There are 50, 600, 800, coo invested in the
dairying business in this country. That
amount is almost double the money invest
ed in banking and commercial industries.
1t is estimated that it requires $4,000, 600
cows to supply the demand for milk and
its products i'll the United States. To feed
these COWS 60, coo, COO acres of land are I'M
der cultivation. The agricultural land,
dairy, machinery and implements in use are
worth over 5000, 600, 900. The men m
ployed in the business number $50, 000 and
the horses over 1000, coo. The cows and
horses consume annually SO, 900, 600 tons OF
hay, nearly 80, coo, coo bushels of cornmeal,
about the same amount of oatmeal, 215,-
600. 600 bushels oats, 1000, 600 bushels Of
bran. and so, 900, 900 bushels Of corn.
1t costs $3.50, 900, 900 to feed these
COWS and horses. The average price
paid TO the laborer necessary in The dairy
business is probably SEQ per month,
amounting TO $3.50. 600, 000 a year. The
average cow yields $50 gallons Of milk q
year, which gives a total product of6, $780,
600, 900 gallons. Twelve cents a gallon is
a fair price to estimate the value of this
milk at, a total return to the dairy buai-
ness of $50, 900, 600. il they sold all their
| milk as milk. But so per cent. Of the milk
is made into cheese and butter. 1t takes
81 pounds Of milk to make one pound Of
butter. and about 10 pounds Of milk to
make one of cheese.

This is a funny world, or rather there are
many funny people in this world. and the
chances are that we have some in Woods
stOwn quite as funny as can be found in
any other part of our green earth. 1t is
claimed by some that are opposing the
adoption Of electric lights to light the bor-
oagh that some who signed the petition
to Council would not do so again if they
had their time to go over. OF this we have
no means of knowing, but the funny part is
that a prominent opponent, who appears to
be doing more talking than any half dozen
other men, claiming that we will be eaten
up with taxes, pays himself one dollar,
and one dollar only, tax in our Borough.
Although be holds real estate and a goodly
quantity Of personal property-every penny
of its valuation is claimed and deducted off
for debts owing, and the dollar tax which
he is assessed is what he pays for the priv
ilege of voting, and what is generally
known as poll tax. However much others
may or may not get MANNED Or hurt with
burthensome taxes this particular party
will have 10 add more to his accumula-
tions or lessen to his Indebtedness before it
hurts him very seriously. The fact of the
matter is that our heaviest tax payers as a
rule favor the lights, the opposition COM
ing in many cases from just such parties
as noted above.

REPUBLICAN RING RULE,
electing almost the entire county ticket,
and the feeling now is more bitter than
ever before. 1t is said that LOuck's
great ambition is to get into the United
States senate, and he apparently feels
that for the bad things that have been
said against him, that a position of
this kind is a deserving one.
The new element of ''young Republic
cans" are demanding recognition, and
the old combine is trying hard to put
them off with promises, but many of
them have lived for years on promises,
and they don't intend to wait longer
they are getting extremely hungry.
Again, the laying on the shelf Of
Mathews, who worked hard to boost
himself out of Office by the admission

state had once been made to return him

REPUBLICAN RING RULE

Will Have Trouble With the In
dependent Alliance Men South.
Special to the Globe
CAsTALIA, s. D.. June 13.-The polit-
ical questions to be settled this fall in
South Dakota are agitating the minds
of all our people, and when Charles
Mix gets once aroused it means deadly
conflict. The two factions of the Re-
publican party are becoming more de-
termined that this falls campaign must
settle the future of the opposite side.
1t is an old ring against new one.
County affairs cut but little figure, but
the plum that can be obtained through
the Moody. Mellette. Pettigrew COM
bine is what is wanted. Several alli-
ance meetings were held throughout
the county last week by President
of the stock company, and the farmers
begin to feel that they too are entitled
to some recognition, and under the
strong leadership of half dozen or
more men of acknowledged ability it
would seem that ii they are as much in
terested elsewhere as they appear to be
in this county, the coming fight
would be one of more than Ordi-
nary bitterness. This of course is be-
coming more apparent, as it seems
the three distinct elements propose to
fight it out at the Republican state con-
vention. 1t is well known through this
section, where MIR. Needham has many
warm friends from Illinois, that he has
always discouraged any independent
movement on the part of the alliance,
believing that they, as an organization,
could gain more benefits to the farmer
through their old party affiliations than
through any new movement that would
tend to create discord in the ranks.
Now, that many of the other leaders are
falling into line, it is not strange that
A GREAT CONNECTION
should have been created. Alliance
men here say that President Loucks at
one of his meetings very strongly urged
attending the primaries and conven-
ton and staying by the old parties in
such numbers as to capture both state
conventions this fall, and thus
be able to dictate such legislation
through whichever party that
might be successful. Taking the

GRAFTON. N. D.. June 13.-The big

water works were put in occurred to-
day, and it found most Of the firemen at
Fargo attending the firemen's tourna-
ment. The fire started in the rear of
the Merchants hotel, large three-story
building, owned by John 1ldstad. The
house was full of school teachers, who
are here attending the teachers insti-
tute, and grand hustle was made by
them to save their chattels. The COOK
was found in fainting condition on the
sidewalk. She claims to have lost her
trunk containing 5000. The main
structure of the hotel was saved by the
hard work of the boys who were left at
home, but was badly soaked by water.
Willing citizens assisted. and in short
time had two streams of water playing
on the flames. The loss will foot up

Lains' Furniture Store Visited by

George ii. Lains' furniture store, at

crackers between and o'clock yester-
day morning. After saving off one side
of the handle Oh the safe door ana drill
ing two holes the door was blown off
with dynamite cartridge. Tie cracks
men were poorly rewarded for their
work. as the strong iron box contained
but about $50 in money besides watch
and valuable pair of lady's bracelets.
They were leaving the building with
these when observed by Patrolman
Gerber, who ordered them to halt, where
upon they broke into run. The
officer fired several shots at the two
fleeing men and gave chase, the men
then returning his fire. He chased them
through several alleys, following them to
Tenth and Robert streets, where he fell
on stone pile, badly bruising his knee,
and lost sight of them. The job was a
losing venture for the cracksmen, as
they left behind them when pursued an
expensive kit of burglars tools, includ-
ing a fine ''screw" and drills, which
are worth considerable more than the
booty secured.
