PATRONIZING FAKES
Farmer Are in Large Measure to
Blame for the Property Of Glib
Ton8ued Sw1ndlers.

Candor compels US to say that
creamery sharks" unreliable tree
peddlers" and others Of that ilk are not
wholly to blame for the harm they do
Farmers must be parties to the schemes
of the gentry referred to if the latter
succeed In doing any swindling. and it
should be distinctly understood that
farmers have duties in the premises
that they should perform, and if they
do not they should expect to suffer the
consequences and ought not complain.
A report is at hand of creamery sup
ply firm that built creamery in a
neighborhood where there were not
COWS enough to support a creamery,
and great is the farmers complaint
thereat. None ought to know better
than farmers that a creamery is no
good without COWS, and they should
not ae held blameless for putting
money into the first in the absence OF
the last. The combined wit or judg-
ment Of half a dozen farmers in any
neighborhood ought to be q match for
any one agent, but If they put wit or
judgment to sleep while dealing with
the agent the latter will get the best of
the deal. Fake SCENTS will continue to
be denounced in these columns, and
readers will continue to be enlightened
and warned regarding their methods,
to the end that they may do less mis-.
chief in the land, but the efforts of tn.

tlnue to patronize the fakes, and cat

Description of and Full Direction
for Building an Artistic
Watering Trough.

Those who drive much in the country
cannot fail to note the increased atten-
ton that is being paid to establishing
watering places for passing teams.
Most of them are placed high enough to
permit the horses to drink without be-
ing unchecked. The next point is to
have these roadside watering places as
attractive as possible. Few seem to
realize how easy 4 matter it is to lay

READING OF PRESIDENTS MES
SAGE IN THE SENATE CAUSED
NO DEMONSTRATION
SENATORS WEARIED OF IT
Retired to the Cloak Room to
Peruse Printed Copies with
Which They Had Been Supplied
distinguished Visitors Grant
ed the Privileges of the Floor
Flowers and Greetings.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-When the
senate convened today to begin the
closing session of the Fifty-fifth con-
gress the chamber presented a notable
and beautiful appearance. BY II o'clock
the public and private galleries were
filed almost to their capacity with a
! distinguished assemblage, including
many ladies in brilliant attire.
On the floor Of the senate the dis
play Of flowers was unusually beautiful
even for the opening day of a session
of congress. The odor of the flowers
filed the chamber.
The memorable scenes enacted in the
chamber during the last session and
the momentous events that have oc-
CURED since congress last adjourned
created feeling of intense expectancy
both by the spectators and members
Of the senate. This was made mani
fest by the long lines Of people in the
corridors, anxious to gain admission to
the galleries, and by the early arrival
or senators on the floor.
Through courtesy of the vice presi-
dent the members Of the Joint high
commission were admitted to the floor
of the senate, and were the recipients
of much attention.
Just before the senate was called
to order several well known members
Of the diplomatic corps appeared in the
diplomatic gallery. Among them were
Sir Julian Pauncefote, ambassador of
Great Britain to the United States and
dean OF the corps, with a party from
the British embassy; Mr.. Wu Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister, and party,
and Mr.. Me Pun Chin, the Korean
minister. All were interested specta-
tors Of the opening scenes Of the ses-
sion and attentive listeners to the read
ing of the presidents message.
During a recess Of three-quarters of
an hour while the senate was await
ing the presentation Of the message
from the president the members Of the
joint high commission held an Informal
levee, greeting personally nearly all the
members Of the American senate.
The reading of the presidents mes
sage, which occupied two hours and
eighteen minutes. was received with
very careful attention for an hour, but
after that the senators drifted to the
cloak rooms and to the committee
rooms, where they could peruse the
message at their leisure, in the print
ed ocpies with which they had been
furnished.
Many persons remained in the gall
leries throughout the reading, but, as
is usual, little attention was given to
the presentation of the message, either
in the galleries or on the floor, after the
opstration occurred during the reading
of the message.
When the clerk had concluded the
reading, Mr.. Mason QIl) presented a
telegram from Mr.. Pritchard IN. c.
announcing that illness prevented his
attendance at the opening session.
At 3:45, on motion Of Mr.. Platt
(Conn.), the senate adjourned.

