A number of other prominent citizens will be identified with the com pany at its organisation. The capital Hook is facd at f 100,000 , with the articles stipulated that it may be increased to $1,000,000 if the corporation desire. The articles have been ofiicially approved in regard to their compliance with law , aud business will be commenced at once. THE Kirrnix or MATTISH. Deputy Sheriff Langdon has returned from l > cs Moinc ? , bringing with him the man Mattisc , who is wanted here to an swer to the charge of wrongfully convert ing property to his own use , 'J he deputy found his man in the custody of the sher iff at les ) Moincs , bat Mattisc had secured an attorney who was just about to get him out on n writ of habeas corpus. The deputy , however , had not gone that far to be euchred out of his man in that way , and so opportunity was taken to get the prisoner from jail the back way and to the depot without the knowledge of Mat- ti e's attorney , and he was rushed back to Nebraska on the first train. LICITCNANT GOVfilZNOIt SIIEDP , who is not a candidate for governor , but who is in the hands ol his friendsfor a re- nomination for his present position , was at the state capital yesterday. Mr. Shedd remarked that he was doing no campaign work and that politics were very quiet in Saundcrs county , and no forecast could " be civen of the" county in congressional matter * . "Senator Vim Wyck's speech at Ashlund Saturday was very largely at tended , " remarked Mr Shedd , "and it seeme.d to give very good satisfaction. considering all reports that were heard. " The lieutenant governor said that the senator had a good deal of strength in his locality , and that their county con vention would be held iu two weeks. AT Till : STATE HOUSE. Governor Da v cs yesterday appointed Charles C. Bundy commissioner of deeds at Washington , D. C. What tlie emolu ments of the position are or who Mr. Unndy may be was not determined. Auditor Babcock was subpojnaud lo ap pear in court at 2\orth Platte yesterday to show from the records in his office what report n bank in that place made a year or two ago. The bank or some of its officials seem to be in a law suit. Professor Jonas went out to Minden yesterday for institute work , and from there he goes to Hastings. Secretary of State Roggon was yesterday enjoying the camp meetinc services at Bennett THE HETCKN Ol' THE BAbE BALUSTS from their Omaha excursion was the pre cursor of an era of congratulations such as enthusiasts in this line have not enjoyed - joyed in any measure heretofore this auason. 'When the sir coach loads ot excursionists departed for Omaha to wit ness the contest between the Lin coin club nnd the Union Pacifies , victory was ns much as they hoped for , but when they returned bearing a record of whitewash ing their opponents their joy knew no pounds. Some of the excursionists have not returned yet , and thplr nnxions . friends are beginning to inquire as to the attractions that hold them three days at the metropolis. ] > OXKRS OF A. DC1O , PAT.

Dodd's instrument of war was a fJung-shot , made out of a rock tied in a handkerchief , und a sight of his victim's head showed it a good instru ment for execution. Three tough females disgraced the prisoners' row before Judge Parsons yns- terday and answered to the crime ol keeping houses of ill-fame and of beinj ; drunk and disorderly. They were all promptly fined and went in search of funds to secure freedom. 1 1 Elizabeth Gust&fsen swore to & complaint - plaint yesterday asking for the arrest of John Cain for using obscene and abusive language. A warrant was issued on the complaint and placed in the hands of an ofileer to servo. L. Wagner made complaint in police circles yesterday lor the arrest of a party , presumably John Doe , who had made away with his watch. The tickur had been recovered and the culprit wus re manded to jail for trial. Tlie next Western league club to cross bats with tnc Linoolnb ou the home grounds is the Denver , and as it is in the lead in the leaguu , interesting games are expected. There isnoto&e man in ten in Lin coln who believes the nail works have any idea of coming Irom Omaha to tin. Tilace. , and little public attention is given to the mattw. It is statud , however , that the proprietors of west Linooln and the stock yards have taken the matter in hand and arc working It up. There is need of reform in the handling of inalla in the post office hero , aud then is altogether too much mixture and wrong handling of xntU matter among some of the clerks. People make allow ance for a grcht many errors , but long continuance i n them makes forbearance cea e to bo n virtue This is a hint , bu1 some records are liable to follow. An employe at the salt well says n new boiler of much greater capacity has beec received by the contractor aud is being placed in position. New machinery foi the work is also expected this week , und the old machinery is to bo taken dowr and sh'ppod ' to Kansas City.

