of flutter (or the Year and the
Interest Hprenda to the
llannei.
LINCOLN, Dec. 18. (Special.) Nebraska
dairymen and buttcrmakcrs began to as
semble In Lincoln today for their annual
convention and dairy exhibit. A blfi dele
cation came In from the western counties
this afternoon, and all Indications point to
the largest attendance In the history of
the association, which, during the last few
years has enjoyed a remarkable growth.
The association assembled at tho Lin
dell hotel tonight for n prellmlnn.-y meet
ing. Tho session was devoted almost en
tirely to tho reading of officers' reports,
discussions of questions relative to the
business of tho organliatlon and tho ap
pointment of committees, Frank B. 1Mb
bard of Omaha read a paper on the "Merits
and Demerits of the Food Commleslon."
C. S. Hassett of Gibbon, secretary of the
association, presented some statistical In
formation relative" to the growth of the
dairy Industry In Nebraska and laid par
ticular emphasis upon the need uf moro
effectlvo legislation for protection i.galnst
tho manufacturo of Imitations of dairy
products.
flutter Product or the Htntr.
"Returns from the creameries of the
tate show that 9.0'J3,70G pounds of cream
cry butter were manufactured In Nebraska
In tho year 1900, tho greater per cent of
which found a market outside the borders
of our Btatc," said Secretary Hassett. "It
Is estimated that 6,000,000 pounds )f dairy
or furra butter produced In this state has,
under tho commercial term of ladle butter,
been shipped to markets outsldo the Mate,
making tho exported butter product of the
state for tho year approximately 15.009,
000 pounds. This amount Is but a small
norcontaiio of tho butter which might be
produced for export from the state or that
would bo produced If fraudulent imitation
products wero compelled to be sold on
their merits and honest butter had only
fair and legltlmato competition In tho open
market.
"Until within tho last three years It was
thought that dairying could only bo pur
sued In a commercial way In the agri;ui
tural portion of tho state, but It has al
ready been demonstrated that even In the
range portions, devoted almost entirely to
live stock, that dairying can be success
fully nnd profitably pursued.
"Since tho Introduction of dairying Into
this portion of the state It has been found
that on tho range are many conditions it
vorablo to tho Industry. Tho owner of a
herd of cattle has tho cows and ns he
does little or no farming he lias time to
milk, to feed the calves and to haul the
milk to tho skimming station. In somo in
stnntcs thoy do not feed tho calves, to to
speak, but at night separate tho talvcs
from tho cows, In the morning milk tho
cows and during tho day allow tho calf to
follow Its mother."

K. Suddcndorf of Elgin, 111., secretary of
the Natlona' Ruttermakers' association
and orio of tho best known creamery men
In tho country, arrived this morning and
will remain here until the stnte association
ndloums. Mr. Suddendcrf devotes the
major portion of .hla time to the work o
his ofllco In the national organization nn:

Investigated tho dairy Interests In many
of tho western states. Ho tnld today tha

creaso In Nebraska and other adjoining
statert largely to tho Interest which was
aroused In this section by tho last national
buttormnkors' convention, held In this city
In February, this year.
"The average product of butter has been
Increased 25 per cent in volume and nlmos
us much In quality since the national con
ventlon." said Secretary Suddcndorf. "The

