I have 800 acres of land in Chey-
enne County, Nebraska, 16 miles
northwest of Sidney, the county seat,
population 1900, on the Union Pacific
Railroad. The land is about midway
between the North and South Platte
Rivers-about 16 miles from each.
The topography is just right to make
it attractive and fit for cultivation;
the soil is very rich loan, s feet deep,

FOR CURRENCY REFORM.
Commercial Bodies Will Meet Early
in January at Minneapolis to Con-
slider the Question.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Dec. 24.-East-
ern business men r looking forward
to the monetary convention to be held
at Minneapolis, in January, with great
interest. They believe that a great
deal of good can be accomplished If
the proper course ia pursued by the
delegates to this convention. Those
who are now working up the senti-
ment in favor of the convention ex-
press themselves as greatly en-
couraged over the report they have
already received from commercial bod
les in the larger cities all over the
United States. Certain members of
the..executive committee w%ererecently
in New York, Baltimore and Wash
ington, in consultation with the big
commercial organizations in these
cities.
While in New York they talked
with members of the Chamber of Com
merce, the Board of Trade and Trans
portation, as we'll as with the most
prominent business men of the me-
tropolis. The sentiment expressed
by the business men in these cities is
now favorable to the convention,
owing to the fact that it is clearly IN
derstood that the only purpose of the
convention is the creation of a COM
mission which will, as business men,
undertake to make a thorough report
upon our currency conditions. The
convention further proposes to pre-
pare a plan of currency reform in the
hope that Congress will adopt it, and
thus settle the disturbing question.
There was a bit of opposition to the
calling of such a convention, due to
the fact that it was first supposed that
it proposed, after a few days discus
sion, to adopt the plan for a currency
system and then urge its adoption by
Congress. Such a purpose as that
would not have received very cordial
support in the East at any rate. II,
however, a commission can be ap-
pointed by that convention which will
command respect by reason of the
ability and experience of its members,
and free itself from all suggestion of
partisan purpose, then business or
CARNATIONS in the East, as well as in
the West, will undoubtedly be willing
to give it every possible assistance.
1t is recognized, of course, that the
report of such a commission would be
regarded as simply expressing the
views of an able body of business men
wao might be presumed to represent
fairly intelligent business opinion
throughout the country, and it is ex-
pected that the moral influence which
such q commission could exert would
bs very great with Congress.

A GREAT NOVEL
of the

AMERICAN REVOLUTION
its leading serial feature for 1897 and
the masterpiece of its author, DIR. 8.
Weir Mitchell. The story, "Hugh
Wynne, Free Quaker" purports to be
the autobiography of its hero, an Of
fcer on Washington's staff. Social life
in Philadelphia at the time of the
Revolution is most Interestingly de-
picted and the characters include
Washington, Franklin, Lafayette and
others well known in history. 1t is
safe to say that the readers of this
great romance will obtain from it a
clearer idea of the people who were
foremost in Revolutionary days, and
of the social life of the times, than can
be had from any other single source.
The work is not only historically ac-
curate, but is a most interesting story

test was delivered to the chief Of the
Provisional Government, who en-
dorsed thereon his acknowledgment
Of its receipt. The terms OF the pro-
test were read without dissent by
those assembled to constitute the
Provisional Government, who we're
certainly charged with the knowl-
edge that the Queen, instead Of
finally abandoning her power, had
appealed to the justice of The United
States for reinstatement in her
authority; and yet the Provisional
Government with this unanswered
protest in it's hand hastened to
negotiate with the United States
for the permanent banishment of
the Queen from power and for a sale
OF her kingdom"
