Galesville, Wis, June 4.-[Speciall +
Farmers in this quarter are more than
pleased with the crop outlook. The
frosts of several weeks back did no seri-
GUS damage to the corn crop, though the
plants were cut off to the ground. Warm
rains and sunshine have brought the corn
up again, and the fields never looked bet
ter. All other grains are in the best of
condition, and the harvest will be bounte-
ous There is no indication that bugs or
worms will infest the crops before ma
turity.
Augusta, Wis, June 4.-[Special.] 1.-The
effects of the recent frosts upon the small
grains has showed itself very fast dur
ing the past week of warm weather. A
great many fields of late-sown oats have

tirely dead. In the vicinity of Osseo,
twelve miles southwest of here, the dam
age is still greater than here, as on sandy
soil the damage seems to be the most.

WILL TEST THE LAW.
Alleged Violation of the OleOmargarine

Alleged Violation Oh the A1eOmaTSar1n0
Law at Madison.
Madison, Wis, June 5.-[SpeciaI- 1.-The
first test of the new Wisconsin oIeomar-
garine law will be made in this city. Last
evening warrants sworn out by Dairy and
Food Commissioner III. G. Adams were
served on Cory Bros. and the Alex. Find
lay company for alleged violation of the
law. 1t is not claimed the product they sold
was not properly labeled, it being sold in
original packages as bought from Chi
cago firm, and labeled 'butterine." But
the new law further provides that cleo
margarine and kindred products shall
not be colored to resemble butter, and it
is in this respect it is claimed the law is
violated Wisconsin's law is copied after
the Massachusetts statute, which has
been neld constitutional, but Madison
merchants will probably test it's validity
here.
The case was called before Judge Dono-
van this afternoon and postponement tax

further time to look into the matter. The
penalty is $50 to $500 fine for the first of

Aprons for Fancy Work.

Every girl who does much fancy work
should have aprons, not so much to pro-
tect her dress, as to keep the work from
being soiled. These aprons should be
small and have two pockets, one at either
side, or one long pocket made by turning
up the bottom of the apron and stitching
it. The latter style is most convenient
for catching spools of thread and silk,
which are always rolling off ones lap.
Aprons for fancy work may be of silk,
but washable materials are better, for
then you can be sure that they are free
from dust, which might injure delicate en-
briodery Beware of trimmings which
might catch a thread either in your work
or in your needle. When you have fin
ished sewing, fold your apron carefully,
wrong side out, and put it in a box or
drawer with your work. Much of the
beauty of fancy work consists in it's dain-
tiness, and to insure this the greatest care
is required from first to last.-BrookIyn

Washington, D c., June 4.-The state
department today received from United
States Minister Taylor at Madrid the
complete and final answer Of Spain to
the demand of Secretary Gresham for a
cHisavowal for the firing on the United

The answer is most cordial in tone and is
expressive of the fullest disavowal of the
course of the commander of the Spanish
gunboat which fired on the Alliance. 1t
was said to be entirely satisfactory to
this government as it fully meets in let
ter and spirit the demands made.
