Emanating from some other sources
the figures given by Mr. Alvord might
reasonably be subject to doubt, but
Mr., Alvord Is not one who would know
ingly send forth false information nor
base an official statement ON mere
guesswork, and being in a position to
know whereof he speaks, his figures
may be relied upon as correctly repre-
sent,ng the situation. But it will be
a genuine surprise to nearly all who
have given the matter a thought to
learn that 50 per cent. of all butter
produced in this country was, as late
as 1890, made on the farm. Here is
what he has to say on the subject:
THE most noteworthy fact In CON
nection with the production of butter
on farms Is that, Notwithstanding the
great extension of the creamery sys-
tom and the. decline in the amount
of butter annually exported. such pro-
duction has increased even more rap
Idly than population. To go back to
the census of 1850, it Is found that the
sotal production of butter on farms in
$40 was 313,345,S06 pounds, or 1881
pounds per capita of population. In
1860 the amount reported was 49,
6S1 1872 pounds, or 1462 pounds per
capita. In 1870 the amount reported
was 514,092,6S pounds, which gave
an average OF only 1888 pounds for
each inhabitant Up to this time there
had been no creamery butter reported.
but In 1880 the production of farm but
ter averaged 1880 pounds for each in
habitant, and that of creamery butter
OBS pounds for each inhabltant, the
total average being thus 1905 pounds.
At the eleventh census, however, the
production of butter on farms alone
averaged 1888 pounds per capita Of
the population. and such had been the
increase that the total production of
butter averaged no less than 1924
pounds per unit of the population"
AS no creamery butter was reported
until 1880, when only little more than
one-third of ] per cent G036, to be ex-
act was thus produced, 1t follows that
of the 10 per cent. shown by the elev-
enth census, nearly all was gained dur
ing ten years. There Is no doubt that
the ratio of gain has been much great
er Of late.-New York Times.

DAN FORD'S LUCK.
A Convict Who Need Not Serve His
Second Sentence.

Judge Johnson yesterday ordered the
discharge Of one Dan Ford on habeas

On one charge he was convicted and
lew weeks later he pleaded guilty to
another charge. On the first he was
sentenced to three and a half years,
on the second to two years, the latter
term to begin at the expiration Of the
former.
The courts have held that in such
cases, where person receives a sec
ond sentence in that manner they are
concurrent

1" You Don't Become
a Slave to their Use! ="

The above words have been
truthfully spoken concerning DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets by one
who has had abundant opportunity
to observe their more favorable ac-
ton as compared with that of other
pills.
Most pills and medicines in use
for constipation, in the long run,
make bad matter worse" I'm
like such agents, DR.. Pierce's Pei
lets exert such tonic or strength
ening effect upon the membranes
of the stomach and bowels, as to
produce lasting benefit. Their use
can, therefore, be gradually discon-
tinued. With most pills the longer
they are taken, the more dependent
upon their use the patient becomes.
Not so with the Pellets" Tier
secondary effect is to keep the bow
els open and regular, not to further
constipate. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from hab-
1tual constipation.
The Pellets cure costiveness, or
constipation, biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, sour
stomach, loss of appetite, coated
tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, " heartburn, "
pain and distress after eating, and
kindred arrangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels. One little
Pellet +" is a laxative, two are
mildly cathartic.
They are tiny, sugar-coated gran
ules; any child will readily take
them. Sold by all dealers.

ALL A MISTAKE.
The Salvation Army Did Give Aid to
the Second Street Family.

There has evidently been some mis-
extending relief to the sick and desti-
tute family living in the rear of 9lS
Second street On Wednesday the
Record Union called attention to
their condition, as it had been reported,
believing that some of the charitable
organizations would inquire into the
matter and extend whatever relief
might be necessary.
1t was learned that on that day the
Salvation Army people helped the fam
lily, and they We're given credit there
for in Thursdays issue. In the mean
time the Catholic Ladies' Relief Society
extended help to the family in the way
OF provisions, ETC., and a member or
the society who visited them was told
by some one of the family-or so un-
derstood it-that they We're the first and
only ones that had assisted them.
Supposing that it was some other
family the Salvation Army folks had
helped on Wednesday the statement
just referred to was published yester-
day as matter of justice to the good
women of the relief society. But as
matter of fact, the statement did an
injustice to the Salvation Army. One
of the officers of that organization did
visit the distressed family on Wednes-
day morning, and finding that they
most lacked fuel, at once had cord of
wood sent to the house
I'VE do not, for ourselves, care about
thing of this kind" said one of the
officers yesterday, only we dislike to
have the public think we preach charity
but do not practice it. We investigated
the Second-street case as soon as we
read of it in the Record Union and a
once sent the family a cord of wood,
as fuel was what they most needed.
The Catholic Ladies' Relief Society
did also aid them to the extent of sew
eral dollars worth of provisions. We
with any or all bodies that are ready
and willing to help the poor and needy,
and we like them all to have credit for
what they do. But We are raising
money for just such cases, and desire
the public to understand that it is being
used for that purpose.
Il suppose there was some misunder-
standing in regard to the Second street
case, for l cannot conceive why any of
the family should Intentionally place
to do all the good we can, either alone
or in conjunction with others engaged
in the same cause"

Two Minds Diseased.

Superior Judge Johnson and a COM
mittee of doctors yesterday examined
A. B. Leach and j. j. Kold for insanity.
with the result that they were both
committed to an asylum for treatment
The former has an idea that several
women are infatuated with him and
are camping on his trail, and the latter
imagines that enemies are trying to
poison him. There are lots of men
about town who are suffering from the
same sort of insanity as that which
affects Leach, but possibly it is as yet
of milder sort

Novelty in the Squash Line.

There are now on exhibition in the
windows of the Chamber of Commerce
on } street. between Second and Third,
three peculiar squashes that are at
tracing considerable attention and
comment. They are crownshaped,
and appear to have been artificially
formed by having rope bound around
them while growing. They were grown
by II. Hundertmark, who resides at
Twenty-ninth and E streets. He says
the growth was natural, but does not
know the name of the variety.
