KANSAS CREAMERIES.
Reports Received by the State Labor Blu

TOPEKA, Kan, July S.-Reports have
been received by the state labor bu-
reau from "a creameries, representing
% counties of the state. They show
that the average cost for labor per
creamery in 1897 was Sail. The av-
erage pay of male employees was S44S
for the year. There were six women
all told in the "a creameries, and their
wages averaged S2T1 for the year. The
plants were in operation an average
of 10. s months and the cost of labor
shows that a pound of butter, after
the milk has reached the creamery,
can be made for s. 10 cents. The inter
esting feature of the creamery reports
is that while only 2-5 per cent of
the products is sold in Kansas, Is LIS is
exported to Europe. The remainder
is sold in other states or goes else
where on the American continent.
The creamery men say it would be

The Deepest Suspense Felt in Washington,
but No Word Comes from Gen.
Shafter.

WASHINGTON. July S.-The deepest
suspense existed throughout military
and official circles in this city as the
day progressed and no word came
from Gen. Shafter. A round was
made of all the points of the war and
navy departments where dispatches
were usually received, but moth
ing was forthcoming as to the situa-
ton on the field Adjt. Gen. Corbin,
to whom the first military reports are
submitted. reiterated what he had said
earlier in the day that nothing had
come from Shafter since four o'clock
in the morning. The officials were not
even aware that the battle itself was
in progress. so far as the information
received to-day was concerned. The
lack of reports was attributed mainly
to the fact that Gen.. Shafter was so
thoroughly occupied with the impera-
tive duties of the hour that there was
scant time or opportunity for giving
the detailed progress of his move

A SEVERE north wind has done con-
siderable damage to grain and fruit in
the Sacramento and San Joaquin val
legs in California. The greatest loss
will fall upon the growers of wheat.
Some conservative farmers estimated
that 40 per cent. of the wheat had
been threshed out by the storm in Ger.
tain localities.

New York Ben Jordan, of England,

The Chicago stereotypers made Q
demand on the publishers association

hours of labor from eight to seven and
an increase in pay. It was refused

According to the same authority there
had been an alarming outbreak of

RECENT mail advices from Hong
Kong stated that the revolt against
the Spanish rule had extended to the
Caroline islands. The Spaniards have
only small garrison there and as
they are unable to send relief it is

THEY'RE WAKING UP.
People Now Realize That Dunkley's
Celery Compound Is the Real
Celery Tonic.

The surprising demand for Dunkleys
Genuine Celery Compound fully en-
phasizes the oft-repeated assertion that
this is a real, genuine celery remedy. 1t
is so Immediately effective, so thorough
ly bracing as a tonic and SO remarkably
curative that hundreds of families now
use Dunkley's Celery Compound as a
general household remedy. There are
certain facts connected with this Won
derful tonic that the public should know
more about. The laboratory is in the
midst of the finest celery farm in the
world the remedy is prepared in the
only celery distillery on this continent
and as only the heart of the plant is
utilized Dunkley's Celery Compound ac-
tually contains the genuine celery prin-
ciple and juices.
1t is put up in large bottles holding
a months supply of the remedy and no
ordinary case of weakness. impure blood,
lassitude, or the general effects of a run
down system will require more than a
single bottle of this great tonic to be
thoroughly and radically cured. Call
at your druggists and have him show
you bottle of this remarkably effective
Dunkleys Celery Compound.

CHESTNUT USED AS FOOD.
Employed as Substitute for Grain in
Breadmaking in Europe.

From the National Druggist.
While the use of the chestnut as an
article of food is very limited in this
country, there are portions of Europe
where the nut plays an important role
in the diet of the poorer classes, being
used as a substitute for the grains
(wheat, rye. or barley. in breadmak-
ing, and furnishing a very nourishing
and palatable drink as well. 1t is also
largely used as a dressing for game,
meats, and fowls, among the better
classes. The writer we'll remembers
two or three repasts, or lunches, OBJ
tanned at the cottages of the native
mountaineers, while travelling on foot
in the Apennines, in which stale chest
nut bread and a cup of goats milk fur
nished the sole comestibles; but, with
hunger as a sauce, and the mountain
air as a sharpener of the appetite,
thes We're wonderfully satisfying.
A Frenchman. Mr.. Ballard, has re-
Gently published a study of the econo-
mic value of the chestnut in France,
and from it we learn that the dry nut
contains nearly as much heterogeneous
matter as barley, with more fatty, but
a trifie less phosphate matter. France
produces annually about 5000, 900 quin-
tails (about 100000 tons) of the nuts, and
in times of scarcity of grain this fact
must play no unimportant part in the
Authorization of the masses.

New Figure for the Dance of the Season
Described.


A feature of the seasons unusually
general attention TO dancing in Chicago
is the revival Of the cotillon, which this
winter is the most popular of dances in
society. The leaders whose regulations
depend largely upon their ability TO
present an appearance as nearly as pos
sfble like the Apollo Belyedere in a
dress suit are in strict training. To the
cotillon leader who can invent new fig
ures for the comic dances, that will be
novel as we'll as pretty, goes the palm
and the honor of winning applause
where almost everyone is a starand the
calcium light is impartially distributed
Nothing is ridiculous when suggested
for the cotIllon. The sight OF grave
men of business wearing eccentric
headgear and going through evolutions
that belong by right to the inmates Of
an asylum for the insane is not regard
I'd as at all out of place in a society
ball room, whatever a stranger 10 the
social whirl might think of the spec
tacle.
Many curious suggestions have been
made for the cotillon that tend TO show
that this Is 10 be a great c0tillon year.

The lady upon whom falls the honor
of taking the lead in the figure Is pre-
scented with a long chain of geld. in
which at intervals are fitted golden
rings large enough 10 go over a mans
head and encircle his neck. With this
chain in her hand the lady begins a
tour of the bail room, while victims
quake and tremble every time her
glance falls upon them. Well is il for
those who have secured partners before
the lady of the golden chain comes her
way. Never was a wOman's protecting

passing of one of the rings over his

Presently another victim is captured

the procession wends its way through
