AV'on i Novel Suit.
A nnvi'l suit was begun last week in Wor
cester. Mats. , by John Latrkola , a New York
traveling man , against George L. Newton of
Wiuwstcr , Mass.
It WHH nn action of contract. The plaintiff
alleged Unit on the third day of November ,
ISsT , defendant promised to give him ? 100 if
ho would not drink n drop of intoxicating
liquor for ono year. On the expiration of the
year the plaintiff appeared before the de
fendant. Mr. Newton , of Learned , Newton &
Co. , wholesale grocers of that city , and as
serted ho had abstained from drinking one
year , claimed his ? 100. At the trial of the
suit the plaintiff testified to the facts in the
case. The bookkeeper for Learned , Newton
fe Co. . tcstlfiod'for the plaintiff to the effect
Ihsil ho was a witness to the agreement.
This closed the plaintiff's case. The defense
rested its case without offering any testi
mony. It admitted the fact as alleged 03-
plaintiff , but asked the court to rule that
there win not a sufllciet consideration to form
ii contract capable of legal enforcement.
The i-iurt declined so to rule.and instructed
the jury to lind for the plaintiff in the sum of
$100 , with interest from date of the writ.
Thu Jury nccordlnglv returned a verdict for
plaintiff and assessed damages in the sum of
S100.70.
AVork For the Clul ) .
Evidently by a sort of happen-so , "there
were not enough member of the Omaha Trav
eling M'Ti's club in the city yesterday to war
rant PiiMldent Lobeek in announcing a call to
order. Among those who did come , however ,
was Secretary Hyerson , who reported that
enough more money had been received to
make the total now in the treasury # iV ) . As
only about sixty of the neiirly 11 > members
have been heard from , the indication would
seem di 1)0 that another week or two will
bring in three times that amount.
The club has certainly made a magnificent
start , but it is only n start. Every man
should constitute himself a persistent and
tlrelohs commit tee of one to talk and push the
intcre-sta of the organization on every possi
ble invasion.
It has been decided not to rent rooms until
nil who have signed either pay or say they
won't pay the membership fee. This is cer
tainly luLsiness in every scnso of the word.
Other traveling men's clubs are flourishing in
many far less promising fields thiin this , and
there certainly is no reason whv the one just
stai-tiil in Omaha should not be the king of
them all , so far as importance is concerned.
A Now Association.
T II.TC has been considerable talk lately
among the commercial travelers of Albany ,
N. V , about organizing a mutual accident
association to bo operated by themselves , and
secure the members weakly indemnity in case
of accident , at small cost. They may extend
the privileges to others not commercial
travelers and not engaged in a more hazard
ous business. At n meeting of some of the
reprcaentativo commercial travelers , held at
the rooms tf the Commercial Travelers' club
last week , the subject was talked over , and
from reports made by those who had can
vassed the matter on the road during the past
week the success of the idea was assured ,
nearly ono hundred names having been secured -
cured as charter members to the new scheme.
Another meeting will soon bo held for the
purjwse of making application for incorpora
tion , the papers having been ordered pre
pared. It will probably bo called the Com
mercial Travelers' Mutual and Preferred Ac
cident Association of Albany.

doing splendid business.
S. A Conrad and daughter , Miss Edith , of

L. C. Hill , the Meyer buggy man , spent
Sunday at homo after a trip in southeastern
Nebraska. If there is a man in this territory
'
who i-.in sell buggies Hill is certainly "ono o'f
him. "
Mr Jnincs Flynn of Canton , traveling
talesman for SauU Bros. , of Buffalo , N. Y. ,
soap manufacturers , was killed recently in
the Lake Shore disaster. His accident policy
for W.IKKI would huvo expired in just eight
lioui-s if ho had lived. This gives to his
mother that amount.
It was nt Columbus that n Cincinnati drum
mer hupiieiicd to put up at a table with a
number of legislators , and the courtly way in
whi.-h they addressed each other greatly
IxuvU the commercial traveler. It was , "Will
the- gentleman from Hardiii do thlsf" and
the gentleman from Frunklin did that. "
Thej invariably sjwko to each other ns the
Rentli'iwm from whatever county they hap-

utes the drummer bore it in .silence. Then
he suddenly crm-hed the statesmen by singing
out ui stentorian tones to the waiter , "Will
the gentleman from Ethiopia plcu.so pass the
butter ! " That ended "tho gentleman from"
business. Cincinnati Times-Star.

