tle stir was made wha Van Buren was
elected. They called him the Dutch

that is about the only thing we remem

bir stir over the election of Harrison.
He was accused by the Van Buren
party of living in a log house and
drinking nothing better than hard
cider. Ths whigs took it up and made
log cabins and hard cider the chief
battle cry. Log cabins were built,
barrels of cider placed on each side of
the dcor and three or four coon skins
nailed onto the logs completed the
show.

Fuse or Not to Fust
The Douglas county democracy, one
of the strongest political clubs of the
state, has adopted a resolution pledg
ing the organization to hereafter op
pose any and all efforts to bring about
fusion between democrats, populists
and silver republicans. Their declara
tion is, in effect, that in the future the
democratic party should go it alone. ;
The Democrat believes that two or
three forces aiming at the same result
can best achieve the end sought by
union of strength. There is no decided
difference in essential principle be
tween democracy and populism, and a
party name should not be allowed to
become a stumbling-block in' the path

OMAHA. NEB.
HOMES
The Independent Home Makers Company, as
has been said before, is not organized for the pur
pose of exploiting some new theory or ism, but
will be conducted on purely business principles
an J common sense.. No common , ownership of
property will prevail or enter into the plans or
conduct of the affairs of the home-making settle
ment, x : - " .
Every member will receive title to his allott
ment arid will be its sole owner, free from indebt
edness when the title passes from the Home Mak
ers Company to him or.her. Neither is it the pur
pose of opening an avenue for speculators, but' for
the purpose of securing for its members good, com
fortable homes. We desire only, those as members
who want homes for themselves or for their chil
dren to, subscribe for location stock. The mem
bership of speculators is not solicited and not de-
- sired. . ' X: - '.
. The - actual settlement of the members on the
lands selected, which he then improves, is one of
the main essentials towards the success of the en
terprise. ' While members will not be compelled
to move on thev lands immediately upon the loca
tion of the settlement and allottment of the lands,
it is desirable that they do so as soon as they can
arrange their affairs and can conveniently move
their effects. Tnis is a grand opportunity one
which may never be offered again.
X Necessarily the number that can be taken in
an enterprise of . this kind must be limited; too-
"many makes it cumbersome" and unwieldy; conse
quently, when the desired number is secured no
ruori will be taken. Those who avail themselves
of this opportunity will secure good homes at mod
erate outlay, much less than the actual cost of the
land to the Home Makers Company. This whole
enterprise will be managed for the best interests
of the members, as on their success, depends ours.
" In order that'no one person may become pos
sessed of large tracts of our home settlement lands
" and thereby crowd out many who wish to, avail
themselves of this splendid opportunity to secure
and build for themselves comfortable homes, we
have limited the number of shares any one person
can hold at TWENTY. This method gives all a
.fair chance. s
Members are restricted to holding not to ex
ceed twenty shares each. They may, .however,
make such selection or combination of selections
of allottments as they may desire. They may apply
. their shares on city lots, suburban tracts, or farm
tracts or any combination of all, just so they re
main within the limit of twenty shares.
THE PLAN.
About 50,000 acres of land will be needed for
our undertaking. This will be In as compact a
body as possible. Near the centner, or at some
point where natural advantages render it advis
able, a section, or so much as may be necessary,
will be surveyed and platted as the site for our
city into business lots, residence lots, and sur
rounding them, five-acre and ten-acre tracts. Fur
ther out, twenty and forty-acre tracts will be laid
out; and still further, the 80 and 160-acre tracts.
The Home Makers Company will retain the alter
nate land tracts, allotting the others to members
according to their desires and the number of
, shares taken. But no allottment of a tract of land,
manifestly inferior to that surrounding it, will be
' made to any member, as we desire to please and
satisfy all our members if possible.
Membership irjr the Home Makers Company is
secured by purchasing location stock at $25 per
share. v No member may purchase more than ' 20
shares. Members are not required to make com
plete payment down, but application for location
stock should be accompanied by an advance pay
ment as follows:
X For twenty shares . . .$100 00
For twelve shares......... .75 00 ,X- x
i For eight shares. ......... '., 50 00
. For five shares. ..... . . . 50 00 .
- For three shares or less...:. 25 00
This is a guarantee that you mean business,
because we cannot hold our books open indefinite
ly, or waste time with those who might otherwise
join out of pure curiosity and later withdraw at the
last moment. On our part we agree, in the event
that we cannot secure a sufficient number of mem
bers to put the plan into practical operation, to re
turn to you your advance payment, less a small
amount to cover postage, advertising and little in
cidental expenses. None of the company's officers ,
receive any salary out of this their reward de
pending wholly upon the success of the under
taking. ... , -
Final payment on location stock must be made
within thirty days after notice is given that a suf
ficient number of members has been secured and
'the location selected. There Will, however, be no
forfeitures should any member be unable to pay for
the whole number of shares he subscribed for. For
example, you have subscribed for twenty shares,
and have paid down $100; should you be unable to
raise the remaining $400 when call is made, pay
ment of $200 -would entitle you to twelve shares
(80 acres); $100 would give you eight shares (40
acres); $25 would give you five shares (20 acres);
or .you could ask for four paid up shares, without
additional payment, and be entitled to a ten-acre
tract and residence lot; or such "other, combination
as the four shares would cover. However, we ear
nestly request members not to ask for more shares ,
than they can pay for conveniently, as our pur
chase of lands will be based on the number of
shares upon which first payment has been made.
RULES OF MEMBERSHIP.
Shares of membership are placed at $25 each,
and will entitle members to allottments, as fol
lows I
ONE SHARE gives you a city residence lot.
TWO SHARES gives you a city business lot

x APPLICATIONS. x
Each member should designate In his applica
tion the kind, of lots or the size of the land tract
he wishes to take. A great many , people desire
business and residence lots, while others will wand
city lots and small tracts adjoining the city wh$eta.
as the city grows (and this one will) can be"la7tl
out into additions to the city and be made to yield
the owner handsome returns. Others will want tha
smaller tracts for fruit , raising and truck farm
ing. Others will take the 40, 80, and 160-acre tracts
and later add more, which they will.be able to do,
from the company lands on long time and easy
terms.
All members cannot receive 160 acres, neither
will all want tracts of that size. Not nil people
who will join the home makers will be. farmers.
It wili require a . great many business men, me
chanics, professional men and laboring men who
will find employment in factories we propose to
locate and in the other ordinary avenuen.. i
' The Home Makers Company itself will for JL
long time require the services of a number of peoL
pie, and will of course employ only "shareholders
where it is possible. All this will bring many to
the city and will take up the city lots. The build
ing of a large city requires time and a vasit amount
of labor.
Every member will be givenwhat he asks for
and hisv shares of locating stock entitlo him to.
Each will receive a clear title from the Home Mak
ers Company for. his allottment and will not bo
liable for or required to pay any-more money. All
indebtedness and responsibility "that may' be in
curred will be assumed and borne by the Home
Makers 'Company. By this method any possible
assessment for various purposes is eliminated and
the settlers are free and secure in their holdings.
The sale of location stock to memoers will of
course not bring sufficient money to pay for the
needed land, as we expect to pay in the neighbor
hood of five dollars and upwards per acre for the
land. The Home Makers Company retains each
alternate tract of land and makes up the extra
amount necessary to pay for the entire tract thu3 f
giving the settlers their allottments clear oi Vr.
cr-ubrance. As soon as the settlement Is locafcti
prices will immediately advance and it Is by the
sale of the alternate tracts at advanced prices,
that the Home Makers Company expects to reim
burse Itself for the labor and expenses of conduct?
ing this large undertaking.
