SCHOOL LAND IN DEMAND

Leasing Many Acres.

Leasing Many Acres.
Land Commissioners j. V. Wolfe re.
turned to Lincoln recently from q trip
through the counties OF Valley, How
ard, Sherman, Loup and Garfield. lie
leased school land at auction in each
of the counties. AS n result he leased
1900 acres and collected 5000 in DO.
muses. paid by bidders. All the land
put up at auction in Howard county
was taken by bidders excepting about
800, and in Sherman county all but
about 500 acres. In the latter county
nearly every piece brought IA bonus.
Every piece of land that was offered
by Commissioners Wolfe was leased,
and there were 2,0sO acres offered.
Since Commissioner Wolfe com.
menced this work he has leased $4,000
acres and collected SO, 500 in bonuses.
Basing the estimate on an average ap.
praised valuation of only seventy-five
cents an acre the school land thus far
leased will bring in a revenue of So
400 during the two years. Commits
sioner Wolfe thinks this is n very low
low estimate.

and pungent epigrams are taken from
his talks recently. Here they are:
Somebody's been good enough to
say that | am lowering the pulpit. l
thank God for it. The pulpit needs
lowering.
"a minister said to to me: Mr..
Moody, if l preached as you do,
should have to get out Well, get
out, you ministers, if you fee! you
cannot preach the gospel.
Religion without love is like a
clock without hands.
Il have seen the thermometer at a
prayer meeting 60 down 20 degrees at
one jump. have seen a man rise for
~
prayer who had nothing to say, but
he got up aud just killed time.
"We want the wealthy members of
