Nebraska Advertiser W. W. SANDERS, Prop. NEMAHA, NEBRASKA "Tell and net the trutn una fear no evil. What you dislike do not fore on another. Well, how are you setting on In your soul-kissing Instructions? Ho honest and Just to your employ er, working In the open, and ho will not fall to find your value. Tho Binall minority of brain and energy ever control tho great major ity of human beef and Ignorance. If ripened souls enjoy the llploss kiss the average person will do his best to see that his soul stays green. Probably It never occurred to Uncle Russell Sago that the designs on our American $10 and $20 gold pieces have been Inartistic.

Warning to consumers: Hoil your chickens. Ono London hotel Is said to have received $1,050,000 from American pa trons since March. Since tips arc not included, tho real expenditure of theso tourists can only be guessed. A boy with n sixth sense has been discovered In Norway. Well, wo have plenty of boys in this country who, In addition to their live senses, know enough not to rock the boat. By a recent order many llrltlsb ships will have to bo rechrlstoned to avoid duplicate names. In a pinch they might borrow a few choice ones from our own Pullman cars. Theso names are unique. If, as the university professor says, Chinamen nro likely to Inherit tho earth because they can subsist on less food than Is required by other peo ples, we all might put ourselves ou tho defensive by cutting out pie. Scientists In Austria-Hungary noted an eartbquako shock the other day about 2,500 miles nwny.

An Americnn woman on a steamer arriving In New York handed a lemon to a Britisher who bad been obnoxi ously nttentlvo to her on the way across. It is hoped the Britisher will see the point by the tlmo he goes back. Mr. John GrahaliiUrook8 declared recently that It costs $25,000 to bring up a boy in middle-class life, and now an English mother estimates that it coats $37,000 to rear an English girl from Infancy to the society ago. Dear children! A Philadelphia doctor says that candy satisfies the craving for alcohol and ho recommends highly a candy Jag to men who have been finding the other kind bo unsatisfactory. It sounds good, but wouldn't tho candy Jogger bo called a mollycoddle In some strenuous circles? Mr. Carneglo has given $500,000 nnd some ndvlco to King Edward's hos pital fund. Tho good thing about tho $500,000 is that Its ncceptanco is not dependent upon tho acceptance of tho ndvlco, but unlike a good ninny of Mr. CarnegloB bequests is optional and has no string attached. One of thoso extraordinary Chicago professors has been studying sea birds down nt tho Tortugas, and hero ho comes home and declares that gulls have a language of their 'own, think nnd reason and live In communities and family groups, indicating a capac Hy for politics and social organization. But just as likely as not he Is trying to gull his listeners. A New York manufacturing concern is building some trolloy enrs with a turn-stlle at the rear platform so ar ranged that but ono passenger can get through at a tlmo and must pay as ho goes. Tho exit Is by tho front door. This not only saves fares to the company, but leaves tho con ductor freo to pay some attention to tho comfort of the passengers. It Ib hardly necessary to say that this con trivanco will discourage the use of open cars. MAKES NEW MARK TIME RECORD BROKEN BY LUSL TANIA ACROSS ATLANTIC. A TRIFLE OVER FIVE DAYS Deutschland Still Ahead In Speed Performance Fraction of a Knot to Her Credit Over the New Ocean Greyhound. A few days ago there was a cele bration of tho hundredth anniversary of that proud occasion when Robert Fulton's KiO-foot steamer Clermont went puffing up the Hudson river at five miles an hour. Friday New Yorkers turned out to welcomo a steam craft, tho passengers of -which breakfasted In Queenstown, Ire land, Sunday, nnd lunched In Nov York on the lilth. Both cxperlmontas, equally successful, were epoch-making In the way of propulsive power, tho Clermont with her side paddles and tho new Cunarder with tho quadruplo turbines. Tho voyage of tho Lusltania, so happily completed, was most Import ant In that It was a test of tho most modern propulsive power, This Is the view tnkon by her owners, who arc satisfied that the practicability of the turbine for fast ships has been demon strated and that this new departure In English shipbuilding has been Jus tifled. The fact that, the Lusltania was able to cross tho Atlantic In live days and fifty-four minutes and was able ou her maiden trip nearly to equal the best trans-Atlantic record is held to be of secondary importance. Offi cials of the line said that the Luslta nia had done all that was expected of her without her having been pushed to make a record, and they were con fldent that she would be able when called upon to add to her, achieve ments tho fastest voyage across the Atlantic. Heretofore, It was pointed out, tur bines have been constructed for mod erate speed, but on ho Lusltania and her sister ship, Mauretanla, built with the