APPLE FE DEER.
A Strange Sight Seen by n Maine Farmer
Who Did Have n Gun with Him.

BANGOR. Me-. Oct. 1.-THE tameness OF the
deer this year is remarkable. They chum with
cattle In the pastures and make themselves at
home in barnyards. while a few cases are re-
ported where men have made pets OF deer and
allowed them to fattcn in their orchards. so
that the animals might DO good and fat when
the shooting season opened. Such an apple-
fed deer was brought to Bangor on Monday,
and II Is asserted that the fruit diet will greatly
Improve the flavor Of the meat.
A man who was carting q load Of apples
along the road to Ellsworth, the other DAY, had
q strange Cxperiece with hungry deer. The
cart broke down. and the man decided 70 camp
out on the road for the night. At midnight he
his outfit surrounded by a herd of deer who
were helping themselves to the apples In the
crates and boxes. The man had o. gun, but Il
was one day before open time. and III had too
much respect for tho law TO shoot.

A Fool and q Woman.

From ne Cleveland Leader.
She never cared for him
Until there came a day
When he fell in love with her
And acted In such q way
As to fill hia astonishcd friends
With feelings Of dismay.
Mon used 10 honor him
For tho good sense that he had,
But he fell In love with her
And carried on like mad,
And people saw. amazed,
And said II was too bad.
Then she that had never cared
And had turned to other men
Would deiCn TO smile sometimes,
For. being o woman, when
She had made 4 fool OF the man
She rather liked him then.

Dogs in Court In Gibson County.

Prosecutor Kilroy is determined
the people shall be sick of the dog
law passed by the republican legis-
lature. He has finished up his
work in Posey county and now is
making dog owners howl in old
Gibson N4
Squire Corder has disposed Of
about dozen, while Justice Sprowl
has eight to his credit with more to
follow. In the majority Of cases
the persons interested usually come
in and plead guilty, thereby saving
considerable cost.
The Democrat:
Bow Wow! The dogs are hav-
ing their day. All the mills Of JUS
tice in the city are grinding out big
grists of dog cases. Prosecutor
Kilroy has finished his dog work in
the land Of hoop poles and has de-
scended like an avenging angel on
the innocents Of staid old Gibson.
The work of prosecuting dog owners
who have failed to pay their tax on
CANNES owned aud harbored by
them, opened this morning. Pa
toka township citizens are first TO
feel the awfulness of the late repub.
lican law. The prosecutor has
something like 149 indictments
against dog owners in this township.
The cases will be divided out among
the different courts Of the city.
1t is really funny the way the
new law acts on different people.
Some come into court rather sad,
sorrowful, and inquire in a meek
voice, "How much is it? | plead
guilty" Then they hand over
like $40 to pay on
NANCY cur worth about Is cents,
and depart relieved-of their cash
at least. Others come in with a
bluff and lawyer. Later they go
out leaving their bluff, lawyer and
coin behind.
Each case amounts to $40 or
more, usually, and in the long run
is very expensive. Each township
in the county will take its turn at
The mill and shell out the coin Of
the realm and a few cuss- words.
it will take some time for the
prosecutor to dispose Of these cases,
tor they are very numerous. In
he meantime, get your money
ready, and register vow to vote the
democrat ticket hereafter, and life
will glide along without hitch

WOMEN AS CITIZENS.

The bill passed by congress max
ing Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris,
daughter of Gen. Grant, an Ameri-
can citizen, or, rather, to restore her
citizenship, calls attention to the
queer status of women in regard to
nationality. Although other coun-
trios besides this have repudiated
most of the features Of the cruel
common law in regard to married
women, yet, in all. SO far as known,
that system is still in operation so
far as citizenship is concerned. The
moment woman marries, she be-
comes of the same nationality as her
husband. She may get naturalized
If she desires, but that gives no
more rights than marriage itself.
When the husband dies, the widow
remains citizen of his country, al
though she may be living in her own
land, and to regain her citizenship
she must either be naturalized in
the ordinary way, or else she must
have special act of congress pas
sed for her benefit. There are sew
eral odd cases Of this, the queerest
OF which is that of an American
woman in Singapore. She married,
in that city, naturalized British
subject, and with him lived in sever
al other countries. He died, and at
the same time, her brother gave her
some real estate in this country. 1t
was held by the lawyers, and after
wards Informally by the state de-
Ipartment, that she was still British
subject, and could not become the
full owner of the land without
escheat until she renaturalized with
in the United States, which she did,
and then her title was clear. Gin

THE COST OF CREAMERY BUILDINGS
AND OUTFITS.

