That Omaha ha hrom and will continue, a big butter manufacturing tciwn Is well established. It lokt an though progress In this line will be steadily forward.

The Rockwell City and Iavenport establishments will be con tinued as at present." Judge Vlnsonhaler has not yet named any ppralsers for estates In probate. He was to have done so Tuesday morning, but It was found on examination that the ap plications of the county attorney for the appointment of such appraisers were de ficient In some particulars. At least two of the eMates on the list for which ap plications were submitted have been set tled, so that the heirs would be the proper parties defendunt. Af'er consideration, It has been decided to hold a conference of the county Judge, county attorney and the attorneys of record for the rarlous estates, to decide on a plan nfacvon that will accomplish the result the county attorney has In view most expeditiously. In this way all the argu nierta can be heard at one time, pro and con. ''Judge Slahaugh was willing that the county Judge should deny the application for appraisers and then come In with a mandamus proceeding This method of procedure did not meet the approval of the county Judge, anil after some discussion It was decided to have a conference as Indicated. Just when the matter will be presented to the county court In Its new aspect Is not decided, but It will be some day this week. In the meantime Clyde Bundblad of th county Judge's ofnee Is to look up several other estates that come under the provision - of the law, so that all attorneys and parties concerned may he notified and take pari In the hearing. In many respects this will be the most Important hearing evr had In a probate court In Nebraska; not only be cause of the amount of money Involved, but also because of the points likely tn be raised by the attorneys for the various estates. ssld. and Monday when he left there, he said, fences were coming down by the wholesale. NEW CREAMERY FOR OMAHA Another Batter Making Plan of Iare Proportions Will Re Omaha's - supremacy as a butter-making city la to be strengthened before winter sets In by the addition of another large creamery to the seven already established here. The newest plant Is that of the Andrew Wood company, which Is to have c&paclty at the start of 20.000 pounds of butter a day, or sufficient to make a car 1 ad. The creamery will be Installed In a twn-stnrv and hnvmnnl brink biillftinv now being erected on the north side of Douglas sireei oetween cieventn ana iweirtn, Dy capital under the control of W. R. Homan. The structure Will be 132 feet wide and about the same depth. Mr. Wood plans to have the creamery In operation about October i. Andrew Wood's home Is at Rockwell City, la., "where he has a large creamery and produce establishment. , He Is at the head of a company having similar business. In Davenport, and of the A. Wood Produce company, which has operated a large pro duce store at 411-11 South Eleventh street for four years. He says: "Butter making Is becoming centralised In the larger, cltlea because of better rail road facilities. In a large city cream can be obtained from the surrounding territory with greater speed, and the area that can NO WORE THREE DAYS OF GRACE Negotiable Instruments lavr Passed by the Last Legislature Goes Into Fffeet. The old reminiscence of anti-railroad days, the three days of grace on proni- lsory notes and other paper of the same Ilk, no longer exists legally in Nebraska. Tuesday the law abolishing the three days of grace and codifying all the state lams and court decisions on negotiable paper went Into effect, and from now on the hsndlng of these things Is expected to be much simplified. When the last legislature passed the law It fell Into line with six teen other states that have done the same thing. These are New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Montana, Idaho, l.'tah, Colorado, Arlxona, Washington and Oregon. The law Is one advocated by the American Bar association and has the ap proval of tho American Bankers' as sociation. In It are Incorporated all the various statutes that have here tofore borne on the subject, together with the essence of court deslclons. The main difference in the new law, so far as it generally affects persoas Is the aboli tion of tho days of grace. This will save much clerical labor figuring Interest In banks and commercial houses. A sight draft becomes practically a demand draft and must be pafd on the day presented If accepted If a note falls due on Sunday or a holiday it Is payable On the first business day following. Another change lies In defining the stand ing of a check and the funds against which It Is drawn In the bank. It la made plain that a check does not constitute an assign ment until presented at the bank. If sev eral checks are Issued against the same funds the one that gets to the bank first has the prior Hen and Is paid. Hereafter a note given for a patent light must have this fact plainly written across Its face and the holder Is forced to as sume all responsibility If he disposes of It, making ,the note practically non-negotiable. This Is to protect persons In the selling of fake patent rights and Inven tions. Other changes are mostly to cor rect errors and make disputed points clear. PLANS FOR NEW WAREHOUSE peelflcatlons for tVrlnht 'V li bel my 's Mrnrtare rinoeil la Hands of Contractors. Plans and specifications for the new Wright Willielmy warehouse at Tenth and Jones have been placed In the hands of .contractors by Architect John l.atenser and bids are to be returned August 14. The structure Is to be 6fixl32 feet In one part and 32x100 feet In another, forming an I., about the north and east sides of the old building. It will be five stories In height and will conform In material and appearance to the old quarters. It will more thun douhle the storage capacity of the house. At present two warehouses at points remote from the office are required to take care of the business. When the new home Is finished all the business will bo under one roof. The cost will be about IKiO.COO. The building will le what Is known as an Improved risk, being of mill construc tion and equipped with a sprinkler system and doors which close automatically In case of fire, shutting off the source of conflagration from other parts of the house. A prominent feature will be that the shipping space Is all under roof. Wagons which haul the goods awny will drive Into the building to' load. The office, which has been a land mark In the Jobbing district, will be moved to the second floor In the new addition. THAT'S A THING (0F THE PAST Who Will Represent Donajan County at State Convention of the Pops. J. J. Points, one of' the few surviving war horses of the populist party In Douglas county, was asked who would represent Douglas county at the meeting of the pop state commltttee at Lincoln August I. Mr. Points betrayed a mild Indifference. "Don't know that anybody will," he re plied. "'Don't know who the committeeman Is from Douglas. They tried to give me tho Job last year, but when that unspeak- ble combination with the democrats was made I sent In my resignation. I haven't any use for the populist party run that way. I am not ready to announce my en rollment In the democratic column, and will not be as long as the gang that has control now continues to run things In this state. I'm not taking much Interest in this pop meeting." No one else could be found who cared even as much as Mr. Points, George A. Magney was not In his office during the morning and Laurie J. Qulnby could not be located. I.EUAL .Ml TICK, 11 "11 I A 1 . ft 1 A 1 A I NOTICE TO BOND BUYEK3. Office ot City clerk, Soutn umana, Ne braska, August 1, A. D., isos.
