The Interslnte Land association , with dele

QBTTINO DOWN TO BUSINESS.
John Francis , general passenger agent of
the U. & M. , calcd the convention to order ,
In his opening remarks he stated that he
felt. In common with the people of Ne
braska , that there was never a more favora
ble time than the present to Induce Immi
gration to this state. Ho believed that a
meeting of the real estate agents of Ne
braska with their brethren of the great
middle states would serve to promote com
mon Interests. The convention , ho said ,
would bo entirely Informal. No attempt
had been made to prepare an elaborate program
that the men who had
gram for the reason
arranged for the gathering felt that an
Informal meeting would Induce many ot
the visitors to participate In the discussion
who otherwise would keep silent. lie ex
pressed the hope that the two days con
vention would bo productive of much good.
Mr Francis then Introduced J. II. Dumont ,
club who delivered
president of the Commercial ,
livered a brief address , expressing In a lew
sentences Omaha's welcome to the
happy
visitors , not only from Nebraska , but from
Iowa Illinois and Indiana.
Mr , nurocnt extended the freedom of th
city to the vlsltora. He then sketched brlefl }
the rwulii of the drouth two and three yean
affecting the prosperity of the state
, c
ago and writers o
shoving how the newspapers
advantage of i
the casters states had taken
misfortune to malign and m srep
temporary Nebraska. As a result of the mlsrep. .
refutations of eastern writers Nebraska.1
Interest nnd credit had unquwtlonablj
suffered. IK- hoped that the present mcctlnf
would eio much to dispel the false Impres
sions which had been created.
Mr Dumont rapidly glanced at ho re
sources of the state. He pointed first to thi
great agricultural Industry , which had al
ready placed Nebraska In the front rani
states. Speaking oi
ot the great producing
the beet sugar Industry he explained the ad
vantages offered by the state and referred te
the progress already made in beet ralslw
and sugar manufacturing. He also explolnci
the advantages offered for the culture am
manufacture- chicory. The great industr ;
of cattle raising came In ror a good won
and In this connection the rapid growth o
the South Omaha stock yards and packlnf
ludUQtrlcs connected therewith was Qls
cussed. Ho spoke of the educational Inter
ests of the state , gave the Traiismlsslsslpp
Exposition a good advertisement and closei
with a neat tribute to the enterprise of tin
Burlington system , which , he said , wai
- ' of tin
doing so much for the-'devclopment
WfKt. Ho also called the attenllon ot thi
visitors to the new depot now being erectei
by the rlur'llngton , saying that that compan ;
was the only ono that elver nail the grit ti
erect n. modern depot , largo enough for Hi
own needs and for the accommodation .o
all roads running Into Omaha If they de
sired to use It.
JUDGE KNOX RESPONDS.
Judge S. M. Knox of Princeton , preslden
of the Interstate Land association , wa
greeted with a round of applause as ho cam
forward to respond to tlio address of wel
come. Ho said the association of which h
was the president had a great admiration fo
the city of Omaha and for the cnteiprise
grit , push , pluck and perseverance of it
citizens. Ho said also that the members c
the asboclatlon had unbounded confidence i\ \
the resourci-a. the credit , the advantages am
the future of the state of Nebraska. The ;
knew that no state lu the union bad a bettc
soil or a better climate than were found li
Nebraska. The state had been peopled will
the farmers , mechanics and business men o
the middle states. The tide of Immlgratloi
was steadily westward. The tendency o
modern population was to concentrate In th
cities. The present rate gave the cities 4
per cent ot the population of the countrj
The proportion should bo but 25 per cent o
Iho whole. The problem ot the day was t
bring the surplus population from the cltio
of the east to the cheaplanela ot the west
That problem would be taken up and a solu
tlon sought for at the piesent session ot th
real estate men.
O M. Hltchcoclc of the World-Herald wa
then Introduced. Ilo thought there wa :
much to study In the ebb nnd How of euilgra
tlon. Ho did not bollevo emigration was tin
result of more chance. On the contrary , hi
thought the great underlying motlvp of eml
gratlon was discontent. In proof he polntei
to the fact that the lido ot emigration alwayi
reached Its Ivlghcst ebb In the years Im
mediately following great panics and period
of extreme business depression. The de
volophient of the great west , ho thought , wai
the direct result of the great panic of 18.3 .
Ho also believed that the panic of 1803 wouh
have a similar result , and that the west wa
on the cvo of one of tlio greatest eran o
development In Its history.