Chnruoter r lite 1'coplo
E , S. D. , April 4. [ Special Telegram
to THE Bni : ] . The admission of the two
Dakotps was , to use the words of Secretary
Blainctho first ItiMiinco in the history of
the national government thut two states have
entered the union nt the same time.1/ / Said
President Harrison in his message at the
opening of congress : "Each luus within itself
resources the development of which will em
ploy the energies of , and yield n comfortable
subsistence to a great population. * * The
people of' these states uru already well-
trained , intelligent and patriotic American
citizens , having common Interests and sym
pathies with those of the older states , and n
common purpose to defend the integrity
nnd uphold the honor of the nation. "
"Dakota , " says the report of the
secretary of the interior , " is pre-eminently nn
agricultural country. Almost its ontlro area
is susceptible of cultivation. In no other
.country in the world are there larger areas
of fertile lands , level as a lloor , easily worked
and fruitful as the valley of the Nile. Stock
raising is a rapidly growing industry. The
increase in the value of live stock during the
last nine years has been ( Xil : per cent. Dairy
ing is becoming an important industry. "
The Dakotas together with Montana nnd
AVashington , and Wyoming and Idaho , which
will soon bo states , will draw northwestward
the center of political power. These lusty
and hearty twins are at their birth bigger
than many of their older sisters. North Da
kota has ii'W.OOO people and South
Dakota has over 400,000 , n larg
er population than either Colorado ,
Delaware , Florida , Nevada , New Hampshire ,
Oregon , Rhode Island or A'ennont hud in
IS-tO , and in all prob.ibillty the coming census
will show that South Dakota leads all these.
Recruited from the best elements of New
England and the northwest , nnd from the
hardy and industrious Scandinavian immi
gration , the people are "pushing , energetic ,
enterprising Americans , * ' who know no back
ward steps , and will achieve wonders in the
work of building up their new states. The
stimulus of admission to the sisterhood of the
union is already strongly felt. Under a slate
government they will increase much faster
than they did or could in their territorial con
dition. Security is now felt in all directions ;
i y lines of-dcvelopmcnt will be opened up ;
their finances will be strengthened ,
and the } ' will liavo larger and fuller
bcopo of action , and they will hereafter con
tinue more and more to do as they have al
ready done , give a good account of them
selves through their alert and able repre
sentatives in the national council.
First as to North Dakota. East of Bis
marck towns of some size begin to bo seen
until Janestown on the Johns river is reached ,
which is a place of much importance in the
eastern part of the third county from the Red
river. The country constantly grows more
level as we go east from Bismarck , which is
nearly two thojsand feet above the sea. At
A'alley City , forty miles cast of Jamestown
the higher portion of the Red River valley
begins , and the ground is very -gently roii _
ing for thirty miles to Wheatlaud.
There a bank is seen about ten feet
in height which extends north and south
indefinitely. The valley of the Red river
reaches from AVhcatland to Glyndon , Minn. ,
fifteen miles beyond the river , and its in er-
agc width is about forty miles. The six east
ern counties of North Dakota lie in the valley
proper , the line of counties bordering on the
west being on the bench in the upper valley.
This vast expanse appears to have once been
tho''bottom" of n sheet of witter. Its soil is
simply a sedimentary deposit several feet in
depth , underlaid with limestone , and rightly
managed with a proper succession of crops its
richness and duration will prove inexhausti
ble. The observer sees on every hand as far
us the eye can reach , a succession of ploughed
fields a mile .square , with neat white frame
hou-ses and great red barns , the stacks of
straw alone remaining to suggest the
source of all this seeming prosperity and
wealth. There are , of course , many large
farms. These , however , are only Incidental ;
the great valley , south to the limits of the
state nnd north to the British line , beyond
which it extends to Lake AVinnipcg , is in the
hands of comparatively smidl farmers , who ,
ns yet , cultivate only about one-flfth of the
vast and fertile tract. All the way from
Whcatland to Fargo the eye looks out upon a
plain "as level as a floor'1 to the horizon. In
the distance a line of trees is seen , on reach
ing which a river is found , the banks of
which uro everywhere of the same height ,
the stream having cut through the deposit
which constitutes the plain. Elevators are
scattered every few miles along both the
Northern Pacinc and Manitoba roads. Occa
sionally a section of land is passed
which lias not yet been ploughed ,
the grass on which is of a ruddy
brown almost golden , The pyo rests on a
scene which though tame , is indescribable
and fascinating , the sky broadening ; ouUand
the horiiou seeming removed to an increible
distance. The Red riven1 is the same as is the
btreum Just spoken of , though on a larger
scale. A frinsio of trees is approached , in
the midst of which the river finds its tortuous
course , and beyond the level plain continues.
