tlio county scat , was organized from'tho reset
vntlon occupied by the Pawnee Indians fron
IBM to Ib'it , ut which time they were moyei
to the Indian territory. It is llftccn by thlrt ;
miles in extent , nnd the Loup river , whicl
runs through Its. whole length , receives nti
mcrous tributaries from the north , the chic
of them being the Cedar , on which Fullertor
is situated. Tills is ono Of the most bcautifu
streams in Nebraska. It'has a constant bed ;
of water , fed by springs and running over i
Continuous bed of rock. The outlook fron
$ ho lofty bluffs above Fullerton is really tnng
nlllccfnt. The river , thrco bund red foot below
is seen curving continually in the most bcauti
ful manner. Its banks are covered will
green trees , and along its shores thousands o
cattle are feeding.

Fullerton on Wednesday1 was n rcpresentn

together with Messrs. Dickinson , Tib-

read , Messrs. Peters and Slaughter of the
United States service , D. C. Brooks ;
representing TUB Bf.E.wIth Messrs. Sane nnd
Foley of tlio Union Pacific , who joined the
jmrty at Columbus. There were also Super

, I' . ' Stocking of Dcnison and Joseph Simpson
of Sioux Cltv , la. ; .r. L. Means of Grand Is
land , A. L. Blxby , W. S. Becker nnd J. M.
Heater of Columbus , and A. E. Cady of St.
. Paul , together with Messrs. Wiltso , Critcli-
Held and Brady , tlio citizens' committee of
Fullerton. ft
The party on reaching Fullerton was taUen
through the new mill , which lias Just been
completed at a cost of $47,000 , $7.000 of which
was contributed by citizens of Fullerton.
The mill is four stories in height , and con
tains all tlio latest machinery found in tlio
mills of Minneapolis. It has a capacity ot
1M ) barrels of Hour , and 300 barrels of meal
per day. The water power of the stream was
lirst improved in Ib&l. when a two-run mill
was built. In 1SS4 tins was sold , and the
mill which was Tiestroycd in July last was
built. The Cedar riverwithin two miles dis
tance above Fullerton , presents four other
water powers fully equal to that which has
been improved here. There is everywhere
the same mngncsian limestone bottom , and
the same deep , rapid and continuous current
( lowing over It. Tlio llumo now in use docs
not utilize one-third of thopowcr of the river ,
and of this third the now mill utilizes no
moro than one-tenth. The llumo islOO feet
in length , and is 11) feet wide , nnd 7 feet in
depth. The piles beneath the mill were
driven some sixlecn feet inlo the soft rock ,
and the spaces are tilled in with walls of
stone which can bo taken away without im
pairing the support of tlio building. The
Hood which carried away the old mill was
caused by a cloud burst , and the great vol
ume of water cut through the neck of ground
" 150 feet in width , carrying away all the im
provements , turning the mill completely over
and breaking or warping the machinery ,
which was mostly now.
After a highly enjoyable afternoon spent In
visiting tlio mill and in n drive along Iho
bluffs , the party at 8 o'clock lust ovvnluir ' " -
sumoiuit in u uirgu nan , wntcli was beauti
fully decorated for the occasion. Besides the
visiting delegation some sixty citizens of
Fullerton participated in tlio banquet , which
was most enioyublo throughout.
Hon. George D. Mclklojohn , on behalf of
the citizens of Fullerton , welcomed the vis
itors not only socially but as business men
representing the great interests of trade and
manufactures. After full Justice had been
done to the repast , which was certainly n
most elegant as well as edible one , the toastmaster -
master announced the regular toasts. Hon.
H. II. Benson , responding to that of "Tho
Growth of Nebraska , " said Unit no man ever
blushed with shame when ho said , "I hail
from the state of Nebraska. " Where wo
stand tonight was within fifteen years in the
midst of the Great American desert , which
lnts retreated as does the mirage of tlio trav
elers. The free homes , the white school houses
und the waving fields of grain are now
seen on every hand. Mr. Brad Slaughter , in
responding to "Tito Settlement of Nance
tlie .character , intelligence and thrift of its
citizens was that no man could obtain a foot
hold lu the beginning without having some
money with which to buy the land , which
cost rroin ft to jflO nn acre. They were now
men well to do , intelligent and of the best
class of citizens of tlio state. Largely devoted
to stock raising ajul the heavy industries ,
they now wish for help to develop the water
power , in which is scon a certain and largo
fi return for capital and skill , Hon. C. C. Brady
in response to the toast "Tho Resources of
Nuncu County , " said that If his hearers
would double tlio llgures given In a
pamphlet issued two years ago , the
result would bo truthful. Wo liavo
370,000 acres of ns line land as the sun shines
upon. Our products the past year would
freight a train fifty miles in length. "Ne
braska us a Manufacturing State , " was re
sponded to by Thomas Kilpatrick of Omaha ,
who suid that ho was a merchant , and that
merchandising nnd manufacturing were
closely allied. Nebraska has the reputation
of being the best state In the union , and that
estimate is Just , Judging either by her corn or
by her people. Men with natural advant
ages to assist tliem can always command
assistance , and the citizens of Fullerton in
the rearing of this line now mill Illustrate
that fact. Hon. J. N. Peters , in response to
the toast "Tho Water Power of tlio Lower
Cedar , " said that homo manufacture was a
thing of great importance. Wo pro
duce raw materials that should bo
manufactured at homo. To build
up communities the laboring man
, mu.it.haYo steady employment. It costs for
100-horso power by steam In Nobroska fully
$10XX , ( ) n year. Mir. Peters wont into stalls-
tics , which ahowcd that there is hero at Fullerton -
lorton f270,000 , worth of horse power now goIng -
Ing to wusta every year. "Tho Future of
Fullerton" was responded to in an admirable
speech by Mr. Chauneoy Wiltso. Hucm-
phasl/ed what Mr. Meikoljohn had said , in
regard to the presence of so many of the
leading capitalists and business men of
Omaha , and snoko cf the obligations of Fullerton
lorton to the Union Paclllo railroad company.
Wo sat hero by ourselves , ho said , and saw
our mill go to destruction. A commlttco went
to Omaha to consult with tlio ofllcors of the
railroad , and wo shall never forget the ro-
conlioii accorded to us. Mr. Tib-
bltts extended the same friendship and
aid which wohtul received from the lamented
Wurruck. Wo fully appreciate the attentions
wo have received. Here where wo sit tonight
was the favorite war ground of the savages ,
from whoso presence wo are only eleven
years removed. Ho had recently conversed
with u prominent citizen of Hastings , who
, said that It that city had the water power of
Cedar river it would have 110,000 people
within Uvo scars. Hoferrlng to u visit with
Mr. Nichols years ago MrWiltso quoted that
gentleman as saying that tlio time would
soon comowhcn the clatter of machinery
would bo henra all along tlio Cedar , moved by
waU-r power that would cost nothing. Fullerton -
ton will soon become a thriving city , made so
by agriculture and thu Improvement of
1U water power. Mr. Wlltso's address was
udinlrublo throughout , and was received at
many imluts with great upnlauso. Ou "Tho
Educational Interests of Nebraska" Hon ,
George B. Lane spoke eloquently and with
full Information. After a speech by Hen.
James Tanner on "Our Mill Couipanv , " In

