GO DRINK BUTTERMILK.
There Will be an Immense Crowd at
the Creamery Opening.

There is to be a formal opening of the
new creamery situated on Jackson
street, just north of Sixth street tomor-
row morning at 9 o'clock.
This firm came to Topeka to open
state headquarters. 1t was not the in
tention originally to open creamery
for the manufacture of butter. But it
was finally decided to equip the plant
with modern apparatus and make a
model creamery right in the heart of
Topeka. That has been done and to-
morrow morning the people of Topeka
and especially the ladies are to be given
an insight into practical butter max
ing.
The reception will be held from to
II o'clock in the morning. There will
be an orchestra and the machinery will
be in operation and the different pro-
cess from the time the milk is brought
to the door until it is turned out of the
churn as butter will be shown by prac-
ticaI butter makers. The ladies will be
given souvenirs in the form of a small
package of butter.
Treasurer Patterson of the Creamery
company told a Journal reporter today
that the company is delighted with To-
peka from every standpoint. The pat
ronage is much better than was expect
ed and the founders of the Topeka
eamery do not regret their move.

than it is toward saving the one al
ready nerve-racked and disordered. If
healthy boys can be raised to manhood
in Kansas without the temptation of
the saloon, the number of temperate
men so years from now will be increased
and eventually the curse of drunken
ness may be nearly wiped out. It will
take long time, as every reform of
this nature does but it should be the
last thing any right minded man would
do, to permit the re-esta blishment of
the open saloon, so that boys grow up
with it constantly before them. A few
large barreled, rednosed old sots in To-
peka yet exist, but they are useful.
They serve as object lessons to boys,
and as a warning what they may be-
come if they are not careful. There are
no saloons to increase the number of
these unhappy wrecks, but the congen-
ial clubs where men congregate to
enjoy each others company and regard
liquor as an aid TO that purpose keep
manufacturing a few, 50 that the sup
ply of object lessons will not run short

PROFIT-SHARING PLAN.
A Model English Village Run on the
Cooperative System.

London. May Port Sunlight is a
model village for working people, stu
ated about six miles from Liverpool,
and esta bIished by the great manufac-
built it in order to supply their numer-
Gus WOrkmen with cOmfOrta bic homes
near the factories, at a minimum of ex-
pense, and also to endeavor to make the
whole system cooperative.
The village is young having been
founded a little over 10 years ago. The
streets are laid out somewhat after the
style of the prettier new American cit
les, with trees planted in the streets
and lawns in front of the houses. There
are no aldermen to give away fran
chiseS regardless of the will of the peO-
pie, nor are there saloons at every cor
ner. The homes of the workmen are
modern, and contain the 1uXuries of hot
and cold water, gas. water closet-in
fact, all scientific sanitary arrange
ments. Cozy fire places are in nearly
every room, and all are neatly decora-
ted.
All this is given at a monthly rental
of from 81 to Sc. The rent includes
gas and water, and is scarcely sufficient
to keep the houses in repair. The en-
ployers and the employees govern the
village, each department of the works
electing six members to the village
council. The village, moreover offers
all the social features and advantages
of a larger town in the way of clubs,
churches, public buildings and free
schools, which are maintained by the
company.
1t costs a member but "a cents a year
TO join club or society, the firm con-
tributing three times as much, where
he has all the features of the modern
club. All these items, if counted as a
portion of the wages, would make them
very high. An eight hour day prevails.
This profit-sharing scheme, the success
of which is due TO good management
has resulted in great satisfaction to all

EUROPE'S POOR GRAIN CROP
Great Britain and France Behind in
Wheat Production

London, May THE Mark Lane tx
press in its weekly review of the grain
situation, today says:
The wheat in Great Britain is irreg-
ular and off color and it is not thought
it can come up to an average crop even
with fine summer. It is certain the
barley crop is below the average, but
the weather has suited oats.
Only a preliminary estimate of the
wheat crop in France of 81, 100000 quar-
tiers has been made. It shows that the
yield is likely to be the smallest since
1894: We must, therefore, be prepared
to find France a strong competitive
buyer from September, instead, of as
in the past two years, a small buyer OF
Russian and American wheat and an
exporter of -four to the United King
dom.
In Germany, Austria. Italy and Spain
the agricultural outlook is satisfa ctcry.
Russia promises an average crop The
fall in the price of oats warns farmers
that the acreage is overdone, and that
competition between Russia and Amer
lea viii be fornida BILE, with low freightS

KINSELLA INDIGNANT.
Tells Judge Hazen He Doesn't Want
ANY of His Mercy

J. M Kinsella was sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary by Judge
Hazen yesterday afternoon. Kinsella
was convicted of pocket picking at the
commencement of the April term of the
district court, and is the first convicted
a this term of court to- receive sem
tence. When asked by Judge Hazen if
he had anything to say, Kinsella said;
''All have to say is that l don't want
any of your mercy. You can keep that
for some unfortunate wretch who be-
lieves that a court has mercy. My trial
was simply a farce, nothing else, and
now you can do whatever you please
with me-
Kinsella attempted to pick the pocket
of a woman on a Union Pacific train
last January, and was caught in the act
by Policeman John Lucas When ar
rested he fought desperately with the
officer and it took the combined efforts
of three men to take him to the police
station

GOLD IN OKLAHOMA.
II. n. Brown of Topeka, Believes He
Has Found Paying Quartz.

Captain H H. Brown of Topeka who
is now in Oklahoma writes to friends
here that he and party of five others,
while prospecting in the Wichita noun
tains found surface quartz carrying
gold and silver in paying quantities.
Other prospectOrs, writes Captain
Brown, have found quartz assaying $40
per ton of gold. He states that there is
much interest being manifested in the
discoveries and that prospectors are go
ing into the mountains in great num-
berS.
Mr.. Brown suggests that if the ex-
element increases during the next few
weeks as it has during the past month
that Oklahoma will enjoy a genuine
boom along that line.
