T1II4 NOliTOI.IC NEWS : Kill DAY. NOVKMIIKlt. 'JO. I ( KM. W. Hcarn of the Department of Agriculture is Here. DESCRIPTIVE. OF THIS VICINITY. Maps and Description will be Fur nished Free to Anyone Requesting Them Area Embraces Norfolk , Stanton , Hadar and Hosklns. [ From Thursday's Dallv. ] Mr. and Mrs. Rdward Hcnrn of "Washington , D. C. , roprosontliiK tlio bureau of soils of the United States ( lopnrtniont of ngrlctilturo , luivo boon In Norfolk for BOIIIQ tlmo nmkliiK a soil survey of tlio immediate terri tory , with an especial vJow to deter mining Its adaptability to tlio culture of tlio sugar beet. Mr. llearn Is as sisted In tlio work by H. L. Uclden. The party came hero from Grand Island where a similar work was done , and these arc the only two sections of tlios ate that have been surveyed up to this tlmo , but It Is Intended In time to locate a complete soil map of the state and of the United States. They have almost completed their work hero. The section covered by this survey takes In Norfolk precinct , which Is the western boundary. The eastern line is about four miles cast of Stanton , nnd the north boundary Is nearly at Pierce and runs east to a point south of Winside , so that Norfolk , Stanton , Hosklns and Hadar are included in the survey. Nine townships are taken in four in Stanton county , two in Madison , two In Wayne and one in Pierce. Ordinarily the work Is undertaken where base mnps have previously been prepared , saving the soil sur vey men much time and trouble. Here this preliminary work had not been done , and consequently had to bo un dertaken by Mr. llearn , talcing him much longer than common. A map Is prepared In colors , each color representing tlio different char acter of the soil , and this Is accom panied by a complete description of the/country , the climate , Its adapta bility * to certain crops , agricultural development , and other facts that are of value to prospective purchasers and farmers. The original map Is sent Into Wash ington where it is engraved and pub lished in the annual report. Samples of the soil are also sent In for analysis by the chemical department to give its chemical and nnchemlcal proper ties and the descriptive matter is printed in book form , which together with the map gives definite Ideas as to the character of the country. In the survey made of this vicinity Mr. llearn has found that there are four soil types , In which clay predom inates , covering about one-third of the territory , and which Is indicated by the red on the map. Bottom land is represented by blue , sandy soil Is shown by yellow , and the sandy bottom tom land in light green. The roads , streams , railway lines and other fea tures of the country are shown , mak ing the maps complete in almost every particular and of great value for ref erence. The descriptive matter outlines the boundaries , soil types and general conditions in the area , gives a history of the settlement , agricultural devel opment , climate , agricultural methods in use , conditions and prosperity of the farmers , the crops tilled and their values , and comparisons are made with other localities. The line of work Is new , but the bu reau has about twenty men out work- Jng In different states , and It Is the Intention to cover the entire country ultimately. Twenty-five states are now being surveyed , and Nebraska will be entirely covered In time. The work of getting these maps and descriptions out is Intended for the benefit of the public , but as it is ex pensive it is not given general distri bution , perhaps to fall into the hands of those who will not appreciate It. However , it Is sent to anyone on re quest , describing any portion of the country desired , the department con sidering that those who will write for the maps and descriptions are enough interested to preserve the work for reference. In addition to the descriptions and analysis published In the regular reports , page half-tones are published , giving a definite idea of portions of the area surveyed and Its 'triklng characteristics. A number of these illustrations appear with each area surveyed. It will take some time to complete the Norfolk map and de scriptive matter , but the names ol those making requests for It will bo kept on file and the work delivered , free of all cost , as soon as it is com pleted. It has been remarked by early settlers tlors that what was sandy soil in this locality has gradually been working into a clay loam. Many have been In cllned to laugh at the assertion. Mr Hoarn was asked if it was possible for sandy soil to eventually become clay. Ho said that the action of the climate , the freezing and thawing , the rain and the wind , was all the time . working sand up Into liner particles , * nnd considered that in time , with the mixing In of vegetable matter Is was probable that sandy soil would even tually become clay , but of course the process Is slowj and the change may not bo very noticeable during a man's lifetime. Old settlers assort , however - over , that they can notice a decided change In the soil In this section , nnd tracts that worm once sand are now' clay. It Is thus , undoubtedly , Unit no' counts for the gradual disappearance ) f the "Great American Desert , " de scribed In the early geographies and ilstorles of tlio country. The "des ert" Is now blossoming ns the rose ind It will bo only a matter of time , t Is believed , until thcro will no onger bo sand hills In Nebraska , ami hey are few and far between In this section of the state oven now. Mr. Hcarn Is of the opinion that > rlglnally there was no sand In this mrt of the state , but that It was car ried over the clay that now forms the sub-soil by the action of the wind and water. CHANGE ROUTE ON ELECTRIC LINE Captain Talbot has Asked Commis sioners of Dakota County for Per mission to Change the Line. Dakota City , Nob. , Nov. 17. Capt. I. A. Talbot , representing the Sioux City , Homer and Southern Hallway company , which Is now constructing in electric railway from South Sioux ! Mty to Homer , apeared before the loard of county commissioners and asked them cancel the right of way along the public highway previously given , on what Is known as the Church oad , three miles west of this place which goes south to Homer and give a Ight of way along what Is known as the Meridian road , striking the bluffs it the Cap't. C. O'Connor place , and .hence along the bluffs to Homer. \ftor much discussion the change was granted , with the agreement that the company should put In a track uul run at least four trains daily from the point whore the road turns south m the Meridian line to the Salem church corner , The property owners uul residents along the Meridian road leld out many Haltering Inducements to have the road built along said route and It also puts the company in close proximity to the stone quarries , oil wells and coal Holds which Capt. Talbot bet has endeavored to develop the past few years. AN EXTREME CASE OF RED TAPE Governor Mickey Calls an Extraordi nary Session of Board of Purchase to Consider 25 Cent Investment. Lincoln , Nov. 19. Governor Mickey called an extra session of the state loard of purchase nnd supplies at the nstance of a young man who had a patent disinfectant to sell. The amount the young man thought the > oard would need was 25 cents worth. After duly considering the matter ipon motion of Mr. Mortcnscn the loard adjourned without making the purchase because there were only , hreo members present. It all happened this way. The young man went to the Homo of the friendless nnd there exhibited his dis- nfectant to the matron in charge. She was greatly Impressed with it , she said , but unfortunately , she had not the power to buy , as the state > oard did that. The young man , noth ing daunted , armed with the recom- menadtlon given him by the matron , promptly sallied forth to the govern or's office , where In a few minutes iho executive was also duly im pressed. Next was called the special meeting of the board with the result stated. ROY CARTER HAS A BOY. Son and Heir Arrived Last Night at Home of Former Norfolk Boy. Crelghton , Neb. , Nov. 19.

The Chicago , Mil waukco and St. Paul road has met the Great Western's rates on grain ship ments from Omaha "to Minneapolis The rates are 9 cents on wheat and S cents on coarse grain.

' ' General Superintendent's Office to be Removed. BE HERE IN WEEK OR TEN DAYS Offices Arc Being Fitted up for Him In the Headquarters Building at South Norfolk Increases Import ance of City ns Railroad Center. Omaha , Nov. 20. Special to The News : General Superintendent C. C. Hughes of the Nebraska and Wyo- ling division of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad announced ist evening that his office would be omoved to Norfolk within the next veok or ten days. Mr. Hughes said lint It was no longer a secret that his fllclal duties would bo conducted rom Norfolk InstcadNof from Omaha , ml that the fact wouiU bo published u Omaha today. This announcement vas made last evening at a dinner mrty , among these present being lanager Dundlck of the Norfolk Sugar factory , Geo. Mead of Omaha ml some other Omaha gentlemen. When the above dispatch was hewn to Superintendent Reynolds 10 admitted that Superintendent lughes Is to move his office to this Ity. Ho stated that the reason for his action Is principally found in the act that Norfolk Is more centrally lo- atcd than Omaha and that the bust- less of the general superintendent's office can bo more conveniently trnus- icted from bore. Norfolk Is more ac cessible to nil points of the line than Omaha nnd the change Is considered a good business move by the officers if the road. A suite of offices Is now being pro- tared for General Superintendent lughos In the headquarters building at South Norfolk. It is supposed that ho clerks now In his ofllco will come vlth him to this city. Among theses s Frank Roach , formerly of this place , who has held the position of chief clerk to the general suporinton- lent since he loft Norfolk. With the office of the general supor- ntcndont of the Chicago and North- vostorn located hero , Norfolk will ie very much more on the map than t has ever been before. Assuming hat nothing more than the location nduccs tlio company to transact Its nisiness from hero Instead of some ) thor city , it shows that Norfolk is considered an Important point by lie company. The fact that a now ino of the road has recently boon jponed up to the north , traversing one of the richest sections of the state , and having Norfolk for Its ermlniis , and that tlic main line Is icing constantly improved and put n better condition to handle the in creasing traffic which is coming down rom the Black Hills country and bo ng sent on cast , presupposes that Norfolk Is the logical headquarters 'or the transaction of tlio business of his great line of commerce. It vould not be at all surprising if other branches of the operating do- lartmont would in tlmo bo located lore. lore.Norfolk Norfolk will welcome General Su- icrlntcndent Hughes nnd what ho represents as another Important facer - or in the upbuilding of the city.

