THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1901. M. Pastctjr, of France, invented a process for kill ing all possible germs in a product, and we use it. After each bottle of Schlitz beer is filled and scaled it is sterilized. This is an extreme precaution. The beer is brewed in extreme cleanliness, cooled in filtered air, then filtered. It seems impossible for a taint of impurity to get to it. Yet we sterilize every bottle. Wc, who know brewing, know the value of purity. We add vastly to the necessary cost of our beer to assure it. You who drink it get the healthful results of our precaution. Your physician knows; ask him. Thone 013. Schllti, 710 South Olh St., Omha.

INTEND TO SEE THAT LAW IS ENFORCED With Appointment of Mull- Pood Ciiiiinilnslotii-r lliirtt Tln-y lime jiii Kinoruoiie.v hmloii to In nlnt on 'I'helr It lu li t . The Nebraska Uuttcr and Kgg Dealers' association nnd tho State Dairymen's as sociation, representing practically nil of the dairy Interests In tho state, will give united support to State Food Commlss loner IlassPtt in his effortg to enforce the law against tho lllegltlmntn sale of Imitation butter and other Imitation dairy products. Twcnty-flvc members of the Iliittcr nnd Kgg Dealers' nssoclatinn met In Omaha Inst night In responso to an emergency cull Issued by tho president and secretary of tho organization nnd with one voice they agreed to stand hy Commissioner Hassctt In any step ho might take toward tho protec tion of the dairy Interests. Mr. Hassctt was appointed food commissioner hy flov ornor Savago yesterday and It Is said that he will tako charge of his ofllco In n few days. Ho will work under tho law enacted hy tho Icglslaturo of 1S97. Lincoln .Mint' VIomk, Morris Krlcnd of Lincoln, representing tho Hcatrlco Creamery company of that placo, sold to n reporter for The Hoe: "Thero Is no reason why tho Inw against the sale of Imitation butter cannot now be enforced. Tho Icglslaturo of 1S97 did not make proper provision for Its enforcement, but this year tho lawmakers icmcdlcd the evil committed two years ngo nnd, so far ns wo know, the law will stand tho test of nny court In tho land. The trouble two years ngo was duo to tho falluro of tho Icg lslaturo to make appropriations for the sal ary of tho commissioner nnd his assistant. "In brief, the state food law provides a penalty for selling colored Imitations nf butter. It will nllow tho sale of butter Inc, hut only In Its natural color. This places both buttor nnd buttcrlno on nn equal footing. Whnt the dairymen object to Is tho sale of buttcrlno or other butter Imi tations that nrc colored to rcKcmhlo In ap pearance tho pure, dairy product. It Is this deceit that wo wnnt to Htamp nut. nnd wo aro of the opinion that wo havo the means nt band to do it with. Tho law also requires restaurants, hotels nnd other pub lic eating houses that servo butter Imita tions to give notice of tho fact by posting signs In n conspicuous plnco setting forth that buttcrluc, or whatever tho Imitation 'may bo called, Is served In tho place." Tho States Dairymen's association will probably follow tho examplo of tho butter nnd egg dealers anil hold n speclnl meeting within tho no.xt few days with n similar purposo In vlow. The olllcers of that as sociation havo already signified their Inten tion of standing back to back of tho food rommlsnloncr in his effort to enforce tho law, but It Is proposed to make tho Influ ence of tho organization still strongor by calling a special meeting for tho purposo of taking united action. InslNt on 1 1 1 u I t to Color. Tho present Indications point to a clash with tho Imitation buttor manufacturers. They object most strenuously to tho re striction against tho uso of coloring and It Is possible proceedings may bo Instituted In the courts to test tho constitutionality of the art, Mr. Dassntt, In his nlllclal capacity, will demand compliance with tho law, and If nny violators aro caught they will bo prosecuted. Ho will have tho moral sup port of every butter and dairy man In the r.tate, and thev together feel they can wield a mighty Influence. CRUSHED UNDER CAR WHEELS C.