HI * Vole nnd Influence In the latnrc Purchased Time and A train Specimens of Howe's Desrcjv- utnlilc Record. LTXTOLS , Neb. . A gt"t 15 - ( Cor- rwpBmle oe of the BEE. ] Cknroli Howe has several times managed te hoodwink ll iwople in his OWE ewinry , and by braron denials and false pretetis s , has manaecd , skillfully , to array local in terest * Sfnin.-t e ch other by playing fast ami IOOMI on oounty teat removal , Mis souri Pacific railroad location ? and town- site scheme ; ; . He hus traded nnd bought his way into the lepi.'lature on all sorts of ticket * . But now. when he name ? a candidate for Congress from a district , in which the two largfit cities of the state arc located , and in which there is one-half of the wealth of the state and n population of not lcs than 250,000 , ho cannot expect lo succeed by methods which have given him control of Ncmaha county. It si-ems to me it is time that a man with his dis reputable record should not be coun tenanced in his unholy ambition to repre sent the first district , and practically. Nebraska , in the national legislature. To present one-tenth of the disreputable transactions and dishonest deals which compose C'hnreh HoweV career in Ne braska , would be a task which 1 cannot even attempt. There has hardly been a single session of the legislature the past ten years that that maulias not made MKICrHAXIUSE Or IltM&EL ] ' , and coi rupted others. Many other renal trades have been covered up. The bribe civer under our laws is us culpable as the bribe taker , and only in exceptional in stances arc Mich transactions brought to light. But * o bold and audncious had Church grown in his raids , that of late years he has not even taken the trouble to conceal his tracks. 1 will cite only a few of the instances which have scandal . izcd the.stnte. As a receiver and disburser - burser of boodle Church Howe hud gained considerable notoriety in his own county cvt-n , outside of the legisla ture. People in N emah a oonnry will doubt less remember tlio scandal created by Howe when he appeared as an "adjuster" between the United States and a violator of the revenue law. In Broivnville , some time in the year of ' 75 , one Henry Cohn , of the firm of Gill & Cohn , had a number of cigare. seized by revenue otlicers. The storv was that upon hearing of the mat ter Howe immediately volunteered his services to assist in getting Cohn out of the trouble. UUAVEWAXTEN SOME MONEY , which Cohn gave him , but as the scheme Howe had set failed to work , Cohn re lated the story to several citizens ol Brownville. The paper of the town pub lished the lacth in the case , and as they were _ very damaging to Howe , he imme diately , so it is chuimid , wrote a letter , getting Cohn to si rii it. in which Cohn denied each and every allegation. This called forth an affidavit , "the following being an extract , sicnod by a number ot goou citizens : - * * * That Church Howe went to said Colin at the time hciirars \ were seized by United States levenue olliecrs , In the spring of lii.i , and protteiod his assistance to pro cure the release ol his clcntt > : that at that time Church Howe sale lie had once been a United Statvs officer , and that if he ( Coha ) would che him two hundred dollars , he ( Uottt ) would make ati effort to RO and set ; the cigurs released. That then Cobu. believ ing 11 that could be done it \ \ oultl be the least expensive way of release from his diffi culties , drew a ch rk ID Mr. Howe's name lor the Hum of S oa , that Mr. Uowe tool ; the check , and he and Mr. Cobn separated. That alter Mr. Howe had been gone lor a time he called again on Mr. Henry Cohn. and said the telcasc of the cigars could not be effected in Brownville , but might be In Owahn , and that as he. Church Howe , could not at tnat time go to 0 111 all a , he returned tut check to Henry Cohn. Commenting upon the matter , the edi tor of the Advertiser said : It was simply because alter "feeling" the officers he concluded \\onld not be sale to ' talk of money , " and kept tlie check in his pocket , knowing that those officers had no proper power to release the ciqars , aud that inonev could onlv be talked of in the light of a bribe. Or elw he Intended to secure the release of the cigars , by a smooth story about Cohn's ignorance ot the lew. and then keep the 233 lor his own posket chance. That ho intended one or the either ol these two things , and more likely the latter , there is no doubt in the world , nnd the wholesale , out rageous lying of his triends and -workers Cannot avoid tlii ; judgment ot a fair-minded people nor save Mi. Howe from the penalty ol s > ucU a judciiifinu From the above affidavit it might be inferred that the