HOW California Butter Ia SOld.

St. Louis Globe Democrat
Butter is made in peculiar way
in California, but is sold in still moro
eccentric fashion. The buttermake or
always turns it out in round rolls,
about half. foot in length, supposed
to weigh two pounds. The dealer
sells it by tho roll and charges for two
pounds, but the roll always lacks from
six to eight ounces Of full weight.
This thing has been going on for y- ars
TO the loss of tho consumer, and with.
out profit 10 any one except the
middeman. The latter BUYS butter
by the pound and sells it by the roll.
so h- makes clear profit on the short
weight. When a man handles several
tons Of butter u day tbs makes large
item. for on each roll he will make
from eight TO ten cents, or ut least
800 on every ton. The dairy man
can't prevent this, As if they made
butter in good two. pound rolls no
commission man would handle il.
What the butter'nakers propose to do
is to establish an honest mould for the
rolls and then sell their butter them>
selves in cooperative market. This
will also run out the oleomargarine
which is SO d by many dealers as
secohd>class butter.

Capt. -, a well known and highly
respected Arkansas Cityite on the shady
side of fifty, widower with Eve child
ren-to give or take-was bantered the
other evening by a miss of FIVE and
twenty. for not taking another wife;
she urged that he was hale and hearty
and deserved a matrimonial messmate.
The captain acknowledged the fact ad-
mitting that he was convinced by the
eloQuence of his friend that he had been
thus very far amiss, and expressed
contrition for the fault confessed; end
ing with Offering himself to the lady,
telling her she could not certainly reject
him after pointing out to him his
heinOus Offense.
The lady replied that she would be
most happy to take the situation SO
uniquely advertised and become bone
of his bone and flesh of his flesh; but
there was one, to her, serious obstacle.
"Well," said the captain, name it.
My profession is TO surmount such OBJ
stacles.''
''Oh! captain, this is beyond your
powers. have vowed, if ever marry
a widower, that he must have ten
children"

What we would like to see as soon as

The fourth of July this year, as cele
brated in Ellinwood, and, In fact, al
over Barton county, was the quletes
| we have ever witnessed. No demon
stration or picnics of any great dimen
sions were attempted. owing to the
lateness of harvest demanding the time
| of majority of the people. In thi:
city the banks remained closed during
the day, while the post Office and tht
business houses closed In the afternoon
and our people then spent the remain
der of the day in various ways. Some
went to picnic at Mr.. Steckle's place
while others were entertained at Mr
IV. S. Musils home, were a hastily
organized band, composed of some o
our citizens, and assisted by several o

What the Beacon Editors Believe"


By persistent effort on the part of the
DEMOCRAT to bring them to the
point the Beacon has at last
mustered the courage TO come out and
state what are the opinions of its edi-
tors on several questions that are now
and have been before the people of
Kansas for some years. We suspected
that the Beacon editor or editors would
not like to have all the readers of the
paper know just how they stood on the
question of prohibition aud female
suffrage, and of course we did not like
to see them thus masquerade for the
purpose of fooling the farmers whom
they assume to lead to political glory.
So, the following was at last pulled out
of them:
I'VE believe that every free citizen,
male or female. should have the right
to vote at all elections; that every law
on our statute books, good or bad,
should be enforced to the letter; that
any officer refusing to enforce the
law should be dismissed from Office, and
pay penalty of six months imprison-
ment; that every man who will not
obey the law should be HANGED or con-
fined to hard labor for life. We believe
in the absolute prohibition of the liquor
manufacture and traffic for any and all
purposes. We believe the editor of the
DEMOCRAT would endorse the alliance
and the peoples party if a reasonable
amount was offered for a change. We
believe these harpings upon outside
issues are Kept up for the purpose OF
prejudicing the Germans of Barton
county against the Beacon. We be-
lieve the Germans have sense enough
to know that this paper has never ad-
vocated these things, that they are not
in our platforms and are not likely .o

Hannibal Hamlin the ex-vice-presi-
dent died on the fourth. He was SO
years old. Wonder if the DRMOCRAT
will take note of the fact. Sam Wood
comes nearer his measure.-Register of
the 9th.
IF YOU will look at the issue of the
DEMOCRAT of the 9th, Caraway, you
will see that it gives three-fourths
column notice of the death of Hon.
Hannibal Hamlin and history of his
career. A further reference to your
own paper, the Register, of the same
date, will show that all mention of the
eminent statesman is confined to the
above two-liner and about two inches
of space on the patent side of your
paper. Are not comparisons some
times odious, Caraway?
