Put Up Butter in Cartons

The Continental Creamery Co. is
introducing remarkable innovation
in packing butter. Every pound of
butter shipped out Of their factory is
put up in an odor-p-ooi, dust-proof
carton. 1t is such a package as is
used for well known and largely ad-
yertised brand OF biscuit. The carton
is air tigat and butter enc osed there
in will retain its quality and aroma
for years. This carton is the longest
step forward the creamery business
has taken for years. 1t insures abso-
lutely to the customer sweet and un-
tainted butter. Butter in this carton
will not absorb the odor of butcher
shop or grocery store. II it comes to
the house in basket along with a
gallon Of kerosene, a kit Of salt fish
and a pound Of limburger cheese that
makes no difference. 1t reaches the
consumer as sweet and as fresh as the
day it left the factory.

BANNER YEAR FOR CROPS IN KANSAS
TIE M'KINLEY FUND.
A Plan Devised by the Superintendent Of
Schools at Cleveland to Get Contribu-
tions from the Children.

Cleveland, O., Dec. I'll. H. Jones,
superintendent of the Cleveland pub
lis schools. has devised a plan for re-
ceiving contributions from public pu-
pills to the Mckinley national memo
rial fund that has received the hearty
approval Of the officials Of the ma
tional association. It is pointed out
that in the schools, attended alike by
the children of rich and poor. public
offerings often cause suffering to SEN
sitive pupils. Mr.. Jones' plan is for a
secret contribution. Each pupil will
be supplied with an envelope on
which will be written the name and
home address. Whether a contribu-
tion is made or not this envelope will
be sealed and handed to the teacher,
who will send it to the designated
treasurer. In this way no one knows
the amount of the contribution, or
whether one has been given at all.
Contributions from a penny up are
received. Every contributor is given
a souvenir certificate, no matter how
small his offering. This souvenir GER
tifcate further preserves contribu-
tors pride by simply stating that he
is a contributor without giving the
amount. In this way the children
who have given penny and the mil
lionaire who contributes his thou
sands are on equal footing. The Nc
Kinley National Memorial association
thinks so well of the idea that it will
probably indorse its use for the entire
country.

DIGGING ABILENA WELL.
Plenty Of Water ID Assured for tho
Increased Demand.

II there ever was any doubt about
the supply of mineral water in the
AbilenA wells being sufficient for the
demand as the business increases
there is none now. Five wells have
been put down and all are full Of
water and in addition another eight
feet in diameter is being dug. When
this reaches the water vein it will be
enlarged and large basin formed for
the supply. When this well is com.
pleted 20 car loads Of water can be
pumped at time. The new AbilenA
company is booming and promises to
be great success.

STATE GAINED 100000 IN
PRODUCTS IN 1901
Drouth hid Not Affect the Returns Of
the Farm and Range Splendid
Showing Made By Department Of
Agriculture,

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 10.-Secretary
Coburn, of the Kansas state board Of
agriculture, yesterday issued his last
crop bulletin for 1901, presenting a
final summary of the agricultural,
horticultural and live stock products
OF the state-yields, numbers and
values, including winter and spring
wheat, the yield Of which is the larg-
est ever produced in any year by any
state, also corn.
y, Notwithstanding the shortage in
value Of the diminished corn crop,
there is net increase of $7,45S,246 in
the value Of this years agricultural
productions over that of 1900, max
ing the total for these, as it is in
live stock values, the greatest in the
states history.
Oats and rye each have an increased
value, amounting to $1,4O5,l95 to-
gether, although the former crop fell
more than 100000 bushels below
the 1900 yield, while the production
Of rye is greater by nearly 81 per
cent. Irish and sweet potatoes are
less by 100000 bushels than last
year.
Other crops, mostly Of minor i'm
portance, show decreases in both
yield and values, except tame and
prairie hay, which, together, although
having fewer tons, are given a value
exceeding last years by $7,3ls,6O2, or
1873 per cent; also the sorghums for
grain and forage this year are worth
more than last by $l,13s,339, or 1871
per cent.
For the surplus animals slaugh-
tered or sold for that purpose, the
total value is $6O,9O2, 2,24l, an increase
over the previous year Of more than
$6,5S0,O00, or IL per cent, while the
value Of the dairy and poultry prod
ucts and wool exceed their combined
value in 1900 by $l,il1,045..
All live stock have increased in
numbers except sheep and swine,
which show comparatively slight de-
1cre5 ses, but the total value amounts
to Sl53,037,732, a net increase for the
year of $9,579,979.
The aggregate value OF all farm
products and live stock in 1901, the
largest ever reported for the state,
Is S34S,292,3S4, an increase over the
previous years values of $17,o3s,225,
or an increase in two years OF over
$45000,000.

