CREAMERY COMPANIES MERGE
York and FairmOnt Concerns Unite to
Form One Big Corpora
tion.

YORK, Neb., Dec. 16.-(Special.)-Trans-
fers we're made yesterday, deeds and bills
Of sale we're filed in York county, deciding
and transferring all real estate and per-
sonal property OF the South Platte Creamery
company OF York, one OF the largest cream
cry companies in the state, to the Fairmont
Creamery company. The consideration
amounts up into the thousands. 1t is not
an actual sale TO the Fairmont' Creamery
company, but is a consolidation Of the two
large companies. Many other smaller com
panies will be taken in by these companies,
making 1t one of the largest creamery com
panies in the United States, and active COM
petitors Of the Beatrice company, which is
claimed to be the largest in the United
States.
Stockholders in creameries claim that 1t
is the most profitable investment that can
be made and pays much better han any
bank stock. 1t is reported that the Beatrice
Creamery stock paid within the last year
nearly so per cent. Many York county
farmers favor an independent mutual
creamery on about the same plan Of the
Farmers York County independent elevat-
ors, which are so successfully operated in
this county. York county farmers are so
prosperous that they can furnish the cap
ital and any amount OF It for anything hat
they wish to buy or operate.

CLAMoRING FOR GRAIN CARS
Farmers Complain TINT They Cannot
Get Their Crops to
Market.

THAYER, Neb., Dec. 16.-(Special.)-The
farmers living around Thayer are complain
ing bitterly of the treatment that the Farm
ers' Grain Elevator company is receiving
at Thayer from the Fremont, Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley railroad. They assert that
the Elkhorn is furnishing the trust ele-
vators with empty cars and that the farm
ers are unable to get a car. Officers Of the
company are leaving today for Omaha,
where they will see the proper officials and
see II they annot receive fair treatment
from the Elkhorn. Their grain bins are
full and farmers have had to stop threshing
machines. They think 1t pretty hard to
have to stop taking grain when the COM
pany elevators are taking in grain right
along and are receiving cars.
BENEDICT, Neb.. Dec. l6~.-(Special.)-
Elevator men on the Kansas City & Omaha
railroad complain that since the road has
been operated by the Burlington it is
harder work to get cars than under the
old management. Every elevator is full OF
grain and many Of them in York county on
the Kansas City & Omaha have filled the
driyeways. Corn shelters and threshing
machines have had to stop, as elevators
cannot take any more grain.

SNOW BLANKET FOR WHEAT
Entire State is Covered with Several Inches
Of White Mantle.
OF GREAT BENEFIT TO WINTER GRAINS
Aside from Protection ~ Assures
Plenty OF Moisture to start Growth
in the spring and Prevent
Damage from winds.

YORK, Neb.. Dec. 16--(Special)-The
snow which fell yesterday makes a nice
winter blanket for winter wheat. which is
not quite as large an acreage in York
county as last year, but is in extra fine
condition, pro missing another yield Of thirty
to fifty bushels to the acre. Seventy-hve
per cent Of York county farmers have fin
ished shocking corn and everywhere large
corncribs are filled to overlooking. Many
farmers we're unprepared for such a large
yield and thousands Of bushels Of corn is
piled on the ground. Hundreds of York
county farmers are feeding their large sur
plus OF corn to cattle and hogs. Trainloads
Of cattle were shipped into York county
last fall and we're sold as fast as unloaded
from the cars. Each year York county
farmers are increasing their herds of cat
tie and hogs and many have gone into thor
Uughbred cattle, buying the best stock and
paying the highest prices.
FREMONT. Neb., Dec. 16.-(Special)-
There was a light fall of snow again and
1t is now over a foot deep on a level. There
is but little wind and it is not drifted.
From a third to a fourth of the corn Is
still in the fields, and the snow is so deep
1t cennot be got out. The beet sugar COM
pany at Leavitt still has a good many beets
on band and in silos. The frost will not
injure them, The sleighing is fine and a
great many new cutters have appeared on
the streets.
DAVID CITY, Neb.. Dec. 16.-(Special.)-
Snow has been falling at intervals for
about one week. There is FULLY eight
inches Of snow. with no wind as yet. 1t is
thawing some today and the snow is set
Ting. The snow makes a nice blanket fol
winter wheat, which is a larger acreage
than last year. About one-half of the
farmers have finished shocking corn, which
is turning out far better than at first ex-
pected.
! SHELTON, Neb., Dec. 16.-(Special.)-
Six inches of snow on the level fell Satur-
day night and Sunday and the best sleigh
ing for years is the result. Thousands OF
acres Of corn are yet in the field and husk-
ing will now be delayed indefinitely. This
snow, coming earlier than usual, means a
hardship on sheep feeders and there are
several train loads now being fed here.

MISS NCOMB MARRIES.
Welded TO MIR. HERZOG IN SPITE OF
THE PROVISIONS OF HER FAITH
ER'S WILL

Miss Fanny Rayne McComb. daughter of the
late ]. Jennings McComb. of Dobbs Ferry. and
Lewis Edward Herzog married yesterday
at the Brick Presbyterian Church by the Rev.
DR.. Henry van Dyke. This marriage is of
special interest because of the provision Of the
will Of Miss McComb's father, who died Ieav-
ing large estate about year ago. One OF the
clauses Of the will provided that Miss McComb
should have a large share OF the estate in case
she did not marry Mr.. Herzog. but if she dis
regarded the wishes of her father in this re-
spect, she was to receive only life annuity Of
$4,000
A short time ago Miss McComb, through coun-
sci, applied to Justice Scott, of the Supreme
Court, for a Interpretation of this clause Of
the will with the idea OF ascertaining II she
could marry without forfeiting her share OF the
estate Justice Scott handed down a decision
in which he said that any question TO the
clause referred to purely hypothetical
until the marriage took place and until that
time he could not render any specific opinion.
II is estima ted that the income from the estate
which Miss McComb would have inherited if she
had remained single would amount about
10000 a year and she would have had the
privilege of disposing of the principal she
pleased
Lewis Edward Herzog is artist and lives

We must remember the year 1901 for the