Several years ago while In prlvato ractlco , I thought It wrong to adver se , simply because I had been told o and had not had experience enough o know better. After a whllo I dls- overed u valuable plan of treatment n certain cases , and fortunately oh- lined n largo number of patients , aoiigh to fully test my plan ami irovo Us miccess. I thereupon pro- Hired a lengthy paper upon the mill ed and read It before the state mini- cul society. What was the result ? V half a do'/.on members took tlio oor to say what the treat moat had iceii for a hundred yearn back , and o claim that tlio old treatment , liough unsuccessful , should be con- Imied , notwithstanding that the new roatmenl had been mieresHful. I bought differently and continued to at1 the new method , and made re- uirknblo cures of cases that had icon pronounced Incurable. My bus- ness increased rapidly as each per- on that I cured told some friend , vim came In turn and was cured , ' .ucli pal lent advertised mo a little. Vhnt then ? In that largo city there voro not more than ' 100 cases of the vlml. I cured every case that came o mo and then had nothing to do \ccpt tlic ordinary business of a ocal physician. 1 know there wore innilrcds and thousands of others Isowhoro , who might bo cured If .hey only knew ; and I advertised. Cured hundreds of others and I have IvortlifMl ever since. I have re- ioved more suffering , cured more pa- .ients , made more people happy , and one more good generally because I lave told the people what I can do , nil I shall go on with the good work s long as my strength will permit. I advertise because I have some- hlng worth advertising. I have made lysell competent by years of spec- al study and experience , and by the , xpcndlturo of largo sums of money. Jy advertising I place before the poo- ilo the facts which enable them to now what I can do. I thereby rend1 lioiiKnnds , who , given up by local ihyslclans or unsuccossfuly treated , ; lvo tliemsoves up as Incurable. I uro them and thereby enlarge my leld of usefulness. Ily no other way .ban advertising could these people uivo Known that they could bo cured. Every thrifty and prosperous bus- ! loss In life , save those of law and ncdlclnc , advertise freely. Lawyers ; o not , for they only use In business vhat others have made for them ears before. They only do what has ) oen written. "Regular" doctors do lot advertise for the same reason , 'hoy have nothing new , nothing vhlch someone else has not written > r told them of , they get their know- edge from the books. A man may cad medicine until ho Is blind and hen Know nothing of it. To bo suc cessful ho must apply his own mind. Make his own lesearches , and to do hat lie must have room and oppor tunity Ho must have cases , bun- Ireds of them , and compare results , f he docs not do this ho Is a ma chine without novelty , skill or in genuity , still plowing with a wooden ) low , still traveling on foot or horse- mck , and Ignoring the advantages of steam , living but not learning. The same is true of a lady doctor. Hclow you will find published the names and addresses of some of the recent cures that I have made. These people's afflictions were , under the ordinary physician's care , considered hopeless , and no prospects for a cure : Mrs. Kate Sclmll of Albion , Neb. , cured of catarrh of head and stomach. Mrs. William Xuerg of Uluo Vale , Nob. , cured of nervous heart and female disease. Mrs. .1. K. Connelloy of Akron , Nob. , cured of cancer of long stand ing Mrs. Augusta Soydon of Ponder , Nob. , cured of nervous llvor and stomach disease. Mrs HIlu. Scochman of Wayne , Neb. , cured of rheumatism , female disease and skin disease. John Harper of Columbus , Neb. , cured of heart disease , stomach and liver disease. Kmma Stalke of Clarks , Nob. , cured of skin disease , heart trouble and dropsy. Write Thlc Down in the book of memory : there Is no such thing as a harmless cough. Ev ery cough is a warning of a confidence that goes from had to worse unless It Is remedied right away. Opium-laden medicine Is a delusion. Allen's Lung Balsam cures the worst of colds.
