Stranger Attempt to Force Open the Door of Her Apartments Burkett Is Well Kectivea By the People of - louisvllle-Siuj-tli auU Butler Speak at Waterman Hall. "Help! Murder! rolice!" These were the startling cries, pre ceded by two reports from a revolver, which were heard by almost everybody who chanced to bo in the vicinity of Fifth and Main 6treets at 1 o'clock this morning1. The cries came from one of the windows above Fred Egen bergor's saloon and wore uttered by Mrs. Howard Crawford. In a very few moments the night rtolina and several citizens were on the scene,and she proceeded to tell them a tale of woe, whicb was to the effect that a stranger had been prowling around in the hallway trying to affect an entrance into her room. She had shot at the intruder through the door, but as someone noticed him sneak down the alley soon after the shooting occurred it was evident that the mid night visitor escaped without even be ing wounded. As the night police bave had a num ber of "late" culls from Mrs. Crawford, thev wore inclined to eive very little credenco to her etory.and 6he branded them as cowards for not maiiine a hastjr examination of the place, as sho was sure the intruder was hiding be hind the door. A Boarch through the alley, however, where tho man was last seen, failed to throw any light upon the mystery. Tho most plausible con clusion reached by the searchers was that he had returned homo. Mrs. Crawford says that tho man urowled around the building the two previous nights. IMMENSE CKOWO UKEETS Bl'RKKTI. The Hall at Loulnville Filled and Many are Turned Away. Louisville, Nob., Oct. 26.

Big Crowd Hears Matt Oerlng Make Ills First Republican Speech. The large crowd of Plattsmouth peo ple who went to Omaha yesterday to hear Matthew Gering make his first republican speech were not disap pointed in tbeleast,and returned home very well pleased with the address Speaking of the meeting, the Omaha correspondent of the State Journal says: "lion. Matthew Gering of Platts mouth mado the first republican epeech of his life tonight at Washing ton hall. It was made to an assembly of republicans, which with a fair com plement of democrats, filled the body of the hall. About one hundred of the prominent republicans of Plattsmouth were seated in a croup in the center of the hall. "'Let the galled jade wince; our withers are unwrung,' were the bor rowed words with which the speaker opened. 'The fore, lines he continued, forcefulneFS of these 'never impressed ts.n .u mo eu viviui v no riuua mo nuiiuuuic- J ment of my departure from the go- my called principles of democracy, aud I have, I trust not inappropriately, used them because of the bitterness and venom which my action has aroused fpom my former political friends. "In its application to eltner re ligion or politics,' be continued, 'apostacv is a vice or a virtue, accord ing to the situation from which and by whom it is viewed, "lI was a democrat; I am a republi can,' said Mr. Gering, and the an nouncoment was greeted with cheers, 'Mr. giving his reason for becoming a republican and speaking of trusts, Mr Gering showed that all that had been done to curb them has been dono by republicans. Both parties declared against trusts in 1SS3 and the plank in the republican platform was drafted by McKinley. Soon afterwards the Sherman law was passes and repub licans sought its enforcement until the supremo court hold that the federal gouernment only had power to control trusts when they were engaged in in terstate commerce. Then the republi cans took steps to secure an amend ment to tho constitution against which every democrat in tho house but seven voted " 'If tho intrepid soldier and states man had lobbied among his partisan admirers in tho house,' said ho, 'oae- half as ardently in behalf of the amendment as ho did in the senate to securo ratiGcation of the treaty with Spain it would have passed.' "The speaker paid his respects to the ice trust and sarcastically pictured Bryan sitting at the $50 banquot, be tween Croker and Van Wyck, two of its bencGciaries. "Militarism was denominated the comedy of errors of this campaign, its our pose being to inflame the Germans, in which purpose it will fail. Impcr ialism was depicted as the shadow dance of the, campaign and the con duct of the president toward tho Fill pin os was commended. "Mr. Gering closed his address of two hours and a half with an eloquent peroration, in which he pictured a ship coming into port through a heavy storm with a calm and self-possessed pilot at its helm, and concluded dra matically in the words: " The time is November 6. 1900; the ship is America; the pilot is William McKinley.'" IS AN AUTIIOlfi AND - ACTOR. Clay Clement In "The New Dominion" and "A Southern Gentleman." A Southern Gentleman," to be played here on Tuesday night,October 30, at tho I'armele theatre, is a piece written by Mr. Clement, as is also "The New Dominion," and one which has created a great stir in the theatri cal world. Mr. Clement has played "The Now Dominion" and "A Southern Gentle man" fifteen times alternately in Omaha, and always to crowded houses, The Beo,commenting on Mr. Clement's production, has this to say: A Southern Gentleman,' as played hero last night by Mr. Clay Clement, not only proves him to be one of our greatest actors, but author as well Trie play is filled with humor and pathos, and is free from the low grade situations so commonly seen on the stage at this age. Mr. Clement has shown his great ability as actor and author and is always groeted with crowded houses here." The local managers would have you to understand that these are produc tions that could not bo secured except on an opening night, when prices for seats are above the ordinary, so those who are unable to secure seats for the first night will have an opportunity to see something equally as good on Tuos- uay night.

