MADISON COUNTY IS HONORED Dr. Long Has Been a Practitioner in This County for Nearly a Quarter of a Century and Stands High In His Profession. The board of councillors of the No- hruskn State Medical association bold a speclnl meeting In Lincoln Tuesday afternoon at the olllco of the secretary , Dr. A. D. Wilkinson. The principal business for which the mooting wns called was that of determining upon a successor to President Dr. J. L. Greene , who recently removed from the state. Dr. P. A. Long of Madison was se lected by the board. The board also recommended unanimously that during the absence of Dr. Wilkinson from the stnte this winter the Incoming presi dent should appoint Dr. II. WInnetl Orr to be acting secretnry. Those present nt the meeting wore : Dr. Wilkinson of Lincoln , Dr. J. P. Ixird of Omnha , Dr. A. B. Anderson of Pawnee , Dr. L. W. Shaw of Osccola , Dr. W. R. Young of Ansley , Dr. P. H. Salter of Norfolk. This Is the first time in the history of the state medical organization that the presidency has been held In this part of the stnte. In fact only three or four physicians in the north Pintle country nnd outside of Omaha have had the honor of presiding over the state medical association. Dr. F. A. I-iong wns born In North ampton county , Pa. , In 1859 , came west in early manhood , graduated from Iho medical department of the Iowa State university in 1SS2 and soon after lo cated In Mndlson and has practiced there continuously ever since. Dr. Uing is essentially a self mndoj nan , having worked his way through ollego , nnd struggled through ninny Hardships as a young physician , In his efforts to gain a foothold , twenty and more > ears ago. By persistent and strict attention to business he has ac quired n medical nnd surgical prac tice snob ns It fnlls to the lot of few "country doctors" to enjoy. Dr. Long wns one of the organizers of the Elk-horn Valley Medical society nnd bns for some years been its sec retary. Ho has also been native in state medical society matters for the past fifteen years , and this activity won him the present honor , which , however , came to him wholly unsought and unexpected. Dr. P. H. Sailor , councillor for this district , wns present nt the meeting and had much to do with the election of Dr. Long. Life Insurance.

Herrlck of Des Molncs , sewer builder , for the be ginning of work on the construct Ion of Norfolk's now sowar , but Mr. Her rlck has not yet put In an appearance to begin work. Labor dllllculllcs and a scarcity of men Is assigned by some1 of the city olllclals hero as Iho prob- ahlo cause , though not a word IIUH been hoard from Mr. Horrlck. The contract specifically provides thai work shall begin nol Inter than the llrsl day of September and that the sewer shall be finished not later than the fifteenth of December. II Is said Unit men are a scarce ar ticle all over the country , nnd thai this la Iho probable cause for Iho de lay. lay.Tho The contract provides thai , In case provisions nro not carried out , the contract may bo re-let by the city council , but It IR not considered prob able thai this action will result. Bonds Were Not Bought. Yesterday was the lasl day allowed for bids on Ibo $10,000 sewer bonds bill nobody wanted to take them at four percent Interest , and a puzzle has resulted. Mr. Horrlck , the contractor , bus agreed to take the bonds up to the amount of his contract , which will bo somewhere In the neighborhood of $ ! ! 5,000 though It depends upon the nature of things after the work Is en tered Into but just whal to do with the rcsl of Iho bonds is Iho problem lhal Is now perplexing Ihe clly author- llles. The flooding of Iho country with bonds because of San Francisco's dls- nslor Is hold responsible for the lack of a bid. It Is contrar > lo law lo of fer them at a premium , so that no one seems lo offer a solution out of the quandary. FRIDAY FACTS. A. A.

Fertile Sections of the Southwest , Where Land Sells for $15 and Rents for $5 Per Aero. One of the remarkable things about eastern Arkansas nnd northern Louis iana Is the fact that cleared land rents for $5 per acre cash , and can be bought for $7.50 to $1G per acre. It costs from $ G to $10 an acre to clear It. Other Improvements necessary are slight and inexpensive. The soil is rich alluvial , or made. It produces a bale of cotton per acre , worth $45 to $ CO. This accounts for Its high rental value. Other crops , such ns corn , small grains , grasses , vegetables and fruits thrive ns well. Alfalfa yields 4 to C cuttings , a ton to a cutting , and brings $10 to $1G per ton. ton.In In other sections of these states , and In Texas as well , the rolling or hill-land is especially adapted to stock raising and fruit fanning. Land Is very cheap , $5 to $10 per aero ; Im proved farms $10 $15 to $25 per acre. The new White river country offers many opportunities for settlers. High , rolling , fine water It Is naturally adapted to stock nnd fruit raising. Can be bought as low as $3 per acre. See this great country for yourself and pick out a location.