reason Grant nccopted Mr. Howe's resignation as marshal of Wyoming was because Howe too well knew that "a little money would go a longways. " STODEKLT GltEW 1IICH. TV hen first elected to the Legislature , Howe was a poor anan , hardly nblu to bear his campaign expenses. Mter being in Linooln a short time be was accused of havinjr received a large sum of money trom J. N. H. Patrick as a bribe. Out of the accusation by the Kearney Pctas , crew a libel suit , which bus never boon pressed , because , as be said , there "would be no money In it" The Press d&rud him to push his claim , but , as was afterward proven , he wiis guilty of the charge and dared not do it. The Kearney Press once said , regard ing Howe's suddenly acquired lucre : We have never been to the legislature and never had a chance to sell out , aud tills may In u measuie account for the present condi tion of our treasury. Itesponsible citizens of Neiunha county tell us that before Church Howe was sent to the legislating , instead of havinc nve-thousaud-dolhu certified checks to put up , he wus borrowing Mimll bums Irom every Iriend he had to carry him throuch. It 1s immaterial whether this statement is true or not , but as we said before , we huve H from responsible citizens. His ruling passion mani fests Itself btrougly in the reasons t'lvenwhy he does not commence suit &golus > t us. It is because he can't make any money at it , At the last session of the legislature , now and forever , he is the same Clitucli Howe. To use his own words when he wus in the maiket on the capital-removal question says he : " 1 am no cheap man I don't bore with a gimlet but with an augur. " Thib plan , well udher d to , will doubtless enable almost any man to deposit hvp-thousand dollar certlnwl checks all over the country. And the Brownrille Advertiser went on to say : He has a peculiar war of offering his vote oil the market , "It COM njeeojnuch. money to be elected , and I cannot "aflord to do these tilings for nothing. " A trans- responsible . . . Mr. Howe know that he sold his uheai at a sacrifice , lo enable htm to prepare biuikelt for the capital. And these neighbors arc wonderinc now about Howe having so mut-h nionej us to enable him to put up leckjessly 5.ow ; at pop on other men's characters. AS A. TEMI'EUAKCE MAX He tacked to the end of his platform a temperance plank , with the deaigued purpose of using it ns u money produc ing lever. Wru. Deidv , of Somalia county , recently said , for publi cation , that a very prominent liquor dealer of Omaha came to him nnd said "For God's sake don't send that inun Howe back to Lincoln it takes too much money to buy him " As the bill didn't pass , it is generally understood that Church voted as tlte liquor men Wished , thus howingTThylie ' 'did not bore with a cimlft twt with an nogur " It is said thai Sam Owen * , of Lincoln. could furnish twnablc information re garding liowfcv prices for has vote ( something to do with the Saline lands. Howe demanded jfloo to rote for thp measure. In sending his half of Uic money , Mr G - said " 1 send a draft of tvd for the { -It-pint cratleraan from Netnatm , who tvonjd rather rob than work. _ _ _ _ _ ODD W AYS OI'MAKIXU MO.NliV. Men Who Hare llpoomc Suddenly Riohbr Meant of Trirlnl Inven tion * . Two curious characters drilled into the current of fashionable life here the other day , writes a Long Branch correspondent ol the Philadelphia Press. They came in a private palace car in whioli they had been traveling about the country for tire past ix mouths. Both are men of crrat fortune , though not yet in the meridian of life. One 15 a 1'hiladelphian , the other a Jrrsevmnn. Five years BCO neither of them dreamed of hiring u private car , yet a single strokee of uood Sortune brought them out of the common places of Hfc and gave them positions , of prominence in the world of affairs- One of them niude Ins money out of glass bigns and the other from a patent medi cine which he compounded in the seclu sion of his Jersey home. Nine out of ten business men would lanch at the idea of making u fortune out of bits of glass two feet long with gilt lettering , and many would hesitate ijelore giving up a moderate income to rist his time with u patent cure-all remedy. But now the life-work of these two men is done so fnr as the accumula tion of money is concerned , and they live for the solo purpose of being amused by the world. Thev cuine down here with a car full of the many good things that wealth commands a hami er of cham pagne and a larder in which a Dclmouico chief could revel. A stable of horses had preceded them , and when they were not luxuriating in their home on wheels they were spinning along the bluff behind a