ALBURN , Neb , Jan. 21 ( Special. ) The
Auburn Post has taken the trouble to write
to the different station agents ot the countv
to get the number of barrels of apples
chipped from their respective stations dur
ing the past ) ear and the average prlco
paid. All but two agents have reported ,
Howoand Peru. The figures show that theio
have been ICO carloads of apples shipped
from this county the past ucason , some going
south , but the most going to Iowa , Minnesota
seta , the Dakotra , Colorado and the western
mrt of this state. The cars have averaged
over 500 bushels , the total number of bushels
being .13,120. The prlco paid for the applss
has been from 25 cents to 35 cento per
bushel. Thp total amount of money paid to
the farmers tor their fruit as averaged by
the prlcei paid at the different stations
amounts to $25,265These figures are prob-
-My aa accurate as It is possible to get
I'hem , Some stations reported about Dccsin-
er 1 and others not until January 1 , so that
hero may Imvs been tome apples shipped
tier the report was mado. But It Is nufn-
Icntly accurate to show that the apple crop
f this county Is ono ot considerable Im-
lortanco nt prwent , when not over one-half
if the trees of the county are old enough to
tear , for there have been ) oung apple or-
harrts set out In this county during the
iaat few ) ears. That Nemaha county fruit
ook the first premium at the state fair last
all shows the excellent quality of our fruit.
The Pout has also tried to pet pn estimate
' the small fruit raised in the count ) dui-
ng the past year , but has be ° n unable to
get any satisfactory figures , for tha reason
hat the small fruit has been damaged for
ho past two years by a lick ot rain Just at
ho critical time when the berries needed It
irownvllle. which Is undoubted ! ) the largest
ihlpplng point for small fruit ot any town in
ho county reports 10,000 quarts ot berries ,
1.000 quirts ot clicrrlea , 2,000 quarts of
plums and two tons of grapes
To make a conservative estimate , the bal-
inco of the county shipped as much as
Srownvlllo did. Tliat would make , 30,000
quails of berries , cherries and plums at SVa
contu per quart , which Is below rather than
ibovu the average price , would bring the
alim of small fruit of tha county to $ . ! 510.
Tl-e four to of grapes In the county at
! cents a pound would amount to "U " COO more
Iy adding grapes , berries , cheriies , plumn
ind apples together we have the grand total
f nearly $ ' 30000 as the value of Nemaha
county's fruit fop 1S9B.

a bitter qunnel between the Sam Yup and
See Yup qomponles Little Pete was the
leading spirit of the Sam Yups , composed of
mcrch-mts. . The Sec Yups , comprising the
laboring clement , declared a bojcott against
the Sam Yups , and a war of extermination
commenced ) Minders have been frequent ,
and generally tjio victims were See Yur.s
ThMo crimes were credited to Little Petes
Influence , and thecoc Yups set a price on his
head , $3,000 , being the amount offered , and n
proclamation to that effect was posted In
Chinatown , Little Pete was on his guaid ,
and for months , never went about unpro
tected , liasl night , however , he sent his
bodyguard Our fdr a newspaper while he was
being shaved , and the murderers , who were
on the watch , seized the opportunity and did
thrtr work , ' '
Six Chinamen .have been arrested for the
crime , but ltr is 'extremely ' doubtful , even If
the police have thb right men , If they can.
secure thctr conviction. Little Pete has
many friends , and already they are vowlni ,
vengeance. An rtra forao of police has been
detailed to iralntaln order in Chinatown , but
oven their presence , it Is feared , will not
restrain the warring clans.
Probably the most uncertain man in town
la King Ovvjang , the Chinese vice consul.
Ho knows that be , too , has been marked for
murder and with Chinese otolriam ho Is
calmly awaiting the end. King Owyang Is a
graduate of Yale and for several years ho
has "been Chinese vlco consul at this nort.
Ho has been active In trying to maintain
order in Chinatown and has sided with thu
Sam Yups In the fight against the See Yups
Although no pj'lcs has been publicly set on
Owjans's head , cs In the case of Little Pete ,
It Ja well known that the See Yup men are
attar him and thi't It Iy only a quebtlon of
time vvh'jn they will get him Little Pete
and King Onyang , it Is stated , took a con
tract to break up the See Yups in this city.
Private detectives were hired , who dogged
the Sco Yup men co-istantly and broke ' , nto
their meeting places and destroyed their
furnlturD The See Yups appealed to the
courts and the detectlvea wore enjoined from
further operations.
King Owjang , when asked today what ho
thought his chances were , said"They have
not got mo jet , but they got Little Pole. "
As Little Pete was the meet fearej man in
Chinatown and was uupposcd to bo lnjulncr-
able , there Is every prospect that the vlco
consul wl'l ' soon follow him. Wing Sing and
Chin Poy , the Chinamen arrested last night
have begun to tell conflicting stories and the
police arc sure they liavo tha right men. The
n-on are said to have been Imported to
avenge the murder of Gevv Sing , who was
shot because he owed money to cue of Llttlo
Polo's gambling houses. The Chinese code
domnnds a life for a life and It mal.es no
difference who lo Killed so long as ho b
sufficiently prominent and belongs to the op
posing ode. !

