CHICAGO, September 23.--A local

George J.. Kimball, a dealer in win
dow glass, in regard to the Uuited
Glass company purchasing all tho
window glass plants in Illinois in
which Mr. KimbOll said a window

that the committee TO arrange for the

Strentor, Ottowa, Rock Island and

"That docs not seem TO be n very
great amount Of money, but there is
where the farmer is mistaken, SLIGO
per day and thirty days in month
makes thesnug little sum OF $48 per
month from his ten COWS; six times
forty-oight gives for six months the
sun Of $2S8. Now I would like to
have some good, practical farmer
figure Rndexpluin how many days
and hours he would have to work him
self and team in the broiling sun to
realize that cmount raising grain
Now this dairy business is all done
when the day iscool. Ifaman chooses
to raise grain in connection with the
dairy, which we think very essential,
he has ebout all the time each day"
Itwould not be good policy TO over
estimate the possibilities Of the dairy
as disappointments the result Of mex
perience or any other causes would
lead to encouragement, but Tho testi-
mony here introduced is based upon
long gpersonal experience Of the writers
and must be accepted as of practical
value. Another fact that should have
due weight in the consideration Of
this question in the comparative pros
perity of dairy districts and districts
devoted TO the production Of grain
and live stock. While there is little
complaint of hard times in the former
the business Of the latter is depressed
and the universal testimony is that
this class Of agricultural products is
no longer profitable to the producer.
The subject is worthy Of the most
thorough investigation by farmers
and business men and should receive
the attention at this time that its inn
portance merits.

THE CREAMERY QUESTION.
Some Testimony bOsed upon Experi-

tistics OF the dairy industry in that
state. AS the conditions both favora-
bic and unlavorablo to this industry
are practically the same in Kansas and
Nebraska we reproduce a portion Of
his article and statistics for tho bone
At of those who are now considering
the project o. establishing this busi-
ness in ourtown. With regard TO the
profit Of the business Mr.. BNesett says:
Profit in dairying depends largely
upon the cost Of production, for only
q rcw comparatively, can sell their
goods at fancy prices, and whom it
comes to,the general market, whore
dairy products nre sold on their mer-
its only, cost Of production, quality Of
goods and expenses Of marketing de-
termine the question Of profit ia Che
business. For with wholesome food,
pure warer, and healthy COWS, it is
now possible to control tho other con-
Gitions, and produce % fine quality Of
either butter or cheese In consider
ing the adaptability Of any state or
locality to the dairy industry, the os-
sentials arc; cost Of feed for the COWS
the water supply, and, expense Of
making and marketing, In these inn
portant respects Nebraska is as woll
favoredas any state in The Union"
What the writer says with regard
to the adaptability of Nebraska to
this industry both in regard to ubun-
dance and cheapness Of feed and ex-
pense Of making and marketing dairy
products is equally true Of Kansas.
Like every other industry in order to
make it d success, those who engage
in the dairy business must fully pro-
pare for il. II will not do to expect
the best results or the most ample ro-
turns from ordinary COWS or from
wild grass pastures. The selection Of
stock with strict regard to merit for
dairy purposes, and the provision Of
tame grasses for food products are es-
sential to the highest degree Of profit
and these will all beprovided as soon
as their necessity is realized. Mr.
Bassett discusses at some length the
question Of food for dairy COWS, and
also the necessity for pure water, but
the part Of his communication Of
most interest to us at the present
time is that which relates to market
ing the products Of the Nebraska dai-
ry and tho profits Of the business in
that state. As the conditions reall
similar in Kansas what he says upon
this subiectin relation to Nebraska
we may justly assume to DO true in
our own locality.
"On first thoughtit would seem that
Nebraska was at q disadvantage, as
compared with other dairy states, in
the marketing Of it's dairy products.
But such is not the case to any great
extent. To the west of us, and nearer
than to any other dairy state, are the
large and growing markets Of Colora-