THE PUNISHMENT
 COMMITTEE MEETS
Ministers in Pekin Refuse to Fur niSh Information italian
 Soldiers Arrested.

Pekin, January 30.-The ministers punish- ment committee met this afternoon to con- tinue the discussion of what measure of punishment to demand for provincial of ficials, where foreigners have been killed. The ministers refused to furnish any infor- nation as to the result of their delibera- tions
 meeting of all the ministers will prob ably be held tomorrow.
 Three Italian soldiers entered a house occupied by MT. Jameson, an American, close to the legation, supposing 1t was in- habited by Chinese, and intended to loot They insulted MT. Jameson's guests and Mr. Jameson sent for the guard stationed at the legation. In the struggle an Italian was wounded. They were all arrested and turned over to the Italian authorities, who have requested an explanation.
 The missionaries last night met and pre- pared final resolutions, which were pre- sented to the British minister, Sir Ernest Satow, and the United States minister, Edwin H. Conger, today.
 The preamble sets forth the fact, mot sufficiently emphasized in the note," the Chinese attacked everything representing
 
 rebuke for the fragrant violation of treaties and that no indemnity is asked for the Chris an Chinese who suffered heavy loss. Finally the missionaries say nothing has been inserted in the note safeguarding the missionaries, and they earnestly request Sir Ernest Satow and MT. Conger to that the former treaties protecting missionaries are reaffirmed; that the government should be forced to allow Chinese of any rank to accept Christianity without injury to their prospects; that the missionaries should be allowed to live in the interior, own property and possess passports compelling their of ficial acceptance, that friendly intercourse between the missionaries and officials be encouraged and that relief should be found for the suffering native Christians The missionaries earnestly hope that Great Britain and the United States will take a leading part in the coming transformation of China, helping the rulers to interlines of reform which can alone save the country.

Modieska.

During the many years the theatre-going public have been privileged to see the great tragic actress, Madame Modjeska, none of her many brilliant portrayals have earned such a popular and permanent place in the esteem of her public as that of Mary Stuart, which she will give on her appear ance here at the matinee today. The man. of course, because it brings the most money to their box offices, but after all, financial results and artistic excellence are rarely out of harmony. The perennial popularity of a play such as Mary Stuart is evil dence enough that. although the world grows more democratic as the generations come and go there has never been any cessation of interest in the passions of kings and queens. It Is tribute to the generosity of human nature that when the world has outgrown to a large extent the there is no prejudice against the represen- tation the stage. Even in the United States, the most democratic country in the world, public sympathy Is readily aroused in favor of legitimate heirship and indg- nation is readily precipitateC against the usurper. Thus the passions of royal per- sonages are made our own for the time being through the skllful art of the player and the dramatist.
 Apart from Modjeska herself, much in- terest will center in the appearance Of the well-known actors, R. D. MacLean and Miss Odette Tyler, who are at the head Of the supporting company.
 "King John'' will be the bill tonight.

THE LYcEUM.

 Wilson Next.

Al inc lecture of Professor DeMotte last "wednesday at the Auditorium, which was the seventh of the Lyceum course secre- tary H. K. White announced that tnereai- ter the balance of the course wouio pe given at Seals Hall, because the Lyceam membership did not grow beyond the ca pacity of Seals Hall as was expected a' the commencement of the course, and pe- cause the rent of the Auditorium Is three times as much as Seals Hall and the out side admissions to the entertainments or the Lyceum so far have been nothing ike the rent. The consequence has been that the Auditorium rent has been eating into the Lyceum fund, which was designed to pay for a full course of lectures.
 The eighth number of the Lyceum course, as announced at DeMotte's lecture, will be Sparks from the Anvil,' by pr. Homer T. Wilson of Fort Worth, Tex, tomorrow and beloved by nearly all commercial trav- elers in America, as he is national chap lain of their T. P.

 The single admission will be 50 cents. There will be no reserved seats at Seals Hall.
