The Making OF Christmas Toys.

The total value of trade in toys has
grown TO tremendous proportions. Ac-
curate figures are not attainable, but
experts estimate that the American
people buy annually between $4,000
600 and $4,000, 900 worth. OF this
sum about One-third goes TO foreign
markets. To offset this Importation
the domestic manufacturers have be-
gun to invade the European markets.
Iron toys, which We make better than
any nation in the world, are sent in
large quantities, especially to England.
Our tin toys, too, are beginning TO
make their way abroad, thanks To their
general superiority. Between 100000
and 5000, 600 games are turned out
every year, and most of them remain
in the United States. Many Of these
games are variations on checkers.
Scores of people are busily at work
day in and day out devising new
games. Few things are more profit
able than successful invention in this
line-Harper's Weekly.

Stanton county. Nebraska, lies i'm
mediately west Of Cunning county, Of
which We recently wrote. Ii, like
Cunning county, is a farming district
in the Elkhorn valley, and directly
on the line of the Fremont, Elkhorn
& Missouri Valley r. r. About fifty
five per cent OF the land is under Gull
tivatiOn. The price for this cultivated
land is S22 TO $40 per acre-some prob
ably higher, and some lower The
unimproved land ranges in price from
$3.50 to $4,000 per acre. and is worth
every dollar of il.
Corn averages about thirty-five bush
els per acre. Wheat about fifteen
bushels per acre. Oats about 40
bushels per acre. The actual number
OF cattle in the county cannot be
stated, but it is about 10000 TO 81, 600
head. and there are quite as many
or more, head of hogs. Inc price of
cattle ranges from 81 TO So per cwt.
Hogs, about 41hc. for good stock.
Corn is worth 80 cents per bushel
This information enables us to see
whether farming pays in Nebraska.
With 50 bushels of corn at 80 cents
per bushel. we have about $40 income
per acre, and as one team OF horses
and one man can care for forty acres
ii shows pretty good returns.
There is not any more beautiful To-
cations in the State, or in any state
than this. The Elkhorn river and sew
eral other running streams OF water.
are found in different parts of the

There are now few excellent farms
for sale at reasonable prices. and on
easy terms. These probably ara

change regular farming for stock
raising, and want to go farther west.
where they can get more land at very
low prices.
Stanton county farms are near to

miles from Omaha.
Many sugar beets are raised in this

SHETLAND PONIES.
They Serve Useful Purpose Despite
Their DfminutIye Size


The Shetland pony, the smallest OF
his race and family, the greatest prize
and possession Of our childhood. saws

birthplace and bringing up. his career
and obsequies. are unique in the his
tory of the worlds domestic animals.
Born in hyperborean islands Of a dim
inutive father and still more diminu-
tive mother. he passes from pasture
to pasture in boats. till he goes to the

companions. Then he descends thou

Of Shetland ponies. Lord London
derry kept famous stud of them, pre-
sumably for use in his collieries. This
stud has been dispersed. but there are
several in the south OF England in
which. by careful breeding, the ponies
are kept small. These are mostly bred
for home use and for ladies' and chill
dren's pets. But in the pits the Shet-
land pony is still indispensable. If it
were not for him coal would be even
dearer than it is. He never goes on
strike, his temper is admirable he
never grows FESTIVE, even if he bumps
his head. which is the only accident
which commonly affiicts him, and to
guard against which the more thought
full owners provide him with a leather
helmet. Now that the pits are lighted
with electric light the ponies sight
does not suffer They have fine stables,
with movable boarded floors, so that
they never suffer from thrush or
cracked heels, and as the temperature
is uniform they do not catch cold

CUDAHY CASE DEVELOPING.
Kdnapers at Omaha May Soon
Be Arrested.
MR. CUDAHY PAID BIG RANSOM
lie Is Out $4,000 TO the Kidnappers
and Is Now willing to Pay $4,000
More for Their Capture-A Mysterious
Crime.

Edward Cudahy, Jr.. 15-year-old son
of Omaha packer and nephew OF
Michael Cudahy, Chicago, was abducted
ransom till 1870 o'clock Thursday
morning, when he returned home.
Mrs. Cudahy made the state
ment that he had been abducted but
declined to talk about the matter
further than TO say her son was safe
and sound. She declined to state
whether any ransom had been paid or
not
The theory OF kidnapping is based
upon q note which reads in substance:
"E. A Cudahy: Your son is safe.
We have him and will take good care
of him, and will return him to you in
consideration of the payment of $685.
600. We mean business. JACK"
The full text of the note is withheld
at the instance of the police They said
it related 70 the place where the
money was TO have been left and
where the kidnapers were to have left
the boy in case Mr.. Cudahy had COM
piled with the terms.
a second note was sent which con-
tanned threat TO use vitriol to burn
the boys body. and as a last resort
put out his eyes. unless the money
previously demanded was ready for
delivery to an agent who would call
for 1t during the night. Further, the
note intimated that the failure Of the
agent to return would indicate that he
had been arrested, and in that event
the boy would be murdered and his
body sunk in the Missouri river Priv
ate detectives who worked on the case
had heard that young Cudahy was an
enthusiastic member of a secret society
at the Creighton university, at which
institution he is a student, and that
the boys had been indulging in a good
many haZing parties of late. They
pretended TO believe that he might
himself have been treated to a dose Of
hazing, and that Il part of the pro-
gramme was that of making his father
believe that he had really been alb
Quoted.
Latest: Edward a Cudahy, the mil
lionaire packer. father of the kidnapped
youth. admits that he paid $4,000 for
the boys return. He made a detailed
statement OF the method of payment,
and his experiences are little less thrill
ling than those of the 15-year-old lad.
Mr.. Cudahy announced he would pay
$4,000 reward for the apprehension of
the abductors Of his son, $4,000 for
one and SIS, 900 for two of them. The
boy said he was taken by the kidnap-
ers when close to his home. A re-
volver was placed at his head and he
was told that he was under arrest. He
was driven a long distance from town
and blindfolded and chained to the
floor Of a musty empty house. His
captors did not talk much.
The house in which Eddie Cudahy
was kept while a prisoner in the hands
of the kidnapers was discovered Fri
day afternoon by the police. 1t was
identified by the boy to the satsfac-
ton OF Chief of Police Donahue The