team that took the dust from no one. Yet they tired of all this in two dnys.and jnst because a slight ram storm set in started down to Cape May for a change , as one of them said. Before going , however , they picked up n companion who has boeu struggling in the buatcti path of commerce for a life time and had not reached the goal which they touched in a few years. He could interest them by the stories of his busy career , and they tool ; him along with them for the one purpose of listening to him. him.There There is a man hero the inventor of an oysujropener and of an arrangement for making coflcr in a minute. . He told mo that he had already formed two com panies for the purpose of putting his in vention upon the market , ana thereby giving an opportunity to every man to be Ins own oyster-opener and cofTce- maker. AVho can help smiling at a man who build * his hopes in this wayV "You see , ' ; said IK , "everyone likes n cup of coffee as t-oon as he lias cotton out of bed. Now , I propose lo sell my apparatus for M cents apiece. All you ba-v e to do to juuip out of bed , pour as much water in it ns you want , a teaspoonful - spoonful of coffee. , and then li ht the lamp underneath. . . You can then go back to bed and take a minute's nap , and when you jump out again your eoflee is made and waiting. ' "And you cxpoct to sell a great many of these coffee-tnakcrsv" I asked. "Well , " conmUntiiiily replied my iat- tcr-day Mulberry Sellers , there are nearly a million coffee-drinkers in New York city alone , thatls enough for me. " The world alwjijs1 finds amusement in listening to tbp plans of the living types of John T. ItaymomTs great character , but ther-i are any number of them who have made money out of seeming trivialitie.s. I noticed a man driving on the avenue to-day who twelve j'cars ago saw a for tune in the sale of needles , if he devoted his attention solely to them. He has reaped that fortune now , and is the only man in the country who trades exclu sively in these little bits of stoel. He con trols the house on this Bide of the Atlan tic. to which all the needles in use have to be sent from abroad. There is another man stopping here whose wealth has come from the invention of a scarf-pin , and one of the handsomest cottages at Seabright is occupied by the inventor of a patent suspender. The person who first thought of attach ing a ball to the end of an elastic cord , so that it would return , went to Caleb Cush- ingyears ago.to have htm make out the ap plication to be sent to Washington for a patent. Mr. Cnshiuc was busy at the time with an important law case and wondered that the man was willing to nay the Jarce fee lie alwaj-s demanded ior his work , when he learned the nature of the patent. * I will have to charge you as much as I imagine you will iral c out of this thing , " he suggested to the inventor. "Well , I've already made a contract that will net me JO.OUO , " was the surpris ing reply , "and I can see my way clear to ten times that amount. " Entirely vegetable. No poisons. Red' Star Cough Cure. No bad effects. Price 25 cents. Along tfae Burlincton. Chicago Times : Vice President T. J. Potter , of the Burlington , returned yesterday to Chicago from a trip of in spection over that system of lines , spend ing three weeks in the journey , and critically examining the roads and branches , as well as the extensions in progress. Of these that running north west from Grand Island , Neb. , is per haps one of the most important , as it will extend some two hundred miles into western Nebraska , tapping a section rich in agricultural and pastoral resources , and disputing for the trade now held by the Northwestern nnd the Union Pacific. Of this extension seventy-five miles are already laid , and the grading will bo completed this3'ear , although a portion of the iron will not -be completed until next season. Work" on the Colorado Midland is being pushed , but Mr. Potter would not discuss the probabilities or possibilities of its eventually becoming a connecting linkiof u'.line reacliing Salt Lake , merely remkrking that "talk is cheap. " In regard to the corn crop , H hich , the Burlington being the great corn road , Mr. , Potter naturally gave much attenton , he. fwins h nil up by Bay ing that u reasonably good crop is as sured. This is especially true ol Nebraska although the country through which the Burlington run 'migjit have been more favored than other 'sections. It rained every day during hlrstay there some two weeks ago , un that there was an ex pectation of a goad j-iijd is proven by the tree inovemenfoiu ol the old crop. For some time past the Burlington lines in Nebraska have been loading five hundred cars daily.

