IN THE WEST Northwestern s Heralding the Fact to the World in a Subst tal Way. In the west, the farmer, stock raiser, merchant -and manufacturer are busy, thelr products are bringing good prices and the great agricultural belt of the upper Mississippl valley is enjoying a de- gree of prosperity that is probably un- equalled in history. The crops this year have been good, the acreage larger than ever before known and’ the beneficent results of the harvest far reaching enough to have a favorable effect on every man, woman and child in the reglon. » Beveral expressions of " opinion on the subject are belng published by the pas- senger department of the Northwestern line, among them the following concern- ing Nebraska's ontlook wseen by Gover- nor Mickey, Unfted States Senator Mil. lard and Edward Rosewater of the Omaha Hee. Governor Mickey says: ‘“Nebraska will produce’ 200,000,000 bushels of corn and over 40,000,000 bushels of wheat this year. Her total crop acreage is 15,000,000 acres and the value of live stock is over $160,000,000. Our state banks show an increase in de- posits since June § of 31,016,290 and' their reserve is 36% per cent, ‘where the legal requirement is only 15 per cent. Nebrask: outlook ‘13 indeed promising. The stat holds an - enviable position In this great country of ours and her name is no longer synonymous with drouth and poverty." Senator Millard says: “This being an agricultural reglon, it s most gratifying to say the firmers are very prosperous, e merchants have been doing an ex- céllent business this year and the outlook for all kinds of business is good.” Mr. Rosewater says: “During my resi- /| dence of forty years west of the' Missouri, I have witnessed 'marvelous strides of progress, but at no period within my mem- ory have the peaple of this section been more generally prosperous and contented with existing conditions than they are at this time. The prosperity we are enjoy! 1s not confined to any one class, but em- braces the farmer, the stock raiser, the merchant, the manufacturer and the wago- worker all alike. These gratifying evidences of substantial progress are not due to speculation in town lots or land booming, but to the expansion of the area under cultivation, the golden harvests from the grain flolds, and the cattle ranges that have enabled the Nebraska farmers, In common with the farmers of the trans- mississippl country, to pay off the mort- gages, make valuable betterments and leave millions of surplus on deposit in the banks. The prospect of future growth is bright and promising for Nebrasks, as it 1s for the whole great west and there e no signs that would indicate & break in the near future. ' A trip over the Northwestern line, through the rich valley of the Elkhorn, or an; other part of Nebraska, is so filled wit new revelations of development and growth as to make the statements of the governor and Senator Millard weem mild indeed. In western - Nebraska heavy immigration is helping the state greatly, too; much of this prosperity being due to the fact that the Northwestern line has kept in close touch with the communities it serves and that their Interests have at all times been mutual, as well as to the fact that by means of special low rates thousands of home-seckers and settlers have been at- tracted to this western country. ring November.

The greatest mind and character the world ever produced is Shakespeare, ac- cording to Dr. W. A. Quayle of Kansas City, who lectured to a large audience in the First Methodist church Tuesday on Hamlet, which he termed Shakespeare's masterplece. Dr. Quayle held that Hamlet presents all the questions that are met by any great soul In this world. Love, life, God, evil, duty, retribution—all these were dealt with by the great genius of Shakes- peare, but this great mind, which was con- structive and creative, in turn did not pos- sess the genlus to answer any one of these great questions which trouble every soul, truly great, and which is seeking to know its place and mission and duty in the world. The genius of a Shakespeard could propound the great questions of life, but was utterly unable to answer the questions, the product of his great mind. In this lies the great mystery in Hamlet. A struggle for Light. Hamlet was a contemporary of Job and others who have beerf anxious about the great questions cf ife. All of these un- dying questions, which must be met by every soul, are answered by Chriét. He came along and opened every door at which Hamiet had knocked in valn. Christ not only opened every one of thess doors, but swung them wide open forever, Christ came and saw sin and eonquered it. He was tempted of the devil and the flesh, as was Hamlet, and came off victor, Hamlet made anxious and soul-rending in- quiry for answers to these questions and, falling to find an answer.that would satisfy his soul life, he was dead to the world. Hamlet was trying to find an ethical basis for conduct or behavior. And so has every soul living today. The tribulations and sor- rows of life, the reaching out after baby fingers that have departed, the plea and the prayers for the return of the loved ones, the tragedies of life with all that they mean—all these questions are the Hamlets that each and every soul has to deal with. Hamlet was not merely a creature of fiction. He 18 a personality that comes into each life as a question mark, and ‘the soul that Is concerned about its duty and fts proper place and mission in the world must mect its Hamlets and must answer the questions and meet the responsibilities im- posed or dié broken in spirit or leave a wasted life. Hamlet was lovable, brave, nelghborly, kind hearted, straighforward, true, and combined all thoss characteristica which go to make up a man, but when resistle woes came upon him like an avalanch and then seemed to multiply and Increas and when he could find no single ray of light, and when hope had falled him, and when he had groped continuously and hope- lessly and helplessly In the dark, as it were, for an answer to the questions which were burning and consuming him—then it was that he went under. But In so doing he was not a traitor to duty. He was not dishonorable. He did not lose his bravery. He became careworn and baggard, he lost the lightheartedness, the brightness and buoyancy of life. He was defeated because he could not find an avenue of escape; from the unseen there came no answer to.the Questions which preyed upon his soul lite. All Must Face the Question. Hamlet s not merely a theoretical propo- sition. The questions which bothered him will continue to grapple at everybody's throat as long as time shall endure. Life itself was Hamlet's great problem, and he falled to solve it because he was without hope in God, Who is the author and the glver of life. According to Dr. Quayle, no big, or full, or useful, or noteworthy life ever was or ever will be lived without having walked along the same path that Hamle’ trod, and insofar as it finds a happy answer to the questions which welgh upon it, will it be able to rise up from the weight which op- presses it and strive for that which the future will then hold out. Hamlet wanted to do his duty to the full and he could not even find that duty. This, it was held, constituted the tragedy. of his life. He died speaking to Horatlo, his friend, and uttering these words: “Present me and my cause aright to the unsatisfied.” DEFENDS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Chadwick Replf to of Rev. Dr. Gray 1 OMAHA, Nov. 10.—To the Editor of The Bee: Will you kindly give space for a briet reply to Rev. J. W. Gray's attack on Chris- tian Sclence, as recently reported in your columns. Christlan Sclence has always stood the test of honest inyestigation. ~Any person who has not studled its text-book wor prac- ticed Christian Sclence heaing successtully 15 in no position to explain what Christian Seclence 18 or is not. Instead of saying nothing about sin which we are accused of our text-book, “Sclence and Health, With Key to the Scriptiires,” by Mary Baker G. Eddy, has #o much to say upon the subject that, instead of fure nishing a cloak for sin and leading *'to &l sorts of deprdyity and crime,” as alleged by our eritic, the evil-doer finds little con- solation in its teachings until he is fully ready to forsake his sins and to lead & pure lite, a life of daily prayer and fasting and communion with God, good.

