wonderful growth of funning indus

will tuae places under the auspices
of the Omaha Fair and Speed King
Association. All railroads wdl sell,
within 160 miles from Omaha, round
trip tickets to Omaha inclusive for
one fare. 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. His
neck is somewhat stiff, which is a na
tural consequence after a bullet from
a 44-calibcr gun having plowed
through it.

TIIK. (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

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.

I aiattl* I with Ih* Mini oil** of t'hl
cago. 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?

failed in life to eel up bis failure a*
