OF him. There has been but few cases OF
its kind before and they have been caut ed

used either. but has been a great coffee
drinker and the specialists have decided
that the case has been caused by this.
Leach stated himself that for several years
he had drank three cups OF coffee for break
fast. two at noon and one at night. Ac-
cording 20 the records OF the specialists OF
this country this is the first case ever
caused by the use OF coffee.

case is incurable. The fact that makes the
case a queer one is that the sight forward

retained. According TO the doctors state
ment the young man will have to give up
coffee or the rest Of his sight will follow

OMAHA. Jan 15-To the Editor OF The
Bee: In his Boost for Cherry County"
published in this mornings issue OF The
Bee, Chester Bethune makes a few state
ments regarding the sand hills district &C
western Nebraska that are positively known
TO be untrue by more than forty men who
live in that territory and are guests in
your city today, well as every other
resident in the part of the state referred
to.
He mentions the Dismal river In Cherry
county. when as a matter OF fact not a
foot of its course waters Cherry county
soil. The Dismal river flows through south
ern Hooker county, many miles from the
Cherry county line and there is not 100
acres of tillable Land along the entire length
OF that stream in the county IL being
nothing more than a deep gulch with but
few places accessible for crossing with
team and wagon. True. some few miles
back from the bluffs there Is occasionally
valley that will stand filling for two
or three years. at the end OF which time
the hard winds have transformed II into
! barren waste of white sand.
Having lived in Cherry county a quarter
of century. Mr.. Bethune undoubtedly had
his choice in selecting a home. but his
chasing 1t the favored spot of the west
is statement that would strain the con-
| science OF the ordinary man. II II Is to

enlighten your readers to a seeming height

Again let us say that by far the greater
| portion of the sand hills district OF western
Nebraska is fit only for stock grazing. and
to bear out the statement II is only nee
essary to refer TO the last census OF the

the extent TO which that portion Of NeL
