FARMER IMMIGRANTS WANTED.
The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital
ist WIN Try in Nehraaka.

A plan for securing farmer in1ni-
grants has just been put in operation
in Nebraska by wealthy Ohio manu-
facturer, and it is the understanding
of the South that Gov. Northen. OF
Georgia, advocates a similar experi-
ment in his state. Some time ago the
Ohio man purchased 1a,00o acres in Ne
hraska. In the center OF this tract 1Go
acres are laid off for the village site,
and in the center of this forty acres
for public park. Facing the park
are the school, church or churches,
public halls, stores, shops, etc. The
remainder is cut up into a4o lots
of about a half acre each for dwellings
for the farmers, storekeepers, nechan-
les and others who may seek resi-
denee in the village. After providing
for the village the rest of the l., ZOO
acres is divided into $50 farms of about
eighty acres each, with roads SO laid
out as to give each farmer an open
| highway to the village. II is proposed
to sell these farms on time. giving
uruPse rrrur 90 TUE purvnass-rs TO. pay
for them. and To assist in the building
of the village by helping TO build the

public buildings as may be desired. II
I this idea is carried ont, there will be

F and perhaps fifty or more other fam

others, say i village of 500 families. or
1000 people, which would make con
siderable place.
I Gov. Northen suggests that land
owners form Joint sto.:S companies,
purchase central tract for the village.
build a church, u schoolhouse, store,
have q post otfiee established, and then
let those nearest the village site either
I build, or if practicable move their
( dwellings, to the village site, thus Civ
ing it start. Then subdiYide the
large farms into small ones, and invite
settlers to come, purchase and become
residents of the village.

PAY OF COLLEGE Professors.


1fesk1SnE harper SAYS the EGGcAtofS 81
Ameries Are Sadly Underpaid.
President W. Z. Harper, of the Chi
esgo university, analyses in the Forum
statistics Of salaries paid to professors
in one hundred and twentY-tour inner
lean colleges College professors. com
pared with Pennsylvania mill hands, It
seems are sadly underpaid. At some
iron mills the entire laboring force is
paid quite as high as many college pro
fessors- Only the highest class of pro-
fessors are to be compared with the
lower grades of responsible officers OF
railroad. industrial corporation or
insurance company. President Harper
makes strong plea for college pen
sions and thinks the average pay
should be raised from s1.49o To 81, 0oa.
The salaries of the lower class of
professors. says DR.. Harper. compare
with the wages of the skilled work
men employed in the mechanical in
dustries- The salaries that range up-
ward from the general average of one
thousand four hundred and seventy
dollars compare with the pay Of skilled
and responsible operatives and of the
lower grades of responsible chemical
7 pf0yes. It Is onfy the hGThssf tTsss IT
professors, the ineumbeuts Of respon-
sible and exacting posts in the larger
colleges and universities, who are to
be compared with the lower grades Of
/ the responsible officers of railroad or
an industrial corporation or insurance
/ company.
There is practically no class of col
( lege professors whose pay IS on 3 level
( with the pay OF men in positions of
I first or second rank and responsibility
+ in the industrial community; ard vet
I nobody questions that the higher
I grades of university work require quite
as exceptional gifts and quite as elab-
/ crate preparation, together with all
! the most desirable traits of character
/ that go to make up the highest eff
I cheney in the front rank Of industrial
7 life. For the employment of equally
I rare and Indispensable talents, In

I tious, tile teachers in our universities
are paid at rate that will in no wise
compare with hrst-elass salaries or per
I sonal incomes in mechanical industry
or in the professions.