T o Per Cent , a Month Banking a Profitable Business 1 he Mention- itcsand Tbclr Peculiar Waj s A Dakota Land Shark. HAMPTON. Neb , Angnst , 10 fCorre- ppondenee Chicago Herald. ] This place is 130 miles west of th ? Missouri river , nud the middle of a region which used to b called a part of the great American desert There isn't much dewt about it now. Tour acres out of five are under cultivation , aud hn\e Iteen for n half down years or more. 1 came to this country with n stilt of brand new store clothe * on my back , and a while plug hat on my head. 1 was immediately spotted as a moicloauer. . Before I had 1 > oen in the town an hour I xvas accosted by live sun-burned and bare-footed farmers with a query something like this : "Say , stranger , 1 hcer'n across the struct that you're a moncy-loancr. Be ye * If yc are 1 want to cit a small loan till fall. " Ol course 1 had no money to loan , and one uf ; < r another the applicants turned away obviously disappointed. "Why , " says 1 to the last one , n man with a lace burned so red by the sun that you could hardly tell uhere his red hiskers began or left oil. "why don't you go to that bank over there , or the one farther rip the street , or to some of thc o inoncy-loancr . who have their signs out here so tlnckv" "No use , " ho sighed , "no use. They hain't got a dollar. Loaned everything out this mornin' in ten minutes after openin * up. Couldn't git n 109 of 'em by payin'4 per cent. Tell ye what I'll do. stranger , if vo'll raise me a f 100 I'll give ye a morgidgc on two bosses an' a wagon , a self-oinder , two cows an' four bead o' cattle , an' I'll pay you 8 per cent a month int'rcst on the money for three months. " "H ? 100 would buy the United States , " I replied , "I couldn't purchase a garden patch in the de.-ert. But why are you so crarv for money4" "Got to have it , stranger got to have it. One of my machine notes falls due this afternoon , and if 1 don't pay it away'll go my harvester an' my two houses. If I can't raise100 I'm ruined. " And here the red-faced man's eyes got nearly as red as his whiskers. He was in hard luck , ho was , and 1 felt sorry for him 'ind asked him to take a drink with me. What he told me between drinks and what other men told me afterwards hung together so well that 1 believed every word they said According to this testimony the'only really prosperous business "in this country is banking and money-loaning. There arc naturally a good many banks and mone.y-loaucr , but they are all g"tting rich. There's old HnxGy , ranie. . out here hc vcais ago with $8,090. Now he's rich. There's Dins- more , over in Clay county. Came here in 'TO , "after bust ing higher'n a kite in business down east. I7irst winter he was here lived on snow witter and corn meal. Managed to sell a claim for ? 1,000. Loaned out the money. Now he's very rich , ana wants to be governor. Smart men never go into anything but money loaning in this country. Whoever comes out hera with wealth enough to buy a farm or start a store usually forswears agriculture and business after getting his bearings and becomes a banker. Iwery farmer and every business man here wants to sell out so that be may start a bank. They are as crazy on bank-start ing here ns they used to be on office-get ting down in Onio. And no wonder. Banks in this country cet rich faster than a horse can trot. They do very well with discounts , ex- chance , etc. , but it is in loaning that they strike a bonanza. Two per cent per month is now the regulation interest on short loans , which are generally secured by chattel mortgage , bometime the rate is 2 } per cent , or even 3. The borrower has to pay ull costs , too , and frequently a commission ot 1 cent on the dollar on lop of the interest. Four farms out of fiv arc mortgaged , as well as the horses. COWK , machinery , and even the crops be fore they are harvested. The demand for money is greater than the supply , and the bankers don't have to carry any idle surplus. Two per cent a month IP a very com fortable thing for those who are to act as receivers thereof. With a capital of only $3,030 a man can live on the interest of his money , toiling not , nor celling his face boiled in the harvest field , aud spin ning nothinc but yarns. Two cr three years ago a blacksmith came out here from Hlmois , where he had worked fif teen years to save $5,000. His intention was to buy n farm and work a few years more before he died. But he had better sense . He put his money out at interest , is living on half of the income nnd put ting the rest right out as fast as he can get hold of it. He IB gradually getting rich. And that is a good deal more than he could have done at farming. Fifteen years ago all of the land in this part of the county belonged to Uncle Sam and the railroad company You -could get UP on the table land and look ten miles in any direction and not see a house or n tree. Now the country looks a good deal like