BATES COUNTY'S
FINE COURT HOUSE
Is A Handsome and Commodious
Stone Structure
Nevada Mail.

Nevada Mail.
While at Butler as witnesses In she
Feely trial the Nevada people were
splendidly treated by the citizens
and county officers Of that place
Sheriff Moses Morris, one Of the best
Officials and prince Of good fellows,
took especial pride in showing the
Nevadans Bates countys new court
house which is q handsome stone
structure. The Nevsdans greatly
appreciated the fine building and its
commodious Office rooms but all felt
just a little humilisUed to think that
Butler had such q fine court house
while Nevada and Vernon county
were still using the old structure
that lie still called court house.
The Bates county people built their
court house by a direct tax and every
fellow who voted againstis delighted,
and ashamed Of the vote he cast.
The only criticism that can be made
Of the building Is that the court
house Is not large enough and the
main building should have rested on
aioundation six foot higher.
One OF the best features OF the
Bates county court house Is the
ladies reception room that Is sit.
uated in the basement. One large
room is carpeted, furnished hand.
somely for the benefit Of the good
ladies who come to Butler to trade.
Here they can leave their dinners
and little children while out shop
ping and then come back and rest.
A splendid room joins the main
room and large dining table occu-
pies the center giving the good peo-
pie OF the county place to eat their
luncheons. Here and there are
large folding couches that are for the
comfort and rest OF the ladies. A
competent and pleasant lady matron
presides over these rooms.
When Vernon county builds a
court house the ladies should be re-
membersd and spacious reception
rooms should be provided for their
comfort.

was the duty Of Governor Hayward
to remove the entire board and ap.
point one composed Of honest, com
pctent men to administer the affairs
of the dispensary. He to,.k a hand
primary on the proposition as to
what the Governor should do, and
every man in sight voted to Senator
Tillman's views.
Senator Tillman said that, from
what he had been able to gather as
to the situation in York, he was of
the opinion that the people were 60
ing to vote to close the dispensary at
Iorkville, and that he was entirely
willing for them to do so, if they so
desired.
Senator Tillman repeated his recent
deliverance relative to voting out dis
pensarieS and having blind tigers a
their stead, and then gave the editor
of the Yorkville Enquirer a number
of Scripture quotations, which, he
claimed sustained the morality of the
liquor business
SENATOR BRICE's REPLY.
Senator Brice was allowed twenty
minutes in which to reply, but did
not consume so much time. Among
other things he said, in reply, was
that Tillman's attitude toward him
self, reminded him of that ancient
bully, Goliath, Of Gath, and quoted
First Samuel xvii, 43-44, and said
that Tillman's use of Holy Scripture
to sustain The rum business was sim
lar to that Of the devil, when he
quoted Scripture to Christ. when he
attempted to tempt Him after His
feast.
MANY THERE, BUT FEW LISTENED.
1t is estimated that there were
about two thousand people present.
At no time during the speaking were
over 800 making any prense to listen
ing to either Brice or Tillman, the
balance being scattered over the vii
lage and In the grove, whore the
stand was erected, out of ear shot of
the speakers. Both speakers were
applauded. Mr.. Brice, when he
made an especially forcible point,
and Tillman. when he said s s,methinp
especially sarcastic, or made one of
those gestures which has made him
especially dear to the hearts of his
old worshippers.
There were no unpleasant features
at the meeting, practically everybody
feeling in a good humor.

Packing Plant viii BE Sold.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The property of
the International Packing company
has been ordered sold under fore
closure proceedings to satisfy claims
of S3,977.O 900. The company was
formed a dozen years ago to take over
the business Of several of the smaller
concerns at the stockyards. 1t was
the original combination in the pack
ing industry, but it did not pay, and
has not been operated for several
years. Litigation began, and has
been continued with many hints of
scandal.
The holder in trust of most of the
company's bonds, the Illinois Trust Il
Savings bank, represented that:no in.
terest had been paid on the s., 800, 600
bond issue since 1896, ands sought to
have the mortgage f%oreclosed. Minor.
ity interests made charges of fraud
and sought by an injunction to pre-
vent the sale. The stockholders also
entered the fight.
The plant of the company covers a
block of ground in the stockyards,
and originally was we'll equipped.
The largest holders of its securities
now r said to ibe the men back of
the great packing companies.

Must Accept Employers Terms,

CHICAGO. June 2l.-A settlement Of
the teamsters' strike by mediation
tonight appears to be as remote as it
did a month ago From today's de-
velopments the indications are that
the committee appointed by the team.
STEERS Joint council with full power to
act in bringing about an adjustment
of the difficulty will be unable to uc-
complish anything. This COMMITTEES
called on J. Y, Farwell, representa-
tive OF the Employers associations,
today. and requested that the employ
erS grant the committee a conference
in an attempt to settle the strike.
Mr.. Farwell Informed the labor
men that there Wa only one way to
settle The trouble, aud that was for
the strikers to accept the terms offered
by the employers Il week ago. These
terms are SO at variance with what
the strikers demand that the commit.
tee requested Mr.. Farwell to give
them until tomorrow morning to con-
slider the matter. Mr.. Farwell also
informed the labor officials that unless
they reached a decision to accept the
terms of the employers there was no
use in making any further attempt to
bring about a conference, as the EN-.
ployers were in a position 70 dictate
terms and did not intend to concede
the strikers another single point.