ing many representatives of foreign
governments, high officials and ladies
and gentlemen conspicuous in social
and political life. The greeting Of the
members were most cordial, and there
was no outcropping Of partisan rancor
to mar the occasion. One of the most
striking incidents was the cordial meet
ing between the floor leaders Of the
respective sides, Messrs. Dingley and
Bailey. In view of the gossip about
the possibility Of Mr.. Bailey being de-
posed as the minority leader, it is sig
nifcant that the speaker named Mr..
Bailey as the minority member of the
committee to wait upon the president,
an honor always bestowed the recog-
nized leader of the minority.
Speaker Reed received a warm well
come from both sides of the house
when he ascerded the rostrum to call
the house to order, but perhaps the
greatest personal ovation to any mem
ber was that given Maj. Gen Wheeler,
of Alabama, who has not been seen by
many Of his old colleagues since he
went to the front at the head Of the

Senator Frye Leaves in Disgust.
PARIS, Dec. 5.-The belief is general
here that there will be a Carlist up-
rising in Spain the moment the peace
treaty Is signed. No one for an instant
believes, however, that the insurreo-
tion will place the Bourbon pretender
on the throne. The French public is
intensely interested in the future of
Spain. The press urges the pretender
not to plunge the country into civil
war. The Spanish Republicans at this
juncture are an ignored quantity. It
is freely admitted that from them
there is no danger, inasmuch as they
are hopelessly divided.
French friends Of the United States
continue to discuss the results that are
likely to grow out of the American
tendency toward expansion. Prof.
Pierre Emile Levasseur, a prominent
political economist and a member OF
the Institute of France, fears that one
of the results Of expansion may be to
make America more protectionist than
ever.
THE cost Of the war and the cost Of
subduing new colonies" he said, de-
mand much money, and the ports Of
entry will be the best place to raise the
necessary funds"
Robert de Caix, in the Journal des
Debats, devotes a long editorial to
the report Of Secretary Alger. While,
in his opinion, the Americans enter
upon their new departure with many
things In their favor-their recognized
business ability and their open-mind-
edness, for instance-he still believes
they have many bitter disappolntments
before them. Hence 1t Is with friend
ly curiosity" he says, that we see
them take up difficult task which we
ourselves have undertaken, and in
which, up to the present, we have SO
poorly succeeded"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-Many SEN
ators excused themselves from express
sion Of opinions at length upon the
message, on the ground that they had
not been able to give careful attention
to all the details. Some senators were,
however, willing to express themselves
in a few general words of commenda-
tion.
Senator CulIom regarded 1t as
'painstal1ing, entertaining and accur-
rate historical review"
Senator Platt, Of New York, COM
mended the expression of a determina-
ton, to increase the standing army and
to maintain order in Cuba until the
Cubans can take care Of themselves.
Senator Wolcott said it was an ad-
miraG-o document. Senator Lodge said
it was "able and excellent" Senator
FOraker-'A good presentation Of facts
generally, but little indefinite on the
question Of Cuban independence" Sen
ator Proctor said: "a good American
paper" Senator Perkins-"It was an
able resume Of the situation and of
the facts leading up to the war;"
The Democrats were even more
aVerse than the Republicans to discuss
the paper. Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
was an exception. He found fault with
q number Of points which did not ac-
cord with his views One of these was
TO continue the volunteers in exile un-
I'll the standing army can be increased.
Some of us do not favor the increase
of the standing army" he said, land
the president has no right to assume
that majority stand with him on that
proposition"
The Arkansas senator also question
ed the presidents right to hold the
volunteers in service beyond the time
of signing the peace treaty, saying on
this point: There is no war in exist
ence, and none is imminent. The law
requires one or the other condition.
and the threat Of the president to hold
the volunteers in the service until the
standing army is increased beyond
what the conscience Of members and
senators dictates, looks to me like a
menace and dictation which I regard
as an outrage and unfavorably."
CURRENCY AND CUBA.
Senator Jones objected to the pres
ident's expression upon the finances
and greenbacks, and said that he did
not believe a majority Of the American
people would indorse him in this re-
spect. The senator also announced
himself as opposed to a subsidy to YES
sells connecting the United States with
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.
as opposed to legislation for the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal as at
present contemplated, and expressed
the opinion that the president was in
clined to go further in the matter of
the government of Cuba than the reso-
lutions of intervention had called for.

FRUITLESS PARLEY.
Peace Commissioners Consume Four
Hours without Result.

