LINCOLN, April 9. (Special.) "The
lime has passed for displaying sod houses,
dugouts, tepcta, wild-west shows ad hluu
bhlrta as representative of Nebraska," said i
L. I.. Vance, commissioner to the Tan- j
American exposition, when Uc9tloiicd today I
concerning Jim plant for the stules ex
hibit, "Wo want something up to dale,
modern und characteristic of the state as
u is, noi as ii wai twcniy-iive years ago. ,
ir. unr.c is mailing u oriel visit in mi
city preparatory to a trip to Iluffalo to
look over the exposition grounds and asecr- i
lain what accommodations will be offered j
for tho stale exhibit. Ho said he had not
decided dcltiiltely on any plans and would
not until after n roiifoivtitc with repre
sentative of tho Agricultural, llortlcul
tural ami other Interested societies. Ho
will call thcte men together after he re
turns from his eastern trip.
"1 do not anticipate any trouble In mak
ing a pood, creditable showing with the
ii pproprlatlon allowed by tho legislature,"
fald he. "A few western state marln lnieer
iippioptiatlons, but I am not complulnlng I
on that ecore. Missouri appropriated $30,-
000, but I don't think Kansas or any of
tho surrounding states that arc considered !
In our class, with the possible exception of
Iokp, exceeded the amount allowed by our I
legislature and several of them did not '
equal It. j
"I have a general plan outlined, but of
course It may be necessary to change It .
somewhat to meet conditions and elrcuin-
rtanccs. My idea Is to have an exhibit that
will show first of nil tho wonderful agricul
tural resources of tho state. Wo should
next make prominent the horticultural ad
vantages. Sivi-lnl Attention to Hilucntlnu.
'The educatlonnl Interest!) of tho state
will not bu forgotten, in fact It Is our In
tention to inakti a special effort to get up
an exhibit In this lino that will eclipse
former efforts. I have mnde no plans re
garding tho Interests of the swlno breedors,
cattlemen or the dairymen, but I feel safe
In saying thai they, too, will be well rep- i
rftcntcd. ekpeelnlly tho cattlemen." !
When nsked If ho would propose putting
up a state bulldirs Mr. Vnnco said: "My
opinion Is that space for exhibits such as
ours will bo furnished frco by the exposi
tion authorities. If that Is the casu and
wr can gtdcslrable apace, well located, It
may not bo necessary to erect any kind of
n structuro. Uut If ;o do put up a build
ing It will be on good, common-sense plans
unit not a freak or n curiosity,
"As to tho employes or attendants for
the state's exhibit, you may say," continued
Mr. Vtinee, "that no appointments will be
made until nftcr I havo returned from
Buffalo nnd consulted with representatives
of the various, interested societies. Uut
one thing is nettled and that Is, that we will
have no le?cheB onjthc commission. We arc
not going to employ a lot of men who know
nothing about the work nnd are simply nfter
appointment for the purpose of getting a
free vacation With a good ollowanco for
spending money,
"Tho proposition has been mado to me
rrcontly to exhibit a portion of tho Uni
versity of, Nebraska school of domostlc
srjepi'.c. .It may b.n good Idea nnd possibly
ehnbfl worked out. Such' a display -would
(m a novelty nnd undoubtedly would uttract
wide attention."

your medicine has done for me. Twenty-three years ago I was taken with some kind
of stomach trouble, and I doctorcJ with our
best doctors and they did me but little good.
Then three years ago the change of life set
in on ma and neuralgia, and I got 10 poor

any. My liutbnnd received n small book
through the mail, advertising your medicine.
He sent our little boy to the drug store and
got one of your small ten-cent bottles. I
began to use it, It is strange to say, but it is
the truth, that t'.ie second dose I took gave r.10
lots of relief. I kept on using it until I u.cd
It nearly a year. Now I am neatly as sttong
as I used to be, and can do any kind of work
I want to. I recommend it to all. It seems
to me it would cure anybody. I have

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 9. (Special
Telegram.) It. J. Cunningham, a wealthy
mine owner from Iead, arrived In Kansas
City today with five cars of granite gold ore,
which was assayed nnd purchnsed by the
trust smelter at Argentine, n Kansas City
suburb Just over the line In Kansas. There
were 130 tons of ore In the shipment and
Hiniilngham received $110 a ton for tho ore.
or $H,J0O.
Cunningham's mine Is In the same dis
trict us the famous Homestead mine owned
by J. II, tlngglns, the millionaire mine-
owner. A big smelter Is run by the Hag
gins Interests in Deadwood and the output
from the Cunningham mine has heretofore
been sold and smelted (here, but the Dead
wood smelter charges $10 a ton for trenlltig
granite ore, while the charge hero Is only
,i n ton. The freight Is V n ton, but 2 per
cent Is deducted for moisture there and
nothing at the local smelter.
This Is tlic first ore shipment made to
Kansas City from tho Ulack Hills, but In
futuro Mr. Cunningham says he will bring
all his ore to tho Kansas City market for
melting, and he thinks other Illack Hills
operators will follow suit.
ALFALFA FOR HILL RANGES
'Jxperlineiitn Indlonte It Will fir hit
luxuriantly on Itarr
1'ralrle Land.
P.APID CITV. S. U., April 9. (Speclal.)
toplc of conversation among tho cattle
men who attended the association meeting
n this city was how to replenish the grass
on the ranges. In many portions of tho
Black Hills range tbo grass hns becomo so
closely eaten that cattle cannot keep fat
on It. In tho last few years n number of
new kinds of grabs have been experimented
with In the western cattle ranges.
George Buckingham, who owns a large
area o' upland cuttle range on Rapid creek,
cast of this city, stated that he had found
by experiment that alfalfa will grow lux
uriantly when sowed on the raw prairie
and. Last year he sowed twenty ncrci,
first going over tho ground twlco with a
tooth harrow. After the seed had been
sown he went over tho field again with the
harrow. Ho states that he had an enor
mous crop of tho grass. Other ranchers In
that part of the rango had similar results.
Spelt Is nnothcr new grass that will bo
sowed extensively in the Black Hills this
spring.
A number of the cattlemen and ranch
ers havo sent for sample packnges of a now
stock food called soy bean. This plant
will tnko tho place of clover In states where
clover Is hard to grow. It grows a crop
n four months and Is now looked upon In
the eastern part of tho stato as ono of the
greatest stock foodB In existence. Tho cat
tlemen of the Hills nro eager for somo
sort of a grass that will mature Into hay
for wintor use. Something that will bo
suro against a dry season. Last fall It was
almost Impossible to get enough hay for
tho range cattle to be used for winter. As
yet alfalfa has been tho most successful
plant.
