Editor Alliance-Independent:
As I have not seen any news from
this part of the country, I will drop a
few words.
Good Hope Alliance has revived and
elected officers, Wm. Stewart, presi
dent and James Ho comb, secretary.
We are going; to try hard to keep it up
from this on. Ours is the first Alli
ance that was organized in Custer
county. We have got to dig along
another four years, then the independ
ents will try their hands at running
the government awhile. If every
farmer would take' your paper we
would be sure of their votes.

Freedom's Call.
Swing inward, O gates of the future!
Swing ontward, ye gates of the past,
For the soul of the people is moving,
And rising from slumber at last;
The black forms of night are retreating,
The white peaks have signaled the day,
And freedom her long roll is beating
And calling her sons to the fray.
Swing Inward, O gates! till the morning
Shall pal at the brown mountains in gold,
Till thp life and the lore In the new time
Shall conquer the hate of the Old ;
Let the face and that hand of the Master
No onger be hidden from view,
or the land he prepared for the many,
Be trampled and robbed by the few.
The oil tells the same fruitful story,
The seasons their bounties display,
And the flowers lift their faces in glory
To catch the warm kisses of day;
While our fellows are treated ilke cattle
That are muzzled when treading the corn,
And millions sink down in life's battle,
With a sigh for the day they were born,
Swing inward, O gates of the future!
Swing outward, ye doors of the past, :
A giant is waking from slumber ;
And rending his fetters at last;
From the dust where tyrants found him,
TJnhonored and scorned and betrayed,
He shall rise in the sunlight around him,
And rule in the realm he has made. Ex.
Tn another column will be found Mr.
Geo. Steketee's advertisement of his
cure for hog cholera. This remedy has
acquired a great reputation wherever
introduced, and as the disease prevails
to a considerable extent throughout
the western states, Mr. Steketee has
probably "struck it rich" for himself,
besides offering the means of curing all
such hogs as may need his remedy.
I wish to express my thanks to the
Farmers' Mutual Insurance company of
Nebraska for their very prompt and
fair settlement of my loss Tjhich oc
curred on my house January 7th. I
also wish to express my confidence to
my neighbors in the abore company.
Yours truly,
Luke Lannino.

In Important Primary Election
BUI
Favorably Reported.
Jefferson Cur, Mo., Feb. 15. The
louse committee on elections made a
'.avorable report yesterday on Repre
lentative Smith's primary election bilL
This measure does away with all nom
inating conventions and provides that
ivery official from governor down to
sonstable shall be nominated at
primary elections to be held on Sep
tember 15 of each year. All political
parties are to hold their primary elec
tions on the same day.
The billy goat bill which was de
feated Saturday was reconsidered and
passed. If similar action is taken by
the senate the free roaming and brows
ing privileges enjoyed by goats from
time immemorial will be abridged.
In the senate yesterday Senator
Lyman offered a joint and concurrent
resolution, providing for an amend
ment to the constitution so that Kan
sas City may perfect a scheme and
sharter empowering it to establish a
municipality entirely independent of
Jackson county.
The promised public investigation
by the special house committee of the
charges' brought against Adjutant
General J. A. Wickham by James C.
Snell attracted a good sized audience
but proved to be a complete fizzle.
Representative Trigg gave it as his
Dpinion that as the committee had
been appointed only to ascertain the
number of cle As and their salaries in
the various state departments it
had no power to investigate the
charges. A motion to dismiss the case
was unanimously carried and the
whole burden of the investigation now
rests on Governor Stone. The general
opinion is that Snell has been too hasty
and will be unable to prove anything
incriminating against Wickham. The
investigation of the' office of the state
superintendent of schools by the spe
cial committee appointed for that pur
pose was postponed on account of the
absence from the city of Superintend
ent L. E. Wolfe.
Notice of Amended Articles of Incorpora
tion. Notice is hereby given that at an adjourned
session of the first annual stock-holder 's meet
ing of the Alliance Publishing Company of
Lincoln, Nebraska, held February 2, J893, at
the Company's office In Lincoln, Nebraska,
Section 'i of Article four, and Article six of
the original articles of incorporation were
amended so as to read as below :

shall be made without thirty (JO) day notice
nor for m re than ten per cent f the face val
ue of the stock at any one time on each share
of stock, and at least sixty i60 days shall Inter
vene between any two assessments." The
above section two of urticle four an amended
Is to be so taken for use after the date of said
amendment.
Article six was amended by striking out the
words "one-fourth" and inserting in their
place the words "two-thirds." Article six now
reads:
"This corporation shall not Incur liabilities
for more tlian two tl.lrds of its capital stock
actually subscribed." The above article six as
amended Is to be taken for use after the date
of said amendment. i

For the Interest of Investors,
The great Corn Belt of Nebraska
and Kansas with the rapidly growing
cities Omaba and Liccoln is now the
chief center for investments. An ex
ceptionally advantageous opportunity
for investment has b en recently open
ed up by the Stapleton Land Co., of
Omaha, Nebraska. This company has
a subscribed capital of $100,000.00, of
which $100,000.00 is fully paid in.
This capital is invested in choice small
farms ih Nebraska and Kansas which
were bought at exceptionally low
figures during the depression of 1890.
They are now offering these properties
for sale at a slight advance in price and
we may safely say that the opportunity
for investment thus thrown open is
well worthy of being carefully con
sidered. The management of the
affairs of the company is in the hands
of experienced men. The officers are
V. U. btaplewn, president: Hon. Jas.
G. Berryhlll, vice-president and C. W.
Anderson, secretary-treasurer. This
Land Co. is one o' the strongest and
best managed companies in its special
line of work anywhere in tho west.
Any of our readers contemplating the
purchase of land would find it to their
interest to call upon the above firm.
