Hut Neliruwlii
an agricultural
I-udiu
As an agricultural state, suvs the
lilair Courier, Nebraska leads the
union. Her soil is better adapted to
farming than that of 11113- other state.
'One important item that shows thu fer
tility of our soil is the fact that there
are 1S,2 17,705 acres of laud under cul
tivation nntl during 1895 there was
spent for fertilizer f Hl.'-'tW. Mississippi
had only 0,8K',390 under the plow, yet
she spent for fertilizer S7M),'.'0S; Ala
bama had 7,U,343 acres and wient for
fertiliser 83,4'J1,G48; Georgia hail 0.58:;.
SCO acres .and spent for fertili.er S5,-7-M.187.
Thus you can readily wo that
Nebraska soil is richer and better
adapted to tho agricultural pursuits
than any other state. Iowa ranks a
loso second, ns crop statistics wL'l

Washington, Jim. 1.1. The Senate
committee on foreign relations was in
session two hours to day discussing
the Cuban, Armenian und Venezuelan
questions, with incidental reference
to tlio Monroe doctrine. There was a
full attendance of members. Tho
committee took positive notion upon
ono subject only. It decided, upon a
positive ufllrinntion of tho Monroe doc

was appointed to draft a resolution
declaring the sense of Congress on this
Question.
The discussion on this point was
conducted upon the basis of Senator

membors. Tho sub-commltteo is ex

that tho committee may bis polled
without a formal meeting. The com
mittee wus almost unanimous in ud
vocaoy of n declaration on tho Monroe
doctrine. Senator (Iray alone is un
derstood to have opposed a declaration.
Nearly nil of the opinions advanced
were that tho Venezuelan n flair had
served to emphasize the wisdom of
this doctrine, and that the time was

OKLAHOMA NEXT.
Sba Deilrra n I'lacn In tho Sisterhood or
Stnten.
Oklahoma City, Ohio., Jan. 0. The,
town is filled with delegates to tho
Statehood convention, which com
menced to-day. Nearly nil of them
are In favor of Statehood for Okla
homa, but there are almost as many
schemes tor attaining it as there are
delegates. Ever sinco Oklahoma was
first opened to settlement there hai
been an intense rivalry between the
different towns. Congress provided
that the first legislature of Oklahoma
should meet at (Juthric and fix the ter
ritorial capital. Then began a fight
of the bitterest kind between tho dif
ferent towns. Legislatures voted tho
capital three times to Oklahoma City
and onco to Kingfisher, but Governor
Steele vetoed it ench time, and tho
capital remains at tiiithric.
The location of the future capital of
Oklahoma as a state will depend
largely on the boundary lines of tho
now state. If a state is made of .Okla
homa with its present boundaries,
Kiugfishcr or El Jleno would be near
the center and would stand better
chances for the capitol than either
l'erry, Guthrie or Oklahoma City, on
the extreme eastern edge of the state.
So Kingfisher and El Heno favor im
racdiato statehood of Oklahoma with
its present bounds, and the l'crry,
Guthrie and Oklahoma City people nro
against it.
Oklahoma City wants a single state
made of Oklahoma territory. That
would make Oklahoma City the
geographical center of tho stnte and
put her first in the race for the cap
ital. This local feeling about the fu
ture location of the capital is one of
tho great elements in the fight for
statehood and must not be lost sight
of by anyone who desires to under
stand the situation here.
A large clement in the convention
will favor the formation of a State out
of Oklahoma, with tho Chickasaw na
tion added, and with a provision for
allowing the other nations of tho In
dian Territory to come in as they
wish, with the consent of Congress.
Some ltepublicans oppose this, because
Oklahoma is Republican and nine out
of ten people in the Chickasaw nation
arc Democrats, und that would mako
the State of Oklahoma Democratic.
Republicans bay it is a scheme of tho
Democrats to capture the State, and
they would rather see a State made of
Oklahoma with its present boundaries.

11. P. Owens, a traveling man thirty
years of age, who is well Known in this
coinmunltv anil generally liked because ho
is a bright, energetic jottng iellow, resides
with his mother at VX Central Avenue,
Cincinnati. Ohio. Ho hns been a victim of
dyspepsia which took tho form of continu
ous constipation, and, strangely enough,
his mother suffered from thosamo troutile.
Mr. Owens testilicd to the merits ot Pink;
Pills in a most cuttmslastlu way, and said,
to tho Enquirer reporter:
'I am glad to sav anything 1 can for Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, because thoy did me
gicat gooJ, nnd other ieoile ought to know
of their virtues nun medicine In stomach
troubles. It was somo time ago when I
felt a heavy fcelini? in my stomach, and I
grew vcrv constipated. 1 did not consult a,
doctor, but having heard of the Pink Pills I
bought a box of thcin. In two or thrcu
days tho heavy feeling in my stomach dis
appeared nnd my bowels wero regular. I
did not huvo to uso moro thnn a box of
them beforo I was well. Sinco that time I
huvo only occasionally boon troubled with
constipation, and 1 never got worried, be
cause I know just what to do. Mother was
also troubled with indigestion and tho.
Pink Pills did thu same for her they did
for mc cured her, didn't they, mother."
When appealed to Mrs. Owens answered:
"That is right. 1 found it was n great
medicine, so easy to take and so quick and
lasting in its results."
Mr. Owens continued: "I believe that
these pills aro also good for nervousness.
When I had my stomach trouble I was alo
qulto nervous and that disappeared with
tho dvspensla. ThoPiak Pills were ad that
is claimed for them. You can niako any
use of this testimonial you sco fit."
II. P. Owens has occupied sovoral posi
tions of trust in this city. Ho was Tor a
tinio nn employe of the Coniuierclal-G:i7cttc.
Ho will go on tho road in a lew days for a.
prominotit business house hero. .Mrs.
Owens Is quite r.s enthusiastic as her son
about tho Pink Pills and her host of lady
friends can verify her good opinion of this
wonderful remedy if thoy feci disposed to
do so at any time. Where tho testimony
is so general and unanimous as to the ex
cellencies of Pink Pills ns tho Enquirer has
found it to be there is certainly good icasou
to believo nil the good things said about.

gling young genius, opening a letter
from the editor. "He says my poem is
'very good,' and ho accepts it, but
'under tho circumstances' "he does not
'feel justified in allowing more than SI
for it,' which sum ho begs to inclose.'
When he finds out it's an acrostic con

a stingy old cus, he won't think he got
that poem so blamed cheap after all, gol