New Industry Will Be of Ureat Benefit to the Farmers la That Neljchborhootl, As It FarnUhes a Ready Market For Milk Plant Is Mow Ready For Busi ness Other Notes. To the Editor of The News: MURRAY, Oct. 26. As previously advertised, the creamery at this placo was finished and ready for business on October 17, and the event was cole brated by a grand opening on that date. The program consisted of a free dinner to all comers, including coffee furnished by the promoters and stock- holders of the institution; a display of the machinery, in and out of motion; an explanation and exhibition of the different processes through which the milk nasand interesting talks bv ( " . . . . me promoiers nu e.xperw upon umrv- ing in general, and on the testing of milk. The first thing on the program wa the separation of 1,000 pounds of milk, which was viewed with a great deal of interest bv all present and pronounced a great success After dinner was served, some time was spent by the visitors in social chat and an inspection of the machinery and apparatus. Then followed the tests of milk, which were conducted by Mr. Harding of the Hygeia Creamery company of Omaha, who explained the work fully and gave a very interesting talk on the creamery business and dairying generally. The milk for testing was furnished by Frank Young, sr., and consisted of a test of whole milk, separated milk and handskimmed milk. Mr. Young, by the way, has a spring-house on his place with a four inch vein of pure cold water flowing around his milk pans, which everyone knows is the very best method for sep arating cream from milk by the grav ity plan, and is something which very few farmers in Nebraska can boast of Mr. Young stated, furthermore, that great pains were taken in skimming the milk. Yet tbe test showed that it still contained three-fifths of one pound of butter fat to every 100 pounds of milk, and Mr. Harding pronounced this a very small amount as compared with the average hand-skimmed milk The separated milk showed absolutely no sign of butter fat, but Mr. Harding informed us that with test bottles graduated down to hundredths of 1 per cent, would snow mat mere was still a very small portion of butter fat in tho separated milk. The whole milk test showed three and four-fifths pounds of butter fat to each 100 pounds of milk, and was declared to bo a very high tost for milk at this soson of the j ear. The tests were made with a Babcock tester ana consisted of mixing with the mi'.k nearly an equal quantity of sulphuric acid in long necked bottles, which are placed in the machine and revolved at a high rate of speed for several minutes, after which they are taken out and a certain amount of water added to the mixture. They are then returned to the machine and once more revolved for several minutes at a high rate of speed, after which they are once more removed, with the butter fat completely separated and standing up plainly on the top of the mixture, the graduations on the necks of the. bottles showing exactly the amount of butter fat contained in 100 pounds of milk. Mr. Harding was followed by Mr. Cutler, solicitor for the Hygeia com pany and organizer of the creamery company at this place. In answer to the question, "What is the value of the separated milk for feeding pur- Mr. Cutler declared that the public, generally, entertained a very much mistaken notion on this point, in asmuch as It was thought that after the cream was separated the food ele ments were all gone. He explained that the solids of the milk, the casein or cheese-making material, and nearly all of the sugar were still in it, and only tbe fatty or heat-producing con stituents had been removed; that all of tne tissue-producing materials were present in the separated milk, and that it was only necessary to add a lit tie grain or other heat-producing food in order to make it as valuable for feeding as before being separated Asked if the separated milk would make cheese, he rep'icd that of course lt wouldt and not oa,y make che39etbul nearly aa much as the whole milk. Asked as to what kinds of feed were best to mix with the separated milk, he replied that oil cake, flax seed meal or eweet corn