LINCOLN , June 20. ( Special. ) The new
building of the Beatrice Creamery com
pany , probably the largest and beat equipped
croamcry establishment In the United States
and perhaps In the world , will bo thrown
open for the Inspection o ( the public to
morrow. This company suffered severe loss
from flro a day less than a year ago and
the opening tomorrow will bo a sort of
celebration and jollification , Hagcnow's
Philharmonic orchestra has been engaged
for the occasion and If the opening Is at
tended by as many people as attended a
similar event over a year ago the day will
bo a memorable ono In the history of the
company. The Beatrice Creamery company
wua organized In 1894 a.i n corporation with
Messrs. Huskell And Itosworth as principal
and controlling stockholders. At that time
the ofllco of the company was located In
Beatrice , but the superior advantages of
Lincoln In the way of better railroad fa
cilities Induced the company to move the
butter making 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
larco Fitzgerald building at the foot of P
Direct was leased and remodeled , fitted with
Improved machinery and arranged expressly
for the concern. A month or so later the
building WOB entirely destroyed by flro , to
gether with all of the costly machinery.
The debris was cleared away and the con
struction of the new building was com
menced about eight months ago. Both the
lot and the building arc now owned by
the company.
Nearly eighty skimming stations arc
operated In connection with the plant In
this city. At these stations milk Is pur
r chased from farmers , put through machlno
separators , the cream sent to Lincoln and
the milk returned to the original owner.
Farmers realize about 2 cents per pound
more by selling milk to the creamery than
by making the butter themselves , and at
the same tlmo they are relieved of the
necessary labor of churning. The output of
the Beatrice Creamery company amounts
to about 14,000 pounds of butter dally , or
about five carloads per week. In addition
to the manufacture of butter the firm also
dealn extensively In eggs , shipping from
two and n half or three carloads of candled
eggs per week. The plant and building are
estimated to be worth about $60,000.
The skimming stations operated In con
nection with the creamery arc located In
Nebraska , Kansas and Colorado. Nearly all
sf them are owned by private or separate
Sf-mpanles , but are directly controlled by
Iho Beatrice company. One man is em
ployed at each station and at a few there
are several imcn regularly employed.
"Work of Supreme Court.
The supreme court Is In session for the
last tlmo until September. The present sit
ting opened this morning and the entire
tlmo was taken up In the consideration of
a fowr unimportant cases. The court is con
sidering a motion to consolidate the case
of Mayor Becker against the State with
the case of Scott against Flowers , In both
of which the constitutionality of the law
cmpoworlng courts to send offenders who
are under 21 years of ago to the reform
school' Is 'attacked."One Is a criminal notion
nnd th'o other a olvll suit.

NO TRACE OF THE MURDERERS
Illoodhoundu I'nil tn Tnkc Up the
Trail of the Rlnyem of
Farmer Ilnhnnnil.
AUBURN , Neb. , Juno 20. ( Special Tele
gram. ) There Is nothing especially InterestIng -
Ing In the Julian murder case. The hounds
were unable to get the trail and the effort
was abandoned. The jury simply finds that
Mr. Bahuand came to his death at the hands
of parties unknown and that the object was
robbery
Mr. Mlgncry , who Is farming the place ,
dined with the old man on Friday , but went
home when the rain came up. After the
rain wns over Mr. Bahuand was seen at
work setting out cabbage plants , and as he
had his rubber boots on when found It Is
believed that ho was murdered on Friday
evening. Ono witness testified to
seeing two strangers Inquiring the way to
Julian's place , and they said that they were
looking for work nnd had heard that the
old man wanted to hire n hind. The Tues
day before his death he drew something over
$300 from the bank and It Is not supposed
that ho spent any of It. Speculation de
clares that the robbers must have been res
idents of the place , as the plot was so well
carried out , ( but this Is not probable , for It
was quite generally known or believed that
ho carried or had on hand a considerable
amount of money.

CHICAGO , Juno 20. A special to the Rec
ord from Indianapolis says : W. T. Durbln ,
colonel of the Ono Hundred and Sixty-first
Indiana regiment , returned toay from Wash
ington , where ho went to consult the presi
dent about taking his regiment , recently
mustered out of the volunteer service , to
the Philippines.
He says ho has been assured by Adjutant
General Corbln that every request of General -
oral Otis has been been granted as to fur
nishing him with a sufficient number ol
men. Notwithstanding this fact , ho said ,
there seemed to b'e a sentiment among fed
eral authorities that might lead to the re
cruiting of several regiments In the United
States which would bo sent to General Otis.
Three regiments. Colonel Durbln says , will
certainly bo recruited. But for the first
three General Otis will be allowed to se
lect officers who arc now In the Phlripplnes.
After that officers will t > o selected by presi
dential appointment.
Colonel Durbln says the War department
will not ask for volunteers by states. The
president will appoint all the regimental
officers. No regiment will be taken as a
whole , as that would necessitate taking offi
cers. Companies will not bo taken as com
panies , but 100 men may bo taken at ono
time. This p'fan Is already en foot and the
formation of further plan's In this direction
Is hastened by a prevailing sentiment in
favor of crushing the Filipinos at once.

The question of Issuing a call for volun

The debilitating drains nnd
discharges which weaken so
many women are caused by Ca
tarrh of the distinctly feminine
organs. The sufferer may call
her trouble Leuchorrhoea , or
Weakness.or Female Disease or
some other name , but the real
trouble is catarrh of the female
organs and nothing else.
Pe-ru-na radically and perma
nently cures this and all otbei
forms of Catarrh. It is a positive
specific for female troubles
caused by catarrh of the delicate
lining of the organs peculiar to
women. It always cures if used
persistently. It is prompt and
certain.

of the wonderful benefit I have re

rheumatism ; went to Hot Springs ;
consulted the most eminent phyxl-

went on crutches until I took your

them for six weeks I discontinued
the crutches , and In three months
I was perfectly cured. I wish to say
