IN CASE OF WAR.
Japan the Only Nation Which
Might be Tempted to Interfere.

NEW YORK, March 22-The Her

viewed Sir Charles Dixie as to the reIa-
tons between the United States and
Spain. He thought that there was 40
doubt that If war came the United
states could more than hold their own.
lie did not think it possible Spain would
attempt to block American ports.
Asked as to the attitude of other coun-
tries in case of war Sir Charles said:
Japan is perhaps the only nation that
might be tempted to interfere. She has
not found the opportunity for expansion

between the United States and Spain

IOWA LEGISLATURE.

DIES MONIES Ga), March %. = The
Senate bill to place the State institu-
lions under a Board of Control passed
the lower House to-day-I1 to 20-after
the widest time ever witnessed in the
Iowa Legislature.
The Speaker allowed the bill to pass
to the third reading on a simple ma
jority vote, thus shutting off all amend
ments and debate. This enraged the
Republican opposition TO the bill for
Il time, and great confusion prevailed.
The Chair was loudly reproached on
the floor by the members. The COM
mittee amendments giving the Board
of Supervisors power over the State
educational institutions were adopted.
1t is believed the Senate will concur
in the House amendments.

NO NEUTRAL COURT.
Amy Demand by Spain for Arbitra-

CHICAGO, March 21.-The Post S
Washington correspondent says:
The time taken by the Court of In
curry to investigate the Maine disaster
has given the President opportunity
to test the sense of Americans. and TO
formulate a course of action. All
doubts may be set at rest, and the peo-
pie may be certain that their will with
regard to Cuba will be executed. There
has never been doubt on that point,
but there has been uncertainty as to
the time and methods which it might
be best to employ.
1t is as good as settled that any de-
mand from Span for reference Of the
issues growing out of the Maine verdict
to a neutral court of arbitration will
be denied. The position taken is that
If the report is anything short Of an
explanation of the clearly preVentible
causes. the cause of national honor can
not be disassociated from the issues,
and that no question in which national
honor is involved even in the remotest
dreSee. can be submitted to arbitration

First Months Business Of Our Infant
Enterprise.
VERY PROMISING BEGINNING
Has demonstrated that 1t will Become a Suci
cess as Soon as Farmers wake up

While the business Of the Weiser
Creamery is small for the first month,
it is sufficient to show that the en-
ierprise can be made a brilliant sue
cess as quick rs our ranchmen rouse
up to the occasion and furnish full
supply of milk
The opening day the creamery re-
ceived little over 800 pounds OF
milk. At the close of the month Ii
was receiving daily 1900 pounds.
The first months product was 1881
pounds of butter which sold for 25
cents per pound, bringing total of
1892 10 of which the creamery
earned SAG So, being the charge of
81 cents per pound for making. The
farmers received $2S6 II.
The creamery expenses are greater
than its income up to date, as the ex-
penses are the same as il it were
handling double the quantity Of
milk and turning out twice the pro-
duct 1t can only keep even or make
a little money, by having large
quantity of milk to handle, rs the 81
cents per pound FOR making the but
Ter is the only income it has, with
the exception Of limited sales Of but

The result of the FIRST month shows
that cow will earn about SO to SO so
month to the farmer-20 cows are
good for $50 month outside OF
your other farm incomes, besides you
get all your skim milk back for feed
ing purposes.
There is no reason why every far
, MGR should not be getting his share
of the creamery money each month
/ and by increasing the supply to the

returns up to $500 or 500 month
