northeastern Nebraska will bud and
blossom like the rose and prosperity will
continue its sway.
Is it any wonder that the people get
tired over the delays of the law? Is it
strange that they complain of its irreg.
ularities Is it singular that they think
'moncy talks" against the promptness
of justice? Read this from the Sioux
City Journal: Frank NJ Dorsey, who
was convicted in the United States
district court for Nebraska for illegal
banking at Ponca, and sentenced by
Judge Garland to six years in the peni-
tentiary at Sioux Falls, is preparing to
go to Idaho where he will remain until
the conclusion of the case. A right of
appeal was allowed by Judge Garland,
and Mr.. Dorsey's attorneys are prepar.
ing to appeal the case to the United
States court of appeals at st. Louis If
the decision of the federal court is af-
tlrmed by the court Of appeals, it is said
an attempt will then be made to have
the case certified up to the United States
supreme court. This course will require
about two years and during this time
Dorsey will be in Idaho. He intends to
engage in the mercantile business and
will operate stores in the mining
camps"

The sand rock has again been passed

striking of flow of water very soon.
However, the distance toward the CEN

the formation is to the depth of u
thousand feet at least. Those who are
enthusiastic over the project are SAN
guine something will be struck-if it

mine or greenbacks in some form.
There is money in that hole in some
form or another. Meantime, those who
did not favor the pushing of it deeper,
grow more serious and wise looking as
each day passes without any thing more
resulting than increased taxes, and feel
that the facts sustain them in their po-
sition. 1t all depends-as everything
else does-on the point of view taken.

keep the Ivory Soap, claiming does not pay much
profit as inferior qualities do, so if your regular grocer
refuses to get it for you, there undoubtedly others

than compensateS for the smaller profit, and will
