BUTTONS OF MILK.
Cows wn Also supply Us with Combs
and Billiard Balls.

and Billiard Balls.
For long time buttons and other ar
ticles for which bone is generally used
have been made from CONCEALED blood,
purchased by the button makers at the
slaughter houses and treated with some
substance that hardens it to the sufii-
cient consistency. From blood to milk
is a long remove, but the same articles
that are made from blood can be made
from milk by process invented by an
Englishman named James Callander
and soon to be introduced into this
country.
The milk used is the skimmilk that
is of little use for domestic purposes and
can be obtained very cheaply. 1t is the
milk that remains after the cream has
been skinned off. The process Of turn
ing this liquid into buttons, pool balls,
combs, backs of hairbrushes and simi-
lar articles consists, first, Of straining
the milk through cloth in order to re-
move every vestige of cream, and then
mixing it with substance the ingredi-
ents Of which are secret of the inventor
and COMPRISING it. At the end of three
days the substance is as solid as cellu-
loid and is ready to DO cut and shaped
in any way the manufacturer wishes.
At present a factory in Holland is en-
gagged in fashioning the hardened milk
into various articles, buttons being the
chief. The buttons made in this peculiar
way differ very little in appearance
from ordinary bone buttons. They are a
creamy white in appearance, but can be
colored black or red or any other color
by simply mixing the coloring matter
with the milk before the hardening
process begins. They are said to possess
advantages over the bone and celluloid
article in being less brittle and less liza
BILE to chip. For this reason the billiard
balls and pool balls which have been
made in England from this substance
have found favor where a cheap ball is
required instead Of the expensive ivory
ones.
For combs the milk substance has
been found TO be especially we'll adapted,
as it is smooth and delicate to the touch
and derives from its creamy origin
glossy surface that is just the thing for
combs In the same way it is good
substitute for ivory in billiard and pool
balls. York Herald.

THE PALATiAL PRIVATE CAR OF
e. n. r. GREEN.

It 10 the Handsomest In Existence-The
Interior Arrangement Provides Every
thing Found In a Modern Apartment.
He In the Only Sou of Hetty Green.
What is undoubtedly the finest private
car at the disposal Of railroad magnate
In this or any other country was recent
]y built for E. Il. r. Green, president
Of the Texas Midland railroad. In di-
rect contrast to the economical practices
Of his millionaire mother, Mrs. Hetty
Green, he shows decided disposition
to enjoy the good things of life and to
make his way in as easy and comfort
able manner as is compatible with the
duties OF an energetic business man.
This is proved by the manner in which
he travels over the big state of Texas in
his rolling palace, the Lone Star.
Palatial is the only word which is
applicable to this car Even the private
cars of British royalty pale into COM
parative insignificance beside the pos
session Of the son Of the richest woman
in America.
The exterior Of the car resembles the
ordinary Pullman coach. 1t is 60 feet
long. 1t was the aim in construction to
utilize every foot of space in the in
terror, and it might be aptly termed q
rolling fat, as there is every convenience
that could be found in one Of the most
modern Of apartments. 1t has recep-
tion room, private sleeping apartment,
dining room and kitchen. The prin-
cipal and largest apartment is the OBJ
servation or reception room at one end
of the car. This occupies an area of
more than 1S feet in length. 1t includes
two sleeping sections on either side,
which are nearly 8 feet long, but during

He Forged the Checks.

A bold forgery was committed in this
city last week Monday, but those par
ties upon whom the deed was perpe-
hated did not discover it until the next
day. A man giving his name as G..
Miller went into Smith & DixsOn's
shoe store Monday evening and buy
ing pair of 80 cent plow shoes, pre-
sented a check for six dollars with the
name "B. Jewell" signed to it, claiming
that he had been working for him, and
had received the check in payment.
AT Chas. Haas meat market he also
got similar check cashed and tried
the same deal at Hutchinson's, where
he was refused the money; at Schuck's s
dry goods store he purchased few
small articles and got check for six
dollars with the name "Ole Gilbertson"
signed to it, cashed. The forger has
not been seen here since, and it is sup
posed that he made his escape that
night.

Memorial Day Proclamation.

