These have been sue- cessful. Now Tur Bir hus undertaken to sct forth the attractions of this state 10 set- tlers, homeseckers and investors, It bas asked boards of trade or other interested parties in towns throughout the stato to make up @ careful and accurate re- sumo of the advantages and re- sources surrounding cach town, and will piint the same for tho information of eastern people. These statements have the official endorsement of representative partics 1n the various towns, ar.d may be relied on as absolutely accurate and reliable, It is with pleasure that Tix Ber prints the following articles ou Nevraska's opportuni- ties for the industrious MeCook's Advantages. McCook, Neb., July 13 To those seeking homes and investments in Nebraskn The city council of the city of McCook and the board of trade by its president and sec- retary extend a fricndly welcomo to all who are secking homes aud investments in th west to visit McCook, the metropolis of southwestern Nebraska and principal com- mercial city in the Republican valley, assur- fng all that they will be received with that hospitality for which Nebraska is famed, and ull will find the people ready to show the many advantages of McCook and her sur- rounding farming interests and varied in- dustris Wao would call attention to a few of our ad- vantage: Here is located the United States land office for the district arly overy sctiier has been here to make eniry of his land and here every day in the year can be found farmers from all parts of the district whos in making final proof or attending to o business matters, from whom you can ootain information relativo to almost any township in the six counties about which you may wish to fnauire, MeCook was platted i June, 1882, on an eminence over-looking the Kepub- lican valley, and is a live, active, commercial wrade center of a vast section of country tributary thereto. Is the larzest city between Hastings (166 miles east) and Denver (24 miles west). Bhe nas’ fully 8,000 souls and 1s the most lovely and inviting spot in the we Busi- ness in every form is represented and noth ing is staguant, ncither can it ve said to be overdone. Schools and churches abound and good otder and the best of society and morals exist on every hand. She nas put in at great expense nsystem of water works (Holly system) and increas the sume until today they have laid nearly twenty miles of mains in the city, and furnish the people nearly oue million gallons of watc r day for house and lawn uses. In 1855 the nited States land oftice for this district was Jocated here, which at once made McCook the Mecea of all in questof freo homes in this part of tho west. To those sceking homes, we say, in all candor, come out and sco for yourselves. Qur soil, our climate, our prices, our people, will comparo favorably with any portion of the United States, and we cordially in the comparison. Red Willow has at least 12,000 povulation und within five year more will bayo at least doubio the number. There aro twelve vostofices within the county and a number of country stores, thus affording advantaces to tho farmer that he would not othiorwise possess. Choice farms of 160 ncres, with more or less improvements thereon, within a radius of tweive miles of MeCook—which is the bast market town be- tween Hastings, Neb., and Denver, Colo., a distance of nearly four hundred miles—can bo purchased at prices ranging from § to 50 per acre, Tho rain fall in Red Willow county has been greater than any other county in the state, and she has had 1o hail or wind storm to destroy the crops. Ao immense crop of small grain has been harvested. Wheat yieldiug on an average of twenty bushels per acre, oats forty bushels, rye twenty bushels, and corn will averago Dot less than fifty bushels per acre; a great many fields will yield as high as seventy-five busiels per acre. Both Irish and sweet potatoes aro yielding large returns, and are above the average thi year, while melons and squashes grown here are far famed for their enormouo size and fine quality. The markets aresuppliod with home grown vegotables—fruits and melons, and truck gardening is a source of & good 1m* como to many farmers. The soil aud climate here are especially woll adapted to the growing of apple: peaches, cherrios, apricots, strawberries and all the small fruits and berries. There is nothing that deservos closer at- tention in_connection with McCook's many aavantages thun does the question of “real estate.”” Her climate is suverb, her soil is of the very best, her water isof the purest, aud we contend, without fear of successful contradiotion, that ber real estate offers in- ducements for investment, for either a home or for speculation, not 1o bo surpasscd, if equaled, in any pact of the groat west. McCook is beautifully hgbted with a com- plete system of are and incandescent lights, the plant being owned and operated by pri- ate individuals, McCook has one of the best 100-bar roller mills in the state, ulso two eleyators, which keep up a sharp rivalvy, keeping prices for gruin aud produce up to the biyhest poiut. McCook affords the best market for pro- duce of any place between Denver and Atehison, or Cheyenue and Lincoln. The freat majority of its citizens being employed n tho various departments of the railroad, or engaged in the mercantilo business or the practice of the mauy professions, thoy have ittle opportunity for producing thé many articles of daily diet, such as vegetables of all sorts, poultey, and the m coreals which, in one forin or unother, enteér into the western bill of fare. Truck farming, poultry farming, dairying and such like, are profitable and ave being quits well attended to, and much of the surplus products finds remnuerative market 11 the mountainous mining districts of the west. The attention of everyone is called to the fact thut the only herd of buffalo left in the yovernment herd at Yellowstono park, is kept on the prem ises of George Hocknell ouly a mile and a half from MeCook. 1t will Fepay any tourist to stop off and sce this magniticent herd of eighty-threo buffalo, That roble animal is almost extinet, and MeCook has the only lurge herd of these valuablo animals, The main line of the B, & M. railroad (T Great Burlington Route) runs through I Willow county o its way to Denver and the coast. McCook is the miin division of the B. & M. (C., B. & Q.) system west of tho Missouri river. Here are located tho round vranch shops, oil houses, ete., aud roll of the railroad employees here is many thousands of dollars por month, In the name of the city of McCook and Red Willow county we extend a hearty invitation 1o visit our city and county aad seo for you selt its maguificont prospects and immenso crops.

