NEBRASKA
THE LAND
OF PLENTY

l wonder why it is that so many men
spent their days working hard on rent
ed farms, barely making enough to get
along, with no great prospect ahead of
owning their own homes, when within a
few hour journey is land of plenty
Inconsistencies all kinds of grain and
fruit can be raised with the least
amount of labor; where cattle and hogs
fed on corn bring 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 infor.
nation about the country send to me fol

about Nebraska. and also for "Tne

On the first and third Tuesdays O
each month during the balance of thi

The new So silver certificates have
been issued. In the middle of the face
is the bust portrait Of one of the his
torial Indian chieltains in full dress of
frs, skins, feathers, shells and other
barbaric ornaments, besides which he
wears a medal presented him by the
president. The figure five, surrounded
by scrolls, appears in each corner of
the face. TO the right of the Indian
portrait is the treasury seal in blue, and
to the left is large ''V" with figure
five superinposed. The open spaces OH
the bill are noticeable, and it is said
this was designed to allow the silk
threads to be more distinctly seen. 1t
It's conceded fact that the most difficult
notes to counterfeit successfully are
those with the least printing and en-.
craving on them, just as it is easier tc
initiate a complicated design than g
simple one. The seal, the serial nun

ed in blue. The back of the note i.

Sumner county farmers are con
fronted with an unprecedented con-
dition this fall. Some of the soft
wheat is so tall that there is danger
of it jointing. If it does this hard
freezing will kill it. An experiment
is being tried near Conway Springs,
which, if successful will prevent it
from jointing, the object being to
hold it back. The outcome of this
experiment will be watched with in
terest. Some people say it is fea-
sible, and will have the desired ef-
feet. The wheat which has attain
ed such phenomenal growth and is
causing anxiety in some quarters is
the soft variety which was sown

benefit of the week of rains follow

purpose of determining the best
route for the extension from Liberal

trip. The corps is expected to ar
rive at any time.
From the proper officials of the
Rock Island company comes the in
formation that the work of construc-
ton will begin in about thirty days.
We understand that the contractors
for construction have agreed to COM
plete the road building in twelve
months, which will make the extern
sion complete by the first of Decem-
Der 1901. The material cars, etc.
are already being shipped to Pratt
preparatory to the movement.
In the yards of this city is the
lumber for the coal chutes and ice
house. 1t is expected that the car
penters will begin work in a few
days.
The round house here which has
only six stalls, has not the capacity
to meet the demand when the work
of pushing the road through begins
and the brick masons and carpenters
are expected to begin the work to
enlarge the building in the immed-
late future. During the next six
months, Liberal will grow very rap
idly and by the time the road is
completed, it will perhaps become
another Hutchinson.
