HAYDEN HAYDEN; THE GREATEST MERCHANDISE SALE EVER MADE IN OMAHA, Everybody knows the firm of Max Meyer Bro, Co., established in Omaha in 1866, The firm had no peer west of Chicago in musical merchandise of every description, Their stock embraced everything worth having, and Hayden Bros. bought it all except the jewelry business, which Max Meyer Bro. Co. will continue to manufacture and wholesale. Mr. Adolph Meyer, of the Max Meyer Bro. Co., who has always had the music business under his per- sonal supervision has consented to manage this entire department. This alone should be ample guarantee that nothing will be wanting to make up and conduct a complete and high class musical establishment. We have secured the services of Mr. Leonhardt, formerly with the Max Meyer Bro. Co, to take charge of the tuning. This gentle- man is too well known in this line to need any recommendation. The arrangements are now complete to remove, tune and repair pianos in the most satisfactory manner. The most important feature to the public is that this great stock is being placed on sale at once at prices never heard of in the music trade either east or west. Hayden Bros. always buy goods to sell and not to hold at fancy prices. article in the music line will be marked at closing out prices. IBROTHERS. L * VISIT HAYDEN BROS." MUSIGAL ESTABLISHMENT.

Hand Mayor Brady, on behalt of the city, extended a warm and cordial greeting to the delegates and friends of frrigation present, and tendered them the freedom of the ecity. He was followed by President Deets, who spoke about the two irrigation ditches now being dug by farmers in this county as the result of the assocliation or- ganized a year ago, and then turned the convention over to the state president, Mr. Fort, who urged the enactment of laws suita- ble to this state, and said that Mr, Akers ;{“s«m- Blufts county was now preparing a Letters were read from O.

Sterling Morton, and Commissioner Irvine, after which a recess was taken until after dinner, when more delegates will be present. The afternoon sesslon was presided over by E. M. Jones of Sidney. The first speaker was Rev. A. K. Wright of David City, for- merly of Colorado, on irrigation in Colorado. He dld not believe that long irrigation ditches In Nebraska would prove successful, as the water would soak away and evaporate before it reached the lower end. He advocated small farms of from ten to twenty acres, and did not belleve that large farms could be irrigated proftably for the raislug of corn, wheat or oats, Charles W. Irish, secretary of the United States office of Irrigation inquiry, made a very practical talk on “Alfalfa.” He sald that alfaifa did best where it could run its roots down from six to thirty-five feet to water, At the close of his address a number of practical questions were asked him by dele- gates, and in reply to one he said he did mot think alfalfa would grow in the bed of the Platte river or where water stood on top of the ground. John Powers read a paper advocating a canal for irrigation and navigation pur- poses from North Dakota to the Mexican line, to be owned by the government. He was informed that the plan” was not feasible, but believed that it was, D. W. Campbell of Denver spoke on the *“Benefits of Irrigation from a Social Point of View,” and was sure that when the coun- Lry was thoroughly irrigated the people would be more social and more prosperous.

