Plucked by a "Princess"
About six weeks ago 'Trlncess"
Khan Oola, who proclaimed that she
aalled from the shadow of the Hima
layas, came to Omaha from the cot
ton fields of southern Oklahoma. She
announced herself as a "seeress,
prophetess, finder of lost husbands"
and other things calculated to draw
business from the curious and the
susceptible. The "Princess" landed
ib jail, accused of obtaining money
. ander fal3e pretenses, but meantime
he accumulated $10,000, 200 rings
f more or less value, a dozen trunks
full of silks and other rich garments,
an automobile and other valuables.
Phe caught the current of buslnes
promptly vii'jti her arrival, and it
wasn't more than ten days after her
coming that she required tho auto
mobile in oredr to respond to tho
calls for her puwers of penetrating
the future. AnU slio didn't have to
part with any of her cash to get pos
session of tho car. So far as report
ed, not a rancher or farmer became
acquainted Willi Mine. Oola.
Half a century ago an addition to
tho city of Omaha was platted on a
big flat near the city. Ten years or
so later the Missouri river took a no
tion to shift its course, and that plat
was burled under something like 35
fet of water, where It still remains.
During tho past six months the reg
istry of deeds in Omaha has been
swamped with instruments convey
ing property "in a certain addition to
the city of Omaha, no lot in the addi
tion being more than a mile from
the heart of the city." Now the
deeds are good and wholly legal, hut
an expert diver would be an indis
pensable means of locating tho land,
which is swept by a current averag
ing at times about 10 miles per hour.
It was simply an opportunity that
Impressed itself upon sharpers and
they unloaded it upon city people.
ltvult) Men Hit by Ketty Scheme
Other schemers exercised their
wits upon realty agents with amazing
success, In view of the fact that the
game was one that the latter should
have known all about. Representing
themselves as owners of farming
property or city lots, these sharpers
contrived to obtain loans of surpris
ingly large sums from real estate
men in various parts of the state, but
none from farmers.
The "wild horse'" game has al
ready become a matter of nation
wide knowledge, and is referred to In
connection only because tho last of
the gang has Just been placed where
he will forego swindling activities for
a spell. These: schemers sold "wild
horses" which were running in large
droves over the plains of Arizona.
They were, in fact, so wild that thoy
are still running and the Nebraska
farmer doesn't care a dern If they
run their legs off.

A Cordial Invitation and a Hearty Welcome
t
to the
Great Revival Campaign
First M. E. Church, Alliance, Nebr., Commencing
Sunday, March 25th, 1917
Under Direction of Rev. C. S. Nusbaum, D. D., of
Colorado Springs, Assisted by Mr. Folsom
Jackson, Singer
KVANCiKLIST
ANU LF.CTL'KEK
To every person within
reach of the First Method
ist Episcopal church of Alli
ance, on and after Sunday,
March 25, 1917, a cordial
invitation is extended to at
tend the Great Revival Cam
paign that will begin on
that date, under direction of
Hev. C. S. Nusbaum, D.D..
of Colorado Springs.
Dr. Nusbaum is a preach
er and lecturer- of great
ability. With on9 excep
tion, he is probably the most
widely known and popular
evangelist In America today.
The influence and helpful
ness of the revival cam
paigns conducted by him are
not confined to the churches
In which they arc held. It
is fortunate, not only for
the First M. E. church but
also for the other churches
of the city and the commun
ity as a whole, that Dr.
Cams, the pastor, was able
to secure the services of Dr.
Nusbaum.

SING EH OF
ItAKH AMLITY
Singing has always been
an important factor in suc
cessful revivals, but more
than ever in recent times.
The great revival meetings
held by Dwight L. Moody In
America and England a few
.decades ago would have
been less effective had they
not been participated in by
Ira D. Sankey, the sweet
singer. The "Billy" Sunday
campaign would be Incom
plete without Homer Uhode
heaver, organizer and di
rector of the big chorus
choirs.
The music for the Alli
ance campaign will be un
der direction of Folsom
Jackson, a vocalist and
choir leader of rare ability.
Combined with his musical
talent, Mr. Jackson's inter
est in religious work Is such
as to give a spiritual uplift
to the meetings in which he
assists. That he will have
the co-operation of the sing
ers of the other churches Is
desired.
Opinions of Press and Pulpit

"I have known Dr. C. S. Nusbaum for twenty years or more and I have heard him apeak and I
think he is one of the most forceful and attractive speakers I have ever heard." William Allen
White, Editor Emporia Gasette.
Galeburg Evening Mail
Dr. Nusbaum has a strong, clear voice which he knows how to use effectively. ... He
preaches a good, wholesome, manly, victorious Gospel, and preaches it in a most brotherly and manly
fashion. Galesburg (111.) Evening Mall, Monday, March 8, 1916.

I have heard a great many evangelists, both denominational and union, during the twenty-four
years that I have been continuously engaged as pastor and I sincerely believe that Evangelist C S
Nusbaum. D.D.. Is second to none It has been my privilege to hear. D. A. Youtsey. Pastor of the
Church of Christ.
Henry Allen, Wichita Ilearon
I have known Dr. C. S. Nusbaum for years. 1 have heard him on a wide variety of subjects
It is seldom that a man with such undoubted oratorical powers gives to the preparation of his lectures
and sermons such thought and research as has Dr. Nusbaum. Henry Allen, Wichita Beacon.

FOLKOM JACKSOX, Sinner
To Whom It May Concern:
I take great pleasure in giving a word of commendation for Mr. Folsom Jackson Aa an evan
gelistic singer, he la a real success in organizing and conducting a chorus. He possesses a rare tenor
voice, pleasing and penetrating. His solos will be an attraction to any meeting. He takes with the
young people and he takes hold of them, too. I heartily recommend him. FRED MESCH.

