May reel rrunii.
BUFFALO. N. Y.. Nov. 11. The re
sult of Nebraska's fruit display aa
to awards has been telegraphed ycu.
says a dispatch to the World-Herald.
Work done by Mr. Hodkinson has been
very gratifying. The fruit which has
attracted the attention of horticultur
cl scientists, and which has been the
life of the exhibit, was pruni3. the
collection of seedlings and hybrids
showing the evolution of the plum
from the sand cherry to the present
delicious victory. For this Nebraska
is largely indebted to Mr. Theodore
Williams, whose valuable work in
cross-breeding plums has attracted
much scientific attention. Of these
110 varieties have been cxhiblteu,
spreading over a period of two months.
With tho display of peaches follow
ing, of which Russell's seedling com
manded attention for its fair size and
good quality, and the apples in fall
and winter varieties to the number
of forty, the tables hare been well
filled and the unique boots made of
bark have overflowed. MeCormick"
Duchess of Oldenburg was especially
fine, and Nebraska's Jonathans gain
ed the admiring compliments of the
horticulturists who have grown criti
cal from much acquaintance with
toothsome varieties. A special display
of commercial apples has recently
been installed in new space, and Ben
jamin Davis, esq., and the Missouri
pippin fairly shine in a successful ef
fort to show that the drouth didn't
dry out their juices. Mr. Hodkinson's
work as a scientific horticulturist has
reflected credit upon Nebraska in
choosing him to represent her among
eo many representing widely separ
ated sections.
If the popular choice cculd have
given it. Nebraska certainly would
have Lad a gold medal for corn, for
all clay Ions the people came and stocd
over the great ears and expressed
astonishment and admiration. "It
cannot be possible that such corn wa3
raised when you had such a drouth,"
they said, and they quietly shelled off
a few kernels and carried them oft
to plant unHl hardly an car was kit

NEBRASKA EMIT AT BL'EFALO
THANKSGIVING IS NEAR
Governor Savage Issues His Prcclaaiatioa
Ecgarding the Sane.
NOVEMBER 28TH IS THE DAY SET
riioash a Great Calamity Haa Overtaken
It, Yet We Have Much to lie Thank
ful for Miscellaneous Nebraska Blat
ters in General.
Governor Savage has issued the fol
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:
"Never before in the history of Ne
braska have the citizens of this state
had more cause to be thankful for
worldly blessings than at present. Our
hearts and our homes are filled with
happiness and prosperity is manifested
everywhere. Though but recently sore
ly stricken with grief through the loss
of our dearly beloved president, there
is consolation in knowing that since
his death outraged justice has been
satisfied and public sentiment has mora
firmly than ever been moored to that
precept which at any sacrifice directs
the conservatism and preservation o
law and order.
"A more beautiful or impressive ex
ample of devotion to principle and
justice can be found nowhere in his
tory than the American people, with
bruised and quaking hearts, still
standing resolutely upon the high.
moral principle that even under sucfe
conditions the majesty of the law
should be maintained. This unwaver
ing obedience to established law must
of necessity cast rays of light acrost
the pathway of posterity and ripen
into higher enlightenment and more
exalted civilization.
"We should be thankful that tb
vacancy, in the presidency has been.
filled by one whose sympathies ar
anchored in the hearts of the people,
who is imbued with patriotism and
who possesses rare judgment and
splendid executive ability. While the
bereavement was sad and dlstressinf
we should be thankful, too, that hu
manity has in a degree been com
pensated through the stimulation ot
that sentiment which is calculated to
promote the evolution of human
genius and public morality.
"At peace with the world, with our
labor employed, our commerce and
trade expanding, our nation at the
head of the great powers of the world
and rapidly extending its commercial
supremacy over the waters of the
lol:e, with good prices for our pro
ducts and with contentment every
where, certainly we of all people
should in prayerful gratitude offer up
thanks to Providence, who has giver
:-o unsparingly cf these material
tokens.
"That our gratitude and apprecia
tion may be attested I, Ezra P. Sav
age, governor cf the state cf Ne
braska, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by law, do hereby ap
point and designate Thursday, Novem
ber 2S. 1901. as a day for thanksgiving,

transaction of public business be sus
pended on that date, and respectfully
request that the people repair to their
accustomed houses of worship and rev
erently offer up thanks to Him wbo
ha? so carefully supervised our affairs
and who has given so jrenerously His
blessings.
"In testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused to bo
affixed the great seal Df the state of

