How toGetTwenty-flve Hundred Dollars for Nothing:. The Winner has a Clear Gift cf a Small Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents that may Bring them in Still More. Would you like to make twenty-five hundred dollar.-*? If you would, lead curelull.v wl at follows and you may see a way to do it. The Press Claims Company devotes much attention to patents. It has handled thousands of applications for inventions, but it would like to batidle thousands more. There is plenty of inventive talent at. large in thiscountry, needing nothing hut encouragement to produce practical results. That en couragement the Press Claims Company pioposes to give. Not So Hard As It Seems. A patent strikes most people as an appullingly formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor must he a natural genius, like Edison or Bell; that he must devote years to delving in comf Heated tin clmnical problems arid that he must spend a fori une on delicateexperimeuts before hë can get a new device to a patentable degree ol perfection. This delusion the company desires to dispel. It desires to get into the head of the public a clear comprehension of the fact that it is not tne great complex, and expensive inventions that bring the best returns to their authors, but the little, simple, and cheap ones—the things that seem so absurdly trivial that the average citizen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the at tention of the patent, office. Edison says that the profits he has received from the patents on all his muivelous inventions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of hia ex periments But the man who con ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber cord toa chilli’s ball, so that it would come back to the hand when thrown, made a foitune out of the sch« me. The modern sewing-machine íb a miracle of ingenuity—the product if the toil of hundreds of busy brains through a hundred and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result reRts upon the simple device of putting the eye of the needle at the point instead of at the other end. Tlie Lit In Things The Most Valuable. Comparatively few people regard themselves as inventors, but almost fevtiobody has btt-u sliuck, at one time or another, with ideas that seem ed calculated to reduce Rome of the little frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dismissed without further tboucht. “ Why don’t the railroad company make its car windows so that they can be slid up and down without breaking the pussengers’ backs?” exclaims the traveler. “ If I were running the road I would make them in such a way.” “ What was the man that made this saucepan thinking of?” grumbles the cook. 1 He iitvi r liad to work over a stove, or he would have known how it ought to have been fixed.” “ Hang such a collar button!” growls the man who in late for breakfabt. “ If 1 weiein tne business I ’d make buttons that wouldn’t slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my neck.” And then the various sufferers forget about their grivences and begin to think of something else. If Ihey would sit down ut the next convenient oppor tunity, put their ideas about car win dows, saucepans, and collar buttons into practical sbnpe, and then apply for patents, they might find themselves as independently wealthy as the man who invented the iron umbrella ring, or the one who patented the fifteen puzzle. A Tempting Offer. To ii-duce people to keep track of their bright ideas and see what there is in them, the Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a prize. To the person who submits to it, the simplest and most promi sing invention, from a cummer cial point of view, the company will give twenty.five hundred dollars in cash, in addition to re funding the fees for securing the patent. It will also advertise the in vention free of charge. This offer is subject to the following conditions: Every competitor must obtain a patent for his invention through the company. He must first apply for a preliminary search, the cost of which will be five dollars, bhould this search show bis invention to be unpatentable, be can withdraw without further ex pense. Otherwise be will be expected to complete his application ami take out a patent fn the regular wav. The total expense, including Government and Bureau fees, will te seventy dollars. For this, whether he secures the prize or rot. the inventor will have a patent that ought to be a valuable property to him. The prize will be uwardea by a fury consisting of three reputable patent attorneys of Washington. In tending competitors should fill out the following blank, and forward it with their application: “ --------------, --------- ,1893. “ I submit the within described in vention in competition for the Twenty- five hundred Dollar Piize offered by the Press Claims Company. ti »» No Blanks In This Competition. This is a competition of rather an unusual nature. It is common to offer prizes for the best story, or picture, or architectural plan; all the competitors risking the loss of their labor and the successful one merely selling his for the amount of the prize. But the Press Claims Company’s offer it something entirely different. Each person iHasked merely to help himself, and the one who helps himself to the best advantage is to be rewarded for doing it. Tne prize is only a stimulus to do something that would be well worth doing without it. The architect whose competitive plan for a club house on a certain corner is not accepted has spent his labor on something of very little use to him. But the person who patents a simple and useful device in the Press Chums Company’s competition, need not worry if he fails to secure the prize. He has a substantial result to show for his work—one that will command its value in the market at any time. The plain man w*ho uses any article in his daily work ought to know better how tu imprrvr :t tbnn the mechanical expert who studies it ouly from the theoretical point of view. Get rid of the idea that an improvement ran be too simple to be worth patenting. The simpler the better. The person who best succeeds in combining simplicity and popularity, will get the Press Claim» Company’s twenty-five hundred dollurs. fbe responsibility of this company may be judged >rurn Ihe fact that its stock is held by about thrpp hundred of the leading newspapers of the United States.

