GERMANY TRADE
MEMORIAL PRESENTED BY THE
MANUFACTURERS LEAGUE.
SAYS OUR PORTS DISCRIMINATE
Complains that Detention Occurs
Even When Bond or Security is
VoIunteered-Prote is offered to
the Present Methods.

BERLIN-An important memorial
ON the American customs administra-
| ton and German trade has been pre-
scented by the League of German
Manufacturers to Chancellor Won
Buelow, Baron Won Richthofen, Sec
rotary of foreign affairs; Herr Noel
Ter, Prussian minister of commerce
and industry, and Herr Buenz, Ger
man consul general at New York,
who is now in Berlin.
The memorial is based on material
which the league collected In accord
ance with q resolution adopted in
1903 and was written by the Saxon
manufacturer, Alfred Petzschow. who
was sent to the United States to col
lect information among importers.
The league summarizes its views in
the following five points:
First-The American government
should be prevailed upon to accept
German manufacturers declarations,
sworn to before American consuls, as
evidence of value in all cases.
Second-It is necessary to reintro-
duce the former privilege of appeal
ing directly to the American treas
ury department because, under the
present practice, decision rendered
by the general appraisers cannot be
overthrow even when the courtse find
IL to be erroneous.
Third-The general appraisers
should be required to communicate to
the importer sentenced the penalty
and duty, and the reasons for the
boards decision, so that the importer
can defend himself.
Fourth-The practice of CHASING
| German goods sold in the United
States as consigned and subject to
special legislations merely because
the invoices are not made out in dol
lars and cents should cease.
Fifth--Shipments Of goods and
samples should not be detained in
public stores as hitherto until the
buyers refuse to take the goods be-
cause too late delivery and the sam
pies are no longer. available for the
approaching season.
The memorial complains that such
detention now occurs even when bond
or security is offered. 1t concludes
with reference to the Importance OF
the German market to American ex
porters as being much greater than
that of the American market to Ger
many and argues, therefore, that II
is only question of how the Ger
man government acts in the matter
which will decide the response of the
American government to the wishes
of the German manufacturers.

WESTERN CATTLE RAlsERS.
Order Promulgated In March Works
Hardship.


WASHINGTON.-By an order pro-
mulgated in March by the secretary
o! agriculture it is required that all
cattle west of the Mississippi river
intended for shipment should be
dipped" in preparation prescribed
by the department for the purpose Of
absolutely exterminating the skin dis
order, known as the mango, which has
existed to a limited extent for many
years in that section. This order, If
rigidly enforced, would require that
all beef cattle, whether affected by
the mango or not, should be dipped
twice before shipment AS it has
been found impossible to make prepa-
rations and round up and dip the
cattle within the limited time allowed,
numerous petitions have reached the
department praying for relaxation
of the order. Today a delegation ap-
peared before the secretary Of agricul.
ture and later called on the president
requesting the order to be so modified
so as to obviate the dipping of beef
cattle before shipment, and in lieu
thereof to institute rigid government
inspection at the point of shipment
before the cattle are loaded on the
cars. The delegation consisted of
Former Senator Carter, Representa-
tive Dixon and Hon. Conrad Kohrs of
Montana; Mr.. Buell. of the Union stock
yards of Chicago and Joseph Rosen-
baum, representing the Chicago conf
mission houses.
The subject, which is regarded as
of the first Importance, will be given
| careful consideration by the president
and Secretary Wilson.

NEBR ASKA STATE NEWS
SUGAR BEET BouNTIEs.
Judge Cornish Declares that They Are
Unconstitutional.

Onconstltutlonal.
LINCOLN-Sugar beet bounties are
unconstitutional. So declared, Judge
Cornish in the district court, and he
sustained the demurrer Of the attoT-
ney general, who argued that the suits
of the Oxnara Sugar company and the
Norfolk Sugar company ought to- be
dismissed. The two concerns asked
for more than $4,000.
The claims of the companies have
been before successive legislatures and
permission was given at the last SEES
sion for the sugar manufacturers to
sue the state and establish the validity
of their claims.
The companies claim that the state
promised bounty of / cent a pound
in 1885. Between the years of 1889
and 1890. the companies claim, $1,000,
| 900 was invested, with the understand
ing that bounties would be paid. The
act was repealed in 1889, but the com
panies claim that three-quarters OF q
cent was voted to foreign companies
in 1896. After the bills were audited
the attorneys for the companies state
that the officials refused to pay, as
sorting that the state lacked funds.
They argue that legislatures have en-
dorsed the claims and the last one di-
rected that suit be brought.
Attorney General Prout argued That
sugar beet raising was not public un-
dertaking and that the legislature had
no right to appropriate public money
for such purpose. The court upheld
his contention. The case may be ap-
/ pealed.

