MASON WINS.
Nominated for Senator in lllinol* Atli r»
lilt ter SI niggle.
Spin.Vorii.1.11, ill., Jan. '.’I. K.x-Con
gressmun William B. Mti> in was mini*
inn toil for l.'nited States Senator at
the Republican joint caucus lust night,
after one of t in- most bitterly fought
battles in the history of the Republic
an parly in Illinois. Although In- bail
been canvassing the state as a sena
torial candidate for two years,
Mr. Mason’s selection was regard
ed by "machine’’ politicians as an
impossibility i.p to within two
hours of the time of his triumphant
and unanimous nomination, tlie choice
licing the result of the sudden with
drawal from the race of Congressman
Wiliam Rorlmer, who had held the
almost solid vote of Chicago and Cook
county. The contest has been so long
drawn out and the battle so fierce that
the legislators were in a rnood to be
stampeded at any moment as the hour
for the caucus drew near and the sud
den shifting of the Cook county forces
to Mason carried the delegates off their
feet. Mr. Mason’s selection was a dis
tinct defeat for the combination of pol
iticians known as the "machine,” and
a clear victory for the McKinley forces
of the state.

In our ‘‘Nkhuamka Hook" to pages
witli maps and illustrations), are doz
ens of statements like that of Mr. Thor
rell. They arc made by farmers who
have made a success of farming. They
show that Nebraska is as good a state
as any in the Union.
The hook in w iiicli they appear is as
different from the ordinary agricul
tural pamphlet as day in from night.
It is interesting, practical and truthful.
In a straightforward, simple fashion
it tells you everything you need to
know about Nebraska—its climate
people, schools, churches, railroads,
markets, soil and crops. It explains
why the Nebraska farmer -makes mon
ey in spite of low prices and hard
times. Why land is cheap And how
it is as easy for an intelligent and in
dustrious man to HEY a Nebraska
farm as it is to rent one in any state
east of the Missouri river.
Every farm renter who wnnts to be -,
come a farm owner; every farm owner
who is tired ot trying to make money
off high-priced land; every father who
wuuts to give his sons a start on the
high road to independence, should write
for a copy. Free.

PATENT LAW PRACTICE.
Dr:s Moines, dan. 1-’.-A corres
pondent at Laurens, Iowa, asks, ‘ What
liability attaches to an applicant for
a patent who proceeds to manufacture
the article for which the patent is ap
plied before the patent is granted in
case the application should be re
fused?” Answiir:—As :i rule when nn
inventor applies for a patent in good
faith' and finds lie lias been an
ticipated and that his invention is sub
ordinate to a prior patent and then •
<piils. that is the end of the matter.
Hut at tiie same time he would be
liable if prosecuted for infringement
anil the general rules concerning
damages will apply. Hut the fact that
the infringer supposed himself to be
the tlrst original inventor of the sub
ject matter covered by a prior patent
can be plead as a mitigating fact that
the courts will recognize and be len
ient as possible to the infringer
