LINCOLN' , Oct. 2 . ( Special.-The ) dli-
covcry has teen made that It Is Senator Al
len that Is telling the nowipuper men that
the buying of buttcrlne Is cxclua.vdv a re
publican crime. The folliwris 'tticr ' hai
Just been received from a gentleman la
Hurt county :
LYONS , Neb. . OU. 22. To the Editor of
The I3eo : At several points In the state It
Is reported that Senator Alton has uiatle the
stptemont In public meeting * that the oleo
margarine purchased by the populist of-
llelals was contracted for In advance by the
republican officials and that the republicans
tire responsible for buying thla product anil
not the populist officials as claimed. Is Sen
ator Allen's statement correct ?
The statement ! Is not correct , as Allen well
knows. The butterlnc was bought by the
popocratlc officials on entirely new contracts
nnd thpy did not bpsln to take fhc stuff
until they had been In ofllco six months ,
which gave thorn time to get on good terms
with tbo great packing houses where the
imitation butter Is manufactured. It was In
the last week of June , 1S97 , that the popo-
i-iotn commenced t'ho whole-snip purchase of
btitterlne , as the records In the state audi
tor's office show.
Alien ami the Storlc Yard * .
That Penator Allen Is himself not unfa
miliar with the packing houses and stock
yards Is proven by L'ho records of the last
populist state convention , where ho nctcd
the leading part In getting the stock yards
plank knocked out of the party platform. In
order that' the Voters may refresh their
memories on this performance the original
plank , adopted by the convention without ! a
dissenting vote , Is again printed , being as
follows ;
The clock yards of South Omaha arc noees-
mirlly patronised by the people of this
htate. Its business Is public and aiot pri
vate. The Stork Yardc company charges
extortionate prices for the PCI vices It ron-
ileir. and for the. grain and hay It supplies.
It has Issued millions of dollars of watered
Mork , on which the people are compelled to
pay Interest ; It refuses relief ; It bribes
legislatures ; It plunders our people und has
kcrured Injunrtion agalnwt all laws which
seek to prevent Its unjust exactions. It Is
a giant monopoly created by captains of In-
diiflry.
For these reasons we favor the ownership
of the stock yards at South Omaha by the
Male Itself , Mich ownership to be ecurcd
cither by the purchase of the present yard
tit It * , actual value or the establishment of
another stock yard ; and If the state cannot
necuro the ownership of the present stock
yard at Its actual value , then we favor a
raw levying an occupation tax against the
Stock Yard company of a definite gross
xiim , which shall ho cnti.il to all the in
terest paid on the watered sto k of the
company. The wtock growers of Nebraska
must no longer bo compelled to pay divi
dends on llftltlous capital which represents
i olhing but fraud and dlahoncsty.
This radical plank In the platform sounds
fls If It might have been urltton by Llou-
ti-nant ( Jovrrnor Harris , whr has .since de
clared publicly that thu stock yards people
ple organized the legislature and that they
dictated the nominations at the late lamented
populist convention. It Is known , however
that the platform was really written bj
Mike Harrington of O'Neill.

