The nights milk should be carefully
strained and cooled in water and the
vessel, containing it should stand ont
Of door, uncovered all night. Where
six or o cows are kept there Is no
better vessel than the twenty-gallon,
iron-clad milk can. For a less amount
Of milk. any wide-mouthed receptacle
will do. The mornings milk should
be we'll cooled and aired out Of doors
until at least seven o'clock. The
proper temperature for coagulation Is
about So. Some kind Of a warm bath
Is needed in which to place the milk.
A ,mall-sized ,eIf-heating vat is the
best possible contrivance. Without
the plan of the inner and outer watts no
sort Of control or certainty of tempera-
turc can be- had.
An i]mproyised vat IS the wash
boiler. with some smaller tin vessel
placed inside Of it and the remain
ing space filled with water. Most eX-
ceIlent cheese has been made with such
utensils. Whatever the appliance, the
water and milk should be carefully
warmed until the latter shows the
needed eIcya'ing temperature. The
prepared rennet Of the trade is the
best possible form for small makers.
Use il according to the directions for
bringing a good, firm curd in fifty
minutes. The tluid-OunCe glass Of the
apothccary is the best measure of the
rennet. Stir the milk gently for a few
minutes after pouring in the rennet.
and at the same time add whatever
coloring matter is desired. \ cover
should be placed over the vessel to
prevent undue radiation Of the heat.
When the milk will curd before the
fingers. cut it with a regular curd
knife composed Of some h~alf-dozen
blades. Cut down and across the vat.
Then stir the curd a little with the
hands, If but one knife is in
Use. Again cut back and forth
till the pieces Of the curd are,
say, half an inch in size. Then rest,
to allow whcying off to SCI In. for
about ten minutes. After that with
hands and knife stir and cut till the
curd is a, fine as small peas. Now
apply more fire and gradually raise
the temperature Of the whey to blood
heat, 9So. This should occupy an in
tcrval Of at least half an hour. In
this time keep the curd and whey in
constant motion, that every particle
may have a uniform condition with the
rest. This stage Of work should be
finished about ten o'clock,
Now wash down the sides Of the vat
with the warm whey. give it a good
stirring, cover the whole with q cloth,
and leave rcnnct, curd and whey at
blood heat, to act upon each other till
the needed changes in condition set in.
A Slight souring Of the curd and whey
is the sensible evidence OF the change
to look for. This should be noted
about noontime, but perhaps later.
There are attendant indications which
the observer will note, but the APP
proach Of the acid state i, the p%artic-
ular point for a beginner to look for.

The forage of the farm fed upon the farm

Do not hesitate to Paris green the potato

The TALENTED Extsnt 70 which Lavy'
May Indulge In IL.

The Unlimited Eztsnt to which Lawyers
May Indulge in II.
1t has long been accepted as estab-
lished law that the attorney for the
defense has unlimited license to abuse
the plaintiff and the plaintiffs wit
nesses. and that the counsel for the
plaintiff has a corresponding liberty as
respects the defendant and his wit
nesses. From time immemorial law
yers have availed themselves without
scruple of this privilege of the bar to
the discontinue and modification
the men who seek to get justice or de-
feat it through the courts. Occasion
ally the lawyers fall foul of each
other. but that is considered unparlia-
mentary, and the court is generally
ready to defend its officers, the attor-
neys, from the too fragrant abuse by
each other. 1t is rare, however, that
the court interferes to protect the
parties to a suit from the malignant
tongue of paid attorney who appears
against them.
A citizen Of Maryland who had been
abused like pickpocket by the attor-
ney for the other side in q case in
which he was a party, took the novel
course of suing the abusive lawyer
for SANDER. Slandered he undoubt-
edly had been, but he has found
that it is the privilege of lawyers to
SANDER and libel too, and the court
will protect them in it. So long as the
defamation was uttered in his charac-
ter Of counsel, says the Maryland
Court Of Appeal. or is relevant to the
issue. an action of SANDER against the
lawyer who uttered it will not lie. The
court adds, however, that such an ac-
ton may be maintained against a cOun
sci who in the discharge of his duties
'.assails wantOnly persons character
and utters maliciously what he knows
to be false and in regard to a matter
that has no relation to the subject mat
ter of the inquiry"
The difficulty Of proving the irrele-
vancy of the SANDER and the malice of
the slanderer will not encourage suits
Of this character against lawyers who
abuse the parties in a suit to which
they are opposed merely as trick Of
their trade. The perfunctory charac-
ter Of this abuse is, to a large extent,
its own corrective. No one attaches
any particular value to the aspersiOns
and insinuations Of lawyer made
solely with the view of winning the
case at issue. 1t may chagrin and
anger the person abused at the time,
and even prejudice his case with the
jury. but unless it is founded on indis-
putable facts it rarely hurts outside of
the place in which it is uttered.-Ri'-

