"How does Now Mexico comparo with Nobraska?" was asked of W. I). Mes senger, formerly of Gago county, who wasted a year In searching for a bettor place than this state. Hero is hia answer: "It cannot compare with Nebraska nt all. It raises nothing that Nebraska docs not raise, except a little fruit, and does not raise half what Nobraska docs. Tho soil is not as good ao Nebraska soil and tho water Is not fit to use. Tho Pecos river is a large stream, to be suro, but it Is fed with alkali springs and Its water is very bad. There is some water obtulncd from wells that is fairly good, but all tho water must bo boiled before it can be used safely. They havo no grains or corn, tho country is not suited for stock and there is no stock raising there. Tho climate cannot comparo with our Ne braska climate, nnd Nebraska, is a far hotter country than tho Pecos valley. Dozens of families that -were ottractcd there by tho wild torlcsclrcnlatcd by tiie 'company that awns most of the land, havo moved out after losing all the money they brought there. Land sells for 835 nn ncro at tho lowest and (this Includes a water right. If a man buys forty acres and only wants to irri gate ten acres ho has to pay 31.25 an acre for water for 'the entire forty acres, whether ho "irrigates all of it or only one acre. What Is more, this can never bo paid out, and this tax of 850 a 'year on forty acres for water goes right on for all time. Ho may pay up his land, but ho can never escape that 850 a year. I went Into Old Mexico and Texas, but things nrooven worso there. I havo seen this southern country, nnd I am prepared to say that when a man leaves Nebraska and goes there he makes a grand mistake."

Fremont dispatch: A second meet ing of smnll beet growers was held at tho court house for tho purpose of taking further action ngainst the Ox nards for what It Is claimed Is unfair treatment received at the hands of tho factory. There was rin attendance of forty or fifty. It resolved itself Into a sort of nn experience meeting, many of thoso present relating their efforts at beet growing. It developed that tho spirit of tho meeting was decidedly in favor of beet growing. The only hos tility was for what Is claimed to be un just treatment by tho factory. A reso lution was passed declaring in favor of the sugar beet industry provided a re liable market can be had for tho pro duct. A written opinion was read from Judgo Maxwell as to tho legality of the sugar bounty bill, llo stated that It was illegal for tho reason that it pro vided for a bounty for both sugar and chicory In tho same bill; also that tho warrants issued for the payment of tho bounty wero not good because they could not be legally issued until after a specific appropriation hud been made for them; also that tho Oxnurds could not bo held for damages if, in making their contracts, they gave the growers to understand tho sugar per cent nau never fallen below tho 8a 12 test and was not likely to fall below that stan dard.

Irrigation bv Artenlan WelU. One of tho determined movements it. Knox county this year will bo irriga tion by means of artesian wells. Cap italists of that locality havo decided to make it possible for every owner of 1C0 acres of land to have an artesian well, and since this is almost always a sure discovery at a depth of from 530 to 750 feet, less than 81,000 thus invested in u well, a reservoir and necessary laterals is considered tho safest security that .can be found for capital. This is no longer n matter of experiment, wells having been found in many parts of tho nortii half of Knox county and as fur west as old Fort Randall. Tho Nio brara wells are wonders in their power and supply, thoclght-lnoh well having a pressure of ninety-five pounds, und the ono finished this winter having 107 pounds pressure. Others uro in con lemplutlon during tho year. It is believed by all who have made ithis a study that tho insurance of crops by means of artificial moisture will en able that community to prosper moro vffoctunlly than in any other way.

A MECHANICAL DEVICE TO HEAL ALL ORGANIC DISEASES, INTERESTS SCIENTISTS. Tim lliminii Syntein (llten a Thorough Atomle HhnklnR Up by 100 Vibra tion it fc'econd lUerelno With out Kxerelitn Fx-Mnjur Ilewltt'n Kxperlcnea Mr. Trlii' Claim. Ni:v Yoiik, Jan. 20, Scientific men arc greatly interested in the apparatus for the treatment of organic diseases invented by Nicola Tesln, tho young genius of electricity. Tho assertion has been made that it would euro any organic disease, even consumption, but, as a matter of fact, Tesla makes, no claim for his invention, that it is a euro all. He simply says Unit in many cases he has been able to improve tho health of his friends, and that he will wait for some competent physician to givo his invention a scries of prac tical tests. 1 1 is theory is that the proper exer cise for the body Is that which will reach tho atoms, and give strength to every portion of tho body. Physical exercise, such aswalkingor horseback riding, ho believes to bo of great ben efit to the system, but for complete ex ercise each atom of the body should be reached. Acting upon this theory he has mudu it possible to givo to the system by means of electricity the much needed exercise. He goes fur ther and declares that by vnrylnir his apparatus ho can givo special treat ment to any portion of tho body that may need strengthening. When a person's ailment, for in stil ncc, is caused by torpidity of the liver, Mr. Tesla says, tho physicians order tho p.itient to take much and violent exercise, such as ruling. .Now, according to Mr. Tesln, if the patient will take a seat on his apparatus he will get In half a minute the equiva lent of a whole day's ride. And, best of all, he will not be subjected to any jolting such us ho gets on horseback, no,- does he experience any of the fatigue incident to riding. Yet, not withstanding tho absence of these characteristics, the patient will have received us thorough a shaking up as if. lie had been trotting all day long. The apparatus accomplishes this by means of tiny, but powerful electric shocks at the rate of 100 per second, and distrlbnted so evenly through the system that one scarcely perceives any alteration of his condition. Ex-Mayor Abrnm S. Hewitt of Now York recently visited Mr. Tesla's laboratory in East Houston street and complained that he was troubled with his liver. . "I have been taking something for it for some time," said Mr. Hewitt, "but I don't seem to be getting any better." "1 think 1 can fix that; just sit down heio and excuse mo u minute,'' replied Mr Tesla, pointing to a chair and handing Mr. llowltt a newspaper. Then Tesla went out, ostensibly in search of some nostrum he had tried, but in reality to turn on tho electric current. When he returned, in n min ute or so, Mr. Hewitt seemed an en tirely changed num. He said, after Tesla hud explained that tho chair whereon Mr. Hewitt hud been sittinc was loaded with electricity, that he had felt a sort of creeping sepsutinu. but of a rather pleasant nature and not at all associated with the ordiuury notion of tho way in which electricity manifests itself. And as to his illness Mr. Hewitt acknowledged that it seemed to have entirely vanished. Mr. Tclsa calls his apparatus an oscillator und describes the treatment as "a system of mechanical vibra tions." The principle upon which the apparatus is based was enunciated by Mr. Telsa several yeurs ago. und was immediately taken up und put into praetico hi a crude way by uu Austrian professor, who asserts that "vibra tions" had the inevitable effect of kill ing tho bucteria which prey upon the lungs and constitute consumption. )lj'(l lo tho Santa F I.

