TWO YEARS OF SUCCESS.
Acme Creamery Divides q Surplus to
Its Patrons.


The Acme creamery has this month
paid 2S cents for butterfat, the high.
est price paid in the county probably.
The average test was 4.S5. The
creamery has about 30 patrons who
milk 400 cows. 1t has in its articles
Of incorporation q clause providing
that only ten per cent shall be paid in
dividends to stockholders, all surplus
above ten per cent being divided
among patrons and added to the price
paid for butterfat. This excellent
provision makes the creamery very
popular and it has had surplus Of
about one cent pound for butteriat
to divide nearly every month. Its
high quality Of butter brings top
prices and the company is satisfied
with its present success, not desiring
to weaken its home plant by branch
ing out. E. $. Engle, the manager,
has reason to be proud Of its prosper
ity during the two years since its or
ganization.

FUN WITH A BRIDGE.
Chapm an Fad Lively Time but It
Is Over.


CHAPMAN, Dec. 22.-The repairs
long needed on the Smoky Hill bridge
just south Of the city we're begun
without notice Monday by the Can.
ton, Ohio bridge company. Owing
to their extensive nature it was nee.
essary to tear up the floor. Many
people were on the wrong side Of the
bridge and had sixteen mile drive
via Enterprise to get home. H. Pot.
tie had driven TO Abilene on the south
side Of the river but returned on the
north side to get bis mail here and re-
NAMED over night. The Chapman
merchants, too, found their holiday
trade from the south stopped and
there was talk Of injunctions, suits
for damages, etc. Yesterday County
Attorney Kane and Commissioner
Baker were here and arranged to have
work stopped and the bridge made
passable twice day, thus allowing
its use. This is satisfactory. The
repairs will require about twelve days.

DAVIS DUNGEON.
The Cell In Fortress Monroe Where the
Confederate President Was Imprisoned.

Tho Cell In Fortress Monroe where ths
Confederate President Was Imprisoned.
The easement In old Fort Monroe in
which Jefferson Davis, president OF tho
late confederacy, was for short time
confined is now used as storage room
for msit lumber, iron scraps, etc. A
sentinel stands on guard at this en-
trance Of the fort, and in answer to the
visitors query points to this dungeon
with a solitary bull's-eye window look
ing out over the morass of bracklsh' Ill
smelling water which surrounds the
high-walled fort. The guard comes TO
a "present arms" while talking with
visitor. His duties seem to be merely
to put in time to earn his ratlons, for
NO one is denied admission and anyone
may walk through the grounds and
upon the ramparts examining the
loaded cannon at will with no one to say
"Halt."
After being removed from the hole
ip-the-wall casemate, Davis was placed
in a small frame building, known as
officers quarters. 1t Is now occupied
by some artillery officers and is beauti'
fully shaded by willows, much pref
tier and more habitable place than IT
was In those days. Here the prisoner
Of state" remained nearly two years.
Beyond this the present garrison, all
new men, know absolutely nothing, and
some OF them have no idea Of the extent
Of the war, excepting the fight between
the Monitor and the Merrimac. They
had not heard Of the burning OF Hamp-
ton--the old borough few miles dis
tant.
One Of the buildings saved in that
burning was St. Johns church, the
Oldest church in America in which
services are now held, and third In age
Of any built in this country. The
grounds are covered with broken tomb.

In his composition there was not a
particle of time or tune, and the step
always bothered him.
One day at drill Smith was persistent
~ getting out Of step and out Of place,
until the drillmaster demanded i'm

answered.;

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
AN EVENING WITH LINCOLN

1t Was when the Confederate Cavalry
Had Cut All Lines to the Army.
The raid made by the confederate
general, j. Il. B, Stuart, in June, 1862,
around the union army commanded by
Gen. Mcclellan, caused great anxiety in
Washington. One Of it's results was the
interruption Of communications be-
tween the capital and the army Of the
Potomac. What this portended no one
could affirm. That it suggested the
gravest possibilities was felt by all.
While this feeling was dominating all
circles several gentlemen, myself
among them, called on President Lin
coin in order to be definitely advised
about the condition Of affairs as under
stood by him.
To our question: "Mr. President,
have you any news from the army?' he
sadly replied; mot one word. We
can get no communication with 1t. !
do not know that we have an army; il
may have been destroyed or captured,
though cannot so believe, for ii was .
splendid army. But the most can do
now is to hope that serious disaster has
not befallen it,
This led to somewhat protracted
conversation relative to the general
condition OF our affairs. II was use
less to talk about the army Of the Po-
tomac, for we knew nothing concern
ing its condition or position at that
moment. The conversation, therefore,
took u wide range, and touched upon
the subject of slavery, about which
much was said.
The president did not participate in
this conversation. lie was an atten-
tive listener, but gave no sign of APP
proval Or disapproval Of the views which
were expressed. At length one of the
active participants remarked:
Slavery must be stricken down
wherever It exists in this country. II
Is right that it should be. II Is crime
against justice and humanity. We
have tolerated it too long. II brought
this war upon US. ! believe that POvi'
dence is not unmindful of the struggle
in which this nation is engaged. II we
do not do right | believe God will let
us go on our own way TO ruin. But, II
we do right, believe lie will lead us
safely out Of this wilderness, crown our
arms with victory and restore our now
discovered union"
