in the ceremonies attending the break
ing of the ground today on the site
-of the .world's fair in Forest park.
The'exercises at the park, where the

consisted sof an invocation by Rev. Dr.

Corwin H. Spencer, and President

. gound on the site of the educational
building by the officials of the exposi-
"Jtion company, municipal authorities
and invited guests.
Three historic shovels were used in
the ground breaking. . The first was
, one of iron and oak," loaned by the
Massachusetts state arsenal, Boston,
where it. had been placed, in 1805 as a
relic of early American workmanship.
An exact reproduction of that shovel,
k manufacture of the Louisiana "pur-
., chase, made of "ebony and steel, sil-
ver plated, "was next .put in use. A
veritable relic, an old wooden shovel,
thought to hare been one of the tools
employed by the 200 white miners
. from France, -and the 500 African
slaves from San Domingo, brought
'over by Francis Renault 'in 1718 to
work in the St. Genevieve (Mo.) mines,
. was the third used. It was originally

WASHINGTON. Dec 2L In viewof
the repeated publications of late to
the general effect that Secre:ary Hay
"is about to retire a statement is givtn
with full authority touching this sab-
ject", suhstantialy to the effect that
Secretary Hay does not now contem
plate retirement from the cabinet.
"This statement applies, not only to the
present moment, but to that Indefinite
period fixed by the conclusion of the
negotiations necessary to the construc
tion of an isthmian canal. Also it is
stated with equal positiveness that
authority that Pres'dent Roosevelt has
in the 'strongest terms expressed to
Secretary Hay his earnest desire that
he shall remain in the cabinet, of
which he- forms one of the principal
props. Thus, according to the state
ment, the secretary's inclination and
M the president's .desire run together,
and there is no foundation for the re
ports to the effect that Secretary Hay
"is to leave his post.

. OMAHA. Dml M-Vol T. Ikiwur-
of sod house 'fame, the Nebraska wo
man who jas.de such a success of sell
ing Nebraska .cooking in Nebraska,
prairie home at tae'Paa-Anerican ex
position, is back to her aative heath.
In an interview wifh the Bee she said":
"This fall I had air opportunity to
find out how valuable said nouses and
the 160 acres of 'Nebraska 'land that
surround' them 'are. When. my hus
band and I first settled ia Nebraska
with our . two children 'we took a
claim near Newport, in Rock county,
and erected a little sod hoata It was
a comfortable home, too, and some of
the" happiest days of my 'life were spent
there. We planted' and improved the
place, "but were not contented and sold
the little, claim for $300.- My son, has
always wanted to own the place. This t
fall he tried to buy and the price is
now 6,000. That shows the increase
there has been in the value of Ne
braska land during the last 'twelve
years, for it was just a dozen years
ago that we left the little sod house.
"I have been at a loss frequently to
explain why eastern people are so
much interested in sod houses. I know
why I have such a love for a home of
Nebraska turf, but the hundreds of
thousands of people who visited the
Buffalo exposition seemed to be inter
ested in my little house, tucked away
In a space so small that it could hardly
be seen. The size of my entire space
was thirty-seven feet by seventy-five
feet and the building covered almost
every inch of it. It was all the room
I could, get.
"In that little house thirty-seven
Nebraska men and women were em
ployed during the entire summer and
at times my employes numbered as
high as eighty-six. Some idea cf the
great amount of Nebraska creamed
chicken we sold can be gained from
the fact that I paid nearly 120,000 for
the chickens we used. Some days we
used forty dozens of chickens. Coffee
was bought by us at the rate of 1K)0
pounds a week. It was nothing un
common to use 150 pounds of coffee
per day. Two Omaha men were kept
busy making coffee all the time during
the exposition and sometimes there
were as many as fourteen people draw
ing and serving coffee-
"There was nothing to be had in
my house but the plain cooking that
might be found in any Nebraska home.
Creamed .chicken, ginger bread, baked
beans, brown bread and coffee were ail
that we served. At times the crowds
were so dense in our little sod house
that it seemed as though people must
be trampled under foot. When I went
to Buffalo I told -Mr. Buchanan that
it was my ambition to serve the best
coffee on the grounds and to run my
receipts up to 11.000 a day. I accom
plished both and have only pleasant
recollections of the Pan-American."
A REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION
Letters Scat Out SactetiBC Sack an
Organization.
LINCOLN, Dec 23. Deputy Labor
Commissioner C. E. Watson has sent
out-letters suggesting the organization
of a state association by real estate
dealers. From many responses receiv
ed it .is apparent that the dealers in
the state are ready to take up such
an enterprise, the object in view be
ing to encourage immigration to Ne
braska. It is believed that a majority
would prefer not to admit real estate
dealers in the cities of Lincoln or
Omaha, as such dealers are supposed
to be interested more, particularly in
city property. Farm property is rep
resented more generally by agents liv
ing outside the large cities.
The towns of York, Hastings. Grand
Island and Columbus all have been
mentioned as the probable place of 'the
first meeting. If a meeting is called
it will be held early' in the new year.
The object is to organize a state as
sociation, to promote immigration, dis
cuss papers dealing with land values,
acreage and the yield of crops and
kindred topics.
A dealer in York county writes that
he has secured good results by adver
tising Nebraska in reputable newspa
pers and farm journals in Iowa and
Illinois.
Several farmers from Aledo, .111.,
have already .bought land in York
county and it is reported that. a party
of fifty farmers9 from the same place
will buy tickets forYork county on
March L lie says the Illinois farm
ers who have been in Nebraska now
realize that they can secure as much
profit from Nebraska land as they; can
from Illinois .land valued at 190 and'
flOO an acre

