$4,000 yearly in fuel. Il is estimated thai the f.y
four factories located here sGre annually $4,000 in
fuel. What manufacturer using coal can hope to
compete Nth these figures when fuel costs nothing
Mr.. Darnell, President of the Munee Nail & Iron
Co., says he is making nail out Of pig iron so
much finer by the use of Natural Gas that experts
cannot tell 1t from steel.
Window glass made by Natural Gas is finer,
clearer and gets the preference in the market
that made by coal.
New manufactures are now being located in
this beautiful aud enterprsing young city, and it IS
fair to judge the future by what has been accom-
pished in the past; fifty large establishments
will locate here within two years.
SUPERIOR RAILROAD FACILITIES.
Muncie transportation facilities are perfect.
Three great trunk lines cross here, offering
outlet to every point OF the compass
The Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus & Indian
apolis, or Bee Line" the Lake Erie & Western,
and the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati & Louisville. The
two former furnish through transportation east and
west, and the latter running north and south,
crosses all the great trunk lines running from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Coast.
A beltline of railroad Skin s.e southern and
eastern part of the City, and connects with the
three lines of road affordng manufactures faeili
ties for loadngand unloading freight at the factory

An Inviting Field for Investors.
The world is familiar with the phenomenally
rapid growth of the West In one brief generation
we have looked in amazement at the fight of vast
herds of buffalo and hordes of painted men before
the advancing caravans of the emigrant. Seen the
locomotive climb ehamois-like over the cliffs and
very cress of the Rocky Mountains seen web of
steel spread over the wilderness by the great spider
of commerce. The tepees of the Indians swept
away to make room for the factory, church and
sehooIhouse.
Amid the roar of mill wheels, the din of factory
whistles and clatter of the wheels of trade, the
people of the East have swept with their telescopes
the far West for the glitter of god and the broad
domain of the Hooser State for fruits of agriculture
alone.
One city at least in this State of golden groups of
grain and great herds of cattle has caught the eye
of the East, and the query comes, what new Won
ders has natures storehouse given to enrich now
fortunate, to be mighty Muncie the manufacturing
city of the West.
It is the fame that shoots from natures boundless
reservoirs, lighting up Muncies future with untold
benefits, bringing costless fuel and setting the
wheels of hundred factories in tuneful motion.
NATURAL GAS.
It's origin is shrouded in mystery. No man
knows how it is made or from whence it comes. 4

limestone is struck; penetrating this rock few

this is now reduced to science.

AN INVITING FIELD FOR CAPITALISTS.
No city in this great country of ours is attracting
so much attention, or presents such splendid op-
portunjties for capitalists and investors as does
MuncIe to-day.
Property is literally dirt cheap when the fact Is
considered that the conditions are ripe for a phe-
nomenally rapid advance in prices. The contractor
and builder is here presented with a field which
has seldom been equsIed. A house day is the
record of building the past year. and yet there are
required t3res Hundred to meet the demands of
tenants and it is estimated that at least 800 will
be built during the coming year.
The purchase of lots and building of houses for
rent will pay net profit of from 20 to 25 per cent
annually, aud they can be rented as fast as built

Corn IN NebTasIca.- Writing recent

economic and statistical writer, ana
lyzes the reports of the United States
Department of Agriculture for the last
six years. and finds that they show the
corn crops of Nebraska to average a
larger yield per acre thar those of any
other of the great corn producing
States; a larger number of bushels per
capita, either OF those employed in
raising them or of the entire population
of the State, than any other State or
Territory, and, most significant of all,
have larger percentage of u mer-
chantable standard than those of
even the most highly favored of its
competitors. Two million acres of
free government land, suitable for gen
eral farming purposes, and three mil
lion acres more, adapted to stockrais-
ing and dairying, are still subject to
entry along the various lines of the
