Spokane Organizations

The dancing club known as the
North Side Bachelors have disband-
ed until the passing Of the Lenten
season.
This society Is composed Of young
men who believe in furthering the
cause of devotion to the fair sex and
who assume the title bachelor" in
order to drop a gentle hint that they
have not yet entered the ranks of
the Benedicts and are still at auction
for any young lass who may desire to
capture them.
Tho bachelors give a dance at Fra
ternal Brothers hall twice a month,
and upon that occasion every hand
some young lady in town is invited
to attend so that they may have
an opportunity of forming the ac-
quaintance of the men who are to be
numbered among bubbles" Of the
future.

There is also society on the
North Side known as the ''Bache-
lor Maids" which Is reputed to be
the ladies' auxiliary of the "bache-
lors' club"
In order to gain admittance to
either of these clubs it is necessary
in the first place to be of youthful
and handsome appearance. and. In
the second place, one must be well
equipped with all the graces and re-
finement of modern society.
The chief requisite, however. seems
to be that member must be ready
to accept" or propose" when the
occasion presents itself. so that too
many men may not pass through
life without a fond one to whisper
to them words of love and consola-
ton.
The Bachelors club will hold cleo
ton of officers Immediately at the
close Of Lent.

Land Investments

Never in the history of central and
western Nebraska has there been such
activity among land buyers as at this
time. Scores of renters, and men who
are buying for speculation, and men
who are selling their high priced land
and going further west where they
can get cheaper, are out there picking
up the best bargains. The crops
throughout this section are much bet
ter than crops in eastern Nebraska
this year; 40 bushels of wheat and SO
bushels of corn being a very common
average. 1t will be great advantage
to land buyers to get on the ground
at an early date before the choice
bargains are picked up and the price
materially advanced.
The following are few land bar
gains we have to offer this week:
No. A24-640 acres in Buffalo county,

Price. 81 800: or the owner will make
contract to take for his land the
amount equal to what the crop raised
on the land this year sells for. We
can offer number of pieces of land
where the crop raised this year will
sell for more money than the owner
asks for the land. We submit that this
offers good opportunity for invest
ment.