was that the storlw of tlio depression In Nc
braskn had been greatly exaggerated nm
that the condition of the state Itself wm
the best answer to misrepresentations , II <
said he was not surprised to hear his frleni
who had Immediately preceded him _ apli
bring up the old "crime of ' 73. " to which h
had been accustomed to have all th
woe * of the country attributed. lu )
ho was glad to note that th
speaker had at last discovered somethlni
In that much-talked-of "crime" to com
mend and to hear him admit that eom
of 1873. Mr
good grow out of the panic
Kosowiitcr stated that the people who al
ready live in Nebraska had unbounded con
flilcnce , not only In the resources and ad
vantages ot the state , but In Us future. II
thought a trip of Inspection over the slat
woubl convince the visitors that Nebraska'
future waa based- upon uo uncertainty
Speaking of the intimate relations betweei
thn newspapers and tha development of -
ststo and a city , ho said that It wati in
part the province ot a newspaper to nesls
In speculative development , He thought i
neuHpaper nhould at all times stand ou
against any tendency to boom a state fo
mem speculative purposes , and to encourag
In every way possible every legitimate ) en
terprlne that promised to add to the wealtl
Of a stain and to lurnUu an houcat busl
for Increased population. Speaking of tli
city of Omaha , ho said that If the visitor
would look about the city during their eta ;
they would ba convinced that bore was i
firm and legitimate foundation lot a mac
iilflcciil and prosperouei future.
This completed the preliminary program o
Introductory addresses. Mr. Francis stated
before Introducing the next speaker , tba
In addition to being a railroad man , bo hai
himself become something of n farmer. Hi
rativd a hearty laugh by saying that In
probably knew inoru theories about farmlnj
than any practical farmer lu the countr ;
could put In application , Ho had beconv
greatly Interested lu a new method of soli
culture and the I ) . & M. had taken up tin
work of educating Ihe farmers of the wcs
lu tbo new niothod. Ills company lm <
undertaken the cxpcntra of catablluhlni
forty-five oxpcrmenUI farms In Kansas , Ne
bruska and the two Dakolas. He lutroJucec
H.V. . CnmpbflH , who had been employed b !
thn It , & M. to superintend the experiments
( arms. Mr , Campbell explained at length tin
new system of soil culture. In brief th (
new a\ntem Is as follows : The soil Is flrsl
plowed In the ordinary manner. A psekct
Is then run over the ground , by the use ol
which the soil wao closely packed benrntli
the surface , leaving about three Inches ol
loose pulverized soil on top. Corn Is
planted the usual way and cultivated only
to a depth of thrco Inches , thus permitting
the strong roots to grow deeper. Small
grains urn drilled In rows twenty Inches
apart Instead of being sown broadcast , and
arc cultivated.
The illscus.'lcn drew out the facts that oni
man could cnMly farm sixty acres tinder thi
new system , that the yield was nearly double
as compared with the old system , Hut the
machinery cost no more than the old style
Implements nnd that the new system tire
vented the destruction of crops by hot wlnils
At noan the convention adjourned null
1:30 : o'clock.
EASTERN DELEGATES ASK QUUSTION3
It waa not until 3 o'clock In the afternoon
that the convention got down to work. Mr ,
Campbell , the soil culture expert , wau again
present and continued the discussion of the
new method. In a brief statement ho polntei !
oul the fact that the new method required
Icsrt seed per acre. Ho answered many
questions put to him by the delegates fron
the eastern elates , where the now method 'J
not so well understood. He cloacd his dls-
cutfllon of the subject by making the some
what startling prediction that Nebraska was
destined to become the greatest cereal pro
ducing state of the great middle west for Hie
reason that It had less rain ,
JniniH N. Claike , president ot the Nebraska
Loan and Trust company at Healings , Neb. ,
next spoke on "The Advantages of Immigra
tion from o Western Standpoint. " He salil
that the history of the past few years had
demonstrated the wonderful recuperative
powem of Nebraska under great disadvan
tages. The state was tlio stronger today from
Its experience of the laot four years. The
ono Important problem to eolve was" , how tfl