Tho speaker brought out several lessons from the early agca ami concluded his nddress with tho declara tion that tho future of tho republic de pends on tho home rulo of Its citizens. In part ho said: "When tho conquering king demanded of tho Spartans fifty of their children as hostages, noble nnd significant was their reply: 'Wo would prefer to glvo you 100 of our distinguished men.' "This noted tho value of tho child to the state and age. Hvory ago has Its trade mark. Geologists havo discovered nnd classified thoso in tho earth. The world ha3 Its historic trademarks and nlso of sculpture, architecture a cabinet of such relics might bo nrrnngod even more ac curate than tho fossils from the geologic periods. Tho distinguishing mark of the ago Is its plans nnd efforts for tho train Ing of childhood and the rescue of those exposed to crime nnd a vicious life. We aro beginning clearly to understand that whllo heretofore society has been directing Its forces nnd agencies to punish crime It Is Infinitely better for the state nnd nn Hon to prevent erlmo nnl save Its ex posr.d members from a crlrqlnnl life, The .well-ordered homo Js the training school for character, tho main defense for our civil and religious institutions, tho main spring of our civilization.

Famous Tho present convulsion In Wall street, following tho violent speculative fever which has raged thero for weeks past, In voluntarily brings to mind the question whether tho country Is to witness n repe tition of tho famous "Black Friday" of thirty-two years ngo. Financial prophets aro divided on the question. Some of tho older wiseacres, such as Russell Sngo, tako a gloomy view of tho present conditions, whllo tho youthful plungers buoyantly de claro that n Bluck Friday Is Impossible, bnBlng their belief on the vastly greater Intcrccts involved, which nro sufficiently strong, united nnd resourceful to prevent tho collapso of tho market. Speculation nnd Inflation of stocks nro responsible for tho prcsont eruption. Not only woro tho masters of transportation Hues playing for suprcmncy, but thousands of people with money to rlBk took gam blers' chances on tho market. Fortunes havo been mndo on tho advance, and for tuues havo been swept nway by fho slumps. Tho original "Black Friday" had Its origin in a gold corner, engineered by Jay Oould. It was confined to n single specu lative product. Now thero aro scores of speculatlvo Btocks Involved In tho ups nnd downs of Wall Btreet. Having thoroughly milked and wrecked tho Krlo rallwny property, Jay Gould and his cllquo began manipulating tho gold market In the spring of 1869. In March of that year tho prlco of gold was 130;;. tho lowest In threo years. Gratiuully tho price wns advanced under the Influence of Btcady buying, until tho middle of-September of that year, when tho clique controlled moro gold thnn thero waa In New York City out bldo of tho "sub-treasury. On Wednesday, September 23, the prlco was 141. On ThUrB day the cllquo held In calls and cash and gold from $50,000,000 to $111,000,000, The" short Interest, made largely under J44, la said to havo been $25,000,000. Tho cllquo settled Its plans on Thursday even ing. It had loaned gold In Immensa sums nt 138. Tho plnn at first was to cull In all this, lock It up and force tho bears to set tle by buying It under the rule. Tho Tenth National bank was to have been used to shift the Immcnso sums, but the appear ance of tho bank examiners unsettled this BLACKBIRD STANDS FIRST Willowkwn Cow Brings the Top figure at South Omtht Sale. IOWA BREEDER IS THE PURCHASER Wlilli' tUv Second liny of tin Siilo .Nut ,iteil for Itreortl-llrenkliiK I'rlt't'N, Jliioli Interest la 12 lni'fil. The sale of Aberdeen-Angus cattle at tho stock yards' sale pavilion, South Omaha,) yesterday, which was a continuation ot mat of tho previous day, was without special Interest In tho wny of extreme prices. Tho top price of the day, and of tho sale, wns J1.055. This was the figure paid by i A. P. Illnnle of Alia, la., for tho cow Blackbird of Wlllowlawn II, 29,570, with a , young bull calf at foot. Tho cow Is I years otd m:d wns consigned to the sale by Edwin Reynolds & Son of Prophetstoun, , 111. From tho standpoint of the export j breeder this cow was ono of the greatest bargains of tho sale. Ono feature of the day's salo that bodes well for Nebraska stock Interests Is that more than 23 per cent of the animals sold went to farmers or breeders of tho stato. Trof. Burnett of tho University of Ne braska was a somewhat conservative bid der on Bonio of the best things offered and succeeded In securing four cows that aro a credit to his Judgment on tho matter of pedigree and Individual quality. The educational value of animals of this sort to tho state Institution, tho professor says, will bo great, and as a business proposi tion no more promising Investment of a llko amount of capital could bo made. Whllo prices on the whole were qulto satisfactory, and in fact better than at any Angus sale held west of the Mississippi river this season, tho avcrago being nbout $230 per head, a number of tho less dc slrnblo of tho bulls went very low, really much below their value. This was be cause the number of bulls In the salo wns greater than tho demands of tho crowd. Tho prices of tho bulla thcrcforo should not bo considered ns bulng a public cxpres ilon of their real value. Tho females wcro nil good, nnd tho prices set upon them by tho buyers wcro not far from actual worth, rather under than otherwise Buyers nnd sellers may both ho pleased with this sale. No lot of breeding cnttlo has this season gone Into n salo ring In n condition more nearly npproachlng Ideal breeding form than these. Tho attendance was made up of about the samo buyers as on tho first day, though n few dropped out nnd left a smnllcr number in tho scats. Everyone expressed ndmiratlou for tho sale pavilion, which for convenience of seller and buyer, comfort and facilities for expediting a sale has no equal. IIpniiHn of Hie Snip.