greatest government subsidy ever paid, was staked the British hope that turbine-driven vessels would prove not only the most complete, but the swiftest liners afloat. Ernest Cunard, director of the line who was a passenger on tho Lusltania, said: "I came over to watch the working of the ship in order to sco If we could Improve the Mauretanla, now nearlng completion. I find that I shall have no suggestions to make." From the time that tho Lusltania sailed from Queenstown at noon Sun day until she came through the now Ambrose channel and reached her new pier at tho foot of West Thirteenth street, North river, at noon Friday, lie steamer behaved excellently. TO ENUMERATE CRIPPLES. Senator Burkett Takes Up the Ques tlon With Census Director. Senator Burkett has been having some correspondence with the dlrectoi of census with reference to an enu meratlon of crippled and deformec children. As a result of tho corres pondence the director of census hai advised him thnt he will bring the sub ject to the attention of tho (ensus com mittee of congress at the next session. It Is believed by the friends of this movement that there should be an enu meration In tho various state of crip pled and deformed children so that tho various state legislatures might be reliably and fully Informed as to the Importance of the matter. Nebraska Is only ono of three states that so far have taken up the matter of establish lng an Institution where crippled chil dren may be treated scientifically. While It is not the Intention of those moving in this matter that tho federal government shall undertake to build any hospitals, nevertheless It Is thought that the federal government can well afford to make this enumera tlon to show tho importance of It to the various state legislatures. PUT DYNAMITE IN PRESSES. Successful Attempt to Wreck a News paper Office. Four unknown persons exploded dynamite in tho presses and four linotype machines of tho News-Herald, tho Joplln, Mo., afternoon republican papor, causing damage of $20,000. Six packages of dynamite of two sticks each were used. Ono package had been placed In each of tho presses nnd four linotype machines. All of tho linotype machines were wrecked and one of the presses was badly damaged The dynamite In the other prss failed to explode A SWIFT STEAMER. The Lusltania, the Qlant Turbine Cun ard Liner Made Remarkable Trip Across Atlantic. Now York. A now steamship record botween a European port and New York was made by tho Cunard lino's now giant turbine ship, tho Lusltania, which arrived hero Friday, Tho Lusl tania left Queenstown, tho nearest tranB-Atlantlc port to New York, nt J2:10 p. m. Sunday, and arrlvod at the Sandy Hook lightship at 8:05 a. m. Friday, making the time for tho trip flvo days and 54 minutes. This In six hours nnd 29 minutes better than the previous Queenstown-Now York record of flvo days, seven hours and 23 mln utes, held by the Lucnnla, of tho samo line. While the Lusltnnln has made a now record for the time a passenger Is actually on board ship, sho hoi not beaten the average speed per hour re corded, both the Kalaor Wllholm II,, which has made 23.58 knots ptr hour from New York to Plymouth, and tho Doutschinnd, with a record of 23,01 knots per hour to Plymouth, having made better time. HAVE ABUSED PRIVILEGE. Gov. Sheldon of Nebraska Favor Tnk. lng from Fedoral Courts Right - to Enjoin States. Lincoln, Neb. Because of the re straining order granted by Judge Mun got of the federal court to prevent tho allway commission from promulgate ng a new grain rato schedule, Gov, Goorge L. Sheldon Thursday declared himself In favor of n constitutional amendmont taking from federal courts tho right to enjoin state officiate from enforcing stnto laws. "I beltero the fedoral courts have abused the privi lege of tho Injunction enough to Jus tify such notion," he said. "Too many state laws have been tied up by tho nterference of tho federal courts. I do not bellovo tho makorn of tho con stitution ovor contemplated such use of tho injunction In tho hands of tho federal courts." Not Even Respectable Nonsense. Washington. "Not oven respectable nonsense" was tho way Former Am bassador Luko Wright, who has Just returned from Tokio to resume private life, characterized tho war talk be tween tho United States and Japan. '.In pan does not want war -with tho United States, nor with any nation," declared Mr. Wright. "Tho country Is burdened with -dobts and heavy tax ation. Tho rate of taxation has been Increased since the war with Russia. Further than thla she has Korea on her hands and that la no easy problem. China, too, demands her attention. Further than this Japan looks upon thB United States as her best friend. Sho always has so regarded this country.." Must Pay for Mistakes. Lincoln, Nob. Tho state railway commission Thursday raortdng ordered a compilation of all tho dllnqnenolcs of tho various railway Bjutema. Pen alties may bo exacted from all thB roads whoso officials have mndo mis takes In filing statements and reports.

