ouanttity of creosote, representing that

she retired to her room and swallowed
several drops of the poison. She was

cian. Senator Martderson says that the
Nebraska building at the World's fail
is a very creditable one. This talk
about it being a miserable and ungainly
piece of architecture and very much in
ferior to other state buildings on th"
grounds is all a mistake. The building
looks verj- well and no Ncbraskan need
feel ashamed of it. We have made one
mistake as a state, however, at the
fair, in not placing on exhibition mori
of the things manufactured in Ne
braska. The Beatrice Chautauqua assembly
will hold its annual session in its beau
tiful home on the banks of the rivei
Blue, June 13 to '2X S tuated in the
most beautiful park in the stale, on the
edge of a leading and thriving city,
with splendid railway facilities and
with a magnificent history behind it,
the Chautauqua is certain to become the
most prosperous Chautauqua in all the
west. Dr. W. Davidson, who sucrc;s
fully managed the assembly in IV.i'iand
1S01, has been recalled to the superin
tendence. The little 3-year-old boy of Wes Tur
ner, near Clay Center, wandered from
the house Thursday evening just before
supper and could not be found when
his mother went to look for him. When
Mr. Turner came from the field he
joined in the search for the lot one
with no better success. The neighbors
were then called out and the search
continued until past midnight, when
the little truant was discovered in the
hog lot in a trough fast asleep and un
harmed, although there were swine in
the inclosurc.
The committee of the Interstate Re

The Lincoln Journal says that the
showing made bjj the railroad ticket
offices in the sale of world's fair tickets
is decidedly poor when compared with
what they contemplated it would be.
As a matter of fact it appears from the
daily departures that more people are
going west than east. This, to a great
extent, can be attributed to the fact
that the fear of cholera with most peo
ple is not a fancy but a reality and the
mountains and the west arc supposed
to have a pure atmosphere not "tainted
with corruption."'
Henry Konig of Hall county was in
the employ of Mrs. Kay. a widow who
manages a farm nine miles southwest
of Grand Island. Last week she sent
him to Alda with a load of grain. A
little boy was sent with him and the
boy was told to inform the grain buyer
not to give Konig any cash. The mes
sage was either not delivered or its eon

THE NEW BREAD RECEIPT.
A Correctiou
Wc deMre to call attention to a tyr-.
graphical error in the receipt published'
W tlia r'.n;i o -tnw wool's HCO for '
making the new and popular bread
with Roval Baking Powder instead of
yeast. The correct receipt requires;
two teaspoonfuls of Royal uaKing
Pow dcr to to one qttart of flour, instead
of oK tcaspoonful as incorrectlj
printed-. . .
This View bread has met with siicrl
great favor, on.accdunt of theea'Sc witli
which it is tuadc", as well ds because of
its superlative and wholesome quhties,
that we much regret if our error shall
have caused any diminution of its pop
ularity. If any of out- readers hiis"
been disappointed through the error m
thc printed receipt, we trust she will
try it again, for she will eventually be
pleased with the result.
Following is the correct receipt in
full. Cut it out Htid preserve it. To
nlalHi oae loaf: One quart Horn, 1 tea,
spoonful salt, half a tcaspoonful sugar,
2 heaping teaspoonfuls Royal Baking
Powder, piece" of cold' boiled potato
s'vc of large hen's egg, and water. Sift
together thoroughly Hour, salt, sugar,
and baking powder; rub ii the" ptatd;
adil sufiieient water to mix smotithly
and rapidly into a stiff batter, about as
soft as for pound cake; about .a pint of
water to a cptart of flbur vwll be requir
ed more tir less according to the brand
and quality of the Hour used. Do not
make a stiff dough, like yeast bread.
Pour the batter into a greased pan,
1-4x8 inches and 4 inches deep, filling
about half full. The loaf will rise to
fill the pan when baked. Bake in very
hot oven 45 minutes, placing paper over
first 15 minutes baking, to prevent

once. Do not mix with milk.