BUTTE. Neb.. Nov. 12. Apparcntly
with Incendiary intent undetected per
sons started a fire in the rear of An
ton Scheinost'g saloon at 2 o'clock In
the morning and as a result many of
Butte's business establishments are in
ashes and the proprietors heavy losers
on their stocks. There i3 not a hotel
or a restaurant left in the town.
The ten buildings destroyed were all
in the business section, and being of
wood, burned so fiercely that the rest
of the town was saved only by the
hardest work. New and better build

The evidence of incendiarism was so
strong that search is being made for
a stranger who is reported to have

A GLAZE AT THE CAPITOL
Sons Believe There Was Attempt to
Destroy the Structure.
LINCOLN, Nov. 9. The discovery
of a small blaze in the tunnel leading
from the engine house to the state
capitol building has caused several of
ficials to believe that a deliberate at
tempt was made to destroy the latter '
structure. The flames were confined
to the asbestos covering of a large
steam pipe running through the tun
nel. Outside of the asbestos is a cov
ering of four layers of heavy paper.
This paper was burned away in two
spots, each about a foot in diameter.
Below the pipe was found a pile of
excelsior and several burnt matches.
The place where the fire was found is
about forty feet from the capitol
building, and with a good draft the
flames would have spread the entire
distance within a few minutes.
Secretary of State Marsh and Attor
ney General Prout investigated the
discovery, but arrived at no definite
conclusion. It was reasoned that if an
attempt was planned to destroy the
building the fire would have been
started nearer the building or in the
woodwork. The pipe is hot enough to
scorch dry paper, but it Is said by en
gineers that it could not produce any
effect on the asbestos, which is be
tween the pipe and the outside paper
covering.
State Fi;; lit on Standard OH.
LINCOLN, Nov. 9. The supreme
court made an order allowing the state
ten days in w Inch to file exceptions
to the report of the referees in its
case against the Standard Oil com
pany. If some showing is not made
by the state within the time speilied
the report of the referees will be con
firmed and the case dismissed, as rec
ommended. Attorney General Trout
said he had not determined what
course he would pursue. It is likely,
however, that exceptions will be filed,
in which event the court will assign
a day for a hearing.

Causing Earl Li's Death.
JAPAN WANTS TO KNOW ITS FORM
Russia Anxious that the Manclinrian
Treaty He Secret Empress Dowager
Orders Publicity Hemorrhage 1'uts
an End to Chinese Statesman.
PEKIN, Nov. 9. A violent dispute
with M. Paul Lessar, Russian minister
to China, over the Manchurian treaty
appears to have been the immediate
cause of the death of Li Hung Chang.
The diplomatic confusion following
this tragic climax has enabled Japan
for a moment to frustrate the designs
of Russia.
A fortnight ago the Japanese lega
tion secured a reliable outline of the
terms of the treaty and thereupon de
manded that the Chinese plenipoten
tiaries officially lay before them the
text basing the demand upon the al
legation that the Japanese irtereta
were involved in any charge of tba
status of Manchuria.
The Chinese plenipotentiaries re
fused to comply with the demand
Thereupon the Japanese government
from Tokio communicated with the
southern viceroys and induced them to
use their influence with the empress
dowager against the treaty. In the
meantime the empress dowager in
structed Li Hung Chang to communi
cate the treaty after certain modifica
tions to the ministers of the powers
and if they did not object to sign the
same.
Li Hung Chang visited M. Lessar
and explained to him the instructions.
The Russian minister strongly object
ed to revealing the text of the treaty
to the ministers of the other powers
and a stormy interview ensued. Li
Hung Chang went home in a violent
passion and had a hemorrhage, which
the doctors attribute to the over-exertion
of a weakened system.
While these things were happening
in Tekin, instructions were issued
countermanding the order to sign.
This instruction came after IJ Hung
Chang had become unconscious. Whea
MI. Lessar endeavored to have la
Hung Chang's ofiicial seal affixed to the
treaty, Chou Fu, provincial treasurer,
had arrived from Po Ting Fu. and
had taken charge of the; seals as the
temporary successor of Earl Li.
The flag of the United States legation
was the only one half-masted today.
Musicians beat drums about the house
of Li Hung Chang.

that the new treaty with Great Britain
wculd be ratified and the canal bill
passed at the approaching session of
congress.
Senator Bailey, who was for two
congresses the leader of the minority
in the house, says that so far as he

of the minority senators to decide
upon a policy of opposition in the

think that events will be likely to de
mand this course. Senator Bailey
said thr.t if the new canal treaty was
the strong treaty it was reported to
be he would gladly give it his support.