Mr. Sampson of Sioux City In reply to th
toast , "Western Finances , " predicted tlm
the west will soon.control the lltmnccs of tin
country ; their financial resources sro rlslni
rapidly to the front In the United States. Mr
Klltmtrlck rising , said : "Wo ha vo. hero to

grist mills , slaughtering and lumbtufltfgai Mr
W. V. Morse of Omaha. In resKinso | to ' cat

nothing which the Union Pacific could d <
which It has not done , or will not do. Presi
dent Adams and his subordinates nro warn
friends of this state. Mr. Ames , the largest
holder of Union Pacific sto.ck , is the target
owner of Improved property perhaps h

Speaking ot the resources of St. Paul , he
stated that last year 3-KK ) loaded cars wen

The Case of Frank Clark.
YOIIK , Neb , , May 31. To the Editor of

day you printed a reference to the downfall
of Frank Clark of tills city , charging ills ruin
to the saloons and his loss of property to tlio
drink habit which had been fostered in the
very place ho had burglarized of liquors.
This story evidently emanated from the law
yer who has appealed Clark's case to the supreme
premo court. There are no saloons in York ,
norhavo there boon any In years. Clark
broke into u drug store and robbed it be
cause , u ho swore ou the witness ustaull , the
druggist would not sell to him , Tlio
gists of York have a good reputation for th
manner In which they conduct their bus
ness. Our citizens -.cel that you should niak
a proper correction In regard to tier saloons.

