THE DAIRY,
SUMMER DAIRYING.

To make the summer dairy success
full may look very simple to one on the
outside OF the business. Unfortunately
the outside view is shared by mary on
the inside, and they ere conducting
summer dairying solely on the manual
labor idea. Now it is a fact that sum.
mer dairying requires just as much
practical knowledge, skill and care as
winter dairying, and the man who
ignores these points never has made
COWS pay, and never will.
The dairyman who draws q monthly
check from his factory, a portion of
which is profit, is not enabled to do 90
simply because he owns COWS, but be-
cause he knows how to handle them.
For instance, turning cows cut to pas
ture may be the worst thing you can
do for them You must be sure that
there is plenty of grass for them to eat,
or they will be worse eff than if tied to
straw stack. The four dation of sue
cessful dairyiDg is to keep the COWS
constantly furnished with all they can
digest of milk forming food. Under
thia rule good COWS are mint of money,
and poor ones will show surprising re-
suits. Ether bring the amount of pas
turage up to the number of your COWS,
or else reduce the number of your COWS
to the amount of your pasturage, AE-
ticipate the need of feed several months
| ahead, and plant plenty of fodder corn
now. Better plant too much than too
little, as the surplus will come in play
next winter as silage or cured fodder.
never saw a dairyman yet who put
in more fodder corn than he could
make use of. He generally has too
little.
Another important p int is to take
care of the milk after you get it. A
dairyman must possess an earnest de-
sire to preserve the milk quality, or I
wJuEd not give much for his success in
that direction. A half hearted policy,
or indifference, will almost surely re.
suit in spoiled milk. Nearly every
dairyman now understands the routine
work that it is necessary to follow in
preserving milk quality on the farm.
The trouble is that only a proportion
of them as yet put it thoroughly into
practice. ThoroughnessI How much
that means in dairy management. If
there are 25 thorough dairyment in a
township, that is equivalent to 25 sue
cessful ones. No man can expect to
always have good milk unless he goes
through a routine practice of aerating
and cooling it every night during the
summer Even if he has plenty Of cold
running water, he must not depend en-
tirely on it to the neglect of aeration.
By submerging hot milk in cold water,
I have known it to develop the most
dangerous tRint. Thus a blessing ia
easily turned into curse.
Don't despise regularity in the dairy
unless you despise money. Be regular
in turning the COWS to pasture, in
milking them, and in drawing the milk
to the factory. 1t takes no longer than
to be irregular, besides insuring profit.
Never attempt to hold butter in the
summer unless you have a suitable
place to store it. That means a re-
frigeratOr. If all farm made butter
went into cold storage as soon as pro
duced, there would be less sale for oleo.

BISHOP OF SOUTH DAKOTA
Right Rev. Thomas O'Gorman
Is Installed by Arch.
bishop Ireland.
Twenty Priests Assisted in the Cere.
Misunderstanding Capacity of the
Church 0vertaxed.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., May 3.-Right
Rev. Thomas O'Gorman, formerly of the
Catholic University of the United States,
was to-day installed as Bishop of South
Dakota, to succeed Bishop Martin Marty,
transferred to ST. Cloud, Mimi.
The impressive ceremonies were con-
Quoted by Archbishop Ireland. Admls-
sion to the church was by tickets, made
necessary by. the limited seating capacity.
The Archbishop was assisted by Bishop j..
B. Cotter of Winona, Bishop John Shan
ley of Fargo and about twenty priests.
Archbishop Ireland in the course of an
eloquent discourse said that twenty years
ago when Bishop Marty was installed
over the diocese of Dakota there were but
three priests in the diocese. that Territory
having since been divided into two -four
ishing dioceses and the expansion had
Just began.
Bishop O'Gorman spoke feelingly of the
relations he had Just severed and of the
responsibility he was assuming.
Last night the distinguished guests were
rendered an informal reception at the Cata-
ract House which was attended by 500 citi-
zens, over half of whom were Protestants.
Rev. L. B. Scott of the First Congrega-
tional Church was the first one to enter
the reception-room.
Tomorrow evening the citizens will
tender the Archbishop and Bishop o Cor
man banquet, at which covers will be
laid for 200. Among those who will re /.
spond to toasts are: Arch bishop Ireland,
Bishop O'Gorman and Bishop w. H Hare
of the Episcopal diocese of South Dakota.

