Beatrice Cr»»e»«ry Company.
The new building ©( the Beatrice
Creamery company, probably the larg
est and best equipped creamery estab
lishment In the United States and
haps In the world, Bays a dispatch
from that place, will be thrown open
for the inspection of the public to
morrow. This company suffered se
vere loss from Ore a day less than a
year ago and the opening now will be
a sort of celebration and jollflcation.
The Beatrice Creamery company
was organized in 1894 as a corporation
with Messrs. Haskell and Bosworth as
prAclpal and controlling stockholders.
At that time the office of the company
was located in Beatrice, but the su
perior advantages of Lincoln in the
wayof better railroad facilities Induced
the company to move the butter muk
ing plant to Lincoln.
Temporary quarters were secured in
a building on North Tenth street, but
the business of the company expanded
so rapidly that another change was
necessary. The large Fitzgerald build
ing at the foot of P street was leased
and remodeled, hited with improved
machinery and arranged expressly for :
the concern. A month or so later the |
building was entirely destroyed by
fire, together with all of the costly
machinery. The debris was cleared
away and the construction of the new
building was commenced about eight
months ago. Both the lot and the
building are now owned by the com
pany.
Nearly eighty skimluing stations are
operated In connection with the plant
In this city. At these stations milk
is purchased from farmers, put
through machine separators, the cream
sent to Lincoln and the milk return
ed to the original owner. Farmers re
alize about 2 cents per pound more
by selling milk to the creamery than
by making the butter themselves, and
at the same time they are relieved of
the necessary labor of churning. The
output of the Beatrice Creamery com
pany amounts to about 14,000 pounds
of butter daily, or about five carloads
per week. In addition to the manu
facture of buter the firm also deals ex
tensively in eggs, shipping from two
and a half or three carfoads of candled
eggs per week. The plant and build
ing are estimated to be worth about
*60,000.
The skimming stations operated in
connection with the creamery are
located in Nebraska. Kansas and Col
orado. Nearly all of them are owned
by private or separate companies, but
are directly controlled bv the Beatrice
company. One man is employed at
each station and at a few there are sev
eral men regularly emplo>ed.
Nebraska Crop Condition*.
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, June 20.—The United States
department of agriculture climate and
crop 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 daily tempera
ture 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 anil Burt counties, rang
ing from 4 to nearly 7 inches. In
most of the western cou^ies the rain
fall was less than a quarter of an inch.
The continued dry w-eather 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 prematurely. In
some counties the grass Is drying up.
The past week has been exceptional
ly favorable to crops in most of the
eastern counties. In the counties
where the heaviest rainfalls occurred
corn suffered considerably from wash
ing. continued wret soil and lack of
cultivation. Wheat and oats are head
ing out anti rye is beginning to ripen.
Corn is backward and small in all
sections, but stand is good and the crop
healthy. It has not yet been injured
by the drought in southwestern coun
ties, anti has made fine growth in east
ern couHties during the past week.
Generally the corn is free from weeds,
and the second cultivation is well ad
vanced. But 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 time and the crop is light. Sugar
beets are growing well

ST. PAUL, June 2C.—A Helena,
Mont., special to the Pioneer Press
says:
United States Marshal Woolman has
advices from Beaverhead county Indi
cating that the two suspects captured
there Tuesday by under sheriffs are
the men Implicated In the Union Pa
cific robbery, for whose capture a re
ward of $3,000 is offered.
Deputy United States Marshal Hush
of Utah, who has seen the Roberts
brothers, notorious highwaymen, for
whom the government has been on the
lookout since the robbery of the Hlg
Plney postofflee in Uintah county,
Wyoming, and one of the postal clerks
by the name of Ditrick, who was
aboard the train that was robber at
Wilcox, Wyoming, arrived at Dillon
yesterday. They proceeded at once to
the county Jail and both identified the
men
The deputy marshal la certain that
they are Roberts brothers, while the
postal clerk is certain that they tie
longed to the gang that held up the >
train.
Marshal Hodaell of Wyoming today
telegraphed Marshal Woolman that the
men are positively identified and that
the Big Plney warrants be sent at
once.
Marshal Woolman also received a
message from Under Sheriff Moore of
Beaverhead county stating that the
Wyoming men who knew Roberts
brothers would arrive in Dillon tomor
row morning, fully able to identify
them. As soon as the Identification
is further strengthened the men will
be given an early hearing at Dillon
before the United States commissioner
for the purpose of identification. That
official will nrobably hold them to the
federal court of Wyoming. Then ap
plication will be made for a warrant
of removal. Sheriff Dunn of Carbon
county, who is leading a posse of three
men up the Stinking Water after six
suspects, haa not been heard from
since last Wednesday, and it is feared
he may have been overcome by super
ior numbers.
ALL DEPENDS ON ILLINOIS
Mayor HarrUon of Chicago Kay* It can
Make or Break Bryan.
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 he
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 pre
sent a united front next year. The
letter says:
"I agree thoroughly with you that
Governor Altgeld 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 me as an individual. The protest
against Messrs. Altgeld and Devlin is
made by Mr. Gahan. who is national
committeeman of the democratic party
of the state of Illinois, and who had
been persistently ignored In all party
matters for the past two years.
“I’nless the regular organization of
Illinois receives proper recognition I
personally would despair of success in
carrying the state of Illinois for the
national ticket of 1S00. Mr. Bryan will
undoubtedly be the democratic nomi
nee at that time. With the state of
Illinois casting its electoral vote for
him he would probably be seated as
the successor of President McKinley,
but Illinois cunnot be expected to give
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
trattor."
hx-Uovernor Altgeld declares that
the railroads will be placed under Are
by the democrat!*' national conven
tion, “It Is my belief,” said the ex
governor. “that If ti e c* nventlon 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 had to transact
business on the same terms as their
competitors, which do not belong to
a trust, they would quickly disinte
grate and go to pieces."

