canals are rapidly neariag completion, which will
bring into the highest state of cultivation 150,000
acres of the most prodaetlve land upon which the
sun's rays shine. The citizenship of North Platte
is that of the best afforded by the older states, and
her people are active, progressive and prosperous.
To the industrious, energetic home-seeker from
the crowded east North Platte and Lincoln county
presents unusual advantages. Thousands of acres
of vacant government land, in close proximity to
those already being brought under irrigation, may
be obtained by consulting Ihe United 8tates land
office in North Platte. A letter of inquiry to UU.
8. Begister, North Platte, Neb.," relative to the
above will be courteously answered. Irrigated
farming is no longer an experiment, but has
reached the point where it is acknowledged as
pre-eminently the safest in all seasons method
of conducting agricultural and horticultural oper
ations. The salubrious and life-si vina climate of
Lincoln county, where malaria is unknown and
where pulmonary troubles are unthougut of, is
another incentive to the location therein of those
who are anxious to enjoy the good things of this
Hfo as long as possible. North Platte churches
and schools are above those of eastern communi
ties, the latter being one of the few in Nebraska
permitting the graduate thereof to enter the State
University without an intermediate preparatory
training. The people of the community gladly
welcome the honest, industrious eastern citizen

the upbuilding and development of a comparatively

throughout the state. Reports have
been received from nearly every county
in the state, which show that as yet
there is no cause for the alarm that has
been felt that, in fact, the prospects
are generally of the best.
In suite of the lack of rain, the re-
portsTUidicate that in almost every sec
tion of Nebraska the soil is moist and in
good condition for working and seed
ing. There are a few exceptions to this
general rule, but not enough to make
the outlook at all dubious. It is true
there has been a great lack of moisture,
but the reports indicate that the ground
is not too dry for seeding, and that,
with the rain that came last night and
what will follow in April and May, all
crops will be in excellent condition.
All of the eastern counties report the
soil as in excellent condition,
the southeast more rain is needed at
once. This section was soaked Satur
day. The acreage is reported to be an
average one, both in corn and small
grain, in cue central portion ot tne
state the situation seems to be generally
good.
Title to Owl Lake Settled.
Fort Dodge, la., April J. The ques
tion of title to Owl Lake, which was
drained for farms some time ago by
Georce H. Pearsons and then claimed
as homesteads by squatters as a mean-
dering body of water, was settled today
by President Cleveland signing a certifi
cate of transfer from the government to
the state of Iowa. This state has al
ready transferred it to Humboldt coun
ty, from which Pearsons holds title.
This makes bis ownership perfect. Two
thousand seven" hundred acres were in
volved and the case has attracted gen
eral attention.
Will Arrest Illegal Lincoln Voters.
Lincoln, April 1. The civic federa
tion met Sunday night to take action in
regard to the arrest of a number of
parties with illegal registration. It is
claimed that nearly 100 of the legislative
clerks and othi employes, residents of
other counties, havo registered in Lin
coln and declared their intention to vote
at the mayoralty election. It is said
that the Republicans will retaliate by
wholesale arrests of university students,
who have also registered this spring.
Miners and Operators Agree.
Albia, la., April 1. After hard work
and many concessions, the miners and
operators have agreed upon a schedule
for the coming year. It is the same as
the so-called scale of 1893 and the $2
scale for day wages with the usual
differentials, with the same prices for
powder and smithing, the price shall be
85 cents for the summer months and 90
cents for the winter months.

A deputation of 6,000 strong from the

front of the terrace and when Prince
Bismarck appeared he was greeted with

PnooRESO, Yucatan, April 1. A fish
ing bark just in off the Gulf of Mexico re
ports having encountered two unknown
boats, heavily armed with cannon and
apparently well equipped with all the
munitions of war. When hailed, the
boats made no reply and the Mexican
fishermen, being afraid to make any fur
ther advances, made their escape from
the locality as fast as possible. It is
thought the ships have some bearing on
the Cuban revolution, although it is re
ported that there are pirates, manned by"
renegade Cubans, coasting about the
waters of tho gulf and along the coast
of South America. There have been
numbers of strangers seen within the
past few days in Progreso, Campeche,
Merida and other points in Yucatan,
whose business is unknown and who are
evidently Cubans. It is alleged they
are insurgents and are in Mexico for the
purpose of gaining recruits for the rebel
cause on that insurgent island. Cuba
has many sympathisers in Mexico in the
attempt to thrown off Spanish rule.

miliations in sending ships to Kiel to sa lute
the victors of Woerth and Wisseta
burg. But worst of all, she has endured
the insults of Great Britain without -protest.
Why does she not hide her
flags?" The Temps demands an apology
