in North Carolina, n We rejoice to
say it is, but it has a history Of some
fifty or sixty years. It's record is
stained with violence, with wholesale
butchery, with widespread lust, with
violations of human and divine law,
and all in the name of it's own sort
of religion. Tt is not needed in this or
in any state, where there are homes
and piety and purity and virtue and
reverence for God and His law While
it is against the spirit Of the age to

expose thoroughly the ~wickedness, the

SPANS FINANCIAL FIX

The Spanish finances are not in a
very healthful condition. The long war
against Cuba has greatly embarrassed
the present government. 1t was han
dicapped with heavy indebtedness be
fore it began it's destructive war Upon
the insurgents. Its manner of deal
ing with Cuba was so oppressive and
ruinous that the people rose UP in
revolt and began their war for hber-
ty and independence. The financial
embarrassments of Spain are beyond
all fair question most serious, and
with sue debts it can hardly become
again a prosperous country. Spain
owed $40, 900, 900 when the Cuban war
began. 1t owes now over 1925, 900, 900.
The estimate is that if the country
present year the Indebtedness will not
fall much below $500, 900, 900. For a poor
country, heavily burdened with ex-
pe%nditures daily that is indeed a great
sum. 1t is stated that Cuba paid be
fore the war about $25, 900, 600 annu-
ally to Spain. The annual expenditures
for the last three a are placed at
1882, 600, 900. The total annual revenue
has been about $40, 600, 600. So in three
years a deficit has been created
amounting to SLIP. 500, 900. This is the
difference between regular expendi-
lures n con not counting the
war indebtedness. This is indeed a
bad exhibit for a country laundering
to whip the United States.

Economy in Buying Seeds.

Economy is not paying less money
for thing than you expected to pay.
True economy is good management.
and about the worst management a
farmer can be guilty of is to buy CHEAP
seeds and thus cut the value of his
crops in half-orworse. A stream cam
not flow higher than its source, and q
crop cannot be any better than it's
seed. Real seed economy is buying
seeds that bear the stamp of house
that is known to be reliable; then the
planter is absolutely sure that he gets
what ne wants and what he pays for.
In every part of the country dealers
sell the absolutely reliable seeds of %.

committee on military affairs based its
conclusions upon the necessity of hav-

intentions of the government towards
its veterans, the advantages offered by
the location of Hot Springs, and the
curative properties of the water at that
place, as shown by the published re-

To he Established at Hot Springs in the

Last week the STAR mentioned the
e.ct that the people of Chadron were
urging the establishment of an insti-
tute of osteopathy at that place, and
we incidentally stated that Hot Springs
would doubtless have similar insti-
tuition this year, for what place is bet
ter adapted for all serts of institutions
whose mis- sion it is to heal the sick than
Il health resort? No place can posi-
bly, compete with good health resort
in securing health seekers providing
such health resort is supplied with
all that there is known to modern
science that may alleviate afflicted
humanity. A health seeker always
prefers to be where he may have a
choice of possible remedies. Hot
Springs, with its medicinal waters and
unsurpassed climate, offers the natural
remedies for the afflicted. We also
boast of all the modern baths. equip
ments, ETC., with scientific and skilled
attendants; of a medical profession
that is abreast the times and most
competent. But as health resort the
place demands oven more, and to sup
ply this demand DIR. Mary H. Connor,
together with r. f. Connor and Mrs.
y. II. Connor, will establish The Black
Hills Institute of Osteopathy in this
city early in the spring. We are in
formed that it will be thoroughly pro-
vided with the latest and most COM
plete equipment, everything being up
to date; the corps of operators being
the best that can be procured, with DIR.
Mary H. Connor at the head. In fact
the projectors say that no expense will
be spared toward placing the institute
in the front rank. A large amount of
advertising matter is in course of prep
aration which will of itself give Hot
Springs extensive advertising, and no
doubt hundreds of people will be at
tracted hither; to receive treatment,
where with the combination of natural
health restoring agencies they will be
made lasting friends of Hot Springs
and go away singing its praises.
Whatever kind of treatment people
may desire, a thoroughly established
health resort should be prepared to
give-and Hot Springs will keep right
along in the front rank.