WESTERN PAtS-NGEK RATES
The Atchinson Announces
a New Tariff
Simplifications.
Cnicxoo, May i.6. Passenarer Trmtttc
Manager White of the Atchlnson sent
word to Chairman Caldwell of the
Western Passenger Association that
next Monday morninc the Atchin6on
would put into ofltect the following
rates: Round trip from Missouri Rivef
to Chicago, 817.60; round trip from
Denver to Chicago, $37.50. "the pres- '
cnt rate of 820 from Coloradd common
points to Missouri River points will be
sustained. i
Mr. White's letter declares that in
view of the considerate treatment re
ceived by the Atchison from the Kan
sas City-St. Louis lines during the long
controversy over Colorado rates, the
Atch-'son road believes that these lines
should determine the proper r i
duction in St Louis rates, consequent ,
upon the notice issued by the Atchi- (
son. The Atchison therefore says it
will make a rate from Colorado com
mon points to St. Louts of $33. ThiB ,
mt i in nil f iir of thft SQO-rnlind trin
rate to Kansas City, added to $12, the
current round-trip rate between Kan

says the rates from other points will
be figured out as rapidly as possible.
Kiirlits of Heir m iiowKnicul 'Patents
Washington, May 26. The atten
tion of Secretary Hoke Smith has been
tailed to the recent decision in the
United States Supreme Court in the
Bernier case, in which it was held that
in the death of a homestead entryman
leavintr no widow, but both adult and
minor heirs, patent should issue to all
heirs equally and not to the minor
heirs to the exclusion of the
adults. This is contrary to the uni
form ruling of the general land office,
and the commissioner asks whether
the practice will be changed to con
form with the Supreme Court decision.
The secretary answers in the affirma
ative and holds that all cases in con
flict with the decision referred to must
be considered as overruled. Here
after all patents issued must conform
to this decision.

President Mr. Buchanan is a warm
personal friend of Governor Boies and
is earnestly backed by him. The Gov

offered the portfolio now held by Mr.
Morton, but declined it for more
reasons than one. Another aspirant
for the assistant secretaryship who has
the hearty indorsement at least of his
own State is S. Wellford Corbin of Vir

Fpstairs there are a 100 pretty things
to catch the eye. Art and nature are
here combined and the effect is pleas
ing. The idea is carried throughout.
An Omaha artist has caught it beauti
fully in abitof painting that represents
a brace of ducks hung upon the barn
door. The game is done to perfection.
As you stand away ten or fifteen feet
you would swear the frame of that barn
door and thoss hinges could never have
been done more true to nature Look
cloer and 3011 will find it is nature
tho barn door frame is wood. The art
ist has painted the door itself so truly
that the color. cannot be distinguished
except by close s'-rutiny. Here again
is corn given the most exquisite exhibi
tion. There is a massive table all sur
faced with corn a work of art The
surface is glass, and beneath it in has
relief, done with corn, wheat and other
cereals, a faithful and accurate repro
duction of the state seal with the mot
to, "Equality Refore the Law,'' en
graved on the glass surface The con
tribution is from Cumingcounty. There
is also a plain table representing Web
ster county with colors of corn for the
various townships, streams and rail
roads. Dawson contributes a huge
panel of "Old Glory," made of red,
white and blue corn. On the walls are
hung numerous paintings pastorials
and studies in floriculture all the work
of Nebraska artists. Fremont has sent
a handsome sunflower panel and clock.
There is a massive carved oak table
from Norfolk, the design representing
the sugar beet industry. There is a
terra eotte antelope from the county
bearing the name of that animal.
The southwest is called "Cody's cor
ner." In the space set apart for him
"Buffalo Bill" will spread himself. He
has several stuffed buffaloes of mag
nificent proportions, a crane measuring
six feet from tip to tip and an Indian
tepee In this latter, which is com
pletely furnished in the aboriginal
style, Colonel Cody will make a display
of a score or more of the trophies of
several Indian wars, collected during
his scouting exploits. There will be
everything from a string of glass beads
to the gory scalp of a hated paleface
This is the show that will do as much
toward attracting the visitor as any
thing else in the building.
There are scores more of displays
about the large room in the second
storj. The Women's Christian Tem
perance union has a little nook picked
out, where it displays a number of its
banners, trophies and its motto: "We
Dare to Do Right" The Women's
Christian Temperance union displays a
historic banner of linen woven by
Pennsylvania women a century ago.
The wood for the frame was taken from
old Fort Calhoun and the buttons mak
ing the fringe were worn by soldiers
between 1S21 and ls3t". The banner
was designed and executed by Mrs. O.
M. Leader of Chadron. Around the
walls also are hung photographs of
many of the public buildings through
out the state A case of minerals which
has not yet arrived will be shown.
The hoard is also planning" to build u
sod house on this floor. There will be
several cabinets containing bronzes and
"erauiicg.
A f-dsicr; more delight fjUlJitAlc parlor
than the one Set apUrt fir wbnien could
scarcely be imagined nor hardly exe
cuted. Perhaps the most pleasing ob
ject in hero is the beautiful carved
cherry fireplace and mantel, the
work of Mrs. Nesbltt of Lincoln, and
the contribution of Pawnee county. It
is finished wilh mahogany. The design
is delicately executed suriflower, corn
tind wheat, and the flitting woodbine.
The frieze is In the h'eat design of a
small sunflower. Mafcy tf the" counties

