PARTIES in the vicinity of North
Loup who have raised pop corn the past
season for the useof easterndealers report -
port a decided Increase in the returns
realized over those obtained formerly
for the same amount of labor expended
in raising ordinary field corn. While
the crop is somewhat difficult to gather -
er , the great difference in the price
amply justifies the extra labor , while
the tillage , acre for acre , is said to be
. no greater than that required by ordinary -
i nary field corn. One farmer has already
made arrangements with a Lincoln
seed house to put in a large quantity of
field beans and table corn the coming
season.

A Br.11 who left Nebraska and went
south writes : "When spring comes
and we get over the 'shakes' we will
all be back to Nebraska. We have
beetx here some sixteen months , have
raised nothing and our money is all
gone paying doctor bills. Nothing here
but fever and ague. "
T. It FISHER received word to get a
farm for a man from Illinois. In the
list of farms for sale he reported several
choice ones , but none , says the Grafton
correspondent of the Fairmont Signal ,
of them cheap in price. Regardless of
the prevailing hard times in financial 1
m atters farmers who live here have
not lost faith in Nebraska.

Stand by Nebraska.
A Beatrice correspondent of the Lin'
coin Journal writes : The recent publication -
lication in the Chicago Times-Hcral4 of
a page article pretending to show that
a large percentage of Nebraska s people -
ple were seeking homes in the south ,
has stirred up a host of Gage county
people who have been south and who
have returned disgusted. The Journal
could name at least a score who have
been able to get back and as many
more who would like to , but can't.
Dick Davis , a gentleman who lived in
the city for over ten years , caught tlia
southern fever , traded a fine brick
block for land in Louisiana , and staved
there less than six months after arrir-
lug in the state. He says he was glad
to take in exchange for the property
mortgaged property in Des Moines , Ia.
Joseph Cuittard had a similar experience -
ence , Mr. Suitor , who went to Texas
from near DeWitt , after staving there
one year , sacrificed his land. and personal -
sonal property to enable him to return
to Nebraska. These men all tell a
similar story. They were enticed to
their prospecting trips at a season of
the year when things were pretty blue
in Nebraska and when the crops and
climatic conditions of the south were
at their best. Two gentlemen in the
city , who have large property interests ,
were offered free transportation and
expenses paid by a southern railroad if
they would go south and thereby show
at least an indication to change their
location. 'rite offer was declined with
thanks.
Sick of the South.
Fairbury dispatch : harry Chain oi.
Rock Creek precinct , in this county , is
an industrious farmer , who , prompted
by crop failures and the alluring tales
that came from the south , departed
some weeks since for Louisiana to inspect -
spect the "modern Eden" with a view
of locating. lie stopped at St. Charles ,
that state , and there he wrote home
that he would return to Nebraska in
time to put in a crop. lie had enough