SUKItING I'HOTKCTION.
Nebraska ItttslncHi Men AVant to Out
legislate Dead-Beats.
It was uftor 10 o'clock when ProSldcn
Webster called the business men's conven
tlon to order yesterday mom Ing. Several nov
delegates put In an appearance. Among them
wore II. II. Smith of Tokamah , D. Harrlng
ton of Wayne , and Gus Pcgun of Alma.
E. A. Lambert relieved Mr. Wobatcr nite
presided during the session ,
The commlttco on credits made a report tc
the effect that every merchant should have r
commercial directory nnd become n membei
of the association. The directory company' . '
system of rating was endorsed as the most
successful and satisfactory that could bo rec
ommended. Merchants were advised to lei
tholr customers know that there was such i :
system of rating In existence.
As nn aid to this company In making collec
tions , it was suggested that each branch en
dorse to it a man capable of attending to that
part of the business.
Mr. Clark of Madison said that when he
was leaving homo to attend till * convention ,
nn Albion editor wamcd him to ho careful , an
ho thought the movement an anti-farmers'
alllanco scheme. A prohibitionist had alsc
advised him to bo careful , ns it was nOthlii"
moro nor loss than on anti-prohibition plot.
Ho had discovered , however , that the organi
zation was built more on the anti-dcadbeat
order than any thing else , and to that effect ho
would inform his people.
The discussion of this subject" took a wide
range. The report was adopted.
The committee ou trade interest * ) recom
mended that all branches bo urged to work ,
through their towns and city authorities , to
make use of the present laws in abating such
nuisances us peddlers and hucksters.
The coinmltteo also recommended lliat
when it came to the knowledge of any mem
ber of a local branch that any wholesale firm
had sold toft consumer bo should at once re
port the fact to the general secretary. It
should then bo his duty to investigate and , if
tlio facts warranted , lo notify all branch sec
retaries. In turn , they might notify tlie
members , and it was recommended that re
tail dealers should withdraw their patronage
from such wholesale firms.
This report elicited a great 'deal of dis
cussion. Some of ihc delegates tho\i ) lit the
plan proposed smacked too much nt the boy
cott and could not bo enforced. Others
thought there was no bovcott feature in it.
"Wo make no pledges , " said one , "not to
buy of a house selling to consumers , but
simply recommend that our members give
them the 'go-by. ' "
"Tho coal and lumber dealers associations1
said another delegate , "have similar systems
und they work them successfully. Ho'wevcr ,
they have n rule that any wholesale firm
caught retailing shall pay a certain fee for
violating it. "
Tffo report was adopted and referred to the
legislative committee. A resolution also from
the irado committee , recommending that the
association patronage Nebraska jobbers ,
quality , price and terms being tire same , was
adopted.
The legislative committee , through its
chairman , Louis Ileimrod , reported thai it
would prepare or cause to bo prepared , such
bills as would give the association members u
better law for collecting debts and do all in
its power to have 'such bills passed by the
next legislature.
Discussion wo * then diverted to tho. subject
of exemption , on which n bill had already
been prepared. Three amendments were of
fered. Ono of those is that the clause cx-
ompting sixty days -wages be modified and
made to read "wages lo the amount of WO ; "
another , that the clanso providing that not
more than Uvo executions shall bu levied at
sue time against a debtor bo changed to read ,
"threo executions. "
The argument advanced in favor of chang
ing the sixty-day feature to a stated amount ,
was based on the ground that man receiving
largo wages could not then lake advantage of
in exemption that worked a hardship proba-
ely to the man whoso earnings were small.
In other words , the plan most desired was
5iio that would give the merchants power to
xillect 10 per cent of a man's wages on neccs-
iarics.
J. S. Bishop asserted that the association
imd two things before it which should bo
.irged in the legislature. Ono of
these ho said "is the repeal of that damnable.
jamishmont law of " 69 , which makes crimi
nals out of good men , und the other is the en
actment of a 10 per cent law. "
The next report was from the committee
in resolutions , through its chairman , Di P.
Itolfo , and was as follows :
Kosolvi-d , That , the tlianUs of this associa
tion are duo to President Martin , Vlco 1'resl-

LlOII.Dr. . Roberts said there were thrco modes of
iltcration ; one , thfxt of proposal after the
ommittoo had considered n year.
The second mode was in section 3. If onc-
: hird of the presbyteries propose alterations
.n . either doctrinal or disciplinary standards ,
.ho assembly must formulate and transmit
: hu proposed alterations to the presbyteries
for approval.
The third mode is stated in section 0 , which
wovides for alterations by n simple majority
) f voles of the presbyteries , All members o'f
: he committee were unanimous , having made
concessions on both sides. The desire for
: iavmony was shown at the beginning of the
issembly in the election of a moderator , and
Mr. Roberts wished thoadoptlon of the report
: onld bo equally unanimous.
Dr. Puttou said that these of the committee
, vho were opppsed to the report at the begin-
iing agreed in supporting this report , which
oncerns tlio right of tlio presbytery to over-
, uro the assembly and the need of two-thirds
'or alteration.
In answer to a question Dr. Hoberts said
, ho Westminister edict could not be dropped
jy a two-thirds vole.
The report was then adopted with but one
llsscnting vote.
Dr. Patton of Princeton , chairman of the
ommiUco for canvassing the answers of the
iresbyturies on thu question of revision , rend
ils report. There were KM that desired re-
; islon and ( JS that did not. The others do-
: llned to answer. Many desired
t , but stipulated that the Calvinis-
.lc character of the standard should
lot bo altered. Considerable discussion
iroso as to the classification of the presby-
eries. Albany refused to answer as to the
pvision , but desired u now creed to bo used
itde by side with the old.
Dr. McCroelcor niudo the nftlrmatlvo 1K !

