CHICAGO, July 1.-THE manufacture
of colored butterine has been resumed
in Chicago by the three largest firms
interested in the industry and will be
continued until the law interferes.
The step is taken for the direct pur.
pose of forcing a constitutional test OF
the law into the courts and the three
firms are banded to stand costs, finan.
cial and otherwise, of the challenged
fight The resumption of manu-
facture will come as welcome news
to hundreds of workingmen in
the stock yards district, who have
been thrown out of employment
through the closing of this line of in
dustry. 1t will also be news of n diff
ferent nature to the farming and
creamery combinations throughout the

passed and became n law. After the
passage of the bill most of the butter
inc factories were closed, but some of

Report of Loan Companies Show a Most
Extraordinary Record.
OMAHA, Neb., July 1.-THE reports
of mortgage and loan companies doing
business in Nebraska for the six
months ended July 1 are just being
made public. They show proportion
of Indebtedness paid during that
period that is most extraordinary. A
close estimate of the aggregate places
the amount paid during the past six
months in Nebraska at SIS, 600, 900.
The most of this comes from the rural
districts. The payment of SO large
sum is attributed by loan agents to
the economy that hard times has
taught the agricultural masses in the
state, and the fact that they are now
receiving the income from the large
crops of the past two years.