emphatic language. It had , he said.
rained there steadily for two weeks and
the state was but little better than a
vast slough , which he did not consider
fit to be inhabited by human beings ,
Wells seven feet deep supplied the populace -
ulace with very unwholesome water ,
and the dead were either cremated or
buried above ground and dirt piled
over them for a covering. Digging a
grave according to the civilized custom
was out of the question on account of r
the surface water. Chills and ague
were prevalent the year round and
ignorance and indolence predominated
to a surprising degree. Mthoughsome-
thing of a pessimist when he left he
now says the Nebraska farmer who
exchanges his land for possessions in
the south makes a great mistake.
Sugar Bounty Warrants.
Lincoln dispatch : There has been
considerable curiosity around the state
house as to what would be the final
outcome of the matter of the warrants
drawn by the state auditor on the
state general fund in paymentof the
$40,000 of bounty claimed by the beet
sugar manufacturers from the state.
The auditor took the ground that although - ,
though there was no appropriation
for this specific purpose , that since the
secretary of state had certified to him
that the sugar made had been inspected -
ted and amounted to so much there I
was no choice but for him , the auditor ,
to issue the warrants under the man-
datory.
The opponents of the bounty it has
been supposed would take some action
to prevent the payment of the warrants -
rants by the state treasurer. Just
what this would be has been the subject -
ject of much speculation.
Leases on Public Lands.
Land Commissioner Russell has latch
received a great many remittances for
leases due on public lands far below
the minimum amount which he feels
disposed to accept for such rents. In
good times it is usual forrenters to pay
the full amount , sonic $ G for each forty
acres , but he has taken as low as 15
cents per forty. Of late quite a number -
ber of renters have sent in amounts
based on a payment as low as 3 and 4
cents per forty. The commissioner
believes the time has come to draw the
line , and has returned these low rentals -
tals with the statement that it will not
do. Many of the petty payments are
being made by speculators , which
makes the attempt to euchre time state
much more reprehensible. The low
payment of 15 cents has been accepted
on the supposition that the parties were
actual settlers and in no condition at
present to make larger payments.
Ent Nebraska Leads.
As an agricultural state , says time
Blair Courier , Nebraska leads the
union. Her soil is better adapted to
farming than that of any other state.
One important item that shows the fertility -
tility of our soil is the fact that there
are 15,247,705 acres of land under cultivation -
tivation and during 1895 there was
spent for fertilizer 519.269. Mississippi
had only 6,849,390 under the plow , yet
she spent for fertilizer $7SO,2GS ; Alabama -
bama had 7,698,3.43 acres and spent for
fertilizer $2,41,645 ; Georgia had 9.5S2-
SCG acres and spent for fertilizer $5-
724,1S7. Thus you can readily see that
Nebraska soil is richer and better
adapted to the agricultural pursuits
than any other state. Iowa ranks a
close second , as crop statistics will
show , but Nebraska leads.
Civil Service Mills.
The civil service commission has
given notice of examinations to be held
throughout the United States during
the first six months of 1896. In Nebraska
braska examinations will be held at
Hastings , April 22 , andatOmaba , April
4. Railway mail examinations will
be held in Omaha , April 23. The states
in which examinations are to be held
have not received their quota of appointments -
pointments , and therefore are eligible
to take any of the examinations for po
siticns within the classified service.
ALongerState Fair.
President Barnes of the State Board
of agriculture says he will , in his address -
dress at the annual meeting to ho held
in Lincoln , January 21 , recommend
that the fair be opened on Thursda - ,
instead of Friday , as heretofore , and
that it close on Saturday instead of on
friday. It was freely admitted by
President Barnes and all the members
of the board of managers that the state

A Sub-Committee Appointed to Ir.tft
Itesolutlous Expressing the Flews of
the L'nltcds' Government-
A Committee Appointed to
Consider tlto Cuban
Ouestion.
1VAsulxrrox , Jan. 13.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations vas in
session two hours to day discussing
the Cuban , Armenian and Venezuelan
questions , with incidental reference
to the Monroe doctrine. 'There was a
full attendance of members. The
committee took positive action upon
one subject only. It decided upon a
positive affirmation of the Monroe doctrine -
trine by Congress , and a subcommittee
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
Lodges resolution , which seemed to m
meet the approval of a majority of the i
members. The sub-committee is expected -
pected to report at the next full meeting - '
ing of the committee , or it is passible , ,
that time committee may be polled
without , a formal meeting. The coin- l
mittee was almost unanimous in advocacy - 1
vocacy of a declaration on the Monroe
doctrine. Senator Gray alone is understood -
derstood to have opposed a declaration.
Nearly all of the opinions advanced
were that the Venezuelan affair had
served to emphasize the wisdom of
this doctrine , and that the time was
ripe for an official declaration by time
law making power of the land. The
Associated Press dispatches in
diet iug England's purpose of
dou ; ; independently with Vene-
zuela were commented uuon , as
was also that part of the President's '
message "leaving the door open , " i
as committeemen expressed it , for
this line of attack on England's part.
But it appeared to be time sense of the
committee that if England should succeed - 1
ceed in patching up the matter with
this South American republic that circumstances - j
cumstances should not be allowed to
stand in the way of a general declaration -
tion which would serve at least in future -
ture emergencies.
Senators Sherman , Lode e and Morgan -
gan were appointed , to consider the
Cuban question and the disenssnn in
the committee indicated that whatever -
ever may be done. if anything is done ,
wmll be on the lines of the recognition
of the belligerency of the insurgents.
It was apparent that a very friendly
feeling towards the insurgents pervaded -
vaded time committee , but the inclina ,
tion appeared to be against. immedia4'
action.

