The forenoon's program consisted ohlelly
of addresses of welcome bv prominent Nu-
braskuus and responses by loading members
from tfo several parts of tlio union. The
Ilrst welcome extended was by Governor
Boytt on behalf of the state at large. After
a tribute to ugtloulturo In general and the
farmero of America in particular the gov
ernor said :
"And I may soy to you , that whllo No-
braslcu is yet a young state , with thousands
of acres of soil still uubroUon and unturned
by man , Its magnitude. Its productive
capacity , Its marvelous resource ) , nro beyond
the appreciation of oven those who people its
vast expanse. U'itlitn the boundaries of
this state there are 13.733,400 acres , of which
111 , 000,000 acres ynt remain unimproved ; and
of this vast area 11,000,000 still belong to the
public domain and are yet accessible to those
who desire to avail themselves of the nation's
bounty. The raluo of the land under culti
vation , at the low estimate of $15 per acre , is
$210,000,000 ; whllo the land uncultivated , at
the low estimate of $3 per sere , approximates
1100,000,000.
' 'But the studyIng
greatest surprise comes in -
Ing the magnitude of Us 1 ft nn products , lu
the year 1SUI the ( armors of Nebraska raised
2lr .B95lKW bushels of corn , the value of which
approximated &iO.OOO,000. lu Ih'.lL only throe
states ; oxcccdod this. In the tnmo year they
rained 10f > 71O.VJ bushels of wheat , valued at
JO.000,000 ; i,83G10 : ! ! bushels of oats , valued
ut $11,000,000 , and of rye , barlo.v , potatoes
mid hay , a property whoso value was $10-
000,000. In all , gentlemen , snowing a total
value of farm output amounting to $77,01)0- )
000.
000."Tho
"Tho Department of Agriculture , for the
year 1S01 , furnishes the following ilgurou , in
round number * , regarding the value ot our
farm animals : Horses and mulcts , ? IUOJO-
000 ; oalllo , $57,000,000 ; hogs , $ KI.OOOOJO ;
nhoep , $700,000 ; a total of over S'JJ.000,000 ' .
Those might bo regarded as stupendous
results for almost any state , but especially
BO for Nontajkn , when It Is recalled that loss
than one-third of Its territory < s undot
cultivation , and but a short spell age
it was comparatively unknown. Aud fortUcsc
reasons I do not wish you to consider mi
vain when I sav to ycu representatives o
other vas-t und fertile empires of land , Urn
our beloved state claims an equal honor wltl
your owu to a share in the natlon'a splcndh

The procoo.llngi of tbo nfternoon session
dragged palnfuilyon account of n lengthy
discussion over the manner in which the
credentials of the delegates from the differ
ent states should 03 rocognl/.od.
I ) . P. Stubb ) of low.i moved that the call

Secretary Clayton stated that It had been
the general custom that thu list of delegates
as reported bv tbo governors of the state * bo

guUto the congress.
Mr. Stubb3 Insisted on his motion and
after It Inul boon put tbo chair doalurcd It
uirrlcd. The call of the states was then
commenced. As it proceeded the delegates
began ti > see that It was lllioly to ptovo a
tcdmus affair.
W. Popu Yonman ot Missouri interposed
a vigorous objoctloii at this paint and moved
u suspension of the call. I'lio mutton was
carried.

On motion of Stahl of Illinois the chair
was directed to appoint u committee of six to
consider applications for tno location of the
next annual session of the congress.
W. Pope Ycaman of Missouri was then
introduced , I'ho following is a orief synop
sis of his eloquent address :
'Tho thorau , as assigned to mo , " said the
speaker. "Is 'Intordopcndonco of Agriculture
and Transportation. ' This is a universal liw
of nature. U'lio factors of motion , energy ,
force and power are so correlated that there
Is between thorn a mutual dependence ,
human r.oeloty exists bv operations ot the
same law. Ono vocation is largely dependent
upon another. The prosperity of ono Is a con
tribution to the success of others. The city
is dependent upon the country and the coun
try , in u measure , upon the city. Whether
social progress bn bv evolution , through
BOlf-ai'tlng forces of inherent energy or by
artlllolal agencies , tbo truth remains the
same that progress la any ono line dooonds
upon advancement in some ono or more of
other actual und os3ontic.i factors of progres
sive rorco. "
Colonel Yeaman then entered upon a dis
cussion of the importance of agriculture ,
after which ho said : "It would seem that

ington railroads to proceed with the recon
struction of tbo Sixteenth street viaduct.

What is' ' wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This " is why we
want pure"- " soap ; and ,
when we say pure , we
mean without alkali.
Pears' is pure ; no al
kali in it ; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap ; this one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting

not scale , chip , chalk , or rub
off ; it firmly adheres" to the
wood and forms a permanent
base for repainting- . Paints
which peel or scale have to be
removed by scraping : or burn
ing before satisfactory re
painting' can be done.
In buying- white lead it is im
portant to obtain that which is
genuine , strictly pure , and
properly made. Time has
proven that white lead made
by the "Old Dutch" process
of slow corrosion possesses
qualities that cannot be "ob
tained by any oilier method of
manufacture. This process
consumes four to six months
time , and produces the brands
that have given White Lead
its character as the standard
paint.
"SOUTHERN"

"RED SEAL"
are standard brands of strictly
pure Lead made by the " Old
Dutch" process. You get the
best in buying them.

that may save you many a dollar ; U will
