W. !. Moody, Iowa's greatest creamery
operator, estimates that Il costs an average
Of 10 cts. per 100 lbs. 70 haul milk to q cream
cry and haul the skim milk away again.
He is going to save all this by placing with
his patrons Dairy Separators, and have
wagons call for the cream.
In this way the farmer viii get the full adj
vantage Of the Separator and creamery sys-
tens, viii have the warm fresh skim milk
at home FOR stock feed and viii not be at eX-
pelse Of carting his milk to a creamery.
Before ordering these 800 SeparatoTs, val
ued az over $4,000, the merits Of all the
different Dairy Separators on the market
we're very thoroughly considered and prae-
teal tests were made by Mr, Moody.
It was finally decided that the Sharples
separatoTs, made at West Chester, Pa,
were the most desirable and best made ma
chimes, and though costing a little more
money, it was thought they were well worth
the difference asked, and the order was
given to that company.

CHICAGO SCHOOL CHILDREN
Can at Last Have Water-Problem
Solved After Nine Months
Wrangling.

CHICAGO June 17-After nine months
of wrangling the board of education
last night definitely and finally settled
the water problem in the public schools
for a period Of three years. It author
lied the award of contracts to two filter
companies for all the schools in the
~ save twenty. for SIS, 900, the filter
ing plants in the schools now in exist
ence and to be erected. to be installed
and maintained at the expense of the
companies for the duration of the con-
tract.
When ex-Health Commissioner Sam
uel Kerr ordered the board to either
provide pure water supply for the
200O coo children in its care, OF shut or
the city water supply, nine months ago,
the water question was taken up. 1t
has been agitated ever since, and for
two or three months the city water
supply was cut off, entailing great suf-
feTing among the children Three weeks
ago the supply was turned on again
with the authority of the health de-
partment, and il was agreed to wait
until after the summer vacation before
taking any further steps toward the
solution of the water problem This
was because the sentiment of nernb ers
of the board was so thoroughly divided
between different makes OF filters, the
boiling process, spring water schemes
and many others, that a settlement
seemed impossible. Last night the
buildings and grounds commission took
dtlOA i10A turn d t1IE water question ana
when its labors we're brought to an end
a settlement had been effected 1t was
found by the commission that two filter
firms had put in bids of almost equal
price and had an equal number of sup
porters on the commission
A compromise was then arranged,
the companies to divide the work even
ly at the rate of SIS 900 for all the
schools for three years. the price he
ing that of the lowest bidder The
twenty schools ordered equipped with
boiling and cooling apparatus are to
be equipped as ordered, but the filters

MAY BE NO "PRATIES."
There is a Disease in the Potato
Fieidz

Fields
A disease has attacked the potato
fields in tke neighborhood of Topeka
which threatens to destroy the entire
crop.
Farmers call the disease potato
blight" The stalk begins to turn black
near the ground and then the blight
spreads to the leaves, which gradually
turn black and the plant dies.
County Commissioner Scott Kelsey
has 40 acres Of potatoes and he says
that the indications now are that he
viii lose the entire crop The same
conditions are found in other places in
the county. Commissioner Kelsey has
sent specimens of the diseased plants
to Chancellor Snow Of the state uni
versity and Prof POpence of the agri-
cultural college in the hope that some
method for fighting the blight may be
discovered
porter Commissioner Kelsey said: 7
am at a loss to understand this disease.
In my field the disease attacks the
plant near the root. Then the leaves
turn black and the potatoes on the
vines wither in the ground I have
examined many Of the diseased plants
and in all cases they were rOtted al
most off at the ground
I'VE have some potatoes in the river
bottoms near RossvfIle, and I have
heard reports that they are affected
the same way. Unless something is
done to check the blight It will greatly
shorten the potato crop. At the rate
II is going now will not have any po-
tatoes left in a short time"
The country between Topeka and
Kansas City is the great potato region
to spread it means the loss of the prin-
cipal crop.

