THE GOOD WORK AT PI0UA.

Piqua, Kans.
EDITOR REGISTER:
Noticing an item in your last week g
paper dated May %, regarding the
joints of Piqua, upon information
given you by Mr.. A. Barnhart, we
would like to make a few corrections
as Mr.. Barnhart has certainly been
misinformed.
Now as regards the joints of our
town, no doubt they are closed and
under control and will be kept so
and that they were closed by Cath
Olics. But the statement made that
the priest got tired, as he expressed
it, of having his communicates come
to mass and then get drunk on their
way home, and so he called his flock
together and told them that the joints
must go or he would"-lhis is not
correct.
While our priest has faithfully
worked against these joints His Rev.
CiOhSO hdc hCNCI LuouC SUM- a Ooii'
Our priest is we'll satisfied with his
flock in general and SO is his flock
with him. The Catholics as rule
are law abiding citizens. There are
exceptions in their religion as well
as in any other. Christ himself
among His twelve apostles had one
Judas.
Some OF our Protestant friends seem
to be under the impression that we
Catholics must at all times do as our
priest wants US to do may he be right
or wrong. This is mistake. While
as rule we do. it is because they,
as our pastor and spiritual guide,
look out for our morals and faith.
That is their mission.
What mostly brought these joints
to close was this Sunday business,
having their place of business open
all day. All the hard bats from the
surrounding country and not only
them, but from our neigh boring towns
especially lola and NeoshO Falls,
come in here and have a jollification
and a glorious time as they may call
it especially on Sundays and Sunday
nights and thereby interrupt and dis
turb the peace of our little town and
community on the Lords day.

A CORRECTION.

In making up the forms of the REG
IsTER last week the editorial comment
upon the candidacy of Mr.. r. H.
Cunningham and Mr.. Hiram Hoff-
man, was by mistake put under the
heading "For County Clerk" thus
giving the impression that these
gentlemen are candidates for that
Office. The paragraphs should have
appeared under the heading "FOr
Sheriff. as that is the office for which
both the gentlemen named are candi-
dates. We regret the error but trust
that no harm will result from it.

THE INSTITUTE.

The Normal Institute will begin in
good earnest next Monday and prom
ises large attendance and y most
interesting session. lola is proud to
have the Normal meet here every
year, and the REGISTER assures the
teachers who will attend it that their
coming is looked forward to with
pleasure and that their welcome will
be hearty and sincere.
Heretofore there have been so many
vacant rooms, and so many half
empty boarding houses that there
was no difficulty in bestowing all the
attendants at the Institute. This
year, however, the conditions are
vastly different. There is not 8
vacant house nor a vacant room in
town and all our hotels and boarding
houses are crowded to overflow
ing. But lola hospitality has risen
to the emergency and the students
will find themselves quayteTed in the
homes of the best people of our town
Under such circumstances the rela-
tiOns between the citizens of lola and
the students who are to be their
guests should be even more cordial
than usual, and we doubt not that
the coming four weeks will be re-
membered with pleasure by all con-
cerned.
In the name of the people of lola
the REGISTER bids the instructors
and students of the Normal Institute
welcome, and wishes them a month
Of profit and enjoyment.

DOES A CREAMERY PAY?

The lola Creamery now has about
% patrons. That is doing fairly well
considering all the circumstances.
But it Ought to have $50. One reason
it hasn't is because good many peO-
pie who intend to patrOnize it haven't
''got around to ii yet" But the chief
reason, doubtless, is because those
who have had no experience with a
creamery doubt whether it is going
to pay them to sell their milk to it.
The fact that every creamery in the
State which is properly managed is
prosperous ought to be a convincing
answer to this doubt. But for the
benefit of those who want more direct
testimony we append a letter lately
published in the Marion Record.
The writer of this letter seems to
know his business and the editor of
the Record Hon. f. w. HOch) per-
sonally vOucbes for his standing and
reliability. Here is the letter:
EDITOR RECORD: Does the dairy business
pay? has been the question asked me a
great many times, and l have asked the
same question different times myself And
the answer was, yes. SO 1 thought if there
was money in it for Others there was money
in it for me, and in order to find out have
kept memorandum for the past twelve
months. and will give it to the public, hop
ing someone may be benefited by it. On
the I4th of October. 1895 bought COWS for
SI75, including two small calves Having
three cows on hand made me 10 cows to be-
gin with, commencing November 1. InFeb-
rusry I sold calves to George Penland for
$40, and bought another COW for $50, making
IL COWS. They have all had calves since,
and about month ago 1 sold of them to
John Gilbert for $50. and still have left
that are worth $50, and still have the IL
COWS.
I sold 50,3o1 pounds of milk, which
amounts to S29250. Now, I have furnished
the figures and the other fellows can figure
it out. ! am satisfied the COW will do more
for the Marion county farmer than any
other animal he can handle, if properly
taken care of. Almost all cows will go dry
from one to two months in the year, and
my experience is that tle best time for that
period is in July and August. as milk is
cheaper flies more troublesome, and be-
sides it is a very busy time of the year.
Now in order to get the full Seneft Of the
dairy business it is best to raise lots of pigs,
have yeur own drivers and horses, and milk
as many COWS as you can conveniently
handle KANE HUTCHENs.

