A THRIVING INDUSTRY.
The lola Creamery Is Spreading Out and
Winning a Deserved Success
and Reputation.

The lola Creamery has had the ex
perieuce OF all creameries and has
had to struggle along through its first
year with comparatively little return
for the money and energy expended,
but like other well managed cream
cries, 1t is now developing Roadway
and getting firmly on its feet.
When Mr.. Funk and Mr.. Dudley
started the creamery it was q new
thing to the farmers ofthe county and
they were slow to change from the
old:way of home. buttermaking to the
new way of sending their milk to the
creamery every day. Many of them
had few cows and no surplus milk
and others were held back by the
limited pasture land. The gentlemen
worked steadily and induced o few
more men each week to sell the milk
to them and gradually the institution
prospered.
The present proprietors, Messrs.
A. b. Comstock and w. w. Wren.
took charge after the first battle had
been won and they evidently do not
propose to slide back down the hill,
They have reoccupied the entire first
hoor of the creamery building on
which they have a five.year lease.
They have bought the entire plant

up second separator. Having thus
enlarged their facilities for handling
the product of the dairy, they are
preparing to increase the amount OF
milk handled. The gentlemen in
tend to drive over the county and be-
come personally acquainted with
their patrons and to win new ones as
fast as possible. They have also
decided, should demand be found

FRIDAYS CABINET MEETING.
Answers to the Senate and the Far
Eastern Question Discussed.

/ WASHINGTON, Jan. z. - The Cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members except Secretary Alger, who is still
confined to his house by illness. There was
some discussion Of the remaining answers
to be made to the congressional resolution
calling on the heads of the various depart
ments for an expression of opinion as to
the workings of the civil-service regulations
and inviting suggestions for their improve
the interior, navy and war have been with
held. and the subject was discussed to-day
with the purpose of making sure that there
are no broad conflicts of expression in the
answers.
The most important matter considered,
however, was the Eastern situation, which
was discussed at some length. 1t appeared
to be the opinion of the secretary of state
and the members generally that the grav-
ity of the situation was oVereStimated. Ger
manys action, it was thought, had no other
purpose than the acquisition of naval sta
ton, and did not Indicate that she had any
Interior designs upon Chinese territory other
thar for the purpose stated. Great Britain
and the other powers 1t was thought, would
be granted the same concessions Germany
had acquired, but beyond this the European
nations would not seek to go The opinion
was also expressed that the interests of the
United States in China were not at present
in any sense involved, nor were they likely
to be.
The proposed relief expedition to the Klon-
dixie also was touched on. 1t is believed
for additional supplies in the new gold fields,
and it is not likely that final relief steps
will be taken until the necessity for the
expedition has been fully demonstrated.

BRITAIN'S NEW SCHEME
PREPARING TO MAKE HERSELF
"SOLID" WITH THE CHINESE.
May Lend $SO,OOO,OO0 Direct, Instead
of Guaranteeing a LOan-The
japanese War Fleet.

LONDON, Jan. S.-The Cabinet will meet
to-day, presumably to decide about the Chi
nese loan. The Standard, in an important
editorial, apparently inspired says: For
the present it must suffice to say that China
has made earnest overtures for Great Brit
aims good offices and that Lord Salisbury
is giving the closest attention to the mat
ter in its practical aspects. The probabill-
ties point to a settlement, which without
involving undue risk to the British ex-
chequer will secure for England advantages
the value of which cannot be appraised in
mere monetary terms" The editorial pro-
ceeds to state that the loan will be partly
devoted to paying the Japanese indemnity,
and will thus make the Emperor of China
again master of his own house, while ena-
bling the Mikado so to increase his army
and fleet as to render Japan a power which
the strongest Western state cannot afford
to affront" The editorial declares: 1T is
the common policy of England and Japan
to bring the commercial development of chi
ma into harmony with its territorial integ-
rity: and, in pursuance of this policy the
cordial cooperation of the United States
may be presumed" With reference to diff
culties in the way of a British guarantee
loan. the editorial says: Happily, there is
no absolute dearth or expedlentS. Inc
Standard also says it is now rumored that
Great Britain will lend China 8lG, 100000 di
rect, without the issue of guaranteed loan.
A special dispatch from Shanghai says that
a Japanese fleet of three battle ships, ten
first-class cruisers and numerous smaller
vessels has received orders practically plac-
ing it at the disposal of Sir Alexander Butler,
British commander in chief of the Chinese
station, this step being taken lin case Rus
STA persists in ignoring the josat interests of
England and Japan.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
News says he understands that tAe peculiar
form of lease of kaiochau was the outcome
of prolonged negotiations between Germany
and Russia, ending in an agreement and
the mediation of Russia between China and
Germany The correspondent says: This
happy conclusion of Baron Won Bulows
German foreign minister negotiations is
the cause of universal satisfaction here"
1t is semi officially explained at Berlin that
Prince HenryS squadron will still be neces-
sary at kaiochau, as the Germans may
have to reckon for some time TO come with
possible outbursts of Chinese fanatics
1t is also asserted that the cession of Kaio-
chau does not affect the monetary compen-
sation due from China for the murder of
the German missionaries.
A dispatch from Picking says: "China has
rejected the proposals for Russian guaran-
teed loan. Kaochau has been leased to
Germany for fifty years only, although Ger
many had demanded a ninety-year term.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. Three murder