< n.lrd of'tnptUe'leiacVlfa'd' ; { the conven
tion and another third were asleep In their
i-ratR , Senator Alleu moved that the part >
platform bo recommitted for the purpose o
making some minor changes. When the
committee brought the document back am
presented It to the sleepy convention the
radical stock yards plank had btcn stricken
out and the following substituted :
We demand a speedy determination of the
legation Involving the validity of the stock
> atds act , regulating charges for feed ant
yardage , to the end that It may be iloier-
mlned If t-ald art Is Ineffectual what steps
thould be taken to reduce salil yards to
talc ownership.
Iloth Wr < - In ( hiDrill. .
There has been much discussion eve
the question as to who were the zull' :
parties In the manipulation of the p'.ocl
yards plank. The fact that It was don
shortly after Poynter had been made th
nominee of the convention lead ? to the In
evltable conclusion that both Pouilor all
Allen were In the deal. Disclosures mad
nlnre that time showing the close connectlo
between the popocratic leaders and th
paeklnc house aud s'.ock yards manager
uliow that there were no Innocent partlc
aside from the country delegates who sa
asleep lu their feats and allowed the dea
to go through.
The records of that convention also shoi
the sentiments of Senator Allen on the an
nexatlon Question am ) will bo Interestln
reading to these who have hcaid some c
his recent spccche.v Ho furnished cople
of parts of bin convention speech to th
sret's that night mid the following Is ni
I'Xtraict as published In the newspapers th
next morning :
The populists suggested thtv.ir polic ;
adopted bv the national administration. Mei
of all politics are ( it the front , and th
officers who Itad the armies arc not all re
publicans. The men nru not partUaut * bu

lions -yet remain unsolved. The populls

bank * . The issuance of war bonds wa
unnecessary , t'p to six or ocven years ag
the national debt had been greatly reducci !
hut the corporate money power secured It
expansion by the Issuance of bonds unde
Cleveland's administration.
H then went on with a dl cusslon of th
bond question , and the direct quotation fror
bin speech begins as follows :
A demand will be made on Sn.iln to fin
her flag lu Cuba. Torte Rico , the Philip
pities , the Ladronos and the Caroline. " , an
that nil these colonies will be made free an

The morning newspaper account of hi
speech then continue * : "He declared him

would bu paid by the outlying colonies , an
charged that the annexation scheme wj

In prospect this fall , but he Is confident <
victory. "
Any of these extracts and nnny othei
Just as Interesting can bo fr.ua 1 In the UK
of tbo morning newspapers of August .1 un j

number of times since then , but on tl
manipulation of the stock ranis plank tl ! :

News comes In of ome speeches belt
made by Secretary Porter In which th
great reformer makes coma statement <
Known to be untrue. He * ays that stn

Up to the time rhe prpullsts took charge
I
the < ( Ute house. At a meeting lu Clay county ,
the other day he was called donn by rt gen .
tlcman who said he knew of his own knol J
i-dgo that warrants were at ! a premium In
ISM. Porter exprcs. ed his Ignorance of any
such condition , but promised to look the
matter up. He has gone right on making
the game stateraenw. however.
It U well known that warrants went up tea
a premium In thu winter of ISM. sometimes
reaching as hlRh as 2 per cent. During the
legislative session there wus considerable
rivalry among the money lenders as to who
should get the warrants and at every pay
day of the legislative session agents from
the brokers awarmed the state house and
made bids for the warrant' * . During the
gesMon the premium was 14 per cent most
of the time , but went up to 2 per cent on
warrants of over MOO In amount , nvcry
populist speaker knows thin to bo true , but
none of them admit It. They also know
that at the present time any Intm-i-bearing ;
bonds or warrants are at a premium and
that they themselves buy county bonds nt a
premium , using the funds of the state to
make the purchase ? . They know thar they
have had no more to do with the bringing
of warrants to n premium than they have
had In increasing HIP demand for nil kinds of
egotlablo interest-bearing paper. .iut they
re too buay fooling the people to admit It.

while at least one-half of the audience was

ment was produced by the speakers that
would lead any sensible person to believe
that there was any other object sought by
the populists except the utter overthrow of
the republican party and the MeKlnlcy ad
ministration. Mr. Keckley took especial pains
to point out that all republicans -were cor