A short time ago complaint was made by
the residents of the Third ward that they
could not get thcli mull when they applied
for It at the postolfice , and the foicc at the
postofilce was roundly cuised on this ac
count. The muttei was rcfcircd to a post-
olllcc inspector who spent a couple of dnjs
In the city last week , and ho decided that
the local officials wore peifeclly right in
refusing pci sons mall whtn thcj lived In
the free delivery district The complaint ,
It seems , was made because clerks at the
office refused to deliver mail at the window
when it was on the route of a carrier. The
Inspector said that persons could either call
nt the office all the time and get their mall.
or else allow the carrier to deliver it all of
the time , and the officials need not bother
themselves nbout hunting for mall matter
after It had been routed and was ready for
delivery by can ler.

TURNERS TO CONSOLIDATE

OMAHA TURNERS TAKE THE INITIATIVE

The firat steps have been taken In n
scheme which may culminate In the con
gregation of all the German turners In the
tranamlsslsalppl country Into one big areo-
clatlon for the particular object ot holding
n grand tournament In this city some tlmo
whllo the exposition Is being held. Th'a
the pet project of the Omaha turnvcrcln ,
which has been working It up for some little
tlmo.
The proposed association la to bo a big
one. It will take In all the societies that
are in existence In the immense territory
lying between the Mlwlsslppl river and the
Hocky mountains. The district west of the
latter limits cannot be entered , but It Is
possible that the association may croas the
Mississippi Into Illinois. This association
Is the goal to which the Omaha Turnvcieln
Is pitching.
The Initial movement was made ycsterda >
at the meeting of the Nebraska Turnbezlrk
In Gcrmanla hall. The meeting was the
ninth In the history of the nssociatlnn , which
Is made up of the Omaha and the South
Side turverelns of this city , the turnvereln
In Plattsmnuth , the one in Fremont , and
the one In Mlllnrd. Fifteen delegates from
these societies were In attendance at the
meeting.
The first step which has been mentioned
as hiving been taken was the paraago of n
resolution favoring the consolidation ot the
Nebraska turnbc7lrk and the Mlssouil Valley
association , which takeIn tlip societies In
oastcin Missouri and western Kansas. This
action was taken after nn cxhauotlvo d's-
cusslon , which was participated In by John
H Hoth ami II Schiocdei of St. Joseph ,
who are two ot the officers ot the Mtaourl
Valley association There officcm were
present at the meeting on the Invitation of
the Omaha turmerrln , vvliloh desired nn ex-
pre slon of opinion fitmi them regarding the
scheme
FAVORABLE TO CONSOLIDATION.
The M'ssourl ' Valley asro-lation olllroru
were favoiablc to the plan and upon tholr
return home will piesent the question of thr-
consolidation of the- two bodies to the so
cieties which form the momberablp of their
association. The Nebraska tuinbe/lrk will
also have to put the question to the bodies
forming t'ip ' association for a vote If the
consolidation should be brought about , tin-
new association would ha\e about a dozen
turmerelns us its membership
If the societies In both associations vote
In favor of the consolidation a meeting will
be held In St Joseph during the filflt week
In Apill for the- purpose of consolidation
rhh meeting will be made up of delegates
fiom all the turnverelns In the" two districts
aa at pie'ent formed. It either association
should vote against the consolidation the
iNcbirnki turnbc7lrk will hold Ita annual
moctincr In this city again next jear.
If the consolidation should 1)3 ) made as pio-
