Omaha Bee: Sirs—The Waverly Novelsawarded me as a premium were received in gocd shape, Iam well pleased with them, They make a beautiful addition to my little library. I wouid 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 do not ship 20 pounds of freight in as many years, how can we expect any change. * * * * Respectfully, PETER EVELAND. 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. Iam not speaking this way because I was lucky enough to draw one of the large premiums, but from the manner in which all the premiums were distributed throughout the country. And again, if it had not been conducted in a straightforward manner, it would have had a great tendency in destroying the future prosperity of THE BEg, * * #* I would like to say more in favor of your paper, but must conclude with ex- pressing my best wishes for the success of your paper and yourselves. Respectfully, JOHN COMBS. BLAIR, Neb., April 1, 1880, Editor Omaka Weekly Bec.

The following is a description of the most valuable premiums that are to be allotted to patrons of the BEE on Feb- ruary 22d,1881: THE FORTY ACRE FARM which we ofter as one of the premmms is located in Hall county, Nebraska, within five miles of Grand Island, one of the most prosperous towns in the State. Grand Island has a population of 3,000, is the western terminus of the Eastern Division of the Union Pacific Rail Road, at which are located the Round Houses and machine shops of the U. P. Rail Road, which when opened next spring, will give steady employment to 400 mechanics. Grand Island is also the terminus of the St. Joe & Denver Rail Road, and the Black Hills branch of the Union Pa- cific R. R. Grand Island is now the fourth largest city in Nebraska, and two years hence will undoubtedly rank the third city in the State. The land is considered cheap at eight dollars per acre, as the soil is rich and produc- tive and lies within five miles of one o1 the best markets in the state. THE $650 CASE THRESHER. The J. I. Case & Co. Threshing Ma- chine which is the most valuable amongour premiums, is their latest and most improved machine manufac- tured at their world renowned factory at Racine, Wisconsin. Every farmer and dealer in agricultural machinery admits the superiority of these thresh- ing machines over all competitors. | Under our contract with Case & Co., the party receiving this premium is en- titled to either one of the three pat- terns manufactured by them, namely. The Apron, Eclipse, or Agitator Sep- arator. These machines are equally good threshers in grain, fllaxseed, timothy or clover. These threshing machines includes a ten horse four wheel Pitts or Woodbury power mounted on trucks, wagon for Sepa- | rator, straw stacker, levers and all the necesssry fixtures in good shipping condition, to be delivered on the cars at Racine, Wisconsin. TEHE MCCORMICK SELF-BINDING HARVESTER. The reputation of the McCormick machines is so well established, and their faultless workings so well known to all farmers and machine men, that no special description of them from us is deemed necessary. All know that it has no peer or competitor. We give one of the celebrated McCormick Harvesters and Binders as one of our Grand Premiums. The party to whom this premium will be allotted will re- ceive either the wire or twine binder, as he may choose, as Mr. H. R. Gould, the gentlemanly manager of this dis- trict for the McCormick Harvesting Machine Co., says the lucky party who shall obtain this splendid gift can have his choice, or the same value in either or any of the following named goods: * Hand Binding Harvesters,” ““ Combined Advance,” their new Iron | Framed Combined Reaper and Mow- er, (calledthe “Imperial,”) their new “Iron Mower;” or their new iron framed ¢ Dropper.” Thus you will see from the large selection which the McCormick Harvesting Machine Co, have given you the choice of selecting from, you can suit yourself with any kind of grain or grass cutting ma- chine. THE AMERICAN GRINDING MILLS which we offer as premiums are guar- anteed to be first-class in every respect, simple in construction, durable and easily managed. These mills are in- tended for grinding feed and are valu- able to every farmer; they can be ad- justed so as to grind meal fine enough for table use. The fortunate farmer who receives one of these mills will certainly be well pleased. The mills are complete with pulleys and can be attached to any power. They are manufactured by the American Grind- ing Mill Co., Chicago, Illinois. (See advertisement elsewhere.) . (SEWING MACHINES.

Sixof them are Singer machines, a standard machine sold in every city and village in the United States and Europe. Everybody knows their value and usefulness. The other six Sewing Machines on the list are also standard makes and, like all other premiums are worth just what they are listed. PIANOS AND ORGANS are placed on our list at the manufac- turers retail price. They are standard make and are good workmanship and tone, The organs will be much better than the one given last year. The piano will be the same value and guaranteed as good in every respect. SCHOLARSHIPS the St. Joseph, Denver and Omaha Business Colleges entitle the holder to a thorough Commercial Course in these Institutions. Should they be awarded to a party who is past his school days, they can be usel as the means of giving some young iriend a thorough commercial education, and in ifthe party lives at a distance from these cities they are easily exchanged for others nearer home. GREENWICH MANUFACTURING STEEL TOOTH RAK. The Steel Tooth Rakes mentioned in our Premium List, are from the cel- cturing Co., co’s ebrated Greenwich Mar Greenwich, Ohio, E. L. MARsH, man- ager. Thesejgoods are first-class and will give excellent satisfaction. THE FOUR TON SCALE is manufactured by the Moline Scale Company, Moline, Illinois. The rep utation of the firm is ample guarante that the Scale is accurate and built ir the most substantial manner. THE HARNESSES are manufactured in Omaha by our best harness makers.

The $go0 tea set will be triple plated, elegant in design and artistic workmanship. The name of the party to whom this pre- mium is awarded will be engraved on each piece of plate if desired—without charge. The watches are all Ameri- can, Elgin and Waltham makes, and warranted as first-class time pieces. The cases are of elegant patterns and warranted as represented. Our First Premium Dis- tribution.
