Creamery Opens for Business.


We take pleasure in announcing to
the farmers of Sumner county that
our creamery at Wellington is about
completed, and equipped with the
most improved machinery. We will
begin buying milk December 18th.
We request all those who contemplate
patronizing the creamery to make an
effort to bring what milk they can on
the day we begin operations. We
wish the milk TO be delivered before
10 o'clock if possible. Anyone want
ing cans can get them at The creamery
at very low cost. We will furnish
them for two months free of charge.
to be returned if the patron is not
satisfied with. his price or the manage.
ment; to be paid for if the patron
wishes to continue.
The skinned milk will be returned
to the farmers at One-half cent per
gallon. We will buy milk according
to its quality, as measured by the
BabcOck test, or rather, we pay for
the butter fat in the milk. That is,
with butter at 20 cents a ID. 100 lbs. of
milk which contain four and one-half
lbs. Of butter-fat, is worth 80 cents.
As the price we get for butter is
constantly changing, owing to the law
Of supply ard demand, it is neither
wise nor practicable to fix the price
of butter at the creamery until the
end Of the month when our accounts
will show us the average quality of
milk, the average price received for
butter and the cost of production.
This plan has been universally
approved by creamery men and dairy
men as the only satisfactory way.
Fer December we expect to pay not
less than Is or 10 cents per 10. for
butter fat. We pay on the 18th OF
every month for the milk of the
preceding month. This allows the
secretary time to collect the various
reports and to make out bills and
checks. We will receive the milk 3
or times each week, during the
winter, emily requiring that IL be
kept sweet, clean and free Of taints.
knowing that the majority Of farmers
have but few cows, and that il will
not pay for each patron TO deliver
only his own milk, we suggest that
the farmers of a community secure
some ono to haul their milk at about
10 or II cents perl0O. This is cheaper
than for each one to deliver it and
Will lay the nanler TOT MS Work. 10
many cases 8 or 6 farmers join In the
delivering, and as we take the milk
but three times each week, the
labor of taking the milk is very
much lessened, and the extra expense
would thereby be saved.
The Wellington Creamery Co. feels
justified 10 assuring that the
creamery business will meet with the
hearty approval and support Of the
farmers, and will be a complete
success. The Hesston Co. has now p
creameris in operation. Few Of them
are so well located as the Wellington
creamery. Every one has proven a
success, and they are recognized as a
benefit to the community.

Prince Henry OF Bnttenburg.

Following are two verses from
a poem by Mr.. Alfred Austin, the
new poet laureate, which appear
ed in the London Times Of Feb.
9th, the day after the funeral OF
Prince Henry of Battenberg:
WHO WOULD NOT DIE FOR ENGLAND!
wHIPPINGHAM- sANDRINGHAM,
FEBRUARY, 1896.
Who would not die for England!
This great thought,
Through centuries of Glory handed down
BY storied vault in monumental fame,
And homeless grave in lone barbarc lands,
Homeless but not forgotten, SO can thrill
With its imperious call the hearts of men,
That suddenly from dwarf ignoble lives
They rise to heights of nobleness, and spurn
The languid couch of safety, to embrace
Duty and Death that overcome were twin.
"who would not die for England,'
Thus He said,
Who at the holiest of all English hearths,
The hottest and the highest, had been given
A seat, an English Princess for his bride
Now by that hearth weeping her widowed
tears,
Bitter and barren as the winter rain
at is not meet that ], whom this famed
Isle,
This generous, mighty and majestic Land,
Ennobled as her son, should not repay
Her splendid gift of kinship. Let me go,
Go where they go, her understanding
race,
That slumber pillowed on the half-drawn
sword,
And wake, at whisper of her will. to greet
Duty and Death that oyermore were twin,
Who would not die for England

What do the people think Of this in

Foraker's speech, and is not the whole
exhibition in Ohio consistent? 1t says
that the Republicans of that state
stand for no principles, but for McKin-
ley. 1t dominates him on a platform
which repeats the shutting evasion of
1892. that has been rejected with scorn
by honest men on both sides Of the
silver question. This is an suspicious
opening of the campaign 1t is true
keynote. 1t exposes the emptiness of
the Republican cause, the hollowness
and sham of their pretensions, and
the fact that they propose and intend
to win this year solely by the use of
money contributed by the men who
will be made rich by Mckinley legis-
lation In case Of his success. We are
willing to have this keynote sounded

KANSAS COWARDS.