perfected their refrigerator cars TINT
Nebraska butter and cheese can be
placed on the tables Of the eastern
consumer as fresh rs when from the
chun or curing room, at an expense
Of less than 2 cents per pound for
freight. Evcn dairy products manu-
iactured in far eastern states cannot
bc marketed Mt IN average expense
for freight OF less than ono cent pcr
pound
The statistics or tho amount and
value Of the dairy product Of the
state for the year 1888 indicate this
industry to be in very prosperous
condition. We extract tho following
from his figures for the year 1888:
Total number OF dairy cows 8O0OO0.
Total value Of dairy cows S7,9OOOOO.
Toiawme Of dairy products siO,6OoOOO,
These figures Indicate on average in
come Of $35 for each Of the 100000
dairy cows, and this is certainly IN
encouraging exhibit. The above state
ment is also in harmony with that
OF d. M. Case another correspondent
Of the samc journal. He Introduces
his subject by statement Of his own
experience in the dairy business as
follows:
"In my Inst / gave you but tho out
line Of cheese making. In tho year
1895 learned the first rudimonts Of
cheese making, that is milking cows
and it has been my lot to be in sight
OF the business ever since that time.
My first twenty-five years was in the
state ofNew York. Why I give this
bit of history is to give your readers
the difference between making cheese
in New York and Nebraska. Before
q farmer could become a cheese-mak
er in New York, sixty years ago, he
had to be a wood chopper for at least
ten years. At tho end Of that time, if
he was q successful wood-chopper, he
would have sufficient land cleared Of
timber to pasture ten cows. This may
look strange to people raised on the
prairies Of Nebraska, but such is the
fact.
Now for the difference between the
prairies Of Nebraska and the woods
and rocks Of New York; nature has
furnished everything necessary at
hand for the dairymaE to commence
with he has no timber or rocks to
move in order that he may cut hay for
his stock He is better prepared for
commencing the dairy business when
he unloads his prairie schooner than
it was possible to get in New York
fifty years ago after his ten years
chopping and moving rocks"
With regard to markets Mr.. Case
says:
"Herkimer county, N. Y, is tho fa-
ther and birth place Of dairying in
the United States. To-day cheese is
quoted from q to3 cents higher in
Omaha and Kansas City than in New
York, which goes to show that the

GAINESVILLE, January 24.-New3 of the
shooting of Miss Graft at Burlington,
Montague county, last Monday night,
reached here to-day. Ed Thomas got full
of bad whisky while attending dance in
Burlington, Montague county, last Mon
day night, and becoming offended at a
young lady by the name of Miss Graft, be-
cause she had refused to allow him to
accompany her home, went out into the
yard and shot back into the house and
into the crowd of dancers while quadrille
was in progress. The bullet struck
the foot of Miss Graft, entering it at the
instep and coming out at the heel, making
wound which the attending physician
says will necessitate the amputation of
the wounded member. An officer was
standing near Thomas when he fred into
the crowd of dancers and arrested him
before he had an opportunity to shoot the
second time.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
WACO, January 24.-Oonsiderabl in
terest is being taken here in the fight
which is going on in Austin over the pro-
posed new charter for Waco. Alderman
Caruthers, who went down to represent
the city council, and Mr.. James 1. Moore,
who repre- sents the opposition, returned
to-day, having presented the matter to
committee appointed by the senate, but
returned to Austin tonight on receipt of
a telegram from Representative Seth Mills,
stating committee from the house had
been appointed to hear the matter. The
strenuous opposition was caused by pro-
posed widening of the corporate limits,
which is opposed by all those who reside
within the new boundaries, with only
one or two exceptions, and the
war has been waging between those
persons and the city council until
recently when the ventilation of the char
ter by the nonresident opponents has
brought out some points that are being
opposed by people within the city limits.
The opposition is organized and is fight
ing the city council with all the tactics
known to politics, while the average oitl-
zen on the inside has as yet taken no in
rerest ia the matter.

was-hurglarized again last night, which is
the third time during the last six months.
This time the robbers got of with quite a

fourteen sample boots, all for the right
foot. The victim of these rob-
berries is a liberal advertiser. AS a
proof that he is known abroad the
robbery before this was committed by
parties from away up in Arkansas.
The excitement concerning the fire has
somewhat subsided, but there is deep

has been ascertained beyond doubt that
it was not accidental.

o'BRIEN's TRIAL.