The bicycle seems to be making too
rapid strides into the field of utility.
1t invaded avenues of trade very soon
after it's use became general, and it has
proved a valuable factor in many lines
Of business, but there is danger that its
enthusiastic advocates will push its
claims for availability too far. This
menace is obvious in an incident re-
ported from Elizabethport, \. j., where
a funeral procession consisted OF two
carriages and fifteen bicycles. The
properly solemn aspect of this occasion
could not fail to be marred by a sue
ceSsiOn of mOurners ON wheels. Such
a cortege requires all elements Of mis-
chance to be eliminated as far as posi-
ble and bicycles are so prone to have
various things happen to them at illop-
perfume moments that they are decid-
edly out of place at funeral. One
punctured tire at such a time would be
sure to create the greatest confusion,
where all things should be Staid and
calm, and the Imagination can picture
many other typical bicycle calamities
any one of which would be fatal to
funeral decorum. Surely a line must
be drawn for bicycles, and let it be
drawn at funerals.

Prince Constantine must be having a
hard time of it if he cannot even set
out to take his own life without being
forced to beat a retreat. 1t is reported
that she wanted to blow out his brains,
but his officers refused to permit him."
Apparently he consulted his officers
on the important question first. The
Prince is literally supplied with death
dealing instruments, and it was possi-
BILE for him to take q mean advantage
Of his suite and destroy himself before
his officers could know of his purpose.
But being a contiding Prince he seems
to have broached the matter as an af-
fair of state, and he must have been
deeply humiliated to find that his Off
GERS differed with him radically as to
the wisdom of his policy. But fortu-
nately the Prince is not an obstinate

In spite of the very large and pow

country is constantly seeking to in

Just now these efforts are taking the
form of an agitation for an adequate

come out that France has much larger

has had trouble to maintain her quota

Guilty if war should come. This has
caused no small alarm in a nation
whose policy and position make it abso-
lutely necessary to maintain a navy at
all times superior to that of any other
on earth. Efforts to make q showing
of reserve seamen have proved failures,
and more than one speed trial of new
gunboats has had to be postponed for
lack of an adequate crew. The English
know that the next war in which they
engage may place the life of the nation
at stake, and, as always, the bulwarll
will be the navy. If this cannot be de-

High Duties On Buttons.

The button manufacturers, present
and prospective, are unusually greedy
in their demands for tariff duties. Nc.
Kinley duties are entirely too slow for
the button infants. The following is
part of statement made by button i'm
porters:
The proposed duties on buttons, as
per schedule of the finance committee
Of the senate, are as rule prohibitory
and would prove a severe hardship Oh
goods used by the poorer and middle
classes, and also to manufacturers of
various garments used by the mass of
our people, such as low priced shirts.

ing data will give some. idea Of the in
equalities of the proposed duties:

that make up the great bulk of the i'm
portations. The following schedule,
taking the styles that sell, shows the

These buttons are not made here. nor
are they likely to be made. First, be-
cause little or none Of the raw material
required has been found here; second,
because the total sales being limited to
this country would not warrant the
investment of the necessary capital in a
plant needed to make the various styles
wanted. tits evident that the intention
is to exclude these goods in the interest
of some higher cost goods. The proposed
duty would be real hardship and bear

Virtue, however lovely, happy and
harmonious, is very weak. 1t includes
in itself all the power that has been
exercised to attain it, and without
which it could never have existed. 1t
is the habitual choice of the good over
the evil made gladly at last, but telling
of many a conflict, many toilsome
climb before the habit was formed. 1t
is through many victories over strong
desires and passions which might have
swept us away and made us slaves
that we can win freedom to walk in
the pleasant paths Of virtue.
