of
Experience of County Officers With th
Free Pan,
RushVille, March 13, 03.
Editor Farmers' Allianci: Some
time ago ( noticed several article in
your paper on the tree pats business. I
will here give you a brief description of
any experience of the free pass, and why
4t Is giyen to coujty officers.
And I will say right here that I have
food reisons to believe that there are a
great many more used by county offi
cer and Judges of courts than the peo
ple are aware of and willing to admit,
and that they are given as a 'bribe of
alienee it for no other reason. That
there can be no doubt as to the case in
point I will show.
The writer held the office of county
commissioner of Sheridan county. Neb.,
the last year as chairman of said board.
By glancing at the state map you will
aee that this county is traversed by the
F. E.& M. V. R. B. in tho northern part
of the county, and on which are located
three thriving towns, at all of which
towns The Pioneer Town Site Co..
have large interests, and In fact owned
the original site, and still own a large
hare of the best lots. Rushville the
county seat, where said town site com:
Eany own over 200 acres right in tne
eartof the town.
Their assessment (the railroad lots)
was extremely low last year. In fact
so much lower than ether property sit
uated farther from the malu business
portion that one of our county officer
made a complaint, and the agent of the
Town Site Co. was notified that the tax
would have to be raised.
How mark results. Thatoountv officer
tad ted a fret mis for four years. Bar
within 48 hours alter, their agent was
aotided that this county officer had hit
mu recalled, with the reprlmaivl. that
kMld hart left their tax alone.

The inquiry of the census bureau In
to the ownership of American farms
and homes has developed faots that
must startle even those who have
feeen disposed to take a gloomy view
of industrial conditions, says the Chl--oago
News.
Complete returns have not yet been
received by Mr. Porter's bureau, but
those already in Indicate pretty clear
ty what the whole will showthat
America is rapidly becoming a nation
ot landlords and tenants.
The figures of two respective dis
tricts have been officially given out
One consists of a group of ton neigh
boring counties in Kansas, a little west
of Topeka. The other embraces ten
counties in the southwestern part ot
cOhlo and Includes Cincinnati and the
, manufacturing centers of the Miami
(alley. The two districts are believed
( fairly representative ot their respec
tive states.
In the ten Kansas counties there
.were found to be 18. 879 farms. Re
ports were returned from all but
about 7 per cent ot these and results
.are thus summarized by Mr. G. K.
.Holmes of the census bureau:
Kanaat Paroentaga of hind farm, 1890. 81

Extending the percentage obtained
in the ten counties over the whole
. state of Kansas, it appears that ot ev
ery nine farms two are free of debt
three are worked by tenants and four
are occupied by owners and are sub
ject to an incumbrance of 38. percent
of their value.
In Ohio, on the basis of these re
turns, out of every eight farms four
are held free ot debt, three are worked
by tenants and one Is occupied by the
owner and is subject to ah incum
brance of 37 per oent of its value.
The returns regarding homes are
equally interesting. No less than 48
per cent ot the homes ot the Kansas
district are hired, while in the Ohio
district (Including Cincinnati) 70 per
cent ot tne bomes are hired. Kxclud
ing uincmnair, ou per cent are so
held. In Kansas 41 per cent ot the
owned homes are subject to incunv
brance and in Ohio 22 per cent ot the
bomes are mortgaged.
These remarkable figures seem to
offer a degree of justification for the
' calamity howlers," who forced the
government into making this inquiry
oyer the protests of the optimists, who
ineitd that everything was all right
and everybody prosperous.
No one can look upon the facts and
till say all is right Something is
wrong when in ten years tenant farms
Increase from thirteen to thirty-three
la each hundred farms in a new state
like Kansas; and things cannot be just
as tney sruia be when In prosperous
Ohio onl t 20 per cent of the people
own tne t mes tney live in.

Tilden citizens have brought suit
against the Norfolk Beet Sugar company
for 11,530, The product of thirty-eight
acres of beets was shipped to the factory
from Tilden last fall and the company
has refused to pay for them. Last year
the company not committees in towns
around Norfolk to urge farmers to plant
beets, promising them $40 per ton profit
In case the bounty should be paid the
oompany agreed to divide up with the
committee, but in ease of its repeal then
the same amount would be deducted from
the price of beets.
William Winegar, a young man with

He also stole a neighbor's horse, bought a

enjoying his new position as the head of a

When brought bock the Lobough girls'

On our last trip to Omaha by request
of an old friend we paid a visit to
the store cf Hayden Bros. We had been
there before on different occasions, but
never had been so impressed wilh the
magnitude of this increasing business as
at this present time. It is truly a regu

ayden Bros, believe in patronizing
home industry, signs of which you can
see all over their store.

Harden Bros, have just added another
branch to their large business. They have
the largest lino of stoves and ranges in

Dry Goods of any house in the west.
Their building which is 182 foet square
and five floors, is chock-full; they car

paper and furniture; a whole floor is de
voted to clothing, bats and caps. They
do the leading boot and shoe business in

The Alliance Tribune wishes that
all the gold in the world was at the
bottom of the sea. A very foolish
wish. The world's money supply is
none too large as it is. and the with
drawal of the gold would largely re

more money, not less. Emporia Re
public. Our friend, the ex-governor, is try
ing to pick a fuss with us. But say
now. honor bright do Kansas people
want more money? Isn't the money
supply too bigP What becomes then
of your Inpessant ranting about the
great amount of money in circulation
more than ever before, and the
magnlfloont prosperity of our people?
How can we reconcile your state
ments in such a way as to preserve
respect for your integrity P We didn't
wish the money supply in tho bottom
of the sea, did wo1 Didn't we simply,
with a little pettishness perhaps
wish the gold in the bottom of ihe
sea so that the hallucination that the
metal was a necessary base for money
might be obliterated from the public
mind? Give us a sufficient quantity
ot good, square, honest legal tender
money, independent of banking thlevs,
made out of silver, copper, tin, allum
inum or paper, which ever is cheap
est and most convenient and the dis
appearance of gold to the bottom of
the sea or elsewhere, will not disturb
our slumbers. Alliance Tribune.
The Bye and Ear
Are two most delicate and complicat
ed organs t without the eye we could
not guide onr footsteps nor observe
the beauties of nature; without the ear
we could not hear the voices of our
friends nor enjoy the sweet sounds of
music, sno one is so neipiess as tne
blind and more deserving of pity than
the deaf. Many persons lose sight or
hearing by neglect, which timely aid
mtffht prevent. Anions tne specialists
who treat those organs none have been
more successful than Dr. Dennis whose
officeis is over the First National Bank
Lincoln. Mr. C. M. Marshall who has
been in the employ ot the bis furniture
dealers, Gruetter & Co. was deaf in one

discharge for twenty-five years. The
