The ( Iri'iit mill ( InmliiK MiiMliienN nt the Iti'iilrlrii CrcniiHiry Compiuiy. The now building of tliu Beatrice Creamery company , probably the larg- oHt and bent equipped creamery estab lishment In tlio United Btntcs and per haps In the world , says a dispatch from that place , will bo thrown oven for the iiiHpcctlon of the public to morrow. ThlB company suffered sa vore IOHH from IIro a day ICHH thuu a year ago and the opening now will bo a Kort of celebration and Jollllcation. The Hoatrlco Creamery company was orRiinl7.u < l In 1891 as a corporation with Messrs. HnnkPll and DOHworth aa prclpal and controlling stockholders. At that time the office of the compuny WUH located In Heatrlcc , but the HII- porlor advantages of Lincoln In the wayof better railroad facilities Induced the company to move the butter mak ing plant to Lincoln. Temporary ( piarterH woio secured In a building on North Tenth street , but the business of the company expanded HO rapidly that another change was necessary. Tli * large Fitzgerald build ing at the foot of I' stieot was leased and remodeled , luted with Improved machinery and arranged expressly for Iho concern. A month or so later the Inillding was entliely destroyed by lire , together with all of the costly machinery. The debris was cleared ivway and the construction of the now Milldlng was commenced about eight nontliH ago. Both the lot and the mlldlng tire now owned by the com- ) any. Nearly eighty sklmlmng stations arc operated In connection with the plant n this city. At these stations milk s purchased from farmers , put .hrough machine separators , the cream sent to Lincoln and the milk return ed to the original owner. Farmers- - illze about 2 cents per pound more > y selling milk to the creamery than jy making the butter themselves , and at the same time they arc relieved of .ho necessary labor of churning.flho output of the Beatrice Creamery com- mny amounts to about 11,000 pounds of butter dally , or about five carloads > or week. In addition to the m.iiiu- 'nctnro ' of buter the firm also deals ex- onslvely In eggs , shipping from two mil a half or three carloads of candled eggs per week. The plant and bnlld- ng arc estimated to be worth about ff.0,000. The skimming stations operated In onnectlon with the creamery arc ocatcd In Nebraska , Kansas and Col- mulo. Nearly all of them are owned > y private or separate companies , but arc directly controlled by the Beatrice company. One man Is employed at ach station and at a few there are sev eral men regularly omplojcd. XnlmiMku Crop Conditions. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA , Lincoln , June 20. The United States lepartmcnt of agriculture climate and ; rep bulletin of the weather bureau , Nebraska section , for the week ending June 19 , says : The past week has been warm and wet in eastern counties and dry In western. The average dally tempera- : uro excess has varied from 2 degrees in the eastern part of the state to less than 1 degree in the western. The rainfall has exceeded half an Inch In central and eastern counties and was exceedingly heavy in Dodge , Washington and Durt counties , rang ing from 4 to nearly 7 inches. In most of the western counties the rain fall was less than a quarter of an Inch. The continued dry weather In the western counties has been exceedingly unfavorable for small grain. Oats and wheat have been considerably injured In that portion of the state and many fields are ripening prenmtnrely. In some counties the grass is drying up. The past week lias been exceptional ly favorable to crops in most of the eastern countlca In the counties where the heaviest rainfalls occurred corn suffered considerably from wash ing , . continued wet soil and lack of ultlvation. Wheat and oats are bead ing out ami rye is beginning to ripen. Corn Is backward and small In all sections , but stand is good anil the crop healthy. It has not yet been injured by the drought In southwestern coun ties , and has made fine growth in east ern counties during the past week. Generally the corn is free from weeds , and the second cultivation is well ad vanced. Hut In the region of heaviest rainfall where cultivation has been re tarded , the fields are becoming some what weedy. Potatoes are growing very well and are now generally In bloom. Cherries are ripe and the crop Is good. Alfalfa is mostly cut for the first tlmo and the crop is light. Sugar beets are growing well. NttliniMkn In llrlt'f.

