The defense contends that the npplioa-
tion and policy formed the contract of
the insurance and that under the state
ments contained in the application and
the terms of the policy based upon the
same, it is only liable for such damages
as might be sustained by the employees Of
the company while engaged in the COM
psny'a umbering operations, and that 1t
did not include the hazard of public pas
senger transportation. The plaintiff on
the other hand contends that the appli-
cation itself formed no part of the contract
of insurance stated IN the policy, as even
lit were part of the policy Mcdonald
and Fairbrother were at Hastings upon
matters touching the bust ness of the
company, and that the application CON
templated and that the policy covered
such risks.
The hearing occupied she entire day

notified Of kthe accident and were. IN
formed that claim for damages might
arire in which case the lum Der company
would claim protection under it's policy
Of insurance, but the insurance company
denied its liability under the terms of
the policy. Suits were brought in the
supreme court by Fairbrother and Mo-
Donald against the lumber company for
damages for personal injuries and both
cases were referred. The referees heard
the cases and rendered decisions award
ing $500 damages to Mcdonald and
$1,000 damages to Fairbrother, which
awards the lumber company paid.
In the spring of 1895 the lumber com-
pany brought this action against the in
suranoe company to recover the full sum
of $4,000 paid to Mcdonald and $500 Of
the sum paid to kairbrother, not claim
ing to hold the insurance company in
the case of She latter for the excess over
$4,000 stated in the policy. The case was
removed to the United States circuit

morning in shifting cars and the train
men had used in that business heavy
chain some 90 feet in length. Upon re-

cessfui butter making the feed given to
COWS must be considered. Then when
the COWS are MIXED certain things ought
10 be done for the purpose of getting the
best results. The milk should be care
fully strained and then relieved Of the
animal heat attached TO it by carefully
reducing its temperature 10 SO or 5S, at
which points the best results are had
with milk. This temperature, if posi-
bic, should be preserved until the cream
is separated from the milk. Mr. Spencer
says that western Kansas is an excep-
tionally good field for dairying and has
now some fine creameries. Mr. Spencer
says that at points along the road where
Swimming stations cannot be main tanned

ready and willing to make rates on milk
to creamery, and then making a nomi-
nal rate in returning the SKINNED milk

The Way to Build Up the Town by Patro
MIXING Home Men.

An article a few days ago in the matter
of the building Of -four mill in Wichita
by outside parties said in substance that
home merchants would ioyally support a
mill If it made good -four. II was not in
tended to infer that the mills now in op-
Grafton here were not making good -four,
from the fact that flour was being ship
ped in for consumption here. Mr.. Conn,
who was quoted. did not say that
The fact is well known to our peop,e
that flour manufactured here is equal TO
any on the market, and other facts and
conditions have brought about the sale
Of flour here manufactured elsewhere,
and quality has had nothing 10 do with IL.
1t is not a question of quality at all,
for when a grocer determines to push
any particular article that article finds its
way into the households of nearly all Of
h.s customers.
The trade recognizes that and seeks 10
gaiE the good viii Of the dealer, as well
as to push for business in other ways,
we'll knowing that the dealer largely con-
trolled the brands Of goods sold.
What is true of the -four trade in Wich-
ia is true in many other branches Of
business. The people seem to have, in a
measure, forgotten, for the time being, at
least. that patronizing home industries
always builds up a town.
Nothing con bring more industries as
surely as 10 patronize those we have. If
those we have prosper they increase
their output: others see their prosperity
ard build more. The ci5y's prosperity
depends on the prosperity Of its citizens.
Each and every one should be an active
factor in building up our industries by
buying everything at home that can be
bought here as good in quality ard price

Never until the advent of Pearlo-den- to was there a dentifrice made from a scientific formula comprising medicinal as well as cleansing properties. There is no other such preparation in the market to-day. When Pearlo-dento was first introduced to the public many druggists said people were so used to buying cheap stuff that they would not appreciate an article which could not be sold at less than 50 cents. If we had believed this, Pearlo-dento would never have achieved it's present popu- larity.
 Knowing, however, from the experi- ence of dentists, how many there are who really care seriously about their teeth, we kept hammering away at the worthless and harmful stuff in the mar ket with our present success.
 It is gratifying to know that a meri- torious article can be successful.

UNITED WORKERS' SALE
Held at Organized Charities Yesterday
 Well Attended,,


 The annual sale of the United Work CTS was held yesterday at the Organ ized Charities, 200 Orange street, the rooms there having been turned for the occasion into bowers of beauty with flowers, fancy work and other articles for sale arranged tastefully. Although the number of visitors was large and nearly all who attended bought some- thing, it was thought last night that the total receipts from the sales was trif1e less than the amount received last year. The sale began at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and during the greater part of the day thereafter the rooms were thronged with patrons of the sale, most of whom contributed in some way to the success of the occa- sion.
 The chryanthemums on sale made one of the prettiest displays. Nearby was the cut flower table in charge of Miss Rebecca Morse. The flower show was arranged by Mrs Bernadotte Perrin, Mrs. William Rodman and Mrs. Frank lin B. Dexter. The doll table was un- der the supervision of Mrs B. c. Lake, assisted by Miss R. D. Beach, Mrs. Charles Rowland, and Miss Margaret Webb. Mrs. l.. W. Ward, assisted by Miss Daggett, sold cake. At the tea and lunch table Mrs. William Daggett presided, assisted by Miss Bessie Gib- bons, Miss Mansfield, Miss Fitch and Mrs. O. A. Dorman.
 Refreshments were served in the af- ternoon.
