NEBRASKA
THE LAND
OF PLENTY

wonder why it is that so many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is a land of plenty
Nebraska-where all kinds Of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for "The Corn Belt" a
beautifully illustrated monthly
paper that tells all about Nebraska,
and also for "The West Nebraska
Grazing Country" an interesting
illustrated booklet containing a
large sectional map of Nebraska.
On the first and thili Tuesdays
of each month during the balance
of this year cheap excursion
tickets will be sold over our road
to Nebraska, so that people may 90
and see for themselves. Ask your
ticket agent about this.

A PLAIN LETTER CASE.

well over the edges.
To hang it up, use broader ribbon
of the same color as that used to cross
off the face of the board; or brass
ring, with a screw attached, such as
may be bought at any large hardware
store, may be screwed through the
ienen and into the board at the top.
Thus finished, you have a card rack,
or, if the crossing of the ribbon is not
too close a letter rack, that will be
very useful if hung near a writing
desk.
Another way to treat board of the
same dimen..ons is to cover it with
cotton batting and then with blouse

of crossing it with ribbon, use a long

There Is Great Decrease in the Sup
 ply Caused by the South African War.

The London papers note that the supply of ostrich plumes in that city, ,the center of the trade, has been great ly curtailed by the South African war. It is said that there will be a deficiency of nearly $27o.o00 worth of feathers at the next sale in Mincing lane. To these sales, which take place six times year, buyers come from every part of the continent, and even from Amer ica. Over $4,000, 900 worth of feathers are sold every year, making an average of S675, 900 at each sale. Since the cap ture of the khartoum there has been a steady supply of ostrich feathers from Barbary and. though the South African feathers still command the higher price, their supremacy is threat ened by the Barbary feathers. At Mine ing lane the cost of the feathers ranges from S7.50 to S75 or Ss0 per pound weight The best wing feathers give about no to 120 to the pound, and at the highest price this works out at less than 75 cents each. As many of the white feathers scarcely need cleaning, and as dyeing and curling are very in expensive either the middleman or the milliner must reap handsome profits from the fashionable weakness for these beautiful feathers. The smaller feathers from the tail and body of the bird are used for boas.

 should be so arranged as to admit of en- largenent from time to time. l urgently recommend that the Congress take early action in this matter.
 1 transmit to the Congress a resolution adopted at recent meeting Of ti,e Amer icaE Bar Association concerning the pro- posed celebration of John Marshall Day February 1, 1901. Fitting exercises have beer arranged, and it is earnestly desired by the committee tlat the Congress may -articipate in this movement to honor the memory of tie great iurist.
 The transfer Of the Government to this city is a fact of great historical interest. Among the people there is q feeling of genuine pride ill the Capital of the Re public.
 It is matter of interest in tkis con
 rcction that in 1860 the population of
 the District of Columbia was 1i,0o3; to-
 day it is 27S.T1S. The population of the city of Washington WAS then 3,210; to- | day it is 21S,106.
 The Congress having provided for 'an l appropriate national celebration of the Centennial Anniversary of the Estab-
 lishment of the Seat of Government in | the District of Columbia" the commit tees authorized by it have prepared
 programme for the 12th of December. i 1900. which date has been selected as i the anniversary day. Deep interest has | been shown in the arrangements for the 1 celebration by the members of the cor.- i mittees of the Senate and House of Rep 1 rcsentativcs, the committee of Governors appointed b.! the President, and the corn | mittees appointed by the citizens and in i habtants of the District Of Columbia generally. The programme, in addition ! to I reception and other exercises at the | Executive Mansion. provides commenl- orative exercises to be held jointly by | the Senate and House of Representatives | in the Iuli of the House Of Representa- ] lives, and q reception in the evening at
 the Corcoran Gallery of Art in honor Of
 the Governors ot the States and rerrito- | ries.
 In our great prosperity we must guard | E2nce in G0vern:AeEt expenditures and | appropriations: and the chosen repre-
 senatTcs of the people will, I doubt net, | furnish an example in their legislation ef
 that wise economy which in q seascn of | plenty husbands for the future In tli:s | era of great business activity and cppor- | tunity caution is Eot uuliEely. It will | net ahatc. bat strengthen. confidence.

 for the more effective maintenance of

 ness depend. Let Us keep always in | mind that the foundation of our Govern

We Spring from Mud.

A good deal of pleasure appears to have been elicited by the proofs which a German professor has made public to show that we are not descended from apes, says London Truth. It would seem that the apes branched off from the direct line of descent about the time that we did, and that they are, consequently, our cousins good many times removed and not our remote .erandfathers. Personally it is a mat ter of perfect indifference to me wheth- CT I descend from an ape or whether the ape is only my cousin. During the period that covers the life of a planet. or. I suppose, of star, there is conn .paratively brief period when the heat aud the humidity produce vegetation, eA.d tie outcome of vegetation is ami anal life, if, indeed. there is any clear line of demarkation between, animal aud vegetable life. We and the apes alike descend from protoplasmic mud, one of the most recent discoveries be- Ing that all mo- scnles are self-con- fained electric battery.

Title Given to Ornate Language of Partly Educated Natives Of India.

Raboo English is the descriptive title given to the extremely ornate language in which many two-thirds educated natives of India express themselves.

Stevens gives an example of baboo English in his book, 'In India" It is a feeble effort to express admiration for the speech of President Madam Mohan Malavayya at a native con- gress.
 His speech is as mellifiuous as his name. He has Q sweet voice and is one of the most enthusiastically well comed of men on the congress plat form.