were the best. lie also Biaiea mat ivaiir corn was very ex cellent. Asked as to what kind of sweet corn was best, he recommended the variety known as Evergreen sweet corn. In answer to a Question aa to the value of sorgbam cane, he replied that ho claesed it as third, and that it was a very valuable feed, but that he placed Evergreen swoet corn as first ur ibb reason mat couia be cut uo and fed while ereon. and also cured I ea8ilyin the shape of fodder for winter use,wnicn could be fed with verv little wase, since the stock would eat it uo 8loCK ad all. Kafllr corn he placed "ccona in ine list on account of its t . " abundant foliage. In conclusion he reminded the farm era and stockholders that the creamery business was now up to them: that it could be made to live and prosper, or it could be starved to death; that a creamery, like a young calf, would live and do well providing you would feed it plenty of good fresh milk, but that without the - milk it would surely starve; that they had an institution that not only the stockholders, but the town and surrounding country should justly feel proud of; that an investment 1 in a growing horse or steer involved a constant risk throughout its entire life, during all which time it yields no cash return, while the cow, through the medium of the creamery, could be made to yield a 6pot cash return every day, and an average of 100 per cent per annum of profit, which made her one of the very best investments a farmer could possibly make. Thanking his audience for their attendance and at tention, he closed by inviting them to make themselves at home in the creamery building "and ask all the questions they saw fit. The machinery includes the follow ing: One 3,0C0 pounds DeLavel sep arator, one platform scale, one weigh- I ing can, one twin 300 gallons milk vat, I one double steam milk pump,one steam water pump, one milk sterilizer, (the milk is all sterilized before being given back to the farmers) one fourteen horse power boiler and one automatic milk weigher. YV hen a farmer brings milk to the crearaery,it is weighed and tested and then he Is given a check in the form of a scale weicht which is l l I i a , .ttv, ttionnm.l uuliUD,cu w vu.ruu ,uo u-u. her of pounds of milk brought by him. Taking this around to the side of the building ho places the weight check in the automatic weigher, when it goes to work and places in his cans exactly the amount of milk he is entitled to. and, with his money in his pocket, re turns to his home rejoicing, with nearly as much milk in his cans as he brought to tbe factory. The plant was furnished and put in by the Creamery l'ackage company of Omaha, the work being done by F. H. Ileid of Omaha, who also started the machinery and instructed the stock holders how to manage the same. Mr. Ileid thoroughly understands his busi ness, is a good conversationalist and during his stay in Murray made many friends who will always be glad to meet him. He goes tomorrow to the western part of the state to start an other plant. The writer failed to get a full list of the officers and stockholders of the local plant, but tbe fact that the com pany is headed by William Dull as president and such men as Charles Bocdeker, Lloyd Gnpen, Frank Young, sr., rJ. A. iturlon, L.oe u.unam, wavia Young, Samuel Latta and many other prominent farmers of this vicinity aro stockholders, would seem to give the institution a very solid appearance,and it ought to bo a success. John Linder milk will operate the plant for the company, and besides being not only a a young man of well known ability, but also a stockholder, of course it goes without saying that it will be run on the square. Altogether the institution opens under very auspicious circumstances, and Murray is to bo congratulated on the acquisition of her creamery. About two hundred persons were pres ent at the opening, and all expressed themselves a9 well pleased with all they saw and heard. MOB AND MILITIA CLASH. Tn(r-Tl :' Pornoni Injnred.

Coroner Fisher was summoned and an inquest held. The Jury ex onerated the docors. Mrs. Koepke lived sixteen miles south of Mapleton and leaves a family of six children. KILLED BY HIS PLAYMATES.