He knows that “the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much,” e the healing of the sick and the reformation of the sinner. | Instead of “losing our love of God, of prayer and communion’’ and sympathy for our fellow man, such love and sympathy are enharced a thousand fold, for Christian Bclence teaches us that God Is infinite Di- vine Love and sends neither sin nor disease upon man, but brings the sweet assurance that nothing but sin is to be punished or lost. Without further comment upon points mentioned by Rev. Gray, we beg to submit a few brief passages from “Sclence and ‘which will clearly define the pos tion maintained by Christian Sclence on the subject of sin and its effects upon the human mind and body. ‘A corrupt mind is manifested in a cor- rupt body. Lust, malice and all sorts of evil are diseased bellefs and you can only destroy them by destroying the wicked motives which produce them. If the evil Is over In the repentant mortal mind, while its effects still remain on the Individual, you can remove this disorder only as God's law is fulfilled and reformation cancels the erime. Heallng the sick and reforming the sin- ner are one and the same thing in Chri: tlan Sclence Both cures require the same method and are Inseparable in Truth. Hatred, envy and dishonesty make a man sick, and neither material medicine nor Mind can help him permanently, even in body, unless they make him better morally and so deliver him from his destroyers. | The basic error is mortal mind. The heat of hatred, inflaming brutal propensities, the indulgence of evil motives and aims, will make any man (who is above the very low- est type of manhood) a hopeless sufferer. They consume the body With the fires of hell, “Christian Sclence commands man to master the propensities, to hoid hatred In abeyance with kindness, to conquer lust with chastity, revenge with. charity and to overcome decelt with honesty. Choke these errors in their early stages it you would not cherish an army of conspirators against health, happiness and success. They will deliver you to the judge, the arbiter of truth against error. The judge will deliver you to justice anl the sentence of the moral law will be executed upon mortal mind and body. Both will be manacled until the last farthing is pald—until you have bal- anced your account with God. ‘Whatso- ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.’ This is sin's necessity—to destroy {tsel€ and 80 yleld at last to the government of God, wherein Is no power to sin.” (Pp. 404, 5.)

Like Banquo's gh.st, the Knight murder mystery will not down, another chapter having been added last night, when C. A. Baker of 1142 North Twentleth street and his brother-in-law, Sam Collins of 2421 Hamilton street, drove up to the Knight house on North Twenty-third street and carted away the household effects without authority. At 11 o'clock the police received a tele- phone message from some one, Who rang off before his name could be secured, stating that furniture was belng removed from - the Knight residence. Detectives Ferrls and McCarthy and Officers Cullen and Baldwin were detalled to look into the matter. When they - arrived at the house, one load of furniture had been re- moved to Baker's house, and the balence of the goods was on the wagen ready to ‘be hauled away.

When a laxative is needed the cemedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten aud strengthen the interna. organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remed itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the litlle ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its benefi al effects, is— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers, Syrup of Figs naturally without g the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and ping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs.
