Racket in the Cheese Camp.

A little breeze was raised among the
wholesale cheese dealers here last week
on account of reduction being made in
the billing prices on cheese on or about
the first day of the present month, appar-
emily from personal motives
The next thing in order was to find out
who the cutter was. Some Of the dealers
denied the charge very emphatically,
while others did not care to make any
verbal statement. The matter was rather
settled upon one firm who had refuted the
charge. This caused the accused firm to
place tracers on the track and in few
days cheese was ordered returned from
a commission house in Cincinnati, that
satisfied all concerned who the cutter was.
The tell-tale cheese is still on exhibition.

To the Ladies.

The coming Memorial day tenderly re-
minds every loyal American citizen of the
sacred obligation resting upon each
one to hold in grateful remembrance
the heroic men who in the strength OF
their royal manhood faced glittering bay
onet ana cannon's mouth and made of
their own living bodies a barrier against
the schorching tides Of war and, at the
cost OF all things, brought victory to the
Union army, freedom TO millions and
peace, prosperity and joy to mighty ma
ton. As we approach this sacred day,
the observance of which rests as a
duty upon every member OF the Woman's
Relief Corps, we ask all to unite with us
in keeping this anniversary in such man
ner that the deeds of the braYe soldiers of
the Republic will be craven still deeper
In the hearts of this people and our loyal
ty to free government become firmer
principle. Let all who can join with US
in this work, that every veterans grave
may be remembered.
Natures choicest emblems of beauty
and remembrance are seen In the flow
ers that bloom in the month of May. In
the woods, on the public highway, in the
cottages of the poor and the conservatories
OF the homes Of wealth, do we find these
beauties Of nature. Let them be gathered
and bestowed in memory OF our nations
defenders. Mothers, let US teach our sons
and daughters TO gather the blue forget
me-nots and bright spring flowers for this
sacred occasion and thereby entwine in
their tender minds loving thoughts and
memories OF those whose deeds form the
warp and woof of great history, and in
culcate in them true lessons of loyalty and
patriotism. Mrs. LURANA WILLARD, !

The Railways.

One year ago General Manager Beach
Of the Bee Line issued an order that moth
ing but live stock and perishable goods
should be carried over the line ON Sunday.
Mr.. Beach soon resigned and the order
was virtually ignored. In fact, the traffic
was increased, II anything, on that day.
Now, under the summer schedule, twenty.
four regular trains are listed to run on the
Sabbath day. Consequently, the people
will be unable to discover when Sunday
comes, so far as railroad business is con-
cerned. The employees, Of course, do not
performs the labor out Of pleasure, but
merely to hold their positions. There
fore, the heads Of the departments must
be 10 blame for ordering the subordina,es
to perform common labor on Sunday. II
any man in Wellington, except he be a
Seyen Day Adventist, performed unneces-
sary laboron Sunday,he would be arrested,
found guilty and fined; but on the other
hand, 140 men can violate the law for
railroad company and 90 scot free.
As II now stands, railroad officials ap-
pear to have no regard for the Sabbath
day as far as their works show. Half of
their trains are billed 10 run on Sunday.
The W. & L. e. company run their usu-
al number Of trains on Sunday, but for
the elevation Of mankind, we trust that
when the officials are framing q card for
the summer change, they will Remember
the Sabbath day to keep 1t holy"