Fargo is a bright and busy place , with very
pleasant surroundings of plain and wood and
river. The Red river is navigable from
Fargo to its mouth. The cost of raising
wheat in this great valley averages -10 cents a
biihhel. This region is fust becoming n land
of line horses nnd cattle , and diversified
farming will moro and more bo followed. Of
the people of the Mate nearly one-
half are found in thso six
Red river counties , nnd of the
remaining moiety more than one-half aro-in
counties adjoining these on the west. Less
than ono-fourth are found to the west , scat
tered along the lines oftho Northern Pucillc
to Bismarck and beyond nnd along the
Great Northern road. From the Red River
valley to the Bad Land , on the extreme
western limits of North Dakota , mow than
three hundred miles , is an unbroken prairie
country , adapted west f-tho Missouri river
to the raising of cattle , sheep and horses.
The James river valley , which is midway be
tween Fargo and Bismarck , is growing in
population and prosperity every year. There
are already llvo herds of thoroughbred
cattle and horse * . , which are rapidly increas
ing throughout this region. The cattle
from Jamestown took the first prize
at the territorial exhibit and at the
Minuet-Ota fair. Along the Great Northern
railway is 11 land of lakes , streams , hills and
forests , in which there are many herds of
cattle mid Hocks of sheep. It is in four or
live counties in this locality that the chief
destitution of. which wo have heard so much
has been experienced. To those who have
seen the region of western Nebraska and
Kansas nnd eastern Colorado bhis oiii into
population , productiveness and comfort , there
can bo no doubt of the ultimate destiny of
this country. 1 have compiled .somo statistics
of northern Dakota's population and produc
tiveness , which aiv necessary to complete the

Of the sev\jnty-iiliio counties Into which
South Dakota is divided , nineteen are unor
ganized , The first settlement In Ihtil was In
the Missouri valley , which Is now n country
of improved farms , with neat dwellings , hams
and stables , groves of timlicr , growing orch
ards and tine horses , cattle , sheep and swine.
The Big Sioux valley Is particularly attrac
tive ; the landscape is beautiful and the ex
cellent water favors the growth of the im
proved stock for which the county is noted.
The James ( or as it is affectionately called
"the Jim" ) river valley has numerous flour
ishing towns. Fine stock farms abound , the
wheat produced is of very superior quality ,
and the fanners are every where a flourish
ing class. Between the James river and
the Missouri to the west lies what
was long ' the "debatable land"
of South Dakota. Settlement grow up
iu advance of the railroads , and those
who attended the territorial fairs from the
older settlements , were astonished by the ex
hibits brought in by wagons from the un-
unknown regions grains , vegetables and
some fruits , which often took the prize over
the products of the older portions. With the
advent of railways thrifty new farms and vil
lages have sprung up , and central Dakota Is
proving its claim to every capability for grain
growing and stoclc farming. The country
west of the Missouri tli c Indian reservation
recently opened up contains much fine soil
in the'valleys of the numerous small and dry
streams , and the whole will in time prove to
be adapted to live stock growing and associ
ated industries. The total ceded by the re
cent treaties is about nine million acres. The
settlers within the first three years must pay
SI .23 an aero ; tree claims and pre-emption
rights are barred. These conditions , with
that of a five years- residence in order to se
cure a title , will encourage settlement.
The Northwestern nnd St. Paul companies
several years ago made surveys across the
reservation , and have two years yet in which
to build their roads. Senator Pettigrew was
premature iu his prediction a few months ago
of an immigration on the opening of the
reservation of 100.000 people into southwest
ern Dakota the present year.
