LARGEST CREAMERY ON
EARTH.

Lincoln, Nebraska, claims the
distinction of having the largest
creamery in the world, not only
in buttermaking capacity, but in
size of plant and floor space. 1t
is not insisted that Lincoln turns
out more butter than any other
city, Elgin, ILL.,, being at least
one exception, but in that city,
it is asserted, there are several
distinct plants, long established,
while that of Lincoln is really in
its fancy. It is an incorporated
company. starting on a small
scale atBeatrice, Neb., five years
ago, and removing to Lincoln
three years later. The company
suffered serious backset shortly
after its removal, the rented
building it occupied being totally
destroyed by fire. Six months
later it was decided to erect a
building which would be the larg-
est used for the purpose in the
world. This was completed four
months ago, with a capacity of
30, COO pounds of butter day,
and working atpresent, at slight
ly in excess OF half its capacity,
with an average of II, 900 pounds
daily. The building is of three
stories, brick and stone, and its
dimensions are 100x140 feet.
Eighty-two stations, located in
Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado,
supply the cream for the main
plant, and these are being con-
stantly added to.

A NEGRO KILLED.

Hamburg, Miss, Sept. 90
News has just reached here from
Meadville, the county seat of this
county, of the killing of Pearlie
Carter, a young negro about
twenty years old, by Burrell w.
jackson, very prominent colored
Republican citizen and school
teacher of the county. The full
particulars have not yet been
learned, but it is current report
that the difficulty originated over
jackson having lost COW two or
three weeks ago. which Carter
was accused of having killed on
the commons. jackson is in Jail
in aeadville awaiting a prelimi-
nary trial.

Judge Wharton of Jackson, ia
probably the oldest member OF the
bar in the state, urges the adop-
ton OF the Noel elective judiciary
amendment in November. He
has lived snder both systems he
says, and AYERS that Mississippi
never had such an array OF legal
talent as graced her higher courts
under the elective system. He
states further, that the policy Of
electiDg judges, originated in
Mississippi, no English speaking
people having adopted it before
its adoption in Mississippi's con-
stitution in 1882, and recommends
its re-adoption, even in the form
OF the proposed amendment as far
as preferable TO the present sys-
tenn. -Clarksdale Challenge.

ing any veteran or his widow OF
children of any legal right or SEN
tlmental consideration to which
they may be properly entitled.
IL is a significant fact that the
particular act complained Of by
the Grand Army Eneampment
was first promulgated by Gen.
Raum, in the last two months of
the administration of President
Harrison after the latter had been
defeated for re-election. 1t was
found that the former practice
meant such letting down of the
bars, and the pension roll in.
creased at. such a fearful rate,
that something had to be done to
stem the tide; but neither Raum
nor Harrison had the courage to
take any action until after the
voters of this country had de-
cided 10 place President Cleveland
in the White House.
One OF the first acts OF Judge
Lochren, President Cleveland s
pension commissioners, was to con-
firm this order of Raum's, which
naturally brought down the dis
pleasure of the Grand Army, and
that organization fought Lochren
all through his term of office.
Now Evans comes in for his
share OF the abuse, because he
has simply enforced the rulings
OF his predecessors. 1t is quite
likely that the Grand Army in
its fight for a more liberal inter-
probation of the pension laws,
will kill the goose that lays the
golden egg, and that as a result
OF their outrageous demands, a
reaction will set in, which will
do much toward pruning the PEN
sion rolls, and reducing the ex-
penses OF the government. Ev-
eryone in Washington believes
that President Mckinley has a
most difficult problem to settle,
and that whatever he does, he is
bound \ to make enemies, and
votes for the democratic party.
The national campaign OF 1900
already is opening up. The elec-
ton in Ohio is looked to with
scarcely less anxiety than the
greater result next year. Re-
publican leaders here think the
result is one of great doubt. They
fear the loss of the German
American vote which is heavy in
Cincinnati and several other lead
ing cities. A loss Of the state,
they say, would be such a repu-
diation of Mckinley that his
friends could not in decency pre-
sent his name to the national
convention; and hence their he
roic efforts to defeat Mclean.
Orders are out that every repub-
lican office holder shall help in
the fight for Nash and to show
that civil service rules are waiv-
ed for that purpose, Secretary
Hay led off with his long appeal,
and now Postmaster General
Smith is booked to make speeches
there.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Prof. H. E. Wilkinson, Sec-
ton Director, Of Vicksburg, sends
the following summary for the
week ending Monday, September
1S, 1899:
The drouth has continued
throughout the past week, ex-
cept for few scattered showers,
and has injured some crops ma
terially, turnips probably suffer-
ing the most. The temperatures
were normal taking the week as
a whole, although it was cooler
during the first part and warmer
the latter part of the week than
usual. Cotton continues to open
fast, prematurely, and picking
has been forced in consequence.
The upland cotton is reported as
nearly all open now and many
farmers expect to complete pick
ing their crop, which is generally
considered below the average, by
the 10th of October. Gardens,
peas, and turnips have felt the
whitening influence of the drouth
severely. Hay harvesting con-
tinues with good results. In the
southern tier Of counties sweet
potatoes, rice. and cane are re-
ported in a thrifty condition.
Stock water has become scarce
in some of the northern and mid
die counties.

The reply TO the government
OF the South Republic to the last
British note has been made pub
lie in London, and the cable dis-
patches give its general purport,
with copious extracts. The COM
munication is temperately and
courteously worded, but it is a
rejection Of Mr.. Chamberlain g
proposals, and announces that
the only proposition that could be
accepted is a seven-years' fran
chise law, other differences TO be
submitted to arbitration. The
Transvaal's note practically re-
pudiates British suzerainty, and
intimates that it would be useless
to make further proposals at va
rance with seven-years' fran
chise proposition. Although tenn
perately worded, the commune
cation is a defiance of Great Bril-
tain, and 1t shows very clearly
that the Beers expect war, and
do not shrink from tn. o.

Other COntests-Polo and Golf

Yale piled UP score of forty-two
points Saturday afternoon against
Pennsylvania State college. In the first
half Yale made FIVE touchdowns, out
playing her opponents at every point
and II it had not been for letting up in
the second half she would have made
an even larger score. The feature OF
the game was the fast work of the

McBride's long punts Hubbell and

gained ME form Of last year, despite
his lack Of practice.
The procession Of undergra duates
headed by band arrived at the field
soon after o'clock and at 3:15 State
kicked off, Yale defending the north
goal. Three times kicks were eX-
changed, Mcbride outpunting Cure by
twenty yards each time, On short
kick Yale got the ball on States thirty
yard line and rushed it easily to the
one yard line, where State got the ball
on downs Cures kick was blocked by
Gould, who fell on the ball, scoring the
first touchdown. Brown kicked an
easy goal. Within three minutes
Yale scored again by blocking kick
and Richards twenty yard run. Again
State kicked off, Mcbride returned,
and on Johnson's tumble Winter secur-
ed the ball. After another exchange Of
kicks Dupee, aided by good interior
ence, made forty-f1ve yards around left
end, and on the next play he was push
ed over the line for the third touch
down. Two more touchdowns were
made before the half closed--one by
Richards, by a twenty yard run, and
one by Stillman, who fell on the ball
behind the line, after Johnson had fun
bled McBride's long punt The half
closed with the ball in Yale's possession
on her opponents forty yard line.
In the second half Yale put in a new
