This great stock medicine is a
monoy Haver for slock raisers. It
is a medicino, not a cheap food or
condition powder. Though put up
in coarser form than Thedford's
Black-Draught, renowned for tho
euro of tho digestion troubles of
persons, it has the samo qualities
of invigorating digestion, stirring '
up tho torpid liver and loosening
tho constipated bowels for all stock I
and poultry. It is carofully pro
pared and its action is so healthful
that stock grow and thrivo with an
occasional doso in their food. It
cures hog cholera and makes hogs
grow fat. It cures chicken choler'
and roup and makes hens lay. It
cures constipation, distemper and
colds in horses, murrain in cattlo,
and makes a draught animal do
moro work for tho food consumed.
It gives animals and fowls of all
kinds now life. Every farmer and
raiser should certainly give it a
trial.
It costs 25c. a can and savca ten
times its prico in profit.

hard on account of a Mjnlb we had In
two wne.k.s ago about bin oppoHltlou to

an old political coward, an old lo.wll,
whose political soul in not IiIb own,

Too had, isn't It? Hut wo woti'd like
to ask who is paying l5ro. Stuck for his
opposition to Good. lie line been
appealing to (Jnod'n opponents to put
up money to get out a special edition,
and last week announced that the
special edition would be published, vo
wn suppose he has the promise of the

Stuck V Own up, now. You hadn't
ought to take the cash, if you are so
great a reformer unless you are willing
to tell who pnyB it.
IJro. Stuck alao naya hereafter lie
will not support n "yellow dog" jiiHt

that heretofore Stuck has knowingly
supported yellow dogs because t hoy

Ah to Good's telling tia to sic'em, wo

Perhaps Urn. Stuck is in the habit of

DO SALOONS PAY?
Hliuboi t (JIMzen.
Editor Citizen We lmvo been asked
lately several limes if; tho Hainan was
not a good thing for tho town, over the
bool legging Hystuin. Here is our
answer.
Heforo Stella hud a dance hall and
palooiiB, she had live churches all with
preachers, and good congregations.
Now that she has a dance hall and two
saloons she lniHti't a resident minister
in tho town and but poor congregation.
In Shubert without saloons, wo had
two good congregations of church
members and two preachers. Now
with two saloons we have only one
half paid preacher part of the time
and no congregations to speak of, and
then it H a hard matter to keep
expenses paid.
In Nemaha with no saloons for
voars, sho Iiih three churches with
preachers and good congregations, and
no use for a city calaboose.
And yet with theso fact boforo us
some people tell us that saloons are a
good thing for a town lliiancially, and
especially so for its morals.
Tho man who makes that plea has
no conception of thu present, or the
responsibilities of the futiuo.