WHAT FATHER AND HARRY ACCOMPLISHED AN ILLINOIS MAN WRITES RE GARDING HIS SUCCESS IN WESTERN CANADA. Change in Homestead Regulations Makes Entry Easily Accomplished. "Nothing succeeds like success" is an old nnd true saying having many applications In Western Cunada. The following letter Is an Illustration. The writer, Mr. Gerts, left Chicago n short time ago and tho success he has achieved may well bo gained by any one having pluck nnd energy by locat ing on the free homestead lands In Western Canada. A change recently made In the Canadian Land Regula tions concerning homesteads makes It possible for any member of a family to make entry for any other member of the family entitled to a homestead. For Instance, a man may now make entry before the local agent for his father or for his brother or brothers, or for his son or sons, or for a sister or daughter who may be the head of the family having minor children de pending upon her for support. A sis ter, daughter or mother nre also en titled to make entry upon a home stead. The only fee required is $10.00 for each entry. A great saving in rail way expenses is thus made. Head what Mr. Gerts has to say: Battleford, Sask., Aug. 4, 1907. Dear Sin- Thinking a letter from us Northwest settlers might interest you, and 1 write a few lines and let you know we are progressing finely and well pleased with our new home. When I think of the many hard working, industrious men east with families who are struggling for a liv ing and doing the strenuous, laying up practically nothing for old age and the thousands of acres of land here yet to bo plowed and cultivated capable of raising sixty to eighty bushels of oats, thirty to forty bushels of wheat, it cer tainly seems a pity the two cannot be brought together. But I will repeat, this country is only for tho industrious and thrifty; also I might add, It re quires some capital to start. A man should have at least a team of three good horses; better to have mares so as to have some colts com ing along each year. It is best to bring them with him as work horses are high. He should be"abie to purchase plow, disc and drag, harrow, drill, binder and hay rake. Of course sev eral taking up claims or buying land near together can divide up the pur chasing of the above machinery and exchange work. This plan will work well for a few years or until crops will warrant each individual to purchase a full outfit. We have 4 SO acres of as good farm land as lies in the famous Cut Knife district. Every foot can bo plowed. Last year our oats run t0 bushels per acre. 1 sold them for 50c per bushel on the place. The indications are for a good crop this year, though we were very lato in seeding owing to the late spring. Last winter was the coldest known In this country by the oldest settlers (some who have been here 35 years), but with a comfortable house and plenty of firewood, which we hauled four miles, we passed the winter quite pleasantly. The air is clear and dry. Some of the days I came from work I was surprised to find the thermometer registering 40 below zero. Though we never keep fire at night, we had nothing freeze in our cellar. Our stock and chickens wintered fine. 1 have a yearling heifer, who His'n. Patient If you'll allow me to speak that tooth you Insist upon pulling is not the one that aches.

She has never had a drop of milk since sho was four months old nnd hns never had a mouthful of grain. A gentleman who saw her mado tho remark, "He bet that heifer had eaten her head off with grain," but would hardly believe she had never had any grain. This is a great country for growing all kinds of vegetables and wo arc certainly enjoying our garden. Tho flavor of the green peas is especially fine. Last season Mrs. O. canned a lot of them, and wo have enjoyed them up to the fresh crop. I am sorry I did not have tlmo this past season to attend to transplanting trees, but will keep the land I had pre pared worked up for next season's planting. I received a number of small trees (ash and maple) from tho Gov ernment Experimental Farm at J.ndlnn Head. I put them around tho edge of the garden and they are doing fine. I also received quite a lot of qth'ir seeds, oats, wheat, potatoes and rhubarb roots which were acceptable. It is useless for us to bother with garden flowers as wild ones grow in profusion. Wre are located near a flno creek, the water of which Is soft and fine for bathing and washing. Wehavo a well of water near the house, 32 feet deep and 21 feet of water all tho time, though it is harder than the creek water. Land which could be bought for five dollars per acre three years ago Is now worth $14 per acre and steadily advancing each year. All kinds of improvements are going on. Steam plows and large threshing outfits are already in. Roads are be ing graded, bridges being built across rivers and creeks. Last year I took my family, also wagon, across tho Sas katchewan river in a row boat, swam my team across and now the contract has been let for $200,000 bridge at that place. The C. N. R. have run their final survey from Battleford to Calgary, running west about ono mile north of us. The C. P. R. have run a survey, which runs northwest passes about 500 feet from tho northeast corner of our farm. The country will soon be cov ered with a net work of railroads and it will keep them busy hauling the out put of grain. It Is certainly encourag ing to us settlers. Two years ago, Harry, my son, and I as you know unloaded our car at Saskatoon and drove 130 miles to our claim. Last fall wo had only 18 miles to haul our wheat to railroad and as you see, the prospects are we will have.. a railroad at our very door and a town near-by. This district can support a good town and it will be well patron ized. Harry arrived home at 12 p. m. last night after going fourteen miles to blacksmith shop to get plowshares beat out. The shop was full of work and it was eight p. m. when Harry left for home and parties still in line to have Avork done. We will need stores nearer and good mechanics. Wo are all enjoying tho best of health which is a great blessing. When wo left Chicago over a year ago my youngest son's (four years of age) health was so poor that I almost de spaired of raising him, but ho is cer tainly a hearty, healthy little fellow now. The pure fresh air has done him worlds of good. So to sum up the whole. Why should we not be glad we mado the break? A good farm, stock Increasing, health and an Independent life. What more can we expect? Did we have to make an effort? You can bet we did and hustle, too. Should you pass this way with your shotgun this fall, we should be pleased to let you shoot prairie chickens ' off our grain stocks. Respectfully yours, CI1AS. M. GERTS AND FAMILY.
