Following is a list Of patrons who
have led in the amount Of milk deliv'
cred to the company and who thus
have done most towards making the
institution success on the part OF
the patrons and have also always re-
ceived very satisfa tory returns for
their labors. These facts are proven
by the energy put forth to improve
the quality Of their diaries by weed
ing out poor cows and replacing them
by higher type, thus charging their
herds, consequently the ideal dairy
development Of larger productions in
a small field: J. H. Carkhutf, George
Mintel, W. r. Stone, J. 7. Woolverton,
Nancy Lenhart, H. S. Engle, N. Z.

average combined Of these was 2,ll5
pounds per month.
Total milk receipts for the year.sil9,6l4 lbs
Total amount butter made. .......ls7,5 1903 lbs
Total receipts for butter. ....a.." ..sA, 40 ~
The receipts have been distributed
among the patrons.
The second annual meeting for the
election Of officers was held Oct. 10,
1898, when the following were elected:
G. W. Minick, president; 4. S. Engle,
general manager and secretary;J. l..
Engle, treasurer and J. H. Carkhuff,
c. c. Sherwood, c. S. Kraybill and
Jacob S. Engle, directors. The ques-
ton Of adding skimming stations to
this plant was discussed but not fav-
orably considered. The consensus Of
opinion was that unless some terri
tory could be acquired with equal ad-
vantages Of good dairy herds and
feeding equal TO their own territory
it might be detrimental to the pro-
duction Of uniform flavor and quail
ity Of butter which has attended SO
far their factory and the subject was
laid over for the present.
The Acme creamery is now well
known, east, west and south, and
their brands OF butter rank with the
hest grades. The demand is greater
than the factory can supply. The
butter is uniform nquality and flavor
and its name is now relied on as pos
sessing these qualities. The success
OF this institution is due to the econ
omy Of its management and palnstak-
ing care Of the buttermaker to pro.
duce clear, pure and sweet product.

ABOUT THE ACNE.
Report Of Two Years Work Of the
Creamery Companv.


October l, 1896, the farmers Of Gar
field and Newbern townships and
vicinity found themselves with good
pastures and good number Of dairy
COWS but at too great a distance from
any creamery to conveniently dispose
Of their milk. Living midway be.
tween the Holland creamery and Abb
lene, the expense and time required
in hauling their milk to either place
materially affecting the profits Of
dairy.
E. s. Engle, having a fine herd Of
dairy cows, had been for some time
operating a dairy Of bis own, using
an Alpha separator and shipping the
product Of his dairy to various mar
kets to his great advantage. His
neighbors and friends discovering
this met together to consult with each
other and determine on some plan
whereby they could mutually work
together for each others advantage
in disposing Of their milk product.
The usual custom Of paying premi-
UNI TO some other company to locate
a creamery for them was not to be
considered. What other companies
could do they could do for themselves
and save their premium. Therefore
they proceeded to organize company
and solicited all in their locality to
interest themselves in it by taking
one share of stock each in the COM
panv at par value. The basis of its
operation was to be that from the
proceeds of the monthly sales: First,
to pay the expenses in operating the
creamery; second, to set aside 10 per
cent dividend for the stockholders as
interest on their investment, and in
addition a reasonable amount for a
sinking fund to meet casualties, wear
and tear of the plant and necessary
improvements or additions; the re-
mainder Of the proceeds to be paid for
milk. 1t was chartered as the Acme
Creamery company with authorized
capital OF IS, 900, and on Dec. 10, 1896,
was opened for business. They did
not hold any public celebration but
on the day following drank freely of
Acme buttermilk and declared it
very thin, but were proud OF their
butter. The community has stayed
with their home institution, their
managers have exerted themselves to
make it pay and it has become ben
eft to them as it has brought with it
a store, blacksmith shop and a post
office and daily mail.
In October, 1897, the stockholders
held their first annual meeting. They
had received 10 per cent dividend on
their shares Of stock and found them
selves owners of creamery plant and
other assets worth about "a, 900, clear
Of all liabilities. The following drec-
tors were elected: G. w. Minick, E.
S. Engle, J. L. Engle, c. s. Kraybill,
J. H. Carkhuff, S. Goldsmith and G.
c. Sherwood. George Minick was
then elected president, Z. s. Engle
manager and secretary and j. l..
Engle treasurer, J. S. Engle being en-
gagged to take charge Of the butter
manufacturing department.

REPORTED BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.
Pop Leaders and the Supreme Court.
One NJ the features of Gov. Leedy's

6Vp A0eu0As oAu VIZ SuPA0AV 0"~A~
One OF the features Of Gov. Leedy's
speech in Abilene was a venomous
attack upon the supreme court Of the
United States. He repeated in sub
stance II not in words this sentiment
from one OF his recent addresses:
1.-The United States Judges are reek-
ing with dishonesty, and there is mol
hope Of getting just decision from
them against their masters and own
ers, the railroads and other corpora
tions. These fat, high.fed United
States judges never fail to annul a
state enactment when they get a
chance and they ride over the state
courts at every opportunity. ! tell
you we must get our hands on this
supreme court. We must clean the
robbers and boodlers out"
The Kansas City Journal in calling
attention to this shameful language
from the chief executive Of the State
Of Kansas notes the action Of the su-
preme court only this week in decid-
ing against the railroads on the joint
traffic association case the most i'm.
portant Of recent years. 1t also refers
to the Kirby bank case. 1t says;
"On Saturday at Little Rock,
United States District Judge Will
liams, the man who has been so indie.
Gently assailed by Governor Leedy,
discharged from attachment real es-
tate valued at $4,000, which had
been seized by an eastern creditor as
the property Of failing Kansas bank.
In discharging this attachment Judge
Williams did 50 on the ground that
the federal courts will not interfere
with the rights and remedies Of the
state courts-thus giving the lie d.
rect to the Kansas governor who al
leges that this eminent judge is never
SO happy as when annulling a Kansas
statute"
1t might have added that David
Overmeyer, another Populist leader,
who is always bowling against the
interference OF United States courts
with state courts was the attorney for
the plaintiff in the above case. He
had claimant whose redress, if any,
was in the state court but he rushed
to the United States court and issued
attachments to prevent those who
abided by the state courts from re-
ceiving their dividends promptly.
Judge Williams not only dissolved
the attachment but, we are informed,
expressed an opinion that Mr.. Over
meyer might properly have been fined
for contempt by Judge Moore for at
tachiug property which was in the
hands of the district court here. Such
is Mr.. Overmeyer's consistency in the
matter.
The Journals opinion Of Leedy will
meet with general approval; Here is
a man unlesrned in the law and con.
stitution, wrapped in prejudice, posed
on pedestal of self-conceit, low
minded, groveling, profane and OBJ
scene, who yet has the audacity to
review decisions made by the most
eminent jurists Of the world, and, If
they do not adjust themselves to his
own conclusions, to denounce them
