as IL
the case of Sir Henry Irving and Henry
NJ. Stanley
1t is not unusual for lady writers
who desire to cultivate n masculine

GOOD masculine name would carry con
viction, to adopt names of the opposite
sex. Mrs. Henry Wood used to write

Interesting Facts About the "Indiae
We'd" Now Being Harvested-The Crop
One of the Largest in Yield of Highest
Uniformity in Quality Ever Gathered
Outlook for Prices Better.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 20.-The
American Agriculturist, in its issue
for this week, says:
Mere than half of the cigar leaf to-
bacco crop grown in the United States
has been safely housed, and up to date
returns show it to be one of the high
est in uniform quality and largest in
yield per acre ever harvested. There
were 20, 900 planters of the crop this
year. compared with $1,000 in 1892,
Tvhile about 63, 900 acres were devoted
to cigar leaf this year, compared to
loo, OOO in 1892. This is exclusive of
Florida, where leaf of a particularly
fine quality has been produced by ex-
pericnced native and Cuban planters.
IL the new unharvested crop aver
ages N yield and quality with that al
ready cut, the American Agriculture
ist expects the crop will equal PA, 900
acres. The proportion of crop suita-
bic for wrapper leaf promises to be
large. The outlook for prices is bet
ter than for several years-for old
leaf, because of the decreased supply
and increased demands; for this years
crop because of it's promise of superb
quality and comparatively small
amount. Consumption is on the in.
crease, the taxes paid for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1890, being on
q, 236, COG, 900 cigars, and 4,4O2, OOO, OOl
cigarettes.
American Agriculturist reports Gu
ban stock of old leaf as practically ex-
hausted, and the crop this year and
the next must be small. A large part
OF the wrapper Leaf grown in Suma'
ira has been unfit for this market,
over forty per cent. of imports OF
these wrappers having been shipped
back the past year as not suited to the
American demand. Dealers are eau,
6iOus in contracting for the new crop.
The general tendency among dealer:
is to wait until after the election.

GREAT
Over the Finding of the Body of Paul
Rose, IA Wealthy

Rose, n he3Atny StOCAilth'
SIDNEY, Ncb.. Aug. 2l.-The people
of kimball county are greatly excited
over the finding Of the body of Paul
Rose, the Weld county Coli stock
man, who mysteriously disappeared
on July -. On that day Rose left
home on horseback in company with
two friends in search of some missing
cattle, the friends being on their way
to Cheyenne. As he did not return
when expected, his parents concluded
he had accepted the invitation of his
friends and gone with them to Chey-
eRnc.
This theory however, was wrong.
The trail of the missing cattle was
found and followed, and the cattle
identified in possession of d. y. Coch-
ran, I reputed cattle rustler OF KIM
ball, near the Sioux county line.
Cochran was arrested and taken to
Greeley, Col. and Il thorough search
made for the body of Rose. Jack Ell
lott, detective for the Colorado Stock
association, found the body carefully
buried, face downward. about two and
Il half fectdeep and near by in another
hole was found the saddle and bride
from Roses horse.
The body was found about forty
miles from the Rose ranch and it is
supposed that young Rose was either
killed near home and his body carried
to the place of burial or that he was
caught, tied to his horse and taken by
force to this place and then killed.
Cattle rustlers are charged with the
murder and Il vigorous effort will be
made to capture them. Rose is highly
