ously objected. He declared that the ticket
of 1905 should remain intact despite the in

who could set it was entitled to the liberal
nomination. This brought the break and
both started in upon a fierce political battle.

he was an agent for the revolutionary junta.

tial chair.
There were probably never two more Bit
ter political enemies than Gomez and Zayas
in their campaign against each other last
summer. They fought hard and long under
the party names of Miguelistas and Zayistas.
zayas was worsted in the municipal and
provincial elections of August l.. Shortly
afterward the two factions united on &C
count of the success OF the conservatives in
that election, due entirely to the division of
votes between the two liberal factions.
The fight between Gomez and Zayas
arose from the nomination of the two for
the places they now hold by the liberal party
in 1905. In that year the liberals did not
go to the polls and the moderates took
everything. The election was unfair and It
brought about the successful revolt of 1905
and the Intervention and establishment OF
the provisional government.

revolution of 1858 he distinguished him

He was a delegate to the constitutional
convention and was for several years gov
ernor OF Sancti Spiritus. In 1906 he was
one OF the conspirators against Palma.
He was selected to lead all of the revolu-
tionary forces, but before doing anything he
was captured by the government, brought to
Havana and placed in the carcel. Later he
was sent to the penitentiary.

man who begun the work of development as a ~freigher,
all credit to the railroad, all credit to the manufac-
turer, the merchant and the school teacher. But let
us not forget the man who, with his oxen, first began
TO break the raw prairies in the creation of a farm
home-the settler and the homesteader; to him is due
the credit. He is the man who has proved that
the soil of Gage county would reap an abundant harv-
est of almost every known agricultural crop; he is the
man who had the sand and the hardihood, the bravery
to lead the way into the wilderness which had been
counted a barren soil and bring forth results of untold
wealth to mankind. 1t was the homesteader who
really discovered Gage county. All honor to such a

and manufacturing plants. One of these plants has
an annual business of 81 5 $1,000 a year and employs
about 400 men. This city has good
streets, mostly paved with brick. This city has a good
electric light plant. located fifteen miles distant, and
two gas companies. The schools of Beatrice rank
among the best in the west and employ over fifty
teachers. The city is now erecting a new school
building at a cost of 10000.
The pulse of public prosperity is the bank deposits.
In all the lines of industry which together make up
the great sum total of material wealth and prosperity
there are none more essential or of greater Importance
than the character and extent of banking institutions.
Beatrice is as we'll equipped with sound and excellent
conducted banks as any city of its size In the state.
The bankers of Beatrice have prospered because they
are careful, prudent, wise. What they have made
they have saved. The banks are strong because their

!, AVANA, Jan. 27.-General Jose
Miguel Gomez, the new Cuban
president, and DR., Alfredo


IL Zayas, the new vice president,
are two OF the most picturesque figures
in a land full of persons with histories and
dark or brilliant pasts. OF the two Zayas
has probably had the more varied and tenn
pestuous career, for not only has he been
active in a revolutionary way against Spain
aud later against the moderate government
of the republic. but he has also passed sew
eral years in Spanish prisons in the Meiiter-
ranean and In Africa.
Jose Miguel Gomez is a strengthening
man, and with him rests the responsibility
for the life OF the new Cuban republic. He
himself says that had Palma In 1906 hanged
a few of the conspirators he would never
have been overthrow. This is probably
true. and might have been demonstrated had
Palma included Jose Miguel Gomez in the
list OF the nrst condemned to die for treason.

the course he will follow In the event OF a
conspiracy against bis rule. and II he does
follow such . course Cuba Is pretty sure to

judged by comparison with any other. Climate is an
Elusive thing. You enjoy it most when you realize it
