clemency of the weather, there was a
merry party of about three hundred IN

embraced all the seasons substantials and
deIlcacies. fresh from the farm, ana a
committee of the good wives Of the dairy
men praciously attended TO the wants OF
the throng Of guests
After supper the guests repaired to the

stationed upon the stage and rendered a
programme Of tuneful selections, to which
the hours were happily spent in tripping

ing the amusement as well as the young
er ones.
There was one brief intermission, when
ex-Sheriff Lewis Steenrod. president of
the association, made few remarks. with
view to interesting the milkmen who
are not members of the association.
Drs. Refer, Petrie and Kinsey. veter-
mary physicians, were introduced. and
terest TO the dairymen. After the adj
dresses dancing was resumed. The affair
was in charge of a committee composed
Of G. E. McC,shey. S. f. Simpson, Lewis

successful that it will he repeated an

The Dairymen's Association is chartered
under the laws of this State, and now has
-.
hers will be received at the next meeting.
The object OF the association. and its
aims. were explained to a Register re-
porter by one of the most prominent
members.
The prime object Of the organization, =
he said, us TO maintain the quality OF
milk We have asked the City Council 10
make the inspection of milk one of the
duties of the proposed food inspector.
Wheeling has been a dumping ground for
impure milk, and some local dealers have
adulterated milk. until sellers of the pure
article have been forced 10 take action in
self-defense.
The impression that we are organized
for the purpose of advancing prices is err
roneous There have been cuts in prices,
but not in the price of pure milk At six
cents a quart in summer and eight cents
in winter. we are allowed a living profit,
and We propose to maintain such a stand
ard of excellence that citizens will be
willing to pay our price. with the knowl-
edge that they are not receiving adulter-
ated milk. In a word, we propose TO ele-
waite the standard Of the milk, and feel
satisfied that the price will take care of
itself.
"A little later we propose to establish a
feed store on the cooperative plan. not to
do a general business, but to furnish feed
to members OF the association at cost
price"

To the Sporting Editor Of the Register.
Dear Sir: Mr.. "Tugger" Ryan, the

says he has a large number of boxers
who would go to the front in case Of
war. He says Chas. Augustus Burns,
the Beau Brummel. is the first to VOL
unteer, and that his big, high silk hat
he would have to leave at home in case
he would go. OF course, Burns would
want to be cook or somewhere away
from the enemy. where the bullets are
very scarce. Mr.. Ryan says, among
the number here arc Charley Johnson,
Leslie Pearce Kid Wongo, Jack Fo-
garty and little Joe Bruner. all Of
whom wouldn't be in the hunt with
our Charley. He is considered a good
general in ring, as well as in an ar
my, that is, without any enemy. He
would have several medals If he should
return, not for bravery, but for eating.

London, April 15.-The morning pa
pers are filled with dispatches from the
continent, nearly all Of the same tenor.
The belief that war is inevitable is uni
versal, as well as the feeling Of histility
to the United States: The papers con
tain also numerous articles specializing
upon the effect Of war upon securities,
the markets and other interests.
Paris, April 1.-THE feeling here of
both the press and the public is very
strong against the United States, espec-
tally since President McKinley's mes
sage. MI. Mckinley is compared to
Pom Jus plate, and the American Con
gross is accused Of a bucoanneering
spirit which it is feared viii entend to
the possessions of other nations as well
as those of Spain.
There is feverish activity at the gov
eminent dock yards in completing yes
sells and re-arming old ones.
Frenohmen are quite indignant at the
suggestion that the United States will
possibly decline privateering and the
powers, in consequence, may force
Spain also to renounce the privilege.
1t is believed that the government will,
however, preserve a strict neutrality.