Dr , Pattern explained the reason for the
classification adopted by the majority.
Dr. E. Cole of Albany protested against
the classification of that presbytery us refus
ing to vote for revision.
I udgo Thornton ot San Francisco , of the

Over Two Hundred Delegates I'rcflcn

WASIIINOXOX , Mny 31. The United State
Brewers' association hero began Its nnnini
convention with over two hundred delegate
present from all parts of the United States
Thels J. Lcfens of Chicago , president of th
association , presided and made the cpculn
address ,
Chairman Lefens in Ids address said h
was glad to bo able to state that the trad
and tlio interests of brewers was in a mor
hopeful state than n year ago. Ho referral
to the result of the prohibition clectloi
in Pennsylvania and added : "By ni
means , however , has the tlmo com
when wo can relax our vigilance
for what our opponents have lost in intlucnc <
with the people , ns shown by all recent clcc
lions where prohibitory laws wore submitted
to bo people , they nro trying to regain ii
Washington liy the introductlcti of bills in
tended to accomplish through national clmn
ncls what the people of the states refused t <
endorse. " Inclosing Mr. Lcfcns called at
tention to the subject of a rcprcsentatlvt
brewing parade at the world's fair in ISM.
The report of the board of trustees was r
very lengthy one and deals with legislation
pending before congress affecting the Inter
ests of brewers. On this point it says there
never was a time in the history of the associa
tion when so many attempts have been made
to injure the brewing industry by means
which do not require the sanction of tlio people
ple and would not obtain it if they could be
submitted ton vote.
The report speaks of the bill for the ap
polntment of a commission for the Investiga
tion of the liquor truftlo and the efforts of the
brewers' committee to have it amended "in n
manner proiujsing a fair , impartial and com
petent investigation. "
The report says tlio trustees nro endeavor
ing to convince the committee on ways and
means that any increase of the tariff on hops.
barley , malt , rice , corks , etc. , would
bo unjustilinblo from an economic point ol
view , but have failed to accomplish more than
the curtailing of the rates of increase orig
inally proposed.
In respect to the adulteration of beer and
the bill against them now pending in con
gress , the report says : "This is the proper
tlmo and opportunity to repeat that/ individ
ually and as representatives of tills associa
tion wo condemn adulteration and fully m > -
prove mid support any law designed to sup
press and punish it. "

SARATOGA , N. Y. , May 31. In the Presby
terian general assembly today a resolution
urging congress to pass the bill now before it
for the investigation of tlio effects of intoxi
cating liquors was adopted. A resolution
isking congress to pass nn amendment to tno
interstate commerce bill that will enable the
nates to prohibit or restrict the liquor trnfllc
was referred to the committed on temper-
unco.
llev. Dr. Burrill delivered p lengthy report
an foreign missions. The total receipts of
the board during the year were 794OGG from
sum-dies , S291,7H ! from Sabbath schools , $30-
[ MW from womens boards , $280,3Sr > from lega
cies and $73,130 from miscellaneous sources.
There was a decrease of § 58,749 compared
ivith last year , and there is
it present a deilcit of $00.375.
\n urgent appeal was made to the
issembly to study the report and say why
Lho great falling off in receipts has occurred.
1'ho strong synods have not done as well in
proportion as the weaker ones. Hev. Dr.
Elllnwood , tlio secretary , advised a system of
weekly subscriptions , and several other ad-
It-esses wcro , made. Tlio recommendations of
tlio board were adopted.
When tlio consideration of the publication
liourd matter came up Dr. Agnew of the
Imnrd said there hud been con-
ilderablo misapprehension on the
nart of the special committee. At
iho flrst meeting culled only three members
3f tlio publication board could bo present nnd
, ho special commlttco sat ( is an inquisition
md refused to give the data on which it based
is charges. Simmons sent a circular all over
, ho land asking questions , tlio answers to
A'hieh were to bo considered confidential , as
; o the prevailing dissatisfaction with the
loiird. "Wo assured Simmons tiiat wo did
lot propose to vote as a Joint committee , and
: hat we would not overrule ids commlttco by
nir greater Humbert. The special committee
ms misunderstood us and this bus prevented
-onndcnce. In its report are many mlsrepre-
icntatioim. doubtless unintentional. Wo never
iaw it until the meeting of tlio assembly. "
Uegnrdlng thu statement of the spc-
: inl committee that a responsible
Inn lias offered to do the work for a less
irico than tlio board docs , Dr. Agnew said :
'Tho board tried all that twelve years ago ,
vhen it gave the work to the thrco lowest
> iddcrs. Slnco then llftccn responsible Philu-
lelphla houses , huvo bid for the work , and
n each case bid higher than wo are now pay-
ng. "