CZAR’S PEACE PROPOSAL,
He Ask* Only That lor tbe Prricnl In
creasing nf Armament Cease.
THE HAGUE, June 26 —M. de 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. Rut, he added, he
was of the opinion that if a stand
still could he agreed upon a reduction
would soon come of Itself. A11 the
powers, he explained, had conferred
with the czar relative to the immense
evils of armed peace, and he, M. de
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 GlUinsky 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 peace
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 fig
ure.
The speeches and the resolution
w-ere ordered to be printed and circu
lated and the discussion was adjourned
until Monday.
In spite of the refusal of Archmcd
Iteza Hey of the young Turks party to
fight a duel with Rechid Bey, secre
tary of Turkham Pasha, head of the
Turkish delegation at the peace con
ference, Ammoghian, an Armenian,
who was to have been one of the
speakers at the meeting of the young
Turks party, has written a letter to
the Vaterland, 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 conier
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 Holls of the American
delegation, alluding to the German at
titude. said:
"This mater Is much exaggerated.
Active negotiations took place, hut
Germany la 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 ftate that no
one is able to say they object to the
arbitration scheme; that when the
proposal has been finally shaped they
will examine it and only then give in
if the wording of the scheme contains
points not covered by their lnsti ac
tions.”
THROWS PARTY TO THE DOGS.
New Frenrh Cabinet. Appeal* to All to
Hally to the Support of Country.
PARIS, June 28 —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 Gil
lifet. has also srnt 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 1 beg you not
to forget that I am responsible also
for the chiefs of the army, the same as
they are responsible to me for alt
which occurs within their commands. |

morial service was the first thing. on
the Hough Riders’ reunion program
Sunday. It was held at 11 o'clock in
the morning at the Duncan opera
house and ltev. Thomas A. 1 xspII.
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 lie read by
coming generations and would enkin
dle a new view of country und an ad
miration for true heroism.
Lafe Young, editor of the Iowa State
Capital, then delivered an address. Mr.
Young served with thp Rough Riders
and his recitation of the regiment's ex
perience at Tampa and San Anf^nlo
found a responsive echo In the hearts
of the assembled Rough Riders.
"The Fourth of July,” he said, "is
our national Christmas commemorat
ing the birth of the nation, but the
Rough Riders' celebration should be
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 new battle
hymn of the republic, 'There'll Re a
Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight.’

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 samo
uniform, bearing the same arms and
marching under the same flag, and tho
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 horn full
blood Indians aiding the same cause—
whdb 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 Riders
passed and repassed the grandstand in
performing their evolutions Colonel
Roosevelt stood with bared head. Each
troop was preceded by its respective
captain, as far as they were present.
The scene was witnessed by fully 10,
000 people. While the review was go
ing on rain clouds were hanking 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
piled with the request and in another
instant the troopers were standing at
attention In front of the grandstand.
This was a neat hit of strategy and bp
fore Colonel Roosevelt could realize
why he was being spoken to Hon.
Frank Springer, acting on behalf of
the people of New 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 nlnned it on
the lapel of Roosevelt's Rough Rider
blouse. The recipient was visibly af
fected and responded aR follows:
"Judge Springer, and to Miss Spring
er, and to you, ray 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 uh it does, and in the wav 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 flu1 west;’ in the upbuilding of
the west, which you have all of you
upbuilt, bringing up vour section level
in patriotism, level in highness of pur
pose with all that there is tn 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."