convince the homcscckcrs from the cast ol
the advantage1) of Nebraska. The plain truth
should In all cases be told ; but even the
truth about Nebraska sounded like exagger
ation to eastern ears. Hit thought that l\\a
facts should be prominently set forth to the
people of the cast : first , the opportunities of
fered by Nebraska for the attainment ol
health ; and , second , for the acquirement ol
wealth. The two , ho said , ran along parallel
lines. The climate offered every advantage
to tfie man , the health of whose family Is af
fected by his eastern environments. As to tin
acquirement ot wealth , he said that the same
Industry and frugality practiced in the cnal
would make men rich In Nebraska without
question. Nebraska was the only state In
the union where a capable farmer could from
a single crop pay for at least half of hla farm ,
If prices are only fairly good. He said a
great deal also depended upon the people ol
Nebraska. The question of taxation was an
Important ono and with It went the question
of the credit of the state. In order that both
could bo solved It would be necessary to clecl
honest men to ofllce , men who Instead ol
Healing public funds would use them to pay
off the atatc'a indebtedness. Men sent to
congress should be broad minded rcprescnta <
live men. The credit of the state should bo
upheld. With the honor and credit of the
state maintained and the truth told ot 1U
soil and Its climate , the Immigration ) to > Ne
braska would largely Increase the populatlor
In the Immediate future.
REAL. ESTATE MEN CAUTIONED.
Assistant Land Commissioner Ernest of tha
D. & M. company gave a practical talk. He
believed In advertising the state ; but he
cautioned the real estate men not to lay
too much stress on the new system of eoll
culture , Irrigation , etc. Ho said Nebraska
was one of the greatest Agricultural ntutes
ot the union , even with the old fashioned
styles of farming anil , while the new Ideas
were all well enough , It they were pushed
too prominently the Impression would be
created that t-peclal forms of cultivation were
absolutely necessary.
P. S. Eustls , general passenger agent ol
the Chicago , Hurllngton & Qtilncy , woke ur
the delegates In a spirited talk In which he
Indulged in a great deal of good natureil
criticism over the shiftless methods ot some
real estate men , both In Nebraska and Il
linois. Ho then told of the plans formu
lated by the ( Burlington for advertising Ne
braska this year. At least fifty exhibits ol
Nebraska products would be arranged and
sent to state nnd county fairs In Iho east.
A largo number of men from the middle
cast would be brought out to uco the state
when the crops were ripening. Several mil
lion papers and pamphlets would bo scnl
where they would do the most good. The
balance of the work rested entirely In the
hands of the real estate men themselves.
H. U. Randall , the old tlmo real estate
agent of Nebraska , next gave a rousing talli
and awakened considerable enthusiasm. He
said what Nebraska warned more than any
thing eleo was witnesses men who would
comu hero front the east , see the state as it
really Is , and go homo and tell their friends
and neighbors what they have seen.
B. F. Ferguson of Rensaelaer , 111. , was
the last speaker of the afternpon. He said
that something more was necessary than tc
merely sing the praises of Nebraska's health
ful cllmato and productive soil. Perslstenl
work in ono direction and along a single
line. The croakers who unfortunately Infesl
every community should bo crowded intc
the background so far as possible by the
truth told about the state. Ho agreed with
the former speakers in thinking that Ne
braska was Just entering a remarkable period
of development.
The convention then adjourned until J
o'clock. The balance of the afternoon was
given up by the delegates to a private Inter
change of vlotto. ' Real estata men. from the
east took advantage ot the- opportunity tc
introduce themselves to the Nebraska men
and there was an active Interchange of views
until tbo supper hour approached.
EXPERIENCE MEETING.
Last night n batch of the delegates licit
a sort of "experience meeting" for the benefit
fit of the Ncbraskans , who were Invited tc
tell what they could of the advantages am
the beauties of the Nebraska farms. A coir
slderahln number of delegates assembled It