Louis Richards. alias Pierre, alias Creole
by the latter name being notorious, was one
of the trio Together with George Wash
ington and Foxli Morris, also negroes, he
was sentenced to death for numbering and
robbing Jewish peddler named Louis Zeig-
Ter, which happened during last June on
Ellington plantation. near Hahnville. The
murderers were traced by the discovery OF
goods in possession of their female compan-
ions which had belonged to Zeigler Creole
confessed, duplicating the other two and,
with the assistance of his statement, the
authorities obtained conclusive evidence OF
their guilt Creole also confessed that since
1884 he had murdered at least nine men
and one colored woman on various sugar
plantations and for not single one was ne
ever arrested. His victims were prlnclpaily
Italians and Jews, who MADE a living, Ny

Irregularities i'm Money Order Ac-
counts Discovered.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Auditor Castle,
of the postoffice, has discovered irregular
ties in money order accounts/which may
possibly result in a loss to- the govern
ment of a considerable sum. They were
brought to light as the outcome of a new
system of checking accounts by postmas-
tiers which went into effect on the first of
the year. About three years ago the prac-
tice of checking money order accounts in
the office of the auditor was changed, they
being audited by stubs or coupons and not
by the orders themselves, as had been done
previously. If the postmasters returns cor
responded in each item with this coupon the
account was assumed to be correct and was
closed. The money order itself was never
checked by the issuing postmaster's re-
turns, but was only used as a voucher for
the paying postmaster. When Auditor Cas-
tie took charge of the office he discovered
defects in the system which made it possible
for dishonest postmasters to rob the gov
eminent and ascertained there were nine
possible ways in which this could be done.
He then put into operation a new system
which he believed would cover all defects.
One of the most important of these changes
decided on was the adjustment of the
coupon entirely and the checking of both
sides of the postmasters' account by the
money order itself. Several cases have al
ready been detected IN which orders were
issued for as high as $50 and 500 and were
reported by the issuing postmaster at one
or two dollars each How many such frauds
were perperated during the three years in
which the old system was in operation
can only be guessed. An examna-
ton of the 1e0.000.G00 money orders
issued during that time could be made, the
auditor believes by one hundred men in
a year. and if the rate of fraudulent orders
just discovered continues, he thinks it
might be well to do this. How much the
government has lost will not be determined
unless such an examination is made.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA bill was in
troduced in the House to-day by Represent
ative Beknap, of Chicago, proposing retail
iatory steps against France if the plans of
the French government for an increase of
duties on American meat products is car
ried out. Mr.. Bellxnap's bin is understood
TO be expressive of the views of Chicago
and the West generally. as a result of the
recent action of the French Chamber of
Deputies. 1t authorizes an increase of duty
on articles brought from France in amount
equivalent to the additional duties imposed
on American products. The effect of this
move If carried out, it is said. would be to
give the trade of Germany, Italy and Eng
land important advantages over that of
France. The friends of the bill introduced
to-day say it relates not only to the West
but that the Southern States, with their
large product of cotton seed oil, which is
used to a considerable extent in making
lard will be equally alive to the need of re-
taliatory steps which will check or counter
act the present movement of the French
government.