busts from tho sculpture of Miss Alice

such as raiiroi-i securities and many
others. Id'-pHd. ..

opened on Sunday'. Adopted-
A strong resolution wa3 pas-vd con
demning the enforcement of the Geary
exclusion act: first, on the ground that
it discriminates against some foreign

and, second, on the ground that
it will cause retaliation and the hind

RATES MUST BE REDUCED.
So day lllrector Feck to tho NewT!
Railroad Officials.
New York. May 24. Ferdinand W
Peck, president of the Chicago World's
Fair directory, says that one object of
Ins visit to this city was to confer witn
railway men with reference to reduced I
rates 10 imcagu 111 um jmiiicuuiti
future.
I have seen a number of railway
officials within the last two or three
days," he said, -'and I sm confident '
that the roads will make d reduced
rate to Chicago before long. I shall j
try to impress it on them that it is for I
the advantage of the roads to do so. j
"The companies are pretty certain '
o give reduced rates later, but the 1
ooner they put them into effect tho j
better. The fair is ready for visitors
now and I believe the people are ready
to go to it. As soon as the crowd
begins to come and sec it no furthet
advertisement of it will be necessary (
It will commend itself to all visitor
and they will tell their neighbors about
it. A reduced rate of fare at once will
bring a crowd."

Tiffin, Ohio, May 24. The immense
plant of the Beatty Glass Works Fac
tory is for the most part in ruins. The
loss aggregates nearly 9200,000 and GoO
persons are thrown out of employ
ment The fire had its origin in the
oil compressing room, oil being used
as fuel in connection with natural gas )
and was probably caused by spon
taneous combustion. Within five
minutes the entire rear and upper
portions of the immense plant were in
flames and the employes were com-
polled to flee for their lives, leaving
their clothing and tools. Many es
caped from upper windows and but
two were injured, Peter Linden and

Ex-Scref drf f the Treasnry Falls for a
Large AtHtrnftt.
Fostoiua, O., May 27. llid business
world was startled yesterday morning1
by the news that ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Foster had failed and that he
had turned his heavy unancfal interests,
in an embarrassd condition, over" lo an
assignee The assignee is J. B. Gormley,
a prominent banker of Bucyms, and a
warm friend of Mr. Foster. The lia
bilities are' given out by Mr. Foster as
being SGOO.flOO and the assets as about
the same. He made thtf assignment
duririg the night and the paper were
filed at Tiffin by ?lr, Scott, his attor
ney. At an early hour yesterday morn
ing the bank of Foster & Co. was closed
on an attachment of $3,200, in favor of
the S. A. Harter SlHling company, and
the wholesale grocery til Dnv?s & Fos
ter was closed on an attachment for
?1,200, in favor of T. D. Brown. The
presence ttf the, sheriff was the first ink
ling many people had that there was
something wroifg tind.it soon leaked
out that an assignment liuo been made
The news spread rapidly and soon the
streets were filled with people, eager to
learn tho extent of the calamity.
The assignment of Secretary Foster
was the signal for the assignment of a
number of concerns in which he was in
terested. Thd trass and iron works
was one of the c6heern t assign. Re
sides Mr. Foster, Mr. Portz was ne of
the owiier ei rhis' concern. The lia
bilities and assets ot Jin company are
included with the personal statement
of the secretary. The Malbourg. Cal
cined and Croker Window Glass compa
ny, the three concerns that have been
fcackefl by Mr. Foster, also failed.

