perity. Her crops, her cattle and her
sntsrprising people no longer leave .
doubt that she is awakening to . new
life. The crop indications at this time
are most favorable, and II tho price Of
wheat remains anywhere near present
quotations, Kansas will realise from
this crop alone more money than will
be turned out this season from oil the
gold mines in the world.
Dickinson county Is one OF tho best
counties in the State, having rich
lands and water abundantly distrib-
uted in every part Of it. and q soil
unsurpassed for productive purposes
Centrally situated in this great
county, in this grand central State, Is
the city Of Abilene. IL is called the
"Belle OF the Smoky" andis, perhaps,
the must beautiful city Of its size in
the West; or, for that matter, any
where else. Its railroad, educational,
church, musical and social advan-
tages are not surpassed. It's regard
ed one Of the wealthiest cities Of its
size in Kansas. Its beautiful homes,
its blocks Of fine business houses, its
beautiful streets, its absolutely pure
Sand Springs water, Its shade trees
and blue grass lawns impress the Wis
itor with the idea that Abilene must
have advantages possessed by few
other places Of It's size.
Many OF the farmers Of the county
having become wealthy on their
farms, have retired from that pur.
suit and moved to town, and are liv-
ing in ease, on the interest Of their
money. II prices are maintained, the
crops Of Kansas, this year will bring
an almost fabulous amount and the
peoplewill have money SO plentiful that
real estate will 20 up to price that
will open the eyes Of the money loaner
who thinks the best thing is interest.
Farms and farmlands, pasture land
and city property are down just now,
but are held . little sitter than dur.
the preceding year. Many people
have an impression that there will be
an advance and this impression tends
to advanced prices which are sure to
be realized within the next twelve
months.
We have lived In Kansas nearly a
quarter Of century and we know her
cups and downs" We know her
periods OF adversely and prosperity.
During the past six or eight years
values have become greatly depre-
ciated. From this condition we have
just begun to emerge.
Those persons who come to Kansas
soon can make money by standing
around with their hands In their
pockets. Many excellent farms can
be had for about what the improve
ments cost; for, hundreds Of farmers
have not yet learned the real value Of
their possessions, and will not, until
they sell out and try to buy in again.
There are as good bargains to be
had here in Dickinson county as
there would have been in Oklahoma
under the "!ree homes" bill had that
measure passed congress, and better
for, public improvements, such as
bridges, school houses, etc., In this
county have already been made. Any
one coming to Kansas to get good
home or to make a good investment,
should not fail to stop at Abilene q
day or two before he selects loca.

 The leading features of the New York real estate market at the present time is the abundance of money for loaning purposes. There is no lack of cash for those who have desirable property to offer as security.

HOWEVER much we are disposed to
kick and get impatient sometimes at
the house and sometimes at the SEN
ate, whenever action is taken that
runs contrary to our views and de-
sires, yet we must admit the wisdom
OF the founders OF the republic in es-
tablishing the bi-cameral system OF
legislation. The very object OF hav-
ing two houses is to secure thorough
and careful consideration of all ques-
tions and to prevent important leg
islation being rushed through in a
moment of excitement without being
properly discussed. Two heads are
wiser than one, even if one is a sleeps
head, is a saying that applies also to
bodies.

AFTER a hard fought contest be-
tween the two branches of congress,
the war resolutions finally passed the
senate by a vote of AZ to 35 and the
house by a vote of 3l9 to 6. In the
preparation of these resolutions Sen
ator Cushman K. Davis has scored a
great triumph. AS chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, he has
taken an active and prominent part
in the solution of this vexed question
His knowledge of international law,
his culture and his craftsmanship
have fitted him peculiarly for the i'm

resolutions are almost word for word

ABOUT ten miles of track has been
laid on the eastern end of the Fosston
branch of the Great Northern road,
from near Saunders, on the Eastern
Minnesota. About twenty. miles more
must be laid before connection is made
with the Duluth, Superior & Western,
at Cloquet. This cannot be completed
before June l, by which time it is
probable that the Duluth, Superior &
Western will be formally turned over
to the Great Northern management.
Up to this time the officers of the
Duluth, Superior & Western have re-
ceived no official notice that the road
has been acquired by the Great North

latter company is billed the same as

SOME of those who shouted vehem-
emily for war week ago, severely
criticising the president and the re-
publicans for going SO slow in the
matter, now that war is actually
here have completely changed front
and say they want no war. Such
persons are hard to suit. Their par
tisanship overtowers their patriot

Coal is as necessary to have as
powder in modern naval warfare.
Enormous quantities are consumed
daily in propelling one OF the big
battleships, and without the ability
to move swiftly, it would be, notwith-
standing it's heavy arnor plate and
monster guns, as helpless as acclaim
ed giant. Spain is at a great disad-
vantage in conducting naval warfare
on this side OF the ocean because her
coaling stations at Havana and
Porto Rico are supplied from the
Uni ted. States, and none can be had
from this source when war breaks
out. England has declared coal to
be contra band OF war hence it would
be very difficult for rSpanish warships
to replenish their bunkers.

The Cuban resolutions passed by
congress will have a place in history
alongside OF such grand documents
as the Magma Charta, Declaration Of
Independence and the Emancipation
Proclamation. 1t is a grand decla-
ration in favor OF human liberty. 1t
is grander even than other docu-
ments, because itspeaks for freedom
and the right Of self government not
for ourselves, but for the oppressed
OF another race. It does not aim at
territorial aggrandizement. The
United States, as the freeest and
most enlightened nation on earth,
comes to the aid OF weak, helpless
and oppressed people and tells the
oppressors to quit. We say to the.
world that the United States stands
ready to defend the rights Of the op-
pressed Of all nations, and by it's
strong arm drive tyranny away.