Mr.. Clarkson continued as follows:
'There is pretense of contest in Arizona,
but a majority of the legally called con-
vention elected three Allison and three
Quay delegates. Twenty-four hours after
it had adjourned sine die a Mckinley
convention was called, without authority,
and six so-called Mckinley delegates
elected. There are more contests in
Texas than the above table indicates, but
they are mainly between Reed and Allison.
By the rules of party all these contests
will first be heard by the National Com
nittee, which makes up a temporary roll
of the National Convention. Each State
in temporary convention elects member
of the committee on credentials, and con-
testants are heard again before this COM
mittee. The convention itself Will also
hear the contests through the report of
the committee on credentials, so there will
be three careful examinations of ell these
contests, insuring the fairest decision"
"What about reports as to the National
Committee and how it stands, and how
are these contests going to be decidedP"
"The National Committee Is made up of
good and trained Republicans, the most of
them long in service, and all of them care
full of the party's interest and honor and
all representative men in their respective
States. While majority of the National
Committee doubtless prefers some other
candidates from personal choice and party
interest, it is safe to say that they will give
as fair hearing to every contest as will
the committee on credentials or the con-
vention itself. Four-fifths of the contests
are represented by Mckinley people, who
bolted from regular State or district con-
ventions of the party. The convention at
st. Louis, which is going to be very seri-
Gus affair, will result in showing that the
sober judgment OF the majority of dele
gates in that body will, from party inter-
ests, be in favor of some other candidate
than Mckinley

The Texas Desperate Shot While Trying

HANGED to Tree.

BEAUMONT, TEX, May s. Judge
Lynch has cut short the career of Will
Bendy. Yesterday evening the last report
came in that strong posse had Bendy
surrounded in the thicket about half 8
mile from Buna and that he was almost
sure to be captured.
This morning early message was re-
eeived that Bendy had left the thicket
and had sought refuge in the home of his
brother-in-law and there the determined
party found him. He was not quick
enough in yielding. when q shot rang out.
This was at o'clock in the morning
The shot wounded him and he began run
ming. When about fifty yards away he
gave in and was led by the crowd to
the old Orange and Jasper dirt road.
Here suitable tree was found and the
rope quickly adjusted that swung him up.
His body was riddled with bullets and
left hanging. Constable Bibbo, e. B.
Rome and Roxy Wall-the last two col
ored-are still alive, though suffering Sc
verely from their wounds. Phillip Haines
was inferred to-day.

ford's pet schemes to improve San Pedro,
and that Mrs. Stanford, who zealously
supported her husband in all things dur
ing his lifetime, is yet hoping that San
Pedro will be selected. 1t Is matter of
sentiment with her now, for she remem-
bers how earnestly Governor Stanford de-
sired the San Pedro i'm provements.
Mr.. Kerens says that Huntington not
only harbors animosity toward Mrs. Stan
ford for joining with the Crockers to op-
pose him for president of the Southern
Pacific, but his recollection of Mrs. STAN
ford's social ostracism of Mrs. HUNTINGTON
several years ago stirs his revengeful and
vindictive disposition and urges him to
defeat Mrs. Stanford's ambition at all
hazards.
Huntington does not care so much for
money as to vent his Spleen" declared
Mr.. Kerens.
1t is understood that an investigation is
being held by the Public Printer to ascer-
tain why the words "San Pedro" were
eliminated and "Santa Monica substituted
in lieu thereof in petition signed by 200
representative California citizens, who
wired to Washington in favor of the
former place. The printed report of the
Commerce Committee proceedings con.
tains this petition, but, instead of "San
Pedro" the print makes it appear that
they favor "Santa Monica

