DUDE RANCH
In North Dakota Sold to New
Yorker for $4,000.
Was Once Used With Success
For the Reformation of Eas-
tern Young Men.

Many a son Of well-to-do family
IN the East will read with interest
the announcement that the Eaton
ranch at Medora, N. D., once we'll
known as the dude ranch, has
been sold, says a Lincoln, Neb.,
correspondent. The purchaser of
this property is New Yorker.
The ranch is situated at the
crossing OF the Little Missouri
River, along what is known as the
Custer trail. The first owners. the
Eatons, came from Pittsburg.
For a number Of years they en-
gagged in the buying of wild an
imals, such as bear, elk and deer.
for Eastern parks and menageries.
1t was a profitable occupation,
buffalo being carried for a time as
side line.
While one of the Eatons was pay
ing a visit to his home in the East,
an old friend asked him as a per-
sonal favor, to take Charge of his
hayward youth, in the hope that
in the West, away from metropoli-
tan temptations, he might make a
man of himself. Eaton readily
az greed.
This gave him an idea as to the
possibilities of the dude traffic.
Many Eastern families of wealth
had sons who were giving them
more or less anxiety and worry at
home, and summer in the West
appealed to them as a good thing.
Thereafter, the Eatons looked out
for such visitors.
The young men looked upon it as
great lark, and came West in
droves. The Eatons boarded them,
furnished them with horses, guns
and all necessary accoutrements
and organized personally conduct
ed excursions in the way of hunt
ing, range riding, roundups and
the like
Upon the range they erected Z
great, long building, divided by
partitions into small rooms, in each
of which was a bunk and whatever
furniture was necessary. This be.
came known to the cowboys as the
"dude pen, and here the visitors
slept
Sometimes one summer was
enough for them, but some OF then
remained, secured capital from
home and to-day are among the
substantial men of the state. They
were a constant source of amuse
ment to the cowboys of the range
largely from their fondness for i'm
mense hats. big revolvers, rattle
snake belts and leather "chaps.
Hundreds OF young men got theil
only taste of the life of the range or
the Eaton ranch, but in time the
supply of young men ran short and
in recent years the place has beer
devoted to the more of less prosaiC
life of the region. The place
brought $4,000.

VALUE OF TRAVEL.
Helps Us to See Ourselves as Others

See Us.
There is no study SO fascinating
and so profitable as the study Of
the peoples of the earth, says the
FOur-Track News. In the mirror
of mankind We can best see orr
selves, and by the rules a cOmpar-
isOn and Of contrast view our own
strength and weakness; our own
cOmmendable traits and deplOr-
able faults. The man whose eth
biological education, gained by ac-
tual contact with different nation.
alities, places him in command Of
this knowledge is best equipped
to master many of the problems Of
life, and especially to comprehend
all great international questions.
Pope tells us that the proper
study of mankind is man." and
that man who has carefully stud
led mankind. is the man whom
other men most desire TO meet.
The traveller who has seen and
studied the different nations of
the earth is never at loss for an
audience, and if he has had the de
sire and the capacity to look below
tho Surfacq for the cauSeS which
have produced national effects, he
can command the earnest atten-
zion of all thinking men. BY tray
ell we do not only see other nations
and read their history in the lives
of the people themselves, but we
learn to more correctly estimate
Our>own position in the family of
nations by seeing ourselves as
others see us.

Mr.. Charles Marshall, who fol.

bed early last Thursday morning.
A physician was called aud stated
that life had probably been ex-
tinct fer two hours.
The death was at the home OF
Miss Jennie Marshall, sister OF
Mrs. Marshall. Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
shall had gone there to spend the
night-the sister. Miss Jennie Mar
shall, has been quite i'll with par
alysis.
Deceased had not been in good
health for several years, and for
three weeks past had been suffer
ing with lumbago and rheumatism
1t is supposed his late affliction
went to the heart, causing instant
death.

j. j. JordOn a farmer living on
the old Cullen place near Madison.
vile, committed suicide Tuesday
morning by shooting himself with
a shotgun, says the Times. Mr..
JordOn had been resident of this
county but a few months, coming
here from Iowa. Il is said that be
hhad been in an insane. asylum be-
fore moving here. 1t seems from
what we can learn that he thought
that there was some probability of
losing the farm which he had pur-
chased thru an old deed of trust
that he knew nothing about at the
time he bought the farm, and this
so preyed on his mind that he be-
came deranged. He leaves a large
family.
The Times comments: We know
sot who has sunk so low in the
depths of drunkenness that he
walks about the streets with his
head log hung, his snaky eyes bent
down, aud his rum-soaked soul
filled with but one desire-rum.
He is stumbling on the rocks at
the end of drunkard's lane. Poor
fool; he was warned at the begin
ming that the way was rough, but
he'would not hear. Once his feet
trod the carpeted aisles of a church
Of God; once his voice led in prais-
es OF our Creator; he was honored
in the secret society where he once
held a responsible office. Once his
township hOnOred him by present
ing his name to the voters of the
county and asked that he be placed
in an Office requiring great legal
ability. And, in home where ioy
and happiness dwelt, he ruled as
lord of all. But he moves about
with dull, mechanical step, a stran-
ger among those who have forgot
ten that he ever existed except as
slave to drink. Now if the poor
sot could but know sober mo-
ment when his miud, teeming with
retrOspection, living but for mo-
ment in the happy past, would he
not ask, is it worth the while
is there joy enough in the wine
cups glow to pay for the loss of
the love that is dead-fOr the
power now gone forever!" Veal
When the insiduOus poison of the
wine cup enters into the desire of
man, it leaves no room for any
thing that is good. Boys, if you
can drink or let it alone" better
let it alone. This is but brief
history of one drunkard's life. The
misery and suffering of the wife
and only child could not be told in
so few words. To them it is left
to suffer alone, always keenly
alive to the blight of their lives,
but the cause of the evil can
drown his remorse in the oblivion

cal of Christ's three years minis

of His work. Married in 1870, typ
ical of seventy weeks the children
of Judea and Israel were in captiv-
ity; seven children typical of the
seven churches in Asia; seven
grandchildren, typical of seven

Jewell Null, of Mexico, Mo. -,
fiagman on the Alton passenger
from st. Louis, due in Kansas
City at 9:2O o'clock, was missed
from the train when it reached
the Union depot last night. He
had been seen by the conductor at
the Second aud Grand station, but
disappeared.
Members of the train crew start
ed back down the track to look for
him, and met him walking into
the station. His hands were cut,
his clothing torn and he carried
portions of two badly mashed Ian
terms in his hand. He said he had
left the train near the Grand av-
enue station with his lanterns, and
in running to catch it again stun
bled and fell down an embank
ment to the Missouri Pacific
tracks, eight feet below. A passing
switch engine ran over the Ian
terms as he held them in his hand