KNHW HIS HUSINESS.
Knotr .Homrthluu Resides What He
Ilctut In Hooks.
Tho wlsd, up-to-date, modern doctor Is no
longer tied down to the hard and fast rules
of what his medical books say ho shall uso
end what ho may withhold In treating his
patient.
Tho successful doctor nowadays Is tho one
who is quick to nvaii nimseic or any
remedy, now or old which holds out a
chanco of euro no matter whether It Is
Allopathl.', Homeopathic or neither one.
Dr. Jcnnlson, In an Interesting article
on Indigestion nnd dyspepaln says: "Nino
tenths of nil people, who apply to mo for
advlco ami treatment think they havo this
ailment or that ailment, but I find on close
rxamlnntlon that their wholo troublo arises
from poor ingestion.
They have little appotlto nnd If thoy do
havo nn appetite tho food they cat does
them no good. Why? Ilccauso It Is but
half digested, causing thin blood, weak
nerves, sleeplessness, aching bones, pains
In chest, fornintlon of gnscs, belching, etc.
They tell mo they believe they have con
sumption, or heart disease, rheumatism,
nervous prostrntlnn, in fact most every
dlseuso but the right one.
In reality tho whole troublo Is In tho
stomach and nowhero else. Now what I do
with such people? I don't feed them on
pre-dlgcstcd foods like babies, nor"stomach
bitters" nor patent nostrums which I
know nothing nbout. No honorable physi
cian will prescrlbo u remedy unless ha
knows what 11 contains nnd Its probable,
effects.
For all such patients I hnvo but ono pre
scription, I ndvlso them to go to tho near
est drug storo und get n DO cent box of
Stuart's Dyspepsln Tablets, I uso thorn with
remarknblc success In all rases of Indi
gestion ami stomach trouble, because I know
what Stewart's Dyspepsia Tablets consist
of and whnt they will do. They contain tho
vegetable essences, dlastnso nnd govern
ment test pepsin which aro the things every
weak slomnch lacks to restore natural dl
gcstlvo vigor and If I had dyspepsia mysolt
11 Is tho ono remedy I should take.
When a patient comes to mo complaining
of dull headaches, sour stomach, bad taste,
nervousness, belching of gas, or heart
troublo which Is generally caused from In
digestion I tell him to take ono or two of
fituart's Tablets after each meal and as
often during the day us he has any trouble
and I feel confident I havo given that
patient tho best ndvlco I could give."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, containing dias
tase and pepsin combined with fruit and
vegetable essences. They aro not cathartic
and do not act on any particular organ like
ordinary drugs, but simply act entirely on
tho food entcn. They are a natural diges
tive, pure, and simple.
Stunrt's Dyspepsia Tablets aro sold by
druggists at f0 cents per package through
out tho United States, Canada and Great
Britain.
not only Improve the quality of the product,
but Increase Its volume. I am firmly con
vinced that the last national convention
was a big thing for the dairy Interests of
tho west, nnd particularly In Nebraska It
aroused Interest In the work and ac
quainted dairymen and crcnmcrymcn with
the very latest methods and most Improved
machinery.
"We are looking forward to a record-
breaking attendance at the next national
convention, which will be held In St. I'aul
from Febtuary IS to 27. The railroads
have granted a one-far rato from all
points, and this will bring a largo attend
ance from the cast. For the last conven
tion the rates offered by the railroads ex
tended only over tho Jurisdiction of the
Western Passenger association and did not
Include points cast of Chicago, conse
quently the representation from the east
ern stntcs was light Tho Lincoln con
vention broke atl records up to that time,
but we look for an even moro successful
affair al St. Paul. The prizes offered will
amount to over 15,000."
Proitrnm for Today.
Tomorrow the dairymen will hold morn
ing and afternoon meetings at the dalrr
school on the state farm. Chancellor An

of Ilural Interests," nnd Governor Poynter
will open tho afternoon meeting with a

GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Doc. 18. (Spo
clnl.) Tho searching party which went to
the Loup river, In the extremo northwest
ern part of this county, Sunday has not
been nblo to find a trace of Stevens, the
missing young farmer. However, enough
has been ascertained to dlspcnso with the
theory of foul play. Traces of the horse's
hoofs show where tho animal had entered
the river from one bank, after first re
fusing to do so, and thnt It came out on
tho same sldo down tho stream with tho
bridal disarranged, as If It had been held
to by tho man off tho horse, and It Is pre
sumed that In tho deep water the rider
was thrown nnd probably kicked by the
animal. A farmer residing near the place
whero tho accident occurred saw Stevens
approach this point In the river. Tho horso
was later seen riderless, but with saddle
and bridle on nnd sent toward home
Later some one removed tho saddle. Tho
relatives nro convinced that tho man Is
under tho Ice of tho river. Tho father-in-
law still olfers SEOO reward for the recovery
of tho body.