J. I ) . Piper of this city spoke highly o
Nebraska farming lands which are now sup
posed to bo only fairly good. Ho stated tha
the soil In Buffalo , Greerey , Ouster and othei
counties was a trifle Bandy , but that It ha ;
been found that this fort of earth Is tin
best for sugar beets and chicory , which < Mr
Piper said would furnish Nebraska's grcates
crops In tlmo .to comeHe also put in i
good word for the Transmlsslsslppl Exposl

J. n , Hillings of Alma , o resident for twenty
five years of Hartan county , highly praleed hi
countHo said almost all the soil wai

eight or ten miles of a railroad. They soli

MOUNT 1MSGAII 1IAI-TIST CHURCH
Investment Coiniinny TnU > POHXOH-
Hlnii for An-eiir * In Heiit.
The Mount PIsgah Baptist church , which
has for many years housed a colored congre
gation at the corner ot Twelfth and Jack
son streets , Is no more. Yesterday a notice
was. posted on the door to the effect that the
Garncau Investment company , through He
local agents , the Oaiaha. Loan and Trusl
company , had/ / taken possession of the prem-
Isca for non-payment of rent. The church
has been the scene of many a hotly con
tested battle , when ' 'razabs" hurtled through
the air , and chairs weio used for skull
breakers. The church is a little old weather
beaten edifice , perched high up on a clay
embankment. Around about it Is a brick wall
fast tptterlng to 'decay which has kept the
structure from pitching headlong Into the
street. It was In thli church that a buxom
colored lassie startled the congregation , jinc
bright Sunday morning , by walking up "the
aisle anil depositing a lusty Infant upon the
pulpit , declaring that it was the unlawful
offspring of the * minister , who but a few
minutes before had been preaching of the
wrath to come. This was the "Rev. " Hoff
man. Ho has elnce departed for other Melds.
For about a month past Rov. January has
attempted to straighten out the tangle which
the congregation appears to be constantly get
ting Into but with poor success. About hall
the congregation were against January's
methods , while the rest Insisted that ho was
all right. H has therefore frequently hap
pened that the Insurgents secured a preacher
ot their own , and tbo unusual spectacle ol
two preachers expounding holy doctrine at
tbo same tlmo has been frequently witnessed ,
Tuesday night war broke out again and n
number of the negroes culled at police head
quarters and asked that a detail of police be
sent to the place to help out with the serv
ices. They were tersely 'Informed ' by Cap
tain Haze that ho would accommodate the
entire outfit with a ride In the patrol wagon ,
but that otherwise bowas not religiously In
clined upon that particular occasion. The
trouble continued , however , and the meotlnn
at length broke up In a fight. The Icadorc
of the fracas , William Jordan and his wife ,
Gazzlo , wore run 4n and the rest made them
selves scarce.

Every mother of a crowing girl ought
to anticipate the earliest indications of
approaching womanhood and take every
percaution to insure health and sound

The following Is a letter wo received a
short time ago from Mrs. M. C. Hlnklcy , 002
North Mississippi St. , Indianapolis , Ind. :
Gentlemen While suffering Intensely from
plies , I became Interested In your advertisement -
mont In ono of our dally papers and pro
cured a package of your Pyramid Pile Cure
from our druggist. Contrary to my expecta
tions , the relief waa Instantaneous. I used
two boxes of the Pile Core and ono of the
Pills , and am convinced that they are the
only sure cure for piles on the market , I
have been a sufferer from piles for fifteen
yearn , and have been confined to my bed
about one-halt of the time , expecting and
wishing for death , for the pain was so great.
I went to the college hero and the doctors
said my case was a now ono to them , the
great pain having brought on a largo rup
ture , which they wanted $700.00 to cut out.
I was very much afraid that death would
result from the blood-poisoning , which they
said would result from the operation. I feel
as though I can't praise- the Pyramid Plla
Cure and the Pyramid Pills too highly , as I
am convinced that they saved my life. Be
fore using your cure I weighed only ninety
pounds , and now I weigh 150 and feel as
well as I ever did In my life. You are at
liberty to use this testimonial In any manner
you may sco fit , as I want all sufferers from
this terrible disease to know that there lian
at last bcc compounded a remedy that will
euro piles. MRS. M. C. HINKLEY.
There Is no need of the danger , pain and
expense of a surgical operation for any form
ot piles. The Pyramid Pile Cure does the
work without pain and Is the safest and best.
Remember also that the Pyramid Pllla arc
a certain cure for constipation , acting with
out griping and restoring natural action to
the bowels.
The Pyramid Pllo Cure Is sold by drug
gists at COc and $1.00 , and the Pyramid Pills
at 25c , or by mall from Pyramid Co. , Albion ,
Mich.