T am sorry tonform you that as yet our city has taken very littlo if any action toward the inducement of emigration and harvest excursion visits to this county dur- ing the coming fall, owing to the fact that 1t has been understood in this city that no e: cursions would be run or cheap rates given during the coming fall. We fully appreciate the necessity of U excursions and cheap rates toward the development and settlement . of our county. Our advantages are aumer- ous and varied, our county being the best watered in tho state by numerous small streams: we have abundance of timber for fu and building pr.rposes, something not found in the eastern part of our state; our soil 18 of a rich, black loam, capable 'of raising nything that is grown in tho state of the finest building stouo kr especiuily adapted for stock raising, no better being_found in the United States, as has been fully demonstrated during the past fivo vears.

Leas, Mayor. Crawford's Cause for Pride. Crawronn, Neb., July 31.—[Special to Tt BEE.|—Dawes county, whilo yet au infant county, has grown to a cood rank with other vorder counties in the state. Six vears ago it wus “way out west? somewhere in Ne- braska. Today it is tho county of the northwestern portion of the state, Many are the homes that have been established within its borders. Tho little *sod shanty on the claim,” has given way to prosperity and large roomy farm houses oceupy their place in many - stances. Wild lands that were homesteaded at that time have been transformed to farms of large dimensions, and the greon fiolds of corn and click of tho harvester, as it wados through the golden grain, tell a truthful talo of what has been accomplished in that short period. Hondreds of farms are being culti- vated each year and thousands of bushels of grain are placed at the disposal of the mark- cts. Withn that time some very important ovonts have oceurred. The,building of the ruil- vouds was superceded by the establishing of towns, and before either road had builded to the borde of Dawes county the towns of Chadron and Crawford were established. Chadron is tho county seat and as a population of about four thou- sand souls. Crawford is a lively rival and fransacts its sharo of the business. In fact, Crawford hias the better advantagos of the two. Being situated at the junction of the wo roads, 1t reaps benefits not enjoyed by oue road towns, - It has cheap fuel und cheap freight rates. This setion of the county is fortunato in several ways. Natura has pro- vided many things that’ man cannot do. Wo have stone quarries, fino brick clay and n tive lumber for building. This is a valuablo item and canuot be overlooked. Its vaileys aro covored with a heavy growth of grass and cattle mterests are well taken care of in tnat direction. Swall streams furnish_plenty of water and have tempted tho enterprising farmer to frrigate on a small scale, A bout- tiful crop is assured and the local rain fall has been good. A schome orizinating with 10 of our brominent busivess men will un- doubtedly bo pushed to_completion. 1t is an irrization schewe, and if carried through will insure plenty of water for at least 30,000 acres of land. The diteh will bo commenced this fall aud will start somewhere in - Sioux county. A large lake will be made at and a fall of 150 fect ob- ained, which means cheap power and plonty'of it. New brick buildings are being erected and othor fmprovements made in the ity s county is cortainly i and its assured crops will prove it when mu keted. While the other counties of tho state are prosporing, wo are also “making hay. Come out and see this king of countics, = It will pay you to do so.

