" 1IOIMK VISITOIIS" A NEWISXCUKSION.
Two "homo visitors' " days have been
announced by the Barlingtou good
from all over Nebraska to points in
Iowa , Missouri , Illinois , Wisconsin and
Minnesota , on which the regular "homo-
seekers' " rates of one fare plus $2 for
the round trip will be good. The tickets
will bo good for thirty days.
"I have announced these rates that
the people of Nebraska , many of whom
came from those states , will be encour
aged to go back to their homos on a visit
this fall , " said John Francis , general
passenger agent of the Burlington , when
asked to explain the difference between
homeseekers" and homevisitors' excur
sions. "Most of these people came out
here a few years ago , and have done
pretty well. Now , if they go back to
their old homes this fall with good
clothes on their backs and plenty of
money in their pockets , as most of the
Nebraska farmers can do , and tell their
stories of the big crops raised in Ne
braska , it will result in their inducing
thousands of friends and relatives to
coino to this state and locate.
"The dates are September 10 and 2G ,
the tickets being good for thirty days.
On the two following days , September
11 and 27 , the roads in Illinois will make
low rates to points further on east , so
that people desiring to go to Indiana ,
Ohio or other states further east can
avail themselves of low rates all of the
way through. I want to toll you that
this is one of the biggest movements
ever inaugurated to bring people to this
state. " Omaha World Herald.

The international complications in
Ohiua are arousing a great interest in
historical literature.
One can hardly read intelligently the
daily papers without some general
knowledge of history. One needs to
have a bid's eye view of all the nations
of the world. It is impossible to
thoroughly understand United States
history without some knowledge of the
history of other countries.
The "Library of Universal History"
now being sold by the history depart
ment of the Chicago Record , is the most
complete universal history published and
the beauty of it is , it is so very readable.
It is divided into essays. Several essays
pertaining to each country , but each
essay a unit , complete in itself. Each
one is beautifully illustrated. In fact
there are some twelve hundred illustra
tions , many taken from the greatest
galleries of Europe and America. The
art features alone cost over $15,000 to
produce. They alone , the art features ,
are really worth all of the small price
which the Record is asking for the
twelve large volumes. These superb
illustrations toll the story of the world
bringing to the nikid through the me
dium of the eye all the chief events of
history. They give a tone to the life
and home of any one.
Its two hundred maps constitute a
valuable atlas. It is said to bo one of
the best mapped works in the world.
Its chronological charts acquaint us
with all the different rulers of every
country in the world. Its indexes sys
tematise the contents of the entire work
and render any particular fact easily
accessible , make of it a great encyclo-
pjodia of historical fact , as well as a
work to bo read.
It has done a great good by making
history readable , not dry reading. It is
really a most fascinating story of the
world's progress. It is a pinnacle from
which one gets a most magnificent bird's
eye view of the world and can witness
with rapt attention the march of hu
man progress vastly different , this ,
from mere chronological narration , and
the authorship is the very best. Clare ,
the historian , is the editor in-chief , but
it is not a ouo-mau work. Special sub
jects have been treated by special
writers. Roosevelt gives a special arti
cle on recent history , our late trouble
with Spain. Lee tells us of Cuba's
struggle with Spain. Benjamin Ide
Wheeler's article on the Eastern ques
tion is of great historical interest and
value. Moses Coit Tyler's article on the
educational value of the study of history
is a most inspiring thing.
The Record's price is within the reach
of all , for the total price for the twelve
large volumes is not only low but for
those who do not care to pay cash , an
easy payment plan has been arranged
whereby Record subscribers may have
the use of the work and have over one
year's time in which to pay for it. Full
particulars , together with sample pages
of the work , can bo secured by address