northern Illinois , with pretty groves of tress and hedges , but it is pot half so prosperous as Illinois , nnd it is the demand of these Nebraska farmers for Jeans that maces the banking busi ness so prime. These farmers have good toil and good climate , and nearly always good crops , but they are always hard tip. For tills there are several reasons The chief one is the distance from market. As a rule it takes four bushels of corn to carry one to Chicago , and corn'is rarely worth more than 15 cents a bushel here , nnd sometimes it is as low as C cents. The railroad takes 80 cents for hauling a bushel ol wheat from this part of Ne braska to Chicago , something like (100 ( or 050 miles , whereas the charge per bushel from Chicago to New York , J)50 ) miles , is only 12 ernt * . All other freights are in proportion , which is pretty tough on the farmer. His ooal , timber , barbed wire , tc , come high , but he must have 'em. The merchant pays big freight , too , but no matter The soil is ull there is in the country to live on , and everybody lives on it. After the merchants , the machine men , the windmill men , and the money- Joaners get their picking there is not much left ior the farmer. Not only is the Nebraska farmer fur from market , but he is beyond his depth. He came here u poor man , and , not con tent to creep his way , branched out quickly to farm on a large scale , So he bought a lot of farm machinery on time , with big interest and judgment notes. Then be bought a big windmill to save himself the labor of purnpin < r water for three or four animals. Every farmer has a patent belf-binder.a-103 harvesting ma chine , to bay notblig of riding plows , cultivators , oto , un4 he also has a wind mill. The farmer without u fcc-lf- binder and a windmill is o ! no account iu this country Most of the railroads out here were built with the proceeds of land given away iu grants by congress , nnd ihu.-e that n i-ro not built with lund urc helped along with county bunds voted by the jn-oplr And yet the lailroads tiave no mercy in the.r giznardu They ju size the rt.-uiity up fur vvLat at w.tl stand and then proceed to collect. They are always crowding the limit That isn't alL Vou can't start a new town in thi country unk-ss you rive half ol it to the railroao A wan about two miles w t of this pine * tried that and pot left , "I've laid wit n town site an' started n store sin' pot a pcxtofllct estab lished , " lie said ono day to the superin tendent of the road , "and now 1 wwit a depot and a sidetrack. Can yon put 'CJB in rieht way " "Yos , if ywi've wfn the South Platte Town Lot company. " "The what' " "The Sonlh Plattf Town Lot company. I > on't you know that yon cua't have any town iu this country unless you pire this company every other lot right straight throneh yrnir plat' " "No , and 111 be damned if I'll do it. " And he didn't cither. The re nlt WM that a station and Mde track wore ptit m two miles east of him. and a new town sprang up as if by magic Lots therein are worth several hundred dollars apiece The man who refused to give half of his lots to the South I'latte company is now raising a first-rule crop of corn and bog's on his town side , llo gee two miles ca t for his mail. too. The stockholder * , officers and directors of the town lot company uro ofiiccrs and directors of the railroad company Tim motto of this concern is. "No town lots , no side trsicks. " With money at 2 per cent a month and side tracks worth fM,0K ) ( > apiece , every young man contemplating a business in vestment out this way will at once see the advantage of becoming either , a bunker or a railway officer Hut if he can't do tills , let him become a Kussian Mciinonilc. It doesn't take much of a man to make a Mennouite , nnd all of the Meunonitcs are doing well out west These Mfiinonites left Itussla by the thousand fifteen years ago to escape military terviee. They are no good as lighter- . , but are first-class farmers nnd financiers. An average Hutsian family of seven persons will subsist on OT cents a week , raisins their own potatoes. Ii a Utis-ian has nothing else to do he will walk ten miles to town , carrying in his pockets a few cucumbers or ears of roasting corn to sell for T or 8 cents. After gettinjr the money he will clutch it tightly and trudge home again. When a lUissian goc to an auction , as he often does , and bids on a horse and wagon , era a harvester , or a cow , docs he go at it recklessly with $5 or $1 bids. No , indeed. If the last bid is $02 the Russians will bo $ ( i.01 ; and if some white man rai c > him to $01 ! ho bids back with $ ( ! 