The New England Milk Producers
Union petitioned the railroad commits
sioners to have the law enforced, and a
rate made by the can from the various
stations at which milk was loaded for
the Boston market, and able counsel
was employed, but for reasons not yet
published, at the time FOR which the
hearing was set The union voted to
withdraw the petitions, discharged the
counsel, and allowed their agent to re-
sign.
1t would seem best that this absolute
control of the milk market and trans
portation to the milk market should
cease, and that the law should be com
piled with, so that every. farmer may
know the exact cost of freightine his
milk in any quantity at any time to any
market And I would call to your at
tention at this time the condition of af-
fairs, and urge that the matter receive
your careful consideration. to see
whether it is advisable or not, to take
up the matter of freight rates per can
into the Boston market, where the Milk
Producers Union left it, and push the
matter to the end and thereby insure
the farmers of every town reasonable
and proper facilities for marketing
their products.

FIRST OHIO STARTS.
Breaks Camp and Boards Cars
For Tampa.

Chickamauga Park, Tenn, July 10
The First Ohio cavalry broke camp at
an early hour this morning and started
on it's journey to Tampa. The regiment
marched nine miles to RinggoId where
trains were boarded. All the surplus
baggage, tents, etc, had been loaded
previously and the work of loading to-
day required but a short time. Six
trains were required to move the COM
mand. No moving orders for other reg
iments have yet been received. Nearly
all the regiments in the park are now
working several hours each day at tar
get practice. A number of ranges have
been established and each command is
allowed so much time at one of them.
The target practice is a regular part
of the department work and this most
important feature which at first seemed
to be overlooked is being given proper
attention.

CHANGE OF VENUE
In the Collins Case is Asked and Tenn
porariIy Denied.

Mr.. A. A. GODDARD went before Judge
Hazen this week to make application
for a change of venue in the trial of
John Collins for the murder of his ia
ther. Judge Hazen said that he would
not consider the application until the
September term of court. He will then
hear it.
Judge Hazen says that because of the
big expense it will mean to the state
he will not grant a change of venue
unless the attorneys for the defense
bring strong evidence to show that a
fair trial can not be had in this county.
If the change of venue is granted the
case will probably be sent to either
Judge Thompson at Alma or Judge
Spillman at Manhattan.
1t is the opinion of Judge Hazen that
it will take at least ten days to try the
case, and that at least 100 men will
have to be examined before satisfac-
tory jury is secured.
In whichever court it is tried the
case will take precedence over all other
criminal matters as it is a case where
bond can not be secured.

follows:
Sec. g. The use of intoxicating liquors
by policemen while on duty is positively
forbidden. and the, entrance Of any police
man into a drinking house. gambling
house or house of i'll fame or any other
place Of evil resort, except in the perform
ance of his official duty, will be cause for
discharge.
Sec. -. While policemen lose none of
/ their rights as citizens by their appoint
nent. yet active participation by them in
the management of political affairs, while
on duty. or in what is known as election~
eering, interferes with their duties a po-
Hcemen and is hereby forbidden. Any
such participation by an officer will be
regarded as sufficient cause for dismissal.