A rtitt was- made on the Mechanics
Savings bank tin's- morning as soon as
its doors were opened, but with SS0.000
in currency piled upon the earner's
desk, the demands of all frightened de
positors wcro promptly met and none
turned ft way.
The loss to Fostoria is a great one,
and one that will require considerable
time to' rccorer front, but great as it is,
the regret on this account in no way
lessens the regret alttt sympathy ex
pressed for the ex-secretary, it i con
ceded that his generosity and public
sp-rit ha been the indirect cause of his
financial downfall, as he was ever ready
to lend a helping tiafd.
The assignment of Davis &. F"ter,
the wholesale grocers, will probaL-Iy bn
tile "!ir-ct cause of the failure of a
number of grc'crr'ry concerns throughout
the country. It 'is said that the firm
has 125,000 of unpaid accounts and
botes due it.

of its last "tt-itenient were about Sl'y

wtrrn j.OH,, stlll Unable to Agree on
World's Fair i:nte.
Ciiicaoo, 111., May 'ST. Affairs in the
Western Passenger association are now
jn a worse muddle than they have been !
at any time since the discussion of
World's fait- wfin rates begun. This
morning President Cable of the Bock 1
Island and Vice President Harris of the
Burlington wired President Reinhart of
the Atchison, asking for a delay in put- j
ting in the reduced rates from Colorado
and the Missouri river, which, it was
announced, would go into effe-t Mon- '
day. They proposed that President '
Newell of the Lake Shore. President
Hughitt of the Northwestern and Pres
ident Fish of the Iowa Central, or otic
of tlfe three, be appointed to arbitra'e ,
the matter. President Koinhart replied 1
that it would be folly to arbitrate, but
for the sake of harmony he would
ngree to let Mr. Hughitt decide it.
Mr. IfiiL'liitt was out of the city today.
n1 his answer, to the proposition could
not be obtained. If he agrees to act at
' once, the reduced rates will be held in ,
abeyance for a short time. It is not ex- !
pceieu mat ir. iiugniu win agree 10 1
arbitrate the difficulty until both sides j
agree to abide Unquestionably by his
decision.
The meeting of general passenger
agents today made no progress what- '
ever and an adjournment was taken
until Monday, when action will depend !
on President Hughitt's decision to act
as arbitrator. A significant vote was
taken on the proposition to extend the
jurisdiction of the Western Passenger
association over trans-Missouri terri-
tory. All lines voted in favor of it If
j they had voted this way
a montn ago
thcir present trouble would not now be
upon them.
Tremendous Railroad Speed. I
PouQHKEKrsiE, N. Y., May 27. The
"Exposition Flyer," the fast train of
the New York Central & Hudson River
railroad, especially .constructed for the
first-class passenger traffic between i
New York and Chicago, made a prelim
inary run this morning, preparatory to
the regular trips, which will begin on
Sunday next. ,
It is the intention of the road to have
this train cover the distance between
New York and Chicago in twenty hours,
cutting off four hours from the fastest '
time yet made between the two cities.
This will require an average speed of
fifty-one miles per hour, which will be
faster than any time made on any road
in the country for a long distance. A
novel feature of the train is the system
of buffers used. These buffers extend
' almost the entire width of the ears and
are ctrivcn togetner oy nyuraulic pres
sure, lhey hold the whole tram per
fectly rigid and prevent all oscillation.
The train pulled out of the Grand Cen
tral station at 10:20 a. m. The riding
was far easier than it often is on a
horse car and, though the speed was
tremendous, it was not at all noticea
ble on the train.

The Briggs case comes up continually

The Russians are jealous of the su-

impression made by them they are send- ,
ing three more powerful vessels to the ,
United States.