3.01. When a lot of Russians get to bidding ajrainst each other the auctioneer becomes weary. Every bid K for a cent advance , unless , perchance , some young and reckless Jtussinn shows his contempt for the con servatism and caution of his fathers bv going two whole cents at one fell swoop. Once in awhile n Russian dies. On such occasions there is a big funeral , but no extravagance. The grave is dug in n "basin , " where the land is not tit for cultivation , so that there is no loss in that The coilin is home-made , and usu ally consists of three or four cottonwood boards fastened together with binding strips taken from dry goods boxes. The flowers used for decoration arc wild ones of the prairie , care being taken in their selection to get none that the cows may want to eut. Some of the richer Rnsnans , those who count their acres by the thousands , some times indulge in the luxury of a drink of whisky. Their method of tippling is to get live solid brethren together and march into a saloon. Eacli produces three cents , and the barkeeper sets out one glass. This the leader of the gansr pours just as full as the barkeeper will allow him , and then drinks one-fifth of. the whole. While he is smacking his lips the next man takes his fifth , and so on. They never cheat each other in the drink. They are a very just and honor able people , and take pride in their in tegrity. The saloonkeeper up at Aurora who procured a graduated glass divided into fifths as an especial inducement to the Russian trade made a great mistake. The disciples of Mcnno regarded this graduated glass as an insult , and forever afterward shunned the bar ol Uie unfor tunate saloonkeeper. Everybody wants to buy everything on credit out in this country , and everybody must sell in that way or not at all Occa sionally a merchant revolts against the credit system , and resolves to sell only for cash. In one store which 1 visited 1 saw the placard conspicuously displayed , "No Credit By Hell. " Doubtless this peed merchant and awkward swearer meant all he said , but he will get left , just the same. Out nerc people will buy on credit if they can when they have plenty of money in pocket. The Russians are that way. They have got the fever with which the machine men and wind mill men long ago infected this whole region. There is some method about the Russian , however. He naves his money and buys on time , aud mortgages his farms as fast as he can get clear titl s that he may buy other farms. In this way he is talcing up the country by wholesale , and in about ten years the Russians nnd the moncy-loaners , und the Town Lot Company will come pretty close to owning the whole region. W. . W- A Dakota Ii&nd Shark and Banker. On an cast-bound train the other day. writes a Watertown , Dakota , correspon dent of The New York Sun , was a well- fed and comfortable looking man , who announced that he had been attending to business very fitriotly for throe or four years , and tfiat be w&s then on his way to the B ashorc for the purpose of having u little recreation. His wife wai. a fresh- looking , plump young woman several years his junior , who , besides being fash ionably dressed , had tin nir of business about her which is met with in the fair f-ez more frequently in this part of the country than elsewhere. "Yes , " the tourist said , after settling himself back in his Beat in the smokcrn' section. "I've ' been attending to business mighty close. In fact , I've had to. I'm n banker. When I caniu out in this coun try 1 bad about $4,000 clean cush. Down where I came from everybody fcaid $4OHO wasn't enough to put in your eye. It might do to buy a home with or pet a tenmbut as far a& bushiest , was concerned it was only an aggravation. 11 a 1 heard something about Dakota , aud made up inj' mind that 1 would how borne of the smart men whether $4,0t ( l capital was good for anything or not. I went west iilpng with tno immigrants , set up a little oihce , put out a sign 'Money to Loan , ' and snt down to await custom. " 1 put my money out in small sums , princjpalry , A settler would come in und ask for $50 or $100 , 1 would ask him what he had. Well , he might have iu\ equity in his land , or ho would have some household furniture , farm machinery , or horses and wagons I would let him have the money , und take n morte-age on all that he had , deducting my inUtn-.st , at 10,12 or 14 per cent in advance. 1'Jonty of them would want n little money for a month or two mouths , and I'd always sock it to these fellow * I've had $10 for the u o of $50 for thirty days many u time. A good many of the feottlere were Scandinavians , ndl could not talk to them iu tboir own language , nor could they spuak to mo in mine , but 1 got up a printed form which they could under stand , and in that way we managed to do business very satisfactorily. "It requires a very clear head and good judgment to do a banking business out here Particularly is this true in a new fcetdement in the winter time. I've chanced my location three times since I've boon in Dakota After a township lius been settled for avihile it is not much good to men in my line. When 1 have moved I have always gone to a mw cjuutry The people gel along first rst o for a few months , but the first wintrr fetches tltem.

