They Explain Why They Cannot Make a
One Cent Rate to Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE, WIs.-The special COM
mittee of twenty business men appointed
to make final appeal for a one cent a
mile rate to the Grand Army encamp-
ment reported to the Executive Council
the result of a conference held with
President Miller of the st. Paul Road
and Commercial Agent George, repre-
senting President Hughitt of the North
western. The roads were earnestly re-
quested to help Milwaukee out of her
present embarrassing situation by Civ
ing the rate. President Miller ia reply
declared that it is not in the power of
the ST. Paul and Northwestern ooads to
grant the one cent rate. The rate had
been fixed, re said, by a rule of the
Western States Passenger Association,
and it required the unanimous vote of
all the association members to change
it. He declined to urge any reduction,
but said that if the question came up
again IN the association he would not
oppose it. He said his company would
rather give $4,000 than haul the big
crowd here at the present rate.
i-eT hearing the committees report
the council decided to have the com
mittee make further appeal to the
Central. and Western Associations, and.
if a meeting is held, to appoint sub
committee of three to lay Milwaukee,
situation before them. 1t was resolved
to continue the full preparations to the
end and renew the invitation to every
Grand Army post.

FARM NOTES.
Good Butter Making.

1t may be A. D. 1915 before the CO.
operative creamery, in some of its
forms. VIII have superseded farm butter
making, however DESTROYS we may be of
its earlier adoption by dairy people in
general. In the interval, an immense
amount of butter will continue to be
made at the farm homes. That this
butter would make a motley collection
as In the past, none can dispute, but
there is after all a constantly increasing
amount Of good butter put upon the
market. If people could be induced to
discard their individuality in making,
and adopt some few, definite rules. so
that butter-making could have system
and SameneSS about it. there would be
great advance made. Butter, to bring a
nigh price. must be made of cream not
over thlrty-sIx hours old slightly acid.
1t must be washed free from butter
milk with weak brine. and salted not to
exceed three-quarters of an ounce to the
pound. Butter also needs to be packed
IN some of the cheap but tasteful pack
ages now obtainable, and sent to the
market Immediately. Long-keeping but
ter is no longer called for. Butter is
made to sell, not to keep, and the con-
sumner says, ''to eat fresh. not held until
devoid of fine flavor, or aroma" The
great evil is that so much butter is
made by those who have a few COWS
that they cannot make a speciality of
tine butter-making. and so make as best
suits them. This butter made from old.
and often fermenting cream, is at the
start destitute of butter flavor 1t is
not washed free from butter-milk, but
worked over" with ladies'. ''balled up"
and sent to the grocery store, unpro-
tected from the light and air, and then
consigned to the ''shoe box" When at
last, weeks, may be, though it should
only have been days at the most. this
butter finds its way to the city market
to be rejected and neglected, it is finally
sold for few cents per pound, and act
ually scoffed at by the prescribed cleo
margarine.
The market wants good butter, and
dlscards poor. Why, then, insist upon
furnishing the latter? If one cannot
make fine article and get a good price
for it, either change methods, quit the
business, or, what is better, patronize a
cooperative creamery. There the
material of whole neighborhood can
be massed, rules of production adopted
so that substantial uniformity will be
secured, and final product turned out
that finds its way-at popular prices
to consumers of good butter. The one
is money losing; the latter is money
making. Which shall be the choice?-
Am Agg'ic.

The Utes PLAYING Havoc.

DENVER, Colo.-A prominent cattle
man arrived here from Gunnison, Aug.
2nd, bringing the information that the
Utes are again off their reservation and
creating havoc in the western part of
the State. They travel in small bands,
intimidating ranchers for the purpose of
securing provisions and ammunition.
They are also killing off all the game in
that section, and during one week
slaughtered 400deer for their hides only.
The settlers are becoming aroused and
threaten to go upon a war of extermi-
nation unless something is promptly
done to drive the red marauders upon
their reservation and keep them there.

THE SEA SERPENT IS DEAD.
Capt. Smith Claims to Have Killed the
Hairy Monster.

PANAMA.-Capt. William F. Smith of
the bark Nautilus reports that when off
Cape Berkely, Galapago Islands, the
sea-serpent was seen about thirty yards
from the vessel. Capt. Smith estimated
the serpent's length at eighty feet, and
about as large around as a barrel in the
thickest part. The head was shaped like
a snakes, only on the extreme end of
the upper jaw there was a ridge or
bunch. The head was about three feet
in length, and about two feet back Of
the head was a name of hair. No fins
were seen. The tail was long and taper
ing like that of an eel. All had good
view of him while he was slowly coming
towards the ship. The Captain and
mate loaded two bomb guns and banged
away at him, and for about fifteen min
utes there was quite a circus, the SER
pent flashing the water with his tail and
running his head out four or five feet.
At last he ran out his head, whisked
around, and sank, dead. Both bombs
bit him. When he went down he was
not more than twenty feet from the
ship, and SO, all had good look at him.

Public Lands in Nebraska.

Some figures have just been complied
showing there is yet plenty of room IN
Nebraska for the toiling thousands.
Many even in this state have feared that
the public lands were all taken, and
that homesteading was a thing of the
past. These figures show 2,408,000
acres of public lands in Nebraska sub
ject to entry under the pre-emption,
homestead, or timber culture acts.
They are distributed as follows: In the
Grand Island district, mostly in Greeley
county, about thirty-two thousand
acres; Broken Bow district, mostly in
Custer, about six thousand acres;
O'Neil district, largely in Holt county,
about fifty thousand acres; North
Platte district, embracing the counties
of Lincoln, Perkins, Keith, Logan,
Mcpherson, Arthur, Grant, Hooker,
Thomas, Blaine and the west half of
Dawson counties, about two million
two hundred thousand acres; Chadron
and Sidney districts, embracing coun-
ties in the western part of the state,
about two hundred thousand acres.
Besides these there are thousands of
acres of state school lands which can be
secured on reasonable terms.

Bold Train Robbery.

Saturday evening, Aug. Bird, a train
on the Wabash Western Express was
stopped near Harlem, Mo-, by two rob-
bers who went through one of the
sleepers with drawn revolvers, COM
polling all the passengers to hold up
their hands. About 81 900 and several
watches were secured. The robbers
fired several shots at the conductor,
none of them however taxing effect.
A posse was organized after the thieves
had left the train, but after several
hours pursuit the trail was lost. Many
are wondering if the days of the Jesse
James gang have come again.
