q Good Investment.

Anyone who mas ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety o. a government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with q steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The
good season and the great tide of immis
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap land. easy term of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on
the money he has invested in it.
If you are looking for safe place to
invest money, where it will pay you a
large and sure profit, or if you are farm>
er and want farm of your own, coll on
me and see what / have to offer. ] will

Mr.. W. IL. Gest, the gentleman who is
endeaVoring to represent this district in
congress. through the efforts of the re-
publican party. has written TO the F0lks
IeitHRg of this city. letter, which the
Union prints this morning, and which al
leges to be reply to an article published
in the Folks ZeitaRg. charging Mr.. Gest
with having secured a Communication Of
the lite sentence of Patrick Grogan, of
this city, to fourteen years Imprisonment
for political purposes. In his reply, Mr.
Gcst very peculiarly evades entirely the
charges made against him by the ZsituHg,
but instead of replying, as he claims to
set out to do. he draws lines between the
German and Irish races, stating that the
article was written for the purpose Of
antagOnizing the Germans against him,
as Grogan was an IrishmaD, and that he
has been life long friend to Germans,
and is of German antecedent, etc. The
utter righteousness of the whole matter
is that Gest has jumped at conclusions all
the way through, for the words German
or Irish are not mentioned in the entire
article in the ZeituHg; he was not accused
in that article of rendering help to an
Irishman, and the lire of nationality was
moi drawn in any way. Mr. Gest had
better have understood that article more
thoroughly before seeking to make reply.
MI Gests methods of condcuting his
campaign all the way through are Ger
tainly the most peculiar that have ever
entered into congressional contest.
