tlmo whloh portends a largo trutlle for

with a good business in thiH lino An

twoon thlrty llvo and forty enrs of im
migrant goods now in transit over his

eastern part of tho Htato in and around
Hartlmrton This Is a portion of tho
state whloh Iuih not boon developed as

The movomont or settlors into this
locality eomos from eastern states and
It is nald most of thorn come prepared to

past but now sook homos of thoir own
Tho character of tho homosookors Is re

ThoElkhorn reports n slightly in
creased tralllo in this business fJr this
tlmo of your most of which goes to
points on that lino in tho northern part
of tho state but tho passenger depart
ment is receiving inquiries almost every

Elkhoru territory which leads tho
ofllcors of this rond to believe thoy will
havo a good business in this lino too

A SonnTof tho rullroiGl uiou go so far us
to predict that immigration this year
will bo larger than for any year sluco

TlioOmaha Boo speaks ot ono of Ne
braskas groat crops us follows
haps thoro aro not a great many people
who kuow that tho hay crop of tho Unit
ed Stutos is the hourco of moro wealth
than tho coal Iron or gold mines lum
bor or auy manufacturing industry aud
that it is more valuable than tho wheat
or any other crop save that of corn
Whilo tho wheat crop of last yoar was
worth in round numbers about throo
hundred and ninety two millions tho
hay grown iu tho country amounted to
noarly four huudred millions of dollars
and formod ono of tho chief objects of
oxport Owing to tho fact that it cauuot
bo successfully grown in tropical coun
tries wo havo a constantly enlarging
inarkot for it iu South America and else
where in the tropicus that bids fair to in
crease its production especially west of
tho Mississippi where tho finest vari
eties aro grown
Perhaps thoro is no ono impression
moro erroneous aud at tho sumo timo
moro commonly prevalent than that
when pooplo havo boon vory kind in a
case of sickioss or death it is duo thorn
to rush into print at tho earliest possible
moment with a statement thanking thorn
for what they havo done It is truo
that at suoh a timo when tho shadows
gather about life that there is a peculiar
sensitiveness to and appreciation of hu
man assistance But such aid in such
stress is due to everyouo and it is only
tho call of a common humanity that is
mot when it is giveu It is needless to
toll people especially iu a public way
that they aro thaukod Surely that
inau or woman whom frionds help in
the time of trouble or atlllctiou would be
cold hearted iudoed who did not feel
grateful No ono does kindly deeds at
such a time with any other motive than
tho knowledge that thoy aro needed aud
it is thoir privilege and duty to do them
If people would only reflect over this
matter they would rocognizo that the
card of thanks is uncalled for It
should among an intelligent poople be
allowed to fall iu iuoouous desuetude