SECURES AN ANCIENT RELIC.
Morton History Gets Picture Of the
First Nebraska Mission.

LINCOLN-C. s. Paine. manager OF
the Morton History of Nebraskay has
secured a picture of the old bellevue
mission, the first mission established
in Nebraska for the conversion Of the
Indians. The picture is in water col
ors and was secured from Mrs. y. T.
Allan of Omaha. Mr.. Allan had come
west about 1S4S to seek his fortune,
and had this picture painted to send
back to his sweetheart in the east
in order to give her an idea of her
future home.
The old mission was located IN al
most the very spot where bellevue
college now stands. 1t was built FOR
the purpose of dealing with the Oma-
ha and Otoe Indians, and was the cen
ter of civilization and trade until ON
aha was founded in 1854. 1t was built
of hewn cottonwood logs faced on the
outside and inside and was two stories
high. Later the mission was convert
ed into a hotel, and as the Bellevue
house" was used for that purpose for
many years.

MORAL STANDARDS ARE LOW.
Fashionable Society of the Cities Ar.
raiqned.

AMHERST, Mass.-At the commence
ment exercises at Amherst college,
the baccaiaureate sermon was deliv-
cred by President George Harris, d.
d. He said in part:
1.-THE fashionable society of our
cities is a society of the wealthy. The
rich vie with one another in the ex-
pensiveness of food, drinks, clothes
and decorations. Their moral stand
ards are low. Divorce does not read
a rich man or woman out of fashion
able society. They are the degener-
ates of the cities. But not all the
wealthy rush into this silly scramble
of vulgarity and sensuousness. There
are many who use wealth to secure
higher ideals. How otherwise could
there be culture, science, art, music,
philanthropy, colleges, schools and
churches?"

ORDER PREVAILS EVERYWHERE
Crowds at the Land Office Stand In
Line All Night In Order to Be on
Hand In the Mornine-Mlss Pitts
Gets First Chance.

SIDNEY, Neb-The streets packed
with people from everywhere, any
where and all other directions charac-
terized the opening here of the land
to settlement under the new Kinkaid
homestead bill. The gradual gather
ing of people for several days past
preparatory to the opening steadily
grew until with last evenings gor-
geous setting of the Western Nebras-
ka sun there had assembled in Sidney
an approximation of 1000 land To-
caters. AS denser fell the shades Of
the Sidney night SO also closer grew
the ranks and lines of the Cheyenne
homeseekers.
Beds were an utter impossibility,
and the future settlers coalesced into
long and serried columns, which &C.
cupied city streets and sidewalks,
these columns reaching from cuburbs
to the night-closed doors of the cen
trally located land office in the Ober-
fielder block. The night hours passed
rapidly with the jollity of agreeable
concourse and comradeship and the
jubilance of the next days assurance
of the ownership of wide and rich
acres.
The dawn broadened to the daylight
and the daylight burst into the sun
light With the rising of the sun the
long line of waiting homeseekers
steadied themselves anew, and with
the opening of the land office doors
at 9 o'clock were apparently as fresh
as If they had counted no long and
weary periods of the. waiting night.
During the tagging hours of the
dark watches Miss Nettie Pitts had
been bright particular star, shedding
cheerful and constant radiance from
one end Of the waiting line to the
other, and when at last the doors of
the land Office were open, she and her
venerable father were, by a unanimous
and hearty vote, given, irrespective of
any rotation in the line of land To-
caters, the first two land filings in
Cheyenne county under the new Kin.
kaid homestead law Miss Pitts quick
ly filing on a superb 4S0-acre home
stead and her father at once following
her with a 4S0-acre location. These
two locations started the rush, and
from thence to p. m. the filings fell
thick and fast, running at times as
high as one per minute, with 400 loca-
tions registered for the day and a
cash land Office aggregate of $1,000.
The locations of today will aggre-
gate 100000 acres, while tomorrow
will see the filing on of at least $780,
600 acres additional. The third day
will be handsomely represented, and
1t is expected that these three days
of initial location under the Kinkaid
homestead act will bring total set
Element approximating 100000 acres
in the Sidney land district.
The Sidney land Office officials ex.
press the confident opinion that the
work of locations of the first three
days will be continued on a sufficient
scale to practically exhaust the entire
$4,000 acres available under the Kin
kaid land act in this district within
the next three months.