Brother rolsom Jackson had charge of Grace Church choir the last year he was In College It
affords ine pleasure to say that Mr. Jackson rendered excellent service. He is a worthy Christian
gentleman. He has a very wholesome influence over young people. I found him very helpful in
many ways. He had charge of the work during our revival service and led the congregational sing
ing in an Inspiring manner. w. W. BOLLINGER, Pastor Orace M. E. Church.

Following the receipt of the let
ter tho writer noticed n account of
a wrestling match participated In by
Kklund at Kdgcmont a week ago
Friday. The following account is
taken from the March 9 Issue of tho
Edgemont Enterprise and Is printed
to give so no Idea of the wrestler
who challenges five local men:
"Iist Friday night, at the local
gymnasium, was staged an exhibition
of the wrestling game that was very
entertaining to those who were for
tunate enough to be there. The au
dience consisted of about 100 en
thusiasts of the sport, J hero being a
number of ladles In attendance. The
entire evening was one of good, clean
exhibitions of wrestling, boxing and
fancy roping. Near Heavyweight
Champion Jack Taylor and Clarence
Kklund of Lincoln wero the star per
formers, and they surely aro artists
at the game. Taylor being the lara-
.er man of the two, it was a simple
matter for him to handle any and all
comers fn quick time, in fact he pin-
lieu uuuiuie uceue a Buouiacrs 10 me
mat in five seconds. Several of our
local aspirants tried their hand with
these two athletes but were as pig
mies, as they were handled about as
it suited Taylor and Eklund.
"Vessey Jones and a fireman on a
switch engine in the local yards gave
a three-round sparring exhibition,
which was enjoyed by all and was
followed by a young fellow with a
fancy roping turn. His stunt was
good but the fellow seemed to bo
somewhat out of practice. Taylor
and Eklund demonstrated some of
the holds used by successful wrest
lers and both seemed to be experts
in their line. Taylor has a match In
the near future with Champion Joe
Stecher of Dodge, Nebr., the date
and meeting place not having been
agreed upon."

ADOS TO LARGE

Thirty-eight New Store Opened In

ers wirli Kubler oori
One of the most Important moves
made in the rubber and automobile
industries for sometime was the an
nouncement coining from the office
of W. O. Rutherford, general sales
I manager of the B. F. Goodrich Com
pany, Akron, O., about March 1, giv
ing information regarding the open-
'ing of thirty-eight new stores to sup
ply dealers only. This will broaden
the Goodrich sales organization now
I represented In practically every lm-
'portant city of the United States.
j These new stores will serve as
distributing points for dealers In
their territories and will relieve the
various Goodrich branches of a
great portion of the increased busi
ness they have been obliged to han
dle up to this time.
I The men who have been selected
to manage these new stores have
taken an eight weeks' educational
course at tho Akron factory, under
the personal direction of A. Koehler,
preparing them to handle their new
offices and teaching them the sales
policies applying to each of the Good
rich products which they will han
dle. The Goodrich Company has no
: doubt established a precedent by
; selecting these managers and their
! assistants from among well-known
!men in each of the cities which gives
;the men the advantago of a wide ac
quaintance.

Beatrice, Nebr. Petitions are In

for the purpose of submitting a prop
osition to the voters for the issuance
of $50,000 bonds to be used In en
larging the city electric light plant,
permitting the city to engage in
commercial lighting. At an election
some months ago a proposition to
vote $25,000 bond was defeated,
many favoring municipal lighting op

A Song of the Sandhills
The following jiootu from the pen of Sabina Penrod ap
pearcd in a recent issue of the Hay Springs News.
Through the centre of Nebraska
Lies a stretch of grazing land,
Long agft, perhaps the red man
Wandered ore its shifting sands
Sands that shifted with the east winds
Sands that shifted from the west,
Mixing clay and sand and humus
Made a soil that stands the test.
Long ago perhaps the water
Covered hill and covered plain,
Leaving chemical deposits
That now with the soil remain;
Then the waters deep, subsided,
Leaving hills and valleys wide
Hills that now arc verdant pastures,
Valleys that are now our pride.
Copious rains came with the south wind,
With the north winds came the snow,,
Itain and winds have shaped the hillsides
And the valleys down below
Valleys that are rich with humus,
Made through ages that arc gone,
Rich thru soil accumulating
Since the valleys were begun.
Then the rainbelt, shifting westward,
Made the climate more complete.
Drenching hillsides and the valleyB
With its rain and snow and sleet
Rain that watered every grass seed
Wafted in upon the breeze,
Watered other little seeds
That now have grown to sturdy trees.
Grass now covers all the hillsides
And the valleys in between,
Where once vast herds of cattle pastured
Happy homes may now be seen.
Tor Moses Kinkaid saw the future. '
Knew that homes could here be made,
Framed and got a bill thru congress
That would many people aid.
Six hundred and forty acres,
Uncle Sam gave as a home
To each w idow, man ami old maid
Who would on it build a home.
So the country has been settled,
Scarce a vacant claim is found
Where one time the cowboy wandered
With his cattle o'er the groutid.
Here grow fields of rye and barley,
Cane, alfalfa, corn and wheat,
Beans, fruit and every vegetable
That is good for man to eat.
Here are beef and pork and mutton,
Poultry, fish and finest cream,
liutter made by common country maiden
Of finer fare one could not dream.
Here we see the golden sunset,
Rest, and then the glorious sun
Rises o'er our grassy hilltop
And another day's begun.
When you rise, give to your maker
Praises that your lot is thrown
In such healthful, pleasant places,
With a "Kinkaid" all your own.