OKLAHOMA NEXT.
She Dealres a Place In the Sisterhood or
States.
OKLAIIoatA CITY , Okla. , Jan. 4.-The
town is filled with delegates to the
Statehood convention , which commenced -
menced to-day. Nearly all of them
are in favor of Statehood for Oklahoma -
homa , but there are almost as many
schemes tor attaining it as there are
delegates. Ever since Oklahoma was
first opened to settlement there has
been an intense rivalry between the
different towns. Congress provided
that the first legislature of Oklahoma
should meet at Guthrie and fix the ter-
ritoriul capital. Then began a fight
of the bitterest kind between the different -
ferent towns. Legislatures voted tire
capital three times to Oklahoma City
and once to Kingfisher , but Governor
Steele vetoed it each time , and the
capital remains at Guthrie.
The location of the future capital of
Oklahoma as a state will depend
largely on the boundary lines of the
new state. If a state is made oLOkia-
imoma with its present boundaries ,
Kingfisher or El Betio would be near
the center and would stand better
chances for the capitol than either
ferry , Guthrie or Oklahoma City , on
the extreme eastern edge of the state.
So Kingfisher and El Reno favor immediate -
mediate statehood of Oklahoma with
its present bounds , and the Perry ,
Guthrie and Oklahoma City people are
against it.
Oklahoma City wants a single state
made of Oklahoma territory. That
would make Oklahoma City time
geographical center of the state and
put her first in the race for the cap-
ital. This local feeling about the future -
ture location of the capital is one of
the great elements in the fight for
statehood and must not be lost sight
of by anyone who desires to understand -
stand the situation here.
A large eicmnent in time convention
will favor the formation of a State out
of'Oklahonia. with the Chickasaw nation -
tion added , and with a provision for
allowing the other nations of time Indian -
dian Territory to come in as they
wish , withm the consent of Congress.
Some Republicans oppose this , because
Okimihoma is Republican and nine out
of ten people in the Chickasaw nation
are Democrats , and that would make
time State of Oklahoma Democratic.
Republicans say it is a scheme of time
1)etnocrats to capture the State , and
they would rather sec a State made of
Oklahoma with its present boundaries.
TO ANNEX HAW : ' li.
i
A Treaty of Admission With Undo Sam
Proposed in a liotue Itesolutlon.
tiASIIINGTOX , Jan. 9.-The subject I
of the annexation of the. IIawaiian
islands was broached in the house
today by Mr. Spaulding , Republican ,
of Michigan , in the form of a resoht-
tion , which provided that the Sand-
wick islands be formed into a new
State , to be called the State of Hawaii ,
with a republican form of government -
ment , to be adopted by the people ,
through deputies in convention , with
the consent of the existing govern-
ment. Conditions are imposed that
questions of boundary or complications
with other governments be transmitted -
ted to the President to be laid before
Congress for its final action before
January 1 , 1S98 ; that all property per-
taming to the public defense be ceded !
to the United States , but the State re-
tam n all other property , and the United
States to be liable for none of its
debts.
,
't'he resolution proposes as an alternative -
native that Hawaii may be admitted
as a state by treaty between the two
governments , with one representative
in Congress , and proposes an appro.
priatiuu of SIOOL00 for making the ;
treaty. !
The resolution was read by unani-
mows consent and referred to time corn-
mittee on foreign affairs.
