RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 20, I90tf. NUMBER 4 Yes, Indeed, Seighbor Wo can soil you land in tbo Wostorn part of Nebrasko or Kansas that is lino for grazing purposes, and can soil it cheap, too. But for general farming wo would recommend buying either hern or somo locality whoro one would bo equally as stiro, at least, of raising a good crop each yoar. If ono has tho necessary capital to buy a farm hero wo would be glad to sell him ono, and have a number listed that are cheap. But if not, wo have a choice proposition in tho way of irri gated lauds iu tho famoue Arkansas Valloy in Southeastern Colorado, in tho neighborhood of tho woll known Rocky ford country, that can bo sold on easy terms of 10 por cent cash at time of purchase and the balance divided into sovon annual payments at 6 por cent interest. The land and wator are sold together, tho water being sold as a perpetual water right. The soil is rich and deep, climato mild, drinking wator soft and pure, market for ovorythinggood,oxcollent schools and churches, and a fine now beet sugar factory already erected, besides another now railroad and sugar faotory will be erected this year. Tho one just finished cost u mil lion and a quarter dollars. The first thing to be considered in deciding on a loca tion in an irrigated country is tho wator supply. Tbo Amity and Buffalo canals are among tho earliest priorities on the Arkansas river. The Amity Land Co. has spent millions of dollars.in rebuilding and strengthening these canals and placing at all points of dungor indestructible concrete structures, and also in construoting'rosorvoirs of enormous size to supplement iheir flow of water. This has been done, not'only as an insurance that tho wator supply cannot fail, but in order to make absolutely certain a supply of water at such times as tho crops may demand. These reservoirs contain enough water to irrigate all of tho lands under tho Amity canal with no rainfall and supposing that the water supply from tho river failed entirely. The priority of a canal gives it its wator without rospoct to its location on the river, and there aro proper state ollicials who divide the wator iu the river according to tho priority rights which each caual has. Every man wo havo taken out to view this proposition thinks it is a good one: talk to them. Remember, wo havo viewed the reservoirs ourselves and find there is absolutely no question but that the water system is tho best in the United States and that if you buy any of this land under tho ditch you will got all the water needed to mature the crops. Come in and wo will exglain further. Our special car from Suporior out and return on thoGth and 20th of February, leaves there at 8 o'clock promptly. The reduced faro will bo 810 for tho round trip for these two trips, but after that dato will moro than likely be higher. Remembor, if you mako tho trip with us and feel we havo misrepresented tho conditions and you aro not satisfied it is as advertised, wo will refund your fare.

School Notes $ 8 Tho following books havo recently been added to tho library: "Hart's Amorican History, Told by Contem poraries," and "Epochs of Amorican History," also edltod by Hart. Theso two works aro in four and threo vol ume sets. The former cost $1.75 per volume, tho latter $1 por volume.

Tho trouble arises from tho fact that there are several irregular students in tho high school. In order to more nearly equalize tho length of the forenoon and afternoon sessions tho nopnjbglj. now riugs flvo minutes earli6Tu0, and tho boll for clismls. sal riugs flvo minutes later, ut 3:45. This change iu time affoots only the North ward. of tho supremo court. Wo teachers earnostly request parents aud patrons to refrain from ''calling up" tho schools botweou 0 and 11:40 a. m. and 1:10 and 8:45 p. m. If a teacher re sponds at all during the forbidden hours ho must do so at tho expense of neglecting a class. There is also the additional difficulty of tho school phonos being necessarily placed in tho rooms where classes aro held. Of course hulf a conversation would highly amuso a class, but tbo effect upon u teacher might bo different. So wo earnestly bog you, dear friends, 10 plod up tho stops in the same old fashioned way if you want to see Mary or John. The board has fitted up tho south room of the high school with two 12 foot laboratory tables. This greatly facilitates tiio work. Unless restrictions woro placed upon tho uso of tho school telephones they would bo a curse instead of a benefit. Tho other day a man in an eastorn city entered suit in court prayiug for damage from a man who persisted iu "calling him up" over tho phono. Tho caso is still in court. A promi nent jurist, however, consoled the author of tho suit by stating that tho caso is one worthy of tho deliberations Card of Thanks. Wo aro oxcoodingly grateful f or tho kindness which our neighbors and the citizons of Red Cloud buvo shown us, in douating a sum of money to bo used for tho erecting of a new house. Also for the kindness shown by tho ladies of tho surrounding community in tho presentation of thoir com forters, sheets oto.

CosirioN, Cal., Jan. 10, 1900. Editor Chief I have finally found a place that suits mo very well and havo bought a homo. It is a now town on tho oloctrio car lino is not far from Los Angeles. It is building up very fast aud as tho lots each contain a half acre we will never bo crowded. It is a very pleasant place and sooms to be quite healthful. Aftor tho cold of last winter in Nebraska wo enjoy the 'climate horo very much, although the "oldest inhabitants" say that it is tho coldest winter thoy havo had in many years. There has boon frost a good many nights, und ono or two quite hard freezes, sd that it has hurt tho young orange trees. Tho birds aro here; thoy camo horo from tho north and thoro aro moro horo now thun in the summer. Oranges com menced to get ripe a month ago. They are brought right to our door, and wo got them for 8 cents a dozen, large, fine navel oranges. Thoy will bo cheaper later on. Tho Chinese gardonor brings us young onions, cauliflower, spinach, pie plant and several othor vegetables, fresh from his garden, but no greon peas this winter tho frost was too much for them. Wo have nice, sunny weathor all tho timo, and occasionally a cloudy day. There has been very little rain, but wo hopo thoro will bo more, or wo'H havo to depend upon irrigation. Thoro is plenty of wator for this place, threo flouring mills, aud tho water is piped to tho houso, all wo want for houso uso and irrigation pur poses for each lot. We buy tho water largo audience at tho opera house Wednesday night. Thoro was hardly a redeeming feature about tho entire purformanco, though tho audience was at times compelled to laugh at the grotesque attempts of the alleged actors to carry tho parts thoy woro representing. Tho heavy villain, "Hank Jarvis." reminded ono of a hollowing bull turned loose on tho strot'ts. It seemed impossible for him to lower his volco oven in tho most aireoting scenes. "Frank Hartwoll," tho rovonuo otllcor-horo, talked ond moved like an automaton, having tho appearance of being wound up and moved by clock-work. Tho loss said about tho heroine, tho bettor. Tho specialties by tho negro "Kph" woro absolutely rotten. It is but just to tho managomont of tho opera houso to say that thoy wero takou in along with tho rest of us, and refused tho com- puny tho uso of tho houso for a second entertainment.