FATHER KNEIPP Is DEAD.
He is a Monument to the Efficacy Of
His Water Cure, Having Lived
IS Years

Munich. June 1.-THE Rev. Father
Kneipp, known throughout the world
for his water cure who has been SUI
ferr ng for sometime past died at
Woerishofen.
Father Sebastian Kneipp was born in
the Bavarian village Of Ottobeura about
weaver He was educated at the
Catholic hospital in Augustberg where
he attracted the attention OF the bishop
Of August berg who obtained permission
to educate him to the priesthood When
16 years old he was attacked with nerv-
Gus prCStratiOn and returned TO the hos
pitaL There in an old book he read an
article On the efficacy Of cold water as
a cure for disease, and began expert
menting in his own case, eventually eff
1ecting cure
When 25 years of age he entered the
priesthood and was sent to the church
of his native town, where he remained
nine years and in addition to attending
to his prieSrly duties, practiced the wa
ter cure and met with considerable sue
cess. Some a years ago he was trans
ferred from OttObeurn to WoeriShOfen,
near Munich where he continued to heal
the sick by cold water cures and at
tracted much attention In 1889 he
wrote q book detailing his theory and
since that time his name and methods
have become familiar throughout the
world.
BY permission of his bishop, he gave
up his duties as priest and with the
assistance of three other priests devo-
ted 81 his time to healing the sick Ne
fixed charges were made and the volun-
tary contrl buttons ofthose who had been
benefited paid for the construction of a
sanitarium at Woerishofen in 1890, cap
able of accommodating about 900 chill
dren. In the following year a second
and a third building were erected large
enough TO accommodate 1,200 priests
and sisters of the church. In 1894 ac-
comm da ton for 300 lepers and 1000
general patients was added BY this
me the revenues of the sanitarium had
so increa sed that they enriched the
church and also greatly benefited Wo-
erish fen. The town was provided with
electric ghts, a splendid system of wa
te-WOrks and many other modern inn
pToVeEents.
Father Knsipp has treated many dis
tirguished patients including the En-
perCr OF Austria, The Arch Duke Joseph
of Austria, the Arch Duke Augustin of
Aus ria, several members of the ROths-
child family and the Pope
Last year l. IS estimated about 80 600
people We're treated by Father Kneipp
and his assistants.

POLITICS IN KANSAS.
James II. Repder is Among the
kickers
Because Kansas Old Soldiers
Were Snubbed.
T. ". Eckert Surprised That Lit
Crum Was Thrown Down
So Hard

Put me down on the list of fellows
who are mad because of the appoint
meat made for Kansas by Senator Ba-
kerr said James H. Reeder of Hays
City to a Journal reporter today.
Il am not kicking because I think
Mr.. Leland will not administer the at
fairs Of the pension office in credita bic
style, but because the old soldiers of
Kansas were promised the man they
indorsed.
No one denies that the old soldiers
wanted Tom Anderson, and they didn't
get him. He had the Endorsements, but
Leland downed him.
This is way 10 cultivate patriot
ism. The old soldiers should be given
some consideration. They certainly
merit 1t. NO one denies that. They ask
ed for but one thing, and were turned
down. Such action will not strengthen
the party in Kansas.
The only ascessionS to the Repub1i-
can party in the last campaign were old
soldiers who had slOugned off to the
POpuHStS. They came back last fall,
but only TO be slapped in the face after
the election. There are men around
here who are saying the appointments
were the best that could be made. Such
talk makes me tired. II Is not true a
strong appointment is one which pleas
es the greatest number OF people. The
appointment of Leland does not please
the people E4NlCEIEe-Iu2 LaeC I1aL ne
was not Endorsed by any great num-
Der Of people.
7 have no complaint to make against
Leland except to say that his appoint
ment as pension agent was not a good
one. 1t viii do injury and create dis
sessions which will require years in
patching UP. 1t is as unfortunate as it
was impOlitic.''
T. W. Eckert, editor of the Arkansas
City Traveller, is pleased with all ap-
pOintments made by Senator Baker,
except for United States marshal.
DO not understand that I mean to
object TO Billy Sterne,' said Mr.. Eckert
to Journal reporter lie is one of the
best men in Kansas. He will make a
first class officer and viii represent the
party faithfully.
The people OF the Third district are
disappointed at the defeat Of Mr.. Crum.
He has always been one of the best
workers in our district and our people
wanted to see him get the place TO
which he had 3spired for 50 many
years It is unfortunate that he was
defeated but I assure you that he will
be doing business among the earnest
party workers just the same in the fu-
ture as in the past. Crum does not get
sore He always works, and if turned
down works the harder to win the next
No doubt Mr. Crum viii work" but
the work will be directed toward TAX
ing the hide of OF Cy Leland
