Omaha See :
SIRS The Waverly Novels awarded
me as a premium were received ingoce
shape. I am well pleased with them.
They make a beautiful addition to my
little library. I would have been satis
fied witthout any premiumfor I consid
er THE BEE one of the best newspa
pers printed in the State. I like the
type and admire the anti-monopoly
principles , and think if all the papers
in the state would advocate the same
principles the people would be awaken
ed to a sense of their misery and try to
do something. The present ruinous
rates of freight can only be changed by
legislation ; but so long as we elect as
our represesentatives lawyers , doctors ,
clerks and loafers , who d"o not ship 2C
pounds of freight in as many years ,
how can we expect anv change. * *

FLORENCE , Neb. , March 13 , 'So
Mr. Editor :
DEAR SIR I received the set of
Dickens' Works awarded me from your
distribution of premiums , and was
somewhat surprised when I saw them"
they were so much better than I expec
ted I think that the distribution was
conducted in an honest manner. I am
not speaking this wa- because I was
lucky enough to draw one of the large
premiums , but from the manner ir
which all the premiums were distributee
throughout the country. And again ,
if it had not been conducted in :
straightforward manner , it would have
had a great tendency in destroying the
future prosperity of THE BEE. * * *
I would like to say more in favor o
your paper , but must conclude with ex
pressing my best wishes for the success
of your paper and yourselves.
Respectfully ,
JOHN COMBS.
