Wonder land
1901

the annual publication of the
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY
will be found distinct advance,
in some respects, upon even it's
immediate predecessor Wonder
land 1900.
Its cover designs and eight
chapter headings are by Alfred
LEM, of New York, from plaStiuue
models and are splendid examples
of art.
There is within the covers of
the book much historical matter,
some of it new, as well as purely
descriptive narrative.
The three principal chapters re-
late to the history of the unique
NORTHERN PACIFIC TRADEMARK,
the CUSTER BATTLEFIELD in
Montana, and YELLOWSTONE
PARK. Each is profusely illus
trated, the Trademark chapter in
colors. This trademark is of
Chinese origin and is 5000 years
old. Its story is strange one.
1t is safe to say that WONDER
LAND 1891 will be in greater de-
mand than any preceding volume
of the Wonderland family, and,
as heretofore it will be sent by
Chas. S. Fee, st. Paul, Mimi, to
any address upon receipt of the
postage, Sir cents.

nouncement was surprise to the
dense throng of listeners is putting
it mildly. To say that it was re-.
ceiyed with incredulity by part of the
soidiery, and concern, if not keen an
Prehension, by old friends of Sandy,s
father who We're present, is but a
faint description Of the effect of the

To nine out of ten among the assem-
bly, the young officer was total
stranger. To more than nine out of
ten the Identification of the dead as
Walter Foster, Maidie Rays luckless
lover, was already complete, and
many men who have made up their
minds are incensed at those who dare
to differ from them.
True. Mr.. stuyvesant had said that
the sentry, No. 6, did not remind him
except in stature, form, and posi-
bly, in features, of the recruit he
knew as Foster on the train. He did
not speak like him. But, when close
ly questioned by the legal adviser of
the provost-marshaps department,
the officer who conducted most of the
examination with much of the man
ner OF q prosecuting attorney, Mr..
Steuyvesant admitted that he had
only seen Foster once to speak to,
and that was at night In the dim light
OF the Sacramento station on what
might be called the off-side of the
train, where the shadows were heavy.
and while the face of the young SOL
der was partially covered with a
bandage. Yet Vinton attached i'm
Portance to his aide-de-camp's opin-
ion. and when Ray came out fat
footed, as it were, in support of stuy-
vesant's views, the general was vis-
IDLY gratified.
But, except for these very few, Ray
had spoken to unbelieving ears

But before the examiners could de-

Vinton went over, bent, and whis-

looked up, nodded, and glanced to-

RAILWAY RuMBLEs.

Great Britain can build 1900 loco.
motives year, against 1900 for the
rest of Europe.
1t requires more than 100 gallons
of oil year to keep the largest loco
motive in smooth running order.
Building railroads in old Mexico is
difficult business. The mountains
stand in the way and render con-
struction both difficult and expensive.
DR., w. Seward Webb, first vice pres
ident of the New York Central &,
Hudson River railroad, made the trip
from San Francisco to New York in
70 hours.
The police department of the New
York Central railroad in its last an
nual report shows that 1890 men
have been arrested on the premises
of the company, of whom 1,70o were
sent to prison for terms of one to
six months.

MARRIAGE IS A COMMUNICATIONS.
Agreement of Third Party as lnducement
to Marriage Can BE Enforced.

to Marriage Can BE Enforced.
Des Moines, Oct. 21.-The supreme
court, by affirming the case. Amy Il.
Wright Vs. 1k-~Wfight, appealed
from Ottumwa, declares that the
agreement of third person, not q
party to a marriage, made as an
inducement to said marriage, can be
enforced in law.
Defendant, wealthy farmer,
agreed in advance of the wedding
that his son should marry her and
support her child; that in event of
his son failing to provide for them
property he would guarantee COM
Portable home for them for five years.
Tire marriage accordingly took
place and the son of +. ii. Bright
lived with plaintiff and child for two
years, at which time he deserted her.
The plaintiff then asked the defend
ant to support herself and child, as
agreed. He refused to comply with
the--reaulesta setting up as defense
that any contract IS Invaru a-us~....s
public policy and that in this case
there was lack of consideration.
The lower court gave a verdict Of
$3.50, which was at the rate of SIS per
week. The plaintiff had asked for
81 per week.
In affirming the lower court, the
supreme court says the promise of
n third party, as an inducement to
two others to marry. is not contrary
to public policy and that the mar
riage itself constituted valuable
consideration.
