Important to Home Seekers and Stuck
Growers,
A new pamphlet just printed and for free
distribution to all home seekers and stock
growers, by the Land Department of the
Union Pacific Railway Co., called "Central
and Western Nebraska, and the Experiences
of its Stock Growers." It treats of sheep and
cattle growing. It calls special attention to
the counties of Platte, Merrick, Howard,
Hall, Kearney, Buffalo, Dawson, Custer, Gar
field and Lincoln. We will send to any ad-
dress one of tho pamphlets with the "I'lo
neer," "Facts and Figures;" also a county
map of Buffalo and Dawson, and a township
map of the State of Nebraska.

The Firemen's Ball on Wednesday evening
was tho greatest ever held in this city. Over

success. We congratulate the boys, not only
on the remarkable attendance, but on the
high esteem in which the Undine Hose Co, is
held by our people as evidenced by their sue-
cess.
