yet she may be merely an expensive

tested, not only as to amount of butter

requires to make 1t from. The test
should involve n careful weighing of
feed as well as butter, and cows that
do not yield reasonable profit should

he WASN'T WELL

Regarding the recently published
statement from Rev. Clay Mac Cauley
that in a conversation with Admiral
Dewey. the American commander said
to him: Rather than make a war of
conquest on this people would pull up
anchor and sail out of the harbor," the
Albany Journal says:
1T is just as certain as anything can
be that Admiral Dewey never said that.
To prove that he did not it is not at
all necessary to consider what Admiral
Dewey's personal views of the govern
ment's course may be. 1t is merely nee
essary to observe that the words attrib-
uted to him imply defiance of orders
which might be sent to him by the sec
rotary of the navy. Admiral Dewey is
incapable Of speaking such words. Mr..
Mac Cauley may believe that he heard
the admiral say them. but his belief is
based on error Let it be renemb ered
in this connection. for the sake of char
ity to Mr. Mac Cauley, that he himself
says that he was not well when he went
to Manila"

Cherries cure Rheumatisra.

TFrom the Washington Start
I have never known a person to suffer
from rheumatism who ate freely OF
cherries and I know Of hundreds who
have been relieved of attacks by eating
them. I nave often had cherries ordered
two and three months before the season
for them opened hereabouts. and to sup
ply the orders have had to send to Cuba
and California for them. The ordinary
cherry contains an acid which relieves
if it does not effectually cure. OF course
it may all be in the season, and that
rheumatism would disappear anyhow,
but it is safe to say that there is no
rheumatism during the cherry season.

though even the best tasting, thorough

cOlored people Of the south think, and 1t
may be that the same belief exists else
where and among others as well, that
all the cramp or collie is taken out Of
the cherry by eating it, swallowing
stone and all. That unquestiOnably was
the practice once, but in recent years
fears of appendicitis may have changed
it somewhat, though, for the life of me,
I cannot understand why it is so dan
gerous now to swallow apple seeds,
grape seed, or cherry stones, when in old

rather than the exception. In Florida

from Muncie Ind, to the effect that Phi

Missouri 80 years ago. would attend the
trial of his brother in Missouri and at
tempt to prove that his sister Cornelia

laughed at here, where the parties are
well known.
At the time Gilbert Gates was killed
Corneha Street was married to Gavin
Street and had several children. Accom-
panied by her husband she went to Mis-
souri, with Alex Jester, and moved her
goods in the very wagon that was owned
by Gilbert Gates at the time he was muir
dered. She never saw the unfortunate
young man, besides, she was many years
his senior.

SINGLE GOLD STANDARD.
Republican Caucus Committee Strong
ly Favors It.

Washington, July LIT is stated
authoritativeIy that the financial meas
ure prepared by the house caucus COM
mittee of Republicans at Atlantic City
declared strongly for the single gold
standard. If the senate finance COM
mittee, now at work at Narragansett
Pier modified this declaration, the fight
for it's retention will be made in the
house
The most interesting fact in this con-
nection is that the president, when the
bill was submitted to him with it's sim
gle gold standard clause, expressed high
approval of this provision. 1t is pre-
dicted, therefore, that the next platform
of the Republican national convention
will contain an explicit declaration in
favor of the gold standard, so that there
will be Disgusting the position Of
the Republicans-nO hiding of the real
intention of the platform makers under
the cloak of bimetallism. The subject
was discussed at the Atlantic City con-
ference, and while many details of the
proposed bill did not satisfy all the
members of the conference, all agreed
upon the gold standard declaration.
With only Is majority in the house,
the attempt to fasten the gold stand
ard more firmly upon the statute books
is felt by those who took part in the
conference to be a hazardous proceed
ing, but the western mem berS insisted
that their colleagues would not bolt
from the party when the test came. 1t
is realized that the senate IS the cru
cla4 point 1Or the OIL, DuC even IN Lndl
body, with its unusually large Republi-
can majority, the measure may be safe.
Senator Chandler is the only Republi-
can thus far who has definitely stated
that he will not vote for a single gold
standard bill. Senator Warren of Wy
oming, who was in Washington a few
days ago, and whose position is of in
terest on account of the silver senti-
ment prevalent in his state, said that he
hoped the new bill would contain
clause favoring the larger use of silver,
whenever other nations took the initia-
tive in that direction.
It is proposed that a para graph of
this nature-which,i in fact. means moth
ing-will be Incorporated in the bill,
as it will satisfy the western contin-
gent and will not operate against the
purpose of the measure. If it is not
Incorporated, however, Senator War
rem will probably vote for the single
gold standard declaration.

BARTHOLDT AND KAISER.
VIII Invite the German Emperor TO
the Worlds Fair,

Berlin, July 1L-Congressman Bart
holdt is here, and intends to interview
Minister of Foreign Affairs Won BueloR
and Emperor William, as he says, if 1t
takes all summer. He states that he
has an unofficial mission from Secre-
tary OF State Hay at Washington to
convey to the German government, the
assurance that at no time has the Uni
ted States contemplated forming an al
lance with Great Britain.
When he sees the emperor, which he
will in all probability do as soon as
his majesty returns from his annual
yachting cruise, he says he will invite
him to attend the St Louis Worlds
fair, to be held in 1903. He says that
he is amply able to impress upon the
Kaiser the valuable results that would
follow such visit, and can assure him
that to no European ruler would the
American people rather pay homage
than to him. He expects that good re-
suits for the fair will follow the Invi-
tation, and even expresses q faint hope
that his majesty may accept it.

A Bourbon County Farmer Success
fully Experiments With Plaster.

Fry decided to try an experiment on
one of his prairie farms. He put 81 Is
worth of plaster to the acre on a 80
acre farm and then soWed it in wheat
The wheat has just been harvested,
and it is at least a third better than
wheat grown on bottom land, much
better land without the plaster. Joshua
Butler tried a similar experiment and
he reports that the wheat thus treated
will yield 20 to 25 bushels an acre
Wheat in an adjoining field planted on
the same day and on precisely the same
ground, will not run more than five
bushels to the acre.
A dollar and quarter an acre spent
in plaster will bring from eight to if
teen dollars an acre in wheat.
