GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years. THE CENTAUR COMPANY, TT MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CITY. HOLT ALL RIGHT (Omaha, Bee.) O’Neill, Neb., May 20.—(Special.) According to conservative estimates there are in Holt county 75,000 head of cattle and 15,000 head of sheep, representing an actual value of §2,300,000. The number is increas ing rapidly all the time and the people here are certain that they have the best stock county in the state on account of the immense amount of hay that is put up hear and which is necessary for wiuter feed for stock. There is no disputing the fact that Holt is the best hay county in the state. No man in Holt county is preach- ; ing prosperity any stronger than the : county treasurer, who was elected two years ago as a populist. This official said to the writer today: ' “Land in this county is selling 40 per cent higher than it did three years ago and more farms are chang ing hands than for many years past. The best of it is that most of those who are buying land are the men who have lived here the longest, j They are increasing their holdings] and the money they are using to ! make the purchases has been accu- ] mulated right hear in Holt county, j In the meantime taxes are being paid up faster than ever before. This spring the payments are com ing in so fast that we don’t have time to balance our books.” Auother man who was enthusiastic over the prosperity of Holt county was the banker from Stewart, a little town in the west part of the county. Ho said that money was geting to bo a drug on the market in his lo cality. Ho said: Wo used to run through our notes quite often and notify people to come in and settle but we don’t have to do that any more. They come with out notices. It has been two months since we looked over the list for the purpose of making notices. Our bank with a capital stock of #5,000,has ■ union MEAT MARKET - CHOICE LINE OF I FRESH AND SALT | MEATS. GAME IN * SEASON. FRED C. GATZ, Prop. swi'rtwiMMMtistaeiMimwMter.i;:::! I $80,000 iii deposits, where two years ago it only had $30,000 and the money all belongs to the farmers.” The figures from other banks in Holt show equally good. Th e combineddepositis at present amount to $330,000. One institution had $88,000 in 1890, $101,000 in 1897, $122,000 in 1898 and has $199,890 at the present time. The cashier i complained that there was about $60,000 on hand without a borrower. I The mortgage record of the county also shows general prosperity. Dur ing the last half of 1898 the cancellations of farm mortgages | exceeded the filings by $80,000 while during the first four months of 1 the present year the indebtedness on farms has been reduced $31,000. The new mortgages filed are almost all because of the purchase of lands in the county. An O’Neill banker told to day of a German farmer who came in a few days ago to pay for a piece of land that he had just bought. The old man produced $800, the price agreed upon , the monoy being in bank bills in a roll, tied up with a piece of thread. When he paid it over he said: “You seo what a fool I am. I could have bought that land for $200 three years ago.” “Yes, but you didn’t have the $2oo,” said the banker. “That’b so,” said the farmer. “The $2oo was harder to get then than the $800 is now. The people down in my precinct all went off on the free silver idea and wo didn’t have a dozen silver dollars in the neighborhood. Now we all have money.” Thero is much good farm ing land in Holt county and small grain f.oos especially well. The crops are in tine condition and there is a prospect of an abundant yield. In this locality there is a better prolit in small grain than in the eastern counties, for the roason that the investment in land is so much small er. As much wheat can be raised on $lo an acre land in Holt county as on $00 land in some of the old coun ties of this state and Iowa. Some stir is causod in this county by the building of the new railroad north from Atkinson. When the new line was first projected there was much doubt expressed as to the j scheme. Local men seemed to be behind it and prominent among them ! were some whoso combind credit ' at a bank three years ago would not have been good for §25. Yet they : have actually made a good start on : the grading of twenty miles of the : road in the last month and yesterday j was tho first pay day of the labors, when §2,0oo or §3,000 in cash was distributed. Politically, there is no question about tho improvement in Holt coun ty. In 1S90 there was a combined mnjority of 857votes over the repub licans. This was in 1S93 reduced to 725, in 1890 to 551, 1897 to 409 and in 189S to 340, while in the last election the fusion members of the legislature had less than 2oo major ity. There is this year a strong inclination on the part of the “reform forces” to break away from fusion, and no one need bo surpris ed if there are three tickets in the field this fall. The free silver theory is no longer a “tie that binds” the fusionists together and the prevail ing prosperity has induced many to como back to the republican party, where they belong. F. A. H.
