Affects Liquor interests.

Congress has just passed new law
affecting the liquor interests, that will
extend a helping hand to the legiti-
mate, legalized liquor dealers of the
whole country. The law provides that
collectors of internal revenue shall
furnish to prosecuting attorneys certi.
fed copies of liquor licenses issued by
them. This means that the road of
the blind pig" and drug store saloon
whisky sellers will be strewn with
rocks in the future. 1t will be a weap
on by which the prosecuting attorneys
can get evidence against the blind
pigs, as the possession of federal tax
receipt will be prima facie evidence of
illegal sales. The blind pigger will
thus be placed between two fires. II
he is not entered on the lists of fed
eral taxpayers the revenue officers will
be on his trail. But in case he is en-
tered on the federal tax list, while he
VIII avoid the wrath of Uncle Sam.
the new law will force the collectors
OF internal revenue to furnish the list
to the local authorities and that will
be prima facie evidence against him.

RENT PAYS FOR LAND.
Fertile Sections of the Southwest,
Where Land Sells for $15 and
Rents for SIS Per Acre


One of the remarkable things about
eastern Arkansas and northern Louis.
lana is the fact that cleared land rents
for S5 per acre cash, and can be bought
for $3.50 to $15 per acre. It costs
from Sc to $40 an acre to clear it.
Other improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made. 1t
produces a bale of cotton per acre,
worth $45 to $50. This accounts for
its high rental value. Other crops,
such as corn, small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields to cuttings, a ton
to cutting, and brings $40 to SIG per
ton.
In other sections of these states,
and in Texas as well, the rolling or
hill-land is especially adapted to stock
raising and fruit farming. Land is
very cheap S. to SO per acre; i'm.
proved farms so SIS to S25 per acre.
The new White river country offers
many opportunities for settlers. High.

There Is No Truth In the Statement
That Ft, Nobrara Is to be Aban-

O'Neill, Neb., July 27.--Special to
The News: The report has become
current that Fort Niobrara, near Val
entine, in Cherry county, Is to be
abandoned as "a military post. The
removal of the colored troops sta
toned at Fort Niobrara to posts in
Texas has been taken as an indica-
ton that the place was to be aban-

cation from William IL. Taft of the
war department to Congressman Kin
kaid of the Sixth district. Secretary
Taft sends the following to Judge Kin
kaid:

15.-My Dear Judge Kinkaid: There
Is no truth in the statement that Ft.

contrary, 1t will be retained for mill
tary purposes, especially that of en-
campment. | have just directed the

to attach some blame to the Nebraska
delegation in congress for the alleged
abandonment of Ft. Niobrara, but

retained, as 1t was slated for aban-
donment three years previous to Judge
Kinkaid's election to congress.
