Stay in : ebraska.
"flow does New Mexico compare wit h
: 'ebraska" " was asked of W. D Dfes
senger , formerly of Gage coulaty , who
wasted a year in searching for a bette r
place than this state. Here is his
a nswer ; ,
"It cannotcompare with Nebraska a t
all. It raises nothing that Nebraska
does not raise , except a little fruit , and
does not raise half tvhatl'ebraska does.
1'be soil is not as good as Nebraska
soil and the water is not fit to use. The
Pecos ricer is a large stream , to be
sure , but } t is fed with alkali springs
and its water is very bad. There is
some tt ater obtained from wells that is
fairly good , but all time rater must be
boiled before it can be used safely.
They have no grains or corn , the
country is not suited for stock and
there is no stool { raising there. The
climate cannot compare with our Ne
brasha climate , and Nebraska is a far
better country than the Pecos valley.
Doyens of families that were attracted
t here by the wild stories circulated by
the company that owns most of the
land , have moved out after losing all
the money they brought there. Land
sells for x,35 an acrd at the lowest and
this includes a water right. If a man
buys forty acres and only wants to irrigate -
gate ten acres he has to pay $ l. . 5 an
acre for water for time entire forty
acres , whether he. irrigates all of it or
only one acre. What is more , this can
never be paid out , and this tax of wIO a
year on forty acres for watergoes right
on for all time. Ile may pay up his
] and , but he can never escape that $5 ( )
a year. I went into Old Mexico and
'texas , but things are even worse there.
I have seen this southern country , and
1 am prepared to say that when a man
leaves Nebraska and goes there he
m akes a grand mistake. "
To Test the Rounty Law.
Fremont dispatch : A second meeting -
ing of small beet growers was held at
tire court house for the purpose of
tatting further action against time Ox-
n ards for that it is claimed is unfair
treatment received at the hands of the
factory. There was an attendance of
forty or fifty. It resolved itself into a
sort of an experience meeting , many of
t hose present relating their efforts at
beet growing. It developed that the
spirit of the meeting was decidedly in
favor of beet growing : The only hostility -
tility was for what is claimed to be unjust -
just treatment by the factory. A resolution -
lution was passed declaring in favor of
the sugar beet industry provided ; t reliable -
liable market can be had for the pro-
duct.
A written opinion was read from
Judge Maxwell as to the legalityof time
sugar bounty bill. He stated that it
was illegal for the reason that it pro-
videii fora bounty for both sugar and
chicory in the same bill ; also that the
warrants issued for the payment of the
bounty were not good because they
could not be legally issued until after a
specific appropriation had been made
for them ; also that the Otnards could
not be held for damages if , in making
their contracts , they gave time growers
fo understand the sugarr per cent had
never fallen below the 50.1 ° test and
was not likely to fall below that Stan.

Irrigation by Artesian 'Yells.
One of the determined movements ir ,
Knox county this year will be irrigation -
tion by means of artesian wells. Cap-
italists of that locality have decided to
ake it possible for every owner of 160
acres of land to have an artesian well , '
and since this is almost always a sure
di scovery at a depth of from 5,0 to 750
feet , less than $1,000 thus invested in a
well , a reservoir and necessary laterals
considered the safest security that
can be found for capital. This is no
longer a matter of experiment , wells
raving been found in many parts of the
north half of Knox county and as far
west as old Fart Randall. The Nio-
rara wells are wonders in their power lo
and supply , the eight-inch well hating
pressure of ninety-five pounds , and
the one finished this winter having 107
pounds pressure. Others are in con-
mplation during the year. is
It is believed by all who have made
this a study that the insurance of crops
by means of artificial moisture will en-
ble that community to prosper more
pffectually than in any other tray.

TESLL'S CURE ,
A IL CgAICLDEYICl TO 1 E AL
ALL ORGANIC DISEASE ,
INTERESTS SCIENTISTS.
The hmuau System Given a Thorough
Atomic Shaking Up by 100 . Vlhra-
tlous a r ecoud-Lxerciso Without -
out Exercise - Ex-Mayor
iIetvitt's Experience-
Mr. Tesla's Clatme.
C.
NEW YORK , Jan. ° 0.-Scientific men
are greatly interested in the apparatus
for the treatment of organic diseases
invented by Nicola Tesa ] , the young
genius of electricity. The assertion
has been made that it would cure any
organic disease , even consumption ,
but , as a ] natter of fact , 'resla makes
no claim for his invention , that it is a
c ure all. He simply says that in many
cases he has been able to improve the
health of his friends , and that he will
wait for some competent physician to
give his invention a series of practical -
tical tests.
Ills theory is that the proper exer-
c isc for time body is that. which will
reach the atoms , and give strength to
every portion of the body. Physical
e.1C1 CiSC , such as walking or horseback
riding , he believes to be of great benefit -
efit to the system , but for complete exercise -
ercise each atom of time body should
be reached. Acting upon this theory
he has made it possible to give to the
system by tncaus of electricity the
much needed e."ercksc. He hoes fur-
t her and declares that by vary inR his
apparatus he can give special treatment -
ment to any portion of tlrc body that
may needstrengtlrening.
WThen a person's ailment , for instance -
stance , is caused by torpidity of the
liver , 111'reslr ; says , time physicians
order the patient to take much and
violent exercise , such as riding. Now ,
according to' Mr. ' 1'esla , if the patient
twill take a scat on his apparatus lrc
twill get in half a minute the equiva-
lent of ; r whole day's ride. And , best
of all , he will not be subjected to any
jolting such as he gets on horseback ,
not does he experience any of the
f atigue incident to riding. Yet , not-
withstanding the absence of these
characteristics , the patient will have
received as 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 lU ! ) per second ,
and distribnted so evenly through the
system that one scarcely perceives any
alteration of his condition.
Ex-Mayor Abram S. Ilewitt of New
York recently visited Mr. Tesla's
laboratory in East IIonstun street and
complained that he was troubled with
h is liver.
"I have been taking something Mr
it . for some time , " said Mr. Hewitj „
.but I don't seem to be getting any
better. "
"I think I can fix that ; just sit down
here and excuse me a minute , " replied
M r. ' 1'esla , pointing to a chair and
handing llr. Hewitt a newspaper.
Then Testa went out , ostensibly in
search of some nostrum he had tried ,
but in reality to turn on the electric
current. When he returned , in a minute -
ute or so. Mr. Hewitt seemed an entirely -
tirely changed man. IIc said , after
Tcsla had explained that time chair
whereon Mr. Iietvitt had been sitting
was loaded with electricity , that he
had felt a sort of creeping sensation.
but of a rather pleasant nature and
not at all associated with the ordinary
notion of the way in which electricity
manifests itself. And as to his illness
M r. Hewitt acknowledged that it
seemed to have entire ] } ' vanished. .
Mr. Telta calls his apparatus an
oscillator and describes the treatment
as "a system of mechanical ytb : a-
tious. " The principle upon which the
apparatus is based tvrs enunciated by
M r. Testa several years ago , and was
immediately taken up and put into
'practice in a crude way hyan Austrian
professor , who asserts that "vibra-
tions" had the inevitable effect of killing -
ing the bacteria : which prey upon the
lungs and constitute consumption.
