I buy all my goods for cash from the manufacturers, and get large discounts on account of the enormous quantities that I sell In my store at 105 State St., and my stores in this city and Gales- burg, and through these travel lug men, 1 have had twenty-three years exper­ ience in the jewelry business here in Aurora, anil i claim to be a judge ot g'-ods. 1 import my own goods direct frbin Europe, and 1 am the only jew­ eler lu Aurora that imports a dollar's worth of any kind of goods.

'•) --The People^- Fiery Joke. -tV- •* < 8peeial Correspondence. But few residents', of the East know what the Northwest Is at present, or how rapidly it Is changing tor the bet­ ter. The idea that D ikotft is a vast mid treeless prairie, dotted only here and there by\the cabins of hardy and venturesome pionecra prevails in many quarters where more accurate know­ ledge might justly be expected, while thousands of intelligent Americans look upon the glowing accounts of the progress of this great section ns the fabrications of lan'd agents and specu­ lators. Tjiey ought to be here and watch the incoming tide; for the prom­ ised increase of immigration has come, and come with a force that far sur­ passes any precedent in the history of our country, and as a consequence the growth, which is not of a fungus kind and improvement that is solid and sub­ stantial, In the settlement of this vast --this almost limitless field of homes- exceeds the most sanguine expecta­ tions. and if It eould he seen by the people or tile East, 1 do not think tltey would wonder at the activity In busi­ ness and general prosperity among these people,.and of whom and whose country they have heard and know 9b little. The grand possibilities of the Northwest cannot be over-estimated, nor too much oe said for and of it. It Is unquestionably the richest and.best developed portion of the United States. Its climate is good. Its air pure, its water excellent, streams plenty, and its soil loaded with the wenlth of rich, organic matter -- the debris of thous­ ands of crops of grass. As.stated, there Is still the choice of excellent farming lands. Under the Homestead and simi­ lar laws any man or woman, 31 years of age, who is or intends to become a cltl- xen, may secure 160 acres of unapprop­ riated or non-preempted land that will cost slmplj' the nominal fees of the Government, amounting to $18. Think ot It. 160 acres of lahd for 918. To the productiveness of this coun­ try there seems no limit. It produces every grain, fruit and vegetable known( and the most luxuriant of grasses, which 'covers the broad prairies and fattens the stock that roam over them. But while the farmer is thriving, there is plenty to do for those who do not follow that calling -- the business man* the capitalist, th» mechanic or the la­ borer can find much to engage hia time, his means and III* ability, with two­ fold return. The time 'for- making selections is now, and I should suggest the southern portion of the territory, as the north- iern or Red River country is too much Uv*. t»W«|jnnr» :»• m# orowe^ and again the frfrtper is more thickly populated and settlements greater in number, nearer each other and larger, and railway fazilitle* better. The Chi- eago. Milwaukee and St. Paul railway has nine terminals In the territory and enters it at more points, passes through more live, enterprising towns, and, in connection with its stage and river lines, more Important and desirable places and the liner portions of South­ ern Central and Northern Dakota,than any other road. The company not only gives specially low rates, but makes the transportation of settlers and their movables a speoisi feature of its busi­ ness. It kas no lauds in Dakota to soil, but offers thousands of a^res of unsur­ passed fanning land in Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota at from 92.50 to $7 per acre, giving six years In which to pay for tiii same, payments to be made annually, deferred ones bearing only six|per cent..Interest, and. If land is bought, deducting the price of the ticket, robatting ale* 93 per acre for breakage, If 25 per cent, of the tract purchased is broken during the firit year, or, if 40 per cent, is broken, deducting 93.60 per acre. But, if de­ sired and applied tor. Col. A. V. H. Carpenter of Milwaukee, General Pass­ enger Agent of the St. Paul Co.. will send free information that will be full­ er than can your correspondent. I should much like to write you con­ cerning this little city, whose people show so much enterprise and so many cosmopolitan ways. But perhaps you suggest another letter However, let me relate au Incident. Last night It was cloudy and quite cold, and the ho­ tel office was largely occupied by the town-people. The jokers were present and learning that, as one punningly re­ marked, "two young exquiurtt (exquis­ ites') were "up town" courting two sis­ ters," the jokers "chipped In" and bought a small pall of turpentine, which they carried to the house of the ladies, setting It down before the front door, quit* eouvfinieut to be stepped Into by any person who should make their exit from that door. Tho next act was to attacli a cord to the Joor bell's handle, to discover which the sly performer lighted a match, which he unintentionally let full Into the tur­ pentine. A few minutes later the lire bells rang, and to-day the Jokers are raising an amount by subscription, suf­ ficient to buy palut and turpentine to restore the beauty of that house'* front* Sebrino.