The experience of the Indiana Ex
pertinent Station has been called tc
the tact that certain agents of cream
cry supply houses are at present
working in Indiana, endeavoring to
organize stock companies, with the
purpose of erecting and equippine
expensive creamery buildings.
To express it mildly, during the
years 1919, creamery promoters"
carried on work in Indiana, that
did the dairy interests of the state
great damage. People unfamiliar
with the creamery business, and the
conditions essential to success, were
led to form stock companies by
promoters" pledging themselves
to purchase of firms the promoters
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1898-12-23

represented, buildings and equip
ments costing far more than circum
stances would justify. AS a result
of this scheming, came collaps,
later on that greatly injured tn,
dairy interests of the state. Build
ings were erected where in many 10
calities not enough milk could bs
secured to pay for the running O
the plant. The excessive cost o.
outfit, and small supply of milk
coupled with lack of knowledge oi
the business, swamped beyond re.
demption many creamery stock
companies The writer has in his
possession a crd OF 80 creameries
in Indiana, that went into insolven
cy, and are n,w defunct, which cost
originally over 5000, 900. This was
dead loss to stockholders, to say
nothing of other losses beside the
original plant.
Creamery buildings may be erect
ed in which first class butter may be
made, for from $500 to 81 900, and
equipped with machinery tor hand
ling 900 to 10000 pounds of milk
perday, at cost of not over 81 800,
or an estimated total cost of 81, 500
at the outside. In some places$2, 900
will establish this plant. Outside
of building, the two heaviest items
of expence are for separator, engine
and boiler. The very best separator
may be bought for from $4O0 to
$500, separating from 1000 to
$500 pounds of milk per hour. An
engine and boiler costing new from
$400 to $500 will be necessary.
Milk vats holding 600 gallons Of
milk may be purchased for $50 or
less, cream vat holding 200 GAL
Ions for about $35, standard butter
worker for $40, churn about $50,
with many other items in the way
of equipment, mostly in a small way
There are reputable, well estab-
lished supply houses that will sell
persons any thing or everything
necessary to use in creamery at
reasonable prices, or will assist in
locating creameries where desired.
People who wish to establish cream
cries will be wise to get bids from
different supply houses, and so re-
ceive the most favurahle terms.
First, however, they should be guild
ed in their new work by clear head
ed, fair minded men, entirely famil-
lar with creamery management and
equipment, who are not in the en-

ployment of parties interested in
selling buildings or machinery
With such a person looking after
the stockholders interests, cream
cry may be established that will
answer all purposes and at reasona-
bic cost.
No cooperative creamery should
ever be established, before con-
tract has been made and signed
among the several stockholders and
patrons, to guarantee specific
amaunt of milk during
the year. If milk cannot be assured,
the future of the creamery will hang
In the balance. G. S. PLUMB,

capped on the account of lack of

Well, dear friends, this country of

SO much for great men as true men,

take very great bishop to be true

with his name written on it. 1t
does not take very great preacher
to be true to the discipline or law of
The church he ministers to. 1t does
not take great husband to be true
to his wife, great father to be true
to his child. Still, let us face this,
that we are not great people, and
that we lack great people in our
ranks, but bless the Lord that we
are true people! For my part, | re-
fuse to be discouraged. We are
Christian people, we believe in God;
we say we do; we are disciples of
His, helpers Of His, we put ourselves
in His cause, and we consider it no
more than reasonable service, to
offer cur bodies to Him a living sac
rifice to humanity. Let us treat
ourselves as loving Christians. and
treat this as Christian country, it
is a Christian country, and furnish
a place whether many or few, where
a man who wants to be out and out
for Jesus Christ, can live and vote.

method Of electing now is aristo-

his successor. 1t was born in in

Acknowledges the Resolutions Adopted
by the Confederate Veterans.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-President
Mckinley has sent the following letter
to Gen. John B. Gordon, in response
to the resolutions adopted by the Con.
federate Veterans association in ses-
sion at Atlanta, Ga:
Executive Mansion.
Washington, July %, 1893.
To Hon. John b. Gordon, Commander
in-Chief United Confederate Veter-
ans, Atlanta, Ca:
Dear Gen. Gordon: Your recent tel
egram in behalf Of the United Confed-
crate Veterans was very welcome and
l would have written to you before in
acknowledgement excepting for the un-
usual demands upon my time.
The present war has certainly served
one very useful purpose in con pletely
obiterating the sectional lines drawn
in the last one. The response to the
nation call to arms has been equally
spontaneous and patriotic in all parts
Of the country. Veterans of the gray
as well as of the blue are new fighting
side by side winning equal honor and
renown. Their brave deeds and the
unequalled triumphs of our army re-
ceive the gratitude of the people of
the United States.
To have such hearty commenda-
tion from yourself and your colleagues
of the work of this administrator in
the conduct Of the war, and the pledge
of whatever support may be needed &c
help in bringing it to successful COM
pletion is indeed most gratifying: end
l thank you especially for the frank
and cordial expression of the resolu.
tions passed and forwarded to me.
With very kind regards, am
Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM MOKINLEY.