The latest ullase of the czar of all

composed of the mobiles, the capitalists,
the landowners, the manufacturers,
the bankers, the principal merchants
and members of the civil, military and

THE paILeRiMAGE TO MECCA.
Wells of That City Are Among the Prin-
cipaI Sourcea Of Cholera


Apropos of a dispatch from Tunis
which says that out of body of nine
thousand pilgrims who visited Mecca
one-half died of cholera, and that OF the
seven hundred Turkish soldiers sent
after the pilgrims to bury the dead and
help the living five hundred perished,
the New York Herald gives some ac~
count of the sacred city and the
sacred professions II is estimat-
ed that the pilgrims annually
number from fifty to seventy thousand.
They come from all parts of the
Mohammedan world, for every Mos
lem is bound under certain conditions
to pay at least one visit to the holy
city. Mecca. as is weli-known, lies
in the heart of mass of rough
hills. intersected by narrow valleys.
Its regular population is supposed to
be about fifty thousand, but the city
always contains many more persons,
for before the pilgrims to one festiva!
have left those to another begin to ar
rive. The streets are fairly spacious,
but very poorly kept. There is a
good supply of pure water. brought
by an underground conduit. but
this is furnished freely only to
townspeople, the pilgrims having
to pay for it. As a result the
latter patronize the wells which
are supposed to be principal sources OF
cholera. One of these is the well OF
Zemzem, which is the holiest place in
the city after the Kaaba, or temple.
According to Mohammedan tradition
this well is the source from which IIa-
ger drew water for her son IshmaeI
It is now inclosed in massive vaulted
building, paved with marble. The
water is eagerly drank by the pill
( grims. poured over the body to give
! miraculous refreshment. and carried
away in jars. As though the water

WINE AND MILK OF EQUAL COST,
Ex-senator Evarts Finds Ills Farm in Yer
mont a Costly Toy.

1T costs considerably more to run a
farm than people imagine" remarked
man to Boston Herald reporter.
"a man may support yacht, go off on
long cruises, entertain literally, and
gain the reputation of being a hail fell
low well met. but oftentimes, it has
been asserted, the running of a farm
is still more costly. People as rule
labor under the impression that the
returns more than offset the outlay.
They figure that the owner raises
enough vegetables and fruit to last
him from year to year, and the Tact
that he can enjoy homemade butter
is something not to be disregarded in
summing up the profit and loss.

GOLD FIELDS OF THE YUKON.

Some destitute Alaskan miners who

not dispute the claim that mineral
wealth exists there, but say that q
great part of il lies under impenetra-
BILE mountains of ice. Moreover, the
high cost of living renders the pros

BONES OF a DEPARTED RACE.

Pound la Two Large Burial Places IN Mo-
bYaska-Men Of 6seat Stature
A farmer blowing near Calhoun Seb-,
recently turned up a human skull and
search revealed a large number of
other skulls, besides bones These
relics were those of powerful race
and who they were is unknown The
skulls are large, but the forehead is
extremely low. An Omaha World-Her-
aid reporter visited the place. and
measurement was taken of one of the
lower jaws found and compared with
the dimensions taken of one of the
men on the field The relics jaw was
found 10 be an inch lArYer each way,
in proportion, than that Of the person
whose measurement had been taken.
although he was six feet three inches
in height, weighed nearly two hum
Sred pounds and had unusually large
jaws The measurement of the lower
maxillary found is as follows: Depth,
four inches; width of the upper ex-
tremities, five and half inches; width
inside measure from wisdom tooth to
wisdom tooth, two and q fourth inches;
total length of jaw, five and fourth
inches The upper was fully as large,
while the teeth resembled those of a
cow more than those OF a human be-
ing. They were badly worn and would
go to show that the owner ate meat,
presumably buffalo, a great deal A
dentist when shown the teeth said that
they were much larger than any of
those of white person living in this
age
A theory advanced is that these are
the remains of some Aandan Indians,
who were the earliest settlers of this
part of the country. but were ulti-
mately exterminated by the Sioux.
The size of these bones would explode
this theory, however, as the Mandans
were not q large race. Another theory
is that they are, perhaps, the remains
of northwestern Indians who were
killed by another tribe. This tribe
were large in stature, according to ira
dition, many being six feet and more
in height
The reporter found about fifty feet