ALL DEPENDS ON ILLINOIS. llnjor IhirrlHoii of ( Jlilciigo SIIJK It run Mukit or Itrcuk Hrjiin. CHICAGO , June 26. Mayor Harri son declares that Illinois may decide whether William J. Bryan will be elected president In 1900. The mayor makes this statement in a letter ho has written to D. Turnbolt , a democrat of Lincoln , 111. Mr. Turnbolt wrote the mayor asking him why the per sonal differences between the former governor and himself should not be made up , so that the party could present - sent a united front next year. The letter says : "I agree thoroughly with you that Governor Altgold and I should settle our personal misunderstanding through personal means. This is acting on the theory that we have any personal mis understanding. As far as I am con cerned , I have absolutely no personal differences with the ex-governor. The protest filed by the democratic state central committee against Governor Altgeld and his man Devlin at the St. Louis conference does not really con cern mo as an individual. The protest against Messrs. Altgeld and Devlin is made by Mr. Gahan , who Is national committecman of the democratic party of the state of Illinois , and who had been persistently Ignored In all party matters for the past two years. "Unless the regular organization of Illinois receives proper recognition I personally would despair of SUCPCSS in carrying the state of Illinois for the national ticket of 1900. Mr. Bryan will undoubtedly be the democratic nomi nee at that time. With the state of Illinois casting Its electoral vote for him ho would probably bo seated as the succt'bbor of President McKlnley , but Illinois cannot bo expected to glvo her electoral vote for the democratic candidate for the presidency If the regular organization Is hampered In its work , and if a reward is held out for the political bolter and the political traitor. " Ex-Governor Altgeld declares that the railroads will bo placed under fire by the democratic national conven tion. "It is my belief , " said the ex- governor , "that if the convention were to be held within thirty days it would almost unanimously adopt a plank favoring governmental ownership of railroads. "Without continuous assistance from the railroads the trusts could not sur vive a year. If they hadto , transact business on the same terms as their competitors , which do not belong tea a trust , they would quickly disinte grate and go to pieces. " OoeH Hack to I.itron. WASHINGTON , D. C. , June 24. The gunboat Concord has sailed from Hong Kong for Llngayen for patrol duty. Llngayen IB a fort In the bay of Llngayen , on the northwest coast of Luzon. If supplies are being furnish ed to Agulnaldo's insurgents they are probably landed in this bay , from which easy access could bo had to the interior of the island. Army I'ull Strength. WASHINGTON. D. C. , Juno 20. It is said by officials at the War depart ment Interested in the recruiting move Hnent that this work Is progressing vlth pleasing rapidity. Recruits have been received at the rate of 1,000 a week for the last three weeks and there ar now nt the Preside at San Francisco about fi.OOO men waiting transportation to the Philippines. Many of these are old soldiers and the others are being rapidly drilled and broken in. CZAR'S PEACE PROPOSAL. Ho Anlin Only Tliut for tint I'rcHont III' rrriinliiK of Ariimiiirnt C'l'iini ) . THE HAGUE , June 2G.--M. do Staal. president of the peace conference , at a meeting of the committee , Intro duced the Russian proposals looking to the arrest of armaments and read a declaration disclaiming all Intention of proposing a reduction of the arma ments at present. Hut , ho added , ho was of the opinion that If a stand still could be agreed upon a reduction would soon come of itself. All the imwers , ho explained , had conferred with the czar relative to the Immense evils of armed peace , and he , M. do Staal , now appealed to them to devote their energies toward the arrest of the continental increase in the cost of armed peace , which , he asserted , cost more than a tremendous war. Colonel Oillinsky of the Russian delegation moved that the powers should enter Into an understanding for a term of. say five vears , not to Increase the effectiveness of the pe.iua footing of their forces , with the ex ception of the colonial troops , and not to increase the amount of their mili tary budgets beyond their present llg- uio. uio.The The speeches and the resolution were ordered to be printed and circu lated and the discussion was adjourned until Monday. In spite of the refusal of Archmed Reza Dey of the young Turks party to fight a duel with Rechld Bey , secre tary of Turkham Pasha , head of the Turkish delegation at the peace con ference , Ammoghlan , an Armenian , who was to have been one of the speakers at the meeting ot the young Turks party , has written a letter to the Vatcrland , denying remarks at tributed to him , but nevertheless ac cepting the challenge which Reza Bey declined on the ground that duelling has aroused extraordinary Interest among all classes. % * * The drafting committe of the arbi tration commission spent the after noon in considering articles 1 and 7 of the Russian proposals. All that is left now is the drafting of regulations for the board's procedure. The information from Germany is that Emperor William will not sepa rate himself from the other powers in the arbitration question , and the Ger man delegates anticipate a favorable decision on that point. The work is now so far advanced that the confer ence will probably take a holiday aft er June 28 in order to allow the dele gates to refer to their respective gov ernments for final decision. Mr. Frederick Hells of the American delegation , alluding to the German at titude , said : "This mater is much exaggerated. Active negotiations took place , but Germany Is in no way irreconcilable and would not hesitate any more than any other power to agree to an arbi tration court established on an accept able basis. "The Turks themselves Btato that no one Is able to say they object to the arbitration scheme ; that when the proposal has been finally shaped they yill examine it and only then give in if the wording of the scheme contains points not covered by their instate * tions. " THROWS PARTY TO THE DOOS. Now French Cublnet AppoaU to All to Ilully to the Support of Country. PARIS , June 20 The cabinet has sent a circular to the prefects saying the new ministry has been formed to defend the public and that it puts aside all partisan feeling , which example , it is pointed out , should be followed by the prefects. The latter are urged to promptly inform the government of all acts affecting respect of both in stitutions and public order and to be ready in case of need to act promptly on their own responsibility. The prefects are also warned to let bygones be bygones and to perform their duties with the utmost precision. The minister of war , General de GI1- llfot , has also sent a circular to the generals as follows : "My Dear General I have been forced , to my great regret , to leave my retreat and assume under the eyes of the country and the government of the republic , the responsibility for the army. I am greatly honored and in no wise frightened , and I beg you not to forget that I am responsible also for the chiefs of the army , the same as they are responsible to mo for all which occurs within their commands. I count , therefore , on you , as you ma ? count on mo. DE GALLIFET. " ArrtiptH the Troslilcnry. CHICAGO , June 2C.

