With a new industry installed in
the buildings vacated by the Norfolk
sugar factory employing more men a
longer time, it is expected that the
city will have gained long point in
her progress and there is every reason
to believe with this valuable property
as an inducement that some important
industry will locate here at an early
date. The property has now been
transferred to the local people who
contributed to the bonus and PROPOSE
tions for its occupancy will soon be
considered. Norfolk already has oc-
cupation to hold the families here
who are occupying its increasing res
idence section, but the increase will
be much more rapid and permanent
when the factory has been converted
into hive of industry employing a
number of workmen.

There Is a possibility that there will
now be a rest for the political weary.
If the governor does not land on that
off-year election deal there will be no
election until a year from next No
vember, and during all that interval
the politicians can be thinking and
planning about what will happen at
that time. and the farmers and the
business men can keep along with
their work of building up in Nebras,
ka the greatest prosperity ever known
here. II will be an interesting expert
ment, to say the least.

Forqet About Your Stomach.

If your digestion is bad the vital
organs of your body are not fed and
nourished as they should be. They
grow weak and invite disease. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat,
cures indigestion and all stomach trou-
bles. You forget you have stomach
from the very day you begin taking
it. This is because it gets a rest--re,
cuperates and gradually grows SO
strong and healthy that it troubles you
no more. e. L. Babcock, Amherst,
Mimi, says: II have taken a great
many remedies for indigestion but
have found nothing equal to Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure" Kodol digests what
you eat, cures Indigestion, dyspepsia
sour stomach, belching, heartburn and
all stomach troubles. Its preparation
is the result of many years of lie

The people of this section of Ne

had none heretofore to place on The

the developing wood lots and groves

year to year that will be a source of

ne sold the timber from the same
tract and received 50 per tree or 81
200 from the tract In 1884 he sold
the timber a third time and received
as much as was secured from the sec

profitable was to select the trees that
had attained their growth for the wood
choppers, and every few years there