Mrs. Dimmick is well known here and cs tecemed, and It is conceded that should General Harrison bo called again to tho chief magistracy, the White house could not have a more gracious and charming mistress. From a few sources the comment is mndo that from a political standpoint the mar riage is a mistake, and It effectually disposes of General Harrison an a pres idential candidate.

AS Tim Document lteferrei! to the Commit tee, on 1'ubllc Lands Senxatlon Cre ated by n Fervent Prayer for Strug gling Calm Further Connlderntlon of the Penilnn Appropriation Hill. Special McMago to Congreiou Washington, Jun. 18.--Tho Presi dent to-day sent a special message to tho House urging the necessity for immediate legislation to extend tho limit of time within which suits can bo brought by the government to an nul grants of public lands. He called attention to the numerous complications that hnd arisen between railroads as to grants that overlapped and tho necessity, for adjustment. The time in which suits can be brought expires March 3, 180f., and if the time limit wero allowed to expire then a portion of the adjustment act would be rendered nugatory. The govern ment, the president says in conclusion, should not be prevented from going into the courts und righting wrongs perpetrated by its agents. Tho message was referred to the committee on public lunds. There was a most unusual demon stration at tho opening of tho session of tho House to-day. The blind chap lain, whose ardent Americanism has frequently occasioned remark, prayed fervently to-day for "struggling Cuba" and the "success of her battle for independence" and when he con cluded the sentiments he had expressed were given a hearty round of applause. On motion of Mr. Gamble of South Dakota, Republican, a bill was passed granting to the city of Chamberlain, S. D., the right to use American island in the Sioux Indian reservation. The House then went Into a commit tee of the whole for the consideration of the pension appropriation bill. Tho general debate on tho bill closed to day and tho bill was opened to amend ment under the live minute rule. CAPTURED BY CHIGAGO. It Gets the National Deiuocratto Com ca tion After n Hard right. Washington, Jan. le. Tho Demo cratic national convention will bo held at the city of Chicago on July 7. That was tho decision reached by tho national Democratic committee after an interesting, and at times exciting, session, which continued until 11 o'clock last night. The main interest, of course, cen tered in the choice of the convention city. For this honor there were four applicants, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincin nati and New York. Thirty minutes was allowed each city in which to pre sent its claims. The speeches, made by distinguished citizens in each in stance, were of high order of excel lence, and, at times, aroused the greatest enthusiasm. The balloting began about 0 o'clock and, from the first, a long and bitter struggle was indicated. Ex-Governor Francis, Governor Stone, Mayor Wulbridgc and Senator Vest spoke for St. Louis. The first ballot resulted: Chicago, ...si. . . ... r . .... s; Cincinnati, ii: at, i.ouis, m: .cw York, M. There was pruetically no change, except a light lluctuatiou of a vote or two, until the tenth ballot, when Chicago began gradually to In crease her vote at the expense of New York. At tho twenMeth ballot New York's strength was rapidly disinte grating, her vote going almost bodily to Chicago. Rut St. Louis, which had tenaciously clung to her nineteen votes, also captured several of Cincin nati's votes, and on the ballot before the last led Chicago by one vote. On tho last ballot, the twenty-ninth, which was taken shortly before 11 o'clock, the four remaining votes of Now York were thrown to Chicago, and she obtained tho necessary plural ity. Senator Price voted for Cincin nati to the last. An examination of the vote by States shows that St. Louis had prac tically tho solid support of the freo silver votes in the committee. OKLAHOMA FREE HOMES. The House Will Fatts the I.ucey 11111 Slightly Amended. Washington, Jun. 18. The "free homes" bill, which wns prepared by Mr. Lacey and which differs from the Flynn bill only that it is general in application and not restricted to Okla homa, will be favorably reported to tho House with amendment. That was decided at to-day's meeting of the committee on public lands. Flynn's bill, it will be remembered, was or dered reported without amendment. Speaker Reed has completed his un official consideration of the latter bill and declares privately that lio favors it, which is but another way of saying thut it will pass the House. On tho othcrdiund.SecrcturySmith said he was opposed to tho measure und tho whole theory upon which it is bused. Ha hus not yet prepared the statement of his views which the House requested, and may not bo able to for several duys, but when it is received it will bo found to be an uncompromising con demnation of the bill and its principle. Under thev Flynn bill, none of the settlors who have purchased lands of tho government in Oklahoma, which includes the great bulk of the settlers, will be required to pay a dollar of tho purchase money he has agreed to pay. Nothing moro than tho customary land office fees will be exacted. Under the Lncey bill the releuso ex tends to all such settlers In every state and territory. The fireut F.lectrlelu n Pound.
