GREAT DEMAND FoR FARM LANDS.
Settlers Buying of Union Pacific and
MANY Are PnNing Cnsh.

Notwithstanding the superstition attached
/ to Friday as an unlucky day, the Union Pa
cihc land department on that day made a
record breaking number Of sales Of its land.
Some 1000 acres were disposed of TO home
seekers. Only three tracts sold amounted to
as much as full section, and none of these
were over that size The average sale was
of quarter sections. Three Of the purchasers
took advantage OF the 10 per cent discount
allowed and paid cash for their land. One
who did not know of the discount has since
written in asking the privilege Of paying up.
During February the department sold 5000
acres, and for this month up to Friday
about 5000 acres were sold, while on Friday
two-thirds as much land was sold as on the
previous nine days Of the month. One tract
Of land sold on Friday was in Colorado, but
the balance of it was in central Kansas
The officers in the land department look
upon this demand for these lands as an in
dication OF what will take place when the
Nebraska lands are put upon the market.
They predict that the department has some
OF its busiest days in store for 1t, and their
position is sustained in a measure by the
number of inquiries which are being re-
ceived almost daily about the Nebraska land.

Farmers Being Induced to Go Into
Culture of Sugar Beets.

General Manager Bidwell of the Elkhorn
is personally interesting himself in the effort
to induce farmers along the line of the road
east of O'Neill TO experiment in the culture
Of sugar beets. He has issued a circular
letter to the agents of the Elkhorn in the
territory mentioned, in whiCL he says this
industry is now taking its position as one of
the most important likely to be developed in
this country, and that capital is seeking in
yestment in this direction. He urges that
it is exceedingly desirable farmers adjacent
to the Elkhorn should take such opportuni-
ties they have for raising sugar beets for the
factories now in operation in order TO demon
strate that the communities around which
they live are capable of raising the beets,
that if an opportunity offers factories may
be secured for their territory.
Mr. Bidwell tenders his services TO any
community along his line in doing what he
can to assist the farmers in making start
in this direction, and says if there is any
difficulty in securing contracts with the
Norfolk or Ames factories he will make an
effort to secure preference so far as he can
for such farmers as would like to experiment
with the product.

FAIL TO SECURE A QUORUM
Directors of Old Exposition Discuss
Matters and Adjourn Until
April.

Another EFFORT to secure the attendance Of
a quorum OF the members OF the Board OF
Directors of the Transmississippi Exposi-
tion failed by a narrow margin Saturday
and after spending an hour in discussing a
number Of the questions that vex the clos
ing labors of the directory an adjournment
was taken to saturday April l, without ac-
tion.
A motion by Mr.. Wilhelm to reconsider
the vote Of the preceding day, by which the
secretary was instructed TO send the Rock
Island railroad polite invitation 10 60 into
court to enforce it's claim for stock In the
exposition association, was the first thing
that was informally considered and after a
brief discussion the whole matter was laid
on the table until the next meeting.
Mr.. Bdwell suggested that 1t would be a
good plan to ascertain at once just what
claims are outstanding against the assoca-
tion and what they can be settled for. Mr..
Lindsey explained that the executive com
mittee is working on these claims constantly
and that, in his opinion, the settlements are
being pushed as rapidly as good business
sense will permit This phase of the dis
cussion was settled by a motion by Mr..
Hitchcock by which the executive commit
tee was instructed to settle no claims after
April l. but to contest to the end all that
remain unsettled on that date.
The final discussion occurred on the ques-
tion of an additional distribution OF assets
which has been up in one form or another
at every meeting during the last two
months. The result was the same as pre-
viously and Mr.. Hitchcock's motion to make
10 per cent distribution on all paid UP
stock was laid on the table until the next
meeting by a vote of Is to 9.

100000 day In busy times it runs over
$500 600
Frank J Morar,y cashier ot the Pack
era National bank said that an South
Omaha banks kept accounts in the Omaha
banks and that all transactions between the
South Omaha banks have heretofore been
settled by checks on Omahs banks and these
passed through the Omaha clearing house.
Now all settlements are made on balances
instead OF each bank giving check to the
other banks for the whole amount
I'm Illustrating the new system Cashier
Mwiarty cited the following The Union
Stock Yards National bank holds checks on
the South Omaha National bank for. say.
Sl5COO0. while the South Omaha National
bank has checks on the Stock Yards bank
for $3.50 600 These checks are exchanged
here and the difference. amounting to 500
600 is paid by check through the Omaha
clearing house This check for $50 600 will
on the records OF the clearing house repre-
sent the amount of business transacted when
In reality it amounts to S2S0ooo.
Just what the arbitrary ruling made by
the Omaha banks was is not stated by the
local bankers. 1t may be stated, however
that bankers here appear very well satisfied
with the new arrangement.

CARRIER GOES BACK TO JAIL
Released Charge of Passin =
Worthless Checks and Arrested
as Vagrant.

