Ono farm iu Stanton county sold last week for $50 per aero and an other for $51.CO. Boouo county laud is also becoming active. Quo farm iu that county of over 200 acres recently sold for $55 per acre. "The demand for farm loaus is enor mous for this season of the year aud these loaus this mouth will probably bo double what they. were in December , The majority of loans are made for the purchase of land and in every case the price of the laud has advanced consider ably over what it was at the former sale. Money is easy , but the increased do- maud makes it apparently slow of receipt - coipt , as the applications must bo inves tigated aud whou there are so many of them this requires timo. The average interest rate on f arm loane iu the state at this time is C.C per cent , which generally includes all couiinissloue and in many instances the cost of ex amination. Omaha Bee.

BAYS FACTS ARE DISTORTED. Declares There la No Such Thing ae Reconcentratlon In Strict Sense of the Term Government IB Keeping No Secrets. OlUcaco , Jan. 27. William H. Taft , civil governor of the Philippine Isl ands , arrived In Cliloago yoatorday train San Francisco. "Tup .only ansvrqr I kavo to make to the Idvas of individual obsorvont , who dooioro th.at the true ooudltlou in , the PulUpplatM IB being conc6alud , or that TTO are K KBl K aaiuslouB of paaco tout can never be brought About , in tkat tka government IB coaco llne otlilas and tkat UB enolualonB ar Bt ba * d a wild thearloa , but sub stantial footi. " Tkls waa tU * roily Governor Tt nado to , tatmeat published , by Staphm BougaX Declaring , that doapor- ata opposition vraa still being eaqount- orod in tkq 'field And that tha natives ar irreooacillable aid batter organ- Ixnd thaa befora tha capture of Agutn- aMo. Governor Taft said that ai- thouak there was & tlmo whom for mili tary roaaoai It hod , not boon advisable t make public ovorythine occurring la tha Philippines , the mocoislty for euoh socrqcjla over and that no ef fort is now bolng made , to conceal any part of Uie truth. "As a matter of fact , " he eiMed , "the embora of dis trust are being kept alive by sensa tionalists , who seize upon every petty point and seek to twist It into some horrlblo barbarity of our government in the Islands. Take for instance the talk about concentration camps. Al though I am not sumclqutly well ac quainted with the full military plans to speak with absolute authority , 1 can say that the whole subject la much misunderstood by our people , There has never been any thought of establishing 'concentration camps' in the ordinary acceptance of the term. All that has boon proposed Is an insur gent cordon , the establishment of a dead line , Into which will gradually bo drawn all the remnanta of InsurreC' tlon that exist. The noncombatants on the islands have never , even at the hardest period of the war , received anything but the utmost kindness and consideration at our hands and It ia hardly probable that this policy will bo reversed now that the opposition la fast drawing to a close. " The governor believes that the only existing opposition to the authority of the United States is being fomented by the men who form the Hong Kong Junta , most of whom were formerly residents of the rich coffee growing province of Batangaa. "It is in this province , " he went on , "that we are now meeting with our only difficulty. My statements con cerning the close of the rebellion are not optimistic , In the sense that they are overdrawn. They are based upon nothing but plain facts. The natives are rapidly developing an affection for our Institutions and a large number of former Insurgents have become valua ble members of the community , fully worthy of any trust that may be re posed In them. The coming elections will develop the real progress In this direction and t aim certain that the re- Bult will be gratifying. " Governor Taft left last night over the Pennsylvania road for Cincinnati It was his intention to hurry on to Washington on Tuesday , but the death of his mother-in-law , Mrs. Herron caused him .to alter his plans and It will bo several days before he reaches the capital. 8CHURMAN EXPLAINS SPEECH Advocates Eventual Independence o ' the Philippines' Ithaca , N.
