PEERING AT PARIS IN 1900. The Fandom Chlesgo Harreatcr Com pany Received More end Greater Honon than Were Ever Before Accorded no American Exhibitor In the HUtory of BxpoeUloae. America may well feel proud of the Interest which her citisena took in Jtho Faria Exposition and the elaborate ex hibits which were prepared with con summate skill and dlaplayed in a man ner not excelled by any other country. Those of Harvesting Machinery in par ticular were most complete and inter esting. The Deering Harvester Com pany, of Chicago, America's foremost manufacturer of this line of goods, was accorded the position of honor, having contributed more to the advancement of the art of harvesting than any other manufacturer, living or dead, and with a greater array of important inven tions to its credit than any other com pany in the worldv Visitors to the Exposition were prompt to accord the Deering exhibits supreme honors, and it only remained for official mandate to ratify the popu lar verdict, which was done In a man ner as substantial as it was well-merit ed. Each one of the seven Deering ex hibits secured the highest award in its class. In addition to four high decora tions, the Deering Harvester Company received twenty-five awards, or twen ty-nine in all, as follows: Decoration of Officer of the Legion of Honor, Dec oration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Two Decorations of Officer oi Merits Agricole, a Special Certificate of Honor, The Grand Prise, Six Gold Medals, Six Silver Medals and Eleven Bronse Medals, including Deering Col laborator Medals. The Decoration of the Legion of Honor was Instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte when' First Consul in 1802, and is only conferred in recognition of distinguished military or civil achievements. It is the highest dis tinction In the gift of the French Re public. The Decoration of the Merite Agri cole is an honor of but slightly less im portance, which is conferred upon those who have contributed greatly to the advancement of agriculture. An Official Certificate of Honor was accorded the Deering Retrospective Exhibit, which showed the improve ments in harvesting machinery during the past century, and excited the high est praise of the French Government Officials who had entrusted to the Deering Harvester Company the prep aration of this most important exhibit. By special request this exhibit has been presented to the National Mu seum of Arts and Sciences at Paris, where it has become a permanent fea ture of that world-famed institution. The Deering Twine Exhibit and Corn Harvester Exhibit, both of which re ceived the highest awards, have by request of the French Government been presented to the National Agri cultural College of France. There was no field trial, either offi cial or otherwise, in connection with the Paris Exposition, but the most im portant foreign contest the past season was held under the auspices of the Russian Expert Commission at the Governmental Farm of Tomsk, Siberia, August 14th to 18th. All the leading American and European machines par ticipated and were subjected to the most difficult tests by the Government Agriculturist. The Expert Commission awarded the Deering Harvester Com pany the Grand Silver Medal of the Minister of Agriculture and Domain, which was the highest award. The Deering Harvester Works are the largest of their kind in the world, covering eighty-five acres and employ ing 9,000 people. They are equipped with modern automatic machines, many of which perform the labor of from five to fifteen hands. This Company is also the largest manufacturer of Binder Twine in the world, having been first to produce single-strand binder twine, such as is in general use today, making over a third of the product of the entire world. The output of its factory for a single day would tie a band around the earth at the equator, with several thousand miles to spare. The annual production would fill a freight train twenty miles long. Made into a mat two feet wide, it would reach across the American continent from ocean to ocean. Deering machines are known a* LIGHT DRAFT IDEALS, consisting of Binders, Mowers, Reapers, Corn Har vesters, Shredders and Rakes. This company exhibited at the Faris Exposition an Automobile Mower, which attracted much attention, and exhibitions were given with one of these machines in the vicinity of Paris throughout the season.

It Will Probably Be Divided Among Three Different Branches. COMMISSIONERS TO PAN-AMERICAN Aet of tkl Legislator* RopoaUag tho Mutual Bog Iataraae* Law—Nebraska Oil Inapootonblp—Miscellaneous Mat ton Boro aa* Thor*. LINCOLN, Neb., April 6.—The new supreme court commission will prob ably be divided into three distinct branches, each to consist of three members. Assignment of cases will be made by the court proper, which will remain in full possession of the present supreme court rooms. The commission will occupy a series of ante-rooms on the second floor of the building and some of the oral argu ments wll be heard In the senate chamber. It Is presumed the three judges will devote their attention al most exclusively to arguments on mo tions, leaving the preparation of opin ions to the commissioners, subject, of course, to the court’s approval. Governor Dietrich was interviewed by several persons interested in the appointment of the Nebraska commis sioner to the Pan-American exposi tion. There are already live appli cants for the position and still other names are frequently mentioned In connection with the appointment. Among them is Representative Hlb bert, author of the bill creating the office, who Jure strong endorsements and is making a vigorous fight for ihe place. Although the governor has given no intimations, it is under stood that he will select some one who has had experience in managing exhibits, or who has in some way been connected with an exposition. Various ideas for the state’s exhibit at the exposition have been advanced. Some would have the state represent ed by a typical sod house and others believe a small but modern eottags, characteristic of Nebraska’s most up to-date architecture, would make a better showing. Whatever may be the nature of tho building, one thing is settled, and that is that no effort will be spared to show to as good ad vantage as possible the agricultural and educational resources of the state. The legislature enacted few laws which will In any way affect tha in surance Interests of the state. The most important measure of this class is the act repealing the mutual hog Insurance law. The effect of the pass age of this law will be to prevent fu ture organization of these companies, all those heretofore existing having failed or gone out of business. An act to repeal the hail insurance law was introduced, but because one or two of these companies are still do ing business it was soon defeated. louei of Idve Sto<:l£.