In the Opinion Handed

LINCOLN, Dec. 18. (Special.) The su-
rcmo court this afternoon handed down
an opinion In which It affirmed the order
f tho district court of Douglas county,
affirming tho sate of real estate belonging
to tho Germnn Savings bank. Tho caso has
been dragging along In tho courts for sev
eral years and reference Is mndo to this
fact In the opinion, which says, "tho litiga
tion has been tedious nnd exacting almost
beyond the limits of patience."
Tho opinion was written by Chief Justice
Norval. Tho syllabus follows:
Objections in the rnntlrmntlnn nf it tudl-
clal sale, not urgucd In tho briefs, are
waived. Tho motive which Induces a party
to defend n suit brought ngnlnst him will
not be Inquired Into, but ruther his legal
risnm m tno premises. To otitnin n re

udicial error must bo shown.

support went as much to tho motives of

which has been tedious and exacting nl
most beyond the limits or patience, as to
its right to do tin, and, of course, Its
motive, or that of those who perhaps hnvo
encouraged It In this court, Is not to bo

resist overy step In the cause, and doubt
less that right Is accorded It under tho
law. .Moreover, tho citation wns served

CHICAGO, Dec. 18. According to a state
ment Issued tonight by J. M. Uarr, third
vice president of tho Santa Fo railway, tho
commltteo composed of representatives of
tho different railway organizations, who
have taken up the grievances of tho strik
ing telegraphers, consider tho strike a
mistake, and at tomorrow's conference to
bo held hero with the officials of, tho Santa
Fc, nothing but the re-employment of the
telegraphers will bo requested from the
company. Mr. Uarr's statement follows:
A committee, consisting of the system
chairmen of the engineers nnd firemen, con
ductors nnd brnkemen, hns naked for n
meeting with me In order to urge that tho
utmost consideration be shown by the com
pany toward the telegraph operators who
recently quit work on our system under
strike order In the matter of re-employment.
The men composing this committee,
ns representing the employes named, do not
sympathize with or support the telegraph
ers' strike, but consider It a mistake. Their
sympathy for the men who have lost their
Places has Induced them to tuko action aa
hero named,
We havo a full forco of telegraph opera
tors employed on nil our lines, our busi
ness Is moving under normal conditions.
Our earnings for tho first two weeks of De
cember were the largest for a llko period In
the history or the road.
The purposo of the meeting Is differently
regarded by tho striking telegraphers. The
latter dcclaro that It Is ridiculous to sup
pose that men representing other unions
working on tho system called for the con
ference to lntcrccdo with tho officials to
reinstate tho striking operators, as the
strike has not been declared off nnd tho
operators do not dcslro to return to work.
J. R. T. Austin, vice president of tho
Drothcrhood of Commercial Telegraphers
and a member of the Order of Railway Tel
egraphers, sa'd:
"From Information received It appears
tho commltteo will endeavor to lnduco tho
offlclnls to adjust tho differences which
caused tho strike. So far as tho strike re-
lng over, It has only begun and those who
aro out are not at nil worried over tho ultl
mato result. Thcro havo been few descr
Hons nnd evidence in hand is Indicative
that the better class of telegraphers who
aro out of work havo not shown nny dl
position to tnko tho places left vacant by
tho union men. '
Tho strikers refused to talk on tho prob
ability of a sympathetic strike of the other
employes of tho road, saying that In the
absence of President Dolphin, who was
expected hero late tonight, they lacked In
formation. The commltteo which will con
fer with the railroad officials consists of
James Roddy, chairman of tho Rrotherhood
of Locomotlvo Engineers; Thomas Uurk,
chairman of tho Rrotherhood of Locomo
tlve Firemen; William W. Hutton, chair
man of tho Order of Railway Conductors,
and R. C. Scott, chairman of the Order of
Railway Trainmen.

switchmen and brakemen here say they

graphers aro not granted by Third Vlco
President Rarr. Tho conductors announce
that they will stay by tho road, but It Is
asserted that they will bo Induced to Join
In tho strlko If ono Is ordered. Tho en
gineers and firemen havo not yet said
whether or not they would strike. Con
siderable pressure hns been brought to
bear on them nnd they show much sympathy
with tho strikers.