Carl CARRIER, who victimized Shaw & Fell
and others OF several dollars each in cash
by means of fictitious orders on a CinCin-
natl firm, discharged Saturday after
noon by Judge Gordon on motion of the city
prosecutor, who did not think he had made
a case against the defendant. CARRIER was
rearrested by the police, as several similar
charges are pending against him. He will
be accused of being a vagrant and suspi-
cious character and the checks used against
him on that charge.
Mr.. Fell related that CARRIER had hung
around his store for several days until he
became fairly well acquainted. He claimed
to be travelling for a Cincinnati house and
was stopping at a good hotel On March
he entered the store and said he knew
some people in the suburbs whom he de-
sired to assist, as thsy were in need OF
food. He described the place where they
lived and ordered SO so worth OF groceries.
He rendered an order on his firm in Gin
cnnat for Ss75 and told Mr.. Fell that il
would be paid if he sent il TO a bank for
collection, as ii would be recognized as a
draft upon his account. Mr.. Fell gave him
$5.15 in change and CARRIER left the store
Immediately, apparently being in a great
hurry. This aroused Mr. Fel's suspicious
and he made up his mind ne had been
leeced, He made no attempt however, To
deliver the groceries or TO find if the check
was good at bank, and 1t was due to this
largely that the was dismissed. The
city prosecutor stated that the order in it
self was worthless and, further that il
would be useless 10 try TO convict the de-
fendant on a similar charge, as it was evil
dent he was obtaining money on something
which bore no value on its face 1t was
rot even indorsed.
When the charge OF vagrancy is tried the
prosecution will endeavor to show that
CARRIER is in the habit OF obtaining money
from people on such orders. Five persons
thus far have confessed that they We're
f1eeced by the old man.

AS we are by nature subject to many dis
cases. the only way to guard against all
attacks on our health is to make study
of our own physical self
If peculiar pain attacks you, try to To-
cate its origin and discover which organ
OF the body is sick and in need of atten-
ton.
If the kidneys are at fault-and in al
most every case in the failing OF our health
they are-look well to their restoration to
health and strength.
They are the great filters of our body
and. consequently. the purity Of the blood
is entirely dependent on their cleansing
powers.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
ditiOn, the blood becomes impreEnated with
impurities and a decay Of the kidneys soon
takes place If your desire 10 relieve your
self Of water increases. and you find it nee
essary to arise many times during sleeping
hours, your kidneys are sick As they
reach a more unhealthy stage, a scalding
and irritation takes place as the water
flows and pain or duh ache in the back
makes you miserable. If your water, when
allowed to remain undisturbed for twenty
four hours, forms a settling or sediment, OF
has a cloudy appearance, you are in the
grasp of most serious kidney disorder
If neglected now the disease advances un.
til the face looks pale or sallow, puffy ol
| dark circles under the eyes the feet swell
and sometimes the heart acts badly.
There is no more serious menace Il
health and strength than any arrangement
of the kidneys.

GORDON LET'S LYNCH OUT
Evidence Not Sufficient TO Hold
the Charge Pre-
ferred.

John Lynch was discharged by Judge
Gordon, who did not think the story of Mrs
May Halterman would be strong enough to
convict the defendant OF burglary. The
propretress of the Mondamin hotel said
that Lynch was in her parlor with some
friends until 4 O'Clock on the morning of the
burglary and that he was not absent to
exceed five minutes al a time
Officers Mitchell and Drummy testified
that Lynch told them that he left the hotel
at II o'clock and went TO another place 10
spend the night.
Mrs, Halterman's Identification OF the de-
fendant was positive, as she said she
would see that face 10 her dying day" as
it had impressed itself upon her so when
she saw him.
Judge Gordon did not think the state had
made case against Lynch and discharged
him.

Rate Question win Not Down.

Local passenger men are still struggling
with the rate question. They have decided
that the s25 cne-way rate plus 81, for second
class tickets. and the SO round trip rate TO
Portland and other North Pacific points shall
remain in force for the homeseekers eX-
curson due on March p, but beyond that
they have reached no conclusion The
stumbling block just now Is the S25 rate
which goes into effect next Monday on the
Great Northern TO these same points, and to
be in force eNry day. The omaha roads
will not be able TO meet that rate at that
time. and what they will do with it is yet
unsettled II has become almost an axiom,
however, that the Omaha roads will meet
any rate which their competitors may make,
and it is not believed that the Great North
erns departure viii be an exception TO the
rule, although the latter road may have a
monopoly on the rate for a few days.

REACHES SUMMIT OF WHITE PASS.
Celebration in Connection with Conn
pIetiOn of RniIrond i'm AInskn.

Celebration in Connection with Com
pletiOn of Railroad in Alaska.
In the realm of railroad construction
there seems to be no limit to possibilities
A copy of the Daily Alaskan, published al
Skagway. has been received, giving an ac-
count of a banquet celebrating the partial
completion OF the White Pass d Yukon rail
road. The banquet was held in a tent on
the peak of the White Pass, 2SS0 feet above
sea level surrounded by snow and with the
thermometer % degrees below zero.
The road had been completed to the edge
Of Uncle Sans territory ana the next work
would be on the soil OF England. Rep
resentatives Of both governments took part
in the celebration and the stars and stripes
and the Union Jack were draped together
The only criticism which might be made
from this end OF the line is that the man
agement might have postponed the event
two days 1t occurred on February 20, while
two days afterward was Washngton's birth
day
The guests OF the railroad company who
participated in the banquet assembled at
Skagway at 10 O'Clock in the morning and
boarded the first passenger train to be op-
Grated over the road. The train consisted
OF two coaches and an engine. One of the
inconveniences OF the trip as recorded by
the Alaskan was the necessity for scratch
ans lhe frost on the windows OF the cars
that the passengers might peer out upon the
scenery along the trip. The passengers
were clad in fur overcoats and other arctic
wearing apparel. The summit OF White
Pass was reached at 30 p IN.
The last half mile TO the summit was
made through an excavation of snow rang
ing in depth from six to twenty feet on each
side of the track. This work OF shovoling
snow along the line Of the road keeps an
army OF nearly 300 men constantly al work.
The start on the return trip to Skagway
