The field of horses, is an unusually large one, including many known trotters, us weil as several new ones, which gives promise of many surprises and a lively and in teresting meeting is assured. An Ord special in the State Jour nal of the 27th says that McPherson, the man who shot Oil Summers in Ord May 12, will probably be cap tured. Two men were arrested in Ord Wednesday afternoon on sus picion of knowing of McPherson's whereabouts. The suspects pre sented an order and bill of sale far McPherson's team, which he left in Ord after shooting Summers. Sum mers is still on earth and walks the streets of Ord the same as ever.

(ItHKIR OF MF.I.HK NEI.HOV A jout twenty-five years ago in one of the sleepy coast (owns of Scandinavia, you might have seen a tall, strongly built, gray-eyed, light hared, serious-faced young man standing at the door step of a little tbatched roofed cottage, bidding good by to Ins mother and sisters, for he was about to sale lor the new world, “Kemsmber” »uid the moth er, ‘ that your sssoeiations will have much to do with whatever of suc cess or happiness you attain. The new world is lull of possibilities, but there’ll he some there that, are mor bid with doubt and distrust. Keep /■ .1 l.' _.it . unit) I I i l III infill || I'Miimr III close relation with those who believe and expect. Tlteir faith and ex peclency, added to your own, will act as a magnet, drawing towards you the things which VOU desire.” It is interesting to contemplate that while man is endowed with strength, energy, and force, woman, living in the higlici and mote spirit ual realm, is able bv intuition to recognize the higher laws which affect a man's destiny, and which too often are unseen or misundcr stood by him. “Remember,” continued the mother, ns the young mini walked down the path, and, closing the lit tie gate behind him, turned for one more look at. the humble cottage where he was born, “remember to believe in yourself. You'll never be more than you think you are and never achieve more than you ex pect.” As the great ship turned slowly her mighty hull toward the west, the ponderous engines moved her forward faster and faster with every throb, and as the young man felt the influence of the accelerated mo tion arid the trembling of the mighty force that was beneath him, he looked up lovingly at the American (lag whose every sfc»r seemed a star of hope In his new sky and tie felt himself being ushered into 9 better destiny and happier life. He took from his pocket a little bible that one of his sisters had given and read, “Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.” Ho understood that these promises referred to temporal as well as spiritual blessings and he said to himself, “If I ask a share in the prosperity of the new world they’ll give me a chance. If I seek 1 will find it. If I knock at the door of opportunity it will open to rne. Then he unfolded and read over and over again an immigiation circular which had been sent by one of the railroad companies of Ne braska. There was “land for the landless, homes for the homeless” and opportunity for every man who could recogui/.o it, who was in har mony with its plat.s and who stood readV to meet it half way when it came to him with extended hand. Some of the old gloomy pessimists in the village had said to him, “Don't believe all you read in these land circulars. They are sent out only to deceive the people. There’ll be seme trick about it. These Ameri can railroads are owned by rich | men. ••They want to iuduee poor people I to uettU and develop new territory! .1 >1 _ _ >1. _.1 In 11 i uni i itii « Mini tin «• i wii Mail avatrin* ami enrich llianiadvrn lint tin* young man. following the ailiiraof III* tnollicr ami ilia own j Imiti-r matim'ia, lord turned away 1 from Hivin' doubling ami ilUtruaiful uirtiiemv* ll«' had aald to Inuinelf, j 'lf llicav iin’ii ran tunin' mouai, I van make uioiivy.

Sweeping on through Illinoii and Iowa, ho loaned out and looked i at the farm homos, at the great fields and pastures full of cattle. Roach ing (.'lay county, Nebraska, he se leeted HlO acres of wild prairie fiv< miles southwest of the town of Silt ton. Iluwas quick to comprehend all the new situations anil to avail himself of all the temporary expo diences of beginning. He dug n square hole in the side of a lull, covered it with cottonwood poles and prairie soil arid hung up a hoist blanket at the opening for a door. With the tittle money he had re maining after making a small pay rnent on the laud he procured a team of horses and some farming imple ments In this humble abode and with this crude equipment Noise Nel son commenced his career as a Ne braska farmer. You'll find him there today. You II know him by the cool, self centered expression of his countenance. The tired body of the old mother may l»o now resting under a green mound in tlio little village graveyard across the sea, but her higher intuition lives in the son, and you can feel as joii Bland in his presence that magnetic attracting force that always grows into and becomes a part of the ma turn character of every man who believes There is sometimes force in a doubting and distrustful man, but it is a destructive, not a con structive force. It is a negative force that disorganizes. It is a re pelling force that drives away and scatters. The Nelson farm is a mile square now, and contains ufO acres. There's a large, two story, white frame house, with green window shutters. There are large Imrns, an orchard, tine cat tle, and brood fields. The dream that lie had as he whirled through Illinois twenty-five years ago has all come true. There is no debt, no doubt, and no discontent on the Nelson farm. It would lie interesting to tell in de tail all that has bten achieved by ibis quiet, self-centered, level headed man, and of the 50,000 other self-centered, self-reliant, and self made men who have succeeded anil will succeed on farms of this state. If you want to study them, to know them by what they are. and what they huve accomplished, you can read their characters in their faces and their achievements in the homes they have reared. Now, I make the point that the republican party, in ita general in stinets and purposes, is the trim rep resentative and ally of Nelse Nelson, and that populism, which assumes to speak for him and his class, is a lie against what lie is and what he lias achieved. There are 50,000 Neiae Nelsons on the farms of No braska. Not all of them have gained $1,000 per autium for the last twenty-five years as he has. Some have accomplished more, but many less. Some have smaller farms and are in debt, but there are 50,000 honest, courageous, aclf-centercd, level-headed farmers, whose success ful achievements will bear compari son with the achievements of any farm community in this union, and their higher manhood ami better mental foroe ought to hare expres sion, giving to this state the reputa tion which its true character justifies. Hui there are AO,000 other farm ers, rattle-headed, discontented, in harmonious men, some of whom hare failed, smue who have had more success than they manifest, and these AO.OOo, piling up their in dividual grievances, tlieir cerk legs, their carbuncles, their scolding wives, and ttisir undiitiful sons, in out great heap before the public, insist that these manifestations of failure shall stand as a sign of the average success Now what light lias tbm aggngi ties of repudiation and bad temper to hoi«t its black flag over the home of Nelse Nelsoll?