In some ? uch ca cs 1 litn e sold it back to the man nt 12 or 15 per cent interest , on condition that lie would pay me month } } , but ho usually gets tired of that. "Only the other day I was thinking about how much 1 had made out here , and how do > ou suppose I stand * Well , sir , 1 have doubled 1113 money , and 1 own tun or twelve of as peed farms as there arc in Dakota. They need improving. , of cour1- ? , but the laud i all there , you bet. Hn\o any trouble with the-settlers ? Oh , yes , some , once in a while. They are n | ) t > nr lot , ami sometimes the\ come around and beg prettv hard , but you've got to shut down. 1 ou can't run a free dis tn'iisary and a bank at thp same time I'm out here to help the c who help themselves , do you see * When they get where they can't do that , why then it belps me. Every once in a bile men in my business run nerost down east folks who get homesick out hero. Then jxm'vo " lot a"snap. Take H down-caster who is Homesick and noor and discouraged , aud He'll give yon liij farm for money enough to get back cast. I have only struck two ucb cases , but 1 know bunkers who have liad several. There is nothing like being around when H little money is needed. I tell you 1 have seen the time out hero when my $4,003 looked like a million to the majority of the people. "Yes , 1 have hail to take a good deal of iunk in m.y day , some of it stuff that 1 couldn't jrive away , but 1 took it just the same It wouldn't be business to let po ol anything you once cot hold of Prob ably the funniest bargain that I over made , though , was the one that brought me the young Indy iu there , my wife , bhc was out here farming,1 as sb'c calls it , though she didn't know a harrow from a teed-cutlcr. Slip was a brave girl.though. She had a little money and paid for nor [ arm , but she had to ire in debt for her liousc and machinery. That's where 1 ? ot in my work. A\ hen it came time for tier to inane a payment she was short , and so she came to me for money I gave it to her , and took a mortgage on all iwr property , real aud personal. That is the kind of deals I like to make. If you can ; et one of tlio-e girls for a customer you are liable lo have a farm after a while dirt cheap. "Well , when the note fell due sno couldu 't pay it , and 1 gave her an exten sion at 12" per cent. 1 usually get 15 in ; uch emergencies , but 1 took pity on her. Then that came due , aud she had no money , and so 1 foreclosed on her. That made'her mad. She wanted to make P compromise , and after H while 1 patched tip a bargain with her , but as I repented of it 1 told her the place and all the things would have to bo sold. A friend of mine bid them iu ior about the sum of my claim , and the girl got notice to leave , which she didn't do. Not mucK She just staid there , and one day when I rode out to see ii she had gone she open d on me with a rifle , calling me an o d shark and thief. V hen 1 tried to gel some help from the people round about they intimated that they would see me hanged firs' , .nd by thunder , tbepirl had me. She was in possession , and there wasn't law enough in that country then to get her out "So after a while I came to the conclu sion that I would have to reason with her. It was getting to bo about time 'o : me to climb out of there , but 1 couldu t Dear the idea of losing the farm. Then 1 pot a muu to negotiate with her for an interview , and after a while I called on her , making myMilf s _ agrneable ns pos sible. The upshot of it was that 1 asked hei to marry me , and the consented. I'm pre.tty well satisfied with the deed , for to lc.il you the truth I would never have pot that farm if 1 hadn't taken her along with it.
