People of Central Nebraska, as well as those of mearly all other sections of the state, report that conditions for big crops were never better in they last ffteen years than they are mow. Wheat and oats have been damaged adme, but the harvest, on account of the intreased acreage, es- pecially of wheat, is expected to be above the average. Norris Brown, deputy attofney general, tells dn graphic language of the difficulties soon to be experienced by.the farmers in Buffalo county and surrounding territory. Mr. Brown passed Sunday at his home in Kearpey, but during the day talked with numerous farmers and other authorities on crops. “The crops in Buffalo county will be so big that we'll have to go outside to find land to stack them on,” seld Mr. Brown. “We never saw alfalfa so tall at this time of the year, nor in such good condition. The oats are doing well and what wheat there is in the county is in good condition. If this weather keeps oma little while longer every farm in Buffalo county and surrounding territory will pay big divi- dends.” Folitics 1n 1. B. Raper of Pawnee Oity was in Lineoln 8 few hours on business today and while bere discussed the local political conditions ‘o Pawnee county with a few friends. “The fusionists seem to have lost spirit o Pawnee county,” sald Mr. Raper, “whi on the other hand the republicans to have u better organization than heretofore and to be in better condition to roll up & big vote. We have two new candidates for the legislature, Dr. W. H. Wilson of Table Rock and J. M. Cravens of Armour. Rep- resentatives Scott and Wenzl both served two termis and ‘were net candidates {ér re- tomination. “The farmers and business men of the county seem contented. The crops are in #00d condrtion wnd business in the towns throughout the county has seldom been b:t- ter.” .

None of them suspected that the cause of my trouble was kidney disease. They all told me that I had cancer of the stomach, and would die. I grew so weak that I could not walk any more than a child a month old, and I only weighed sixty pounds. One day my brother saw in a paper your advertisement of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. He bought me a bottle at our drug store and I took it, My family could see a change in me, for the better, so they obtained more and I con- tinued the use of Swamp-Root regularly. 1 was so weak and run down that it took coneiderable time to build me up again. I am now well, thanks to Swamp-Root, and weigh 148 pounds. and am keeping house for my husband and brother, on a farm. Ewamp-Root cured me after the doctors had falled to do me a particle of good.