DUBLIN, January 24.-The trial of Mr..
VIM. O'Brien, on a charge of conspiracy,
began to-day at Csrrick-on-Luir, county
TIpperary. The government had issued
proclamation forbidding any demonstra-
tion at the coming of Mr.. O'Brien, but,
despite this action, 1000 persons
gathered around about the court house.
Six hundred policemen charged the crowd
using their batons freely, but were unable
to disperse the gathering Excitement in
the town is feverish. As Mr.. O'Brien en-
tered the court house he was greeted with
vociferous cheers. His defense will be
conducted by Mr.. Timothy Haley.
While Mr.. O'Brien was striving to pass
through the crowd to enter the court house,
he was seized by a police inspector and
dragged for thirty yards. The people
were maddened by this treatment of Mr..
O'Brien and pressed forward to re-
lieve him from the hands of the
Inspector. The police, however, repulsed
the crowd. Mr.. Timothy Haley, who had
stepped forward near Mr.. O'Brien, was
met by bayonet levelled to his breast,
but he was uninjured. A number of re-
Mr.. O'Brien complained to the magistrate
that the police we're attempting to incite
bloody riot.
When the case for the crown had been
presented, Mr.. Haley, on behalf of the
defendant, applied for subp@nas for
Lord Salisbury'and Mr.. Balfour, both of
whom he asserted had made speeches
similar to those of Mr.. O'Briens. The
court refused to issue the subpeuas. The
spectators in the court room received this
decision with jeers, and the magistrate
ordered the galleries to be cleared. While
this was being done Mr.. O'Brien ex
claimed:
"I'l clear out ALSO"
He started for the door. The magis
trates shouted:
"Stop him!"
The constable grabbed Mr.. O'Brien
After a sharp struggle, O'Brien with the
aid of some of the spectators managed tC
reach the street with no worse
damage than torn coat An
immense crowd escorted Mr.. O'Brier
through the town. The police useG
their batons without mercy upon the peo
pie, who responded with stones an(
bricks. During the melee Mr.. O'Brier
was struck violently in the breast with {
rifle stock. Scores of persons we're in
! iured. The court issued warrant for thu
arrest of Mr.. O'Brien and then adjourned
The police with fixed bayonets are patrol

A GERMAN ACCOUNT.
The Late Outrsges at Samoa as Viewso IN

The Late Outrages at Samoa as Viewed IN
Berlin.
WASHINGTON, January 24.-Dispatches
have been received at the state depart
ment from Mr.. P Pe1dleton, American min
lister at Berlin, in regard to the Samoan
question. Their contents are withheld
from the public, except some extracts
from German newspapers giving accounts
of and commenting upon the fight
in which so many Germans lost
their lives. The previous languid tone
of the press in regard to Samoan affairs
has been quickened to fever heat by the
"Das Kleine" Journal of Berlin, of the
18th inst, which says:
According to official reports from Apia
on the 28th of December the landing
corps of the Olga was sent to accom- pany
the German consul to the scene
of the war of the natives in
consequence of the destruction of Ger
man property and bodily insults to the
marines while on leave, the consul going
there for the purpose of instituting dis
armament. On the way to the Roille
plantation, the landing corps of the
Olga was by surprise attacked by the
insurrectionists under the leader
ship of an American, Kleine. The
landing being thereupon made by the
landing corps of the Olga, the cruiser
Adler and the gunboat Elso, the natives
were thrown back and several of their
villages situated on the coast destroyed.
Lieutenant Si.ger and fifteen men were
left dead. Lieutensnts Spengler and
Burchardt, as we'll as thirty-six men were
wounded. 1t was victory but costly
one and not one to be rejoiced over.
German meddling in the quarrels
of Kings Mataafa, Malietoa,
and Tamassee has been hailed with re-
joicIng from several quarters for the
reason that the final result of the business
was expected to be the occupation of
Samoa by the German empire. England
and the United States do not, however,
agree to such a consummation, and now
we have even lost number of men in
battle with the despised nations-a new
leaf in the history of our colonial policy
"a laurel leaf, but what sort of onef'