The vote in South Dakota in October last
was 77,8-7. indicating a' population of about
400,000. The totals of production in 1SVJ were
materially increased overthat of the previous
year. There was a total of 'J.OitJO : acres of
wheat , producing 17,2s",4.Vi bushels ; 071 , S&i
acres of oats , producing llV ( t.iiir > bushels ;

products , § 400,071 Worth of poultry
and eggs were soldj .and 2t8lGG ; pounds
of cheese and 7.Si3,20l pounds of but

STi of prairie under fence for pasture and
hay , and these were cut last year , of tame
hay 110,010 tons , and of prairie hay 1,4 , > 1,000
tons. The growth of wild and tame grass ,
the abundance of pure water , nnd the ease
with which millet and reot crops can bo pro
duced , peculiarly adapt South Dakota to the
growing of fine domestic animals , and render
farming everywhere surely profitable through
diversified industry. There were iu 1SMI
UilUi : ; horses , 170,509 cows and : msSp-J other
cattle , lfi7St5 sheep , andlM } , : . ! " hogs in South
Dakota ; nnd the value of animals fatted and
killed in IS S was $2,547,004 , and the uumlwr
of pounds of wool clipped was r > S , NSS. The
planting of trees Is receiving increased atten
tion. The official returns show that twenty-one
kinds of trees being planted. Reports from
forty-nine counties showed u total of 127.US7
acres planted to trees , mainly to cottonwood ,
boxeldcr. ash and maple. Of flouring mills
the number is rapidly increasing. There are
five of over two hundred ban-els capacity ,
which employ a capital of over SiOO.OjK ) and
the value of whose product is nearly ? lir ! > 0- ,
000 ; while of mills under 200 barrels capacity
there are seventy-six , employing a capital of
§ l'i"i,000 ( ) , and having nn annual product of
$1,020,000. There are twenty-seven dairies
in the state , employing a capital of $1(53,000 ( ,
and having an annual product of J4WJ.OIK ) ,
and cheese is successfully manufactured iu
eight counties. South Dakota has 2/.I7S
schools , employing ! l,071 teachers. There
are graded schools in twelve cities
and towns , employing 121 teach
ers nnd having 0W , ! ! pupils. The
leading churches all sustain denomina
tional schools , and all have bishops and inde
pendent organizations in the state. The state ,
lias ten public institutions. The agricultural
college at Brookings makes a specialty of
manual industry in its various brandies , and
of domestic economy , typewriting nnd teleg
raphy for the young women. The university
at Vermillion , besides its general courses ,
also has a normal department , nnd is a flour
ishing and useful institution. There are two
normal schools , one at Spcarfish in the Black
Hills , and ono at Madbon , which has a four
year's course. The school of mines at Rapid
City , on the bonier of the Black Hills , JKIS-
sesses every facility for practical instruction
in geology , metullurlgy. chemistry , mining
and mining law. There is a school for deaf
mutes at Sioux Falls , a hospital for the insane
at Yankton , n reform school at Plank-
inton , a penitentiary at Sioux
Falls which is built and organized on the
most approved plan and a soldiers' homo is
building at Hot Springs in the Black Hills.
South Dakota has 2Xibanks , of which IW are
national banks and the entire capital cm-
ployed amounts to nearly ,000,000. Besides
the 83),000,0K ) ( ) In railroads South Dakota has
an assessed valuation of $97 , < XX > ,000. Of the
total .r > 0,000,000 acres of laud only some 1:1,000- :

The assessed value of horses is about ? S,000-
( XX ) , of cattle about * 5WO,000 ( , of swine VK-
000 and of sheep $104,000. South Dakota hits
275 publications , or more than has Minnesota
with-five times its population. Every princi
pal town has one or more dailies and the
weekly papers indicate u thriving , intelligent
nnd moral commonwealth.
One meets in the Aoelcty of the principal

Once more the spring festival has come.
Once more we behold the signs of a Yevlving
world , and Nature sets herself to teach over
with untiring patience- the lessons of n life
that know * no death. A respondent quicken
ing is felt Iu the human heart , promising nt
moments the exclamation , "Wherein I was
dead , 1 am alive again ! " New energy
springs up in body and soul as though the
sources of life were being replenished by
nn unseen hand. We sense a kind of
divine surprise * in these April days , finding
the sun so high , feeling the access of warmth
In his rays and the breath of the first soft
breeze blowing from the sweet south. Glad
ness spreads itself through all the world ,
breaking out in the early song of bird , in the
( pitting forth of bloom nature animate nnd
inanimate hastening to show the tokens of
the gratitude.