PARIS, Dec 5.-The joint commis-
sions conferred for over four hours to-
day. Much Of the discussion concerned
details as to the guaranteeing of the
rights Of Spanish citizens in the ceded
colonies. The debate was energetic,
and the Spaniards on emerging ap-
peared to be detected.
Secretary Ojeda, of the Spanish COM
mission when questioned after the
meeting as to the progress made, an
swered excitedly:
II am almost mad. I cannot talk.
We are making progress"
The American commissioners declin-
ed to say anything further than that
the progress made was satisfactory.
The Spanish commissioners have re-
ceived authority to bind their govern
ment on certain matters, but there are
yet important questions upon which
their instructions are unsatisfactory,
and it is likely that many Of the de-
tails involved in the change Of SOW
ereignty In the Spanish colonies will
be left for settlement when the regu-
lar diplomatic relations between the
two countries are resumed.
will certify the passing of the Oldest
colonial power in the world and the
advent Of the newest was epitomized
by Judge Day this evening in single
sentence:
"a peace treaty can contain any
thing which the victors put into it."
The Americans have listened for
hours with their customary patience to
the technicalities invoked by the
Spaniards, with their customary
shrewdness and persistency, against
every proposal making for the dismem-
berment of their empire
Darkness had come on, and the liv-
cried attendants furnished by the
French authorities had placed a tiny
lamp at the elbow of each commission
er. Senator Frye, whose unconcealed
contempt for diplomatic quibblings ex-
cited the astonishment Of the punctil-
ious Castilians, had stalked home, his
patience exhausted. The burden of the
Spanish arguments was that matters
outside the bare cession and eVacua-
ton of the conquered territories, which
the Americans proposed to cover by the
treaty, were beyond the legitimate and
customary scope Of peace treaty. Be
hind this bulwark Senior Montero Rios,
president of the Spanish commission,
fortified himself, bombarding his op-
ponents with a supply of arguments
and precedents which inspired the free
ly expressed admiration of the Amer
leans. Finally, Judge Day summarize

PERIOD OF FULLY TWENTY
FOUR HOURS
TELEGRAPH WIRES ALL DOWN
Street Car Lines Compelled to

Damage Done in Various Mich
igan Counties-NO Human Lives
Lost, Though Many Animals
Were Killed by Live Wires.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 5.-Detroit has
never suffered such complete isolation
from the outer world as during the past
twenty-four hours, caused by the worst
storm experienced IN these parts, so
far as It's effect upon electric wires is
concerned, in thirteen years.
Sunday noon the white particles be-
gan to come down, and for two hours
It showed ircessantly, wet, soggy
SNOW, which weighed down trees and
telegraph wires and poles until they
snapped and fell in all directions. Some
telegraph service was maintained up
to about g. O'Clock SUNDAY night, when
the last wire went down, and except
one to Toledo, Detroit ha,G no communf-
cation with the outsida world. Bay
City was reached about the middle Of
this morning. Even that service was
very uncertain, wires breaking con-
stantly. Street car service was par
TALLY suspended today.
Detroit almost had e. monopoly Of
Michigan's portion of the blizzard, with
the exception of a few counties in the
southeastern part of the lower peninsu-
La, the rest Of the state escaping it's
worst features.
Estimates Of the damage are hard to
get aus so little progress has been made
In repairing damages. The Bell Tele-
phone company estimates it's loss at
,, $4,000, the Michigan Telephone COM
pany at $4,000; the Western Union
Telegraph company at $1,000, and the
Postal Telegraph company at $4,000.

the First Opportunity.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 5.-A letter
Vincent, of the Minneapolis army hos
pital recruiting station from a young
surveyor who has been living among
the Leech Lake Indians, and in his
spare time has given his attention to
a careful study Of ''Old Bugs" follow
ers. He writes that the Indians are
peculiarly treacllerous lot of out
laws, that they never really intended
to keep faith with Uncle Sam; that
the recent truce is a farce, so far as
they are concerned, and that they are
now preparing for a second uprising
with great deliberation and minute at
tention to detail.
Lieut.. Vincent's correspondent saws
that many Of the Indians have brag-
ged to him recently that carefully pre-
pared plans, which are now being per-
fected, will result in the complete an
Inhalation of the American soldiers at
Leech lake, and will render the posi-
ton Of the native insurgents absolutely
invulnerable to successful attack from
reinforcements. The writer adds that
the Indians go strutting around the
reserve in sort Of dress rehearsal war
paint, poking fun at the handful Of
blue coats there and predicting that
their dominion will last but a very
shcrt time.
The essence of this latest news from
the reservation seems to be that the
Indians are not at all satisfied with
their present condition any more than
they were before the recent rebellion
broke out, and that good many Of
them are quite willing to defy the gov
eminent at the point of the bayonet
again at the first opportunity.