After the war tariff is touched off there will be no more Home Market clubs to entertain McKin ley.—Independent. No; and if the democracy car rieeout its pledeges there will be no home maket, either! But the hypocrites will trim here and there and then call it a reduction of the ••war tariff.” If the tariff is ‘Tin constitutional” it shoul 1 not stand for single day.—Ar^us. ■::a. t T H E C O W B O Y RACE. List of the Riders W h o Are En tered for the Big: Event. The cowboy race to the World's fair will start frem Chadron on June 13th and will end at Buffalo Bill’s ¿»rounds in Chicago, where the winners will be presented with the several prizes by the well- known Nebraskan, W. F. Cody. Mr. Cody has added $500 to the $1,000 prize. This money is to he divided iulo three purses. The Coil’s Firearms Company hare made a special prize oi their cow boy companions, which will be used to lire the signal shot. The list ol riders at this time com prises the following, many of them famous names: Doc Middletown, Chadion; Em mett Albright, Chadron; Dyna mite Jack. Crawford, Neb.; Ira Demmon, Rawhide Butte, YV vo.; Nick James, (half breed.) Pine Ridge Agency; Jim Murray, Eagle Pass, Texas; Harry Gillespie, Flag Butte, Neb.; Peter Shangraw; (half breed), Pine R.dge Agency; ¡8am '1 vlor, Kingtisher, O. i\; Henry Rutter, Miles Citv, Mont ; liedom ( [ml1 m.) Wounded Knee; Hun Bell, Buffalo dip, S. D; Jack Flagg. Big Horn Basin; Snake Creek Tom. Snake Creek, Wyo; Spotted Wolf (Indian.) Rose Bub' agenc\; Joe Gifford, Pierre, S. D; Rattle.'-nake Pete, Orede, Col ; Joe Sampson, War- bonnet, Neb.; Miss Emma Hutch inson, D *nver, Col.; Gray Wilson, Paris. Ill ; Sam Irwin, D ‘adw o l, 8. D ; Cockeyed Bill, Manville, Wyo. As the start will be on the opening day of the state firemen’s tournament, Gov. Crounse has been invited to be present and fire the signal shot that starts the race, and then to review the com peting fire companies. Miss Hutchinson, who hails from Dender, is a young lady who has done much riding, and, al though not of a robust physique, still thinks she can win the race, being thoroughly acquainted with her powers of endurance, as well as the stying qualities of the west ern bronco. W hat’s in a Name? The discussion is still hot over the question whether the highest peak in the state of Washington should be called Mount Tacoma or Mount Ranier. The latter is the name used in the standard atlases and on the maps of the United States geological survey. But the citizens of Tacoma maintain that, while Ranier may be a historic name, having been given to the peak by Vancouver in 1792, Taco ma i3 the prehistoric name, hav ing been given the Indian name of it from time immemorial. For this reason, and because Tacoma is much more euphonious, they urge that it be officially adopted as the name of the proposed park which is to include the mountain.