Into theM ) days fits well the belief In n life
utter death. Symbols and suggestions of it are
everywhere. Spring is nature's annuully re
curring resurrection. Over nud over she
seems trt tell us ,
"There is no death I What seems so is tran
sition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but the suburb of the life elvsinn
Whose portal is called death. "
Every winter Eostiv , goddess of verdure ,
goes , ns our far-off ancestors thought , to her
grave shrouded and burled in snow. The leaf
less , moaning trees , the darkened skies , the
streams hushed in icy stillness , have the
dread npiicnruucc of life departed and extinct.
But in a fcvf months the earth advances upon
her circuit and turns her frozen check to the
sun whose burning kisses quicken all the
pulses of life afresh. Dormant energies re
vive , and we see the same glad world we
have seen before. There is change , dissolu
tion of forms , but nothing is lost. The un
seen energy rehabilitates itself according to
Its needs.nd so through the various
metamorphoses of which the living world is
the subject , we have hints upon hints of what
may await .us. The mind , ns by
nit instinctive sub-consciousness of its
own perpetuity , has ever seized upon
certain transmigrating orders of life as sym-
l > ols of the life of man surviving all change.
Thus the beetle and the butterfly upon some
of the olilcst existing monuments , make elo
quent proclamation of u faith which has been
and is the glory and the gladness of the
world.
To me the most convincing signs of immor
tality lie in the extraordinary powers of the
human being. If he is only for this world he
is in many instances much too richly endowed.
What use of ti creature whoso existence is
but a hand-breadth to concent himself with
what went before and what will come after !
What has one , whose little day reaches not
lieyoud this rolling globe , to do with
other globes scattered through the
void immense ? Three-fourths of our ca
pacity is surplusage if we end here. Happily
this indication is more than a reductio ad ab-
surdum , for In the exercise of certain exalted
mental powers there is a something like a
senm' of permanence , a feeling that this
thinking principle is kindfed to
the eternal realities. When Newton
formulated the law of gravitation ,
when Kepler name upon the three
sublime principles governing the resolutions
and periods of all worlds , when Darwin and
Wallace perceived the secret by which na
ture modifies her living forms , the fresh
grasp of these great ideis : must have given
these men at the moment a rapturous con
sciousness of fellowship with the abiding , nn
unspeakable apprehension of life eternal.
They had eaten Irom the tree of knowledge ;
they had become as gods. Thinking immor
tal "thoughts we grow to feel ourselves immor
tal.
tal.As
As pointing in this direction , perhaps our
sympathies go even further than our percep
tions. For the purpose of existing in tins
world the human being is overloaded with
affections. He would work out his personal
aims better if he cared less for others. The
race as a whole ( speaking with reference to
this world ) is a loser through its charities ,
which largely serve to nourish and perpetu
ate the weaknesses that nature in all lower
life is careful to eliminate. We have the in
eradicable feeling that sympathy for weak
ness and suffering is n quality of the very
highest order , having the supreme sanction.
So far then as its advantages do not appear
here , they must , if there be any reason
ing about such things , reach over and apply
elsewhere. Affection is a sacred thing ,
having the seal of heaven if anything has.
But affection does not dry up and wither
away when death has taken its object. The
stream continues to flow full and strong , nnd ,
unless existence is so contrived that the most
things run to waste , we must think that the
loved object survives somewhere.
But we can hardly argue ourselves into be
lief. Wo are influenced in this matter rather
by intimations , vague surmises , glimpses ,
that come to us in our highest moments. In
fact our proper adjustment to this world seems
to involve the lack of any clear vision beyond.
The veil , through which we see so dimly , and'
to which we are apt to demur , is after all the
beneficent protection of Providence. The
real ground of trast is in that Providence.
Ho who brought us hither , will take us
hence , and wo have as little reason to fear in
one case as in the other.
A step Into the darkness It l > well :
It ucromits , } if 'twere not lietterso.
Indarkne-- . man is fashioned from a cull ;
Wlio safely comes , may no less safely go.