GREAT GOVERNMENT
DRAINAGE PROJECTS
The man who can provide Imiro for
indufltilong and stiong armed citizens
is n bHiiolnctor to the rnce, It Hepre
Hentiitlve i5ieei)erion of Minnesota can
push IiIh swamp loolmiiiitloii ivetinutu
to (inaultnunt into a law, he will be
deserving of the praise yf not only this
but future generations. Ilia bill in a
practical extension of the old home
Btead Idea, or rather, put haps, an
unnlh'Utinti lo Die vast ineim of our
,., ,,,,, llf ,,, ,,, ,,,.,,,
the national irrigation law.
There are in the neighborhood of
100 000,000 acies of swamp lands in the
United States. Mime 10,000,000 of which
havo been surveyed, and the great bulk
would make splendid farms, if thu
excess of water werodrained off.
Thu Steenerson bill provides for tho
beginning of tho work of reclamation
of these huge areas. The measure
Is framed alter the Irrigation law: it
provides that the receipts from the
sales of public lands in thu nou-1
irrigation stales shall constitute a
"drainage" fund to be expended by the
Government in great drainage works,
and further. Mia:, the cost of si on
drainage Khali hu prorated among t e
land buuelltted and paid back" by the
settlers Into the ''fund," to be used
over again for additional reclamation
work.
This plan of developing the internal
resources of the country and making
homes of waato places, is f plendid In
its scope, and appears to bo entirely
practical and prolUahle. Take for
instance. Die single examplo of the
BWanip lands of the Kankakee ltivi r
basin in Indiana and Illinois. Heie(
are some dOOjO'X) acres ot t n vei J
richest of bottom lands, but subject to
overllow. They aio worthless excpt
where they have been leclaitnrd
through expensive private drainage
works, when they liavs become worth
.31 00 and SliiO an ncie let i. is
estimated by the government surveyors
and engineers lint tho entire .system
could be effectively drained at a cost in
the neighborhood of 10 an acre. The
samo can be snid of the lands of the
Red River Valley In Minnesota. These
include the linest gram and farm lauds
in tho northwest except that they aie
frequently overflowed. It would be
wortli millions of dollars to the farmers
and settlers who would occupy these
lands in small tracts, to have a perfect
eystom of drainage provided. These
extensive systems, however, especially
where they are interstate, seem to bo
feasible for handling only by the
general government.
Tho Steenerson bill places the entire
management of tho work in the hands
of "tho Reclamation Service and the
plan of operation follows very closely
the irrigation work now being dono by
that branch of the Interior Depart
ment. Government lands, ceded
Indian lands and private lands may be
included in any diainage project, but
in each case, the cost of the drainage
improvement is to be borne by tho
owner of the land amino setMeis can
have drainage provided for more than
1(10 acres, thus insuring the division of
the tracts into small farms which must
be actually settled upon and tilled.
Tho fund provided by the bill would
bo small as compared with the irrigi
lion fund it would approximate half
a million dollars a year and would
start off with about Sl.UOOOOO. the
receipts from thu sales for the ilscal
year 1!H)." being included but on thn
other hand tho cost of drainage would
not be so great as that of irrigation.
In Florida tho everglades alone
almost solid muck beds would a Ho id
an empire of some 7.000.000 acres; in
Now .Jersey and Virginia aro vast
swamps, among them tho famous
Dismal Swamp. In Illinois which is
genorally regarded as a well settled
agricultural state, there aro 4.000,000
acres of swamp land; in Michigan
tlieie are nearly 0.000,000 acres. Fers
tile Iowa has about '.2,000,000 acres of
swamp land In Minnesota there are
almoBt 5,0(10,000 acres of rich surveyed
swamp lands and huge swamp areas
not yet surveyed. Arkimsns has tre
mendous swamp ureas which could bo
drained and made habitable, ami in all
there is u swamp area in tho eastern
half of tho United States which is
equal in extent to tho great agricultural
Btates of Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa,
with threo or four smaller eastern
states thrown in
If the Steenerson bill demonstrates
that the Government can transform
swamps into fertile farm land and that
the settlor or owner will pay back to
wuimi miumu -mnjuwrjuKW
be GuveiMiiMit the relatively Mtia 1
cost of the liiipi iiveinent, theie ceMiM

The yord reoults means a whole lot to the farmer of to-tlny and it is
especially attractive to the homcscekcr or tho3c scchinp new locations.
If we tell you of ti country where you are sure of success, will you
believe us? It is only necessary for you to farm the land and the
best results will follow n State which the government reports will
show leads in the production of wheat. It abo ranks among the first
in ths raising of corn, alfalfa, timothy and other products, together
with stock raising. We speak of
The great State of the West, where lands can be purchased from $5
to $30 per acre which equals the returns of the $50 to $150 per acre
lands of other States. EASTERN COLORADO is identical in most
respects and the same opportunities are offered there. Buy quick
while the lands are cheap and secure the benefit of an excellent invent
ment. THE MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY touch es the
heart of this rich agricultural region and extremely low rates are
offered, allowing stop-over at pleasure in certain territory for inspec
tion of lands, etc. Write us and we will send you free descriptive