In an interview printed In a lute Issue of the Klondike Miner Commlrsloner Ogll- vle states that he never advised the imposition of royalties on the gold output. Ho believes that sensational reports sent out regarding the vast wealth being shipped out of the coun try were the direct cause of Canada imposing the royalty tax. The com missioner has not lost faith in the richness of the country and predicts that the whole district In the vicinity of Dawson will probably yet yield $100,000,000 in gold. TrnimferH Gen. Itoget.

LAS VEGAS , N. M. , June 20. Me morial service was the first thing on the Rough Riders' reunion program Sunday. It was held at 11 o'clock in the morning at the Duncan opera house and Rev. Thomas A. Uzzell , pastor of the People's Tabernacle of Denver , preached the memorial serm on. He said that the soldier who is forced to remain behind is worthy of. praise and recognition as well as the man who is at the front. The Rough Riders , he declared , have by their acts at San Juan and in the fighting around Santiago succeeded in writing one of the brightest pages In American his tory. Their deeds would be read by coming generations and would enkin dle a new view of country and an ad miration for true heroism. Lafe Young , editor of the Iowa State Capital , then delivered an address. Mr. Young served with the Rough Riders and his recitation of the regiment's ex perience at Tampa and San Antonio found a responsive echo in the hearts of the assembled Rough Riders. "Tho Fourth of July , " he said , "Is our national Christmas commemorat ing the birth of the nation , but thoRough Rough Riders' celebration should bo its Easter , for it marked the resurrec tion. It remained for the Spanish war to bridge the bloody chasm , to put old glory everywhere , to wind up the late unpleasantness with the now battle hymn of the republic , 'There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight. ' "On the plains of Cuba , " ho con cluded , "when I saw the sons of veter ans marching beneath the flag which their fathers died to save , and the sons of confederates clothed in the same uniform , bearing the same arras and marching under the same flag , and the sons of former slaves accoutered and armed like the others , with the flag above them and the same purpose in their hearts , and 100 native born full- blood Indians aiding the same cause when I saw these I made a vow to high heaven never to be a partisan again and henceforth and forever all Ameri cans should look alike to me. " The regimental parade took place Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The regiment formed at Camp Cochran and marched to the tournament grounds , six blocks away. Colonel Roosevelt rode as a commander , accompanied by a staff of officers. At the tournament grounds Colonel Roosevelt occupied a box reserved for him and the guests of the regiment. As the Rough Rldors passed and ropassed the grandstand in performing their evolutions Colonel Roosevelt stood with bared head. Each troop was preceded by its respective captain , as far as they wore present. The scene was witnessed by fully 10- 000 people. While the review was go ing on rain clouds wore banking heav ily in the north and Chairman Whit- more of the local committee on ar rangements requested the colonel to hurry the movement of the Rough Riders , ostensibly on account of the approaching shower. Roosevelt com plied with the request and In another instant the troopers were standing at attention in front of the grandstand. This was a neat bit of strategy and be fore Colonel Roosevelt could realize why he was being spoken to Hon. Frank Springer , acting on behalf of the people of Now Mexico , began his speech presenting Colonel Roosevelt with a medal. The presentation was a genuine sur prise to Colonel Roosevelt. Mr. Spring er handed the medal to his young daughter , Miss Eva , who pinned it on the lapel of Roosevelt's Rough Rider blouse. The recipient was visibly af fected and responded as .follows : "Judge Springer , and to Miss Spring er , and to you , my fellow Americans of New Mexico , I want to say I cannot express in words how deeply I am touched by what you have done. I prize this gift more than anything else that could have been given to me , com ing as it does , and in the way It does , and from those from whom it comes. For it comes on the anniversary of a day fateful in the annals of the west. Twenty-three years ago Custer rode to h.s death , with his gallant men at the Rosebud , adding his share In the 'win ning of the west ; ' In the upbuilding of the west , which you have all of you upbuilt , bringing up your section level in patriotism , level in highness of pur pose with all that there is In this na tion. I cannot say how glad I have been to come here. I never was in New Mexico before , but I have never felt like a stranger for one moment among you. " NotnhleH on tlio I.aronlu. NEW YORK , Juno 2G.