The Republican convention in Kan
sas is a fit companion piece to that Of
Ohio. 1t declared itself in favor of the
same presidential candidate, but it
went one step further even In the d.
rection Of pusillanimity than the
speech of Foraker. Notwithstanding the
vociferous assertion Of Republicans
that their party is absolutely united
on the financial question, and their
reading out of Carter and the other
senators who espoused the cause Of
silver, it was found impossible to reach
any agreement in Kansas, or to make
any declaration of policy whatever on
the financial question without precipi-
tating split and bolt The one
speech made on this subject was an
earnest and determined plea by one Of
the delegates for the free coinage of
silver. Hating between two opinions.

money vote in the state, and their fear
of offending the sound money vote, the

at Minneapolis. They referred the en-

this country have any less contemDt

the Kansas Republicans has ever ex-
perienced any other end than over
whelming defeat. It Is but a little
while since Kansas was in the hands Of
the Populists. The revulsion from
Populism was powerful and offered an
opportunity for party of strong prin-
ciples and determination to stand by
them to rule the future of the state
for years to come. To that opportunity
the Republican party is unequal. A
would rather vote with the Peoples
party in Kansas today than with that
organization that has shamed itself
and it's associates everywhere by acting
the towards part.
Thus, at the outset Of this campaign,
in two of its great banner states, the
Republican party has placed itself on
record as not daring to. announce any
positive opinion on the financial ques-
ton. 1t is a bad beginning. AS ardently
DESTROYS of the success Of Democratic
principles and candidates, we welcome
this vacillation and disgraceful fear
1t Is a mark of party decadence and
will win popular disgust. AS citizens
DESTROYS of the success of right Ideas
and firm and well-digested policies, we
regret to see even the enemy sunk so
low that it dare not express, or even
entertain. a conviction of it's own. The
friends Of Mr.. Mckinley can congratu-
late themselves upon having captured
a great many delegates. They will
find, if they continue to evade the most
pressing questions of the hour, that
those delegates do not represent enough
votes to elect the next president Of
this country.

Stated That Neither Germany Nor

LONDON, March 1.-THE Chronicle
this morning has second long article
following up its critical examination of
the contents of the Venezuelan blue
book. The Chronicle contends that the
very documents which are quot
ed to support the Brit
ish case. disprove the British
claim based on the Dutch possessions
and occupation in the Eighteenth CEN
century. 1t fears that the entire case
is vitiated by the assumption that row.
Ing descents by the Dutch on the coast
and inland rivers for slave trade pur-
poses, constitute an effective occupa-
ton. The Chronicle promises further
disclosures tomorrow with relation to
the blue book, so serious as to need
Lord Salisbury's personal attention. It
will refer specially to the garbled and
inaccurate versions Of the centurion's
reports, and statements on pages II
and 10 Of the blue book.

Whether the tax on imports Of tin
plate be 22 cents a pound or La cents,
all the grist goes to the mills Of the
platemakers. When the German act
went into effect the reduction in price
was precisely equivalent to that of the
tax, and now they absorb for their own
benefit the IL cents a pound. That is
what the tax was intended for, and the
plate men are not at all to be blamed
for taking what the people, whom
Carnegie once termed economic FOOLS"
permit them to take. A Liverpool cir
cular says that the price of 14x20 I. c.
plates Is 50 for ordinary brands, run
ming 1OS pounds to the box, which &C.
cords with the import price given in the

Adding to that the tax Of IL cents
a pound brings the import price up to
the quotation made in the circular Of
1888, duty paid. The price Of domestic
plate on Jan. 81 is given in the treas
ury report at 1888. Not satisfied with

Of God in the constitution of the Unit

novel in it's character. majority of the
spectators being women. An American
flag was brought into the room by the
opponents of the bill, in which was tied
a great bundle of protests and remon-

Each faction was given an hour to pre-
sent its side of the case. Considerable
feeling was manifested by the parti-
sans on both sides, and Kisses and
cheers frequently interrupted the
speakers.
