NEBRASKA IS RICH.
WARMERS ARE RUSHING INTO
THE BANKING BUSINESS.
Nearly All Institutions in the State
Started During Last Three Years
Have Had Capital Furnished
by Tillers Of the Soil.

Lincoln, Neb.-A computation made
by the state banking board the other
day discloses the fact that the majority
of the stockholders in the 521 state
banks of Nebraska, meaning the banks
in the smaller towns, are farmers. Prac-
tically all the banks started in the past
three years have had their capital fur
nished by farmers.
The high prices that wheat and corn
have brought and the bountiful charac-
ter Of the hay crops have made big
money for most Of the farmers. More Of
them than ever have retired from active
life and turned over their farms to the
boys in the past year.
At the agricultural bureau 1t is esti-
mated that $25 an acre is fair average
Of production for most Of the farms, and
this does not take into account the
money for poultry, eggs and butter fat,
which Is usually sufficient to maintain
a family. Some Of the money has gone
into blooded stock, some has found its
way east through being deposited In
banks that have been lending their sur
plus to New York, Chicago and Boston,
and there is a whole lot that has evil
IDENTIFY been hidden away.
The bank commissioner Of Kansas is
quoted as saying that while there is no
way Of getting accurate figures, he has
reason to believe that there Ia as much
money hidden in socks and under car
pets or buried or carried as is on deposit,
and Commissioner Royce Of Nebraska,
agrees with this opinion. He has no.
ticed that where farmers have started
banks, the cash on hand or on deposit In
other banks does not often show signs Of
decrease, and the only explanation is
that the money deposited has been dug
out Of hiding places.
The last quarterly report showed
$107, ,000, 900 on deposit in all Of the banks
Of the state, including national. II as
much more Is in pocketbooks or buried
this would give per capita Of nearly
$210 In Nebraska.
Several instances are related Of how
young men Of ambition in Lincoln and
Omaha, with training in the banking
business, have gone out into some coun-
try town and induced active and retired
farmers to furnish the principal portion
Of their capital. They were unknown
In most cases to the men to whom they
applied. but their recommendation and
the profitable character Of the business
secured for them all the money they
needed.
One successful young man said tina.
he found the farmers fairly itching to
get into the banking bustness. One Of
these banks, started out in southwestern
Nebraska. numbers IA former populists
in its list Of stockholders. They are all
republicans now, and they find nothing
30 reprehensible about the banking
business.
Country banking has become very
profitable. Six per cent. dividends are
the smallest reported. In one case,
where the owner was manager, and
combined real estate and stock buying
with banking, clear gain Of IS per
cent. was noted in two years. Fifteen
and 20 per cent. dividends are common.

AN ANNIVERSARY.

EORTY YEARS AGO TODAY, in Ap-

knightly Christian soldier that ever
drew a sword in defense Of a cause he
believed 10 be holy. laid down his
sword forever. General Ulysses S.
Grant. than whom there is no more
rugged, picturesque or gallant figure in
American history, received and re-
turned the sword to Lee, IMPLYING by
his act the surrender of Lees army and
his desire to receive his former foes as
blood brothers.
Early in the evening of April g. 1865,
Grant sent out this order:
The war is over; the rebels are again
our countrymen, and the best sign of
rejoicing after the victory viii be to alb

field"

years of bitter, bloody strife, must have

ragged, hopeless. broken hosts Of Lee
They were the words of a brave man
TO brave men, the words of an IN
daunted leader to men whose courage
had time and time again withstood the
fierCest tests. And they were more
than this; they formed a message Of
hope to the broken and shattered
south, they pierced the bIackness that
hung over that devastated land and
gave a rainbow promise of the better
DAYS to come.
Forty busy years have been added to
the worlds affairs since the army of
Lee dispersed from Appomatox court
house. The soldiers who had fought
with Lee and with the other southern
commanders whose surrendors followed

turned 10 their ruined homes. They
found mansions in ashes, plantations

And from this Uuspeakably sad wreck
age they set 70 work TO fashion a new
south. for the old south was gone for
ever.

perhaps, necessary TO the work of up

THE GOSPEL OF GOOD CHEER.