180S. for the purpose of enabling this Board
of Education to borrow $250,000 to bo ex

the county of Douglas , In the state of Ne
braska.
Smut * of the OllJl'lMlon * .
As l ordinarily the case In the board
meetings , there were a number ot objections
to tin * report. One > was advanced by Member
Johnson to the effect that the suras set
aside for the grammar1 schools were not
'
large enough , but this dl'i not meet will
any consideration. '
Member Hess objected to-the designation
ot the corner of Twelfth and Pacific streets
as the site for the Paclflo school. He as-
hcrted that the File Is In litigation and II
might come to pass that the city could noi
hCLtire It , in which cjse he feared that the
validity of the bonds might be questioned.
Attorney Galnt-s was called upon In con
nection with this point and declared that I !
was the better policy to specify the silo , as
he .lid not think that by doing BO the bond )
would be invalidated In capo that the stt <
were not secured.
I Nevertheless , In conformity with Hess
objection , the report was amended to rcac
I that the money set aside should be ex
i pemied In the purchase of a site in the vl-
j clutty of Twelfth and Pacific streets insteac
, of on the coruer.
Secretary Olllan stated that Inspector o
Buildings Banker , who was on the specla
committee , had not seen the report on accoun

was In favor of It. although he felt tha
j more money should be voted for all thi
buildings.
Van Gilder thought that the amount wui
altogether too small. He declared that thi
people of the city would vote for $500,00i
for school buildings as quickly as ithe ;
would for $250,000. Especially would thin b
the case with thojv who could not afford ti
bend ( heir children to other schools thai
' those , In th city , although the moneyed m i
might be opposed 'to ' it because they couli
send their children away. Ho therefor' '
moved that the amount of the bonds shouli
bo Increased to $300,000 , the extra $50,00
i to be expended on the High school building
This amendment was downed by the foi
lowing vote :
Yeas Hess. Irey , Van Glider 3.
Nays Bandhauer , Burgess , Dennis , John
i son , Klewlt , Moore , Penfold , Sears , Thoma
. ' Jordan 10.
n ] Absent Buchanan and Gralton.
The report as Introduced 'was ' then pn
to A vote nnd was unanimously passed.
All A rc' - to Work for It.
President Jordan urged all members t
the board lo make a sincere canvass fc
the bond proposlllon. Member Van Glide
pledged his support , saying that he woul
have preferred that the amount had bee
fixed at $400,000 , but would nevertheles
v i work to have the bonds pass. Memlu
_ Burgess stated that he had been In favor <
the three high school plan , but since th
other had prevailed he would do everythln
_ , In his power to sfcuro the passage of th
bonds.
Next Monday will bi > a holiday In tli