That lotter has been replied to by the chairman, S. A. Gilley, and by the candidate of the probibi- tion party for attorney eeneral, D. B.

Having done so, unul that majority sentiment is changed the party would not be warranted in takin backward step and getting over onto the democratic platform. The vote of U5l to St in the Cedar Rapids convention in favor of the present law overwhelmingly settiod the question for the party for this year, and it must stand or fall by that position, The third party prohibition voto at best for the ht” or nine years has not execeded 500, and indications point to a less vote this ar, .

The orators, especially the members of con- gress, are loath to begiu the hard work of campaigning until about the first of Septom- ber, arguing that two months of that sort of thing is all they can stand. The ooposition parties, however, are already in the field, dates having been anrouuced by the people’s party for J. H. Powers of Nebraska for the coming week; A. J.

The show will go into winter quarters i London. —= CIRIOUS BUSINESS. In his address bofore the National Editorial association, Mr. A. Frank Richardson of New York, who probably knows as much about the advertising business us any one clse in the United States, created a seusation by his exposure of a remarkable and very exten- sive systom of petty swindling which has £rown up i recent years among retail deal- rs, and moro ospecially among drug gists, The owners of tho popular vatent medicines and standard prepara- tions whoso virtues huve stood the test of time and experience expend many millions of dollars every vear m advertising them. Through the agency of their advertise- ments in il tho leading newspavers of tho land the names und virtue of th repara- tions have become as familiar as house- bold words with the entiro newspaper reading public of the United States and Canada. ang advantago of the wide- spread popularity which these articles ha thus acquired, the druggist palms off upon the customer who calls for them some cheap and fraudulent substitute labelled in a nearly simlar manver, which he falsely represents as having been made or compounded by himself and as being as good or better than the preparation asked for, when in fuct these fradulent substi- tutes are not mado by himself, though so labeled, but by houses devoted to the manufacture of theso worthless counterfits, and when he knows notbing whatever of the ingredients of which they are composed. ako for sxample Hood's Sarsapar This standard medicine which its propriotor put upon the market only after its merits had been fully demonstrated. By the ex- penditure of nearly a million dollars a year in advertising it has become kuown to nearly every uewspaper reading house- hold in America. When the customer asks for it the drugeist tells bim tnat he has not got 11, or if e has got it, that he has also zot as good or a bettor savsaparilla which he the fact b of made himself label resembles that i that, theugh its Hood's Sursaparilla und bears the name of the druggistas its manufactur it was really made in Detroit by one of these mauufactirers of cheap and wortiless substitutes, which the drugsist can buy for a fraction of the sum whict Hood's Sarsaparilla would cost him and of the ingredicnts of which ho knows nothinw, Aud 50 it is through nearly the whole round of popular patent mediciues and prepara- tions, At Detroit and elsewhere there are houses whose solo business it 15 to manufucture worthless mixtures or compounds which they sell to retail druggists under labels which bear some resemblanca to those of such fa- vorite standurd pr tions as Carter's Lit tlo Liver Pills, Sapolio, Wolf's Acmo Oil, Dr!

For, if we aro no mistaken, the entire press of the conntry will b used by Mr. Richardson’s timely exposure of these swindling operations to put the public apon their guard wgainst the dis honest dealers who resort 1o them, 1t is no- only a fraud on the customers of the mert ! chants, but it is an outrage upon the mauu- facturers whose liberal advertising s cre | ated the demand for the articlo which the druggist seeks to meet by seliing the worth less imitation instead.
