The value of the product given is the value as_obtained or fixed at the shop or factory. This statement is necessary in order to avold erroneous conclusions from the figures presented. Finding the Net Value. The value of the products for the sta of Nebraska, $143,990,103, 1s the gross vulue and not the net or true value. The differ ence between these two ghould be care fully noted. The gross value is found by ndding the value of ‘lrmlnt'w in the se ate establishments. But the finished p uct of one factory is oftep the raw terlal for another.” In such cases the value of the former reappears in the latter, and thus the original cost of certain materinls may appear several times in the gross val he net or true value is found by subtracting from the gress value the value of all materfals purcha in . partly manufactured form.

The elght establishments reported in 1900 gave employment to 6,088 wage earners, or 24.9 per cent of the wage earners employed in the state, and the products were valued at $71,018,339, or 40.3 per cent of the total value of the products of the state. In 3890 there were six establishments, 1,863 w ers and’ products valued at $24,026, increase in the value of products during the decade was $46,991,463, or 195.6 per cent. The development of the industry in Ne- braska during the last two decades had been remarkable. Meat packing was carried on in Omaha as early as 1871, and in 1880 the products of the industry in the state was valued at $1 The first great advance was made in 1884, when the Unlon Stock Yards company located its plant on farming land south of Omaha. The city of South Omaha, which has grown up around these stock yards had, fa 1900, a population of 26,001, and was one of the largest stock markets in the United States. Its sltuation on the Missourl river, the boundary between its own state and Towa, bas afforded speclal advantages for the growth of its reat industry. Poth states are superior feeding staies, lowa ranking first and Nebraska third in 1900 in the pro- duction of corn. Slaughtering and meat packing establishments are also lgeated at Ganeva, Nebraska City and West Lincoln. In addition to the supplies of livestock bred in Nebraska and in lowa, the stock yards recelve sheep and ‘canning’ cattle from many other states, while thousands of young animale are annually brought to the feed lots of Nebraska to be fattened on corn, ! Grist Mills amd Printshops. “The manufacture of flouring and grist- mill products ranks second among the in- dustries of the state, with 305 establish- ments, 698 wage earners and products val- ued at $8,100,794. In 1890 there were 185 establishments, 690 wage earners and prod- ucts valued at $ 492, The increase_in the value of products during the decade was $1,7: or 27.3 per cent. The 305 mills reported in 1900 were scattered over the state In more than 200 different lo- calities. Many were small, the average number of wage earners employed per es- tablishment during the census year being less than three. Nevertheless, the wheat- flour products ot Nebraska was alone val- ued at $5,819,911. “There were G54 establishments engaged in printing and publishing in 1900, the in- dustry third in rank, with 1,883 wage earners and products valued at $3.431, In 1890 there were 443 establishments, 1 wage earners and products valued at $3.- The fncrease In the value of the products during the decade was $209,214, per cent. Omaha is the headquarters of what Is to be one of the most extensive pfinting establishments of its kind in the United States. Plants are eberated in twelve cities in Nebraska and other states, and partly printed sheets are supplied to county newspapers in the territory lylng between the Mississippl river and the Rocky mountains, ‘ar Shops and Cheese Factories. “There were twenty-threo establishments engaged in car construction and general shop work of steam raiiroad companies in 1900, with 2,458 wage earners and products valued at $2, 461. In 1800 there were nine establishments, 2,041 wage earners and products valued at $2,067,908. The increase in the value of products during the decade was $566,663, or 26.9 per cent. There were ninety-three establishments engaged in the manufacture of cheese, but- ter and condensed milk in 1900, with 233 wage earners and products valued at $2,- 263,893, In 1800 there were fifty-eight es- tablishments, 428 wage earners and products valued at '§1,183,000, The increase in the value of products during the decade was $1,070,895, or 90.5 per cent. The first cream- ery in Nebraska was built {n 1881. Many of those reported in 1900 were conducted on the co-operative plan. One establishment, located at Lincoln, is sald te be the largest of its kind In the United States.

The increase in value of products during the decade was $353,636, or 32.7 per cent. The first brewery in the atate was erected in Omaha in 1859. The industry has been favored by the large quantity of barley raised in the adjoining state of Tows, whose prodiiction of this materlal in 1900 was second only to that of Callfornia. ‘““Ifhera were twenty-one estalishments engaged in the manufacture of planing mill products In 1900, with 293 wage earners and products valued at $886,333.

MAKE STEP TOWARD PEACE British Receive nication Dutch Gevernment. NOTHING DIRECT FROM THE BOERS from Soon to alfour Announces He Hop, Lay Commanication a: Refore the Hox Commons, LONDON, Jan. 28.—The government leader, A. J. Balfour, announced in the House of Commons today that no overtures for peace had been received from any one authorized to speak In behalf of tho Boers. A communication was, however, recelved late Saturday last from the Dutch govern- ment which was now under consideration. Mr. Balfour hoped shortly to lay the com- munication and the reply to it before the house. The government of Holland has offered in the most friendly terms tc help in bring- ing about peace in South Africa. In a com- munication to the' British government. the Dutch government suggestp that it might be permitted to act as a sort of diplomatic agent for the Boer delegates. The government expressly disavows any attempt at intervention and does mot men- tion any terms. It was learned by a rep- resentative of the Associated Press that the British government infers that it would not have been approached unless the Dutch authoritles were convinted that the Boer delegates now in Europe were willing to accept the cardinal points of \the British peace terms, 8o frequently announced In Parliament. Lord Lansdowne, the forelgn secretary, replied in friendly terms to the Nether- lands' proposal, but instituted Inquiries in order to ascertain the extent of the powers delegated to Mr. Kruger and the other Boer representatives in Europe to act in behalf of tho burghers in the fleld. Great doubt is expressed at the Forelgn office here as to whether any negotiations carried on”by the Bder delegates through the Dutch government or other channels will prove effectual. 1t satisfactory guarantees in this respect can bo secured negotiations will be begun immediately. This doubt in regard to the authority of Mr. Kruger and others to speak for the fighting burghers is perceptible in the statement Mr, Balfour made in the House of Commons today, as detailed above. A supplementary Army estimate of £45,- 000,000 was issued this afternoon, making the total expenditure for the army during the year £62,915,000.

B. Rivers, who rooms at the lodging house, 1008 Dodge street, run by Clendlion and his wite. While Rivers was in the police station making his complgint against Clendlion a woman's scream across the street attracted the attention of the officers, and Sergeant Bebout and Officer Baldwin rushed ‘out in time “to catch Clendlion just after he had knocked down his wife in front of thelr home and had started east on Dodge street. The woman sald her husband met her at the door as she went home, about 3 o'clock, and began a fight. He knocked her down and started to cut her throat with a knife, and her screams scared him away.
