Op portunities are presenting themselves more at present than they have in tle past at least more people are seeing thorn. The demand for $150.00 an acre land Is diminishing and the de mand for cheaper land is Increasing. Homesteads are getting more scarce. The U. S. Land office open ed practically their last desirable land for homestead entry when they threw open last October, tftH Chey enne and Standing Rock Tran re servation in South Dakota. What is the younger generation of our coun try to do wait for what their fath er's own, when there are probably several to be reckoned in the divis ion? Cheaper land will pay bigger profit and more interest on the investment and raise in comparison more than, the $150.00 land. Do not drag your life out on 40 acres of land worth $150.00 to $200.00 per acre when it will not produce enough to pay in terest on the Investment and hardly a living. Foneral Tomorrow.

I have the reputation of being a good man to sharpen your horse shoes for icy roads; but the modern ROWE CALKS are better they wear longer and are always sharp; so I must recom mend them even though I don't make much out of it.

Home From I'vtoiiili-d Visit. Mrs. E. E. Go dwin and son Robt. Propst returned home this morning fiom a four weeks visit with relatives and friends In various towns in Iowa and Illinois. While the trip had many pleasures connected with it, there was one that was filled to the j brim with sorrow, that being the j death of Mrs. Goodwin's sister, Mrs. Amelia Orndorf of Long Grove, la., who died about the first of the pres ent month, at whoso home the two old ladles had laid plans for such a pleasant visit, and they had planned to return to Cass county for the sum mer at the home of Mrs. Goodwin. High Hogs. E. J. Mougey one of the Journal's staunch friends from near Union, was in the city a few hours last evening en route home from Omaha, where he had been with a car load of hogs.

D. S, Druggist Team Han Away. The fine large team of McMaken & Son yesterday afternoon indulged, in a runaway which might have had disastrous results to the animals but for the rarest good fortune. They broke from the hitching rack in front of the office of McMaken & Sons on south Sixth street and made a lively run up Chicago avenuo until they came to the homo of Mrs. Agnes Chapman where one of the animals then the other fell. The one falling first was dragged quite a ways. A. II. Koubek and a number of other citi zens in the neighborhood at the time saw the team fall and hurried to them. Mr. Joe McMaken came up a little later and had quite a Btruggle with one of the animals berore it was gotten on Its feet uninjured. By the greatest good fortune there were no serious damage done either of the animals, although for a few moments ft looked as if at least one would be bndly crippled. A few minutes delay in treating some cases of croup, even the length of time it takes to go for a doctor aften proves dangerous. The safest way is to keep Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house, and at the first indication of croup give the child a dose. Pleasant to take and always cures. Sold by all dealers. Delightful Visit. Robt. Propst and mother who have been spending several weeks at their old home near Dubuque, la., return ed to their homo at Mynard this morning, coming via Omaha. They had a delightful visit, especially the aged lady, who found quite a num ber of good friends and relatives still living near the old home. Al though they had some severe weather during the time they were away, they did not let that interfere with them and their friends made them forget all about It. Both are looking fine after their trip and seem to have im proved wonderfully during their vaca tion. Despite all this they were glad to once more get back to Nebraska soil and meet their good friends in this neighborhood. Soothes itching skin. Heals cuts or burns without a scar.

"Honest work at an honest price" is our motto S Hardware Heating Plumbing TO E Knights and Ladies of Security Plan Big Time Monday Arrangements are being made for a grand observance on next Monday evening, February 21, of the four teenth anniversary of the founding of the local council of the Knights and I Ladies of Security and a fine program Is being prepared for the occasion, j The program will consist of music, , oratory and all the enjoyable things whicli such an occasion calls forth. mere win he a number or prominent visitors present from abroad Includ ing Mrs. Clarke, the national con ductor of the order and Hon. John A. Dempster and wife who were so in strumental in the organization of the local council. Mr. Dempster Is now 'one of the most prominent Insurance men of the west and his views on insurance subjects are fii great de mand. He will deliver an nddrcss which will be of great Interest to all whether members of fraternal Insur ance orders or not. In addition ar rangements have been perfected for a very enjoyable time for all who attend and the program has been so nrranged that there will bp something for everyone to enjoy. The growth of the Knights and Ladles of Security since the founding of the council In this city has been little short of marvelous and all In dication point to a continuance of their wonderful prosperity. In 1896 when the local council was formed the order had a membership of 10, 000. It's reserve fund at that time was about $25,000. Today the mem bership of the order hovers around the 100,000 mark while the reserve has grown to the sum of $1,500,000. The reserve fund which is now being adopted by nearly every fraternal order in the country as the base of strength, was first called into active use by the Knight and Ladles of Security. They originated the idea that a fraternal insurance organiza tion should have a reserve financial strength sufficient to Insure Its sound ness and this Idea has spread and grown until now this Is recognized as the only Bound principal upon which such an order Bhould be founded. The growth and strength of the order Is well reflected In the local council which has steadily grown In membership In this city and which has strengthened its financial stand ing until it is one of the strongest if not the strongest fraternal order In the city. The membership Is com posed as the name would indicate, of both gentlemen and ladles and much of the success which has attended It, has been due to the work of the latter who have ever taken a deep Interest In its success. Their good work will bo in evidence Monday evening when the excellent program which has been prepared will bo rend ered.