As It was, the olllclals of tho bank agreed to certify to an unlimited ex tent night nud day. On Thursday It did certify checks amounting to $25,000,000, and on Friday, In splto' of tho presenco of tho examiners, $14,000,000 more. When, during this "Block. Friday" week, gold roso In tho markets from 135 to 165, and tho grand crash camo which Involved tho financial affairs ot Wall strcot In con fusion and brought utter ruin upon hun dreds of Individuals, there wns no mercy shown by tho cllquo, who, having tho en emies firmly in their grasp, mercilessly subjected them to tho squeezing process without a pang of remorse or a sign of feeling, Tho Individual character of Oould was stamped upon this transaction lu tho completeness of Its plan, tho nervo with which It was carried out and the reckless disregard of Individual rights nnd tho wel fare of tho country nt large. Coolly and with perfect deliberation ovcry detail was arranged. Tho ofllco of William Heath & Co. was made tho business headquarters of tho clique, whllo tho Grand Opera house was Its fortified castle. Albert Speycrs, a German broker, then of no great repute, was mado its mouthpleeo In the gold room, while a crowd of lesser lights wore loaded with orders, many of them not covered with proper margins, to buy gold as fast as It was offered and put up tho price to 200 If posslblo and frighten tho bourd Into n settlement. Gold reached 160 nnd for an Instant touched 163. This was tho har vest tlmo for tho clique, and whllo some of Us agents were thus keeping up tho prlco by bawling for bids for millions at 100, Gould was unloading through a dozen different brokers nt fur lower figures, but yet at nn Immcnso profit to himself. He had, however, pushed the price too far, and when the news camo that Secretary Bout well would sell $4,000,000 of gold the price fell oven more suddenly than It had risen, and general ruin and utter confusion fell upon Wall street, to a certain extent even Involving thoso who had been chiefly In strumental In producing It.

Tho confusion and madness was so great that it was .supposed that all the clique had gone down. Of tho times that followed It Is Imposslblo to glvo nn Idea.

Tho prlvnto settlements mado when gold was 160 and 16014 nro estimated at $23,000, 000. Tho Gold Exchange bank, nt n tlmo when hours wcro millions, was overworked nnd announced that no clearances would bo mado that day. This was Its bulletin: "Tho rules of tho clearing department re qulro the payment of nil balances to the bank beforo any pnymonts by tho bank. Owing to tho falluro of several dealers, tho adjustment of accounts has been du layed," When It was publicly known that only tho account of his firm was needed to finish tho clearances for niack Friday, and when upon that account fortunes wcro pending hourly, Gould telegraphed from his barracks at tho Grand opera house, where he was guarded from the mob by tho police, not to send It down.

When tho withheld nccount of Smith, Oould & Martin ruined tho Gold Exchange bank tho gold room wos ono slorm of curses. And with renson, for It was $6,000,000 short, nnd shrewdly suspected Gould of having that amount, waiting to soil It at his price.

The plot Is strikingly unique, nnd Mr. Wetmoro's manner of hnndllng it Is masterful. It is a marine story with a western Inlnnd scene; a yarn told In nauti cal language, its Incidents slldouetted against n background of cattle ranches for tho spars of tho Marietta mirror them selves In nothing moro plastic than tho rolling prairies of Kansas. Mr. Wctmore, who wns formerly city ed itor of the St. Louis Post-Dlspntch, Is now devoting most of his time to writing stories, n work In which his newspaper training serves him In good stead, Imparting a strength nnd directness of style.
