LINCOLN', Feb. 21. (Special.) The last
straggling huttcrmakcrs havo arrived- and
the convention Is In full swing. Though the
auditorium scats 4,000 people, It Is filled to
crowding at every session. The Interest
felt by tho visitors nas spread to the cltlrccs
of I.lncoin. and tho gallery Is always well
filled with onlookers. Tho headquarters of
the various plafo delegation at the hotels
are In a constant turmoil of activity. The
lsltors all keep open house and dispense
refreshments with lavish hospitality.
Tho city Itself Is button crazy. Hcsldcs
the official badges of the stnto delegations,
every one of the hundreds of business con
cerns represented here baa buttons bearing
Its namo nnd some suitable or catchy de
vice. Muchlnory hall In crowded continuously
with people anxiously collecting a badge or
button from each oxhlhltor and every butter
maker presents a front of solid streamers.
Tho tntlro New York delegation left this
evening on tho 6 o'clock flyer for Denver,
whero they will remain during tomorrow,
reluming In time to attend tho Friday ses
sion of the convention. The object of tho
trip Is to add to the enjoyment of tho affair.
Tbn regular enlon convened In the Audi
torium at 10 o'clordt this morning. The first
number on the program was a paper by V.
V. Graham of I.oSeucr, Minn., on tho mib
Ject "How Can tho Quality of Milk De
livered for the Manufacture cf Itutter He
Improved?" Mr. Oraham, however, was ab
sent, and his paper was omitted. P. 11.
Klefer of Strawberry Point, In., wns also
absent and his paper on "The True Relation
of tho Iluttcrmaker to tho Pntroo" was
read by Mr. Anderson of Minnesota. Tho
sense of tho paper was iih follows:
"Tho patron must he recognized as one
of the parties Interested In tho buttormak
Ing business. Tho buttenrnakcr hoilld as
sist and instruct the patron and should
never miss an opportunity to talk over the
dairy business with him. Tho patron should
bo taught to brush all dirt from tho cow
boforo milking, how best to feed the cows
nnd get tho mnut milk at tho least ex
pense, to keep hl milk cans clean nnd al
ways f-co from bacteria by scalding with
hot water. Tho buttermakcr should make
the -patron feel that interest is being taken
In him and his work: bo should bo shown all
thoyattctitlon and courtesy possible."
Much comment was aroused by these state
ments and a long dlscu;lon resulted. Prof.
Hates of Minnesota and Secretary Wilson
added greatly by their remarks to tho In
formation, on tho question.
Tliiirnton .nrnUn.
Senator Thurston was next presented, and
spoke In purl as follows:
- "I never made any butter, but I love It.
I believe In the liberty of the American
cow and I believe In everything that tenda
to secure her In her birthright. When I
came to tho city yeatcrday I was struck by
tho amount of yellow decorations to bo
seen on every side,' and then I Tiappcned
to think that the buttermakers were In sc
lion here. That namo thought caused mo
to wonder If tho buttermakers were not
practicing a little deception on tho pcoplo
brcauso of tho fact that at ono period of
the year, in tho winter, nil butter, unless
colored, Is -white.
"Well do I remember tho old cows of tho
farm. Those memories shall always re
main with me, and oven today they cause
mc to wltfh that somo Ingenious American
would Invent a machine, for milking coah
and give the boytt a rest,
"I believe in the Integrity of tho Amer
ican cow nnd I do not think she should
bn placed In unfair competition with any
thing which Is but an Imitation. Con
gress owes n duty to the American pcoplo
to bo legislate thai products of all kinds
shculd rest on their own merits and sell
for what they really arc.
"For thirty yearn I have noticed the evo
lution of tho cow In tho stato of Nebraska.
The first sample was that of tho Texas
steer, ond tho first degree of development
was reached by crossing him with the loco
motive. At IcaBt In tho estimation of Juries
this mado a high-priced animal. When
tho schooners began crossing tho plains
the old-faihlonod cow was Introduced and
hh has been gradually Improved by tho In
fusion of new blood n that she stands to
day tho equal of nny In tho world.
"The real success of tho American farmer
depends on his selling the finished product.
Tho man who disposes of his product di
rectly from the noil receives but little for
bis efforts, but tho man who disposes of tho
finished product receives tho most for hla
toll. Nebraska, from year to year, Is dip
ping lctH nnd less of the raw product and
more and more of the finished article.
"I can't go Into the details of tho busi
ness In which you are engaged: I cannot ad
lso you on matters pertaining to the hut
tcrmaklng buslnrnj. but I can guarantee
you that I will do all I ran In my official
capacity as u representative of the great
commonwealth of Nebraska In tho United
Statcw senate to protect your Industry from
unjustifiable nnd unfair competition."