Tenth Annual Moeeting of the State Asso- ciation at Lincoln, LINCOLN, Dec. 18.—(Special Telegram.)— The first session of the tenth annual meeting of the Nebraska Dairymen’s assoclation con- vened this evening In the chapel of the State university at 7:30 o'clock. The address of welcome was delivered by Chancellor James H. Canfleld. The remarks of the chancellor were upon broad and liberal lines, the cen- tral thought of which was that this, as well as other kindred associations, realized year oy year the growing necessity for scientific fuprovement to go hand In hand with the more practical affairs of life. The speaker held that it was eminently fitting that these meetings should be held within the walls of an institution which was generally recog- nized as the center of intelligence in the state. If it were not so now, the chancellor belleved that no efforts should be spared to make it so. In concluding he announced that if there was anything the association wanted it should ask for it, and if the uni- versity did not have it, it would get it. The response was by Hon. D. P. Ashburn. The speaker assured the chancellor that the association deeply appreciated the warmth of welcome extended to the delegates present. Conventions held under such favorable aus- plces will be the means of blending the sci- entific with the ‘practical, and it was along such lines that the association would in the future more fully realize its importance. President W. A. Carpenter followed with an eloquent address, and the first session closed with the report of Secretary 8. C. Bas- sett of Gibbon, In the opening of his report the secret: called attention to the ‘fact that the passing year had witnessed the most disastrous crop failure in the history of the state, a failure 50 complete in many counties that on hun- dreds and thousands of well tilled Nebraska farms they did not raise a bushel of grain and not a ton of hay. On these farms live stock had almost ceased to have a value, the dairy cow alone remaining, she being the only one who, in a crisis like the present, will pay for Ler keeping and something be- sides. The subject of oleo was touched upon and that article vigorously denounced. It was termed the greatest enemy to the dairy in- dustry. Of the 33,894,861 pounds of butter manufactured in this state in 1890, 27,818,078, or 82 per cent, were made on the farms. These farmer dairymen are met in greater numbers at farmers' institutes than at any other meetings of like nature, and there was no question that much good had been done the dairy industry in this state in localities where such institutes had been held. Right, justice and a due regard for the health of the people demanded certain legis- lation at the hands of the incoming members of the state leg slature. Nebraska has no law relating to the sale of impure or adulterated milk worthy the name. Omaha has attempt- ed by municipal regulation to prevent the sale of impure milk, but a visit to the office of the official charged with the enforcement of the ordinanc: showed that over 80 per cent of the samples were from milk which had been adulterated either by the removal of a portion of the butter fat or by tho addition of water. The receipts of the assoclation for the year had been $2,385.09; expenditures, $1,677.47, leaving a balance of $707.62. The atltendance this year Is the largest in the history of the assoclation. Among the representative dairymen of the state in at- tendance as delegates were: W. A. Carpen- ter, B. R. Stauffer, J. H. Rushton, Hon. Wil- liam Sutton, G. A. Merrill, J. E.'Merrill, W. £tivenson, D. P. Ashbura, J. W. Chappell, George Haskell, Willlam Jenkins, M. H. Hindman, 8. D. Nichols, Jesse Graham, J. §. Temple, 0. Muckle, F. 8. Huxtable, E. White, 8. C. Ballard, Andrew Carpenter, H. Vaughan, B. Sudendorf, W. Grifiith, F. Howe, 8. C. Bassett, T. F. Stanhope, J. W. Bush, Charles Harding, H. P. Polly and E. Plerce. The program for tomorrow will embrace the report of the treasurer, report of com- mittee on legislation and papers by B. R. Stauffer df Bellevue, J. H. Rushton of Fair- mont, D. W. Wilson, S8econd National Dalry union, and Dr. A. T. Peters of the State uni- versity, FATHER CORBETT APPEALS! ‘Trouble with Bishop Bonacum Oarried to the Supreme Qourt, MAY RESUME HS PRIESTLY FUNCTIONS Detalls of the Long Drawn Out Case Ke- cited and the Persistent Minister Takes Occasion to Explain Some New Features, LINCOLN, Dec. 18.—(Special.)—The appeal of Father Martin J. Corbett from the de- cision of the district court of Otoe county in the case where Rt. Rev. Thomas Bonacum secured an injunction restraining Corbett from practicing his clerical duties was filed today in the supreme court. The history of this case covers some four years, but the matter did not culminate legally until it got into the Otoe county district court, May 7, 1894, when the petition of Bishop Bonacum was filed. The case now comes up on a mo- tion of Defendant Corbett for an extension of the time of filing a transcript of the evi- dence adduced on the trial of the said action in the court below, and for an order upon Thomas P. Chapman, official stenographer of sald court, to prepare and furnish to the sald defendant such transcript with all con- venient speed. In his complaint In the court below Bishop Bonacum alleges that for some time prior to January 10, 1894, Defendant Corbett was the priest officiating at several churches in the diocese of Lincoln, being duly author- ized to do so by plaintiff, and as such in charge of said missions with full authority to act as such under and in harmony with the rules, canons and discipline of the Cath- olic church, and on January 10 the defendant was removed as priest from said missions and prohibited from further officiating as priest in any church In the diocese. The bishop further alleges that Father Corbett refused to follow his instructions, but con- tinued to officlate, whereupon he brought the case to the Otoe county district court, Here the injunction prayed for was granted In his answer Father Corbett declared that the matter was purely ecclesiastical and not civil, and also that on an appeal to Mgr. Satolli he was reinstated, and the sentence, or suspension, of Bishop Bonacum set aside. A temporary injunction was, however, granted by the Otoe county district court restraining Father Corbett from in any way pursuing his priestly duties within the dio- cese of Lincoln, SUPREME COURT CLERK'S REPORT. The biennial report of the clerk of the supreme court, D. A. Campbell, was today laid before Governor Crounse. The open- ing portion, devoted to the state library, shows that the number of volumes in the library November 30, 1894, was 30,252 bound volumes and 2,435 pamphlets, a total of 32,688 volumes. During the past biennial period there have been added 4,088 volumes, The law division of the library is in a most satisfactory condition. From the practicing physiclans of the state a numerously slgned petition has been re- celved asking for the founding of a “library of medicine and its kindred sclences” as a department of the state library. It is the intentlon, as expressed in the report, to comply with this request so far as means at disposal will permit. The amount expended for books, magazines and periodicals for the past two years was $7.207.36. Of this sum, $4,218.84 was expended of the appro- priation made in 1891, and $3,048.52 out of the appropriation made in 1893. Of the ap- propriation made in 1893, viz.,$5,000,there re- mains unexpended $1,951.45. Attention s called to the urgent need of a card or slip catalogue for the library, and an appropria- tion for this purpose is recommended. What has been said in two previous reports in re- gard to the need of a vault In connection with the state library and supreme court rooms in which to keep valuable records and publications s repeated and emphasized. Sirange as it may appear, there is no vault on elther the secondwor: third floors of the capitol building. The gffices of the clerk of the supreme coirt ‘dnd state library are wholly on the second floor. They are, there- fore, entirely without vault room. A recom- mendation for an appropriation for this pur- pose is made. Since the date of the last report volumes 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 39 have been published. Volumes 40 and 41, and some 300 pages of volume 42 are in type. GOOD WORK OF VETERANS. Mrs. Brad P.