It is tho-divino function of the imagination
to transcend a little the realm of knowledge
and send" .some gleams of light on before.
The true poet poet is ever the true seer.

IX 3IK3IOHY Of 3111. IlI.llKItA rfi
A Meeting nt Young Men's Christian
Association Hall.
A meeting was held tit the Young Men's
Christian Association hall Sunday afternoon
to do honor to the memory of the late I' . C.
Ilimebaugh. The rostrum was decorated
with flowering- shrubs and a large cross of
white roses mid carnations stood In
front of the table. The latter was
the offering of a young man who had been
assisted by Mr. Ilimebaugh in starting in life.
On the platform sat ex-Governor Saunder.s ,
Dr. Joseph Dnryea , Mr. William Fleming ,
Dr. Dcnise , Dr. Leisenring and several
others , while the rear of the stage was filled
by a number of members of the Young Men's
Christian association , who acted as n choir.
The singing was under the direction of Prof.
Kratz.
The meeting was presided over bv Mr.
Fleming , who spoke feelingly of his relations
with Mr. Hiincbuugh. Ho said that when
he was u young mini , just starting in busi
ness. Mr. Himebaugli had helped him in
many ways by his counsel and also in n more
material way. Since Mr. Ilimcbinigh's
deatli Mr. Fleming said ho hul ; learned of
many young men in Omaha who were in
debted to the kind ofllces of this most benev
olent man for their start in life and for their
success.
Ex-Governor Saundcrs spolw of his
relations with Mr. Himebaugli in busi
ness. He characterized him as an
absolutely fair nnd upright business
man and ono who was scrupulously hottest in
all his dealings. He said that Mr. Ilime
baugh had often spoken of his intcntioiib iv-
gardiugtho young men of this city. His
chief object seemed to have boon to provide a
place where young men could spend the even
ings free from evil associations and where
they might profit by mooting with men of
standing in the community. That this object
had been accomplished , was amply
proved by the magnificent building in
which the meeting was held. The
governor recommended the young men to fol
low the noble example set them by his dear
est friend , and endeavor to imitate him in his
uprightness. He said he had observed Mr.
Himebaugh's i oursc In life very carefully ,
and was thoroughly convinced that he was "a
consistent Christian and a staunch , faithful
friend. In business he had always been a
jK > aeemaker , and had never been concerned in
any disagreement or trouble if it lay in his
power to iirevent it.
Dr. Leisenringpoke of Mr. Ilime-
biiugh's connection with the erection of
the Young Men's Christian association
building. The doctor had been president of
the association for some time , he said , when
it was decided to elect Mr. Himebaugli to
that position. With his characteristic mod
esty Mr. Himebaugli at first declined , saying
ho was not u fit man for the place , but ho was
finally persuaded to accept and from that
time until his death he was constantly de
vising plans for the advancement of the inter
ests of the association. It was due to his
efforts , the doctor said , that the Itenutiful
building was erected. Ho took hold of that
matter as lie did of everything else and did
not rest until the work was accomplished.
In his enthusiasm Mr. Himebaugli had
worked too hard and had no doubt done much
to hasten the end of a useful life. Even dur
ing the times when he had been obliged to go
away to seek rest and health he had kept up
a correspondence with the association and
had given direct ions und ottered .suggestions
uliout various details. Ho never seemed to
forget or allow his intercut iu tliu association
to flag.
Mr. J. O. Phillip ] ) ! spoke very feelingly of
Mr. Ilimebaugh , whom ho had known
quite intimately. Ho had transacted a
great deal of business with him and had
always found him a man of the
strictest integrity. He had also known Mr.
Ilimebaugh us a faithful follower of Jesus
Christ and an upright , conscientious Chris
tian. Mr. Phillippi said he had come to know
Mr. Himebaugli < nito ! intimately and had rev
erenced him as a true man and nwurin friend.
In speaking of his dear friend Mr. Phillippi
was wellnigh overcome with emotion and lie
expressed his feelings in n strong and earnest
manner.
Dr. Dnryea , Dr. Dcnlso and others spoke
briclly iu the same strain , all relating their
personal experience and acquaintance with
Mr. Himebaugli in the highest terms.
The meeting closed with pravcr by Rev. W.
J. Harsha ,