A GALLANT OFFICER DEAD,
Commander Felix McCurley, Cap
tain of the League Island
Navy.Yard.
Passes Away Full of Years and Hon.
ors-Was Under Fire More Than
Forty Times.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 3.-Com-
mander Felix McCurley, q. s. N, Captain
of the League Island Navy-yard, died at
that station this morning of heart failure
Commander McCurley was born in Balti-
more in 1915 and early in life entered the
merchant marine service. When the war
broke out he entered the United States
navy as acting master. He served
throughout the war with great gallantry
and was under fire more than forty times.
In action he was conspicuous for cool
ness and intrepidity and the encourage
ment he gave his men. At the conclusion
of the war he was attached to various
squadrons in different parts OF the world.
Twice while on the Asiatic station in COM
mand of the q. S. s. Alliance he rescued
shipwrecked crews at sea, and on both
occasions received the thanks OF the
Chinese Government.
He was appointed Captain of the League
Island Navy-yard in April, 1898. To date
of his death Commander McCurley was a
splendid type of the volunteer officer, OF
which the War of the Rebellion produced
so many examples, and was one Of the
most widely known officers in the service.

MAUNA L0A IN ERUPTION.
Lava Jetted to Great Height From the
Crater of the Hawaiian
H0Ic0no

HONOLULU, Hawaii, April 23.-Mau-
ma Loa volcano broke out in eruption about
L A. NJ. of the 21st, as observed from the
steamer Kinace, coming down from Hilo.
A telerhone message from Hilo to Ka-
waihae gave an estimate OF 1000 feet as the
height of column of lava jetted from the
summit, as seen from Hilo, forty miles
distant. AS seen by daylight from Ka-
waihae, the emission of smoke was i'm
mense.
The following night the illumination of
the clouds was brilliant as seen from La
haina, ITO miles as the bird flies. None
but the greatest eruptions have hereto
fore been conspicuous at Lahaina. Last
night the glow over Mauna Loa was seen
from the lookout at Diamond Head, $50
miles distant.
These facts indicate an eruption of un-
usual magnitude. 1t is probable that a
great lava stream is flowing down the
mountain, which is 1900 feet high.
Nothing can be known here of its direc-
ton for some days, whether inland or
toward some part of the shore, or whether
it threatens destruction to any plantation
or village.

instructed for Mckinley when, in truth,
q resolution of instructions was simply for
delegates to vote for Mckinley as long as
majority of the delegates should deem it
wise-and it is very doubtful if majority
OF delegates in that State are for McKin-
ley.
He claims many votes i'll Louisiana,
where Mckinley only has two and per-
haps only one. He claims Alabama prac-
tically solid, while every seat is contested
in Alabama. He claims all but five of
Georgia, while there are conceded nine un-
contested anti Mckinley delegates in that
State and eight delegates contested. He
claims Florida, which has made double
delegation, the Mckinley delegation
elected by minority of votes of the State
Convention, or an illegal body. He claims
the votes in Mississippi, while nine and
perhaps twelve of the legal delegates in
that State are sgainst Mckinley. The re-
suit in Illinois has been exaggerated to
McKinley's benetit and Grosvenor claims
it as practically solid, whereas it will take
the first ballot at st. Louis to show
whether it will be a majority for Mckinley
or majority against him. Many more
mistakes could be pointed out, but these
are samples of the rest"

F." NOT OUT OF THE WOODS"