Members of the Real Estate exchange
met yesterday at noon In the rooms of the
Commercial club. It wa a business meetIng -
Ing and tb * m tter that were presented for
consideration were discussed In the dining
room while lunch was being served. Vice
President C. C. George was the presiding
officer and the meeting was formally begun
with an address by John \V. Ryckman of the
Chicago Chronicle , who was a guest ot the
exchange. He was Introduced by Mr. Georgu
a. * a man who had come to Omaha In the
Interests of the newspaper with which he
Is connected to make u study of the re
sources and commercial activity of the. midj j
j dlo west , and for that reason his opinions
of Omaha's trade piospects would be Inter
esting.
In the course of his remarks Mr. Ryck
man said : "There Is no more Interesting
theme of discussion than municipal de
velopment. In the steady nnd lasting up
building and prosperity of a city as much
depends upon municipal character as upon
I natural and acquired facilities and rich re
sources. In business and In Industry there
are legitimate channels , the course of which
cannot be altered. Trade follows the rail-
i roads and the waterways Into populous and
productive districts , but It cannot be forced
by any amount of misguided exploilatlon.
Factories aud works cannot thrive every
where. There must be some unquestioned
demand for them and strong economical
reasons for their operation. Omaha occu-
I pics a unlquo position today. H has car-
! rled out successfully a great public enter-
! prlso and It Is the llrst exposition in the
United States that has made a great ex
position pay. Omaha Is looked upon as a
safe city. Us commerce Is staple and ad
vanced , Us manufacturing Institutions are
prosperous and Us avenue. ? of trade and of
Industry arc plethoric of opportunities ,
Over two-thirds of a million hides arc
shipped out of Omaha every year for the
reason , to quote one of your lending pack
ers , that Ml Is cheaper to send hides to the
bark than the bark to the hides. ' I do not
believe that It Is any longer necessary to
send these hides away from Omaha aud
lose to your city the enormous revenues
that would result from their tanning and
manufacture at home. The conditions that
have deprived Omaha of large manufac
tories dependent for raw materials upon
bides and leather no longer exist. The best
tan for hides and the best preservative for
leather is now being extracted from certain
common weeds which are only too abundant
upon the plains of Nebraska.
"And what would follow Iho establish
ment of leather Industries ? The boots and
shoes of the west and of the Pacific would
largely be made in Omaha.
" 1 have recently made careful personal ex
amination of flax culture and linen manu
facture during an extended visit' to Ireland ,
and after conferring with those best posted
hero In this northwestern region I am satis
fied that the conditions prevailing here are
even more favorable t'o the growth of Max
than these of Ireland or Belgium. . The time
IB at hand when mills built In Omaha can
supply the western market with the linen
goods of coarser texture In vast amount and
variety. None of our crops nre as profirablo
as flax. There aie no wastes. Most of the
flax of America IB cow grown In the upp r
Missouri valley. Minnesota and" Dakota pro
duce two-thirds of all that Is raised in the
country. Omaha sbould tie up this branch
of Industry. Establish on experimental sta
tion here , secure the loiotlon ef the Na
tional Flax Culture association , now lorm-
ing , assist this organisation in every pos-
L'slbln way unfl gain all the rewards that , are
sure to follow the development ! of the In
dustry. "
Following the address an animated dis
cussion occurred concerning the attitude of
the exchange to ths high school system nad
the proposed change. A motion was made
that it. be the sense of the meeting that no
. expenditure bo made for th ? Increase of high
I school facilities , but after a protracted dls-
_ t cusslon. In which all present took part , the
I j motion was laid on the table and the meet'-
j Ing adjourned.

Visitors .o the Transmlsslsslppl Exposi

greatest place of enjoyment , pleasure and
outing of anr on the Midway. Here they
can spend an hour listening to the aedue-
tivo strains of the unexcelled Griffith Cor
net hand , which plays constantly during the
day nnd evening to the delight of their pa-
Irons , nnd after a joyous ride around the
double track through the dark tunnels and
witnessing the bountiful scenery of the har
bor and battle of Manila , showing the
many war ships of the white navy of the
United States , they find a li'ivcu of rest
where they can gel a fine luncheon and pass
the time pleasantly. Mr. ( IrlflHh has been
making many Improvements In equipment
nnd construction of gearing of cars and
rack and has fully arranged for a number
of roads for other cities and expositions
with the sale of franchises for same to bo
constructed and shipped nt once. Mr. ( Irlf-
Uh contemplates putting In at the 1'arls
exposition ono of the finest nickel pinto
iracks anil equipment roads ever constructed
In any country. It will probably cost a hun
dred thousand dollars , but will prove a
grand achievement and a monument to his

the case In all other Instances and places
where ho has placed his patented railways.

The live stock barns on the North tract
present a somewhat deserted appearance
yesterday and about all that the visitors
to them found that was of Interest was the
exhibit of horses. All of the cattle , hogs
and sheep had been removed , as well as
many of the horses. The balance of the
horses , of which there are a largo number ,
will remain upon the grounds until Thurs

pleases them most Is the fact that the pre
mliims have all been paid and that without

, that they were suffer-

wrote to an emi

physician , with a

tation , instead of
trusting their
cases to some on-
aeure physician
with but limited
practice and ex-
_ perience. There
re rutty reasons why a wise woman fol
low * this course. The chances are that an
obscnrt physician of small practice will
not dlapcnoic troubles of this nature prop
erly. If he does , he will insist on the
obnoxious examinations mid local treat

woman slit inks.