Creditor.
MEAD, Neb., Feb. 21. (Special Tele
gram.) Later developments show that tho
liability of Lee Johnson Is over $10,000.
Among tho creditors aro Rector, Wllhelmy
& Co., Lce-Gluss-Andrccsen Hardwaro com
pany, Baum Iron company and other Omaha
wholesale houses, who hold over 11,000 worth
of claims. Tho hall, which Is nearly com

and Is not oensfdered In any way ns assets.
The Farmers' Grain and Stock company,
which has filed n lumber lien of over $l,C0O,
has the largest claim against the hall build
ing. Ous Oakcson. the Bank of Mead and
K. T. Johnson, his father, are the heavy
losers among borne people Interested. Lee
Johnfcon is in Wnhoo today holding sessions
with creditors.
WA1IOO, Ncb Feb. 21. (Special Tele
gram.) Creditors of Lee Johnson, tho
hardwaro merchant of Mead, alleged to
have been robbed of $7,000 Monday night,
were In Wahoo today, as well as Mr John
son himself, and wero clcsely examining
the rocords, but found nothing In slpht
with which to satisfy their claims. All
of his real cstnto was hastily covered with
mortgages nnd mechanic liens, amounting
to nbout $5,000, as soon as the news of tho
robbery became known. His full liabilities
aro between $7,000 and $8,000. Though ,
mo actions or tne moodnounds yesterday,
together vlth other circumstances, cast sus
picion upon Mr, Johnson himself as hav
ing laid a scheme to defraud his creditors;
ho denies It and declares he was actually
robbed of his money. Mr. Johnson has al
ways been considered perfectly honest and
trustworthy, but the later developments In
the case now before the people bave crys
tallized public sentiment Into doubting the
genuineness of his robbery story.

till afternoon and made to npptur In tho

Clyde Fitch's play, now being produced bv
Mlis Ncthersole at Wallack's theater. Th,
play is u stage adaptation of Alfonso Dau
det's novel of the same name.
The nttack seemed to come from all direc
tions, tho play being denounced by pulpit
and press.
With Miss Nethcrsolo wero arrested upon
the same chargo Hamilton Rcvelle, hor
landing actor, and Marcus Mayer, her man
ager. A warrant was Issued for the arrest
of Theodore Moss, proprietor of Wallack's,

Tho warrants for the arrest of the four
persons prlnclpilly concerned In the pro
duction were Issued early in the day by

Tho provision under which tho warrant

the penal code, npplylng to public nuisance,
which Is a misdemeanor nnd is punishable
hy Imprisonment in tho penitentiary for ono
years or a flno of $.00, or both.
Miss Nothersolo was arrested at tho Hoff
man house by Inspector Thompson und tnken
directly to the Center street police court.
She was evidently greatly worried, but soon
overcame her nervousness. At the dictation
of her counsel she said in answer to the
complaint:
"I have committed no offense against tho
good morals of this or any other countiy.
I especially demand to know the source
of this .attack on mo nnd my propriety. Tho
court cannot order a tco speedy investiga
tion." At tho request of Miss Nethcrsole's coun
sel tho hearing was set for Friday morning
without objection by tho district attorney's
representatives.
Piny Presented n I nnl.
After this matter wns settled Chief of