CHICAGO. Dec 20. Chicago Back
ers nave received notice frost D. B.
Salatoa, chief of tke bareau.of aai
nud Industries in. Washington, to the
effect that tke aUcroscopical iaspectioB
of aieat will cease March 1, 1M2. The
aaaouaceBieat kasjuoased tke packers
and NeJeoB .Morris said toaight. that
a'sseeUag will probably be called ia
ike near future to consider what will
done.
"Letters 'hare been received by all
the pork packers in Chicago," said Mr.
Morris, "and it is. my understanding
that the inspection will be abandoned
in all parts of the United States.
"It will work havoc with -the pack
ers. Germany will .not receive a
pound of American, pork ' unless it
bears the tag of the United States
meat inspector. It will not .receive
pork in pieces that weigh less than
nine pounds, and this is already a
hardship to exporters of pork, f Of
course we will oe shut' out of the. Ger
man market altogether if the inspec
tion of pork is abolished. Other
countries now admit our meat with
out the Inspectors' tag, bat. they may
cease to do so when the inspection is
done away with and there is the
chance of receiving poor pork from
unscrupulous packers. - ,-
T cannot see any reason why the
microscopic Inspection Bhould be abol
ished. It does not cost very much and
is of great benefit to every one con
cerned. I. am sure there will be se
rious protests from the packers. I
believe a meeting will be called to
consider the question. The notice
came as a shock to Chicago packers,
all of whom had laughed at the pre-'
vious rumors to "the effect that the
examination would be abolished."

GUTHRIE, O. T., Dec 20. As a re
sult of the intense cold and storms
stockmen figure a 10 per cent loss ia
cattle. This is true covering the..tAO.
territories, the loss being greater on
the western Oklahossa ranges and ia
the new country. The last two days
have been cold, but accompanied by
no blizzards. -This kas given the
stockmen opportunity to provide
means to care for their cattle and to
oollect them on the ranges, where
they had scattered, driven by the
storm in seeking shelter. Plenty of
provision will now be made, as all an

Commissioner S. C. -Bassett is prepar
ing to prosecute manufacturers -and.
dealers who sell vinegar that does not

the largest locomotives ever construct
ed were received ty the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St Paul road yesterday.
In these days of large engines each
fresh consignment received by a rail
road during the past year or two has
had the distinction of being the larg
est. While these monster locomotives
have in a way ceased to excite sur
prise, those just received by the St.
Paul road are remarkable in their di
mensions. For example, the diameter
of the driving wheels is. eighty-four
and one-fourth inches, or one-fourth
of an inch over 6even feet.
Following is a technical description
of the new giants: .
Diameter of driving wheels, 84
inches.
Diameter of compound cylinders, 25
and 15 inches.-
Stroke of cylinders, 28 inches.
Total length of engine, 63 feet II
inches.
Steam capacity of boiler, 200 pounds.
Fire hex, 8 feet "8 inches by 5 feet 3
inches.
Number of flues, in boiler, 330.
Heating surface, 3,215 square feet.
Capacity of tender, 1S.000 pounds of
coal and' 7.0CO gallons of water.
Tfcinks Fas Tims Posstkla..
General. Passenger Agent Miller of
the St. Paul is enthusiastic over the
new engines, alleging that they will
tend to revolutionize schedules and
power. Ho says they will be capable
of hauling fourteen or fifteen heavily
loaded "coaches or sleepers sixty miles
an hour. Grades will be little or no
obstruction to the leviathans.
The locomotives will be put in ser
vice en the limited trains between
Chicago and Milwaukee and between
Chicago and Oinaha
