New Stations In Arid and subarid
Regions.

Congress last session made an appro-
priation for the purpose of increasing
the number Of stations in the arid and
snbarid regions Of the country and pro-
vision has already been made to estab-
lish stations at Kalispell, Mon. !; Boise,
Ida. Mount Tamalpais, Gal. ; Flagstaff,

stations will soon be located at Merid.

Unclean Milk.

The Kansas college dairy secured
samples Of milk from persons that were
engaged more or less in the dairy bust
ness and placed these in long, narrow
glass tubes. After being allowed to
stand for several hours these tubes were
examined and notes taken on the
amount Of dirt. that settled to the bot
tom. Considerable difference was found,
some samples being almost free from
visible dirt, while others had SO much
it formed an irregular ring along the
lower edge Of the tube. While this test
is a good one to detect solid PARTICLES of
dirt in the milk, it is by no means con-
elusive, as where milk is handled in an
uDcleanly manbe more or less dirt be-
comes dissolved in the milk and cannot
be separated out. This goes to illustrate
the Importance Of the utmost cleanli-
ness in handling milk. We object
strongly to milk being adulterated with
water, but this is not to be compared
with adulterating it with dirt ID. II.

Secret Agents of Kruger Said to
Be Among the Citizens Of
Natal.
Have Already Sent Valuable In
formation to Transvaal
Authorities.
Full Text of Kruger's Reply Now
in the Colonial Secretary's
Hands.

P1ETERMAR1TzBURG, Natal, Aug. Ga
In connection with the rumor that there
are many Beers who are British sub
jects and who outwardly sympathize
with the British, while in reality they
are secret agents of President Kruger
OF the Transvaal republic, the premier
OF Natal declared that it was the inten-
tion of the government to take steps to
detect and punish any British subjects
cooperating with the enemies of the
queen. 1t is alleged that much secret
information has been conveyed to Pres
ident Kruger and that even ambuscades
have been prepared for the British
troops in the event of war, by these
secret agents.
A force of police has been ordered to
Colenso, owing to the rumors Of the in
tention Of the Beers to destroy the rail.
road bridge at that place.
CAPE Town, Aug. 24.-Although the
cabled summary Of the counter propo-
sltion of the Transvall government to
Great Britain's proposition for a joint
committee to inquire as to what effect
the reform franchise measures would
have on the Outlanders is probably in
complete, it undoubtedly gives the gen.
eral lines accurately.
The Mafeking horse regiment is mob
ilizing rapidly. Several hundred re-
cruits have arrived and been equipped
here and have joined Vivian's camp.
Every train is bringing fresh recruits.
It is rumored that 800 Beers have
formed a laager on the border.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. PA dispatch
from chihuahua, Mex, says the mill
tary authorities there have received
telegraphic advices of an attack upon
The town of Cumpac by band of about
800 Yaqui Indians. The place was
without military protection but the
Mexican citizens barricaded themselves
in their adobe houses and resisted the
attack for 10 hours, when the Indians
withdrew. Several houses were burned
by the Indians and so men and women
were killed. It is thought that num-
Der of Indians were killed and wounded,
but as they We're carried off the number
of casualties cannot be definitely stated.
AS soon as the Indians withdrew a
courier was sent to Torin for military
protection and two companies of cav
airy have been ordered to the town.

Dictated the Platform Agreed on by tho
Nebraska Democratic Convention.
OMAHA, Aug. 24.-Nebraska Demo-
Gratis, Populists and Silver Republicans
met in this city and fused on nomina-
tions for judge of the supreme court
and two members of the board of re-
gents of the state university. Former
Governor Silas "A. Holcomb was nomi-
mated for supreme justice by the Popu-
lists and endorsed by the other two
conventions though not without q
fight in the Democratic gathering,
where there was strong opposition to
him emanating from Douglas county.
This opposition centered on former
United States Senator Allen, who could
have had a majority of the ballots in
the convention but he pushed the prof
fered honor aside and supported his
friend, Holcomb. Allen was chair
man of the resolutions committee in the
Populist convention and William j.
Bryan was delegate to the Democratic
gathering.
Bryan Dictated the Platform
of the Democratic convention. This
document declared uncompromisingly
for the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 1G to and indorsed bodily the Chi
cago platform of 1896.
The platform of the Populist conven-
tion Endorsed the platform of the Popu-
list national convention of 1895 and in
addition contained planks denouncing
the policy Of the administration in the
Philippines.
The platform of the Silver Republic
ans was much the same and contained
in addition a strong plank declaring
against the use Of railroad passes by
public officials.
The pass resolution was adopted by
the Populist convention without dissent
but stirred up a great commotion among
the Democrats, many of whom
Fought 1t to the Finish
and for a time the gathering was re-
solved into scene of great disorder.
Finally the matter was put to a vote
and the resolution declared passed al
though not over dozen delegates voted
on either side.
Mr.. Bryan addressed all three con-
ventlons and was emphatic in his de.
nunciation of the administrations pol
icy in the Philippines. He also spoke
vigorously in supportof the free coinage
of silver, declaring it to be the main
issue now before the public. He de.
nounced trusts in strong terms and
criticised the administration for doing
nothing to regulate them. He was
received with great enthusiasm.
For regents of the state university
the conventions nominated Edison Rich
Of Omaha and j. L. Teeters of Lincoln,
the names going through without op-
position.
