CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.

Sutton Advertiser-News: Hon. s. W.
Christy Of Edgar has consented to make the
race for congress. II he secures the NOM
inaton he will surely be elected.
Wausa Enterprise-Herald: w. W. Young
Of Stanton county, state senator and lawyer,
will be a candidate before the Third district
republican congressional convention. Mr..
Young has many friends throughout the
district who are urging him to be a candi-
date. That Mr.. Young is good timber there
is no question.
Bradshaw Republican: Probably among
all the candidates seeking the republican
nomination for congress in this district
there is no ADLER, cleaner or better qualified
mar than Hon. e. J. Hainer of Aurora,
and, while all who are seeking are good
men, from our opportunities OF viewing the
situation, Hainer 10 the strongest man for
the race.
O'Neill Frontier: The list OF congress
slonal candidates as it now stands in the
Sixth district is given by the Kearney Huh
in this fashion: Beeman and Goodell OF
Buffalo, Grimes of Lincoln, Currie of Gus
ter, Cady Of Howard and Kinkaid Of Holt
There is no lack Of good timber for con-
gress and any one Of the above would be a
credit to their district,
st. Edward Sun: H. c. Vail, Boone coun-
tvs candidate for congress before the con-
gressional convention, is meeting with fat
tering success wherever his name is pre-
sented. Boone county is a republican
county and will roll up a splendid ma
jority, and thus deserving of recognition
when they present a candidate. Our can
didate is qualified In every respect and II
nominated will put in some hard work to
be elected
York Times: The st. Paul Republican
brings out A. g.. Cady as a candidate for
congress in the Sixth district and starts
him IN the road with an endorsement and
an argument that does credit to both Mr..
Cady and the Republican. So another strong
man is added to the number who are ready
to make the race In that district, where the
fight has been as hopeless as thankless
ever since the district was organized. Last
year 1t gave a republican majority and this
year will increase 1t.
Grand Island Independent: It is stated
hat Hon. w. A. Prince will be a candidate
for the congressional nomination of the re-
publicans of the Fifth congressional dis

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Significant Demonstration of Its
Superior Value.

"a 49,
A striking demonstration Of the value Of
newspaper advertising was recently made
by the Messrs. Harper 4 Bros. OF New
York, one OF the largest and most widely
known publishing houses OF the country.
No Arm in the whole world, probably, has
so complete a system and such extensive
facilities for reaching the reading public
without going beyond their own personal
resources as has Harper & Bros. For half
a century or more their name has been
familiar to readers OF the better class OF
literature the world over. and heretofore a
mere announcement through their regular
channels has been considered all that might
probably be done in the way OF introducing
q new book or publication TO the public.
The manager Of the nrm, however, re-
Gently became convinced that newspaper
advertising might be made to add some
what to the profits Of his arm. In order
to test the correctness Of his ideas, he
selected two books of what is known in
trade nomenclature az popular fiction"
Each Of these had enjoyed fair favor upon
their initial appearance and had sold about
equally we'll. One was by . we'll known
and popular author and the other by a
writer who had yet to win his spurs.
The comparatively unknown writer's
book was selected for newspaper
advertising. while the production of the
one with the established reputation was
pushed through the regular channels Of the
arm. This was after the two books had
been on sale for a year upon absolutely
even terms and with practically equal
sales.
The result was a complete surprise, both
to the Harpers' manager and to the news
paper advertising agents who had Joined in
urging the test. During the seconds years
sales the book that had been given the ad-
vantage OF newspaper advertising out
stripped the other by over 200. 900 copies.
thts proportion of sales continuing nFss=
tically unchanged throughout the year.
although the advertisement had been given
but one Insertion and that In only the lead
ing newspapers OF the larger cities OF the
country.
A fsirer or a more conclusive test could
hardly have been devised and the results
have been accepted by large business nrms
everywhere as demonstrating beyond ques-
tion that newspaper advertising. when in
telligently employed. is par excellence the
most valuable-and. judged BY compare
tive results, the eheapest-medium for
EsaehtpE the great massea Of the people.

the question Of their development is

will be good policy on the part of the
government to promote these in every

Theodore Roosevelt is rendering a serv-

rise of populism, satisfy the we'll grounded
feeling that something sincere and effectual
must be done to curb the aggression Of the
few against the rights and interests Of