posiM the Omaha turnvereln will bo In n
petition to still'further the scheme Cor
respondence will be at once begun looking to
the consolidation ot the South Dakota aaso
clatlon and the Kansas
body with the new
ns.suintlon. | Then stens would bo at oncn
taken to the end that the associations in
the moro distant states may be brought into
the fold. It Is a big scheme , but the local
turners are dotrrmlned that It shall bo con
summated If efort and work on their part
can bring It about.
BIG ANNUAL TOURNAMENT
This matter was the principal piece of busi
ness which the bcrlrk considered at the meet
ing yesterday , but other matters of Impor
tance were also considered. Among them It
was determined that the annual turnvoreln
of the Nebraska district tiliall bo held In this
city Just before or Just after the national
tournament , vvMch will be held In San Fran
cisco this year. This time was chosen for
the purpose of getting the eastern turners to
compete in the Nebraska tournament whll
they are on their -vay cither to 01 from the
national tournament. By this means the
Nebraska tournament will be made a much
blfger affair than It usually Is No fixed date
for the tournament could bo sot , because
the days of the national tournament have
not yet been determined upon It In moio
than probable that it will bs held some time
during June.
The Omaha turnvereln was again elected
the executive committee to elect the execu
tive officers of the turnb-zlrk. It had the same
honor last year , and according to custom re
ceived It a second time. The election will be
hold at the regular meeting of the verelu on
the s.cond Monday In next month.
The bozlrk opened Its business sess'lon yes
terday morn ng , adjourned for a dinner served
in the parlors of the % creln , and convened
again In th * afternoon. The final adjourn
ment was taken abiut the nil Idle of the after
noon , and the delegates were entcitalned the
lest of the day and cvemlng In the parlors
They received further entertainment on Sat
urday night , when the thirtieth annlversaiy
of the founding of the Omaha turnvereln was

these habits may be one ot such construe

him , but they Imagine thej can usp oorfeu
( for instance ) without nny bad oftoct for
"thousands of people do. " they rrason.
So the weak feeling 01 stomnch trouble , or
headache , Is clmigcd one day to the hot
sun ; then e\t day taking- pains to avoid the
sun ; thu next day taking- pains to avoid the
lon # as It is not the sun "It must bp tome-
thlng I have eaten ; It can't bo coffee. "
Then follows some test on Ule-t , and stl 1
the trouble continues ; everv Known re tson
will he thought ot and experimented with ,
but they will not leave off thu coltee , for
tl.cy like it too well. To such It may bo
suggested that mat lets be looked squarely
In thu face. If > ou keep on with llttlo
ails caused by some unnatural cause you
will surely come down Elck unless the
active cause Is removed. Coffee contains
poisonous alkaloids In small quantities ,
which can bo withstood by a perfectly
healthy adult , but -which seriously affect
these who are a llttlo below par , physically ,
or children.
To such , Postum Cereal comes at a boon ;
It has the color of Java coffee , creams up
like thick Mocha and has a delicious fra-
gtancc and taste ; It Is made by the I'ostum
Ccreil Co , Llm , Battle Creek. Mich.
When tasted critically It will bo found to
have a gialn flavor that Is crisp ami pleas
ant. It Is Htrlctly a food drink being
made entirely of cereals ( vvhc.it , etc )
I'ostum , the grain coffee , will nourish and
fatten adults nml children and can be used
at every meal with dc'iliJcd advantage.
"Just as good" as I'ostum Cereal are
words used to defraud thepublic. .