Fremont EmmOns Lynched for the Murder
OF Bertha Schultz-His Last Words =

Enmons, the murderer Of Bertha Schultz.
was brought here from Beatrice Monday
for preliminary examination and bound
over to the district court. His presence
caused great excitement and about mid.
night a crowd began to gather, determined
to lynch him. He was concealed in the
third story of the court house, but the
crowd soon discovered his hiding place
and took him away from the officials by
force. A rope was placed around his neck
and he was led through the public streets
to the high Chicago, Kansas s. Nebraska
trestle over the Burlington & Missouri
track. Arriving there the citizens asked
that Emmons should be identified as tho
party wanted. The Identification was COM
plete and he was given an opportunity to
make a statement. He gave the history Of
his life for the past two years, in which he
claimed to have been Christian, but had
lately fallen from grace. He admonished
the young men to reform from the habit Of
using strong drink. He also stated that
he had been disappointed in love and that
Miss Schultz had circulated false reportc
in regard to him. He maintained that he
knew nothing about committing the MUIR
der and asked if a minister was present
and that if he would pray for him, after
which he asked to pray for himself. In
his prayer he asked God to forgive him for
committing the murder and that God would
forgive all those who were implicated in
Furnishing him if they were guilty of any
sin.
The doomed man then took several steps
further out on the trestle and his arms be-
ing tied behind him and his legs free he
was told to jump. The rope was fastened
to a cross tie on the wagon roadway and
Emmons jumped about thirteen feet and
died without struggle.
About seven O'Clock last Thursday even.
ing Emmons who was second cook a: the
Exchange Hotel deliberately went into the
back yard where Bertha Schultz, q cham
bermaid, was hanging out clothes, grasped
her by the right arm, pulled her half
around and thrust q knife into her left
breast with such force that the blow was
heard by passers by quite a distance away.
When he withdrew the knife, the girl
screamed, took few steps and fell dead.
The murderer was arrested and later taken
to Beatrice to prevent the enraged citizens
lynching him. The weapon used was q
shoe knife, which he had sharpened for the
purpose. He had asked the girl to marry
him, but she had refused. Emmons was
good looking, intelligent man, aged about
twenty-five years. He was at one time
Methodist evangelist.

A Story Of Elizabeth Oakes Smiths Child

Writing from Hollywood, N. c.,
Elizabeth Cakes Smith tells an inter-
esting story of her childhood's life in
Maine. One evening, when her father
was at sea and her mother was putting
the children to bed, six tall, blanketed
Indians stalked into the house. They
gave mother to understand that they
wanted fire-water," said the writer.
ITO this she gave firm answer that
she had nOne-but she would give
them something to eat, and brought
forward bread. meat, pie and cheese,

is not delicate in kind, and they soon

in a high-backed rocking chair with
me in her lap. and my sister, two years
older. standing behind her. and the
young girl upon a stool at her feet.
Be it remembered that they were three
quarters of a mile from any other
dwelling, and the night was far spent.
At length the chief made her to UNI

CONGRESS WAKING up.
The Slaughter In the Neutral Strip ARGUS,
Congress to . National Disgrace.

The Slaughter In the Neutral Strip Aro1sss
Congress to . National Disgrace.
WASHINGTON, July 81. The recent
troubles in Stevens County, Kan, ending
in murder in No. Mans Land, have aroused
some more of the apathetic Congressman
to the fact that at least one section of the
country is devoid of law. Many Of the
opponents of the proposed legislation con-
corning o-Man's-Land now concede that
Congress ought to do something to place
that territory under the jurisdiction of
courts at law. Representative Peters, Of
Kansas, whose district includes Stevens
County and borders on No-Man's.La Land,
has received from Governor Martin an OH.
cial statement as to the resent outrages
upon law and order and an appeal for
Congressional action. 1t is probable that
the other members of the Kansas delega.
ton will receive similar communications.
Many of Congressman Peters constituents
along the Indian Territory border ara also
appealing for legislation which will place
No. Mans. Land under authority of law.
Two bills, either Of which would effect
the necessary relief, are now before Con.
gress. One 10 the Springer bill. creating
the Territory Of Oklahoma. 1t includes
Oklahoma, the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Reservation, the Cherokee Strip, No Mans
Land and portions of several small reser.
vations. Under the provisions of the bill
q commission is authorized to settle with
the Indians and finally adjust all treaties
relating to the lands involved. A terri.
torial form Of government would then be
extended over the country, and the laws Of
the United States could then he enforced
by the courts.
The other bill is the No-Man's-Land bill
introduced in the Senate by Mr.. voorhees,.
1t passed the Senate some time ago, and is
now before the House, reported favorably
from Mr., Holman's Committee on Public
Lands. 1t attaches No-Man's-Land to the
State for judicial purposes, and throws the
lands open to settlers under the Home
stead law. No Man's-Land and the three
adjoining counties of Seward, Stevens and
Morton, in Kansas, it is provided shall
constitute q new land district. Mr..
Springer's bill has been before the House
upon two occasions recently and five sec.
tons of the measure have been adopted.
1t is now on the calendar as unfinished
business before the Committee OF the
Whole House and is likely to come up
again in a few days. The advocates Of
each measure have renewed their sclicita.
tons to the members of the House to pass
it as early as possible.
The two measures are somewhat antag.
onistic. however, inasmuch that the pas.
sage of one means the uselessness and
consequent defeat of the other. No. Mans.
Land now seems to be the principal argd.
ment in favor of each measure, and the
recent trouble in that section of the Terri.
tory only adds to its force. Unless the
friends OF the respective measures become
involved in bitter fight for the suprem-
acy, it now seems probable that Congress
will give No an's-Land the legislation it
bills.
