In the afternoon quite a number OF
men and women interested in milk
and it's product assembled in the
court room, where speeches were
made by G. A, Rogers, j. X. Forney
and W. W. MARBLE Of the creamery
company. Mr.. Forney is the presi-
dent OF the company, and traced it's
history from the beginning. 1t start
ed in with an annual product OF 5000
pounds, and now puts out l,25O,OOO
pounds. Dickinson county with 49,
600 cows, gets S259,OOO annually for
their butter, Sedgwick with 11,00O,
gets $l53,0OO while Phillips with g.
500 COWS, received $41,0OO. "What
has been done in Dickinson county
can be done in Phillips" SAID the
speaker in closing
This morning over 5000 pounds
Of milk we're received, eighteen new
customers sending in milk. The
company here starts out with q very
fattering prospect, and aS il is Of
6cered by careful men, there is no
reason why the station should not
be made to pay both stockholders
and patrons.
The company has made q wise
choice in selecting Phil Townsley
as local manager, as he has The con.
fidence Of the entire community, and
WILL be able to hold the present trade
and work up new business.
II will be sometime before every.
thing will run smooth, as tho plan
Of business is new to most Of our PEG.
pie. But with a little attention to the
question OF handling milk the pat.
rons should sustain no losses through
their milk Souring. This morning
four cans we're rejected owing to the
fact that the milk WAS sour when il
reached the station. II 10 said that
the best plan Is to have two cans and
keep the night and morning milk
seperate. II this cannot be done, q
good plan is to strain the nights milk
into large can, placing the can in
water or in a cool place covered with
only light cloth. Stir the milk two
Or three times within an hour Cool
the mornings milk before mixing.
There will be some disCouragements,
but If the milk customers will stick
to the station, we believe that the re.
turns will be much greater than
through the old system Of making
butter, and the work is 80 much less
for the farmers wife.

A Washington, D. q. correspondent
thus sizes up Senator Allison.
Senator Allison, who has charge
of the tariff bill in the absence Of Mr..
Aldricb, Of Rhode Island, is moving
along with great dignity. Mr.. ALI
son is very diplomatic man, works
very quietly and softly. Gen. Logan
once make the remark that Allison
could walk across room carpeted
with eggs and never crack a shell.
Senator Stewart, in praislng Mr.. Al
llson's diplomatic ability says that he
jumps from one side OF q subject to
the other with such rspidity that you
think he 10 on both sides all the time.
Senator Jones, Of Nevada, compli-
ments Mr.. Allison with the opinion
that he is 80 extremely conservative
that he is against anything that he is
in favor Of. With so able q leader as
Senator Allison the tariff bill is rapid
ly approaching completion. If some
heroic man like Senator Quay was in
charge of the bill, with his unyield.
ing, unbending, never.ssy-die princl-
Piles, there ls no telling when the bill
would come to q vote, but Allison
stands ready on all occasions to
throw out the white flag, which in.
sures perpetual peace.

THE BEST I'M TWENTY-FIVE
$3.50 POUNDS OF MILK
Delivered at PhilHpsburg Station, Tuesday.

Last Tuesday the sklmming station
was opened at this place, When the
work Of securing stock subscriptions
for a skimming station TO be located at
this point was commenced, the solic-
itors met with much encouragement,
and for while it looked as though
the task was more than they could
accomplish. But they had faith that
the people wanted the enterprise
started, and only needed time to
think the matter over. For some
reason or other but few of the buai.
ness men of the town took any in
terest in the project, so that when
the work was finally finished the list
showed that about four,fifths of the
stockholders were farmers. The COM
pany was organized and a contract
made with the Kansas Creamery
Company for the erection Of the
necessary building and machinery.
Tuesday the work was finished and
the wheels started. The first man to
sell milk to the station was O. W.
Caswell, with ChaS. Frederick close
second. The stream of milk cans
kept increasing until some sixty GUS
toners had turned in milk with a
total weight Of $3.50 pounds. This
is the twenty-ifth station opened
under the auspices Of the Kansas
Creamery Company, and this station
leads the highest by LOGO pounds

A Reformatory Convict Gave
the Officer a Chase Here
Wednesday.

Sheriff Erickson, of Brainerd, had
quite a lively chase near the depot In
this city Wednesday afternoon.
He was on his way to st. Cloud,
to take to the reformatory young
lad who had received his sentence
ut the recent term Of the district
court for Crow Wing county.
The boy is u cripple, and, no doubt,
the officer thought there was little
likelihood of his attempting to es-
cape. Sheriff Erickson wanted to
go through on the train to Mime
apolis and went into the depot to
telegraph to the st. Cloud authorities
to meet him at che depot and take
charge of the prisoner.
He asked one Of the passengers to
watch the prisoner while he went in
to the depot, but for some reason
the man did not do it, and when the
officer returned his prisoner was
gone. The lad jumped off the cars
and made for the woods east of the
depot, but he was discovered. and
the officer gave chase. Those who
saw the cripple running said they
never saw any cripplelmake the time
he did, and If he had two good legs
he coul.l beat the wind.
The lad ran around .the jacobson
store building and craw]ed under it.
The officer soon discovered his hid
ing place, and took him into custody
aR ain. The train left before the
officer could get his prisoner back,
80 he waited here and took the early
m orning train for st. Cloud. The
prisoner told the officer that II he
had not been cripple the chances
for catching him after he got away
would have been very poor. The
cripple is a pickpocket and sneak
thief, and is said to be a pretty tough
character. The officer has learned
that even cripple will take desper-
ate chances to secure his liberty.
