Good Milk.

So car efully are germs avoided in the
dairies of Denmark that the celebrated
butter of the country, much of which
is sent to England, is washed when
necessary in water that has been
boiled The butter is, however, rarely
washed, but is first worked over by
hand by girls who are scrupulously
clean, and afterward finished by ma
chinery. This butter, which is made
with the greatest care, from milk that
is strained through flannel and after
ward filtered through clean gravel, IS
white in color when finished, and is
artificiaIly colored. 1t is very little
sailed when used at home, but more or
less salt is added when it is sent as far
as England. 1t is said to retain it's fine
quality when shipped better than any
butter known. AS an incentive to furn-
ish only pure milk, the owners of the
cows are under contract to notify the
buyers at once if there is any sickness
in their herd. The milk is then bought
from them and paid for at the usual
price, but it is thrown away.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

'Great wits are sure to madness neaR

who cater to the amusement of the
public seems to be the madhouse.
Daumier, the greatest of French car

away his pencil and retiring to vege-
tate in the country. Gill, Grevin, Guy
de Maupassant died lunatics. 1t is
now the turn of Jules Jcuy, the comic
singer, who sang with irresistible fun
his exquisitely finished ditties. AS
they dealt with current events, he was
always on the lookout to give a fresh

hackneyed. His anti-Paulus music
hall campaign against General Bou-
LANCER made him suddenly famous

found themselves eclipsed. The salons
followed Montmartre in lionizing him.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by Topeka Grain and stock TX
change, Room 8, Columbian Building.
Chicago-Wheat opened &c lower
than last nights close on easier cables
and in sympathy with weakness in corn.
Il steadied up Immediately after the
opening and rallied quickly to 691sc on
covering by shorts, but lack of outside
buying failing to materiaIize, it slowly
declined to yesterdays low point &C. &C.
At this point foreign cables came show
ing estimates of large decrease ranging
from 100,000,OO0 to 125, 100000 bush
els in the European crop, and. the
prevalence of heavy rains in France dur
ing the present harvest which caused
wave of buying orders which soon adj
vanced the market to near the high point
again. The opinion 10 growing among
professional traders and observant out
siders that the market is at or near the
bottom. The very light crop at home
and the poor outlook abroad have con-
vinced sven the most pessimistic believ-
ers in low prices that this is to be bull
year from now on. On all breaks of one
cent we advise buying wheat for good
turn.
Corn has acted weak all day, but we
would advise caution in selling as we be-
lieve that the market is largely over sold
and is likely to get a very quick rally at
any mOAouI OopIeuOoE 10 NV sSiiAnS
on the cash and while we believe shat
corn is a good sale on all bulges, yet we
advise caution selling at present prices.
Oats-We believe oats are good pur-
| chase at the present price ana should
they go lower we advise buying.
Provisions-Pork has acted stronger
for the past too, and as predicted in ours
of last week we advise buying pork
around $500, as we expect a very sharp
advance and it is sure to make handsome
| profits.

This is the greatest show

ever been able to make for

This is a greater figure
than was reached by any

the average daily circula-

Boston, Mass. Aug. 8-Charles Clark,
the missiag witness in the case of Theo-
dore Durrant, to be tried in San Fran
cisco for murder, was interviewed just
before his departure for the west last
night He emphatically declared that
he knew absolutely nothing that
had any bearing on the murders
and that because of casual
remark the lawyers for the defense had
sought to stay proceedings through the
use of his name. He said he did not
know Durraut and never saw him.
One of the murdered girls, Blanche
Lamont, he knew by sight, but he had
never met her in fact He had seen her
on a street car with young man, and
he had made a remark to that effect to a
lawyer.
The outcome has been his figuring as
the important witness. He had thought
it over for days, and had concluded that
it was fully two or three weeks before
the murder when he last saw the girl,
and that her companion was not Dur