Nj EANWHILE. BRETHREN, don't
AVA forget that this is a pretty good
old world we live IN, and there are
mighty few abiding places in it as
pleasant as Salt Lake.
To be sure. the millennium does not
manifest any immediate signs Of ap-
pearance here. and if it did a good
many people would hardly be in posi-
tion to make an accounting on short
notice; nor S. it certain that everybody
would be satisfied if the millennium
came. The chief point to bear in mind
Is that the gospel of good cheer is good
doctrine for practical every day life,
and Salt Lake needs a liberal appIica-
tion OF it daily for an indefinite time to
come.
IL you don't like the way some things
are run, speak up, e1d speak up loud
enough to relieve your mind of any bill
iousness. Spend a fair amount OF time
on this expression Of your opinion. but
don't work overtime at it because there
are so many important things in this
short life that the man who takes all
his waking hours TO kick in is going to
miss a heap Of fun and set himself Sc
riously disliked.
Then there are so many pleasant
things to think about and talk about
that il would be a pity to overlook them.
For instance. spring IS tip-toeing this
way. She is a little shy about it. and
may hesitate long enough to let winter
give US a farewell storm or two. but
the JOY Of the worlds resurrection can
not he deferred long. and it is near
enough to inventory as an asset. The
man who can't cheer up when the sun
shines as often as it does here. ana
when all nature is inviting him to for
get his troubles, is about ready for the
last farewell, and SO far as his neigh
bors are concerned, they would file no
serious objection to his departure for
the pearly gates.
With all the difficulties that have
arisen or may arise, Salt Lake is going
ahead. It is building more homes, doing
more business, opening up a bigger
trade territory. and developing the
mines of the state on a bigger scale

A PROPER OBJECTION.

n ISTRICT Attorney LoOfbourow very
- properly objects to the consum-
nation of the alleged contract between
the county attorneys office and the
three bounty swindIers, Jones. Hanna
and Meyer, by the terms Of which
these swindlers, in consideration OF Civ
ing evidence against other defendants,
were TO be given practical immunity
from punishment According to the at
torney for the men named, it was I'M
derstood that Jones, Hanna and Meyer
would be sentenced to serve not more
than six months in jail.
The district attorney now intervenes
TO prevent this travesty Of justice. He
tells the court that he was not a party
to the agreement. and that he will not
consent to light sentences for the men
who were the principals in the bounty
rascality. Mr.. LOofbourow's position is
entirely correct, and it viii be en-
dOrsed by all who believe that equal
and exact justice should be measured
out by the courts of the state.
1t is quite apparent to the ordinary
observer, although it does not seem to
nave bSeh apparent TO the county at
torney's Office, that the conviction of
every man under arrest in connection
with the bounty frauds is practically
certain, and this without the testimony
Of the criminals. Jones, Hanna and
Meyer. These rascals, knowing their
punishment would be sure, were very
glad to enter into an arrangement by
which their terms in prison might be
shortened. The wonder is that the
county attorneys office even considered
the proposition.
There is abundant reason for believ-
ing that Jones, Hanna and Meyer were
more guilty than any of their accom-
plices- Jones especially seems to have
planned the rObberies- He drew into
1t some others who. under the law, are
now equally guilty with him, but moral
~ he is twice as guilty. 1t is not at
all likely that Jones and Hanna and
Meyer, since Mr.. LOOfbOurOw has inter
vened, will be allowed to escape with
out just measure of punishment.
The state cannot afford to condone
crimes of this character, for to condone
them is to encourage them.

The changed condition in Lincoln

ton from Mr.. Short published in The
Herald on March 20. When the Nevada
legislature killed the ti-gambIing bill
The Herald offered some criticism of
the action. In reply to this, MI Short
sent IN communication in which he
pointed out that Lincoln county. al
