a single human spared
Early reports placed the loss of life
at a smaller figure so that while it
is believed the later reports are more
correct it is not possible now to make
positive statements
Those who have visited the secnes
of the disaster describe them as ap
palling The destruction of property
besides that of life probably will
reach in the millions
The storm appears to have wrought
tremendous damage in other Texas
towns some of which are said also to

LOCAL OPTION LAND LEASING
What Land Agent Says Stockmen of
Western Nebraska Want
OMAHA Neb May 19 The all
absorbing topic of discussion among
thousands of stockmen in Nebraska
Colorado Wyoming and Idaho now is
the question of leasing the public
lauds said C E Wantland who is
the general agent of the Union Paci
fic Land company at Denver and who
came to Omaha Thursday The
change of sentiment on this subject
has been something marvelous in its
extent and suddenness Stockmen
and hundreds of them who only yes
terday were fighting bitterly every
proposition faintly contemplating the
leasing of these lands are now actu
ally advocating such a movement most
enthusiastically
Just now the problem is how to
let those stockmen who are now fa
vorable to the leasing scheme do so
while the ones who still hold out may
not be affected For instance in west
ern Nebraska the stockmen are all
won over and are demanding this
method of handling the ranges There
are about 10000000 acres of public
lands out there and the stockmen
wish to lease them About half of
this territory can be irrigated Now
if the western Nebraska people whose
conditions are different from the con
ditions in other states can agree upon
a fair plan for range control in their
state to protect their interests from
destruction why not allow them to
have it
We think we have this plan now
in the local option scheme When I
proposed this two years ago it met
with a storm of protest Now the
stockmen are asking for its establish
ment in many places It is a county
local option land leasing plan which
is to be applied to any county when
ever the secretary of the interior is
satisfied that a majority of the stock
men in that county wish it to go into
effect

SUGAR BEET TESTS
Nebraska Experiment Stations Tells
of Results
LINCOLN Neb May 17 The Ne
braska experiment station has just is
sued bulletin number 73 which gives
the results of a number of experi
ments in the production of sugar
beets The bulletin may be obtained
free of cost by residents of the state
upon writing to the agricultural ex
periment station Lincoln Neb
The following is a digest of the
bulletin
The sugar beet experiments report
ed in bulletin No 73 were conducted
during the season of 1901 upon the
farm of the Standard Cattle company
at Ames Dodge county Nebraska
These experiments included tests of
varieties tests of fertilizers distance
of planting time of planting meth
ods of cultivation and the treatment
of sugar beet diseases
A test of thirty seven varieties tin
der similar conditions showed a wide
variation in the total amount of su
gar produced per acre the original
Klein Wanzlebener occupying first
place
A comparison of light and heavy
soils for sugar beet production show
ed a considerably higher sugar con
tent in the beets grown upon the
heavy soil
Slight increases in the yield sugar
content and purity of beets were pro
duced by the use of commercial fer
tilizers but their use did not seem to
be profitable upon the land where the
tests were made Of the different
classes of fertilizers used the phos
phate gave the best results
A comparison of different depths of
cultivating sugar beets was in favor
of about four to five inches as com
pared with six inch or two to three
inch cultivation
The most satisfactory distance of
planting was found to be eighteen
inches between rows and eight inches
between plants in the rows
BIG FUND FOR EDUCATION
Coming Apportionment to the Various
Counties to Be Record Breaker
LINCOLN Neb May 17 The
semi annual apportionment of state
funds for the public schools of Ne
braska which will be certified by the
state treasurer to the superintendent
of public instruction on May 19 will
be one of tiie largest ever made by
the state Forty counties have thus
lar failed to report the funds for the
month but the other fifty have shown
an increase over the corresponding
period last year of approximately 8
000
We look for an apportionment that
will give us about 1 for each person
of school age said Superintendent
Fowler I well remember the time
when both semi annual apportion
ments together made not over 150
for each person of school age but this
year we will have two thirds of the
amount in one apportionment The
school population of the state is 377
000 The apportionment in December
last was 316893 and in the May pre
ceding was 350853 So far as I
know the greatest apportionment ever
made by the state gave only 102 per
each person of school age We may
tail a little behind our expectations
this time but it is doubtful

Laid Up for Sixteen Weeks
St Jacobs Oil and Vogolors Cur
ative Compound Cured Him
41 1 have been a great sufferer from Rheu
matism for many years I was laid up with
Rheumatic Fever for nine weeks in 1894 and
again for sixteen 16 weeks in 1S96 I tried
many medicines I saw advertised and others
I was recommended finally I was induced
to take Vogelers Curative Compound which
did me more good than all other medicines
In fact I feel quite a different man since I
have been taking the Compound All my
neighbors and friends are quite surprised to
see me about and looking so well I can
only say that Vogelers Curative Compound
taken internally and by using St Jacobs Oil
outwardly acted like -magic in my case I
had been taking medicines for years without
obtaining benefit but Vogelers has practi
cally cured me I have recommended Vog
elers Curative Compound to a lot of my
acquaintances and they tell me that it has
worked wonders
Wishing you every success in the sale of
your Vogelers Curative Compound and St
