TO ADVERTISE NEBRASKA.

Enough Counties Already Eaiiatsd to As
sure the Advertising Train.
THE grand exhibit OF Nebraska prod
.ucts at the state fair has added impetus
to the proposition for an advertising
train. Thirty-five counties have indi-
Gated their desire TO participate in tho
demonstration. Fifty counties are de-
sired and the State business Mems as
s0ciAtion is delaying It's action little
TO secure exhibits and funds from that
number. The, train IL assured, how
ever. Thirty-fve organized counties
can make magnificent showing for the
state. Nebraska wants more people.
The way to get them is TO circulate In
formation concerning the state and pre-
sent to thNlr eagof eyes specimens OF
what IL produced. The immense crops
and the good prices Of this year will nat
urAlly turn attention to NebrAska. The
advertising train will reach those who
have not taken advantage Of the hAr-

ported successful mission to the twin
cities. The board is composed OF n. J..
Rice, chairman; Z. +. Mckinney, F. p.
Phillips and II. Il. Mayhem, secretary.
Their main object was to determine the
truth or falsity OF the charges that
South Dakota buyers are purchasing
wheat rs No. northern which is subse-
quently sold In Minneapolis as No. /
hard. Another report has been circu-
lated among the farmers that the
weights and measures used by some
dealers were not exactly rs they should
be to give the farmer just and honest
return upon his product. In order to
arrive 1T correct conclusion the COM
mission consulted Inspector Clausen and
his deputies 1T st. Paul, and inspected
no less than 200 cars Ut wheat at Minne-
apolis. They found that less than 4 per
cent OF the South Dakota wheat graded
No. hard. which seems to dispose OF
the first complaint quite effectually.
The commission, provided with . COM
plete outfit OF testers, weights and
measures, will visit all grain ware
houses in their territory and see that
wheat buyers are doing business under
regular licenses and are properly
equipped with samples, testers and
scales, to insure correct grades on oil
wheat purchased. Arrangements have
also been made for an exhibition Of
samples OF oil standard grades at the
approaching state fair to be held At
Sioux Falls.

THE TEA CROP.
It is Very Short and the Price Will O.
~ I'm.

It is Very Short and the Price Will Go
New YORK, March 9.--The tea crop this
year is 100000 pounds short. and this
shortage will cause an increase in price to
the consumer of ten cents a pound. Harold
Weddle, tea grower and importer, whose
main Office is in New York. said to-day that
late advices to him were to this effect and
that the shortage was caused by blight,
and a disease which attacks only
the tea plant, and which breaks
out at irregular periods in the tea
plantations in China. India and Ceylon,
which produce nearly all the tea which is
used in the world. Each year, in advance,
the growers estimate what the years crop
will be. Thu tea is now being harvested
and reports from all parts of CHINA show
that the actual amount of tea harvested Will
b. "a. 1000, 900 rounds less than estimated,
bud India and Ceylon have not Jared so
badly. the crop in those countries combined
being only 5000, zoe below the estimate.
Over 25O, 100000 pounds of tea are cor
sumed annually. OF this amount CHINA
raised last year 120, no. 600 pounds and
India and Ceylon 1872, 600, 900 pounds. The
shortage in the CROP will force up the
wholesale price of Chinese tea from an
average of eighteen cents a pound, accord
ing to Mr.. Waddle, to twenty-foUr cents q
pound, and of Indian and Ceylon tea from
an average of twenty-three cents to an
average of twenty. nine cents a pound. The
wholesale dealers will add about four cents
to his increase, SO that tea drinkers Will
have to ray ten cents more a pound than
they did last year.

A Convention OF Kansans, Sans Whit Col
lars and White Shirts.
, EAsToN, Md, March 9.-The meeting of
the Talbot. Dorchester and Carolina
branches of the Farmers alliance brought
many people to Easton to-day. Hon. Jerry
Simpson, the new member of congress from
Kansas, spoke. He said the alliance had
fought and succeeded in beating ingalls,,
the man who had kept the republicans to-
gether nv pleading s%ectionalism.
The district MIR. Simpson will represent
in the next congress has 10000 voters. In
the convention that nominated him there
Was no lawyer, only two men with white
collars and nine with white shirts. Such
q convention in Kansas is close
to heaven. They had broken up
the republican party 80 that
nothing was left of it but a bung hole,
around which a barrel could not be built.
He said that there was not gold enough in
the world to ill the decayed teeth OF the
people, much less to furnish an adequate
circulating medium, which should not be
less than $G per capita. While it may be
true that a farmer can buy as much now
with a gold dollar as ever he could, it cost
him at least three times more of his pro-
duets to get the dollar than it ever did be-
fore. Last year Kansas corn, which cost
81 cents a bushel to raise. sold at 1879 cents.
1t was cheaper than coal, although the coal
miners were starving for bread. Mr.. Simp-
son advocates government control OF the