A Proclamation by the Governor:
Again the day approaches which a
beautiful custom devotes to honoring
the memory of the departed heroes of
the republic, thus keeping alive in our
selves the recollections of their deeds,
and implanting in the minds of those
who have come upon the stage of faction
since the storm of war passed off a just
appreciation of the worth of the men
whom we thus commemorate. High
ly fitting is it that such a day be always
observed.
AS the S0th day of May this year
falls OH the first day of the week l.,
Francis M. Drake, governor of the
state of Iowa, do recommend that, on
such day as may be chosen for the
usual ceremonies i'm the various locali-
ties of the state, we do all laying aside
as far as practicable our ordinary avo-
cations and refralning from whatever
may disturb or mar an appropriate OBJ
servance of the day, unite in doing
honor to the memory of the departed
heroes, visiting the graves consecrated
by holding their precious remains, and
lovingly and reverently decorating
with the flowers of spring their last
resting place. They spared not even
themselves when their country called
Let us give to their memory at least
one day in all the year.
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state of
Iowa.

GIVES A GOOD SHOW.
Ida Fuller and Her Clever Company
at the Auditorium.

A good show, and one well worth
seeing, is that given by Miss Ida Fuller
and her vaudeville company. Miss
Ida Fuller, sister of the better known
but no more skillful La Loie, appeared
in four urdances-Night, Transformation,
Fire and Lily-all marvelously beauti-
full, and in the last one Miss Fuller
whirls $50 yards of cObweb silk into a
gigantic Gala lily, Is feet in height.
Her manipulations of her airy drapery
were remarkable, and must be seen to
be appreciated.
The first two hours were occupied by
the clever and amusing turns of the
company, and it was a pleasure to see
once more regular, first-class variety
show, with each act good of its kind,
and all free from any suggestion of
coarseness. Double recalls were the
rule and applause was liberal and en-
thusiastic. First came the bell ringers,
who played well, though with false
note now and then. Double recalls
gave Miss Addie Favort, the Australian
child, chance to sing two bright songs,
and give good Spanish dance. Kala-
cratus won much applause for his skill
ful feats of Juggling, and little Anita
Lawrence following her song with a
fine exhibition of contortion and high
kicking, performing her act most
modestly. Charles and Alice Barring
ton sang, and he initiated the cornet,
banjo, saw, dogs and other sounds and
instruments. The musical trio, Harry
and Arthur Lelliott and William Busch
played several instruments well, par
ticularly the cornet, and Arthur's
trombone solo, i'm which he worked the
slide with his foot, was unique and
clever. The company is decidedly Eng
lish, but its work is highly commend
able, and it is, as we'll as Miss Fuller,
merits good houses this afternoon and
evening .-SpOkesnan ReUieU.

INGALLS, AT DEBORAH.
The Great Kansas Orator Will Deliver
The Fourth of July Grafton.

Two of the happiest men in town last
Wednesday afternoon were Ben Bear
and Arthur Anundsen, when they re-
ceived word that Senator John J. In
gals could be engaged for July 4th.
For week they had been sending let
ters and kilograms broadcast over the
land in quest of some one of the nations
best speakers. They had before tried
Ingalls,, but failed to get him. also
Henry Watterson, "Billy" Mason, w.
j. Bryan, Knute Nelson, Robert IT.
Lincoln, Ignatius Donnelly, and sever
al others; they were in fact becoming
alarmed lest all of the very best speak
ers would be either engaged or unable
to come, but last Wednesday ex-sena-
tor John J. ingalls,, of Kansas, tele-
graphed the terms for which he could
be engaged, ian enormous sum for one
speech) and the return current carried
back the acceptance.
With Senator Ingalls, as orator, De-
bC outSellppCu III that
part of her celebration by any city in
the nation, and the way the different
committees are entering into their sew
eral duties justifies the prediction that
every form of amusement will be pre-
sented in a manner which will unite
in making the grandest Fourth of July
celebration ever known in northeastern
Iowa, if not in the state. What Decor
ah wants is the people from all over
this section of the state to gather here
en- masse, and she will guarantee to
even excel her former reputation for
entertaining her visitors. Lay your
plans so as to bring your whole family;
hear one of the greatest orators in the
country; enjoy booming old celebra-
ton, and go home happy. We are go
ing to expect you.

Bicycle Path to FreepOrt.

Cycle enthusiast are pushing a
movement to construct cycle path
along those parts of the roads to Trout
Run and FreepOrt which are too sandy
for easy riding. If enough money
can be raised it is proposed to build a
path from the fair ground gate 1900 feet
south, and on the road between Trout
Run and Freeport a path will be
built for some 400 feet where the road is
sandy. We hope the projectors of this
scheme may have the liberal support