What E1-Senator Platt Says of the
Mckinley Campaign.
NEW YORK, May 8. - Ex-senator
Thomas G. Platt made the following state
ment tonight:
1.-THE Mckinley followers are hurrahing
before they are out of the woods. If they
are to be believed, the man from Ohio has
already secured delegates enough to nomi-
nate him at st. Louis, and the rest
of the proceedings are of no interest to
them.
ga glance at the actual state of affairs
shows that the contest for the Republican
nomination is still an open one, with the
chances in favor of one of Mr.. McKinley's
opponents. Perhaps one of the fairest
and most reasonable of the Mckinley
organs is the Philadelphia Press. 1t
prints a table every day giving its esti-
mate of the strength OF the different can
didates at the time. It's table of the Sd
instant shows that 1853 delegates had been
chosen up to the evening of Saturday,
leaving 1913 to be elected. 1t assigns 401 of
the delegates chosen to Mckinley, 81 to
Reed. SO to Morton, u to Cullom, AZ to
Allison, Sc to Quay, 16 to Bradley, and
places rs in the doubtful list
''It is certain that not one of those among
the doubtful will vote for Mckinley. His
managers have made an aggressive fight
in every State and in every district, and
where their men have been beaten it is
safe to say that the successful candidate is
not a Mckinley delegate.
GAS for the 4o1 votes claimed by the
latest Napoleon the seats of sixty-nine
delegates assigned to him from Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
South Carolina and Texas are contested,
and no properly constituted body would
think for moment of allowing their fiimsy
claims. The loss of these sixty-nine votes
reduces McKinley's strength at one blow
to 332 votes, or 129 less than the mum Der
required to nominate him. And there re-
main among these 332 not fewer than
eighteen from Indiana, four from Ten
nessee, four wrongfully claimed from
Maryland and two wrongfully claimed
from Kentucky-twenty-e -eighJ in all
which will not be cast for the Canton cam
didate. 1t is the most remarkable case of
counting chickens before they are hatched
that has ever yet been known"

MILWAUKEE,, WIS.,, May s. The
strike of 900 motormen, conductors and
barn hands of the Milwaukee Street Rail-

men will not return to work after the last
car has been housed tonight. President
Mahon of the Amalgsmate6 Association
of Street Railway Employees tonight or

The controversy turns on two of eleven
demands made by the men, viz: A raise

motormen and conductors and the recog-
milton by the company of the union and
settlement of all disputed questions by a
board of arbitration.
The electricians of the company, num-
bering about fifty men, are not yet in
cluded in the strike, but have declared
that they will not work together with non
union motormen and conductors, which
means that they will also join the strikers
as soon as the company employs them.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 3.-Mr.
Manley of Maine tonight gave out the
following statement:
"Since my statement OF week ago there
have been elected forty-six delegates. The
elections have occurred in Michigan, Illi-
nois, Missouri, Arizona, Indian Territory,
Vermont, Alabama and Georgia. They
can be assigned as follows: In Alabama
and Arizona two sets of delegates have
been elected and they are therefore placed,
as they ought to be, in the contested col
umn; Indian Territory, Michigan. Mis-
sourl and illinois are placed in the column
for Governor Mckinley.
The convention in Vermont was a sur.
prise to the friends of Mr.. Reed. They
had right to expect that Vermont would
join with the rest of New England and
send delegation pledged to the support
of the New England candidate. The dele
gates selected unquestionably prefer the
nomination of Mr.. Reed. How far tbev
will feel bound by the declaration of pref
erence for Governor Mckinley by their
convention time alone will determine. 1t
must be remembered that the convention
did not instruct the delegates and left
them free to exercise their own Judgment.
Preferences and even instructions in the
past have not uniformly governed the del.
egates, because the conditions under
which they were passed did not exist at
the time the delegates were called upon to
discharge the duties intrusted to them.
The situation to-day is as follows:

How much confusion comes to the ordinary
mind from reading statistics and cumulative
figures upon the silver question. The more we
labor with dates and numbers the more un-
settled in opinion the most of us become
Simple facts are what the student of this ques-
tion wants. Was gold and silver authorized
to be coined as money by the constitu ton, and
if SO why should Congress stop the one and
continue the other? This is what the ordi-
nary voter would like TO know. Were formid-
able petitions sent up to Congress from COM
mercial bodies and frem manufacturing and
agricultural associations demanding change
in the coinage act in 1873, or any other
time z Was there an Otis or John Quincy
Adams as in former years with petitions from
the people asking for the correction of abuses
and demanding their constitutional rights
Did we hear OF anything like this in 1873
